Chapter 431 - The ghostly wails of the eight(Part-3) (2/2)

The other could only look dejected at the sight in front of them as True-Spear spoke, ”Ryuu please stay here with Frost while we will simply scout ahead okay.”

With that group left behind the duo and as they were a out of their earshot Zywia rounded up True-Spear as she spoke, ”What was that? Why did you all of sudden suggest Ryuu to stay behind.”

”Were you paying attention to him while he was working on his array?”

Zywia was taken aback at his question but before she could speak Amnon began with a frown, ”He was distracted, the Ryuu I know is not distracted when he is working on an array, not to mention he looks so worn our and tired.”

True-Spear nodded at that as he spoke, ”Yes that was the reason I told him to sit back and rest, the Ryuu that I know would not agree to that suggestion without a fight yet he…”

Frozen Ocean narrowed her eyes as she spoke, ”Is that why you made your Martial Sister to stay back.”

True-Spear nodded at her question as he spoke, ”Yes with the hope that she would be able to discover what is eating him up, being distracted will prove fatal too him.”

Daniella bit her lips as she spoke, ”This place is the cause of it, ever since we approached the ruins he is acting strange but why?”

Su-Min frowned as she spoke, ”I hope Sister Flames would find it out.”

True-Spear sighed before he spoke, ”I hope too, but for now let us move forward.”

It had been a few minutes since they had entered a new ruined building that looked promising when all of sudden a scream from Su-Min drew everyone's attention and what followed made speechless.

Meanwhile back with the duo, they simply sat quietly basking in each other's presence though Frost Flames preferred it this way but for the last few days it seemed that Ryuu had been distracted his usual cheerfulness was missing and that alarmed her greatly and as such she could not help but ask out loud, ”Ryuu are you alright? Since the day we have arrived here you have been acting a bit strange.”

Ryuu gave a weak smile towards Frost Flames as he spoke, ”I am fine.”

Only to receive a glare in return as Frost Flames spoke, ”You are far from fine, always distracted, irritated not to mention you look incredible tired, that means something is wrong with you please tell me what it is Ryuu?”

Seeing the look that was mixed with concern and sadness tore his heart but how would he say that since the moment he had stepped on the broken pieces of the planet he was hearing noises from giggling of children, to someone giving lecture, he was hearing voices, voices that he was unable to recognize, yet those voices felt incredibly familiar, voices which only he could hear and that was driving him insane.

Before he could speak True-Spear approached them with his posture reflecting utmost urgency as such Frost Flames could not help but ask out loud, ”Brother is something the matter.”

True-Spear decided not to speak with Frost Flames as he immediately spoke, ”Both of you come with me now and make sure to be discreet.”

Frost Flames and Ryuu both looked at each other as Ryuu spoke, ”Is there…”

”I do not have time to waste speaking we have to move fast before others find about it, now come quick.”

Frost Flames looked towards Ryuu who simply shrugged, the duo were led towards one of the floating island that seemed to be a bit not only isolated but even more hazardous to approach it, the du never had felt so grateful about the fact that they could fly.

As they neared the floating island Ryuu spotted what seemed to be a statue of a peac.o.c.k that seemed to be broken near its tail, it might have been extremely pretty on its hay day but now it looked extremely worn out.

”Ryuu! Stop gawking at the rubble this way quick.”

His attention was drawn away from the peac.o.c.k by True-Spear's shout as he tore his eyes off the peac.o.c.k quickly as he followed after True-Spear with a slight grimace on his face.

True-Spear led them to a completely destroyed room as they entered they were greeted by the rest of the group consisting of Zywia, Frozen Ocean, Amnon, Daniella and Su-Min, they all sat there with serious look on their faces.

Ryuu flashed them a small smile while Frost Flames gave them a small bow as she spoke, ”Is something wrong you all seemed a bit tensed.”

Zywia narrowed her eyes as she spoke, ”Something happened and we decided to involve you two.”

”What is it sister Zywia? From the looks on all of your faces the situation feels grim.”

”It is better if we show you, especially you Ryuu.”

Ryuu looked towards Frost Flames who had stood up from her sitting position, and as did others following her example before she indicated Ryuu towards a certain direction and as he looked at the object in question he could not help but feel his heart stop for a moment.
