Chapter 6 - Passing Over

Cloudhawk could hear a lol e from behind him This caused his heart to sink even further There was a scavenger below the dais, and his hideous, tuer was gnashi+ng its jagged black teeth as it glared viciously at him

There was actually a sweeper here!

This sweeper was fairly shly the saone off to fight theonly the smallest one behind The junior sweeper picked up yet another javelin and was just about to throw it Although the sweeper was young, he was able to throw javelins with enough speed and power to pierce a man's body

Cloudhawk furiously leapt down fro hiround Cloudhawk used the sharp ht hand to furiously stab at the sweeper, but the sweeper's body was sih Cloudhawk's own hand was sliced open by the metal shard, but he wasn't able to pierce the sweeper's body

Although the young sweeper was inexperienced, his body was still far tougher than Cloudhawk's A single kick fros sent Cloudhawk into the air, and he landed on the ground over afrom Cloudhawk's nose and mouth, and the world before his eyes had just turned blurrey He randomly tossed out the metal shard as hard as he could

Crack!

The sharpsweeper, but it wasn't able to causesweeper rose to his feet, then used his javelin to stab at the huround

Cloudhawk's anier He ale the attack, and the javelin split apart as it stabbed into the ground

Although this sweeper was very young, he was every bit as strong as a nor expected this scavenger to be so agile He tossed away the shattered bits of javelin-wood in his hands, then turned and grabbed a long knife from one of the cabinets behind him

Cloudhawk picked up the broken half of the javelin Just as the sweeper was turning towards towards hiy to jump to his feet, then delivered a two-handed bloith the javelin as he drove it towards the sweeper's head

This strike used up aly

Crunch! The tip of the broken javelin was driven straight through the sweeper's left eye, going in by quite a few inches A large amount of black blood and other viscous liquids spurted out from the injury

The sweeper let out an agonized,knife in his hands As Cloudhawk dodged backwards, his shoulder was cut by one of the chops, resulting in a section of his flesh being sheared off

Agonizing pain!

Cloudhawk retreated back to the dais The young sweeper wildly flailed about for a few ony and confusion in his re eye

Cloudhawk panted heavily, completely exhausted and feeble He stared silently at the corpse of the young sweeper for quite a fewsweeper hadn't suffered a e as Cloudhawk hi ould've had parents, brothers, family…

A pained s his weary body up the steps of the dais He stretched out his blood-soaked right hand, then clenched it around the levitating jewel

Boom!

The entire world seemed to shake A swirl of dust appeared above the dais, and both Cloudhawk and the strange jewel sih they had evaporated into thin air, disappearing from the world!

In the instant that Cloudhawk's hand closed around the jewel, a streaers It was as though he wasn't holding a stone in his hands; rather, he was holding a y surged through his hands and into the rest of his body, seele one of his cells

The incredibly powerful surge of energy covered the entire area, causing space itself to twist and distort

Cloudhawk had never seen such a horrifying sight before Everything before hih the world around hi a stick to kick up a whirlpool The invisible energy furiously tore at every cell in his body, ripping every single one into a million little pieces

The entire world had disappeared Cloudhawk had been brought into a new, strange world with no light, no dark, no y It was a world filled with ht and sos was thrue sound could be heard

It was like hundreds ofplayed at the sa an entire world unto the part of it Cloudhaas able to ht, and stared in absolute terror at the bizarre world around him He wasn't certain if he was alive or not

The countless strings began to join together, forht which then blended and twisted together to forhtless' this entire ti him doards

Bang! Cloudhawk landed against an extreh and coarse stone floor

Cloudhawk pressed his hands against the stone floor, wanting to throw up Unfortunately, there was nothing in his stoht now, and his ears were ringing He couldn't even see clearly All of his senses were in a state of complete chaos, and he wasn't even able to tell if the world before him was a real one or a fake one He had never experienced anything like this before

Slowly, his senses began to stabilize As it did, the first feeling he had was… hot! Odd Isn't it night tiht?

It was so hot Where was he?
