Chapter 5

“Hold up!” calls Rowen, calling attention to himself.

Stopping, the four Ronins and Cale turn back to face the Sky Warrior.

“What, Rowen?” demands Kento, bouncing on his feet.

“Cale, Sage, you two, of all people, should know why the caves may not be the answer,” says Rowen cryptically.

“What are you referring to, Ronin?” asks Cale, who is also impatient to leave.

“Sage,” says Rowen, ignoring the Warlord and turning to look at his best friend. “Remember, sleeping in the caves at the Canasota Gulch Pinnacles weren't the last time you were there.”

“Yes, I returned there after the dreams,” replies Sage, nodding his head.

“Yes, I also remember,” says the Dark Warlord in agreement. “But what has that time got to do with Sekhmet.”

“Hello? What's going on?” demands Kento, glancing between his two friends and the Warlord.

“I think I understand,” replies Cye, nodding his head. Glancing at Sage, Cye cocks his head. “Didn't you guys kinda destroy the cave when you fought that time?”

Stopping to reflect, both the Warriors of Light and Dark think over those moments during that battle.

“I remember, I used my Thunder Bolt Cut,” says Sage, talking through what had happened.

“But you didn't destroy the whole cave,” says Cale, glancing at the blonde warrior. “I'm not saying you didn't do a lot of damage, but there was some cave left after our fight.”

“Then we're back where we started,” says Ryo, glancing toward the door. “Let's go.”

“About fucking time,” replies Kento heading for the door.

In the Canasota Gulch Pinnacle caves, Satsuki shivers in the cold. Sekhmet had finally left her alone for a little while.

I don't know how much longer I can take this,thinks Satsuki, while rubbing her arms.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Satsuki waits for the Warlord to appear. Stepping into the enclosure, the Warlord of Venom stares at his prisoner.

“When do you think your rescue will show?” sneers Sekhmet.

“You should be worried,” says Satsuki, trying to build her backbone back up.

“Oh?” asks Sekhmet, striding over to the young woman.

Taking her chin in his armored hand, he jerks her face to look up at him.

“And what do I have to fear from them?” asks Sekhmet.

“Death,” replies Satsuki, glaring at the Warlord.

Laughing, Sekhmet pushes Satsuki away from him and strides out of the cave.
