Back at the hotel Shuichi and Eiri had just woken up from well, about six hours of sleeping. They looked around the inn and noticed that none of their friends were anywhere in sight. They searched the whole inn and then went out to the town to find them but they were nowhere to be found.
"Found them yet?" Eiri asked.
"No." Shuichi said. "I can't believe that they would just disappear."
But prior to their search, EIri saw that Suguru had packed all of his things and left, but hiro hand K never took anything, plus Hiro left his wand. He never ever left his wand.
"I don't think they just disappeared." Eiri concluded
"What do you mean?" the warrior asked.
"I think they may have been kidnapped." .the prince said.
Shuichi just couldn't believe that, there was no way that his friends could have allowed themselves to be captured so easily. Especially K, after all, K was a former Shinobi. How could he be captured? They both agreed that Suguru left the group considering everything he owned was gone but everything Hiro and K had was still at the hotel. The samurai had a different theory.
"I'm thinking that Hiro went to convince Suguru not to leave. And maybe K went with him for back up."
But the prince wasn't buying for a minute, sure his protector's first theory may have been right but the part about K just didn't add up for him. That man was a rogue Ninja after all. Who knows, he could have set a trap for their friend.
"If K has anything to do with this then I know He was kidnapped."Eiri thought. He never did trust the former soldier. And there were even locals saying that he was a traitor to Eternias. It wouldn't be surprising if he did betray them. But somehow Shuichi didn't believe that K was at fault. And if he was it wasn't intentional.
"Even if they did end up in an ambush, I don't think K is smart enough to plan one that elaborate."
"Don't tell me you actually trust that traitor!" the blond snapped.
"I never said that I trusted him, I just don't think that he would do anything like that." Shuichi said. But then Eiri realized that there was something very wrong with his lover. Sure they often got into their lover's quarrels but something about the rookie's eyes was very different. Sure they were still purple but they glow an ominous blue color when he was defending K. Being the genius at magic he was, he knew that the pink haired boy's eyes never glowed blue.
"You're not Shuichi, are you?" he concluded. When he saw the other Shuichi coming out of a nearby house, which was when he knew that one of them was definitely an imposter. When he saw the "Shuichi" next to him levitating, it spoke for itself. The teen had no experience with magic what so ever.
"It looks you won't be finding your friends anytime soon." The imposter said. Then he started to make what appeared to be a storm of fire that rained all over the small town. The fire rained down so hard that it began to burn all over the city. Luckily, the duo managed to escape from the wrath of the imposter and went into the only place that wasn't burned to a crisp. Unbeknownst to them, it was the same shaman hut that K and Hiro were turned into stone. They went into the hut and saw what appeared to be two familiar looking statues. At first they thought it was just decorations but when they saw the faces, that was when they knew that Hiro and K were somehow turned to stone and that it was very possible that the Shuichi imposter had something to do with it. It didn't take long for the pink haired teen to get extremely emotional.
"How…can they do this…?" Shuichi said. He couldn't help but start to tear up and start to reach for the statue. He wasn't an expert on magic, but he did know that once someone was turned into statue, there were no more signs of life. In other words, many people who get turned to stone died.
"I just…can't believe it. Who would do something like this?" Shuichi said still in shock. But he in a way knew that it could have been the imposter who turned them into their current form. The way everything was going outside of the hut, that was a possibility. Then Eiri felt a strong aura surrounding them coming from Hiro's stone body. Sure in some cases being turned into a statue meant that it was a done deal but something was different somehow.
"I don't think that they're dead, at least not yet." Eiri said. "I still feel their spirits in here, so somehow they're still alive. Maybe we can turn them back to normal."
"and How are we supposed to do that?" Shucihi asked. "we don't know magic, and the only person who does is a rock!"
"I know someone who can help." He said.
THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE HUT
Suguru was meditatiing in hopes of keeping his psychic energy in tact. The unique thing about his powers were that they were also drawn from emotion. Sometimes the angrier or more frightened he got, the stronger his powers became. That was why he had to meditate every day to keep control of it all. Also, the Visions would often play a role in his control. He could control his telepathy but not his visions. He knew that the powers that be wouldn't let him take a vacation from his visions any time soon. In fact he was now having more than one vision a day. And during his meditation, he had yet another one.
vision
Hiro, K Shuichi and Eiri have all been turned into stone. A shaman has Impersonated Shuichi and was attacking the village and ready to storm the casltle with an army of demons.
end vision.
"Oh, No, " He shouted. Suguru dropped everything he was doing and rushed upstairs and tried to stop the shaman but he was no where to be found. Instead he found his friends turned to stone. His worst nightmare came true and there was no way to end it. but then he noticed something else, their eyes were blinking. And statues don't blink, that's right all of them were human covered in gray paint. Even Hiro and K. Relieved but angry he struck Hiro and Shuichi.
"What the hell were you guys thinking?" he shouted. "Don't you know how worried I was about you guys?" then he and Hiro got into an embrace. But as they hugged. Suguru's eyes glowed an amber red and he appeared to be holding a machete to his lover's back. K saw this and quickly pulled Hiro away from the psychic. It appeared that his transformation had just begun But it looked like he got it back under control. he told the others about the shaman attack only to find out that it was already taken care of.
days passed and they were Nearly at the castle but something wasn't sitting right with Suguru and it wasn't just his powers this time. Over the days he noticed that K had been getting close to Hiro and he wasn't happy about it. Like Eiri he never trusted K, but he now had a new reason why.
