Soul Takers 2.0

(Nope sorry if I didn't make that clear.)

The man grunted. "Stay away demons." The man panted.

"You are hurt sir let me help you." Rylee said softly.

"Go away. We don't need your help." He snapped.

"Wait? We?" Ry said.

Kro immediately looked around for anyone else in the area

"Yes." A second voice very similar to the man who kneeled down on the ground. A second man who looked identical came out of the cave behind the man. He however wasn't wounded. On half of his body looked pale gray, almost as if dead.

"Who are you two?" Kro asked, watching them cautiously

"I am Apollo and this is my brother Artemis. " The half dead man said. "You," He said glancing to Rylee. "You said you can heal?" He asked.

"Yes. So can my friend here." Ry said jestering to Kro.

"Come." Apollo barked. He lifted his brother up and onto his shoulders and turned into the cave.

"Oh, I can only heal plants." Kro said, then followed after the two and Rylee into the cave.

"I'm sure you can try to heal a human." Ry chuckled.

As the group got deeper into the tunnel they smell more blood. A blood curdling scream echoed around. "Damn it! Jinx must be getting worse." Apollo hissed as he broke into a run.

"I don't have live creature healing anywhere in my powers or genetics. Remember I'm not a demon like you." Kro replied

"Yes, I know." He said as he ran off after Apollo.

Kro followed him, focusing her powers just so her eyes could glow a bit and she could see better in the gloom.

They came to a lit part of the room and man pressed his hands into the massive wounds of a dragon looking creature. The dragon roared. Tears poured down the beast's face.

Kro saw the dragon and stopped dead, staring at it with eyes wide. She took a few steps back and her eyes stopped glowing.

"Apollo, Jinx is getting worse." The man said.

She watched the dragon anxiously, as if expecting Jinx to get up and start breathing fire at her at any moment.

"relax child, Jinx is not a normal dragon. He's my other brother." Apollo said. "He is not made for the air but for the ground."

Rylee walked to Jinx. "may I see?" He asked the pale man kneeling on the ground. He nodded.

"Does he breathe fire or like to crush people...?" Kro asked nervously.

"No. He cannot breath fire, he uses his horns to bore through rocks. And Jinx is a kind man." Apollo said. Rylee pressed his hands to the dragon's wounds. He concentrated.

"Okay." Kro relaxed a little more, forgetting the bad memories she'd had with dragons for a moment.

Jinx roared in pain and kicked. His paw hit Rylee in the chest and sent him flying.

Kro dodged as not to be hit by Ry then went over to him. "You okay?" She asked

"Yeah." he said. He walked forward and went back to Jinx's wound . No matter how much he concentrated the wounds wouldn't heal.

"What gave him those wounds?" Kro asked

"An Anti Shadow a man named doom." Apollo said.

"And I." Artie said.

"Scary name, must be a pretty evil dude." Kro said

"Evil makes him sound like a newborn kitten when this thing is actually a tiger." Artie said.

"I'm sorry I cannot get these wounds to heal." Ry said.

"I was fearful of that." Apollo said.
