helped me stand, taking no consideration of the condition of my arms. He then raced off into the forest with Aquas. I was left standing there, unsure of what to do. With a huge sigh, I sprinted off in Kris's direction, hoping to catch up with him.

Chapter 6: The Chase
    It was amazing how fast Kris was. I only took five seconds to decide to follow him, and already he left no trail for me to track. If it was going to be difficult for me, it would also be difficult for the guy coming after us. The only advantage was that the moths no longer darkened the forest, so I could actually see where I was going without having to spot the yellow flowers. I continued to walk in a straight path when a hand grabbed me by the collar of my T-shirt and pulled me into the shade of a tree. I struggled to break free of the grip until I faced my captor, Kris. Before I could ask why he grabbed me, he put a finger to his lips to signal me to be quiet. I was about to protest when Aquas let out a quiet growl, shutting me up
    The enemy did move fast, and if I hadn't been pulled off of the trail, I certainly would have been busted. I need to start acting smarter, I thought. It would certainly help me live longer. Kris then jumped up into the branches of the tree. I swear to god, that man was athletic beyond belief, and his clothes, although baggy, did not appear to hinder any of his movements. I was jealous, I admit, that he was so muscular. He then whispered a phrase, and Aquas, who was right beside me, disappeared again. This time, unlike when I had been weakened to the point of blindness, I got to watch the magic.
    Aquas let out a howl, and she transformed into the gigantic sword Kris had wielded before. Kris outstretched his hand once she finished the transformation and caught her. Well, I finally understood what he meant by Kreysors assisting the Kreydurs in battle. Judging by what I just saw, each Kreysor could transform into a giant sword whenever you said the magic words. What they were was still a mystery, but I had finally figured out how the whole system worked. At least, that's what I thought.
    Kris was perched like a hawk on the branches, not making a sound. There were two words to describe the way he looked: silent assassin. I just stared at him and his giant flaming blue blade, waiting for the guy to come and get killed. I felt like a monster thinking like that, but let's face facts: you screw with this guy, you die. Right before the guy arrived, Kris whispered something, but I couldn't hear what it was.
    I started to shiver, which was definitely odd in this place. I mean, they had two suns! My breath started to show in front of my face. Rain came down, soaking my hair, and when I looked up at the sky, I saw that what used to be a cloudless expanse was now completely covered with dark clouds. I don't know how he did it, but Kris somehow changed the weather and the environment to his advantage. Now that the clouds were covering the sky, no sunlight could get through, leaving the field in total darkness. The enemy couldn't see Kris, but Kris already knew where he was. Now I was completely jealous: not only was this man superior athletically, but he was a genius too.
    Everything was going the way Kris wanted to, and then something happened that I didn't expect: A yellow axe was spinning toward Kris abnormally fast. Kris ducked out of the way, and the axe barely missed him and returned to the warrior like a boomerang. As it was retreating, it barely missed my hiding place. Luckily, I caught a glimpse of the axe.
    It had a brown handle, and the shaft had a golden yellow color. The blade itself was normal, except for the fact that small lightning bolts were pulsing from the blade. There was no way this axe was normal . I realized that my Kreysors-turning-into-giant-swords theory was wrong. What I was looking at was another Kreysor. Judging by the lightning bolts coming off of the axe, I guessed this Kreysor's element was
