Shadow Kissed pt.2

Part two of Nanali.

---

Live was instantly on guard, he held Nanali a bit tighter and faced the army of Catalis. The Catalis were a species of odd looking creatures. They had big, red, bug eyes that swirled around in their sockets,and wrinkly rubber like grey skin. Their bodies were hunched over, spines poked so hard on the skin of their back it looked as if they were going to burst through. They are small, built for speed and agility, nothing like a different species called the Straners, who were bulky and wide, obviously built for power and strength. All Catalis possessed fire, which was cause for the red-orange tint their eyes always held. They are scavengers and thieves, and they were trying to take Nanali.

They are very easy to defeat,a simple punch will put them out, if not scare them away.

There are to many now. Someones not coming out alive, Live thought, and I'll be slammed to Hades if it's Nanali.

The first Catalis rushed towards Live, but Nyx had already recovered and flicked him away. His impact with the television threw glass all over the front room. The first was always a test of strength, a sacrifice. They would be more cautious now.

"No," Live growled as the Catalis advanced slowly on them," Get Nanali to a safe place!" Another Catalis jumped forward. Live side stepped, allowing Nyx to grab the Catalis by the throat and slam him down, green-blue blood spilled over the carpet. Live threw a ice shield in front of the door. The Catalis erupted, clawing at it. Their claws scraped against the ice, sending horrid screeches into the room. Nanali screamed and covered her ears, tears ran down her no longer smiling face.

"Damn, Nyx, get her out!"

"And leave you alone? No way!" A fist broke through the ice.

"She is more important," he growled. Another fist broke through," Now go!" Ice started falling to the ground as a Catalis tried to wedge its way through.

"Live," Nyx whispered, searching Live's eyes,"You'll die." Live shoved Nanali into Nyx's arms.

"I know."

The ice wall fell to the ground and Catalis stormed through. Nyx teleported away, but not before she could see Live being buried under a sea of red eyes and grey skin.

Nyx crashed into the ground, exhausted from running so far and so long. The gravity on earth was much more than that on the planet of the gods. Shielding a now asleep Nanali, she dropped down against a tree.

"Sloppy landing," Nyx shook her head," This child can sleep through anything," She concealed her daughter in a ball of dark matter, "So beautiful," she whispered," but I must help Live. I can't..." she shook her head," I can't leave him to die. You have been shadow kissed, that means you're protected by the darkness. You should be fine while I'm gone, I won't be away long," she blew a kiss," I'll be back soon. Promise."

A day passed, then a week. Weeks turned into months, and months into years. Nyx and Live died in the war between them and the army of Catalis. There were simply to many of them, and fueled on their anger for losing Nanali, they were double the threat. Right before they died they transferred their powers, meaning they gave away their powers to Nanali, but along with their powers came their memories. So she wont forget, they had thought, Only so she won't forget us.

Well, that's all for now! I really hope you liked it. Please tell me how I can make this better. If you liked it, tell me why so I can try to do those things over again. If you didn't like it tell me why so I can try to fix that. Thank you for you're time. Bye-bye!
