The Rasoul Saga: Chapter 17 (Part 1)


Kyle walked back outside, releasing a sigh as he closed the backdoor behind himself; he was hoping that Damien really would go easy on Ruby and I2. Trenton and Mancer both noticed the sigh that Kyle released before they decided to walk over and ask the hedgehog what was wrong.

“Is something the matter?” Mancer asked the yellow hedgehog as he walked up and stopped beside him; Kyle shook his head at what Mancer had said. “Then why the sigh? Also, who was at the door?”

“The sigh was just from a thought, and someone I met before came to see Ruby and I2,” Kyle replied. “It was a male, and he detto that he was going to teach Ruby and I2 how to work better with their powers and such just like how you’re teaching me, Mancer.”

“Ah, I see,” Mancer detto with a nod of his head. He went silent after that, as if he didn’t have anything else to say. Trenton, however moved behind Mancer quietly, before delivering his elbow into the hybrid’s back, almost as if he was trying to tell the hybrid something. Mancer bit his lip just slightly due to the pain, and then his face lit up as if he remembered something. “Oh, that reminds me! Kyle, are te ready to go to the Rasoul Dimension?”

Kyle simply stared at Mancer in shock of what he had just said, not even noticing that Trenton had passed behind the hybrid and elbowed him. “You… You’re going to take me to the Rasoul Dimension that you’ve told me about? te really are? Right now?”

“I was certainly considering it,” Mancer replied with a nod of his head. He glanced back at Trenton, mouthing a silent “thank you” to him for giving him the elbow to the back, as it helped him remember that he was going to take Kyle to the Rasoul Dimension. “You see, Trenton and I were discussing that while te were inside. He thought that perhaps it’s time I take te there at least for a short time.”

“Wait, Trenton wanted te to take me there?” Kyle asked, his excitement fading away slightly. “But… I don’t… know if I…” Trenton just released a sigh at Kyle before turning and starting to walk away. “Wait, where are te going, Trenton?” Kyle asked in confusion.

“I know you’re bothered da the fact that te found out that I’m Devin’s twin brother,” The bat replied, sparking a domanda Kyle, but the domanda was quickly answered as Trenton continued talking, “Before te ask, yes, I know that te found out because Mancer told me while te were busy. He told me that te had told him that te thought Devin and I were twins, and you’re right. I am Devin’s brother, and since it seems to bother te at the moment, I thought I would just go home for a while. Perhaps we can try the training again on a later day.”

While Kyle was worried about the fact that Devin and Trenton were twins, he felt slightly bad da the idea of Trenton leaving because of his feelings. “Trenton… I’m… sorry, I just…”

“No, it’s alright. It’s completely understandable,” Trenton detto with a nod of his head. “If I was in your shoes, I’m sure that I would feel the same way. I’m not blaming te at all. Plus, Mancer is the one who’s doing the più important training. Knowing how to use your Rasoul powers correctly is very important.” Mancer nodded his head to agree with what Trenton had just said. Kyle remained silent for a short while, until he just nodded his head and detto his goodbyes to Trenton, who also told his goodbyes to the hedgehog and Mancer as well before leaving.

“So, what do te think? Are te ready to go to the Rasoul Dimension?” Mancer asked as he turned to face Kyle once Trenton was gone. Kyle’s face started to light up with excitement once more, but it soon began to fade again as a thought came to the hedgehog’s mind.

“Well, I would really like to go, but… what about my parents? They may not like the idea of us going off to some other world o place,” Kyle pointed out. “I seriously doubt that they would like the idea of me going into a completely different world with te and no one else with us.”

“True, they might…” Mancer said, bring his hand up to his chin to think for a moment. “Hm… Would they let te go if te told them that te were going to hang out with a friend?” Kyle looked at Mancer, feeling slightly surprised.

“You want me to lie to my parents?” Kyle asked, sounding surprised as well.

“Well, no. Think about it, do te consider me a friend of yours?” Mancer asked, attempting to make a point. “I mean, if te simply ask your parents to go spend some time with a friend, then te wouldn’t be lying if te do consider me a friend of yours.” Kyle thought about what Mancer had said.

“…Well, I don’t know that much about you, but te are helping me…” Kyle said. “I don’t know if I would call te a friend, but then… maybe I would… I don’t know. All I know is that you’re really mysterious, so it makes it really hard for me to know anything about you…”

“Yes, I understand that…” Mancer said. “But, at lot of the reason why I haven’t told te much of anything is due to the fact that quite a bit of it actually ties in with your training,” He added. “Now, will te be okay with calling me a friend? Will that make te feel like you’re not lying to your parents? If it makes te feel any better, we won’t be there for very long.”

“…Well, I guess I can call te my friend… especially if te say that we won’t stay there for long,” Kyle said. “I really am excited to finally get to see the Rasoul Dimension, though.” He pulled his phone out of his pocket, preparing to call his parents and ask for their permission to go somewhere. He had to wait for a moment for his parents to pick up the phone, and then he asked if it was okay for him to go over to a friend’s place at least for a short while. His parents stayed quiet for a short time over the phone, as if thinking, until they finally answered, saying that since they were going to be gone for a while longer, that it would be okay for him to leave at least for a short while, but they expected him to be back in an hour, though they also detto that they would like for him to be home earlier than that if it was possible. Kyle agreed to their terms and requirements for him to leave the house, and then told them goodbye before hanging up the phone.

“So, they detto it was alright,” Mancer noted, having listened to Kyle’s conversation with his parents due to the fact that the hedgehog was standing right there successivo to him. “Also, I was able to hear that they want te to be back in an ora o so?”

“Yeah, they detto that they would like for me to be back before then if it’s at all possible, but they really want me back in an hour,” Kyle replied, turning to face Mancer as he put his phone away in his pocket. “Anyway, how are we going to get to the Rasoul Dimension? Do te know how to get there?”

“I can open a portal,” Mancer simply replied as he began forming thin amounts of Rasoul energy around his arms and hands. Kyle looked at his black and red hybrid teacher in surprise.

“Wait, now te can make portals?” Kyle asked in shock, watching as Mancer began forming a sphere of Rasoul energy in the air, which began stretching out into the shape of a round portal.

“Just to the Rasoul Dimension,” Mancer informed as he continued stretching the energy out into a portal. “I’ve been able to make this years before I ever even met you. I can make a portal that links with the Rasoul Dimension, but I can’t make a portal that goes to anywhere else on my own.”

“Wait, if te can’t make a portal that goes anywhere else, how am I going to be able to get back here? Will te not be able to bring me back to my world and my home…?” Kyle asked, his ears drooping down slightly. “If that’s the case, then I’m sorry, but I don’t want to go to the Rasoul Dimension with you.”

“No, I can bring te back easily,” Mancer said. “I can’t make a portal myself, but, there is a place in the Rasoul Dimension allows for portals to just about anywhere to be made, which would easily allow us to bring te back to your home world, here.” Kyle started to domanda più about what Mancer had just said, but the hybrid simply raised his finger up to silence the hedgehog. “Do te want to go to the Rasoul Dimension o not? A simple nod will do.” Kyle gave a small nod of his head to what Mancer said.

Mancer nodded his head back to Kyle as he opened up the portal the rest of the way, stepping to the side to allow Kyle to walk through. “After you.” The hedgehog nodded his head before he stepped into the portal, excited for what he was about to see. Mancer stepped in the portal behind Kyle, getting transported along with Kyle to the Rasoul Dimension world.

Upon appearing in the Rasoul Dimension, Kyle looked around in curiosity, curious as to what he would see; he was slightly surprised to see that everything around him look like an ordinary city, except for the fact that the sky was slightly darker color than the normal sky that he was used to seeing back in his own world. Kyle looked around in amazement, noting how everything seemed so similar to his normal world; he also took notice of the very many people who were just walking up and down the streets, enjoying their normal days and lives; Kyle also noticed that these people seemed to look exactly like Mobians.

“Do Mobians live here, Mancer? Do te know?” Kyle asked the black and red hybrid as he looked around in amazement, looking at all of the scenery and the different people who were making their way around the area. Some of the people stopped for a moment to wave and smile at Kyle and Mancer before continuing on with what they were doing. Kyle waved back at the ones that waved, putting a smile on his face at the friendly welcome.

“Look a bit closer at them,” Mancer said, pointing to some of the people who were walking about, enjoying their days. “Don’t worry, they won’t mind a tad bit of staring, unless te just stare and do nothing else. They won’t mind te taking a small glance at them, at least I don’t.”

Kyle looked a bit closer at the people who were walking about, attempting to see if there was a difference o something that Mancer wanted him to see. Upon enough looking, Kyle was able to tell that the “Mobians” have snake-like slits in their eyes, which were glowing with whatever color that their eyes were. The backgrounds of their eyes were also not white; they were a very faint color to match what color the regular pupil was. He also managed to notice that when the people opened their mouths to talk to each other, they had very large fangs that almost reminded him of fangs that he had seen on an actual snake animal before. Kyle stared in slight amazement, now realizing that these creatures either weren’t Mobians at all, o they were some kind of very strange breed of Mobian.

“These people are called Nighless,” Mancer informed, putting just a small smile on his face. “Look even closer. Do te see the ones who have glowing pupils and larger fangs? Those are called Nighless Evolved, while the others with non-glowing pupils and smaller fangs are known as Basic Nighless. Basic Nighless have basic Rasoul powers and Rasoul manipulation, which makes them pretty much the weakest out of Nighless, but they’re still quite powerful when well trained. From what I can gather, Kyle, te seem to mostra Rasoul powers that would be equivalent to a Basic Nighless.”

“I see,” Kyle said, taking in all of the brand new knowledge with a small smile on his face. “If that’s what Basic Nighless can do, then what can the Nighless Evolved people do?”

“Nighless Evolved are somewhat similar to Basic Nighless, but slightly different. Nighless Evolved have much più advanced Rasoul powers and Rasoul manipulation compared to the Basic Nighless and the Evolved have the ability to turn into a special form called the Nighless Origin Form for a short amount of time,” Mancer explained, watching as Kyle’s face lit up with curiosity.

“Nighless Origin Form?” Kyle questioned. “What’s that?”

“Think of yourself, alright?” Mancer said, watching as Kyle gave a nod of his head. “Picture yourself still having your waist up, arms, and head on your body. Now, from the waist down, picture a giant, long snake body o tail, whichever one te would like to call it. That is the Nighless Origin Form.” Kyle’s eyes widened in shock as he tried to picture what that Nighless Origin Form would look like in his head.

“Why is it called the ‘Origin Form’?” Kyle asked, still feeling curiosity running through him due to all of the new things that he was getting to learn from Mancer.

“Now that I’m not honestly sure of,” Mancer said. “The Nighless groups have been around for quite some time, so I’ve sure they would have been named forever ago. But, I thought I remember Leggere somewhere that the Nighless Origin Form was named after the very first Nighless people to ever be discovered. Apparently that Nighless looked just like the Origin Form, and then the rest of the Nighless came from that as they gained different powers and mixed with other species. I believe Basic Nighless and Nighless Evolved were originally made through the Origin Form Nighless having hybrid children with other species such as Mobians; I believe from there, the children were born with Rasoul powers, snake eyes, and snake fangs, but with legs instead of tails. However, some Nighless held onto their Origin Form heritage, which is what allows the Evolved to change temporary form into that.” Kyle remained silent, nodding his head as he took in all of the information that he was being told; he was quite enjoying learning all of this information about the Rasoul Dimension’s citizens and native species.

“Anyway, that would conclude the history lesson for right now,” Mancer detto as he put his hands down in his pockets and started walking down the sidewalk; Kyle quickly followed after Mancer. “I’m going to mostra te around to a few places in particular; a few places that are pretty iconic here and a few places where I plan to take te later on, such as the training grounds for Nighless and Rasoul users. That training grounds spot has quite a few things that will help me teach te your Rasoul powers better than me trying to teach te alone.”

“Wow, te really know your way around this place, don’t you, Mancer?” Kyle said. “Do te come here really often o something?”

“Actually, I live here,” Mancer replied with a small smirk, watching as Kyle’s face lit up once più with shock and surprise. “I live here in this town. We’re in the Rasoulin castello Town, in the country of Anulira, in the world of the Rasoul Dimension.”

“You really live here? Where’s your house at?”

“I just told you, it’s here in this town. Perhaps I can mostra it to te if we have enough time left,” Mancer said. “Remember that your parents wanted te home in an hour, so I would like to get this touring done as soon as possible so we don’t go over your time limit.” Kyle nodded his head in agreement to say okay. “Now, first I think I’ll take te to the training grounds and mostra te around, if that’s alright with you.”

“It’s fine with me,” Kyle informed as he walked after Mancer, following the hybrid down the sidewalks of the city. He looked over at Mancer, attempting to study his face a bit più closely. “Hey, Mancer?”

“Yes?”

“If te really do live here, does that mean that you’re just a plain Mobian o hybrid? o does that mean that you’re one of the Nighless creatures here as well?” Kyle asked, feeling a bit curious as he continued to try to see Mancer’s face, trying to see if he had the same features as the Nighless. Mancer simply just nodded his head, which left Kyle confused as he didn’t know which one that Mancer had just detto yes to.

“Nighless,” Mancer replied, noticing Kyle’s confusion to his nod. “Based on my Rasoul powers, o based on my normal Rasoul powers, I would be the equivalent to a Nighless Evolved.” Kyle nodded his head, before pausing in confusion once più at what Mancer had said.

“Wait, normal Rasoul powers? What do te mean da that? Does that mean that te have different Rasoul powers as well?” Kyle asked, which caused Mancer to pause in silence.

“…Hm… I suppose that maybe… te could say that,” Mancer detto quietly, chewing on the corner of his lip slightly before he continued walking. “Anyway, we don’t have time to stand around and talk if te want to see what I want te to see.” Kyle really wanted to domanda what Mancer had just said, but he decided that perhaps it would be best to wait so they didn’t stop walking and get into a big conversation. It didn’t take very long at all for Mancer to lead Kyle to a very large field, which had a large building in the middle of it. The red and black NIGHLESS led Kyle to the building, before taking a key out of his pocket and using the key to unlock the door of the building.

“So,” Mancer began as he opened the door for Kyle, following the hedgehog inside the building and then closing the door behind them. “This is the training building for the Nighless Guard and the Nighless Royal Guard, but a lot of people also get permission to come here and use it just to learn how to be better with physical moves and their powers.”

“So te have a key here because te come here often to train yourself?” Kyle asked, sounding a bit curious. Mancer paused for a moment, before nodding his head to what Kyle had said. The hedgehog then thought of something else to ask. “And, what are the Nighless Guard and the Nighless Royal Guard? Do te know what they are, Mancer?”

“Yes, I do come here often. That’s why I have a key,” Mancer replied, turning his head to look at Kyle. “Now, the Nighless Guard are basically the same thing as the police officers from your world. They’re called the Nighless Guard, but they’re basically just your average, everyday police force, just like plain officers in your world.”

“I see. What are the Nighless Royal Guards? Are they like police, too?”

“Do te have a special forces team in your world? That’s basically what the Royal Guards are like. They do some of the harder, più serious jobs, and they’re also tasked with guarding the Rasoulin castello and Rasoulin family, o so that’s what I’ve heard,” Mancer said. Kyle nodded his head.

“Alright then. Cool!” Kyle said, enjoying all of the new knowledge that he was learning; perhaps he would finally start getting to learning più about Mancer and where the mysterious red and black Nighless had come from. “So, are we going to train now o do più touring?” He asked, looking out at the different training equipment and items that were available for training and working with Rasoul powers. He still remembered that they were on a time crunch, so he was asking what Mancer wanted to use the rest of their time in this Rasoul Dimension trip for.

“We’re going to continue on the tour, o at least that’s what I planned,” Mancer replied as he moved back towards the door of the building. “Did te get an eyeful of everything? Are te ready to sposta on, o were te wanting to look about some more?”

“I think I saw enough for right now,” Kyle replied, turning to follow Mancer as he opened the door of the building and walked out. He followed Mancer out of the building, turning his head to look at the Nighless. “Where are we going to go now?”

“For now, I was just thinking that I could walk te around town a bit and just mostra te around, since we don’t have much time left,” Mancer replied, walking down the sidewalk once più with Kyle. “I suppose I can also mostra te my house if we have enough time.” He paused for a moment, thinking about what else he could do. “…No, wait, I have another idea.”

“You have another idea? What might that be?” Kyle asked, feeling a bit curious to the idea that Mancer had just thought of.

“Do te want to meet my brothers?” Mancer asked, turning his head to look at Kyle. Kyle’s eyes immediately widened at what Mancer had said, shocked that the Nighless was asking if he wanted to meet his brothers.

“You mean te would actually take me to meet your brothers that te told me about?” Kyle asked, still sounding surprised. Mancer nodded his head to Kyle.

“Yes, I don’t see why not. They live here in the town as well, so I was thinking that perhaps I could at least introduce te to them before we run out of time for this visit,” Mancer said. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, beginning to dial a phone number on it. He then pulled the phone up to his ear, having just called one of his brothers. “Hey, it’s me. Are te and Finale free? I brought a friend of mine to town and I want to introduce him to you. …Alright, so te are free? Alright, good. Can we meet in the park? ...Alright, the park it is, then. I’ll see te there,” Mancer finished his phone call before putting his phone back in his pocket.

“We’re going to meet them in the park?” Kyle asked, a small look of excitement on his face. “…And one of your brothers is named Finale?”

“Yep, that’s his name,” Mancer replied as he started off towards the park, still following the sidewalk; Kyle quickly followed behind Mancer, curious to see what his brothers would be like. “You’re going to get to see two of my three brothers. I thought I told te before that I was born as a quadruplet, so you’re going to get to meet two of my brothers.”

“Well, where’s the third one at? If I’m getting to meet the other two, when do I get to meet the third one?” Kyle asked, following closely behind Mancer. Mancer gave a small shrug of his shoulders.

“I can’t honestly tell te when you’ll be able to meet the third one. The reason he can’t be here to meet te today is because he’s busy at work, and I know this because I spoke with him this morning,” Mancer said. “His… schedule… changes often, so I never really know when he has time to be here.” Kyle nodded his head to say okay, understanding that Mancer’s brother must be busy at his job.

“Anyway, we’ll be to the park very soon,” Mancer said. “It’s only a few più blocks from here, so it won’t take that much time to get there.”

“How much time has gone da already? Do we have enough time to actually get to talk to your brothers, at least for a little bit?”

“The ora that we have isn’t nearly gone yet,” Mancer replied, glancing down at his phone to check the time as he pulled it out of his pocket for a short moment; he then slipped the phone back down into his pocket. He raised his head and looked up, noticing that the park was beginning to come into view slowly as they continued down the sidewalk. “And there’s the park. My brothers may o may not be here right now. They’re coming, o they detto they were coming, but they may not be here yet.”

“So I’m assuming we’ll just sit on a bench o something like that and wait for them?” Kyle asked, turning his head to look at Mancer, who simply nodded his head to what the hedgehog had asked.

“Either that o perhaps I can tell te a bit più about the different Nighless species,” Mancer detto as he walked into the park area, followed da Kyle. “There’s più Nighless species other than just the Basic Nighless and the Nighless Evolved.”

“Really? What other kinds are there?” Kyle asked out of curiosity, following Mancer over to a nearby picnic table. He sat down across from his Nighless teacher, curious as to how many kinds of Nighless that there were.

Mancer looked about the area as he sat down across from Kyle, attempting to see if he saw his brothers anywhere. He didn’t see them, so he just assumed that they hadn’t arrived yet and turned his attention back to Kyle. “There’s the Basic Nighless, the Nighless Evolved, the Rasoulin Fog Creatures, the Nega Nighless, the Rasoulin Seekers, the Origin Nighless, and on superiore, in alto of all of that, te have the Rasoul Embodiments.”

“So the Rasoul Embodiments are above everyone?” Kyle asked, looking around at everyone who passed by, curious as to when Mancer’s brothers would approach; he was curious to know what they would look like, what they would act like, and what they would be like. He continued looking around, before noticing a Nighless person walking da who had a thin layer of what looked like swirling grey fog around their body; Kyle also noticed that this person seemed to be slightly transparent, and he was able to notice that there was thick, swirling grey fog moving about inside their body. Kyle just stared in amazement and shock, which caused Mancer to notice that the hedgehog’s attention had went elsewhere. The black and red Nighless leaned over the picnic table, and grab ahold of Kyle’s chin before turning his head back to look at him.

“…Who was that person…? Was that another kind of Nighless?” Kyle asked, feeling a bit shocked at what he had just seen.

“First of all, it’s rude to stare like that at people. secondo of all, I’ll attempt to answer all of those three questions,” Mancer detto as he leaned back into his seat. “Yes, the Rasoul Embodiments have the most advanced, most powerful Rasoul out of all of the Nighless, o at least out of all of the known Nighless. Now, that person was what is called a Rasoulin Fog Creature; that grey fog around them is called Rasoulin Fog. The Fog was named after the ancestors of the Rasoulin family, who were the first ones to ever discover it,” He explained, before crossing his arms.

Kyle nodded his head slowly to the info that he had just been told. “By the way, how do te know so much about the Rasoul Embodiments…? I mean, are they that well known? I would imagine that they are well known, but is that much information about them publicly known?” Mancer himself appeared to tense up into an almost literally Frozen stiff position after Kyle detto what he said, which caused some confusion to the yellow hedgehog. “Are te okay, Mancer?”

Mancer remained silent, still staying his rather stiff position as if something that Kyle had detto had surprised him o made him feel a bit nervous even. He slowly moved his head up slightly, looking over Kyle’s shoulder, and moved his hand to point. “…My brothers are here now. They’re coming over right now.” Kyle turned his head to see if Mancer was right, and he saw two people coming right towards them, waving to Mancer, who gave a very small wave back to them.

The brothers both came over to Mancer and Kyle, now being close enough so Kyle could see details about them; the first brother was quite tall, and about medium-sized in his body size. He had wild blue hair, which looked like it wasn’t brushed well; either that o hair gel had been used to make it look so wild. He wore a manica lunga blue shirt, and slightly baggy grey jeans, along with blue and white sneakers; he also wore white gloves on his hands. He had a light black pelliccia color, though his hair was a tuft of blue on superiore, in alto of his head and his tail was long and blue; it looked much like Mancer’s tail. He had blue snake pupils that glowed, which, if Kyle remembered correctly, would make him a Nighless Evolved.

The other brother was quite a bit shorter than the first brother, and the secondo one also appeared to be somewhat chubby in the torso area. He had light silver-white pelliccia and hair. He wore a thin, pullover silver hoodie, and light grey jeans; he also wore silver and light golden yellow sneakers and dark grey mittens on his hands; the wind was a bit chilly, so it wasn’t strange that both brothers were dressed in mittens and clothes like that. He had two thick bangs on the front of his head, which one of them curved up while the other one curved down downward towards his eyes and face; his hair was also pulled into a ponytail on the back of his head. He had light, golden yellow eyes, which glowed as well.

“So, is this your student that you’ve been wanting us to meet for some time?” The first brother with the blue hair asked Mancer as he looked at Kyle, giving a friendly smile to the hedgehog, who returned the smile.

“Yes, this is Kyle Waktini,” Mancer replied, nodding his head towards Kyle before he turned his attention back to his brothers. “Kyle, this is my older brother Kurayami and my younger brother Finale. We’re still quadruplets, but obviously we’re a few minuti apart in age due to the times that we were born, which makes Kurayami older than me and Finale younger than me. The one with blue hair is Kurayami, while the other one here is Finale.” Kurayami and Finale both gave a nod to Kyle.

“Is E-“ Finale started to speak, until a stern glare from Mancer silenced him until he quickly re-thought over what he was going to say, though Kyle did not notice this glare because he had his eyes fixed on the speaking Finale. “…Er, excuse me. Is Mancer working te to death with all of the training and stuff like that?”

“Well, he hasn’t shoved anything too difficult on me yet, at least,” Kyle replied, curious as to what Finale was going to say before he paused. He decided not to ask, however, due to the fact that he didn’t think Finale would tell him what he was going to say. “Why, is he normally a really tough trainer on people?”

“I can be,” Mancer replied, crossing his arms once again. “Right now I’m attempting to be easy on te and teach te the basics of your Rasoul energy, but, if I have to, I was going to get tougher on te over time to ensure that te learn the skills fully and quickly.”

“…When exactly do te plan to start getting tougher on me…?” Kyle asked, feeling a bit nervous at the thought of what Mancer’s idea of tough training would be. “Also, when do te plan to start doing più against me? Do te expect to do it soon? Um… I ask because I don’t know what you’re going to call the basics of my training before te start to get harder on me.”

“I was at least thinking I could teach te the basic moves of Rasoul, such as helping te master the Rasoul Projectile, teaching te the Rasoul punch, punzone and Rasoul Kick, and a few other things here and there,” Mancer replied. “Also, remember that the Rasoul Blade will also be something that te need to learn over the course of your training.”

“Well, is the Rasoul Blade più of a beginner technique o più of one of the advanced techniques?” Kyle asked, tilting his head to the side slightly; the domanda caused Mancer to pause and think over how to respond for a moment.

“I would say leaning più towards being an advanced move, so I planned on trying to work on te with easier things first before I began to sposta onto the più advanced techniques and moves with you,” Mancer said. “Now, I also think that my brothers could be quite a bit of help in training te and mostrare te different things as well, as they can actually do some things that I can’t do myself, o they can do things that are much easier for them than they are for me.”

“Yeah, we could teach te a few things as well when Mancer’s done with te o when he teaches te your basics of your Rasoul,” Kurayami detto with a nod, taking a sede, sedile at the tavolo due to the fact that he was getting tired of standing up and waiting; Finale also wound up taking a sede, sedile at the tavolo as well when he got tired of standing around.

“Yeah, we could teach you!” Finale detto with a grin on his face. “I can mostra te all kinds of things!” Mancer and Kurayami both nodded their heads at what Finale had said, as if they were agreeing with what he had said.

“What else can te teach me that Mancer can’t mostra me?” Kyle asked, feeling curious as to what they were going to say. All three brothers seemed to think about what Kyle had said, as if thinking over how they were going to respond to the hedgehog’s question.

“Just different things,” Mancer said, replying for Finale and Kurayami before they had a chance to say anything. “For instance, Kurayami is actually much better with Rasoul control and he could teach te a few ways to maybe control your energy in a bit better way, which could help greatly in your power usage.”

“Alright then, what can Finale teach me?” Kyle asked, feeling a bit confused as to why Mancer had replied for his brothers.

“He knows a few different Rasoul abilities than I do,” Mancer replied simply. “Not much else that he can mostra you, though. At least not at this current point in time.”

“At this current point in time? What can he actually teach me? And why can’t he teach me it now o around in this time?” Kyle asked, tilting his head to the side slightly. Mancer just shook his head to Kyle.

“You’ll find out eventually. Like I already said, I’m not even done with your regular Rasoul training yet, so it would be at least a little while until te got to work with Kurayami and Finale, unless te can pick up the skills I’m trying to teach te at exceptionally fast, unusual rates,” Mancer said. Kyle shook his head to what his teacher had said, saying that he couldn’t pick up skills in a fast way.

“So, how long do te guys plan on being here? A few più minutes? A few hours?” Finale asked, tilting his head to the side out of curiosity. Mancer turned his head towards his brother.

“We can’t stay for too much longer,” Mancer said. “Kyle’s parents detto that they didn’t want him to be gone for any longer than an ora if it was possible, and we’ve already been here for a short while, so it won’t be too much longer until we have to leave.”

“Alright then. It was great to meet you!” Finale detto in a happy tone, turning his head to look at Kyle with a smile on his face. “I hope we get to see te again sometime. I Amore meeting new people!” Kyle could only smile at how nice and friendly Finale seemed to be.

“Yeah, it would be nice to meet te again. Perhaps we could talk for a while longer successivo time and actually get to know each other,” Kurayami added, to which Mancer and Finale both agreed with a nod. Kyle also nodded his head to what Kurayami had said.

“Well, I’d really like to see te again sometime. I was actually excited to meet both of you,” Kyle said. “I was excited to meet Mancer’s brothers at some point, and I see that now I’m getting to meet them.”

Mancer looked down at his phone, attempting to check the time and see how much time they had left. “Kyle, it would probably be a good idea for us to be going now. We’re not out of time yet, but we don’t have that much time left. I’m sorry that I didn’t get a chance to mostra te everything.”

“That’s okay, Mancer,” Kyle said. “It’s not upsetting to me o anything like that. I did enjoy getting to see and learn what I did, though,” He added. He thought for a moment, until a domanda came to his mind. “…Uh… te do know how to get me back home, right, Mancer?”

“You’re just going to use the portal stuff, right?” Finale asked as he turned his head to look at Mancer, to which the black and red Nighless nodded his head to what his brother had said.

“What’s the ‘portal stuff’?” Kyle asked, wearing a look of confusion on his face. “Is it that place with the portals that te mentioned before we came here, Mancer?”

“Yes, that’s the place. It’s called the Portal Link. As long as te have a key to there as well, te can use the machines there to generate a portal to just about anywhere. Since te don’t live in some super-secret-shouldn’t-be-known-to-the-world place, I’m più than sure I can easily make a portal to take te back to your home in Freedom City,” Mancer replied. He stood up from the picnic table, turning his head to look at his brothers. “Thank te for taking the time to be here and meet my new student here.”

“You’re welcome, Mancer,” Both of the black and red Nighless’ brothers spoke at the same time before standing up as well. They both gave a wave to Mancer and detto goodbye to both the Nighless and Kyle before turning and walking away until they were out of sight and had left.

“Alright then, so those were my brothers,” Mancer said, turning his head to look at Kyle as he stood up from the tavolo and made his way over to his teacher. “They’re pretty nice, don’t te think? Finale is also a bit goofy when he wants to be.”

“They did seem pretty nice,” Kyle detto as he followed after Mancer once the Nighless began making his way towards the exit of the park. “Do te enjoy having brothers? I know that I really enjoy having my brother and sister. We do all kinds of things together.”

“Well, those two certainly are nice and I do enjoy having them,” Mancer replied, continuing to walk towards the exit of the park with Kyle. “Finale’s goofiness does get on my nerves a bit from time to time, but then other times it cheers me up and makes me happy.” Kyle just smiled lightly at Mancer’s story, turning his head to the side slightly, which caused him to see a person nearby who was walking past on four legs. Kyle began staring once più out of surprise, which caused Mancer to once again notice and reach out to turn Kyle’s head back to normal position.

“Is that another type of Nighless? Is that person who was walking on four legs a Nighless as well? I saw snake eyes and snake fangs on them…” Kyle detto to Mancer, guessing at the fact that the person was a Nighless o at least some type of Nighless. Mancer nodded his head.

“That is what is called a Nega Nighless. They’re something in between Basic Nighless and Nighless Evolved, at least when it comes to Rasoul powers and Rasoul abilities,” Mancer replied. “However, Nega Nighless are usually quite aggressive and violent, especially when angry, which can make them powerful fighters when attacking with physical attacks instead of Rasoul energy. They also have the ability to walk on four legs, o at least they work better on four legs, though they most often walk on two legs like ordinary people.”

“That sounds really interesting,” Kyle detto with a nod of his head. His ears slowly drooped down just slightly, though. “…And it sounds a little bit scary. Are they really that violent? They won’t attack us, will they?”

“No, I seriously doubt they would. Most of them are quite peaceful and don’t get violent unless they’re either in a fight o extremely angry,” Mancer replied. A small smirk grew on the hybrid’s face as he thought over something in his head. “You know, the Nega Nighless actually have their own special origin story, but I’ll simply give te the shorter version. The Nega Nighless originally came from the Basic Nighless and the Nighless Evolved, but they had a twist that is what made them Nega Nighless; Nega Nighless were originally licantropi o other types of were-creatures. They were regular Nighless who became werewolves, thus which is what gave birth to the Nega Nighless species as they continued to live on, get married, and have children.”

Kyle just continued walking with Mancer in shock and complete silence for a few moments, before deciding to speak up again. “They’re werewolves?! Are te serious?!”

“Ha ha, no, not anymore,” Mancer detto with a small chuckle, which helped Kyle calm down just a bit. “The original Nega Nighless were werewolves, but over the thousands of years that they’ve been around, it’s been detto that they’ve Lost the werewolf trait to transform over time. So know they’re just thought of as regular Nighless with some wolf-like traits and a più violent nature due to the fact that they WERE licantropi at some point in history.”

“…So they don’t have any werewolf traits? …Alright then, that calms me down a bit,” Kyle detto as he released a quiet sigh. His ears stood back up to their regular position.

“But, te know… I have heard an old urban legend about the Nega Nighless,” Mancer detto as he turned his head slightly to look at Kyle. Another smirk spread across his face, which put a small bit of unease in the yellow hedgehog. “I’ve heard an urban legend that says that some Nega Nighless managed to hang onto their werewolf traits, and that some of them still turn into vicious creatures during the night…” Kyle just looked at Mancer in shock, feeling shocked and surprised once more; the black and red hybrid just spread a smile over his face. “It’s just an urban legend, Kyle. I’ve never even seen it happen before. I doubt that it’s a true legend o a real thing.”

“…Well, still, that just… That bothers me a bit,” Kyle detto as his ears drooped down; he was bothered quite a bit più than he had said, and the look of stress on his face revealed that he was più stressed than he had let on.

“Kyle, it’s going to be alright,” Mancer said, certainly noticing the stress on Kyle’s face and the hint of stress in his voice. “It’s nothing important, just a small urban legend. It’s most likely not real, just a legend o a myth.”

“Well, it still doesn’t exactly put me at perfect ease…” Kyle replied quietly, still walking alongside Mancer. He looked towards his black and red Nighless teacher. “Now, a question… When in the world will we be where we need to be…? Surely we’re running out of time before I’ll get in trouble with my parents, right…?”

“We have a bit of time, I can assure te that. You’re not going to be late,” Mancer said, walking straight ahead with his eyes fixed on a building in the distance. “Besides, we’re almost here. That building in the distance is the Portal Link.” Kyle looked up towards the building, noticing that the outside of it seemed very large and almost futuristic with the machines and tech that it had on it. The yellow hedgehog stared in surprise and slight amazement, looking at the large building.

“Wow, it looks like a really high tech place,” Kyle said, still observing the building as he followed his Nighless teacher closer. Mancer nodded his head to the yellow hedgehog as he stepped up to the building and took another key from his pocket. The Nighless unlocked the door using the key, pushing the door open as Kyle followed him inside.

Kyle looked around, quickly finding amazement in all of the machines and high tech equipment that was around the room. Mancer closed the door and locked it again, turning back to look at the hedgehog, seeing his look of amazement, and smiled just slightly.

“Quite fancy, isn’t it? The giant machine there in the middle is what generates the portal,” Mancer said, pointing his finger slightly to a very large, towering machine in the middle of the room. Beside the machine, there was a large stage which had a machine set into the floor.

“How does it work?” Kyle asked, still feeling quite amazed at the sight of all of the machines. He looked at the large stage, feeling a bit curious. “Is that where the portal forms?”

Mancer nodded his head as he walked over to the machine in the middle of the room. He reached his hands out, pulling a keyboard out of a small slot on the machine. “Yes, the portals form over the stage, and then te can simply walk into them.” He began typing something in the keyboard that he had taken out. “The name of your world is Freedom City, right…?” Kyle detto yes to what Mancer had asked, which caused the Nighless to nod his head as an okay.

Kyle watched the stage area, watching as energy sparks began appearing in the middle of it until a large portal opened up. “Is this the portal, Mancer? Will it really take us back to Freedom City where I live?” Mancer nodded his head as he put the keyboard away and made his way over to Kyle.

“Yes, it should take us outside your house. I remember Leggere the strada, via signs, so I know exactly where your house is, so I was able to program the portal to take two people straight to your front yard, o at least right there da your house,” Mancer replied. “The portal will close as soon as two people go through it, which is te and me, so we don’t have to worry about the portal staying open and leading unwanted people to your world and home.”

“Alright then, that’s a good thing,” Kyle detto as he slowly stepped up onto the stage. He walked towards the portal, looking back at Mancer for a moment. “Do te want to go first? o do te want me to go first?” Mancer simply pointed to the portal, indicating that he wanted Kyle to walk through first. Kyle simply nodded his head and walked through the portal, quickly being followed da Mancer who stepped into the portal almost right exactly after Kyle had stepped in.


Sure enough, like Mancer had said, the portal dropped the student and the teacher in Freedom City. Kyle looked around right after stepping out of the portal, and noticed his house right in the distance, just a few steps away. He turned to face Mancer, who appeared behind him shortly afterward. “Yeah, I see my house, Mancer. Thank te very much.”

“You’re welcome, but I suggest we get going. Time is running out,” Mancer reminded. Kyle remembered that he had a time set on how long he was supposed to be gone and quickly began jogging off towards his house, hoping that he already hadn’t run out. Mancer quickly followed after Kyle.

Upon arriving at his house, Kyle quickly opened the door and went inside, being followed da Mancer. The yellow hedgehog looked around quickly to see if his parents were home yet, but he was unable to see them anywhere, so he released a quiet sigh of relief. “Okay, it looks like they’re not home yet… Thank goodness. I was afraid I was going to get in serious trouble since we were gone for a while…”

“Where in the world have te even been all this time?” Daniel’s voice asked from the couch. He crossed his arms slightly, turning his head to look at his younger brother. “I’d say you’re really lucky that Mom and Dad aren’t home yet.”

“Daniel, PLEASE don’t say anything to Mom and Dad,” Kyle said, releasing a slight sigh through his teeth. “I mean, I called them and told them that I was going somewhere before I ever left, but I didn’t mean to be gone as long as I was. I just don’t want to upset them if they know I was gone for a bit longer than they wanted me to be gone.”

“I won’t tell them, as long as te promise to take care of my chores for tomorrow,” Daniel replied, wearing a very serious face; this face, however, quickly turned into a soft smile. “I’m just joking. I won’t tell them, and te don’t have to do my chores. That last part with the chores was just a joke.” Kyle released a small, relieved sigh.

“I’m sorry that we were gone for so long, Kyle. It wasn’t my intention to get te in trouble with your parents,” Mancer said, turning his head to look at Kyle. “I suppose time got away from me. I was monitoring what the time was, but I assume that I wasn’t watching it well enough o I was budgeting time enough, so that caused te to be just a bit late. I apologize for that.”

“It’s alright, Mancer… At least I didn’t actually get in trouble,” Kyle pointed out, trying to look on a slight bright side. Mancer gave a small nod of his head before turning towards the door.

“True. Well, I suppose it would be time for me to take my leave now,” Mancer said, which caused a bit of surprise in the yellow hedgehog.

“You’re just going to leave? te don’t want to go back to my training?” Kyle said, looking a bit surprised. Kyle’s domanda caused Mancer to pause and turn back for a moment.

“What, do te want to go back to training? Do te actually want to get back to work on that? I was assuming that te wouldn’t want to, so I was simply going to take my leave,” Mancer replied.

“Well, it’s not like anything is going to get done if I don’t work on it,” Kyle pointed out, to which Mancer agreed with a nod.

“That’s correct, your Rasoul powers won’t perfect themselves,” Mancer detto as he turned and walked towards the cucina of the house, heading towards the back door. “Come along, Kyle.” Kyle stood up as started to follow after Mancer, until he stopped for a moment and looked back at Daniel.

“Can te tell me when Mom and Dad get back, Daniel? Please?” Kyle asked. Daniel simply nodded his head. “Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Daniel called after Kyle as he watched his brother walk off towards the cucina and walk out the backdoor with Mancer.

“So, what do te want me to do now, Mancer? Back to the Rasoul punch, punzone and Rasoul Kick thing?” Kyle asked, turning his head to look at Mancer as they walked out into the backyard. Mancer simply nodded his head to what Kyle had said.

“Yes, that’s what I’d like for te to work on. I can’t really teach te many other moves until te learn the punch, punzone and Kick. Well, perhaps I could teach te some other things, but I would prefer to teach te these moves first before I sposta onto anything else with you,” Mancer replied, taking a sede, sedile on the back porch. “Also, Kyle… Do te want me to give te a few points of advice? The Rasoul punch, punzone and the Rasoul Kick can be easier if te put tight pressure into the energy OUTSIDE of your body instead of inside your body. It uses up più Rasoul energy, and it’s not quite as powerful, but it helps keep the energy together and makes it slightly easier to keep it together.”

“On the outside of my body?” Kyle asked in confusion, confused as to what Mancer had meant da what he said. “How can I do the punch, punzone o kick if the energy is already out instead of blasting out from my fist o foot?”

“You do it like this,” Mancer detto as he lifted his leg up slightly. Kyle watched as Rasoul energy began forming around Mancer’s leg; the energy continued forming until it began wrapping in a spiral around the Nighless’ leg, appearing to avvolgere quite tightly around his leg. Mancer pulled his leg back and then kicked his leg forward, sending a large blast of Rasoul energy flying inoltrare, avanti and up into the air.

“What did te even just do?” Kyle asked in shock as he watched the Rasoul energy sail past and go up into the air. “You just made a coil of Rasoul energy around your leg and it helped te make the Rasoul Kick thing happen?”

“It focuses the energy in the form of a tight coil, which means that te don’t have to try to pressurize it inside your body,” Mancer detto as he lowered his foot; the Rasoul energy vanished from around his leg. “It tightens the energy into the coil, and then channels it back into your leg o arm when te swing, shooting the energy out of your foot o arm. However, this method uses più Rasoul to make the coil. From everything that I’ve ever been told, the coil is easier to focus energy in than it is to focus it inside your body.”

“So do te think I should give that a try?” Kyle asked, his face lighting up slightly with a small look of excitement; he was excited to learn più about his Rasoul powers and how to use them in different ways. Mancer nodded his head to Kyle.

“I would say that it’s worth a try. To make the coil, all te have to do is manipulate your Rasoul energy as if te were making a spiral and avvolgere it around your arm o leg, whichever one te would like to use,” Mancer said.

“I think I did better with my arm, if I remember correctly,” Kyle detto as he held his arm out. He began forming Rasoul energy bit da bit around his arm, and then he began trying to focus the energy into a coil around his arm. He narrowed his eyes slightly, having trouble trying to focus the energy into a complete coil; he wound up unable to make a complete one, however, so a misshapen, smaller coil slowly began wrapping somewhat loosely around his arm instead of a regular one like what Mancer had made. “Mancer, will this be good enough?” The hedgehog asked, moving his arm to mostra Mancer.

“Can te not get it any bigger o better shaped than that?” Mancer asked, to which Kyle shook his head. “Well, I suppose that might help a bit. te might want to practice on that as well, since te can’t seem to make a full, perfect coil. I mean, I’m not trying to put te down in the slightest, but it would make this a bit easier if te could perfect the coil.”

“Well, I’ll try to work on perfecting the coil whenever I can,” Kyle detto as he attempted to keep his energy focused, attempting to keep the coil together and keep the energy from falling apart. “But, right now can I try to make the Rasoul punch, punzone happen?”

“You can try your best. They do say that practice makes perfect,” Mancer detto as he leaned backwards just slightly, preparing to watch and see what progress Kyle would be able to make at this current moment. Kyle nodded his head to what Mancer had said, turning away to try to get his Rasoul punch, punzone to work.

Kyle took a deep breath, and then started trying to charge as much Rasoul energy into his arm and the Rasoul energy coil as he could; he once again found it hard to keep the energy together, though it did feel just a tad bit easier than it had been before. Kyle wasn’t sure if this was because of the coil, o if perhaps he was getting a bit better in his practice. He attempted to focus as much energy as he could, which caused the coil to begin flowing slightly with Rasoul energy; he then threw his fist inoltrare, avanti and released the energy, hoping that he would have made at least a bit più progress in learning the new Rasoul move. He watched as the energy came out of his fist, noticing that it was still the little, shaky line that it was before. He released a small sigh, lowering his head slightly. “And I still don’t have it down just yet. I do wish I could have made at least a little bit of progress, though…”

“Wait, pay attention,” Mancer said, drawing Kyle’s attention. The Nighless pointed at the energy that had come out of Kyle’s fist; the energy expanded slightly and shaped out to a very rough looking, small blast as it continued flying. “That’s a bit of progress.”

“What did it even just do?” Kyle asked in shock, surprised at the fact that his Rasoul had suddenly changed when it left his fist. “Was that the Rasoul Punch? …Wait, no, it wasn’t because mine looked much different than yours did…”

“Technically, that was a bit of progress on the Rasoul Punch,” Mancer said, standing up from where he was sitting. He made his way over to Kyle, giving a small nod towards his student. “The Rasoul punch, punzone o the Rasoul Kick expands once it has been fired out, until it becomes a size that’s roughly about twice as big as the first amount that te had first fired out; well, maybe it’s a bit less than twice as big, but I’m not exactly sure what to explain it as. Anyway, the più energy that te put into it, the bigger the first blast will be, and the bigger that expand will be, but then it obviously takes più Rasoul energy to use.”

“I see. So, I kind of made a Rasoul punch, punzone happen?” Kyle asked, tilting his head to the side slightly. “It came out shaky like before, but then it turned into a small blast, o so I think that’s what it turned into.”

“In a way. That wasn’t a complete Rasoul Punch, but it was a bit of progress,” Mancer said. “Look at it this way; this time te were able to focus enough energy with the help of that coil to make a large enough energy output to make it expand, at least. Previously, your Rasoul wasn’t coming out packed enough and large enough, so it didn’t even have enough energy to expand. This time it still came out shaky, but it expanded just a tad bit. That’s progress.”

“Really? Alright then!” Kyle smiled slightly, feeling happy that he had actually made a bit of visible progress at this current point. He made whatever Rasoul energy that he still had disappear, stretching his arms out slightly. “Well, I’m happy, then. I’m glad that I was able to make some progress in learning my new Rasoul moves.”

“Yes, it’s certainly progress,” Mancer detto with a nod. “Now, would te like to continue going? o would te like to quit o take a break? I was assuming that te would want to keep going, since te haven’t really done much of anything else than use that Rasoul Punch. Surely you’re not feeling tired o worn out yet.”

“No, I feel fine,” Kyle replied, shaking his head slightly. “I don’t feel tired o anything like that. I’d say that I’m just fine with continuing on with the training and stuff like that.”

“Alright, then I suppose that’s what we’ll do. te can continue with the Rasoul Punch, o te can try to use your Rasoul Kick. I would suppose that it’s whatever te would like to do,” Mancer said.

“Well, maybe I can spend a little time trying to work on the Rasoul Kick,” Kyle said. “I mean, I think we already figured out that my Rasoul punch, punzone seems to be better, but if I try to work on the Kick as well at the same time, then perhaps I’ll progress on both of them at an equal rate.”

“That would most likely be the better choice. Working on both the Rasoul punch, punzone and the Rasoul Kick at the same time would indeed help te train and progress in both of them,” Mancer detto with a small nod. “However, I don’t recommend trying to do them both at the EXACT same time. I recommend trying your punch, punzone again o trying your Kick, and then doing the other one that te didn’t do before after te do the first one.”

“I know. I wasn’t planning on trying to use both of them at the exact same time,” Kyle said. “I meant what te just said; I meant that I was going to try one and then try the other one, so that way I’m practicing both of them at the same time.” Mancer nodded his head to what Kyle had said.

“Well, I’d say you’re free to keep going. All te have to do is let me know when you’re beginning to feel tired, and then te can take a break,” Mancer said, watching as Kyle began charging up Rasoul energy into his leg this time.

Kyle charged energy into his leg, attempting to focus it into a coil like he did before on his arm. He was able to make a coil that was about the same size and shape as the one that he had before, and manipulated the energy in the coil to make it avvolgere around his leg like he had down with his arm. He started trying to focus his energy into the coil, attempting to make it tight and pressurized before he threw his leg inoltrare, avanti in a kick, attempting to make a Rasoul Kick happen like how he had made a very small Rasoul Punch. He watched the energy that came out of his leg, which came out in a very small sliver much like how the punch, punzone had come out. He waited to see what the Kick would do, but it simply stayed a small sliver and then fell apart. “…Well, I don’t seem to have gotten any better with the Kick.”

“I’m sure te well with enough trying and working,” Mancer said, crossing his arms slightly as he continued to watch Kyle. “Now, while te continue working, would te like for me to tell te a bit più about the Rasoul Dimension and the Nighless civilians?”

“Would that be okay with you? I am still a bit curious about the Rasoul Dimension and those Nighless people,” Kyle detto as he charged up his Rasoul once more, preparing to try to make another Rasoul Punch. “I don’t think te told me about every single one of the Nighless species, did you?”

“No, I don’t believe I did, but I know that I named them off to you,” Mancer replied. “There’s Basic Nighless, Nighless Evolved, Rasoulin Fog Creature, Rasoulin Seeker, Nega Nighless, Origin Nighless, and Rasoul Embodiment, just to help te remember,” The hybrid named off a lista of the different Nighless species and types.

“I know te told me about the Basic Nighless and the Nighless Evolved, I think te told me some on the Origin Nighless and how Nighless came to be, I know te told me about the Rasoulin Fog Creature, and I know that te told me about the Nega Nighless,” Kyle said. “What’s the Rasoulin Seeker?”

“Rasoulin Seekers are fairly similar to Nighless Evolved in terms of looks and powers. However, Rasoulin Seekers naturally have crescent moon shaped eyes, and they have large bat-like wings, no matter what Mobian species that they normally look like. They also have slightly wider fangs than the other Nighless species. The Rasoulin Seekers originally came from vampires, and they still hold a bit of that today. From what I can tell, however, the want o need for blood o anything such as that has been Lost much like the werewolf traits from the Nega Nighless. The Seekers can, however, feed off of blood and even Rasoul energy, but the majority of their population chooses not to do so,” Mancer explained. “Rasoulin Seekers also have the ability to see in the dark.”

“So they’re vampires, o at least like vampires?” Kyle asked, still continuing to work on his Rasoul moves; so far, he hadn’t made any real visible progress in the Rasoul punch, punzone o Rasoul Kick, though he was still trying his best to get the blasts to turn out better. “…Are all of the Nighless species kind of scary o came from dangerous things?” Mancer gave a small chuckle to what Kyle had asked.

“That depends on what your personal definition on scary is. For instance, te may think that it sounds scary, but I personally don’t think that it does. Each person has different opinions on what’s scary and what isn’t scary,” Mancer pointed out. “Anyway, most Nighless are fairly nice o normal, but then some of them can be mean o evil. I would suppose that they’re the same as the people that te have here in your world. The Rasoul Dimension isn’t a perfect utopia, and neither are the inhabitants of the Rasoul Dimension. There’s still nice people mixed in with the bad people.”

“Well, I think most worlds are like that, right? I mean, there might be a perfect place somewhere in the world… but then again no one is ever considered to be perfect,” Kyle said, to which Mancer nodded at what the hedgehog had just said.

“True, that’s what the saying is. I don’t believe any normal living being is perfect, either,” Mancer said. “We all make mistakes, te know.” Kyle nodded his head to what Mancer said.

“Yeah, that’s how I think of it. We can do good things, but then we make mistakes as well,” Kyle said. Mancer nodded his head once more, before speaking to Kyle once again.

“Alright, now we’re straying off track,” Mancer pointed out. “We were talking about the Nighless and the Rasoul Dimension while te were working with your Rasoul punch, punzone and Rasoul Kick. I think we need to get back to that instead of standing here and having a pointless conversation when we have other things to speak of.”

“Well, I am still working on my Rasoul punch, punzone and Rasoul Kick. And the conversation isn’t really pointless. I would say it gives us something to do o things to discuss,” Kyle said, charging Rasoul energy up into a coil on his leg once more. He turned his head to look towards his teacher. “But I suppose te want to talk about the Rasoul Dimension some più o the Nighless, right?”

“Well, I suppose that conversation wasn’t exactly pointless, but I would prefer to continue talking about the Rasoul Dimension and related subjects,” Mancer said. “Anyway, I plan on taking te back to the Rasoul Dimension eventually when we get the time. I plan on perhaps training te there, and I plan on te getting to speak più to my brothers at some point. They still do have some information and some powers that they can tell and mostra te which I can’t.”

“Can te tell me anything that they can actually teach me? How much can they actually teach me compared to what te can teach me?” Kyle asked, turning his head slightly to look at Mancer. He kicked his leg inoltrare, avanti and released energy that he had in his leg, which flew inoltrare, avanti and then expanded just slightly. Kyle watched the energy in surprise, slightly surprised that he had just made an actual small Rasoul Kick happen. “Hey, wait! Look, Mancer! I made the Rasoul Kick happen finally!”
