The grip on the Blades of Chaos grew tighter as the woman spoke. The meek boy had apparently made a vow of love towards one with enough power and skill to slay any of those who got in their way. He supposed in one respect that meant one would never be able to harm him. But her determination to keep this supposed promise would not be enough to spare her from his wrath. Spreading his feet apart, he raised the blades and was intent on trying to slice Yuno right down across the chest. But as Yuno began to speak to her, he slowly lowered the blades and slung them to his back
"Do what you must, child. Just keep in mind that if this girl were to bring risk to my life? I'll put an end to hers and your kind words will not sway me otherwise." With that warning given and the utmost seriousness behind it, Kratos turned on his heels and walked off to wait and see what else waited in this forest for them besides an annoying creature with an instrument. Whistling as Kratos stomped off, Skull Kid dropped down from the branch rather elegantly and turned to face Yuki as he twirled the flute around.
"I'm happy that you caught the message behind my melody! I could tell just by looking at those two, a battle between them would have devastated this area. Which I wouldn't have been very happy with. This place is all I have and so I'd hate to see it damaged! But you'd like to leave right? I can tell that just by looking at you and the rest of the people that you're not from here or even the village. Sooo what I think I'll do is point you in the right direction! You see that hollowed out tree over there?" Skull Kid asked as he pointed over to the tree stump with what appeared to be like an entrance within it.
"I don't like to go in there because I'm not a big fan of the town. But going in there will lead you to where the rest of the grown-ups and other people live! It's a town called Clock Town. I think you'll find more people there who could help you. I just wish you could stay and listen to my music some more. You really seem like such a nice person and I don't get many people who come to see me.." The creature said as he looked down sadly and scuffed the grass with his boot.
Nearby Eddy was throwing a fit because he hadn't gotten a single cent from that fight! No one got punched, kicked, or even poked in the eyes! I'm trying to run a business here!" The greedy twelve year old whined as Ed suddenly jolted upwards and knocked Eddy off his shoulders in response.
"Lothar is tired..Seeks pillow to rest head upon and butter toast to devour.."
Rubbing the back of his head, Eddy reached for his jar fell while growling at Ed.
"Lothar is gonna know what a foot tastes like when I-Huh?! Where'd it go?!"
"Nope! Lost my brain a long time ago, Eddy!"
"THE CHANGE JAR, ED! MY FOUR HARD EARNED QUARTERS ARE GONE!"
Relieved that the debacle between Yuno and Kratos had ended without much blood shed and seeing that Yuki had speaking to Skull Kid at hand, he began to head over towards the other Eds. Only to have Eddy tackle him to the ground and shake him hostility.
"Should I even ask what your reason is for assaulting me?"
"What reason would I need?! My money's gone, Double D! I'll never be able to gain the people's trust now! They won't respect a man who has no money!" Eddy whimpered as he wiped at his eyes. Rolling his own, Double D sat up and got the creaks out of his back and patted Eddy affectionately on the shoulder.
"Somehow I'm sure you'll survive, Eddy. For now we've got to enter in through that hollowed out tree. It'll lead to salvation away from all this outdoors business and perhaps a way home!" But before Double D could explain further, Ed was entranced by his own hallucinations once more as his eyes rattled around. Pointing towards what looked like two floating lights with wings, one of them appeared to be holding Eddy's jar.
"THERE FLOATS THE DEMONIC PUFF BALLS FROM MARS! THEY'LL TAKE EDDY'S JAR AND USE IT TO PUT OUR BRAINS IN WHEN THEY HOLLOW OUT OUR HEADS! WELL THEY WILL NOT GET US! SO SAYS LOTHAR!" With that Ed slammed his head straight into the ground like an ostrich. Eddy stared blankly before rushing after the two fairies.
"I told you that you were taking too long, Tael!" The yellow fairy scolded as the purple one by the name of Tael and who was holding Eddy's money fluttered around.
"S-Sorry, Tatl. I didn't mean to! But let's go before he catches us!" With that the two siblings were agreed as they raced off into the opening of the hollowed out tree with Eddy and Double D in hot pursuit. While Ed still his head firmly wedged into the ground. His brain would not be taken and put into a jar this day!
"Oh my! Something exciting appears to be happening, hee hee! I suggest you and the others follow. Lest you be left behind. I hope you get a chance to come back and see me again.." Skull Kid said a bit remorseful sounding as he waved Yuki and the others off if they decided to follow after the Eds.
