"Go!" yelled Amarth. After everyone had split up Shoan spoke up.
Shoan - "Why wouldn't you let me go with Petra?"
Amarth - "I didn't trust the rest of them not to get in my way."
Shoan smiled a little at this. He enjoyed the brief feeling that he was special to his big brother. He had fought together with him many times, and they were both very good, and so they were able to bond with fighting in a way that normal brothers may have never found possible.
Soon their eighteen came charging in unison from the woods.
Amarth - "A dual maboroshi then?"
Shoan - "Sure."
Wind came rushing from their two bodies and energy poured from within them with an awesome intensity. Soon, multiple figures of their bodies came flying out with blurring speed. Hundreds of Shoans and Amarths poured through the confused enemy force, glints of a blade and a spray of blood was all that let the Yowai know they had been touched at all. The two brothers moved with amazing grace and fluid motion, and when they were done, they stood behind the force, every member of which had both arms sliced to the bone. Amarth and Shoan turned and faced them, blue energy still pouring from their eyes after that last attack. "Run," Shoan spoke simply. The Yowai ran howling in pain and fear back into the woods, arms dangling at their side.
Shoan grunted and started his walk back to the house. Amarth sighed at him and followed. Shoan hated letting those demons live, but he knew it would upset Amarth to kill them and so he put up with it.
