The Medallion

"Thank you so much for what you did today," Kye suddenly uttered out of the blue.

"I just did what I thought I should do. Anyway, it's nice to see that you're starting to talk to me..." Rocky replied.

"I admit that I was doubtful of you before, but my moral compass is still as good as anyone. I know you’re just trying to do the right thing. I’d be lying if I said that I was pleased that you replaced me as the leader, but after seeing your work up close, I realized it was for the better good," Kye answered back, not letting his pride cloud his judgment. When he saw Rocky capture the commander of the spiritual race's army and help them escape from the Crescent Gorge, he knew he was in the wrong. What was more, Rocky didn’t hesitate to save his life again this time.

"I'm glad that you think so!" A feeling of relief washed over Rocky. He didn't expect that he would gain Kye's trust in such a short amount of time.

"But this doesn't mean that I like you. You're still a closed book." Kye's tone suddenly changed as a look of disdain was seen on his face.

"Really?"

"Of course, what happened in that cave couldn't be that simple. I have a feeling that you're hiding something," he added. His intuition was seldom wrong. He knew the man in front of him was not telling the whole truth.

"It’s better for you if you don’t know much about some things. It won’t do you any good. What’s important is that you’re alive and safe right now." Rocky tried his best not to give him the truth.

"That's true, but I don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark," Kye said.

"Speaking of this, I have to ask you something." Rocky suddenly shifted the topic.

"What is it?"

"You haven't merged with a martial spirit, have you?" he asked.

"Martial spirit? Are you kidding me? How could I have the chance to fuse with a martial spirit?" Kye was caught off guard by the question.
