Ray walked down the street, looking up at the various colored decorations. He couldn't believe that the city was already preparing for the holidays. The holidays. He looked at his swollen stomach. Sounds about right for their arrival. but twins do tend to arrive earlier.

A twelve year old girl in a medieval-style dress with long brown hair looked around the city, wide-eyed. The dress was purple with silver and gold sewing that was clearly a different language. "WHere did Akura go...?" she muttered to herself.

"Akura!" Majora called out, her fear mounting. She'd been searching for over an hour with the one that was supposed to be in charge of her. "Goddesses..."

She nodded. "Please."

Ray smiled gently and held out his hand. "Was there somebody with you before?"

"A-Akura du Ikanos..." Majora said, wiping away some frightened tears. "And Axun..."

"What do they look like?"

"Akura's hard to miss. She usually wears a black cloak that has a clasp of a burned rose. Axun... I've never seen his face, but he wears a brown cloak and carries two swords under it. We won't find him, though, because he's Akura's bodyguard and always in the shadows..."

"I think Akura abandoned me because she says I'm weak... She gave her word of honor to Kiki to watch me, but she doesn't like me..." Majora said as she wiped away more tears.

She blew her nose. "I hope so..."
Akura and Axun stood on top of a building, watching the scene below. "She has failed yet another test," Akura said.
"Perhaps you are giving her too much at one time," Axun said. "She is still but a child in heart, mind and soul."
"And we must break that."

Ray gave her a reassuring smile. "Oof!" He grunted as somebody slammed into him. Ray barely caught himself as he fell. He froze when he felt something sharp prick the back of his neck. He heard heavy foot steps come to a stop.
"That's right!" A deep voice bellowed. "One more step and the lady gets it."

Majora's hand slid quickly into a hidden pocket in her dress and her fingers curled around the hilt of her dagger.

Axun and Akura stepped out of the shadows. "Is there a problem?" Akura asked, her voice icy cold. Though she only looked fourteen, she had clearly seen many battles and slain many with her own hand.

The thug froze. "Back off kid, you don't know who you're messing with."

Akura smiled a grim smile. "And neither do you." She pushed her arms open wide, her cloak flaring open. IT revealed twin swords at her sides and an arrangement of daggers.

The thug's eyes widened. Ray's arms wobbled, he was still regaining his muscle mass.

Akura began to slowly draw the twin swords, the steel gleaming dangerously in the sunlight. She clearly was ready to kill the thug.
Axun walked to Ray and helped him stand up, kicking the thug hard enough in the leg to break bone.

"Thanks," Ray said.

"No problem," Axun said. Akura sheathed her sword.
"It is my job to rid worlds of the pathetic lifeforms such as these." She drew one of her daggers and tossed it uncerimonously into the thug's heart.

"I am the daughter of a warrior culture. I was born and raised in and for war." She grabbed the dagger and wiped the blood off on her cloak, then placed it back in the sheathe. "The lives of pathetic people like this are of no consequence to me."

"The Ikanians have no room for weakness. If we gave any thought to our enemies, we would become softened and unable to fight," Akura continued. "We are a race of fighters, not diplomats."
