"Another fragment of my past come to torment me, I see." Victor said softly.
"Hello Graves."
"Ji Soon Shi." Victor looked at the woman; she hadn't changed much, her thick black hair was still short, falling around her face in layers. Her eyes were the shape and color of almonds, set in a pale olive toned face; a small nose led to a full, pouty pair of lips. Her slender body was lithe and graceful. Clothed in a gray cape, she was able to slip around in the shadows without a noise.
She had been in his squad. She had been their leader. The Ghost, everyone had called her, everyone except Victor and Niddhogg. They had been neither scared nor respectful enough to call her that.
She moved closer to him "You can't touch me, Graves. . .you can't kill what is already dead." She said slipping her hand through a wall. "I am here to tell you to be careful. You are close to unlocking secrets that should remain hidden until the end of time. Abandon this foolish quest. . .it can only bring more pain. Leave." Ji Soon Shi slowly faded away, all the while looking straight into Victor's eyes.
"Stop? Not bloody likely!" Victor hissed after she had vanished.
"Don't look now, but here comes out dear leader."
Victor and Niddhogg were sprawled on the ground, lazing in the sun.
"She looks quite fierce today!" Sniggered Niddogg.
Victor smirked and leaned over his companion, whispering softly in his ear "I have something to. . .discuss with you tonight. Meet me in the library" and with that he had gone. Jumping soundlessly up to the tree, then leaping elegantly from treetop to treetop until he was out of sight.
Victor wiped sweat from his forehead. He didn't want to remember anything other than how much he hated Niddhogg.
