(3rd POV)

Ghira and Kali attended to Y/n's needs and let the boy calm down. From what the boy had told them things in the Fang were not going so well. He wished he never left the Fang. Sienna was his choice for next leader, and she did well, even if her motives changed from what he originally wanted. She had morals at least, unlike Adam.

Kali left to wash the dishes and left Ghira and Y/n alone again. Ghira motioned for Y/n to follow him into a side room full of books and other various items. Ghira sat at a large arm chair at a desk. He rummaged through the drawers, looking for something.

Ghira: Y/n I'm sorry she left you with this burden

Ghira pulled out a book from his desk and dusted it off. It was a book handed down to him, by the leader of the Fang when he was young. It's what helped him learn everything he needed to know about the Fang, how to lead.

Ghira: Y/n I'll help you as much as you need, but my power is limited

Y/n: Thanks Mr. Belladonna

Ghira: Call me Ghira... Did Sienna ever tell you the importance of that Knife Y/n?

Y/n: Not really...

Ghira silently cursed Sienna. Such a item can't be given to someone and then never explained why its as important as it is.

Ghira: That knife is more than just a symbol for the Fang. It holds great power within, the ability to boost any average person into a fighting force all on their own. Each holder of the knife get something different, but that can only be unlocked through diligent training and dedication

Y/n: Really? What did it give you and Sienna?

Ghira: I gave me lots of physical strength! I could beat anyone in the Fang!

Ghira flexed his arm as he rolled up his sleeve. He had a big smile on his face, before he got back to the topic at hand.

Ghira: As for Sienna... I don't know... Now that she has passed the knife on she has lost the powers she gained

Y/n: Oh...

Y/n looked down in sadness. He hated himself for being the cause of Sienna losing whatever she had gotten. Ghira broke out in laughter drawing Y/n's attention.

Ghira: Don't worry boy! Sienna knows what she is doing so don't be sad!

Y/n: B-But...

Ghira: You really care for her... That's good... Having someone to fight for, to care for always makes someone stronger... Being a leader is no easy task Y/n. Your life will be an uphill battle from here on out. Can you handle that?

Y/n: I think so...

Ghira: There is no think so!! There is yes and no!

Y/n jumped back in fear. He didn't expect Ghira to snap like that, nor the face he had. Y/n looked down at his feet. He wasn't sure if he was or not, but he was certain that if it helped Sienna then he would make himself ready.

Y/n: Yes! I'm ready!

Ghira: Good... Then lets get started Y/n

Ghira handed the book to Y/n. His eyes had a fiery passion inside them. Y/n grabbed the book and looked up at Ghira. He had to admit Ghira scared him sometimes, but he could see the gentleness and care inside.

Ghira: I'm going to explain the struggles of being a leader to you. Be sure to pay close attention Y/n.

Y/n nodded. A new wave of determination washed over him. He would do this for Sienna, Edgar, and all of the other Fang members who believed in him.

Ghira: Being a leader is tough Y/n. It wears at the soul. You will have to always stay strong, everyone's eyes will always be on you and not all of them will have good intent behind them. Trust becomes hard to come by, You will always have to watch your back Y/n

Y/n sat silently. He listened to Ghira, but he felt sad. Not because of what he was hearing, but because he saw the sadness behind Ghira's eyes. They looked so tired and heartbroken.

Ghira: People will die... You can't save everyone Y/n... Even if you want to its not possible... You can't let those deaths get to you... You can show no weakness...

Y/n: What happened... When you were the leader Ghira?

Ghira: It doesn't matter anymore. It happened a long time ago... What I'm getting at is you should keep Sienna close to you... I know without Kali I would have lost my mind

Y/n gave Ghira a nod. He wasn't planning on not keeping her close, but with Ghira saying what he did it just made his plan more absolute.

Ghira: Adam is going to be no easy fight Y/n. Ever since he was a kid, he's suffered... It's good he wants to do everything for the Fang, but he has lost the way... and he will do what he thinks he has too

Y/n wasn't really sure what he meant by that. He didn't think Adam was that bad of a guy, so what was the worst he could do. He knew Adam was doing everything for the Fang, but he surely wouldn't do anything to tarnish its name.

Ghira: Now study that book Y/n. We will begin training tomorrow morning. I want to see what Sienna had taught you so far

Y/n looked down at the book and opened it. The first page was an index, showing where and what was on each page. There was a lot of history about the Fang, it's previous leaders, major conflicts, even history Y/n didn't know existed about the world.

Adam was sitting in the leaders chair. He rested his hands against his face as he thought about his next move. The game of chess had officially started, and he wanted to make sure he was several steps ahead of all opposition.

He slammed his hand down against the chair's arm rest. He was missing a key part to some of his plans, and he had no idea where it was. His anger built and built, until he pulled out his sword and cut the chair in half.

Adam: Blake! Ilia! Come here!

Blake: Adam?

Ilia: Sir?

Adam: Go find that damn human!

The girls nodded and left the hall. A squad of other Fang members followed with them.

Adam was inpatient. He knew Y/n would come for Sienna eventually, but he didn't know how long that would be. He didn't want to wait around for him to show up, if he wanted to make any progress he needed to take action, and claim his spot as leader. He wasn't going to let anyone stop him, no matter what.

Welp here it is! I'm sorry if it felt lack luster or just not a good chapter! I know people have been waiting for it, but where I left it off last time there was only so much I could do!
