*The same thought of the graveyard also passed through Jas's mind* (No way someone could become that power) he thought. (Unless she was already dead and someone brought her back. But who... Wait a mintue! I know only one person who could bring souls back from the netherworld)

Muja looked over at Jas and noticed he looked troubled. She looked around for signs of intruders but saw nothing but two harmless squirrels chasing each other up a tree. She cleared her throat.
"Something wrong?"

"I know how brought your mother back. I didn't think he would resort to using nercomancy again to gain some new fallowers."

"Wait a second, who's he?"
Muja stood up and walked in front of Jas, crossing her arms and frowning.

"His name is Nu. The bane of my existence and the cause of everything that has happened to this world since the Crisis from the Skies."

"Damn...so you think he is linked to my mother's awakened spirit..."
Muja said, thinking to herself.
"Tell me more about this Nu."

"You might want to sit down, this would be awhile." *Waits until she's seated* "Good. Now this takes place eons ago. It wasn't until after the Great War that Nu appeared. He was a member of the Cetra's most dangerous enemy, the Majin. Some of the Majin were given shelter on Earth due to their homeworld being destoryed in the war. When Nu was just a child, he exhibited great and fearsome power. The Majin's there feared it would lead to another war aginst the Cetra. They killed him and dumped his body in a river. But that river would lead him to a artifact call the Trite. Think of it as a stone the size of your fist with a cresent moon carved into it. The Trite revived him and shown him his race's past. He grew with a deeping hatred for the survivors of his kind and the Cetra.
When the time was right, he struck. The Majin's were first on his list, only a few survived. he then turned his wrath to the Cetar themselves. Their powers were nothing before him. He enslaved them, killing all who resisted. He was destined to be his race's champion, the Cetra's destroyer. But the Cetra had their own champion, their redeemer. That person was my ancestor. The two fought, but neither could gain the upper hand on the other. My ancestor decided if he couldn't defeat Nu, he would weaken him. Using the Trite and a ancient spell, he imprisioned half of Nu's soul into the Trite, half his powers with it. But the cost was the casters life. Reguardless, with Nu weakened, he was subdued and imprisoned. The Cetra didn't belive in the death penalty. Instead he was imprisioned in a jail in which time stood still, the Eternity Space. before he was sealed away, Nu vowed he would have his revenge. He already had a creature created and sent it out to wait for a signal and he would be freed. The Cetra feared that his threat might come to pass, so to protect the Trite in that case, a group of guardians were created to protect it.
Ironically, these guardians were the also first Sorcerer and Sorceress's. After that, these event were slowly forgotten. After the Flood of Light, which almost destroyed this world, the remaining Cetra's became nomads, wandering from land to land. it was during this that the Black Materia and Meteor was created. But that was the signal for Nu's creature. It rode on Meteor, crash landing at Northpoint, which is now the Northern Crater. It took the form of the Cetra's beloved, getting close enough to infect them a virus, Nu's true act of vengence. Some died instantly, others were mutated into monsters. The survivors fought back aginst Jenova, eventually sealing it away where it first landed. It was then your ancestors, the first humans, began to rise. But Nu's spirit wasn't confined to the jail, he infected the guardians thoughts with hatred and malice. It was also ironic that the survivng Cetras were also the first SeeDs, hunting these corupt guardians. Through the ages, Nu acqiured his first key to freeing himself, a Sorceress named Alexia. but before she could fulfill her end of the deal, she was imprisoned, along with a GF she had created using Jenova's virus.
Now to the present. Alexia had finally helped Nu gain his freedom and located the Trite. me and others were there to try and stop him. He killed Alexia after she tried to backstab him. Little did he know, the Cetra's managed to move the bulk of that power somewhere else and left no record where it was. Reguardless, with that little power he'd become a dangerous enemy, as I discovered that first hand. Instead of killing me, he took sadistic pleasure in making me watch as he killed my comrads infront of me. A part of him plan to ensure a dark prophcy was become reality. If I killed him with nothing but ahtred and malice in my heart, I would of been consumed in darkness and become this plante's destroyer. if I didn't meet the others on my jounry, I would of became no better than he was.
When I had a better grasp of my powers, I faced Nu at the Northern Crater. I thought I finished him there, but it turned out it was a blood clone he made. He's been in hiding since until a few days ago. He shown himself before me on the Hijrah before we went to face Loci. He said the he was the one who was going to kill me. Even now he either sends me either advice or warnings."

"Wow, he's bad news, and now he's got my mother mixed into all of this."
Muja punched her left palm with her right fist. She hated her mother and everything associated with her. All that woman did was cause her pain, and now she was somebody's puppet.
"If only my mom knew she was being used, Nu sounds like he doesn't care about anyone. But since she's just a spirit, she probably doesn't really think for herself. But she did try to come after me, but probably because I was close to you."
Muja frowned and let out a grunt of frustration. She was only confusing herself with this babble.
"What do you think we should do?"
She asked, looking at him.

"Unitl I know exactly where Nu is keeping his base, nothing. And about your mother, she still has her free will, just her soul is bound to his. He's acting as a conduit for her to remain alive here. If she tries to backstab him before their deal is finished, he would send her back. But if Nu gains his full powers, he would be able to summon anyone he wants from the nether realm. Think about it: Zeromus, Kefka, Sephiroth, Ultimecia, Necron and Yu Yevon. These were the threats of the past that have long since been killed by the hero's of those era's. If Nu gets these guys on his side, we could be facing great trouble.

"Wonderful."
Muja said, looking at the clear blue sky, as if that would give her answers.
"Let's find out more about Nu's whereabouts, shall we?"
She stood up and wiped her hands of the dirt from the ground, the action giving her a little confidence, but not much.

"It's going to be difficult. I've been looking for months and nothing, but I'm sure he'll be found..." He trails off before drawing his blade, his eyes narrowing. "We're not alone."

Muja stiffened and her eyes darted around the clearing. Her hand went to her dagger tied to the left side of her belt.
"Seems like he's nearer than we think."
She muttered to him, casually glancing behind her shoulder.

"It's not Nu. This is different, but where..." *Sees the ground ifnront of them buldge* "Move!" *Pulls Muja out of the way as a claw shot up from the ground before pulling itslef out, looking like it was made of the very earth itself* "A earth golem." Jas said to himself.

Muja didn't have time to thank Jas before the claw shot out again and wiggled around as if feeling for something.
"What is it?"
She had never seen anything like it before, especially in this clearing.

"That's a Earth Golem." Jas replied. "As its name implies, its made of the earth itself. Golems are xcreated when the creator doesn't want to get his or her hands dirty or to test whoever he or she sent it to attack. Last time I encountered this one, it wasn't alone so be prepaired, even the air around us could strike."

Muja didn't like this at all, trying to defend herself against the earth beneath her feet as well as the air. She didn't know where to look, for if she looked one way an attack could come from the other way.
"Think it's Nu trying to get you again?"
Only he's letting others do the dirty work for him, coward...
Feeling a rumble at her feet, she jumped and did a somersault just as a fist punched through the ground, lashing at the air.

*Jas kept his guard up, also jumping away when the erath buldged under him. He was a little too focused as the air behind him began to shimmer and take shape. The shape looked almost human, but it was nearly transparent, claws instead of hands and a mouth full of razor sharp fangs. Its claw raised to strike*

Muja saw a glimpse of a shape behind Jas.
"LOOK OUT!!!"
It was too far away to use her dagger, so she quickly summoned and aimed a spell at where she thought the monster's heart should be. She pointed and a lightning bolt shot out of her finger. Thankfully, it hit the monster, but apparently not where its heart was. It crumpled to the ground but it wasn't dead yet. At least it was weakened enough so they could use weapons. She started to run towards it in case it made a quick recovery.

*Jas turned quickly and jumped back, doging the fallen golem's slash while changing his blade's form. Just as Muja got close, a hand shot out from the ground and grabbed her leg. It then lifted it self out the ground, holding Muja in the air* "Your not going anywhere." It said in a deep voice.

Muja hung upside-down, feeling the blood rush to her head.
"Who are you?"
She grabbed her dagger and tried to cut the arm that was holding her but it was hard to reach. She hoped Jas was working on killing the golem before trying to save her.
