Chapter 5 - Episode 5

A sunny day in the forest. Where the sun was blocked by the trees. On a hill stood two red knights. The one on the left was short and his armor was egg shaped. The one on the right was tall and had a red spear. Gordon, the tall one stated that he heard a rumor that the cursed zodiacs had a hideout somewhere around here. Develin started walking towards the left path. Gordon shouted that he was going the wrong way. Develin told him that he's checking out something, and that for him to go check it out himself. Then he proceeded to walk away.

Later on Taron and Eric was walking across a grassy plane. Eric stomach growled, then he remembered he had bread in his pocket. Taron was shocked at what just happened. Eric offered some of the bread, but Taron refused saying he likes his bread out of pocket. After Eric ate the bread he apologized about having Taron fight a lot because of him. Taron told him no problem. He's been bored and needed something to do anyway. Eric smiled then asked where was they going. Taron then told him about his house and hows it's close by. The house is a cylinder shape with a cone shape roof. The outside is green, the roof is the same color and similar material as hay and windows surrounded the building.

As they was walking Develin had shouted out cursed zodiac Virgo. Taron and Eric looked up and saw him standing on top of a little cliff edge. Taron had acknowledged that was a red knight. Eric didn't now much about the red knights. The red knights are group of knights with a different type armor. Unlike the knights of the kingdom, the red knights' armor is made with magic. Enhancing their physical abilities. Elite red knights are strong enough to get a magical ability from their armor as well. After Taron explained that to Eric, Develin asked virgo if he was wondering how he knew that. Taron interrupted him by saying that his magical helmet lets him see through Taron's shirt, and he was able to see his zodiac sign. Develin was shocked because Taron knew the right answer. Then he asked how he knew that. Taron replied that it was his secondary curse future sight. Develin then release red energy that's similar to fire from his eyes. Taron had grab Eric and jumped out of the way. Once he landed he put Eric down. Then he jumped towards Develin. Develin had laughed then shot again. Taron smiled as the beam hits him head on. Develin laughs at the explosion. Then Taron's instant karma instantly attacked develin shaking the earth below him as well. Then Taron slammed his fists downwards Develin's head. Develin had traveled through the ground as you see nothing but dust trailing from the cliff. After Eric approached Taron the two had continued their path.

In the house was a painter with spiky black hair with the sides cut wearing a yellow shirt, khakis pants, and a colorful head scarf tied around his head. The painter was showing some civilians some art. As they look at the abstract art they get amazed. The painter was happy, so he flipped the page and showed them his other painting. A disfigured person with a long neck. As they look at this painting their reaction was completely different. Everyone hated it and walked out the door. The painter was sad that they left as he rearranged his paintings. Then the doors had open again. The painter got excited to show someone else his paintings, but as he turns around he sees a tall red knight standing before him.

The tall knight introduced himself as Gordon of the elite red knights. Gordon tells the painter that he already know that he's a cursed zodiac. The painter smiled then lifted his hand towards Gordon's stomach. After that he said hidden curse, destruction. A destructive force was released from his hand and cause Gordon to fly out of the building trailing through the surface of the ground. The front of the house was completely gone. As Taron and Eric sees the house in the distance they also see the destruction and dust clouds. Gordon leaned back up and looked at his stomach. He saw a hole in the armor and was confused. He stated that red knight's magic armor are supposed to be unbreakable. The painter walked towards Gordon and said that's the power of curses. Gordon stood up and put both hands on his spear raising it up. As he does that red energy emerged from his body. The painter looks at the spear and told him not to miss. After he said that a small thin pink line appeared in front of Gordon and flew into him. Gordon then slashed down his spear creating a large dust cloud. As the dust cloud clears up Gordon eyes opened in shock as the spear completely missed the painter. Gordon was confused and shouted how was that possible. The painter replied by saying that he had jinxed him. Gordon grunted in anger as he states that the painter was pissing him off. The painter lifted his hand in front of Gordon's head while saying, then die. After hearing that Gordon instantly swung his spear in the opposite direction of his first swing. The attack caused the painter to slide on his back through the ground. Gordon then raises his left hand as red energy emerged from his armor. The painter looked up and saw 5 red energy spikes hovering above him. Gordon laughed loudly then shouted at the painter that it was time for him to die. He swung his arm down causing the spikes to fall too. The painter held his right hand out, then a golden staff with a lion head on the top appeared in his hand. The painter then slammed the staff in the ground and shouted lion's roar. A barrier of sound waves surrounded the painter. The energy spikes dissolved as they clashed with the barrier. The painter then dashed towards Gordon, and the two started clashing their staff and spear. After clashing a few times the painter started spinning his staff then shoved it into the hole in Gordon's armor. The painter then used his lion's roar again generating a sound wave beam. The beam blasted Gordon as he trails through the ground. As Eric and Taron approach the house, they see the painter standing there as his clothes are moved by the wind.
