Chereads / The Sword Bearer / Chapter 2 - Unexpected Team Up

Chapter 2 - Unexpected Team Up

During the mits of the battle between Andrew, Becky, Evan & Evans men they hear a voice coming from the distance.

FIRE EXPLOSION!

And with them words a big fireball comes crashing down upon Becky, Evan, Andrew & Evans men, effectively killing all of Evans men and blowing everyone back.

Through the dust from the explosion appears four magic mages, one holy mage, two priests, and a Princess.

"Who did this?!" Evan shouts in anger as his men have died.

"I ordered my man to use a fire spell. Don't blame me. It was you guys who were in my way," laughs the evil little Princess.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" Evan shouts in rage.

"Well, it's actually your fault for getting in my way. So who actually needs to pay for this is you," says the Princess with a smirk.

"YOU... ERRGGG!" Evan mad and angry.

"He is right," says Andrew, backing up Evan.

"Yeah, he's right. You, idiots, are the ones who fired at us while we were distracted," Becky explains and joins in.

"And who do you think you are? I am a princess and you poor common folk are nothing more than dirt on the ground," Princess trash-talking to Evan, Becky & Andrew.

"What did u say!" Shouts Evan.

"That's enough I'm getting bored. Kill them," the Princess orders as she gets back into her carriage.

"Understood," the Princess mage troops reply and start reciting spells, shooting fireballs and lighting rods towards Evan and the other two.

"Sheild Dome!" chants Evan, making a shield barrier around him and the two others (Andrew & Becky).

"Lucky your a protection spirit, or you wouldn't have been able to cast a protection spell," says Becky.

"Unless I'm helpful. What's your spirit? can you help us?" Evan asks.

"Unfortunately no. She can't help us. She's useless, her spirit is based around the assassination, like invisibility, awareness and etc," Andrew explains with disappointment.

"Hey! he was talking to me not you," says Becky, annoyed.

"Ok... So what can you do?" Evan asks Andrew.

"Well I don't have any magical powers," awkwardly says Andrew, scratching behind his head all nervous.

"WHAAAT!" Shouts Evan in a surprised tone. "We're doomed."

"Don't worry. I don't like fighting, but I have to do this to make us survive," says Andrew as he stands up. "Open the barrier'"

"Don't be stupid. You can't do magic so how are you supposed to win," Evan asked.

"With this," as Andrew pulls his dagger which was hidden in his jacket, Evan's eyes widen.

"WHAAAAT... You're a sword-bearer. I haven't seen a sword-bearer in years. Are they still around?" Evan surprised.

"I'll tell you later just open the barrier," Evan opens the barrier for Evan and everyone stops firing.

"What a sword-bearer?" distant noises from the Princesses men catch the Princesses ears.

"Wait a sword-bearer," and the Princess gets out of her carriage.

By the time the princess gets out of her carriage, she sees all her men on the floor and dead, with Andrew still standing with blood dripping from both his daggers. Evan has a shocked expression as do the Princess.

"I told you. I don't like fighting," says Andrew with a gloomy, dark tone as he walks up to the Princess.

With Andrew's dagger pressed up against the Princesses neck he asks "What's your name?"

"My name you ask," the Princess responds.

"YES!" Shouts Andrew.

"Ah... My name is Clair," Clair (Princess) answers in fear.

As Clair looks around at her men she spots her loyal friend laying on the ground which was one of her loyal knights. Clair runs to check upon him.

"Cruiser. Wake up. If you don't this guy (Andrew) might kill me," Clair panics while shaking Cruiser which he's on the ground.

"Don't worry I won't kill you. I haven't even killed your men. They're all just unconscious, that's all," says Andrew.

"Oh. So what do you want?" asks the Princess.

"The only thing I want, is to get to the Harrendail Kingdom, alone," says Andrew while irritated.

"Hey... I was just heading towards the Harrendail Kingdom for an important meeting with their king. I got an idea..." says Clair.

"And the answer to your idea is NOO!" Shouts Andrew.

"Why. she can come," says Becky.

"What! Why are you back her up? I just want to get there by myself," says Andrew as he walks off.

"Please sir," Cruiser gets on his hands and knees and begs to accompany him.

"TSK... Fine then. You guys (Cruiser, Evan & Clair)," Andrew allowing them to accompany him & Becky towards the Harrendail Kingdom.

Off they go, more into the Forrest and one step closer to their destination.
