Chereads / The Sword Bearer / Chapter 4 - The Forgotten

Chapter 4 - The Forgotten

Andrew and his team (Evan, Clair, Becky & Cruiser) have just arrived at an abandoned village, halfway towards the Harrendail Kingdom.

"Ok. let's split up in pairs and look for supplies," Andrew orders.

"Wait... we are in odd numbers. How are we supposed to do this?" Becky asks.

"Isn't it obvious? You and Evan are pairing up, also Cruiser and Clair are a pair now so go off and explore," says Andrew, shrugging them off him.

"What about you?" Becky asks.

"Well, I'm on my own. You two girls are the only kids here so... Yeah," says Andrew as he walks off.

"Oh. Yeah. Meet back here at near dark."

(Clair & Cruiser)

Clair & Cruiser are walking around the abandoned town looking for supplies.

"Can you trust this, Andrew guy," Cruiser asks Clair.

"Well. I'm unsure, but my father once said that sword bearers are highly rejected from society, making fewer sword-bearer appear. My father also said that one time while running from a Dragon which killed his whole party, a man turned up and just as my father was about to get eaten, he saw the guy reach for his sword and in a blink of my father's eye he saw the Dragon sliced in half," Clair explains.

"WOOW!" Cruiser shouts surprisingly.

"Well, I wouldn't call sword bearers to be that dramatically tough. I bet my father just changed the story dramatically," says Clair.

(Becky & Evan)

On the other side of town is Becky & Evan taking a rest near a water fountain.

"How do you know Andrew?" asks Evan.

"Hmm?" Becky trying to ignore the question

"What?" Evan Purposely trying to get Becky's attention.

"Fine then," says Becky giving up.

"Yaaay!" Evan shouts in excitement.

"I and my mother and father were having a hard time, always camping in the forests and fearing if a Minster would turn up. Every day was a struggle, struggling for food and safety, but one day we caught the attention of a horde of goblins while running for our lives, we saw an old man (Andrews stepdad) and a teenager (Andrew) who pulled out their weapons and killed all the goblins. That was the first time we have ever seen such strong strength. After they saved us, they took us in since Andrew's Father is the chief of a village. ever since then they (Andrew, his stepfather) and the village people have been looking after us," Becky explains.

"Well that sounds like a pretty boring and miserable life," says an unknown person.

"Hey! who said that? TAKE IT BACK," Becky shouts in anger.

"Hey look," says Evan, pointing in the distance as where he sees the figure walking toward them (Evan & Becky).

"Who, me? Well nice of you to ask. My name is Diablo and take what back? Well yes, I'll like to take something back, actually, the right word would steal... yes I would like to... no, not would or like, more like going to. I'm going to steal something from you, yes that was the right sentence," Diablo says confusingly while walking closer towards Becky and Evan. As soon as they (Evan & Becky) see Diablo in view they get shocked to see Diablo having white wings and black horns.

"What? you have horns like a demon and wings like an Angel," Evan confused about what Diablo is.

"Do you know what this guy suppose to be?" asks Becky.

"No. I've seen Demons and Angels, but never a cross between them," says Evan.

"Plus he said he's going to steal something. Like he can steal something from me. I'm the one with the assassin's spirit," says Becky showing off.

"Yeah. I'm going to steal your soul. Light Ray!" and with those words, a big hex appears below both Becky and Evan.

Without hesitation, Evan creates a big shield dome, covering him and Becky.

In an instant, a big ray shoots down from the sun creating a beam of light, ultimately hitting and destroying Evan's shield dome.

BAAAANG!

(Andrew)

Somewhere in town, inside one of the buildings looking for equipment.

"Anything... nope. Not there. Aye some water bottles," Andrew says out loud while looking out for equipment.

"I know you're there. Come out," says Andrew. sensing someone behind one of the doors, soon after a man with half black and a white face appears from behind the door.

"Oh? how did you know?" asks Domino.

"Ever since I came to this town. once I entered this town I could sense an evil presence and usually I can't sense a weak evil presence so I knew this one was dangerous so I made the others pair up so I could fight you without harming the others," Andrew explains.

"Well done you found me out. You must be a rare type," says Domino.

"How so?" Andrew asks.

"Because only a certain type of spirit can do that, and it's not a common spirit, no it's a rare spirit known as Warriors spirit."

BAAAANG!

Distant explosions.

"What was that. I knew I could sense another dark presence, but I never knew it would create this much noise," as Andrew turns around to rush over towards the explosion he falls for Domino's trap which activated as soon as Andrew touched the handle to open the door, now he's trapped.
