Chereads / Sword Chaser / Chapter 7 - Finding the one

Chapter 7 - Finding the one

The falls the most calming place in our lives, it takes us back to when we were little before I ran away from my parents and everything was closing in on me but then we ran into our old conrad Flake she ran to us in excitement and said.

"Hey Dixon, Jax and uh you."

"My name is Zero, just came up with it."

"Just came up with it?" she replied

"Yes I wasn't named at birth." I say

She asks"Oh yah what is your story I found interest in your life can you tell me please."

"Ugh OK fine but it will take a minuet and I hope you know you'll be the ninth person to know my real story I usually lie to people I don't trust but, here we go."

We all sit at the top of the fall in our water clothes and enjoy the nature as I share my life with her.

"So to start from the very beginning when I was 3 my life was not ordinary it was quite difficult my parents lived in hiding and they made sure to kept me concealed because, well I didn't really know why at the moment because they never told me but it was because dark magic was attached to my body and it tampered with my potential and it caused recent problems but anyways we had to keep moving from place to place trying to hide from someone or many more I don't really know they never told me but when I was 4 it got worse we ended up hiding in the mountains and that hiding lasted for 2 years I didn't even get to go out until I was 6 years old and that's when I ran away from home and found my friends. Next I wondered the land with them until we found our place so from 6 to 12 we were living basically on our own surviving off of wild food and water, and after that we turned 13 and found out about sword chasing and then we went to get the training and we found out that we had to be 14 to learn but there was an acception."

"What acception," said Flake

"We had to complete tasks that could get us killed and we did said tasks and we lost an old friend, I never revealed this part of the story.. And we lost Dixon's sister who was his only sibling she was his twin and she was the greatest fighter out of all of us and she just died, anyway we the rest of us passed and we went through the training and after 1 year we became sword chasers and during the age of 14 we went collecting different blades and then after that we came upon the age of 15 now and have been going through a series of problems for starter I went to unlock my potential and then I found out that this magic was driven off of hate and rage and I ended up killing 206 people because of a blackout moment,I have black magic attached to me from an old ancient spell chaser, we went to the Kingdom Of Mere and threatened the king then left to find answers, came back to the king because he had the answers and he killed Cast and I blacked out again and killed his entire defense, took his crown, cut his head and have it to someone else and left for the falls and now i'm here."

I then look down in shame of my own life and Flake lifted my head and said.

"I guess we all have our problems, for example I killed my parents because they didn't like what I wanted to be but that's a story for another time."

I look at her eyes and mine began to blur.

Jax looks at her with innocent jealous eyes and looks away. Flake stand straight up and says.

"See at the bottom."

And she jumps and I follow her in we both hit the water it felt like it felt a long time ago it felt euphoric and relaxing and my friends jumped in and we all splash water everywhere and have fun together. After that it was time to prepare Cast's funeral so we all got him wrapped him in a blanket and let him swim for the rest of his time. Later that night we all surrounded a campfire and said our last words to Cast and I started with.

"Dear Cast I want to thank you because you have taught me to come to my senses and think problematic and how to properly swim, hahaha thanks for being my friend."

Dixon says " Cast you kind of remind me of my late sister she was a fighter and a wanderer and wanted many things to go right thanks for being my friend."

Jax says " Cast your smart funny,blunt and overall a great best friend thanks for that."

Flake paid her condolences by burning an emerald she said it symbolizes hope and eternal life. Much later we all wanted to rest under the falls and, when me and flake were next to each other and we talked about love.

"So who do you consider me a friend Flake?"

She replies." Of course I do I like your life because no matter what you and your friends have each other even in hard times that show a good friend and I- uh.."

"You what." I said in interest

"We'll I was hoping to run back into you because there was something I needed to tell you."

"Tell me." I hold

"I lii.. I like the way you fight it's amazing and you should keep doing what you do you know."

"Oh of course I thought you liked me for a second I was severely confused, but yeah I like the way I fight to."

She sits up and hugs me and says goodnight and lays down. I say it right back and lays down and cast away.

I wake up yelling from a nightmare and they ask me what happened and I say

"Mazza!"
