CHAP 16:REUNION.
"HOW ABOUT A BET?"JAY PROPOSED."THE ONE THAT CAN TAKE THIS ROCK FACE DOWN WILL BE TREATED BY THE OTHER TWO?"
"I CAN'T SEE WHY NOT?"VINCE SAID.
"TRY ME, I'LL LET YOU SEE A THING OR TWO."I SAID.
"WOW, IS BEING OUTSIDE MADE YOU ARROGANT?"VINCE SAID."IT'S SO NOT YOU."
"IT'S NOT ARROGANCE, IT' CONFIDENCE."I SMILED AND CHARGED TOWARDS THE DRAGON.
"HEY!THAT'S A FALLS START."JAY SAID.
THE TWO ALSO CHARGED TO THE DRAGON AFTER ME, WITH US THREE AND IT'S INJURIES, INT CAN'T DO A THING TO US, IT BECAME A ROCK PUNCHING BAG.
I TOOK A STEP BACK AFTER A FEW EXCHANGE OF BLOWS WITH THE DRAGON."HEY, IS THAT WHAT YOU GONNA SHOW US?"JAY SAID."HAHA PATHETIC."
I SMILED, OPENED MY PALM AND YELLED."STFU! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!"THE TWO SAW A BLACK BALL IN FRONT OF ME AND TOOK A STEP BACK, THEY KNOW THAT I'M GONNA ATTACK AND DON'T WANNA GET CAUGHT UP.
THE DRAGON USED IT'S WINGS TO SHIELD ITSELF, BUT AS SOON AS THE BLACK BALL TOUCH THE DRAGON, IT'S WINGS GOT TORN INTO PIECES, THE DRAGON GOT KNOCKED BACK A FEW METERS AWAY.
"HEY, WTF WAS THAT?!"JAY ASKED."IT TORN THE DRAGONS WINGS."
"I TOLD YOU I'LL SHOW YOU A THING OR TWO."I SAID.
TWENTY METERS AWAY FROM US, TWO MENS ARE WATCHING OUR FIGHT WITH THE DRAGON.
"WHAT ARE DOES KIDS?"A MAN WITH A SHORT BLACK HAIR."THEY'RE NOT TAKING THE DRAGON SERIOUSLY AND EVEN MADE A BET."
"WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?"THE OTHER GUY THAT HAS A RED HAIR AND WEARS A GLASSES."THOSE TO ARE GENIUSES FROM THE ACADEMY THAT THAT GUY FOUNDED."
"YEAH BUT STILL."THE GUY WITH BLACK HAIR SAID."SPEAKING OF STUDENTS, THAT GUY THAT KNOCKED THE DRAGON AWAY IS NOT FROM THE ACADEMY THAT GUY FOUNDED, WHO'S HE?"
"HMM, JUST LET IT BE, LET'S GO."THE GUY IN GLASSES SAID AND LEFT.
THE DRAGON LOSES IT'S WILL TO FIGHT AND WANTED TO RUN, BUT VINCE JUMPED TO IT, WIELDING HIS AXE WITH A STRUCK OF LIGHTNING IN IT, THE DRAGON TRIED TO PENT IT WITH IT'S TAIL, BUT GOT CUTTED BY VINCE'S AXE.
I USED "GHOST STEPS" AND CHARGED TOWARDS THE DRAGON, JUMPED AS HIGH THEN YELLED AGAIN."HEY VINCE! MIND MOVING AWAY A LITTLE?!"
"OI!, DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?!"VINCE SAID THEN JUMPED AWAY, THIS TIME, THEY KNOW THE POWER OF MY SKILL AND GET OUT OF THE WAY, IT HITTED THE DRAGONS BACK AND MADE A HOLE IN IT.
"THUD!!"
THE DRAGON FELL ON THE GROUND."HEY, I WANT A STEAK FOR DINNER."I SAID WHILE SMILING AT VINCE AND JAY.
AFTER DEFEATING THE TERRA DRAGON, JAY AND VINCE NEEDED TO REPORT TO THE CITY LORD, I WAITED OUTSIDE, IT TOOK THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE THEY COME BACK.
"YOU SURELY TOOK YOUR TIME EH?"I SAID TO JAY AND VINCE.
"COME ON, IT'S A JOB."VINCE SAID."AND HERE, WE CAN BUY YOUR STAKE."HE SAID AS HE SHOW ME A POUCH OF GOLD.
WE DECIDED TO EAT IN THE CITY'S BEST STEAK HOUSE.
"HEY, WHERE'D YOU GONE THIS PAST TWO YEARS?"JAY ASKED."WE WERE SHOCKED WHEN AUNT TOLD US THAT YOU DECIDED TO STAY OUTSIDE."
"SO SHE TOLD YOU, THAT'S GOOD."I SAID IN RELIEF.
"WHAT GOOD?"VINCE SAID."BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T CAME BACK, YOU BECAME A WANTED PERSON FOR KILLING ELIZABETH KOLINS, YOU'RE THE PRIME SUSPECT BACK THEN, BUT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T RETURN, YOU BECAME GUILTY."VINCE EXPLAINED.
"AND BECAUSE OF THAT, NELO DECIDED TO CREATE A GROUP CALLED "INFINITY BLADE", IT WAS MADE IN YOUR HONOR, IT'S RO SHOW SUPPORT."JAY ADDED."HE EVEN MADE US LOOK FOR YOU FOR MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS."
"SO, I BECAME A CRIMINAL FOR KILLING THAT B*TCH?"I SAID."SHE SELL US OUT, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, ALL OF MY COMRADES DIED.'COME TO THINK OF IT, DID THE YOUNG MASTER SURVIVED?'I ASKED IN MY THOUGHTS.
"THAT'S WHAT THE YOUNG MASTER STATED, BUT THEY DIDN'T BUY IT SINCE YOU DIDN'T COME BACK."VINCE SAID."I ADVISE YOU TO NOT GO BACK TO BLACK FLAME CITY JUST YET."
"WHY SHOULD I NOT?I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, AND MOST OF ALL, I MISSED MY MOM."I SAID."BUT IF IT'S THAT SERIOUS, I'LL JUST MEET MY MOM AND LEAVE, WILL YOU GUYS HELP ME?"
"WELL IF YOUR MOM IS THE ONLY REASON OF YOUR RETURNING IN BLACK FLAME CITY, THEN IT WOULD BE A WASTE THEN."VINCE SAID."AUNT TOLD US THAT IF YOU EVER CAME BACK, SHE TOLD US TO TELL YOU THAT SHE WILL BE LOOKING FOR YOUR FATHER."
"YEAH, LUCKILY WE FOUND YOU BEFORE YOU GOT BACK TO BLACK FLAME CITY, IF NOT, IT'S A TROUBLE."JAY SAID.
"WHY WOULD MOM LEAVE?!IT'S DANGEROUS!"I SHOUTED.
"HEY CALM DOWN."VINCE SAID."SHE WON'T GONNA DO SOMETHING RECKLESS, WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH SHE LOVE YOU, SPECIALLY YOU, YOU KNOW SHE'LL NOT GONNA SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU UPSET."
"YEAH, MAYBE SHE HAS SOMETHING IN MIND, TRUST YOUR MOM."JAY ADDED.
I TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND SAID."I GUESS YOUR RIGHT.'MOM, WHAT ARE YOU UO TO?WELL WHATEVER IT IS, I'LL SUPPORT YOU JUST LIKE HOW YOU SUPPORT ME, BUT PLEASE, BE SAFE.'I THOUGHT IN MY MIND.
"THEN, I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO GO THERE."I SAID.
"WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?"VINCE ASKED.
"I'LL CONTINUE MY TRAINING IN THE WISP FOREST."I ANSWERED.
"WHAT?!"JAY AND VINCE IN UNISON.
"IT'S NEAR THE ELVEN CITY."VINCE SAID."DON'T BE RECKLESS."
"DON'T WORRY, THEY WON'T ATTACK ME AS LONG AS I DON'T ATTACK FIRST."I SAID.
"THEN, WE'LL GO WITH YOU, WE CAN'T AFFORD YOU GO MISSING AGAIN."JAY SAID.
"DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE CAREFUL."I SAID."WHAT I WANT FOR YOU GUYS TO DO IS, TELL THE OTHERS ABOUT ME, BUT DON'T MAKE IT PUBLIC."
"IF YOU SAY SO, BUT LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH."VINCE SAID.
"LET'S DO THAT."I ANSWERED.
WE SPEND THE WHOLE DAY TALKING ABOUT HOW NELO CREATED THE "INFINITY BLADE" AND HOW IT BECAME ONE OF THE MAIN FORCES IN BLACK FLAME CITY.
THE NEXT DAY, WE BID OUR FAIRWELL, I TOLD THEM THAT I'LL BE IN UNDERGROUND CITY A YEAR FROM NOW, THEY DECIDED TO INVITE THE WHOLE "INFINITY BLADE" MEMBERS TO MEET ME THERE.
AND THEN, I STARTED MY JOURNEY TO THE WISP FOREST.
