Chapter 5 - Along the way

'I had a dream '

It was mid-afternoon and there were only a few more hours till the sunset.

I walked across a rocky path to a tavern on the other side.

*Knock*

*Knock*

*Knock*

Silence greeted me and the tavern door creaked open. An aura of despair filled me as I walked in. Almost immediately a nickname for the tavern came into my mind.

'Tavern of lost souls'

I walked up to the counter knowing I was arousing attention to myself. There were no stools to sit in so I stood.

Almost immediately a face appears and asked the obvious question

"What do you want?"

There was something different about him he looked a bit older than me but he was bright like a beacon in the ocean of Darkness.

"A soda, pls"

He looked at me like I had a death wish then the others started laughing and a burly man said

"Kid this isn't the place for sodas, I'm afraid we have to ask you to leave"

Sheesh, a tavern without a soda in the middle of the world no wonder it has such a bad reputation.

"Of course,"

I still stood at the counter waiting for him to make the first move. He sighed and bellowed.

"I SAID GET OUT OF HERE!"

He made a punch at me slow enough for me to dodge it but hard enough for it to break the countertop.

The boy watched in fear at the display of violence.

I could beat this man. He wasn't as fast as Green, and it seemed he fought with his whole body.

His torso clenched and he shot a kick at me luckily he had short stubby legs so it didn't really make an impact on me.

I might as well just end this now. I pulled out my short sword and lunged for him going for a critical part of his body.

What the- he was dead already, then I realized there wasn't any blood on my sword. The body fell and I saw her.

Green in a flash of Red.
