Chapter 2 - A New Beginning

*Somewhere within a Grassy plain filled with Mountains that were aiming for the skies and Sunny skies filled with clouds that looked similar to cotton candy. Kichiro awakened to a place he'd never been to, yet it felt so familiar to him.*

"Uggggggh...my head", said Kichiro.

*Kichiro's head starts to bang as if someone took a hammer and kept bashing it through his skull.*

Kichiro screamed in pain, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

*Having one of the most painful headaches he's ever experienced, Kichiro eventually fell unconscious from the extreme amount of pain until he was awakened by loud tremors and roars."

Confused and frightened Kichiro rushed to his feet and wondered, "Where did that sound come from!?"

*Looking up into the skies the clouds eventually start to darken and rain started to pour, turning the once sunny breathtaking grassy plains into a now gloomy desolate wasteland.*

Even more confused than ever, he forgot all about the headache that he recently attacked him a few moments before.*

Kichiro asked himself, "Huh? Why did it start to rain?"

*Hearing screams of people coming from the west Kichiro thought it was maybe kids playing since the screams were too high pitched to be adults but, after the screaming got closer and closer the source of the screaming seemed to be coming from a grown man who was equipped with weapons, a shield, armor and other sorts of equipment.*

Shocked Kichiro said to himself, "Where did this grown man come from, and why is he screaming?" as the man who was screaming got closer and closer to Kichiro he thought to himself, "Why the hell is he wearing armor and carrying around a sword?!" mockingly Kichiro added, "What is this? The 1400's?!"

*As the grown man got closer it was visible that he was critically injured, and whatever he was fighting made the armor look like it was made of paper*

The traumatized grown man said to Kichiro while running past him, "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, THE DRAGON KILLED THEM ALL!", confused Kichiro replied, "A dragon?", needing confirmation of what he just heard he asked the man, "Are you sure it was a Dragon?"

Not even a second after Kichiro asked the question the traumatized grown man exclaimed angrily, "YES, YES IT WAS!"

*Kichiro wanted to ignore the man thinking he was crazy or he was pulling a prank on him but eventually, he looked at his options and realized he had no other choice and had nowhere to go, so Kichiro ran in the direction that the man ran from.*

Kichiro said to himself," A dragon? Come on...if you wanna scare people you must be able to come up with something better than th-"

*As his train of thought came to a halt Kichiro was flabbergasted upon seeing multiple dead bodies lying along the walking trail, some slashed, burnt, and bitten into.*

Shocked by the gruesome sight Kichiro said out loud, "What the hell happened to these guys?"

*Kichiro continued walking further along the trail and as he walked more and more the number of bodies also increased.*

In denial, Kichiro said to himself, "There's no way, it's not possible, A...A...A...A DRAGON KILLED THESE PEOPLE!"

*Kichiro decided to start running instead of walking hoping this would allow him to get to the end of the trail faster and leave the gruesome sight to call for help but, when Kichiro started running he realized that he was running faster than he usually does.*

Confused Kichiro says to himself, "How am I running this fast?!"

*The distance that Kichiro ran a distance which would take professional athletes 10 minutes, took him 55 seconds.*

Kichiro's face filled ith joy and excitement, as he exclaimed, "I finally got out of there!"

*Upon remembering what his objective was he continued running which eventually led him to a burnt-down and crumbled kingdom.*

Flabbergasted he said to himself, "How...How...Dammit!"

Filled with anger and regret Kichiro exclaimed, "If only I had been a little bit more open-minded and believed the man at the beginning maybe I would've been here to assist the people here!"

(Kichiro is a kind person who will help anyone when they ask for help, he will go as far as to achieve the impossible just to have the feeling of knowing he helped make someone's life better)

*Load tremors and roars came from a forest nearby and Kichiro undoubtedly thought it was the dragon who killed the people he found on the trail and the one who destroyed the kingdom, he scavenged through the rubbles of the destroyed kingdom looking for a weapon and found a black-handled sword with a silver blade and a black sheath.*

Satisfied with the weapon he found he said out loud, "This will do this trick."

Running off towards the sounds in the forest he stopped and took one last look at the destroyed kingdom and said to himself, "I will avenge you all...NO MATTER WHAT!"
