Dear Reader,
I have never played Four Swords, but I have read and enjoyed the Manga edition written by Akira Himekawa. So, for all of you hardcore gamers, I apologize for anything that may not be related to the game. Please enjoy Red's Adventure.
"Red! Stop bugging me," shouted Blue as he stormed around the castle room.
"But I just wanted to play a game."
"Enough! Go bother someone else," said Blue as he stomped out of the room.
"Okay," whimpered Red as his lip quivered.
Red slowly walked into the next room where Vio sat studying a map.
"Hey, Vio,"
"What is it Red?" mumbled Vio as he glanced back and forth form the map to a book.
"Umm, I was wondering…would you like to…"
"Red," Vio cut in, "I'm very busy trying to locate something for the princess. If it's related to that, then I can help. If not, I can't leave my work right now."
"Oh, uh, okay," said Red as he ducked his head and headed to the next room.
"Green!" shouted Red as he ran toward him. Green continued to spare with a straw dummy.
"What is it, Red?"
"Are you busy?"
"What does it look like, Red? It's not like I do this for fun. I must work out to stay in shape. What if the princess was attacked? No one wants a weak leader!" Green lunged at his fake enemy and stabbed it in the chest. The dummy fell backwards. "Victory!" shouted Green.
"Uh, I'll just come back later," said Red slowly as he backed out of the room. "Well," he said aloud as he walked back to his room, "if they don't want me around, I just won't be around." Red packed himself a small bag of food, grabbed an ice wand, and sheathed his sword. As he left the castle, he glanced back. They'll be happier without me around, he thought to himself as the sun began to set. They won't even miss me. He sighed and headed into the dark forest.
