Chapter 4: The Beginning of an Adventure


Blu woke up next morning, completely refreshed and ready for the day.

Blu walked to the kitchen, where Adam and Sofia were cooking as usual.

"Hello Blu." They both greeted him as Blu walked in.

"Getting better." Blu thought in his head. "Good morning." Blu greeted back, as he sat down to eat.

Blu, as always, was thinking about what to do during the day and well he just wanted to keep practicing his skills.

With breakfast finished, Blu went to get Sally, who also finished eating.

"Alright girl, today is just another normal day." Blu said as he put on Sally's armor and then went to get his armor on.

When Blu finished with that he got Sally and the two, again, went for Blu to practice.

Today, however, would be different, for a group of soldiers came to Blu's home. The leader of the group knocked on the door.

Sofia opened it. "Can I help you gentlemen?"

"Yes." The leader replied. "Is Sir Blu here, we would like to talk with him."

"Let me get his mother."

Mary, Blu's mother, was knitting in the living room when Sofia came in.

"My lady." Sofia bowed. "There is a group of gentlemen at the door who want to see Sir Blu."

"I see, thank you, Sofia." Mary said and went to the door.

"Hello my lady." The leader bowed. "Is your son home?"

"He is practicing right now. Follow me."

And Mary and the soldiers went to Blu, who was riding Sally and slicing fruits with his sword.

Mary saw her son and put on a smile.

"Blu!" Mary shouted. "There are some gentlemen who want to talk with you."

"Coming!" Blu shouted. "Come on girl." Blu said softly to Sally.

When Blu got there, he got off of Sally and patted her on the back. "Go take a break girl."

"Can I help you gentlemen?" Blu asked.

"Not us, the king needs your help." The leader said, while Blu put on a curious look.

The leader continued. "Princess Jewel has been kidnapped and the king is calling for all knights to come. There he will pick who gets to go to save her."

"I see, well there is no time to lose. I will go immediately." Blu said in determination.

After the soldiers left, Blu prepared all the things he would need to go. Blu was nervous, this would be the first time he would go on a mission for the kingdom and truthfully Blu was scared. But he knew that he had to put those feelings away.

Blu, in a few hours, was all ready to go.

But before Blu mounted Sally, he looked at his father's picture hanging in the living room, looking all brave and determined while holding his sword and shield.

Then Blu went to his father's grave.

Blu took a deep breath and spoke. "Hi dad, it finally happened. I'm finally going on my first mission for the kingdom. I wish you could see me, I want for you to tell me how proud you are. And to tell me that I will do a great job."

Blu wiped away a tear before finishing. "I love you father and I will return to tell you all about it.

Blu then walked away and went to Sally, who was waiting for her master.

"Okay girl, you ready?"

Sally replied happily and licked Blu's face.

"That's what I thought, okay let's go."

Before Blu could go, however, he saw his mother running up to him holding a sword and shield. But Blu did have his sword and shield, so what was his mother carrying?

Mary came up, holding Blu's father's sword and shield.

"You forgot these, my son."

"But mom, those are dad's, I can't…"

"He would want you to have it, I know so." Mary said as she put out the sword and shield.

"You sure?"

"Yes, that way a piece of your father is with you, take it."

And Blu took the sword and shield. "Thank you mom. I will return." Blu smiling down at his mother.

"I know you will, make me and your father proud."

Blu again wiped away a tear. "Sally let's go girl."

And Sally started running and Blu was on his way to King Eduardo's castle.
