Chapter 4
I am handing this story over to my friend Razgriz Leader, he is Brandon in the story.
The Zodiac Spear
Sara was looking at her boyfriend, Brandon with shocked eyes. "John?" John was holding the dark red sword. Sara looked like she was going to be sick, and this was worrying Brandon. "What's wrong, Sweetheart? And John?" John looked at Brandon. John, who was 6'3" tall, stared down at Brandon, who was only an inch shorter than himself.
"Yeah? Is it about the guns or the swords? And what the fuck is going on with us?!" His question went unanswered as Sara was puking. Brandon was comforting her.
"Budd, I am not doing that again. I don't like that sword John has, it has a bad feel to it." Brandon let out a "hm" and wiped off Sara's lips with his light tan shirt. He then kissed her. Brandon looked around to get the posse's bearings. He noticed a small library.
"Let's go there." Avo's Tear rang as they approached the old library. 'What is going on with us?' He was about to get his answer.
The group got to the library; Brandon opened the door and darkness was what greeted him. "Hello?!" His voice echoed off of the walls. "Wait here." He told John and Sara. Brandon pulled out his black Desert Eagle and turned the safety off. As he wandered the halls, a mysterious light appeared at the end of the long hall. He put his gun away and unsheathed Avo's Tear. 'Who in their insane mind would be here alone?'
'Well, it seems one of the chosen ones has come, I am the Gulidmaster.' Brandon stopped in his tracks, but Sara and John were behind him. "Where are you?!"
"Right here, young one." And in front of the three of them was a man, no more than 50, staring at them in the Guildmaster garb. "It seems that the Hero has resurrected the evilest of heroes in all of Albion's history, the Jack of Blades. That is the reason you two have the swords of the Great One. John." John stepped forward.
"Yeah?"
"You hold the darkest of weapons, the infamous Sword of Aeons. It's powered by two souls, the Hero's mother, Scarlet Rose, and his sister Theresa. He killed them to gain the ultimate power. And Brandon?" The 16 year old walked forward and sheathed Avo's Tear. "You hold the holiest of weapons, Avo's Tear. It was forged to combat the Sword of Aeons, as it has done for many ages."
"Why us?" Brandon asked Guildmaster.
"You carry his blood, both of you. But fair warning, the road ahead is a difficult one. It is full of peril, so take Sara home using this, then come back." He handed the boys Guild Seals.
"Thanks. And tell us, who is the Jack of Blades?" John said as he took his Guild Seal. The boys teleported back to Lincoln, Nebraska.
They took Sara home...after Sara finished puking her guts out on the sidewalk. After that the boys teleported back to the Guildmaster. "So, you two did come back. I researched the Jack of Blades and all the remaining God Weapons. He seems to be after the Zodiac Spear."
"What is that?" The boys asked him.
"Hmhmhmhm, it is the most powerful weapon ever forged. It was made from diamond, sapphire, and marble. It was used to kill a great king, and Jack absorbed his soul into the spear, after that he cast away the two Swords. The two swords that were cast into the abyss of Hell were the swords you two carry."
"What is the Spear?" John asked.
"It was forged by a human, but when the Master, as he is called, died, Avo took the Spear to Heaven. But Skorm didn't like it, and waged a war to control the Spear. With the war raging, two swords were made by the Master's decendents, they were the Sword of Aeons and Avo's Tear." The boys and Sara listened to the immortal Guildmaster's story with great intent. They listened to him explain how the Zodiac Spear would be able to defeat the Swords.
"So the swords we carry are weak next to the Spear?" Brandon asked in an indifferent tone. He looked at John and back to the Guildmaster.
"Somewhat, they are not as strong as the Zodiac Spear, because the Spear has been blessed by Avo and coveted Skorm, thus giving it power to destroy anything or save the Earth. I know this because I have spent the last 555 years studying the weapons of the Old, New, and Modern Kingdoms." Brandon and John unsheathed their respected swords and showed them to the Guildmaster. "I see that the Sword of Aeons is getting weak." The Guildmaster ran his finger against the blades of the Sword. "It won't cut my finger, I recommend seeing a man in the Guild. It is outside of the city of Carlisle. You two will find it to be very cozy. And Brandon, I think you should stay away from anything that the Tear glows against. It means evil is there." The boy nodded and John and Brandon teleported to the Guild.
