Chapter 4 Birth of the Guardians
A few hours pass as they travel on the wagon. Gardon is driving by steering the horse, Blaze is fast asleep and Marine is bored out of her mind. Finally she took out Sara log book and started to read.
*Flashback*
We find Sara and Blaze training on the beach. "Good! Your improving very well. Now show me your fire boost Blaze!". "yes!". Blaze started to run and fire burst out and her speed increase. "good job! That move isn't just for speed but can be use as a attack as well" spoke Sara as she boost next to Blaze. As both of them stop running, Sara spotted a tall palm tree and turn to Blaze. "okay! See that palm tree there. I want you to use the axel jump to reach the top". Blaze look up and became uneasy. "…all the way up there?". "yeah. Is there something wrong?". "no…there nothing wrong". Blaze started to run and did the axel jump and reach the top of the tree. "alright Blaze! Now come down". Blaze look down and became dizzy and grab the tip of the tree. "huh? What's wrong?". "I'm scared!" yelled Blaze as she hold on tight of the tree even more. Sara sigh and burst hover to the tip of the tree and got her down. "why didn't you tell me your afraid of heights?". "…it makes me look weak…". Sara said nothing and walk over to her. Blaze felt Sara hand on her shoulder. "everyone has fears of something. Telling others about your fear won't make you look weak but make you stronger but hiding it will…okay lets end our training here for today. Lets head back to the temple". Sara pick her backpack up and was about leave till Blaze block in her path. "what's wrong now Blaze?". "…can we…stay the night here?". "why?". Blaze look down in sadness and spoke. "well you see, I never been at a beach before and…". "I understand. You never been out of the castle have you?". "its because of my powers…I heard stories about how the people hate and fear the guardians. My parents fear if the people learn how their next ruler was a guardian, there could be a uprising like when the "protector of Sol" group attack the temple of elders because they hated the order of the guardians. that's why I couldn't leave the castle grounds". "yes I remember that dark day…that's when I became the current guardian…okay we'll stay for the night. I'll set up camp while you get the food". Blaze smiled and ran off and found a sharp long tree branch and started to fish. As night time arrived, the only fish Blaze was able to catch was just one. "I think next time I'll do the fishing" said Sara as she cook the fish. "sorry…". "its okay Blaze. Here eat up". Sara toss the fish over to Blaze. "aren't you going to eat?". "its okay. I'm not that hungry anyway". Sara watch as Blaze ate the fish and lay down on the cool beach sand. "I can't eat a other bite!". Blaze watch as the stars move across the dark sky. "for some reason, the stars looks more beautiful here than at the castle". "tell me Blaze, do you know which stars makes up the goddess?" ask Sara as she lay next to her. Blaze search the starry sky and pointed to a group of stars. "those seven red stars right?". "yes your right. Do you know why we worship her?". "…no". "well legend states that when our world was made a long time ago, it was visited by a young goddess. Our planet at the time was lifeless and cold. The goddess warm our world and life grew. Soon people walk the land and started to worship the goddess. The goddess created the seven sol emeralds which has her powers and gave it to the people to use to protect the world from evil. The goddess then flew into the heavens and became our sun. that's why we call her "Goddess of Sol" Blaze". "wow…but Sara, why do people fear or hate us? We protect the goddess gift from those who would misuse it right?". "well Blaze, after the goddess left her gift to us, a group of wisemen created a order called "Sons of the Sol". every time a baby was born, they are bought to the temple of gift and was bless by the emeralds…well that's what they said to the people but a monk from the order reveal the truth what the order was doing for real. The order was infusing the power from the emeralds into the babies, so they could create a unstoppable army. With a army they could have rule the world. The monk gather a army and attack the order. This was the first war of sol. The war lasted nine years and the monk and his army came on top. The monk created the order of the guardians. Ten years pass after the war and there was peace…in till few people question why those who was infuse with the power of the goddess wasn't punish by death for stealing the power. Of cause it wasn't their fault they had power over fire but people started to fear them as their numbers grew. Soon half of Solar was divided. Soon the second Sol war started. There was many deaths on both sides. The sky people of Aiur who was neutral during the war left Solar and headed north. Soon the war ended in six years. The guardians won but at a cost. Before the war, people who didn't fear or hated them was on their side but now they was fear and hated by many who use to be on their side. Fear for their power as they burn down towns and burn people to death during the war. Hated for stealing a power they didn't want. that's why people hate or fear us Blaze". "so that's why…". Blaze got up and watch the waves hit the shore. Just then Blaze quickly turned to her right. "what's wrong Blaze?" ask Sara as she got up from ground. "…something wrong…in that duration…". "I don't sense…wait! I feel it now! Lets go!". Sara and Blaze fire boost in till they both saw a small fishing town. "this is Pear Reef town!" said Sara. Soon Sara and Blaze could see the town folks being gather at the square by a group of pigs. "…it's Link the pig and his raider gang "Pig of War". Raynor warn me about them…". "lets go!". Blaze was about to run off but Sara stop her. "hold on! We're out number here! I need to send a message to the Knights for back up!". "by the time they arrive, it will be too late!". Sara didn't say anything and took out a robot bird and wrote a message on the computer screen on the back of the bird and release it. The bird took off as a jet and Sara turned to Blaze. "…Blaze you said you want to protect your people right?". "yes! I meant it!". "…even if it means you might die doing so?". "I don't care if I die! I'll happily die for them!". Sara said nothing and return to her backpack and took out two sol emeralds. "okay then! Lets save your people!".
