The Heir appears
A/N: SEASON 2 OF LEGEND OF KORRA IS FINALLY OUT ASDFGHJKLZXCVB N$T!F
Ahem, what? Oh right, I want to thank you guys. When I was feeling down you pushed me back up with your lovely reviews and I really appreciate that. Also, the noble I mentioned in the last chapter wasn't Eridan; it was the guy from chapter 2 that John insulted :p just to clarify that because you all thought I was talking about Eridan.
Chapter 7
"I'm going to ask you one more time," John said in a low, threatening voice, "Where. Are. My. Sisters?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, sire. Who would ever dare to hurt your family with how powerful you are," the noble mocked; a malicious grin spread on his face.
Dave slammed a fist against the wall, "I'm sick of your games, you power hungry aristocrat. What the hell did you do?"
"I was just talking to some people. I didn't act at all, I just spoke⦠And provided wages," he sat back and crossed his arms.
Bro stepped forward, "You know what this means don't you?" He raised a hand pointing his fingers like a gun at the noble, "Boom." A strand of orange flame burst from his fingers, tying the old man's hands together.
"What are you doing?!" The noble yelled, struggling and wincing when the flames burned his wrists.
"I wouldn't struggle if I were you; those flames only behave as well as who they're binding. You will be taken for questioning, until this is resolved, you are stripped of your noble status," Bro announced, motioning for two guards to take him away.
John leaned over to Dave, "Does he have the authority to do that?"
"Yeah, Bro is a prince, too. The Prince of Heart. 'Heart' is just a sub-category under fire along with time which is what I am," Dave replied.
"Whoa, can you control time or something?" John asked, astounded.
Dave thought for a minute, "I'm not really sure. I haven't gotten to that point in my training."
"John, Dave, pack your things," Bro stated, cutting into their conversation.
The two looked at the older boy, confused looks on their faces.
"Well? Don't you want to find your sisters?"
"Wait!" a voice yelled.
The three boys turned around to see Porrim and Dolorosa running towards them wearing traveling clothes and carrying bags.
"We're coming with you," Porrim said.
"What? No, we stand out enough as it is. Two fraternal twins are going to make that worse," Bro explained.
Dolorosa crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow and pursing her lips, "Oh yeah? And what if you get seriously injured or sick? And what if when you find John's sister's and they're hurt and on the verge of death? Do you know what to do in those kinds of situations?"
Bro pressed a hand to his forehead and groaned, "Fine. I admit you make a good argument. You two will ride in the wagon with the supplies. John, Dave, you two will be on horseback next to the wagon. I'll be driving."
"But Bro, wouldn't it be safer if John were in the wagon?" Dave asked.
"You still have a lot to learn, lil' man. That's probably the most dangerous place for him to be. Any assassins that attack will hit the wagon first, assuming that we would hide him there. If that ever happens, I want you to take John and run. Always go west when you do. If we can get away, we'll catch up with you."
Dave nodded, accepting the task even though he didn't want to think of leaving his brother behind.
Bro pulled out a map, "We'll head to Slums first and check John's old house first for any clue as to where his sister's might have been taken. After that, we'll head to where ever it is they were taken and see if we can catch up with the caravan."
The other four nodded and went back to packing their things. After they were packed, John went to mount his horse. He was not exactly fond of horses. Well, it's more like they weren't very fond of him.
Dave chuckled when he saw John looking at the horse cautiously, "Dude it's just a horse. Besides, I figured this would be your first time riding, so I picked the mellowest horse in the stables."
John stepped forward placing a hand on the horse's white muzzle, flinching as the horse shook its head. The horse moved forward, connecting with John's hand again. He chuckled and continued to pet the horse.
"Come on we don't have all day, get on the damn horse," Dave chided, picking John up by the waist and setting him on the horses back. John blushed slightly from the contact but didn't say anything.
Dave mounted his horse that was black as smoke while John's was as white as the clouds in the sky.
"Hey Dave, what are these horses names?" John asked, patting his horse's mane.
"Yours is Yin, this is Yang. Kind of ironic right?" he answered with a laugh.
"Opposites, huh? I'm guessing your horse isn't exactly mellow," John chimed.
"Not in the slightest. He doesn't let just anyone ride him," Dave said, "It took forever for me to finally gain his trust. She, on the other hand, lets almost anyone ride her as long as she can see good intentions in their eyes."
"I guess I have good intentions then," John laughed, earning a whiney from Yin.
"Alright, let's move out!" Bro exclaimed, turning the cart onto the main road.
A/N: OMG I found this lovely Dave cosplayer and she lives only an hour away! Maybe she could be my Dave 3
