Chapter 7: Surprise

Jim: You ain't going anywhere!

Kit: Uncle Jim! We ARE! We came this far on our own!

Jim: YOU CAUSED THE QUARRY TO BE BLOCKED FORM BOTH ENDS!

Aithne: That's my fault…

Jr.: Either way, you're going to need some help whether it's from us or not.

Jim: Jr! Not you too!

Jr.: They're determined Jim, just like she was. You know you want to be the man you were when she was around, ready to fight.

Jim remembered back to when the other Keira was alive, he remembered how he was then, spunky, all around clown, cared more about family than

anything else, but always fought for them in the end.

Jim: … your right… let's go!

They left the caverns and went to the dock when Erisa appeared.

Erisa: Well well, look what the trash dug up, the Kinover gang.

Kit: Bring it! We'll take you on –

Jim: Let me… I haven't fought in so long…

She nodded and stepped back, letting Jim reclaim what he lost, his old self.

Jim: C'mon! Bring it!

Erisa: With pleasure…

She dove toward him, he blocked with his broadsword. He spun with his heavy broadsword and their weapons clashed and made a clanging sound. He

jumped over her and from behind he slashed her across her back, her blood pouring a glorious scarlet, so wet it tainted the sand. She growled and

disappeared. Jim's broadsword gleamed with her bright blood in the sunlight. He smiled his smile that only she would know and be proud of, the sunlight

shined on him, and he heard a soft, warm voice saying: 'I'm proud of you my son.' He smiled to himself, and whispered to the voice 'Thank you…mom'. The

others knew what was going on, and didn't intend on disturbing his moment with Keira. Jr. looked in the sky and whispered: 'You have a great legacy here

Keira.' From there, their bond together was stronger, and up in the heavens above, Keira watched, and she smiled over them, proud of what they have

become and done.
