Chapter 12: Around the Campfire
Shaosu, Shadow, Lorna and Pan, and Naomi all stepped out of the Moon gate, the night air of Dunbarton filled their noses, and Shaosu yawned and knew it was time for sleep. Lorna and Naomi went to get food while Shaosu went to get firewood. He took out his gathering axe and began chopping the tree; he got five pieces of firewood and went back to their camp spot.
Shaosu suddenly felt his head aching again, he dropped the fire wood and clutched his head, and another vision filled his head:
He saw what looked like Dugald Aisle before him. He saw a bunch of bears beating up kids, a man with a raccoon-like fur hat with a tail, sleeveless shirt and carried an axe stood before him. "Get away Hell Knight!" Tracy said. Shaosu realized he was looking through the Knight's eyes. The Knight swung his sword and Tracy was sent flying into the tree. The Knight walked away...towards Dunbarton.
Shaosu snapped back to reality, panting and sweating, his amulet was glowing fiercely then dimmed. "That's new" he said looking at the amulet. 'But this means the Knight is on his way' Shaosu realized. He shook off the vision, picked up the wood, then returned to camp. He found Shadow resting in the grass with Pan trotting back and forth. "Man I'm starving, where's Lorna with the food?" Pan asked. "Patience pan, they will return, now help me with the fire" Shaosu said and began piling up the wood.
Lorna and Naomi returned with food they got from Glenis's restaurant as Shaosu got the fire started. "About time, let's eat!" Pan said. They all laughed and began eating. After eating their dinner they sat around the fire, for a while no one spoke until they heard something in the bushes. "Who's there?" Shaosu asked taking out his claymore. "Hold it I'm a friend!" a voice said coming out of the bushes.
A boy and a girl, both with red hair, the boy had blue eyes and the girl had brown eyes, the boy wore a white and black robe with a blue symbol on it and had a claymore on his shoulder, the girl had a brown robe and also had a claymore. "Lovestoast! Boss! What are you doing here?" Shaosu asked. "Duncan asked us to join you in the journey, and you know that when we join, the guild joins too." Lovestoast said.
"Oh guys, this is Lovestoast, my friend and guild mate and Imtoast, our boss of the guild" Shaosu said. They exchanged hellos and sat with them around the fire. "So, what's going on?" Shaosu asked. "We got word that the Knight passed by the logging camp, we found dead bodies of people training there and Tracy was out cold, we took him to Tir Choniall, if we're right, the Knight will be here tomorrow morning" Imtoast said.
Shaosu realized the vision he had actually happened. He told the rest about the vision and they were shocked. "But how is that possible?" Naomi asked. "The amulet you said was glowing after the vision right?" Lovestoast asked. "Yeah, why?" Shaosu asked. "Hmm, I don't know but maybe it has something to do with this" Lovestoast said. "We should get some sleep, if the Knight is coming tomorrow, we should be rested in case we have to fight him" Shaosu said.
They all agreed and went to sleep, soon the fire died out, leaving only embers in the wood. Shaosu was the only person up, staring at the embers that floated up into the sky, he thought about his vision, he then remembered the reason why he fights, he remembered what happened years ago when he was little:
A house was burning to the ground, a boy about 8 years old stood before the fire, he cried as the home was being burned. The bodies of his parents were behind him, but they were dead, both had sword slashes along their bodies. The boy looked at the flames and saw the silhouette of a man wielding a large Claymore walking out of the flames. Shaosu stepped back and soon ran, tears streaming down his eyes, "Please I don't want to die!" he yelled.
He soon tripped and fell to the ground, he turned around and the man stood before him, his armor was black with ash and soot, his red eyes looked at Shaosu. The man turned away and walked off. "I will let you live today, but never forget this day. When you have become stronger, come and find me" the man said and disappeared. Shaosu gripped his hands into a fist and yelled to the sky in rage, the full moon loomed over the house and the boy as he screamed in rage.
Shaosu opened his eyes, 'a dream…' he thought. But Shaosu knew it wasn't a dream, but it actually happened in his past back home. 'That man…that man!' Shaosu thought angrily. Tears of pure rage streamed down his face as he balled his hand into a fist, 'I will kill that man…one day' he thought. Unbeknownst to him, an image of Nao was watching from behind Naomi. 'Shaosu…' she thought and shed a tear.
