When Hope Fails

Chapter 14

"Pass Time"

"What is this?" Russel asked as Raguna and Camus stepped into his library, "Is that... solabom?!"

"Yep, we're trying to bring it back!" Camus responded, "You think we can play it in the camp?"

"Sure... Lukas should be done giving drills.." Russel said as he looked at his clock, "But we don't have the ring wall any more, Godwin had it demolished because it was a safety hazard."

"Drat... No solabom." Camus grumbled,

"Hey! I have a solution!" Raguna said, "What about we take the goals idea from the sport Lynette was talking about and add it to solabom?"

"Are you talking about sochar?" Russel asked "Why don't we just play sochar and not solabom?"

"But..." Camus said and finally sighed in defeat, "Fine..."

00(Ethelbert's Forces...)00

"I thought the lair of Terrable was guarded by a giant locked door that could only be opened by a special key." the Supreme Commander told Ethelbert, "Does my lord know where it is?"

"I don't know... But with force, I can find out." Ethelbert chuckled,

"I was also reading more on the Terrable Myth and f-"

"Myth?" Ethelbert interrupted, "I can assure you Terrable is real. Now continue..."

"Well, my lord.." the Supreme Commander continued, "It said that you need a special emblem for Terrable to grant your decrees... Where can we find it?"

"Do you really not know?" Ethelbert chuckled, "Do you not remember 10 years ago?"

"Not really, my lord." the commander said, "Pray you remind me."

"Oh boy.." Ethelbert sighed, "Do you not remember the seige of Akioch?"

"The great Norad city? Sure." the commander said,

"That city had the emblem... though I later found out the royal family sent it away in the custody of common people so we couldn't find it..." Ethelbert explained, "However, some how, call it fate or whatnot, that little girl Lynette held it... I was much surprised to see such a small child held such an important artifact, so I had no choice but to take her in. See?" he said and pulled out the emblem from his chest.

"Ah... Now you will certainly get your wish." the commander chuckled.

00(Later that night in Kardia...)00

"I'm exhausted.." Raguna groaned, "That game was incredible.."

"Only because you blocked the final goal." Camus chuckled, "Plus, I must admit sochar is pretty amazing... Not like solabom, but it comes close."

"Well, I'm home, thanks for walking me, mom." Raguna taunted and ran to his house.

"What the?!" Raguna said as he walked in, seeing a new bed in his house,

"Oh, hey Raguna!" Lynette said as she walked over, "Do you like it?"

"If you're talking about the brand new bed that took away my old one... I don't know.." Raguna mumbled, "How'd you..."

"I got it from a man named Ivan.." Lynette explained, "It's a double bed! He gave it to me for cheap too!"

"But my old bed.." Raguna said sadly, "It was incredible... I could sleep the whole day on it..."

"Oh, but this one is better." Lynette explained, "We can both sleep on it!"

"That's nice and all, but there is one little flaw.." Raguna said, "We're not married!"

"So what? No one will know." Lynette told him,

"I can't, Lynette.." Raguna mumbled, "We already... you know.. out of wedlock... I can't do this."

"Oh... ok.." Lynette mumbled, "I understand."

"But you can still sleep in it! I'll just rest on my sleeping bag." Raguna reassured Lynette and then patted her shoulder and gave her a kiss on the lips.

"Thanks." Lynette smiled.

The next days were slow, drills were done by the generals, the villagers went about their business and everything was peaceful, for no one knew what storm was heading their way.

Ethelbert's forces made their way across the land towards Kardia like a tempest, they were ready to drag the town to its knees.

That Ethelbert is coming! Better watch out Raguna! Also, please Review! I would love it if you all did!
