Of Flame and Of Light: Skip to the Last
By: M14Mouse
Summary: Nick decides that it is time to go. Master Swoop gives him one more piece of advice.
Disclaimer: Don't own them.
Nick threw the last piece of his clothes in his back pack. He looked over his temporary room to make sure that he didn't forget anything.
"You're leaving," Master Swoop stated.
"Yes…I think that I am done here. I know what I need to do. I'm going to follow Chip's way of thinking for a bit," He said.
"What is that?"
"Stop thinking so much and just do. I have twisted myself up into knots about this and I can barely think straight. No matter how much I hit it with a hammer, I still haven't cracked it. I have talked it out with you, the others, and the whole world. The only thing that I have gotten from it is a headache."
"So, how are you going to do it?"
He thought about it for a moment. He didn't want to insult Master Swoop. He seemed like a good guy.
"I will drag both of sets of parents into a room and talk. No more running away. I will spell the room if I have too. While we are at, throw the knights in the room to do the same thing. No more damn waiting for me to be some savoir. They need to be their own. I am going to tell dad that I want to be a knight. I am going to take a real date with Maddie. Find Chip and find out what he found about the creepy kingdom and Zaria," He said as the words rush out of him.
"Everything else?" Master Swoop said.
Master Swoop tilted his head. He swore that he was smiling but Master Swoop had an awesome poker face.
He laughed.
"I'm getting on with my damn life and stop letting people pull me in different directions."
"Sound like a reasonable goal. I have some advice if you are willing to hear it."
He nodded his head.
"Expressing the desire to do but you must follow through." Master Swoop said.
"I plan too."
Master Swoop nodded his head.
"Then I wish you well on your journey."

First thing he did when he got home was take a shower. Dustin put his bike in a weird place. Although, he had to say that it was well protected from the elements. So, he should thank the guy for that. Second thing, he wanted to find Chip. He wasn't avoiding his family. No, he wanted to Chip his plan. Sure, he could tell the others and they would support him. Knight stuff was better to talk to someone was going through the same thing.
The best person was to talk to about that was Catalina. She knew where everyone was. Luckily, she didn't get him too much grief. She just tilted her head and smile slightly.
"Welcome back. Chip is at the Huntsmen's main camp," She said.
"Okay…thanks," He said as he was about to turn around then he stopped.
"How do I get there?"
She laughed and made him a map before he left again. As he walked away, he briefly stopped. Wait, how did she know that he was looking for Chip?
He thought better not to turn back and to ask.

He really shouldn't be surprised that he found Chip in a middle of battle with weird black things or he was fighting along what he guess what were the Huntsmen. What was surprised by getting tackled to ground by Chip and nearly his head got taken off.
"Nick, hey! How are you? Did everything work out with Master Swoop? How is Dustin?" Chip said a mile a minute.
"I'm great. Although, what in the world is going on?" He asked.
"Uh…Shadows?"
He gave him a look. Chip looked a little sheepish.
Oh, boy
