Ch. 2
Raguna POV
I arrived in front of the so called "Green Ruins" and there were a few guards on the entrance.
"Excuse me…I'd like to enter." I said
"What? Scram kid, this is no place for children." The guard said
"In the news they said anyone could go in there if they wanted to." I replied
"Darn it. I told them not to simply release that info." A man said walking out of the Ruins. "Hello young man. My name is Kain. I'm part of the research group that re-discovered and opened this Ruins. It is in fact true that the ruins will be open for anyone who wants to go in there, but currently us the research group are still investigating in there for any other kind of secrets." The man named Kain.
"Mr. Kain…I'm…My name is Raguna, I'm familiar with the inside of the Ruins." I said.
"What? But you are clearly too young. Maybe about 14 at the least." Kain said "please leave, this place will in fact be open for public use but that will be in about a week's time." Kain said and went back into the ruins.
The guards then told me to leave and I "did." I stayed hidden in some nearby bushes and many people walked by the Green Ruins' entrance some took pictures of the place but none tried to enter.
"We gotta find a way in Kin." I said to my Silver Wolf and the two of us examined the situation…
Normal POV
The research group had just gotten pass the first monster spawning portal and managed to take care of some of the monsters until they made it to the first big farming area…that is after the entrance farming area.
"What do we do now Kain?" A blond man said to Kain
"I know what you mean Dan. We have to be careful I have just noticed that half of the group is extremely exhausted. I can't believe that the small number of squirrels could be that much of a problem." Kain said
"Well believe it Kain. I think it would be much smarter to retreat and come back later with a hunting party actually trained for this things." Dan said and just then more squirrels made their way to the group of researchers along with some giant red ants from the near area.
"Sir we're surrounded! There is no way for us out of here." One of the researchers with hunting experience said.
"I think we took too long in here." Kain said
"Come on Kin!" everyone heard a voice, young Raguna's voice.
"Raguna! What are you going here?" Kain yelled.
"Never-mind me everyone get out of here." Raguna said and continued to slash at the ferocious monsters along with his Silver Wolf.
Raguna POV
I was surrounded. The monsters forgot completely about the research group and started focusing on me.
'Everyone made it out…at least I hope they did' I said to myself.
The group of ants started rushing and I jumped over them and slashed with my new splitting broadsword. I split the sword into two and started fighting the hoard of monsters back. Kin also started attacking the squirrels when we were done with the massive hoard of monsters I told Kin we were gonna go back and it growled understanding what I said.
We made it out of the Ruins in a few minutes and met up with the Research group. Everyone seemed to make it mostly intact, and safe. The guards took the first aid kits to them to treat anyone who got injured in any way.
"Raguna!" Kain yelled at me.
"Y-yes Sir!" I replied a little scared
"That was a reckless action of you, staying behind while we made our getaway. But even so, I still have to give you my thanks." Kain said again and stretched his hand out.
"No problem, I intended to go in there and have some special training." I replied and shook his hand.
"I really would like to thank you. I would like to invite you to dinner at my place. My wife and children would be happy to have you there." Kain said
"I don't know sir…It sounds like a little too much."
"Nonsense. Next week Tuesday? What do you say?" Kain said
"Well if you insist. I'll ask my…" Raguna said and…'If you want to do something, then just do it.' the words his dad said to him rang on his head. "I'll be glad to, but on that day is my B-day and I have something to do."
"Oh? Well how about the day right after that day?" Kain asked
"Sounds good to me." Raguna said
"Then it's settled, next week's Wednesday dinner at my place. Here this is my card. If you need anything call that number or look me up on that address." Kain said "Now thanks for your help but we must be going now." Kain finished and left the place along with his research group and the guards.
"Well Kin, I guess it is time for us to go training." I said and Kin howled agreeing.
Normal POV -hours later-
"Honey? Honey has Raguna come home?" Luna asked
"Not yet, He's maybe on his way back." Ragna said and just then Raguna walked in the front door. "Wow! Speak of the devil!" Ragna said
"I'm Back!" Raguna yelled
"Welcome Back! How was today?" Ragna asked
"It was really cool. I saw a lot of monsters, Squirrels, Giant Red Ants, and I even got to see a wooly." Raguna answered
"How far did you go into the ruins?" Luna asked
"I don't know for sure, but I did make it to the second floor. The monsters were crazy strong, I see why people couldn't make it anywhere near the boss gate." Raguna said again.
Raguna POV
"Well then you might want to hit the shower young man you have dirt all over yourself." My mom said.
After the shower I went into my room and my mom called me for dinner. Once there I asked my dad.
"Hey dad. About Great-Great Gramps' sword you gave me…did he leave any notes or anything on how to use it?"
"Sadly he did not. Your great-great Gramps Raguna created this sword, but he never got to use it. He died a few days later and it has been said by my grandpa that his last words were "only one person would be able to use it with ease." So far only you've been the only one to right away know it was a dual blade. Which leads me to believe you are the one this sword is meant for." My dad said.
"Wow so I really am the one to continue this legacy…I'm just a little curious about what is gonna happen now." I said, after that my parents and I ate quietly and I made my way to my room again. And I remembered. "Oh yeah! I'm going to have dinner next week with Professor Kain of the research group in charge of the Green Ruins." I said
"What? How did you meet him?" My father asked
"When I was going to the Green Ruins some guards didn't let me pass and I guess he heard us arguing outside the ruins so he went out to check. After that I snuck in and ended up saving him and his research team from a hoard of monsters." I explained.
"Wow son. Well good for you, now make sure you make a good impression…with that I mean behave yourself." Mom said
"ok then. I'm going to sleep I want to go to the ruins and train for as long as I can. Maybe I can make it to the so called Boss gate." I said and went to my room.
I went straight for my bed and plopped down on it.
"So great-great gramps made you huh? Is a shame he didn't get to use you. You performed amazingly today, I'm sure he would have used you better." I said talking to the broad sword Dad gave me. "Let's try our best tomorrow." I finished and went to sleep.
The next morning I had a quick breakfast and ran out the door.
"Raguna! Don't forget to be back by lunch." My mom called out.
"Don't worry I'll buy something in town." I said and went to the green ruins again with Kin.
Once in the entrance of the ruins the guards were there again.
"You're back again? Why don't you just go home? If you want to go in here there is still one week 'till opening date." The guard said
"Let him in. Raguna glad you're here, I remembered you said you wanted to train so here you go. A special pass that even if there are guards you can enter as you wish." Kain said
"Sir, are you sure?" the guard said.
"Do you know who was the one that helped us yesterday?" Kain asked
"You mean it was this kid? Yesterday when the media asked you said it was the few people with weapons in the group." The guard said
"What do you think would happen if the media found "this kid", as you call him, saved us? The media would raid his house and wreck his life. This is the least I can do for him." Kain said and handed me the pass.
"Thanks Mr. Kain." I said got the pass and ran into the ruins.
Kin and I saw the whole research squad they decided not to go deeper and stay in the first room since it was close to the exit in case of emergencies and had no monsters.
"Hey Raguna! Make sure you don't get hurt out there." The man named Dan said as I passed by.
"I make no promises." I replied and kept walking.
"Then at least take this." He said and tossed a bottle to me.
"What's this?" I asked a little curious.
"Is an Energy drink. Back a few hundred years ago they used to be used to heal injuries or regain some stamina. It works like magic. You can take it from me; I've used those when I pull all-nighters on research." Dan said and smirked while making a thumb up with his left hand.
"Really? Thanks." I said and went on…
-Few hours later-
Midday was about to hit, so I decided to go back to the surface and go get some food.
"I think I should save this for when I really need it." I said looking at the Energy Drink Dan gave me.
Once back on the surface I told Kin it could go back home since I wasn't gonna go back into the Ruins right away but it stuck to me and we both went to town. I got myself a Burger and asked for an extra meat to give it to Kin. While I was having lunch…
"Hey Raguna!" I heard a voice
"Hmm? Oh hey Uzuki. How's it going?" I said
"Doing well. Hey there Kin, how are you doing?" Uzuki replied and started playing with Kin. Uzuki's family was from a distant kingdom named Yamato, they moved here to Trampoli around the same time my great-great gramps did, or so everyone said. She was born here and we grew up together. She was actually the one that named Kin; she said that it means "Silver" in the native language of Yamato which turned out to be wrong. She meant to say Gin, Kin meant gold. We were corrected by her grandma and we just laughed it off. (A/N: "I'm basing it on the fact that Uzuki's traditions in the game are very Japanese fashioned: outfit, beliefs, etc. so I made it so that Japanese was the language in Yamato.")
After some talking about what we had done over the break Uzuki finally asked the question I figured she'd ask…
"So Raguna. What's with the sword?"
"This? Is a present." Was all I said.
"But what do you need one for?" she asked again
"I'm doing a little bit of hardcore hiking." I answered
"Where? I don't know any place you'd need such a thing for hiking."
"If I tell you would you keep it a secret from everyone at school?" I asked and she nodded a yes. "I'm training in the Green Ruins."
"THE GREEN RUINS!" Uzuki yelled shocked so I put my hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. "Sorry, is just that I heard of that place from grandma, she said that it was really dangerous there. That only a friend of Great-Great grandma made it to the end."
"Yeah so it was said in my family too. But who knows, I have a good feeling about this." I said
"What are you training for anyway?" Uzuki asked
"You know the tournament in a few days." I asked
"Who doesn't? Everyone in school was thinking of going. I've been training myself on a Naginata. I'm determined to make it to the finals and win the grand price." Uzuki said
"Well good luck, I'm in it too and that's why I'm training there." I said "Speaking of which I'm just relaxing for a few hours before I actually go back wanna hang out for a while?" I finished and Uzuki started blushing and looking at the ground.
"You mean like a-a-a-a…" Uzuki started
"Arcade stand yes come on." I said and pulled her along.
