The Legend of Kujalita
Chapter 3
By Martin the Warrior
The captain charged. Tarra sighed and dived out of the way, not quick enough though. Her legs caught the captain's ankles, and the captain tripped and fell. Tarra acted quickly. She jumped up, moved to the captain, picked up his sword, and jumped back.
"Taste steel, will I?" She said triumphantly.
"Guess not," he replied, getting up.
"Wanna fight again?"
"Wanna fist fight?"
"Sure!"
"Let's go."
Tarra dropped her sword and the guard started to circle, fists ready. Tarra brought her fists up to her face, her fighting position when she didn't have her weapon. The captain ran at her. He punched, Tarra ducked, and kicked his balls. He fell over, severely injured. Tarra came up and said,
"How shall I kill you? With my weapon or yours?"
"Your choice, you little rat!" He shouted at her.
"Mine then!" She shouted back.
She ran to her axe, picked it up, and ran back. Amazingly, the captain was still on the floor, moaning about how he wouldn't be able to have sex anymore. She sighed and brought the axe down gently on his neck. She brought it back up and slammed it down viciously on his neck.
"Now where is she?" She muttered to herself.
She edged along the wall until she came to a doorway, obviously the one the guards had been guarding. She peeked around it and saw two people talking. There was a tall, blonde male with a deep scar on his right cheek. The other was a young female with silver hair. She also had a tail poking out of her dress.
"A Genoma?" She whispered in a surprised voice to herself.
Tarra could catch only a few words of the conversation such as kill, king, destroy, things like that. Every so often the blonde male would laugh insanely. This went on for a couple of minutes until the blonde male nodded and started to walk towards the doorway. Tarra whispered a naughty word and looked around for a hiding place. She looked at a corner of the hallway, and saw nothing but shadows.
Excellent, she thought. She ran quickly to the corner, got there and held her breath. The blonde male came out of the doorway, and walked in her direction. No, she thought. The man got really close, then turned. When he was out of sight, Tarra exhaled audibly. She walked towards the doorway, axe at the ready. She ran into the room, ready for a fight. She didn't get one. All she got was a plain sight. To her right was about three pillars holding up the room. To her left was the same thing. Directly in front of her was a throne. It was made completely of gold. There was a red velvet pillow for your butt. No one was sitting at the throne. She walked towards it.
"Hello." She said quietly.
No reply. No one home, she thought. She stopped directly in front of the throne. She took a look at it and turned around. She was met by nothing. Weird, where did she go, she thought.
"Time to get out of here." She muttered. She took one last look around and shivered. This place gave her the creeps. There was an eerie silence in it, an abnormal silence. She ran out of the room and down the hallway to the exit.
Meanwhile, back at the castle, I was watching Steiner scolding his soldiers.
"Come on men, this is a salute for the king and queen, not a pile of dead dogs." He shouted.
One of the soldiers looked at his watch and said,
"4:30, break time! Yay!"
"Get back here, I'm not done with you!" Steiner shouted at their backs. I sniggered. Steiner turned around and said,
"Bet you wouldn't have any more luck than me."
"Your right," I laughed.
"So, is everything ready for the feast," he asked.
"Almost," I replied.
We walked towards the break room in silence. We arrived and went in. It was in normal state, food everywhere and people arguing. I left Steiner to scold his soldiers and went to talk with my friend soldier, Fisca.
"Any news?" I asked him.
"Yeah, there's been some gossip about a shady character viewing the castle and taking notes." He replied.
"What does he look like?"
"Nobody got close enough to look. Somebody said they got within range of talking to him but he was wearing a black cloak. He took of when he saw him."
"Strange. Here take this."
I handed him twenty gil.
"Thanks." He said and walked away to get some food.
I thought about the shady character that night, and wondered who he was. I fell asleep thinking about it. I dreamt about Kuja, or it looked like Kuja, only it was female. I dreamt she was flying over Alexandria Castle and she summoned Bahumet. He flew over the castle and destroyed Alexandria. I woke up sweating and breathing heavily. The dream was a nightmare.
