Chapter two
" Your right Amte!" Tai yelled instructions to her from the flat stone rock he sat upon.
The blonde girl lunged to her left to get away from the stick that was being driven into her, she waved her own long stick in the air as though she was trying to hit something. Unfortunately the weapon she was trying to avoid was thrust into the side of her rib cage as she lunged into it.
" Oww," She whispered under her breath as she rubbed her side.
" Your other right Amte! For gods sake when will you learn the difference between left and right! How do you ever expect to be able to fight if you don't even know which way your going!" He pushed him self off the rock and stride across the field to where the girl stood with her attacker.
Her attacker lifted up his helmet and panted for air. The spiky red haired boy leaned against his pole with his metal helmet tucked under one arm and took a deep breath. The young girl standing next to him rolled her eyes as Taichi marched towards them yelling his head off as usual whenever they didn't feel like training.
A boy with short shiny black hair and lively blue eyes followed Taichi across the wet dewy grass.
Tai just couldn't understand Amte sometimes. When she wanted to be she could be the best warrior out of all three of them. She could shoot a fly in between the eyes with a bow and arrow from a mile away. Then other times she looked like she held never held a sword before.
Dane was like her a lot. He could be a brilliant warrior, sharp, quick, defensive and brave. He was strong and powerful, but once Amte got it into her head that she didn't want to work, he would just give up automatically.
Rord was the only one who ever seemed reliable. Even though he wasn't as strong as Amte and Dane, he was still filled with courage and sharp senses. He tried his best all of the time, even when his other two allies decided they wanted to goof off and muck around. What he was lacking in strength he made up for in brains.
" What is wrong with you this morning Amte! Why aren't you even trying!" Tai shouted at her.
She slumped onto the ground and groaned loudly.
" I can't be bothered! We trained all day yesterday and all morning today, can't we just have a little break?"
" We don't have any time for breaks. Besides I thought this was a break. You moan about us walking all day so when we stop walking for a while you moan about us training all day. What would you rather do?"
" Sleep and relax," She murmured.
Dane let out a snigger and stumbled as he pole gave way under his arms.
" That's not an option Amte," He sighed and looked from the thirteen year old girl to the other fourteen year old boys, " Alright how about Dane and Rord have a go,"
" I only just fought Amte," Dane complained,
" Well then you'll be all warmed up for Rord won't you," Tai said as he picked up Amte's pole and threw it to Rord. Rord looked at the wooden stick in his hand and grimaced. He could just picture Dane ending up breaking his nose with it somehow. And he really didn't want Amte to use one of her potions on another broken bone, ever again.
Tai sat himself down on the grass and watched as the two boys hit there sticks together to defend themselves. They were both holding their own pretty well.
They had all come a long way since Tai had found them.
Four years ago. Four years ago he had discovered all three of them sitting in a circle in the middle of a village square. He didn't know what it was that had drawn him to these three children. He just knew instantly the moment he set eyes on them, who they were. The three, one day the Enkt. One day, not just yet.
Four years he had spent in this world travelling with the children, teaching them everything he somehow knew about themselves. He taught them how to fight and how to protect themselves.
They were learning every day, he could always see the improvements they made. Even when they said they would rather eat manure than train any longer, he still knew they were devoted to their art.
Each of them had a certain talent that no one else could ever impersonate.
In these four years he'd become like a father to each of them. He had grown to love each of them like a Father would. He admired Amte's outgoing personality and the way that she was able to rap anyone she wanted around her little finger. A gift that was sure to come in handy in the future. He loved how Dane reminded him of himself as a child, the boyishness and humour he held were exactly like his own. Rord's quite thoughtfulness that very often came in handy, he noticed things that Tai hadn't even thought about sometimes. They were the best kids he knew, but they still didn't help the heart ache to go away.
Time didn't make it better, it only made it worst. Every day he still felt himself waking up and longing to be with her, dying just to see her face or smell her silky hair. He'd give anything to be back with her and Cameron. But as the Lords of tern had said, this was his destiny and he must follow it. No matter how much he longed to be somewhere else.
All he wanted was to see his wife one last time, even if he couldn't be back with her. Just to see what she looked like, to make sure she was coping without him. He felt an immense guilt knowing that he had left her all alone with a child. He wanted to see his child. He wanted to see what Cameron looked like, how he talked, he wanted to watch him grow up.
But he had learnt that wanting never got you anywhere. It would take a long time before he would ever be close to seeing his family again. Longer than just four years.
The silvery moon light glittered off of Amte's long golden hair as she sat beneath the stars, looking wearily at the back of the figure seated at the fire a few yards infront of her. He had his back to her and hadn't noticed she was awake. He didn't seem to notice anything going on in the world at this moment. His head was rested in his hands as he stared up at the night's sky.
" What do you think is wrong with him?" Rord whispered into her ear. She hadn't heard him wake but she didn't flinch at the surprise of hearing his voice.
" I don't know,"
" You know tomorrow it will be six years since he found us,"
" Yes I know that,"
" So do you reckon that's what's wrong with him?" Danes deeper voice asked beside her.
" Something about that," Amte sighed, normally she knew just what was wrong with anyone she met. A gift Taichi told her, she had a gift of reading peoples minds without listening to their thoughts. But Taichi was so difficult to read. She couldn't get any sign of emotion from him. It was asthough he had barred him self off from her, " He's so secretive," She whispered thoughtfully,
" He was acting incredibly strange today," Dane said as though they needed reminding, " hardly said a word. He just stared off into space lost in thought. What do you think he was thinking about?"
" He's always like this around this time of year," Rord reminded them.
" It must be something that happened at this time of year. Before he found us," Amte whispered,
" Like what,"
" Well I don't know do I!" She hissed,
" Well you normally do," Dane muttered,
" Well I don't this time," She was utterly annoyed at the fact she couldn't tell what was wrong with Taichi and she didn't need reminding of it. She looked up to Taichi with more respect than anyone else did. Even though when she was younger she had teased him and played him up, now she truly admired all that he had done for them. He had always been there for her and the boys. Like a father.
" He must have had a life before he found us," She thought out loud,
" Like what? Do you think he was married?" Dane asked,
" Not Taichi. He's too much of a loner. Sometimes he can be so cold, blank. I find it so hard to read him when he's like this. I don't think he's ever actually been in love before,"
" We don't actually know anything about his life," Rord suddenly realised,
" Why don't you ask him then?" Dane said daringly,
" No way, you do it,"
" We should just leave him alone. He wants to be left with his thoughts so that's how we shall leave him," Amte stated harshly, she was very much the boss of the group.
" I feel sorry for him. I wish we knew how we could make it better. Like he's always done for us," Rord told the other two.
" I guess we'll never know,"
Two years on
Amte's long silvery hair flew through the air as she somersaulted backwards. CRASH! She landed hard on her backside in the middle of a patch of clover.
" Will you watch what you're doing with that thing!" She screamed at Dane as he watched her laughing holding his long silver sword.
" Hey I was only training with you. I guess I'm just going to have to go easier on you Amt,"
" You know I'm just as good as you are!" She spat at him,
" You know Amte maybe you're to old for this sort of stuff now. All the other girls your age are married, maybe you should be at home backing bread instead of trying to play with the big boys,"
" Amte dosn't even know how to make bread," Rord muttered,
" Like anyone would marry you anyway," Dane sniggered,
" Don't give me any of that talk Dane. I'll kick your ass boy,"
" Then get off the ground and fight back!" Tai yelled a couple of paces away from her. He shook his head, these two teenagers really did have a weird way of flirting.
She scowled at the ground and pulled herself up.
" Oooowwwww!" She screamed as something shot out of the ground as fast as a rocket and hit her in the small of her back. It flew through the air in a blur of gold.
" It's an Omtitt!" Rord cried with surprise,
" Quick someone catch it!" Dane yelled desperately," Before it flies away,"
Amte dived forwards and skidded along the ground as she tried to grab hold of the magical wish-giving creature.
" Taichi it's coming right for you!" Dane hollered.
Tai hadn't even realised what was going on. He turned around to see a blur of gold hurtling at his face. He held his hand up to his head and the Omtitt flew straight into his out stretched palm. He immediately grasped his fingers around its shiny hard body. He peered closer to see what he had caught.
" Tai! You . . .you caught it!" Rord cried in disbelief. This was too good to be true. He had never heard of anyone actually catching an Omtitt before. These magical golden creatures would grant you one wish if you caught them. Just think what Taichi could wish for!
" Wow," Amte whispered, " So what are you going to wish for?" She asked eagerly.
" Wish for?" He whispered dumbly,
" Come on Tai you just caught a Omtitt! What are you going to wish for?"
" All the jewels in the world!"
" To be king of the world!"
" For the world to be totally peaceful so we don't have to fight!" The three teenagers suggested.
Tai stared at the struggling golden ball in his fist. This really was too good to be true. There was only one thing he ever wanted. Only one thing he could ever wish for.
" Really," he muttered,
" What are you going to wish for?" Dane asked loudly,
Taichi's eyes seemed to mist over as he thought.
" Sora," he said barely above a whisper.
" What?" Dane asked again,
" I wish to see Sora," Tai said quietly and fearfully,
" Who?"
The golden ball stopped struggling. He opened his fist and it lay quite still. Then in spilt in half and a beam of golden light shone out of it.
The light cast a golden square in front of the four humans like a television screen.
" What's it doing?" Dane asked nervously,
As they stared into the depths of the gold, a picture began to unfold. The deeper they looked the clearer the picture began to make itself.
A tall woman with long red hair stood with her back to them. She wore a light blue top and cream tight pants, she had a slim figure. She stood infront of a sink in the middle of a kitchen, staring into space.
" Sora . . ." Tai whispered, his voice was full of amazement and hope.
" Who's that Taichi?" Amte asked wearily. He didn't seem to be able to hear them. He walked slowly towards the picture in the air. He stuck out his right hand, it parsed through the picture giving off a ripple like the surface of water. Suddenly in a rush of wind he was somehow sucked into the picture.
" Taichi!" Amte cried as she tried to pull him back,
" No let him go," Rord said sternly. The ripples over the surface of the picture calmed and the three teenagers saw Taichi standing next to the young woman.
