Byakko: The Sacred Sword of the White Tiger
Chapter 4
He was looking like his usual self. Wearing a dark-blue cloak made him look like
some mysterious person. When he saw me, he immediately ran over to me and hugged me.
"touya.... I missed you..." I whispered to him.
He held me a distance from him and smiled. "same here." he replied. Touya then
turned to Syaoran and they walked a distance from me. Both faces were very serious
andthen they started talking in whispers.
I knew that I shouldn't be listening (though I find that odd) so I moved away
from them and just stared at the sky. For long hours I overheard them whispering
in an angered manner. The silence around me clung to me like sweat. It was so
deafining.
I guess that I dozed off when I felt a soft nuge awaken me.
It was Syaoran.
"w-what?"
"It's time to go now. We'll be marching through my father's gardens. Much safer
that walking on open ground." he said.
I wiped the sleepiness from my eyes and stood up. I was surprised at what I saw.
We were already in a different place with lots of people in dark colored cloaks.
I knew these were th people who worked in the mines. Some of them had a distrusting
look in their eyes, some were filled with hope.
"keep your head down and don't talk to anybody else except Touya and me. We decided
to keep your identity secret since all of the people here think you're dead. We
have to be silent if we don't want to be detected." he explained.
I just nodded my head in agreement.
We passed through the gardens and the night turned into dawn. I can see that there
were only a few people risking this journey, I know that most of them rather work
than be discovered and suffer a worser fate. The tavel became harder and faster. The
longer we stay here at the light of the sun, the more chance that we would be detected.
There was no choice but to keep walking or die.
After a few more minutes of walking, my legs became tired and I knew that from the
looks of the others that I wasn't the only one. But then, we were called to a halt.
"wait! I know that we are all tired but what if we get discovered here?" I heard
a man say. Many heads nodded in agreement.
"We have to stop." I heard Touya's strong voice. "my guide tells me that we are
already at the edge of the gardens. We have to wait here till dusk. We'll be
crossing the desert by then. It will be more advisable to travel as much as we could
while it's dark."
I agreed in his statement but still, doubts were still lingering inside me. What if
we got discovered? whal would happen to these people?
"Don't worry, I've put us all under a cloaking spell." I heard Syaoran whisper beside
me. I looked at him and was comforted by the warming smile across his face.
After that brief moment, he looked away and that's when I noticed that his hood was
lower than when I last saw him. I thought that the reason must lie within his looks
that led to his heritage. He IS and STILL the dark lord's son.
My worries faded as dusk suddenly appeared in the horizon. As soon as it was dark
enough, we started walking again. I heard from Syaoran that we'd be walking in a
shouthernly direction and we'd be passing through Agerstown first. Agerstown is a
town in the continent of Beluah. It is surrounded by different landmarks. Romalia
(where we had come from) to the north, forests of Solitude to the west, Traveller's
roads to the east, and the seacoast desert to the south.
From what Syaoran had revealed to me, we'd only be walking through the said town
during midnight, when the whole town was asleep. He said the supplies that the
people had brought were enough to make them survive a week's travel through the
desert. Then, we would part from them and go to our own separate paths when we reach
the Sea port.
From that information alone, I knew that most of the people here would be going
to Nadezha to the west. I heard that that one of the two continents that was
protected by the Goddess Zoe, so it was protected from the dark lord's power.
The other continent was Wilfrid to the south. I heard that that continent was
and icy desert with the most extremes of weather changes. The Migi Archipelago,
a group of small and large islands to the east, was also occupied by the dark
lord's relm. Beluah, the continent where we are, is to the north. In between all
the said continents is the Sea of Swords, usually a place of sea battles.
It wasn't long until we found the city of Agerstown. It wasn't a very prosperous
city and it was filled with the dark lord's minions and soldiers.
"we wait here till midnight." I heard Touya shout to his comrades.
We were at the egde of a small cluster of trees with the roads and the town well
in view. It was still afternoon. I knew that it would be a long wait.
