Chapter Eight

One year later, Isaac and Ivan again ran into Felix. Going about their usuall business working for the blacksmith, their work was suddenly interupted by the voice of an old man yelling, "Stop that man, he stole my money!" Isaac rushed outside to see an old man standing in the road and Felix disappearing out the gate of the city, guards hot on his trail. Isaac watched in horror as Felix created a crack in the earth, which swallowed up the guards. Ivan then came out holding a shield which he had made. Isaac drew his sword and rushed after Felix, with Ivan following. Upon exiting the city, Isaac saw Felix disappear into a blur. Isaac sighed, but continued his pursuit. Ivan suddenly pointed to a tree and said, "Over there!" Isaac thought he could make out the shape of person, but it was very unclear. The brothers approached quietly but quickly from different angles. When they got close, Felix became visible. Felix was sitting next to the tree counting his newly acquired money. Giggling to himself, Felix stood up and turned, to see Isaac standing right next to him, sword drawn. Felix gasped and drew his swords, dropping the bag of money. As he slashed at Isaac, Ivan came from behind and grabbed the money bag. After putting the money in his pocket, Ivan ran back towards the city to return the money to the man. When he returned, Isaac was sitting, panting under the tree, and Felix was gone. "Did you get him?" asked Ivan hopefully. Isaac shook his head sadly. "He turned invisible again," he said with a sigh, "I wonder how he does that?"

Garet nodded slowly as he heard the story. "Interesting, turning invisible," he stated, "That could be a powerful advantage in a war." Isaac nodded. "That boy is indeed powerful, one of the most powerful warriors I have ever seen," he said slowly, "I doubt that we are safe here in Kalay any longer, perhaps we should head to another city." Ivan nodded slowly, but then shook his head and added, "Leave Kalay? Leave such a wonderful place? Leave all of our friends? Leave our work?" Isaac thought for a moment and replied, "We can either move to another city, or stay here in Kalay with great danger. Felix is most likely still nearby, and he is a threat to us. Ivan, if we stay, Felix will very likely kill us both." Ivan shivered at the thought and finally consented to moving on to another city. Garet sighed and said, "I'm coming with you." Isaac smiled at his friend.

A few days later, after everyone had told their friends in Kalay goodbye, the three headed for Vault. After traveling only a few minutes, two vermin scrambled out of a bush. One of them ran at Ivan but he dodged easily. The other vermin ran towards Isaac, jumped, and hit him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. Garet ran towards Isaac and slashed the vermin in half. Meanwhile Ivan had tried to zap the vermin attacking him. He missed, however, and drew his sword. When the vermin rushed at him, Ivan did a backflip and slashed downwards, hitting the vermin, and killing it.

Throughout the next few hours, the friends ran into many vermin and other monsters, but finally they saw a bridge. Isaac shivered when he saw the water, but Ivan walked over the bridge. After Garet had also crossed over, Isaac finally followed, slowly and carefully. "Let's stop for rest," said Ivan, panting. Isaac nodded quickly, but Garet seemed content to keep going. Ivan and Isaac sat down on the ground, and Garet finally joined them. After about fifteen minutes, Ivan finally stood up. "Let's go," he said. Isaac and Garet stood up and they walked on. Half an hour later, they walked up to another bridge. This time, Isaac wasn't so scared to cross. As soon as everyone was over the bridge, Ivan started jumping up and down. "Look!" he exclaimed, "A city!" Ivan ran off in the direction of the city, and Isaac and Garet tried to keep up. Panting, Isaac and Garet eventually made it to the city. Looking around, they saw Ivan come out of a shop, wearing new clothes. Isaac walked over to Ivan and said, "Next time, wait for us to catch up," and laughed. Ivan giggled and ran off to another store. Isaac entered the a shop and approached the tailor. "Hello, sir," he said, smiling, "What is the name of this city?" The man replied, "Vault," and then said, "Would you like to buy something?" Isaac nodded, and looked over the clothes. He finally selected some, and paid the man. Then, walking over to the man on the other side of the store, he asked, "Hello, have you got any longswords?" The man looked down at Isaac and laughed. "A little boy like you, wanting a sword?" Isaac glared at the man and replied, "Little boy? Don't call me a little boy." The man laughed again and said, "Look at yourself, you couldn't be more than thirteen or fourteen years old, you're just a boy!" Isaac replied, "I may be little, but I can kill you if you don't let me buy a sword." Smirking, the man replied, "With stolen money?" Isaac was losing his temper, but he tried to stay as calm as he could. "No, it was not stolen." he said, glaring harder. "Oh, did you borrow it from your mommy?" the man asked, bursting with laugher. At this, Isaac completely lost his temper, and the man found himself flying through the air, hitting a wall, and landing on the ground. Isaac walked over and mockingly said, "Oh, did the little boy get a bump on his head? Oh, that's too bad!" Isaac looked over the swords hanging on the wall and selected one. Returning to the man, who was still on the floor, Isaac said, "I'll take this one," and dropped a few coins next to him.

An hour later, Isaac found Garet and Ivan at the inn, paying for rooms. Isaac walked over to them and smiled. "Hello," he said, "I'd like a room." The man nodded. "We've got only one more room," he said, "That'll be two coins please." Isaac smiled and handed the man his coins. The man handed Isaac his key and he walked up the stairs. He found Ivan and Garet at the top, discussing their plans. "I don't like this town," Garet was saying. Ivan frowned and replied, "They treat me like a baby here." Isaac walked over and told the story about him buying a sword. Everyone agreed that they would leave soon and look for another city.
