Raiko was practicing with the sword with Shiko when a soldier and another man came up. Shiko and Raiko stopped what they were doing and looked at the soldier for an explanation.
"Sir! This man says he's a messenger from the Champ region!"
Shiko nodded her head at the man, "Speak!"
The man bowed, "My name is Sebastian, one of the advisors of the King. I have come to warn you of the local bandits in the area. They plan on attacking and showing no mercy. Not even to women and children. They plan to wipe out your entire clan."
Raiko's blood boiled, he couldn't stand when people do that type of thing, "Thank you, you may go!"
As the man disappeared Shiko turned to Raiko, "What should we do?"
"Plan to defend our tribe!"

Bit, Leena, and Naomi were closing in on the Talin territory when they spotted a man on the side of the road. He looked injured in a way. Leena jumped of her horse and ran over to the guy, Naomi following close behind, Bit stayed on his horse. Something about this guy…seemed familiar.
"Are you alright?" Leena asked, she kneeled next to him, as he looked up.
"Yes I'm fine, I just need to catch my breath."
"What happened?" Naomi asked, standing next to Leena who was on one knee.
"My name is Benjamin, I was a prisoner in the Talin camp, I escaped with my life."
Leena's eyes widened, "Wait! Was there anyone else with you?"
"Yes there was. Three young men. I don't know if they escaped or not." Leena and Naomi's eyes widened, and looked at Bit. He had his eyes closed, but opened them quickly.
"Naomi do you think we could borrow some of your men!?!"
"Yes! They will be willing to fight to revenge Brad's life!"
"Good then, cause we're going into battle!" Somehow during Bit's pep talk Benjamin disappeared. He quickly ran through the forest and finally stopped at what looked like a spring.
"Your late Benjamin." Benjamin smirked.
"I'm sooo sorry I can't be perfect like you Sebastian."
"ENOUGH WITH YOUR SCOWBLING!! Did you get the job done!" Boomed the voice of Harry Champ. Both men bowed and reported.
"All clear!!"
"Without any trouble!"
"Good!!" Harry started the laugh again, making Benjamin and Sebastian cringe.

"What's going on out there?" Jamie asked as they saw a bunch of people running around outside.
"They're preparing for a fight," Brad stated simply. Leon looked worried.
"I got a bad feelings about all this."
******
At dawn, two mighty armies stood facing each other ready to fight. Shiko was in the front and right beside her was her faithful brother Raiko. On the other side, Bit stood in front with Naomi and Leena on both sides of him. They stood like that for a good deal of time until finally…
"CHARGE!!!!!" Bit and Shiko shouted at the same time. The armies lunged forth at each other, forced each other in vicious combat. Three figures stood on the high cliff over-hanging the battle.
"Everything is going perfectly," Harry Champ said quietly to himself.
"Your truly the best," said Sebastian bowing to Harry.
"There is no one greater than you," Benjamin said doing the same as Sebastian.
*****
Leon, Brad, and Jamie tried desperately to get out of their ropes.
"It's no use," sighed Jamie.
"We've got to keep trying!" Leon shouted.
"Leon see if you could reach my knife on my belt," Brad said.
"Right!" Leon reached with all his might, he was just inches shorter, but he kept getting closer, and closer, and closer……

~*~From Shiko's view~*~
Shiko was using her daggers for a while making good process through out the battle. After a while she decided to use her bow, she shot a bunch of people down, and then she felt someone coming from behind her. She swiftly turned around and had an arrow loaded and ready. But there was a problem. The man had a sword at her neck, while her arrow was ready to shoot into his neck. They both stood there studying each other.
The man standing in front of her had wild blonde hair, turquoise eyes, and not too heavy armor so he could move swiftly. They both stood there. Shiko was getting images in her head and trying her hardest to block them out. This was too important to idle on the past.
~*~From Bit's view~*~
He was doing pretty well just a couple scratches here and there, but the battle was going nowhere. They were both equally strong. He noticed one small warrior take down a lot of Naomi's men really quickly. He figured that if he beat that warrior then the battle would be won.
Bit ran through the crowd to get to the warrior, just when he was going to strike, the warrior turned around swiftly and pressed its arrow into Bit's throat. Luckily, he had managed to get his sword pressed into her throat also.
While they stood he studied this 'warrior'. One of the most shocking things was that the warrior was a she. He quite impressed. But then he noticed that she had green eyes, and he couldn't tell her hair except for her bangs that was RED! It seemed like ages they stood there, waiting for the other to make a move.
Author's Note: Sorry about the cliffhanger! And I'm sorry for it's shortness, but be glad that I got this up sooner than usual! A got maybe about five or more chapters left, so for those of you who are dreading the ending to come, don't worry there's still a long way to go.
