Browni
The Red Band Warrior
Chapter 2 The Soldier Date 13/4 5th Era (year/month 40 days to a month ten months per year.)
"Come into the darkness from which I came, see me and despair. Fear my prowess that is stronger than near all beings, met only by my brother, and exceeded only by one, but he does not interfere. Few can fathom the limits to my power." So sayeth the Dark Power
Deep in a dark land, a black bell tolled and evil was awoken for the night. It was another night of training for the Dark Army, A hoard of dark creatures many of them yoshies but cursed, long they had been damned. When a foul creature awoke he stirred these dark yoshies and armed them for a battle that had been fought by the foul creature as long as time. This was a battle of good and evil, yin and yang, light and dark. Death and despair followed this creature wherever he went, thus he forced these upon others. He had never experienced happiness before and he hated all that had. Thus he swept upon this land and cursed it. But there was one dark yoshi who was different.
Browshi was a simple dark yoshi warrior, through he did not know it he was important, he was. Hardly more than a slave he was a good soldier, he was an exceptional fighter, loyal (he thought), and emotionless. Browshi woke to the toll of the bell and rose from the ground where he slept. He and his fellow soldiers that slept around him stood and formed a line, they marched to the battle preparation hall (prep hall). Browshi was a brown yoshi, brown yoshies are quick and agile but don't do well when taking blows. Today was different for Browshi because today was his first battle. He was soon to do battle with the light yoshies right outside the Crack of Crag. The Crack of Crag was fabled to imprison a great evil, none have entered then left the crack. Browshi knew he was probably going to die, the enemy outnumbered them two to one.
"You still haven't told me the purpose of this battle Grishi," said a dark green yoshi to a gray yoshi. They where standing on a balcony far above the prep hall.
"It's a diversion, we will divert their army to the crack. while we attack Yoshi Castle, Grawn." Replied Grishi.
"Still seems like a waste of soldiers, too me," said Grawn.
"Ah but you think too simply, you never had a mind for tactics," said Grishi.
"Anyway, have you seen the new soldiers?" Said Grawn "its incredible!"
"Yes, soldier four hundred and twenty-five isn't it" Said Grishi "What was his true name, Browi?"
"It's Browshi, but I have NEVER seen a new soldier much less a twelve year old fight like that!" Said Grawn
"Yes he's very good. too good" Said Grishi
"What are you saying?" Said Grawn.
"That he might start thinking he is more than a worm, our hidden leader doesn't care if we are overthrown. So long as he has someone to rally the troops and carry out his plans." Hissed Grishi.
"Oh. okay I get it, you think we should eradicate him" Said Grawn
"Yes," said Grishi
". Actually it matters not, he's going into battle for the diversion. How convenient" Laughed Grawn
"Sir! The troops are here." Said a yoshi that had just walked onto the balcony.
Grishi and Grawn walked to the tip of the stone balcony that looked over the prep hall where one thousand soldiers where lined and ready for battle.
"Who do you serve!" yelled the two yoshies
"THE DARK EMPIRE!" the army yelled back
"What do you live for!" they yelled over the balcony
"TO DESTOY!" the army yelled back again.
"Tonight you march to the Great Crack to slay the light forces there!" Yelled Grawn. "Now MARCH!"
And so the army left to fight an impossible battle of a war they never wanted. Browshi marched at the back, as did all brown yoshies, to speed the rest of the army up. A few warriors where trampled because they couldn't keep up. And then they saw it. a mass twice as large as their own it was daylight now and the adversary shone like a star, a hoard of green, blue, red, pink, purple, and many more colored Yoshies. Then they charged Browshi felt the adrenaline start flowing and his body tense up. The sound of the charge was immense like thunder that went on forever. It took ten seconds for the armies to clash. Yoshies fight wars much differently than we ever did the fight with their hands, feet, and tails. It was gore everywhere two dark yoshies ripping the head off a blue yoshies, removed arms and legs some Yoshies had their guts spilling due to the razor sharp spikes of males. To Browshi the battle lasted forever, yelling and screaming from both sides. Some of the elite had punching daggers. Browni searched the chaos for a good target. Browshi never found one, a green yoshi popped out of nowhere and gave him a blow to the head, and the world went suddenly black. Now I'm dead he thought.
"Browshi" said a soft voice. "Browshi wake up,"
Browshi opened his eyes and sat up, he was floating everywhere it was white, bright white.
"There we go," said the soft voice.
Browshi felt as though he had suddenly woken up "Who are you?" cried Browshi in surprise. "Where are you? Where am I?"
"The first. I will not answer now. The third. you are in limbo. The second I am right here" suddenly a Yoshi materialized out of nowhere but not a yoshi like any that Browshi had ever seen, the shape was the same but the colors. light colored stripes ran down his body a huge amount of them, he had golden eyes, his face seemed to have a calming stare, he moved gracefully but powerfully he seemed like a rainbow that was shaped like a Yoshi, when Browshi saw him he thought powerful but also gentle and kind. Deep in his eyes he also had sadness, as though he had made a huge error that had burdened him a long time.
Browshi was terrified. This was a light yoshi. an enemy but this foe was far beyond him. "Wha. What are you?" Browshi said shakily
"I did not come to answer questions I came to ask them. Who are you?" he said softly
"I. I am soldier four two five Browshi of the Dark Army," Browshi replied
"And who do you want to become, four two five? He said
"I do not wish to become anything," said Browshi regaining his stiff good soldier attitude.
"Than you will become nothing, but I will ask you again later, and maybe your mind will change. For now, sleep." Then suddenly Browshi's head became heavy and he slept.
Browshi woke up on the battlefield, and found that the head injury he had suffered had vanished.
"That should have killed me," Browshi said to himself. "I'm supposed to be dead," then he remembered the dream. Did that thing save me? He thought, No don't be irrational it was just a dream.
Browshi got up and looked around, bodies everywhere and the stench was overwhelming how long had he been out? One day more? It was impossible to tell. Browshi began to walk back to the dark lands and he would tell the commanders that he had survived, so he could be a slave again. Why did he return? Because it was the only way he saw.
