Chapter 4 The journey begins.
Kurt had not been sleeping the past few nights. He was stuck in a makeshift hospital for the past couple days for his injuries after "killing" the attacker. Kurt's burns from the lava were still there, and he was worn out from all the sword fighting with him. From what he could tell from listening from the outside, he found that the villager were rebuilding and burying the dead.
Despite how much good came from Kurt's killing of the attacker, he was still heavily depressed, he wondered even if he could go home, should he? To others it would seem as no big deal, but to him it was much more.
"Kurt, you're up!" Quintal said as she came into his room with a smile on her face.
"Hi." Kurt answered still looking glum.
"What's wrong? You can tell me?" Quintal asked worried about him.
Kurt just looked away and answered, "I'm fine."
Quintal looked like she was about to cry when Kurt finally spoke and said, "It's not you, it's me."
Quintal now curious asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's just the fact that I killed someone, doesn't it make any sense at all to you that I feel bad about it?" Kurt asked.
"Why should it? If you didn't we would all be dead." Quintal answered.
Kurt just still sat there silent, and looked at the window at the sky filled with 5 moons.
Quintal finally got the point and went away to leave Kurt alone. Kurt felt he should go after her, but what would he say? What could he do? The answer was nothing.
Zanco's came in a little after Quintal and he sat by Kurt and said, "Kurt, Quintal told me what happened, and I'm sorry you had to go through with killing that man, it's a burden you should've never have had to bear."
Kurt looked at him and replied, "Don't feel bad, it runs in my family."
Zancos looked at him for a moment, and looked like he was going to ask him what he meant, but instead he asked, "Tell me, did the attacker say anything to you before you killed him?"
Kurt looked up at the ceiling and answered, "Well, he thought that I was from the moon that he was, and something about the mistress of the dark moon, but that's all I could remember."
"Hmm." Zancos said to himself as he sat in his chair.
"What is it?" Kurt asked.
Zancos looked at him and answered, "Well you see, the dark moon as we call it, is a place without any order and it is filled with absolute chaos. Although it bring out very powerful beings, it truly has no ruler, but lately organized attacks like these have been going on all the other moons as well."
"What? Why don't they just shut down the temples so they can't get to any of the other moons?" Kurt asked.
"They did, but as the say "Where there's a will, there's a way.". Some how, they have found a way off that planet and have been attacking all others. Hmm."Zancos answered and began thinking to himself again.
"What is it?" Kurt asked now that the tension was sky high.
Zancos looked at him and answered, "Although all planets rule themselves, there is a council that meets every so often to discuss certain events that might be a danger to all."
"So?" Kurt asked wondering.
"We should tell the other moons about this.If a force has actually taken control of the dark moon, then we might face a serious problem."
"I understand, but what do you want me to do?"
"With your abilities, you could get to all the other council members in no time, and tell them of this situation."
"I'll do it, but I'll need some maps and supplies if you want me to get to all of them."
"Certainly, I'll give you a few more days, and then you'll be off."
While the two continued their conversation, someone else was also receiving news.
"What do you mean he failed?" asked a feminine voice.
"The mage we sent to the green moon has been killed."
"My majesty, his loss is nothing, we have many more mages who can carry on this task."
"It's not the fact he failed that bothers me.It's the fact that he was killed.Has all the intelligence that we gathered inaccurate?"
"No, its nothing your majesty! They just got lucky.That's all, we'll take care of them in no time at all."
"Very well.Leave me! All of you! I need to be alone for a while."
Once said, all others in the grand room of a castle left, and a young woman was left all alone.
She sheds no tears for the soldier that has fallen, but releases a small laugh, and says to herself, "So, it just might be interesting after all."
