Chapter 10: The Second Rebirth Ends
Sloan floated in emptiness, void of anything except darkness. He floated for a long time, why was he here. he had just defeated Cloak then he had passed out. He floated, wondering for what seemed like a eternity. Then he felt a presence, he turned and saw a tall boy, about fifteen with long dirty blond hair spiked backward standing. The boy's gray eyes studied him curiously, he grinned and waved and promptly disappeared.
Sloan eyes slowly opened, looking up at the ceiling of the castle infirmary. "He's awake," announced a woman with long black hair, she was fairly short, about five feet tall, and she wore a dark gray cloak. Her eyes were a strange green that seemed to glow. A sorceress Sloan realized with shock, he thought they were just a legend.
"Excellent," replied a man wearing armor ", I shall go inform the king immediately."
Sloan tried to sit up but suddenly his arm felt like it was on fire. "You haven't fully healed, the magic is still doing it's work," said the woman. She was sitting in a chair, studying him carefully. "Your lucky that you defeated the Drow when you did, otherwise the enchantment on the dagger would have killed you," she said. Sloan tried vainly to sit up, but again the pain in his arm caused him to lie back down. "You should be able to get out of bed in a few hours," she said ", Until then relax."
Suddenly the door opened and the king stepped in, followed by his daughter. The king looked down at him ", Good job Oni, you are dismissed for now. I would like to talk with this young man in private with my daughter for a while," he motioned with his hand and Oni bowed and walked out the door. The king looked at Sloan ", What is your name?"
"Sloan," responded the teen.
"What is your full name and where do you originate from?" asked the king patiently.
"Sloan is my full name and I have no clue were I was born, but I can tell you where I have spent most of my life, though you won't believe me," said Sloan. The king nodded and the teen continued ", I grew up in the assassins guild and lived there until it's destruction about two years ago."
"You're a assassin," the king glared at him suspiciously.
"Was a assassin, that ended when I destroyed the guild," Sloan said, before the king could reply Sloan continued ", They took me when I was young and preformed a experiment on me. They tried to create the perfect assassin."
"You wanted to get revenge on them for what they did to you?" asked the princess.
Sloan glared at her ", I wanted to prevent them from doing the same to other's, revenge had little to do with it."
"Very well now that that's over with do you Sloan vow to protect my daughter Princess Sara for as long as you live and accept the title of The Princesses Guardian," asked the king with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes your majesty I vow to protect her until death," replied Sloan. He smirked ", I'd bow but I can't even sit up, much less stand and bow."
The king nodded and exited the room. Sara looked at Sloan and raised a eyebrow ", So my new bodyguard is a eighteen year old, mutant, ex- assassin, great," she said sarcastically, sounding like a spoiled brat.
"I hope you get used to it soon Sara, because I'm going to be around for a long time," Sloan smirked, sitting up, the pain in his arm lessened.
She glared at him ", You will address me as Princess Sara," she said, flipping her brown hair over her shoulder.
"Whatever you say princess," said Sloan sarcastically. He stood up and moved his injured arm around, the pain mostly gone. He picked up his trench coat and put it on, after making sure all his weapons were there. "So what happens now," he asked, adjusting his gauntlets and looking at the princess.
"What do you mean what happens now?" asked the princess.
"I mean what are you supposed to be doing now," asked Sloan, stretching.
The princess raised an eyebrow ", There isn't really anything I'm supposed to be doing."
"So your saying you have no schedule or anything whatsoever?" asked Sloan. The princess shook her head, and Sloan smacked his forehead. "You're a princess without anything to be doing, like learning to play a instrument or anything." She nodded and he shook his head ", Okay what do you want to do?" he asked.
"I think I'm going to go to the library," she decided.
Sloan sighed ", There you go now let's go." He followed her out of the room, walking beside her as they went through many halls until they reached a pair of large wooden doors. He opened the door for the princess then followed her in. "Holy shit," he swore looking around the room, there were about three floors of shelves and books.
"Watch you language," she snapped at him. He shrugged and sat down in a big chair in the center of the library. He watched as the princess looked through the books.
After a while she turned to him and said ", It's very unsettling when you stare at me like that, you know."
"I'm just doing my job Princess," Sloan smirked.
"Well stop staring at me," she ordered, glaring at him with her piercing blue eyes. He shrugged and studied the room instead.
Twenty minutes later
Sloan is dozing in the chair sprawled out, his hair covering his face. On the third floor of the library, standing on the tips of her toe, reaching for a book. She pulled it out but stumbled backwards falling backward over the low railing. She let out a scream.
Sloan's saffron eyes snapped over and immediately he jumped off the chair to the wall opposite of where she had fell from, bounded off and caught Sara in midair. They then fell promptly down to the floor, Sara landing on top of the teen, knocking the breath out of him. After Sloan had managed to crawl back to his chair and regain his breath Sara said ", You saved me."
He looked up at her with a raised eyebrow he replied ", Well yeah it's kind of my job." Before she said anything else he asked ", Are we done here? I was kind of hoping I could get something to eat, I haven't really eaten anything decent in a week or so," explained the ex-assassin.
She blinked and said ", Oh. sure I think it's getting close to dinner anyway," she trailed off.
Sloan jumped out of the chair and asked ", Your going to have to tell me the schedule in the castle," he followed the princess out of the library, not noticing the Oni watching them from the second floor.
Half a hour later in the dining hall
The dining hall was a large room with many rows of tables seated at the tables were all the residents of the castle that weren't servants. Knights, lords, noble's, advisors, and many other people lined the tables. There were many voices talking of wars, battles, the tournament, local events and the oddness of the princess's new guardian. The royal family, who sat in a table elevated slightly above the other tables, ate quietly. Sloan sat at this table, along with the cities master guard, the captain of the knights, Oni, and other people the king considered important. He sat at the left of the Princess, who sat at the left of her father who had the queen sitting on his right. Currently the king tapped his glass, silencing everyone in the room. He stood and held up his glass ", At toast to my daughter's new bodyguard, Sloan, who not only entertained us in the tournament but has already saved my daughters life today." Everyone in the hall cheered their approval and raised their glasses in toast.
Sloan sipped from his goblet, it only contained water, Sloan disliked wine. He turned his head to the left to continue his conversation with the captain of the knights. A tall strongly built man with short messy black hair, blue eyes, and a goatee, named Zanif. The captain said suddenly ", If you can convince the princess, you should come out and train some of the knights and guards. I need help with training with their guns."
Sloan raised a eyebrow and asked ", What type of guns are they using?"
"The guards use handguns and the knights use rifles," explained Zanif ", guns are newly implemented weapons for the knights and guards."
"I'll ask her right now then, I could use some target practice myself," replied Sloan. He turned and looked at Sara, he poked her in the shoulder and asked ", Want to go down to the target range tomorrow morning, Zanif has asked my help with gun training."
The princess raised a eyebrow and said ", Sure, I'll meet you after I wake up."
Sloan nodded, then turned to face Zanif and grinned.
Midnight
The princess was in her room, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, a backpack on her back, a holstered pistol she had stolen from a guard when he wasn't looking on her belt. She had left the lights out to prevent anyone from noticing she was awake. Sara looked around the room making sure she had everything she needed. Once she was sure she threw her sheets and clothes tied together out of the window and began her descent down. She reached the ground and crouched down, she sneaked around the guard post's and snuck easily scaled the castle wall. She glanced around and continued into the town, walking down the main street, constantly looking over her shoulder.
Eventually she escaped the town and reached the town gates. The gates were locked up, the guards no longer there, but watching from atop the walls. She picked the lock and opened the gates slowly, she then snuck through them. Once outside the gates she put her back to the wall and quietly sneaked along it until she came to a spot where bushes touched against the wall. She entered the bushes and crawled through them.
After what seemed like hours she reached a forest nearby to the city. She decided she was safely out of distance of the watchmen and began running through the forest. Sara ran until she reached a meadow, she was exhausted so she sat on a rock and rested. About an hour later the sun rose.
Sara looked up towards the rising sun and gasped, there silhouetted in the rising sun stood Sloan, his hair and jacket blowing in the breeze, his arms crossed across his chest. He walked towards her until there was about two meters in between them. "I guess you'll be taking me back to the castle huh?" she asked.
Sloan smiled and said ", My job is to protect you from danger, not to stop you from escaping the palace."
"You're not going to make me go back there?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Look," he said, sitting down beside her on the rock ", I had to destroy the place where I felt trapped in order to escape. You on the other hand just have to run away and dodge the knights when your father sends them to find you. I see it as a way for a formally trapped person help a trapped person escape," he explained.
"Thank you Sloan," she said, smiling.
"Well now that that's out of the way lets get going, we have to move if we don't wanna get caught," he said, standing and pulling her up. They walked into the forest and disappeared.
Three months later
Sloan sat on the bed of the inn while Sara tended a bullet wound in his shoulder, on the other bed sat Calvin, a sorcerer who had joined the two only a week after they escaped the castle. Sara had begun training in healing magic and she had quite a knack for it, already Sloan's shoulder began to feel better. Much had happened in the past three months, they had recently ran into some assassins left over from the guild. Sloan had easily killed them all without the others help. The assassins had been hired by Kane to take out the three. Kane was the general of the legions of Flare, and the three were a major thorn in his side. The one time they had seen him he had nearly killed Sloan, who had been out of commission for two weeks even with the help of Sara's healing powers. Now he was coming to destroy them himself, with his legions.
"Are we going to try and escape," asked Sara.
Sloan and Calvin exchanged glances. "There would be no point they'd catch us in the end," muttered Sloan ", We're going to stand and fight until the legions are defeated or until we die. Either way we go down fighting," Sloan explained. Sara looked at him fearfully and he put a hand on her shoulder and smiled weakly.
The next day
Sloan, Sara, and Calvin stood on a cliff top watching the legions approach. Sloan took his sniper rifle, aimed and fired, again and again he fired, killing hundreds of soldiers before they got close. He put the rifle back into his jacket, and threw a few grenades into the legions, taking out a few more hundred. Calvin stepped foreword, created a large fireball and fired it at the army, taking out a couple hundred. Sloan and Calvin continued the assault, greatly decimating the army, until Sloan was almost out of explosives and Calvin's mana was running low.
There were only about three hundred soldiers left, Kane was still alive though and many of his superior officers as well. "Let's go!" yelled Sloan, drawing his pistols, already loaded with flame ammunition. Calvin followed suit, picking up Sara before he jumped down.
As he fell Sloan unloaded his clips, killing about twenty soldiers. He landed and reloaded his guns quickly, a soldier was running toward him with a long sword, Sloan shot him square between the eyes and the man fell. Sloan released many more shots into the army, unloading his clips. Beside him Calvin had put down Sara and took out his twin Uzi's, holding down the triggers spraying the front lines of the enemy with bullets, felling many of them. Sara unloaded a few clips of ammo from her pistols, she threw them to the ground.
"I'm out," she said, Calvin was also tossing his guns down and drawing a long sword, waiting for Sloan.
Sloan was still firing shots into the army, reloading quickly. After another five minutes he finally threw his guns aside and drew his katana.
Most of the enemy was dead now, only about fifty soldiers were left and Kane himself. "Calvin now's the time to enchant my sword," Sloan said holding his katana toward the mage. Calvin nodded and used the last of his mana to surround Sloan's katana with energy. The emerald haired teen turned and ran toward his enemies, cutting through them easily. Within a few minutes he had killed the remaining soldiers.
"Very good Sloan," said Kane, clapping slowly. "But not good enough, your enchantments about dead and you have no chance against me." Kane was tall, the same height as Sloan his hair was red and his eyes were dark brown, almost black. He wore black and silver armor, currently he smirked and drew his own katana. "Prepare to die, boy," yelled Kane as he charged forward.
"Die bastard," yelled Sloan as he charged to meet Kane. Their swords clashed, and Sloan gritted his teeth feeling Kane's strength. Kane slashed and Sloan parried, over and over again. Kane stuck again and Sloan tried to dodge, gutting a shallow cut along his chest, Sloan countered, lunging foreword punching Kane in the gut and slashing at him. Kane recovered before Sloan could hit him with the slash and parried it. Sloan, not expecting the parry let the sword be knocked out of his hands. His katana went flying through the air and landed many meters away. Kane smirked and kicked Sloan in the chest, sending him flying a few meters.
'This is it, this is the end,' thought Sloan hopelessly. Kane begun running and jumped into the air, coming down to strike Sloan with his sword. Time seemed to freeze. Sara was screaming out to Sloan, horrified knowing her guardian was soon going to die. Calvin was holding her back, as she struggled to run toward him. Sloan looked up at Kane and spotted a weakness in his armor, around the stomach there was leather and not steel. 'I'm going to take this bastard with me to hell,' Sloan yelled inside his mind, he reached inside his coat quickly and brought out a knife and stabbed foreword just as Kane's strike came down on his head. Sloan died with a grim smile on his face, knowing he had scored a lethal blow.
