Chapter 5: Return Home
Just as Cairbre was just starting to fall asleep again Duncan came bursting in.
"*Pant pant* Cairbre! *Huff Huff* I *Gasp* just got this message from Logan." (A/N: Logan is the grounds keeper at the Brogan Castle.)
Cairbre groans as he sits up in bed to look at Duncan. "You came running up here to tell me that?!?"
"It's not that I got the message it is what it says!"
"What does it say?"
"It's about your older brother."
That got Cairbre's attention quite effectively. "Which one?"
"Sean." at the mention of his older brother's name Cairbre stiffened as if physically hit
"Damn. What does it say about that bastard?" said Cairbre between clenched teeth.
"He is attacking the castle."
"Why?"
"It must be about the tomb."
"I thought he gave up on that after what he did to our parents."
Flashback Ten Years Ago in Scotland
"Wait for me Sean!!!" Cries a ten year old Cairbre.
"C'mon slowpoke!" Calls Sean Brogan age twenty.
Cairbre obviously winded finally catches up with his older brother at the top of the hill. When Cairbre reaches the top of the hill he promptly collapses on the soft grass next to his older brother.
"Sean?"
"Hm?"
"What's it like?"
"What's what like?"
"The colony, space, everything."
"I dunno it's not like everyone says if that is what you mean."
"How so?"
"Well it's.. Hell kiddo I'm not real sure how to put this."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll find out one day."
And with that Sean got up and started to walk away.
"Hey. HEY!! Where do you think your going Sean?"
"There is something that I have to do."
"Can I help?"
"Actually, yes" Sean came up behind Cairbre and hit him hard in the back of the head knocking him out cold. When Cairbre came to several hours later he started home, when he was half way home he smelled what he thought was burnt haggis. It was burning meat alright, human meat. When he arrived home he saw a scene of carnage he would never forget.
He saw it all. Body parts strewn across his family's land arms, legs, heads, vital organs, and torsos. Everywhere he looked nothing but carnage. But the most disturbing part of it all was that all of the skulls were missing their lower jaws. Before Cairbre took two steps he vomited. Cairbre walked unsteadily to the castle door which was hanging open and the doors also were covered in blood. "Mom? Dad? Anybody?"
"You're back early. I expected you to be out for at least another seven hours." Sean said with a trace of amusement in his voice.
"Sean did you.." asked a stunned Cairbre.
"Did I slaughter them like the dogs? Yes."
"Why??"
"They were in my way."
"How were they in your way?"
"You'll find out."
"Where are Mom and Dad???"
"Dead."
"You.. KILLED THEM!!!"
"Good job kiddo."
"Why? Why did you kill them?"
This caused Sean to start laughing like a maniac. "Ha ha ha hee hee hee you are so naive kid."
"And what the hell does that mean?"
"You'll learn one day."
"YOU BASTARD!!!"
"Now kiddo is that any way to talk to your older brother?"
"YOU AREN'T MY BROTHER!!!"
"Now that's not very nice."
"You will pay for what you did!!" Cairbre rushed over to the wall where there were two swords hanging. Cairbre grabbed the nearest sword and tried to swing it. But he could barely lift it.
"Pathetic." Said Sean with a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth. Sean drew his sword, "Sorry kiddo, but you got to go."
"Why?"
"You are getting in my way."
Sean ran at Cairbre swinging his sword in a high arc. Just as he brought his giant sword down in a move meant to kill his wounded younger brother.
Clang!!!! was the only sound heard, Sean looked down to see if what he heard was the sound of stone against metal, hoping that he had sliced the nettlesome younger Brogan in two. But what he saw stunned him. His younger brother was not dead, quite the contrary he was still alive and blocking his blow.
"How did a pathetic weakling like you stop my blow??" asked Sean in astonishment.
"Could it be that I am not is weak as you think that I am." said Cairbre in anger, "or maybe it's my anger that gives me the strength!" as he said this Cairbre swung the sword which was a struggle for him to lift before, now was light as a feather. Cairbre brought the sword across his brother's chest, and drew blood. The cut was not deep enough to do any serious damage but deep enough for Sean to stager back in severe pain.
"Why you impudent little whelp!!" Screamed Sean as he brought down his sword Slicing a long gash in his brother's back.
"DAMN YOU!!" said Cairbre spinning around to face Sean, and bringing his sword down again, this time it did not just give Sean a nasty cut, it sliced his arm clear off his shoulder.
"You little Whelp!!! You cut my arm off!" Screamed Sean in pain (A/N: Understatement of the year {UOTY})
"Quit calling me a whelp! You Bastard!" Yelled Cairbre in irritation.
"Fine little one, but this is not over." As Sean said this he threw down a little metal orb which when it hit the stone floor with a hollow thud, a plume of black-gray smoke filled the room with a noxious smell.
"Damn you Sean!" said Cairbre between sputters and gasps for breaths.
"Hasn't any one told you to watch you mouth whelp?" said Sean as he disappeared.
