Chapter 2
Jack walked to the beach the next day thinking about the sword that his grandfather gave him. "Am I strong enough to do it?" he asked himself. Then a girl with brown hair and blonde highlights came to him. "Hi! I am Karen." She said. "I am Jack. I came from the city." Jack said. Then suddenly a demon appeared. Karen was frightened, she hid behind Jack. Then Jack took out his sword and said the magic words. "I will swing my uh I forgot." Jack was so frightened, he carried Karen and ran to the farm. When he arrived at the farm he put Karen down and talked to his grandfather. "Grandpa, a demon showed up and I forgot the magic words!" Jack said. "What! You should've memorized it well. Okay, here it is again "I'll swing my sword with all my might, For all you demons to be out of sight.". His grandfather said. "Okay, I'll say it. "I'll swing my sword with all my might, For all you demons to be out of sight." Jack said. "Very Good! Who is that girl with you?" his grandfather asked. "Oh I forgot. This is Karen, I met her at the beach. She was there when the demon showed up." Jack said. "Hello Karen, please don't tell anybody about what you saw." Jack's grandfather pleaded. "I promise I won't tell." Karen said. Jack and Karen went out for a walk and then suddenly the demon showed up again! "Stand back Karen!" Jack said as he took out his sword. "I'll swing my sword with all my might, For all you demons to be out of sight." Jack chanted then a magical lion came out and killed the demon. "Are you alright Jack?" Karen asked. "Yeah. I think." Jack said. Jack walked Karen home. "You were amazing Jack." Karen said amazed. "Really? Thanks!" Jack said. Then Karen kissed Jack and said goodbye. Jack went home and he was surprised. His grandfather was lying on the floor dying. "J-Jack h-help m-me." His grandfather said weakly. "Grandpa? What happened?" Jack asked. "The King of all demons Ifrit came here and attacked me. H-help....." his grandfather said and died.
"Grandpa...G-grandpa! Speak to me! Please don't leave me! I swear Ifrit, I will kill you all!" Jack said angrily. He told the mayor that his grandfather died. "Say what! But how?" the mayor asked surprised. "I don't know. When I came home, he was lying on the ground lifeless." Jack lied. "Don't lie to me Jack. I know all about your grandfather. I was his fellow adventurer then. I know all about these demons. In fact, I know how to kill Ifrit." The mayor said. "How can I kill Ifrit? I want to kill him. Tell me!" Jack demanded. "Alright, you have to say the magic words three times with all your might! But are you strong enough to do it?" the mayor asked. "I can do it! For grandpa." Jack said. "Good! But you'll need a lot of practice. I can practice with you. We'll start tomorrow. I'll come over to your farm at eight o'clock. In the meantime your grandfather needs a funeral." The mayor said. That night, there is a mass and a funeral at the church. Everyone came and gave their condolences to Jack. "I'm sorry about your grandpa Jack. What happened?" Karen asked. "Let's go outside and tell you all about what happened." Jack said. "What! The king of all demons killed your grandpa?" Karen asked surprised. "SHH! Don't shout. The demons are a secret remember?" Jack said. "Oh, sorry Jack." Karen said. "Let's go for a walk and tell me about yourself and I'll tell you about me." Jack asked. "Okay." Karen said and they walked around the town. "I came here some ten years ago and I met a girl at Mother's hill. She has a beautiful voice but I can't remember her name. I promised her I will come back some day but she's gone. Do you know her?" Jack asked. "Oh Jack, I'm that girl. How can we not notice each other! I waited for you for so long. How big you've grown!" Karen said. "Oh Karen that was you. You look so different now!" Jack said. They were both so happy and they returned to the church.
