The Blaze
Chapter 5
The Brother's Oath
A bright day, as the Kirbies and Odin approach a garden full of Peach Trees. The fruits, still buds, hanging next to snow-white leaves. It was a beautiful spot to behold. Odin's single eye twinkled in delight. Even the fierce Red Kirby had calmed. Then they stopped, right in the middle of the garden. Odin wondered why. Soon, he saw five swords sitting next to the only large sycamore in the garden. The kirbies each picked one up. The Odin picked up the last one. It was a handcrafted beauty. The blade was shining silver, while the hilt was a comforting crimson color, then, the last feature almost made him drool-a beautifully cut, handcrafted emerald, placed in the hilt.
"Odin, if you are to stay with us, this must be done, so, please wait," Yellow said. He gathered himself, Odin, and the other Kirbies in a circle.
"Although only four of us are siblings to each other, the four of us swear, you may join us in not only in friendship, but also in a brotherly bond..." Yellow said, sticking his sword skyward, but towards the center of the circle.
"...and also vow, we never stand alone!" continued a child-like voice, it was...Kirby? He thrust his sword against Yellow's.
"If we do, we break this oath!" Two more childish voices added on...Red and Green. Odin knew the final part, by heart, and thrust his sword, yelling his final verse.
"Now, we five shall forever be brothers by oath. We will forever stand tall!" and with these words, their swords all shined together in the sunlight, and then, the short ritual was over...Odin was now a member of their family. They then walked on home. They were done.
Afterwards...
"Hey, Odin, can you help with the table?" Yellow called.
"Sure!" Odin said, placing utensils on the dining table. He really felt like a member of the family, now. After a few more minutes, dinner ensued. There was ham, cabbage, pasta, turkey, beef and salad. He was then confirmed.
He was a member of the family.
There is more, but we'll see this in...
