Chapter 5.
Chase's POV.
I was currently sitting on Selena's bed, stroking her hair as she breathed slow and steady breaths while wondering about Krane. I can't believe he challenged the entire kingdom to a war. That must mean he has a whole army. I was snapped out of my thoughts by someone saying my name, making my head look up to see Adam with a forlorn look on his face as he sat beside me, looking at Selena.
"I'm really sorry, Chase. You know that we have to fight against him though. To save the kingdom and her. Even though this would get you out of the treaty."
"What treaty?" I asked, intrigued.
"200 years ago. Airendelsa and Esplade went to war with each other. The only way to end the war was to make a treaty. The youngest son and daughter of each kingdom have to marry and rule the kingdom the large kingdom together, which is Airendelsa. Esplade just chooses their king out of the strongest man and then he marries the prettiest woman. That's why Esplade doesn't have the greatest kings and queens."
I chuckled a little at that just as Adam stood up.
"Let's go get our stuff. We're heading out in twenty minutes." He explained as he held his hand out.
I grabbed it as 8 stood up, glancing at Selena one more time before following my brother down to the armory, where he was already trying to find me some.
"Ok, let's try this one." He suggested as he fastened a breastplate on me, only for it to almost fall off. "No, that won't work." He sighed before grabbing the next one, which surprisingly fit.
After helping me put a LOT more armor on me, Douglas came over and handed me a sword, which I put in the holder.
"That is the most famous sword in the kingdom. Several knights and kings have used it in battle and rained victorious. Some even say it has magical properties while others simply say good luck or its just a sword. But this WILL destroy Krane and save Selena."
I nodded as I pulled my helmet on and tried to mount the horse, only to start falling before I was fully on. I heard Adam sigh as he pushed my foot into the stirrup before helping me get fully on.
"There we go. You ready?" He asked.
I nodded as I heard Douglas yell and everyone in front of me riding in front. I followed suit, silently praying we could stop Krane. We reached the start of the "battlefield" only to see Krane in the distance with humans, griffins, dragons and ogres on his side. Then I heard someone whisper in my ear. "We'll take care of the rest. Just focus on Krane." Only to see it was Leo.
"Thanks." I smiled before my face returned to serious as I glared at the man through my helmet.
Once again, I heard Douglas let out a battle cry. I quickly flicked my reins and the horse headed straight towards Krane. I was afraid that one of the soldiers of any type were gonna knock me off, but no one did as they continued to charge towards my family and the rest of the fighters, until I was face to face with Krane, who dismounted.
"Now, now, Chase. It won't be any fun unless we do this fairly. Just us and our swords. No horses, no shields."
I sighed as I dismounted my horse, leaving my shield and unsheathing my sword, making him smile evily as he did the same.
"Your move." He whispered menacingly.
I thought about the kingdom, Selena, and my family, making fire burn through my veins as I charged him and almost hit my sword against his armor, only for him to block it. We continued clashing our swords until my sword was flung out of my hands and I was pinned down with his foot on my chest as I let out slow, shallow breaths.
"Any last words?" He demanded as he pulled out his sword.
I noticed my sword was right beside my hand, so I immediately thought up a plan. Here's hoping Krane is gullible...
"What is that?!" I yelled as he turned his head, giving me the opportunity to grab my sword and get out from under his foot.
When he noticed what I did, he got enraged as he constantly started banging his sword against mine, and I thought I was winning, until there was a burning fire in my side and a evil grin on Krane's face while I fell to the ground, vision going dark as I saw a blurred shape charge Krane before I fully blacked out.
