Chapter 2:Meeting, Wolves, and, Jack
Chess piece Castle:
The queen was sitting in her throne when Peta was bowed before giving her his report on the ARM Babbo.
The queens smiles at the news "so, Babbo has been awaken?" then frowns after she finished "who has possession of Babbo now?" she asked him curious as to what fool would dare cross the chess pieces.
Peta with his head still bowed replies " a young lady or so, I am told by my informants..." he trailed off waiting for the queen to give him an order.
The queen stands up from her throne and, walks to the window with her hands behind her back "I don't care what you got to do or, who you get to kill as long as I obtain that arm"am I understood?" she commanded of Peta behind her still bowed.
Peta stands then bows to the queen again "considered it done" he informed her as he disappeared from the throne room.
Waiting a few moments the queen then summons Halloween to come before her which he does " you summoned me my queen?" he asked behind her.
The queen turns around and, looks at him "yes I did and, it's time we start the war games again it had gotten too quiet for my liking and, since Babbo has been awaken so is he and, I want you to retrieve him and, bring him here am I understood?" she commanded Halloween.
Halloween grins at this "with pleasure my queen" he told her as he fades away to do as she commanded leaving the queen alone to get ready with her meeting with the young blond Peta had found.
In the hallway of the castle
Rolan is leading Ginta to the throne room where his queen was sure to be waiting there arrival and, as the blond follows closely behind him he glances back to see Ginta looking at all the portraits in the hallway with awe.
Rolan then couldn't help a small chuckle that escaped his lips as he was amused by the blond being awed by just painted pictures.
The chuckle caused Ginta to blush lightly in embarrassment for acting like a little kid in an amusement park excited by the gaming stands lining the walkway.
Rolan see this then stops and, turns around "sorry I didn't mean to make fun of you its just nice to see someone be amazed by the portraits here but, considering you came from another world I shouldn't have laughed" he bowed in apology to the blond in front of him.
Ginta shakes his head waving the Apology off "it's ok and, I was asking for it gawking like that which is in a sense rude but! Enough about that lets meet with your queen I am so psyche about it! I mean a real queen! The only queen I was ever told about that existed popularly is the Queen of England!" his places his hands behind his head grinning at Rolan.
Rolan cocks his head to the side curiously and, cross his arms "The Queen of England?" he asked never had he heard of that queen before in the history of MAR.
Ginta chuckles "it's a lady who rules England well not really rules but, back then she did now its parliament that calls the shots and, lives in the capital of London in Buckingham palace" he informed the clueless man in front of him.
Rolan was only silent at the explanation which there in turn caused Ginta to bow and, apologize to Rolan "sorry about that I mean it is in my world which you have no clue about like I'm just as clueless here" he told Rolan straightening up and, placing one behind his head grinning.
Rolan looks at Ginta before giving him a small smile "we really must be going we do not want to make the queen wait" he said leading him the rest of the way to the throne room.
Knocking three times Rolan then enters after hearing an enter leading Ginta to the queen before bowing before her "my queen I have brought the young blond Ginta to you as you asked" he informed her.
The queen looks at Ginta and, then gives him a kind smile "welcome Ginta to Lestavia castle I do hope your accommodations are to your liking?" he asked Ginta in a gentle kind voice that makes the blond like her already.
Grinning at the Queen runs a hand threw his blond locks "yes, thank you and, I hope I'm not too rude but...uh...where's your court and, ladies in waiting or, musicians or, what not that usually occupies a throne room?" he asked expecting something more then just the Queen and Roland.
The Queen giggles at that "my you say such strange things no doubt the idea came from the world you left am I correct?" she asked him with a smile since she doesn't have the mask on at the moment.
Ginta blushes at that in embarrassment forgetting he is in another world where everything he has guess from his world had absolutely no value here.
The queen noting his discomfort waved it off "you don't need to be embarrassed I mean after all you have only knowledge of the world you came from there is no need to be shame in that and, besides we can learn just as much about you and, your world as well as you know about our world" he told him kindly hoping that would make him feel better.
Ginta smiles at the queen glad to know he can be himself "thank you! You must be a very beloved queen your so kind and, thank you for letting me stay in your castle since I'm new and, all I wouldn't know where to go!" he said bowing in thanks to her.
The queen waves him off "think nothing of it and, as much as I would love to spend more time with you I have a lot of matters to attend too so, I hope you can stick will Rolan so, you can get lunch and, a tour of the castle" she told him smiling still.
Ginta frowns a little "already? Well you do have a country to run so, it would be rude to ask for more of your time hopefully we can talk again and, maybe I can meet the king of this castle" he said grinning in excitement to meet the king now.
The queen pretends to ponder about this "well I will see what I can do to get extra time and, having you meet with the king but, for the moment please enjoy yourself around the castle" she told him getting out and, looking at Rolan "Rolan take good care of our guess will you?" he told him softly as she turns and, starts to head out.
Rolan bows to her retreating back "of course my queen it would be a pleasure" he told her as he sees her exit threw the door before turning to Ginta "well shall we have lunch?" he told his blond companion.
Ginta has a gleam in his eye at the mention of lunch since he was starving and the food would be most welcomed right now "of course! Lets mosy to the dining hall!" he said excited to get to grub.
Rolan chuckles at the terminology used for lunch they were about to have as he turns around and, walks out the door again the blond following him closely as they make their way to the dining hall for lunch.
The king's chamber
The queen enters and kneels in front of the king "I have met with the blond like you suggested and, I have been pleasant and, kind to him and, he seems to be taken in by my personality" she told the king.
The king chuckles darkly "good, good...everything is going according to plan and, soon he will be a loyal knight also what else did you and, the boy speak about?" he asked his queen.
The queen still bowed "we talk about nothing important but, he did express his excitement of spending more time with me and, hoping to meet you as well...and, knight?" she asked curious why that child would be automatically assigned as a knight.
The king pauses for a moment before speaking "he is an other worlder and, also the son of Danna he of course is automatically accepted as a knight upon joining and, I do not like being question my queen all you have to do is do what I tell you too I have everything mapped out all I have to do is execute it with your help of course" he told her with a slight edge to his voice.
The queen fearing the tone bows a little deeper "I am sorry to have questioned you my king I will get him to join and, place the zombie tattoo on him" she got up and, left knowing she had been dismissed.
On the road in the small island far away from the country of Lestava
Koyuki and Bappo are heading in a random direction after parting from Dorothy to see more of MAR and, find her friend/crush Ginta.
While walking beside Bappo she glances at him "hey Bappo can you tell me more about this world?" she asked excited to know about this new place she is now currently residing in.
Bappo hopping beside her looks at her "there is not much to tell we have rulers, ARMS, good people and, bad people...nothing really you need to know and, anything you want to know its best you find out on your own so, it makes it more exciting to discover about this world by your own hard work" he told her then grinned "so! How was my pose did I sound and, look cool enough?" he asked her excitedly.
Koyuki sweat drops at this before the smile a fake one "you were Bappo! I was really impressed!" she said cutely as they continue on their way.
A few minutes later they are interrupted by a loud grumbling noise that makes Bappo look around for a few second before realizing it came from his companion "hungry ma'am morsel?" he asked her knowing the answer already.
Blushing in an embarrassment she nods "yeah...its been awhile since I gotten here and I am really hungry" she informed him places a hand on her rumbling stomach.
As they continue forwards down the path again they stop at this huge patch well not exactly huge but, a pretty decent size area of fruit or, was it veggies and, needless to say they made both Koyuki and Bappo drool at the sight.
Koyuki looks around to see if anyone was around here and, finding no one she bows and, mutters a quick "excuse me" before they both helped themselves with the good tasting veggies.
After her 3rd one and, for Bappo his 5th one they are suddenly startled by a banging sound as they looked up to see what she thought was a monkey a few feet away from then but, on a closer inspection with squinting her dark colored eyes she sees that it's a human.
The humans in question had an angry look on his face with a spade strapped onto his back and, a hoes in his hands brandishing it threatening at them before shout "YOU STUPID WOLVES GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE-" he cuts himself off as he blinks and, looks at a human and, a arm both in the middle of eating another veggie and stunned.
They look at each other in silence for a few moments then look at the boy before Koyuki grins "wolves!?" she asked excitedly even thought the way she said it he wasn't nearly as excited as she was.
Before the boy could respond an elderly woman came out that seem generally happy with life with all the laugh marks on her face making her seem very kind and, welcoming.
Smiling at them "I'm glad you liked Jack's veggies he grew them himself!" she said proudly before moving on "why don't I fix us some dinner!" she said cheerfully ignoring her son as he was starting to protest and, sighs giving up and, follows his mother inside their dwellings.
Koyuki looks at Bappo before smiling "it will be nice to meet others and, its only right we apologize for eating their vegetables without their permission" she said gets up and, dusting herself off before heading in.
Bappo hops along side her "your correct and as a gentlemen I must apologize for I do not want to be branded as a thief it just would do right with a gentlemen such as I!" he said as he too enters the house with Koyuki.
Later
They are sitting around the small worn table eating Jack's honest grown vegetables when Koyuki not to soon after they started easting bows to them "we are sorry we ate your vegetables without your permission its just we were so, hungry and, they looked good" she apologized to them feeling bad about the whole thing.
Jack's mother waves it off "no need to apologize and, I'm glad you like them Jack has the best green thumb around these parts much like his late father" she said with a sad sigh thinking about her lat husband.
Koyuki glances at Bappo who glance back and, then she glances at Jack's mom "what happened to your husband if you don't mind me asking?" she wonder curiously what could make this cheerful woman so sad.
The mother looks at them before she smiles sadly "ya see there was this big war for the safety of MAR heaven a few years back and, my husband Jack's father went of to fight in the wars but, unfortunately...he never came back and, not to soon after a man came by and, drop that arm that my husband use to will saying my husband's last words was to give it to Jack which I did" she said in a subdue voice.
Koyuki and Bappo both look sad ⌠"were sorry to hear that ma'am and, I shouldn't have ask I didn't mean to bring up such a painful memory" she bowed again apologize for her rude question.
The mother waved it off taking a deep breath "its ok its in the past and I feel alittle better talking about to another person thank you for you sediments" she told them smiling at them kindly.
Koyuki looks at Jack now "what about the wolves? You were shouting before?" she ask curiously how wolves could be such a problem.
Jack looks at his plate darkly "those wolves...they come every night ripping up our garden and, pigging out on our vegetables without paying or, anything like that! They think just because my father is gone the garden if free game!" he said stabbing his food now viciously.
His mother looks depressed again at her son's anger and, knowing that after a few attempts already she couldn't calm her son down when he was angry and. Also he had good reason to be since their income depended on their crops.
Taking a deep breath Jack continues on "I tried...I go out each night and, I..., I don't know just freeze there two werewolves that eat our vegetables night after night and, each time I go out...I mean there so big and, I can't moves and, each time they mock me...and, I..." he trails off can't finding the right words.
Bappo has this look on his face since every time he does something that cool he must be in form when he tells Jack "well obviously your not trying hard enough" which got Jack to replay with a "what?!" which Bappo replies "well a real man would fight and, try their hardest to win even if the odd are against them or, if their opponent were stronger then them they would still fight!" he told him sagely.
A few minutes later then he starts hopping around excitedly "well did I get my good side? Was I cool! And suave!" he asked Koyuki as she sweat drops and, nods to appease him which it does making him even more hyper then before.
Meanwhile across the table Jack was looking at his food thoughtfully and, going over Bappo words about being a man and fighting till the bitter end like his father did and so, he will do as well.
Later that night
Jack suddenly bolts awake hearing the noise that he has always heard since his dad died the prowling of wolves tearing up his garden yet again.
Looking out the window and, seeing it a full moon gulps not sure if he want to deal with them tonight but then he remembered what Bappo has said earlier and, taking both his hands and, slapping his tanned face he gets up and, goes to prepare to take on the wolves.
Outside the house
The wolves are busy eating and, tearing up the hard worked on land when their ears twitch since they have such good hearing a door opening more specifically the front door to the house to be exact when they grin to each other knowing who would come out here in the middle of the night like this.
They didn't have to wait long before they spotted Jack a few feet away in his regular "battle attire" which was some hoes and spades he glares at the wolves who laughs at him waiting for the same old speech he give every time he tries to confront them night after night.
Jack growls at them "what's so funny?!" he exclaimed angry at them for laughing at him and, making him feel weak knowing deep down their laughing at him for being a coward with empty threats but, dammit all to hell if he told them that.
The elder wolf brother looks at jack with amused eyes before grinning at him "why you Jack you come out every night to threaten us and, you always run back inside with your tail between your legs like you would be any different this night?" he asked a question they all knew the answer to.
The younger wolf snickers "yeah and. Don't take us lightly for being vegetarians because we can steal chew you up and spit you out with these claws and, teeth and, leave your dead carcass for you dear ol' mom to find the next morning" he flexed his sharp claws to prove a point.
Jack gulps and, shakes like he does night after night till he clinches his fists and, bites in inner cheek and takes one step forward brandishing his spade at the wolves steeling himself to at least this night strike back at them.
The wolven brothers laugh at him "oh look little bro he actually might attack us oh what will we do?" he asked in mocked fright to his younger sibling.
The little brother chuckles "I don't know I am SO scared I mean he has a spade and ,all how will we ever defeat him?" he asked with as much mocked fright as his elder brother.
The elder laughs then looks at Jack "you sure ya wanna do that cuz after ya we are done with ya were going tear up your mother real good" he grinned menacing at him.
Jack growls and, he pulls off his bracelet with his father shovel arm on it as it catches the moon's light and, makes it shimmer as it swings back and forth from the force he held it out.
The wolves stop laughing and, eyes the arm he has curious to see what he will do with a puny weapon like that which he never was able to summon before.
Jack clinching the arm yell "DON'T YOU HARM MY MOM!" he shouted as the arm starts to glow and becomes a full grown silver shovel.
The wolves and Jack are very much surprised he could have pull it off which in turn made Jack laugh as he suddenly filled with confidence and, with a battle cry attacks able to smash the elder wolves who was caught off guard to stumble back shocked that he hit him.
The younger brother snarls and, about ready to pounce when a vegetable come out from no where and bashes the younger Wolf back breaking a few of his teeth as the wolf howls in pain.
Jack look at the vegetable confused but, seconds later to find out its Bappo in disguised and Koyuki stepping out from the side of the house grinning at Jack.
Jack blinks then grin accepting as he sees another flash and Bappo has smashed the older brother too making them both run away with their tails between their legs.
Jack turns to Bappo "thank you and thank you Koyuki for the help" he said grateful to them "no problem and, I was tough and cool no? like a true gentlemen! And, how do you like my outfit?!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Jack sweat drops "your dressed like a vegetable how is that cool?" he asked dryly as he eyes the colors that don't look appealing on a arm with a face.
Koyuki laughs "it was my idea and, I think he looks stunning and, besides a gentlemen needs to be dressed right?" she asked smiling at jack which in turn made Jack blush and, nod agreeing with her.
Tomorrow
Jack's mother is grinning at them "thank you so much again for your help! And jack!" whacks him behind his head then hugs him "don't you every do that again you had me worried! You would have at least asked them for help!" she said firmly to him.
Jack ducks his head in embarrassment "sorry ma I didn't mean to..." he trailed off feeling bad that he made his mother worry about him a lot.
His mother stands and smiles "that's ok! And you will be helping them in their travels!" she exclaimed pointed to Bappo and Koyuki.
Jack gapes at her "but ma!" he tried to protest but his mother cuts him off "no! a lady such as herself shouldn't be traveling by herself with just an arm as strong as it may be and, I can look after the farm don't worry about me and get going ya hear?" she told him firmly hands on her hips.
Jack knowing that he lost this argument nods and, heads inside to pack his things which doesn't take long before he rejoins Bappo and Koyuki and, they bid his mom farewell as they head off to some destination they are not sure of.
