Chapter 2: The Second Day
The day after Save's mission to get the prince's cat, he's in his backyard with Xigbar waiting for Zilant to come and get them for their next mission. After an hour they got bored so they started to practice their fighting skills, Save with two long swords and Xigbar with a halberd. As they practiced Save's sisters sat on a bench watching.
"So, how everything with Botan?" asked Xigbar.
"Pretty good, I'm gonna go see her tonight," replied Save.
"Good," said Xigbar, smiling at his friend.
"Save! Try using that new attack you developed!" yelled his blonde little sister.
"Sapphire! I was gonna try it out in real battle!" Save yelled back at Sapphire.
"So what's this new technique?" asked Xigbar.
"I'll show you Xigbar," replied Save. Taking his stance for his new technique. "Harike!" yelled Save as he lifted in the air and created a small horizontal whirl wind and torn apart one of the sparing posts in his yard.
"Nice," Xigbar said from near Save's sisters, having moved so he wouldn't be in Save's way.
"Yeah!" Save's sisters exclaimed.
"Thanks… Sapphire, Garnet," Save said to his kid sisters, smiling.
"What was that?" a voice behind them said.
Save and Xigbar turned around to see Zilant. "Zilant!" yelled Save.
"What's our next mission?" asked Xigbar.
"A few marauders have been spotted in the desert, we are to eliminate them," replied Zilant in a calm tone.
"Really? Sweet! Time to use my new technique!" exclaimed Save. (Killing people is not a big deal for people of this day… especially if they aren't part of your society.) Xigbar begins to laugh.
"You have a new technique?" asked Zilant.
"Yes, I do…" replied Save.
"Well, than I'll look forward to it, let's go!"
"Yes sir!" Both of the other Spirit Knights shouted.
About 5 hours later Save, Xigbar, and Zilant are scouting the desert for signs of the Marauders. "Guys! Come look!" shouted Save at his partners. They come running to him.
"Find something?" asked Zilant.
"Yeah… foot prints… and not Zealian from shoes." replied Save.
"Okay shall we follow them?" asked Xigbar.
"Yes let's go," answered Zilant and the three ran to follow the foot steps.
After about 20 minutes they came to a cave and entered it. "Damn… can't use Harike in here…" Save said very sorrowfully.
"You can use your attack later…" Zilant said in a low tone.
The three come across the Marauders, finding that there is 3 of them so each took one. After about 15 minutes the marauders are dead. "That was easy…" sighed Save up top a rock.
"Yeah," replied both of his friends.
"Well let's go home," Zilant said to his friends.
"Right!" said both of them.
The three leave the cave and make a pathway to the Zealian castle. About halfway an explosion erupts about fifty meters away to there right, or south. "What was that!" shouted Save.
"I don't know… it could be a Desert Dragon though," replied Xigbar.
"Let's check it out," yelled Zilant at them because he was a little ahead of them.
"Right!" yelled the other two back at him.
As the three approached the explosion site they heard laughter and a deep voice say, "Finally I have all three… now to test them out on someone…"
Who's this? thought Save.
"Who's there!?" shouted the voice and as the dust cleared they saw a hooded figure.
"Who are you?" shouted Zilant back at him.
"I'm the Chaos Knight Dalton! I've been chasing a thief to retrieve what's mine," spoke the hooded figure.
"A Chaos Knight? What's that?" asked Save.
"A rogue Spirit Knight you fool!" shouted Dalton, charging him.
Zilant catch the Chaos Knight and throws him back. "So? We have some prodigies here?" said Dalton as he landed on his feet.
"Maybe, or maybe not…" replied Xigbar pulling out his lance and Save un-sheathed his swords.
"We shall see…" said Dalton softly.
About 30 minutes later all three Spirit Knights are almost out of energy while Dalton still stands, breathing heavily and about collapse. Damn… these kids are really powerful prodigies… he thought to himself. He than carried them to the edge of the royal city of Enhasa.
