Chapter 5
"Shadow you've been staring at that medallion for a long time are you feeling okay?" Romeria asked. "I'm sorry it's just that this medallion brings back a lot of memories of my mother before she died, among other things." Shadow said. "Care to share those memories with us then,I'm dying to know what kind of parent your mom was." Ike stated. "Maybe some other time, right now I'm going to go to bed is that aliright with you guys?" Shadow asked yawning. "Do what you wish but just so you know the king wants to see you two in the morning." Lethe said pointing to Shadow and Ike. "Alright, but...uh..." Shadow started. "If you're thinking the examinations over then forget it, we never even got started so after you meet the king, Rhys is giving you a physical." Lyre said. "Aw man I don't even like getting shots let alone seeing a doctor." Shadow complained.
Later that night, Shadow started churning in his sleep. He saw that his home was burning and the demons were cutting down anyone who got in their way. As he wandered around he noticed that his mother stood in front of a robed man much like the one from earlier that afternoon but something was different, she was glaring at Shadow as if he did something wrong and without warning lashed out at her own son. "Argh! stop... mom... please... just stop, it hurts." Shadow cried out. His mother did not listen and continued her assault on the boy she called her son. Then, the motherly figure changed to the knight Shadow met days before who thereby start to swing one of his two large blades at him saying that he was "too weak". And then just before Shadow was about to be finished off, everything around him except for the flames that surrounded him and Shadow himself. "Wha-what's going on?" Shadow asked himself not realizing what was transpiring. "Dear boy there is something you need to know, unfortunately it can't be right now you are still too young, when the time is right I shall reveal myself to you." a benevolent voice said.
Shadow's eyes shot open as his upper half of his body rose from the bed. Not even a moment after rising did Shadow feel a lerge amount of pain coursing through his entire body. 'Ugh! Why am I in so much pain right now? And whose voice was that it couldn't be Romeria's or Lyre's it was far too caring for either of them, then again I really shouldn't judge people based on the sounds of their voices mom taught me better than that.' Shadow thought looking at the medallion that he decided to wear to bed. Shadow laid back down on his temporary bed and looked up at the ceiling all the while asking himself questions he didn't have the answers to. Minutes later he heard a knock at the door to his room. "Who is it?" Shadow asked. "Um...it's me." a familiar voice called out. "Come on in Romeria." Shadow said. The door opened to reveal Romeria wearing a yellow night-gown rubbing her eyes. "Shadow is it alright if I stay in here tonight for some reason I can't sleep." Romeria explained. "It's fine by me hang on let me get you something to drink first that might help." Shadow said getting out of bed and walking toward the gallian kitchen.
Lyre had shown the two around so it was easy to locate the kitchen that lead to the mess hall where all the soldiers ate at. there were many tables scattered about but all the chairs were resting the tables themselves instead of on the floor. Shadow ignored this and continued to advance on the kitchen when he caught a light from a candle. thinking that one of the other people he met before was grabbing a midnight snack he walked on and toward the sink were he thereby grabbed a glass from the shelf and filled it with water. However when he turned around he came face to face with none other than...Lethe. "What are you doing out of bed boy?" Lethe growled. "I only came in here to get Romeria a glass of water she can't seem to sleep that's all." Shadow explained. "Fine hurry it up and return the glass when you're done got it." Lethe demanded. "Sure but before i go let me ask you something." Shadow said turning around. "Out with it then." Lethe hissed. "Why is it you hate the beorc who are trying to be nice to you are you being protective of your sister? Do you really believe that one of us might stab you in the back? Or is it simply because you just plain hate us all?" Shadow asked. "It's all three you stupid beorc you're all evil, coniving, arrogant, weak beings that rely on weapons and magic to fight." Lethe spat. "In other words you think we're all the same am I right?" Shadow asked. "Hmph! I don't need to answer anymore of your question now get out of my sight!" Lethe shouted. Shadow then turned back towards the door and proceeded to walk down the hall and give Romeria the glass of water.
Romeria in the meantime was wondering what was taking Shadow so long. "Did he get lost or something? Ooooh! I hope nothing bad has happened to him." Romeria said out loud. "You worry too much Romeria and sorry I took soo long I had a run-in with Lethe." Shadow said walking through the doorway. "Really did she threaten you?" Romeria asked him. "No I explained that I was getting you a glass of water, but before I left I did ask why she hates the beorc." Shadow explained in detail about the late night encounter with Lethe and the questions that followed. Romeria found it hard to believe that Lethe hates them simply because she thinks they'll stab her in the back. "Anyway let's get you back in a bed first then I'll return the glass to the kitchen." Shadow said putting Romeria in a bed next to his own. Shadow Left the room again and proceeded down to the kitchen. 'It can't really be that simple there must be some deep-seated hatred that may have happened in the past, oh well if she hates then she hates us but that doesn't mean that we can't change that opinion of hers.' Shadow thought as he walked down the hall. just as he stepped into the mess hall Shadow noticed something odd floating in the middle of the room. A large yellow ball of light constantly bobbed up and down in the middle of the mess hall which made Shadow very curious. "This day just gets wierder and wierder." Shadow said to himself as the ball of light engulfed him.
Shadow woke up minutes after getting swallowed by the light rubbing his head in a circular motion. "Ugh someone needs to tell me why I'M the only one that this shit happens to." Shadow said still rubbing his head. It was then that a ghostly figure appeared before him. "You who wields a sword fight me, if you can land a single blow on to me, then I shall pass on to you a secret technique very few from this world can learn." the ghost stated. Shadow looked around him and on his person and found that he was fully clothed and that he held at his side a different weapon than the one he found at Romeria's house, "A secret technique huh? Alright, I'm game let's see what you're made of...uhhhh never mind." Shadow said readying himself and looking at the ghost noticing that he was nothing but a skeleton encased in an ancient armor. the two warriors were ready now they just need to wait until one of them made a move. Shadow could hear a small shuffle and immediately charged at his opponent.
Me: Again my chapters are a little short I must not be on the ball or something or maybe I'm startinf to get writer's block
Croix: Maybe you just need a break and write some of your ideas down before posting them.
Me: maybe you're right but still there's always the possibility that the lack of reviews might be getting to me.
Croix: or that. Listen guys plz review his work and be honest if you think it's that well written let him know but be nice and if you want give him some ideas i mean for god's sake if he doesn't get reviews he may just go insane. And i mean the bad kind of insane not the insane that gets people to like him willingly. thnx
