"remember soldiers, the best weapon against fear is love, not bravery. for when you'll prove fear, bravery could leave you behind but love, makes you be brave all along!"
Kozmotis Pitchiner (1st fearling's war)
Pitchiner was speaking with some people that filmed for the Lunanoof-tv while all children were outside playing.
Sandy looked at the general then in a corner of the garden where he saw a wonderful plant. He loved plants as well as light itself. For him, a tree was meaning of life
The bush suddenly moved making Sandy look a little closer until his friend came.
"Sandy? What's wrong?" Sunny asked as Sandy turned to him, than at the plant again
"nothing..." he said suspiciously looking at the plant for a few seconds, than shrugged and returned to play again..
(this encounter made me crazy) he thought as someone...well something, spied him from behind that plant...
Sunny played with some rocks until a blue-rock was thrown near that bush.
(woah...pretty) thought Sunny that went close to that rock...
Sandy turned frenetically to his friend, an unfamiliar feeling welling up in his chest
Danger...Fear...
All of this didn't go unnoticed by the general who, still answering to the men's questions, kept an eye in Sanderson's direction.
As soon as Sunny pulled up that rock, a fearling came out from the bush, lunging for the little star.
Sunny screamed covering his face with his hands, falling on his knees in fear, not even trying to defend himself...
He couldn't defend himself
Stars were not trained to fight nightmares until high-school
Sunny waited for his fate that didn't come
As he raised his sight again, he saw his friend Sandy literally whipping the fearling, with his dreamsand, in his chest making it back away a few metres.
In this couple seconds, teachers had gathered all the children that screamed and ran around in fear.
Pitchiner was astonished to see a star mastering the dream-sand so young
Well of course Sandy was able to use dream-sand thanks to his years of theoric study, but still, he wasn't supposed to be so strong to face a fearling.
The creature of darkness got up and lunged again for Sandy that, whipped around his sand again, hitting the nightmare in the face.
The fearling shout out in anger and attacked the sand-waver grasping his sand-whips, slowly turning them to black.
Sanderson's eyes widened as he immidiately let go of the whips while the nightmare attacked him with a mad smile on his face.
He closed his eyes, sure to be hit, but he never was.
Pitchiner was standing right in front of him with his Schyte drawn and cut in half the fearling that dissolved into nothing.
Sandy took big breaths in order to restore his energy... at the age of 100 years, such as Sandy was, it was almost impossible to master dream-sand, let alone attack; of course he was tired, tired but happy to have helped.
Pitchiner turned facing the star
"you don't fail to amaze me, Sanderson" Pitchiner said as Sandy smiled
"Sandy! Sandy!" Sunny screamed "are you alright?" he asked while Kozmotis looked at him
"you knew he could use dream-sand?" Pitchiner asked as Sunny nodded
"yes but, i didn't know he had such courage" Sunny said looking over his younger friend as teachers arrived
"thanks a lot General Pitchiner, you saved them" an oversized, arrogant teacher said while Sunny huffed (it was thanks to Sandy too you fat-face) thought Sunny.
"would you like to follow me Sanderson?" Pitchiner asked with a smile, tending a hand to Sandy who looked at him.
"where to?" asked Sandy earning another smile from the general
"oh why, to the Lunanoff palace" Pitchiner said earning a general gasp from everyone around him in shock
"B-But that's the place, where the golden army stays!" said Sunny as Pitchiner mphn'd
"yes, and where the Lunanoff family lives" Pitchiner added. Sanderson was speachless, he was going to meet the Lunanoff family? Along with the golden Army?
"oh, well...yes, of course" Sandy shyly said as the general took Sandy's hand into his own making him blush deeper with pride at the touch
"god, how i envy him..." Sunny said behind the crew in a pout but then smiled at his friend
(good luck Sanderson...i knew you were special in some way)
Sunny thought while approaching his friend giving him an happy hug saying goodbye as Sandy left.
Sunny and, all the school watched in mixed wonder and envy as Sandy left along with Pitchiner. Sunny was still smiling, but didn't know what was about to happen….
Sunny will be killed in the dark ages' war 120 years later when he'll be 25 (250 yrs old) from a fearling for trying to hide his friend Sanderson from the nightmare king's grasp.
