Hey guys back again with chapter 3 I've been trying to get one out everyday and so far have succeeded
Well except for now because my internet is derping out and so I decided to still type this up and post it when the internet situation was fixed.

Chapter 3
Jack and Nara just sat around the fire thinking of all that had happened just in the small period of time since they woke up to now it being almost dark. Jack then looked over at Nara and said "So, any more questions you have for me before I decided to head off to bed?" He still said that he was thinking of heading off to bed even though he would never go to sleep fully his PTSD would not let him. Nara thought for a moment before adding in her question, "Why did you kill those Slave Traders?" Jack thought about his and then answered, "Because I told them to run away and they did not, anyway slavery is bad the less Slavers the less Keidran being sold as slaves." Then Nara asked her next question, "What magic did you use to kill those guards?" Jack thought for a second and then realized what she was talking about. "You see I told you I was not from here and where I come from there is no magic what I used is what most people carry as weapons where I come from." Nara was confused by this answer and asked, "Then what was it?" Jack pulled out his 1911 and showed it to her. "This is called a pistol, this is what you saw blow a hole in the guards as they tried to attack me. You see this has things in it called bullets." Jack reached into one of the pockets on his tac vest and pulled out a .45 caliber round. "You see this is what makes the loud boom and kills the person, you see inside the pistol there is a little pin and every time you pull this lever called the trigger it shoots the pin forward which hits this little ring in the center which ignites a substance called gunpowder inside this main part called the casing. After this is done the mini explosion pushes the tip of it which is called the bullet away from the casing at a speed higher than what you can see and hits the target before you can even say ouch." Nara seemed a little less confused but not by much of a difference between now and a minute ago. Nara then asked, "Then what is that bigger thing sitting on that stump?" Jack looked over and saw that he propped his M416 against a stump, "That is what this thing is just that it is called and assault rifle and uses a bigger bullet and casing." Jack pulled a rifle round out of one of the spare magazines that he had on his tac vest showing it to Nara. Nara just nodded still confused but she really didn't care. Jack then said, "Alright time to get some rest it's a long walk to the next village which I think is a port town due to this map, if we can get good time we should reach it in about a week and a half and luckily I took plenty of food from those traders for this trip because I don't think that last town will want us back. " Jack chuckled a little bit at the end there trying to add some humor into the otherwise boring night. Nara walked over to her tent and so did Jack but Jack had a question for Nara, "Nara I just have one question to ask." Nara looked over at him in a way of saying Go On. Jack then asked, "How do you not know where your home is?" Nara thought about this and said, "Because I was born into slavery." Jack nodded and understood she knew nothing she never really knew her family all she really knew was how to be a slave. Nara then went into her tent and fell asleep but Jack was never able to go to sleep for too much things had happened that day.
Jack got up and packed his stuff up at the first rays of sunlight that he could see. He got the fire going because it was still a little cold outside and Nara would be freezing when she woke up. He sat there waiting for her to get up giving her a time limit until he would just wake her so that they could get moving again. Jack looked over at Nara sleeping (Italicized is thought Bold is Keidran) Got to admit she is pretty cute. Jack then realized what he said and started mentally slapping himself why was he thinking in this way. He then looked back in the past and then remembered she had the eyes of his girlfriend back in college thinking of ths brought a tear to his eye. Jack and his girlfriend had been dating all throughout college since the day he saw her. They were planning on getting married when they got out of college he was going to invite his parents to dinner and she was going to invite hers on the story that it was a celebration for graduating. The plans where perfect and he already had the ring ready to go, but fate did not like it at all apparently. The day of graduation Jack was waiting for her to get there when a police officer showed up; the police officer walked over to him and asked, "Are you Jack Wilson?" Jack was surprised and answered back, "Yes sir." The police officers face turned to one of sadness and he then said, "Jack your girlfriend was driving over to here and in her excitement was not paying attention to when the light at an intersection went red and was T-Boned by a semi-truck." Jacks face went to instant sorrow and depression as he started crying and sobbing, all his plans were ruined and his dreams would never come true of him marrying his girlfriend with the name of Nara. That was 10 years ago that terrible experience happened and he would never forget it.
2 hours later Nara finally woke up and Jack made her hurry up and get her stuff ready because they were going to get back on the road and going. While Nara was busy packing up her sleeping role Jack took the job of cleaning up he took all of the ashes from the fire and spread them out everywhere so that they would be hidden by the grass and no one would notice the ashes. He then filled in the hole that he dug for the fire and then sprinkled some pepper around the campsite. Nara looked at him with a confused expression and asked him, "What are you doing?" Jack turned towards her and answered, "If someone tries to track us with dogs the pepper will get up in their nose and cause extreme pain and keep them from smelling anything for at least a day which would give us a large lead on them." Nara nodded seeing that the plan would work fine she remembered won day where she sniffed pepper and it got up in her nose and she couldn't smell anything and it hurt a lot. Then the Duo set back out again following the main path. After a few hours or so, Jack couldn't really time because he apparently was teleported with anything he was carrying and he left his watch on his nightstand, Jack decided that it would be a good time to rest up real fast and eat a quick meal before heading off again. Jack reached into his duffel bag and pulled out a smaller bag that had some dried meat in it, king of like beef jerky. He grabbed out 6 pieces that were fairly large and gave Nara 4 of the slices. Nara looked at him confused considering that he just gave her a smaller ration than what he had which she had never had happen to her as a slave she always got the leftovers. She just went along and happily ate her meat and after a while of sitting there they started walking again in the direction of the nearest port town. After a little longer Jack and Nara saw a sign on the side of the road surprised that there would be a sign so far out here they went over and looked at it. It was apparently a status board where they would post criminals so travelers could see what they looked like. On the board there was only four people on the board and a group too. They knew it was a group because it said that they were in a group it was just a small group of four there was two Keidran a human and a Baistilin. The two Keidran one being a tiger the other a dog and Baistilin had no names next to them for reasons that must be that they did not know the names of the Keidran but the human had a name by him. Next to the humans picture it said Trace Legacy. Nara gasped at the name she remembered it he was a Templar that killed a lot of Keidran but next to his name on the Notice Board it said that he was wanted for freeing a slave and killing some of the Templar. This confused Nara but she guessed that he realized what he was doing wrong and is now trying to fix it. Jack tapped on the picture of Trace and said "We need to find this guy he could use our help and we could use his." Nara nodded her head in agreement she didn't like the fact of trying to find a Templar or used to be Templar for help changed or not. They started walking again after ripping the signs down she could have sworn that she had seen that tiger before just she could not remember. After a little longer of traveling and many more miles of walking it started to get dark again so Jack found a good spot and started to set up camp he set up the two small tents that he had bought in the last town (before they ran him out) first, mostly because it felt to him like it was going to rain. Then he lit a small fire not wanting to attract to much attention to them and then sat down. Nara had completed putting her stuff in the tent and walked over to the fire and sat down. They just sat there watching a fire when out of nowhere a random man and about 5 guys walked out from the dense trees. "Why hello there traveler that is one mighty fine slave you have there, how much are you willing to sell her for?" the man asked. Jack then said, "She is not for sale." The man did not look to happy with this answer and looked at his men, "Kill him and take the tiger." Jack did not like this command but did not want to fire his pistol in fear of attracting more people. Unluckily they did not know that jack had study hand to hand combat for ten years alongside training with staffs, knives, and swords. The five men charged at Jack with full force and Jack reached over on his shoulder and pulled of his combat knife. The first man that got there swung a very fierce swing that Jack easily blocked and stabbed the man in the ribs slowly killing him. Then two came at him as one attack he blocked his attack and turned it on his own teammate so that his sword stabbed his friend. Jack then stabbed the one that just stabbed his friend in the side. With only two attackers left charging at him he quickly devised a plan as soon as one got close enough he kicked him right in the groin when he bent over in pain Jack slammed his face into his knee and with hardened kneepads on his pants broke his nose stabbing his brain killing him. And the last one he dodged him slipped behind him and slit his throat all of this happening in under ten seconds. The last man alive that Jack just called the ring leader had fear in his voice as he said, "Well if I cannot have her than neither can you." On the you the ringleader threw his sword and almost as in slow motion to jack the sword started heading straight towards Nara. Jack screamed, "NO!" And threw his knife at the sword hitting it midflight and knocking it out of the air. Jack ran up to the leader and started attacking him but Jack thought that the ringleader had no weapon he was wrong. The Ringleader brought out a knife and stabbed Jack in the side. Jack screamed in pain as the Ringleader laughed. Jack reached down grabbed the knife out of his side and stabbed the leader in the eye. Jack then fell to the ground the world getting spinney due to his loss of blood. Nara opened her eyes and saw that the Ringleader had a knife stuck in his eye but when she looked over at her side she saw Jack laying on the ground with blood coming out of the side of his chest. She jumped up as fast as possible and ran over to him he was still breathing and she instantly started to blame herself for what had happened to him. He had given up his weapon to protect her and then ran at a man with a weapon without a weapon. She then heard voices coming from the woods the best thing she could here was, "I heard fighting this way." She could not do anything so she made the smart move and started yelling, "Help me my master was attacked by bandits and was stabbed but he killed them all he needs help!" The voices started coming closer to her and then she saw them, there was about 10 people with torches and swords and when they entered the clearing they saw her standing there. When they saw her they ran over that direction and immediately checked him for what was wrong. The leader then said, "We need to take him to the town Cleric." The other people agreed and lifted up and started heading the direction that they came from. The leader turned towards her and said, "Good job getting our attention to help your master follow me to the village, all your masters stuff will be safe here I have four people watching it." She nodded her head and followed him back to the town where he led her to where Jack was at. "I assume you will want to stay here with your master then." Nara nodded her head in agreement to what he said. The man then left the room and Nara found a chair off in the corner of the room and took a seat in it. It looked like the clerk had already gotten the wound patched up and the sword out just that Jack was asleep. Nara was starting to dose of when suddenly the bed rustled and Nara jumped up and ran over to the side of it. Jack looked up at her and said, "Where am I Nara?" Nara replied with, "I heard people coming our way talking about hearing a fight so I called for help and so they took you to their town so that you could be healed by the towns Cleric." Jack smiled and gave her a thumbs up a sign she did good that is when he went off topic and asked her, "How old are you Nara?" Nara was confused with why this question was being asked and she answered saying, "10 years old, but Keidran age faster than humans do so really I am around 28." Jack was confused with this statement and then just shrugged it off it was kind of like dog years. The Nara said, "You need to rest you have been threw a lot I will watch for danger." Jack smiled and laid his head down on the pillow and then finally fell asleep. Nara went back over to her chair and sat down watching around making sure nothing happened but unfortunately she started nodding off until she finally fell asleep.
"Nara it is time that you finally learn who you really are and what your destiny is." Said a mysterious voice. Nara looked around but all she could see was white. "Your destiny is now starting to fall into place and be intertwined with that of Jack's destiny." Nara was confused why would her and Jack's destinies be intertwined, "Ohhhh I forget that I took away your memory, let me show you." Nara's view changed and it felt like she was a different person just that she could not control anything so she just went along for the ride. What she was seeing was strange she was walking threw a strange building one that she had never seen before. Off in the distance down the hall a little ways was a figure. As the person that was viewing everything that happened got close to the figure she realized that it was a younger and not as strong Jack. She was wondering how she was getting these images and then the scene skipped ahead a bit. Next the person that she was seeing everything from raised her hand and Nara saw that it was a human hand, so that somehow she was viewing the memories of a human. That is when young Jack said something, "I love you Nara you know that right." Nara was surprised could jack see her in this persons head. Then the person whose head she was in spoke, "Yes Jack I do." This surprised Nara telling her that she was not being spoken to and that the girl that's head she was in was also called Nara and had the same voice as her. Then timed seemed to skip again next to them sitting at a table. "Nara I have it all planned out we will invite both of our parents to dinner for a graduation celebration, or at least that is the cover to get everyone there. Than once everyone is there having fun eating I will tap my glass to get everyone's attention and then I will propose to you in front of everyone. So that everyone can see it happen." Nara was extremely surprised Jack had actually proposed to this girl then why wasn't he married right now to that girl. She kept thinking about this when she then saw the next memory of this human was one of her telling her parents that she was going or she would be late for rehearsal. She saw as the girl got into a strange machine that made a loud noise when she started it and then it started moving. She saw that the girl was going along and dancing around supposedly happy that she would be getting proposed to that night. Then she saw that before she stopped when the weird lights turned red but this time she was too busy dancing to notice that the lights were red. She saw as the girl got into the center of it all then she heard a loud noise on the girls left. The girls head turned over and saw what it was and It was a large machine like what she had only three times the size. The last thing that she heard come from the girl was a cry of sadness as the large machine smashed into the side of her small machine. But that was not all she then saw the whiteness she saw before she saw all of those memories and then the mysterious voice appeared, "Your destiny has not been completed yet so you are not dead you will be sent to a new world to fulfill your destiny and you will be reborn and not remember anything that happened before this conversation or even this conversation." Nara then tried to say something but could not she was still in the girls mind. The girl then said, "Why?" The Mysterious Voice just replied, "Because it is your destiny." Then all went black until now another memory popped up but this was one of her memories. Nara was confused it was dark then there was light around her she was surrounded by other tigers. Nara then instantly realized the connection between her and the girl that memories she just saw of her. They were not two separate people but they were the same. She was a human in Jack's world then she was hit by that big machine and then teleported over to here were she was born again as a Keidran. Then she heard the mysterious voice, "Good you have figured out what has happened and who you are, now I will give you all of your past memories, and by the way it's time to wake up." She saw tendrils of light reach out and strike her as memories of her past life flooded into her brain she now knew exactly who she was and what she needed to do.
