Chapter 8
"How much longer till we reach the top?" Shayne asked. Earlier in the morning the three of them found a small girl who decided she'd help guide their way up the mountain since they didn't know where to start.
"We're about half way," she informed them.
"Only half way," Shayne said, you could hear in his voice how tired he was.
"Yep." She said.
"Oh come on Shayne. I thought you had more energy than this," Mia said.
"I do. But not when I didn't eat breakfast this morning." He responded.
"Well it's your fault for eating everything on the ship?" Kan informed him.
After that come,t they heard Shayne's stomach growl. "I'm hungry!" He yelled out.

After about two more hours they finally reached the top of the mountain. Where there they found a small little village settlement. "This is where the sword makers live," the girl told them.
"Where's Blade?" Shayne asked.
"He loves in that house at the end of the street," she said. "Follow me, I'll introduce you to him."
When they arrived at the house the girl brought them around to the back. There they saw a small shed and the sound of someone hammering metal from inside. "Hey Blade! I brought some people who want to meet you!" The girl yelled out.
then the door to the shed opened. "Really, who would that be?" A tall muscular man, around 18, came out. "Hey my name is Blade he said.
"My name is Shayne," Shayne said introducing himself. "I want you to join my crew!" he yelled out.
"Your crew?" Blade asked.
"Yeah my pirate crew!" Shayne yelled. "They're already in it as well." Shayne said pointing to Mia and Kan.
"So you only have two people in this crew?" He asked.
"Yeah. And when you join we'll have four." He explained.
"So why do you want me?" Blade asked him.
"Because," he started. "Everyone on this island says you're the strongest. And I want to have the strongest swordsman on my crew."
"Well, I guess your right," Blade said. "I mean my whole family is made up of strong swordsmen."
"Family?" Mia asked.
"Yeah. The Blade Family!" Blade started explaining. "You know this island was actually named after us as well when my great-great-great grandfather discovered it."
"Really that's so cool." Shayne said. "Now you have to join my crew!"
"Well I don't know about that," Blade said.
"You see that mountain over there." He pointed, and the three of them nodded their heads. "It's a volcano, and there's this dragon that lives in it-"
And then he was cut off "So you're saying that before you can leave we have to defeat this dragon!" Shayne yelled. "I'll do it!" He said with determination showing in his eyes.
"What? Are you serious!" Blade said. "I have yet to make a sword that can cut through one of his scales!"
"Don't worry!" Shayne said. "I'll find a way to defeat him. And Kan will help me!" He said looking over to Kan.
"What seriously!" Kan yelled
"Yeah!"
