Light of the Ancients

Chapter 4

The Search for the Hero of Light

"My ancestors told me about this." Lest paced around the room with a book in his hand,

"You better not have taken me away from my paradise for nothing!" Frey yelled angrily as she saw the knight quickly flip pages,

"Uh... Uh..." Lest mumbled, "Ah ha!" he exclaimed, "Place your rapier on the pedestal!" he told her,

"O- Ok?" Frey said and walked up to the pedestal which used to house the Blade of Light, "Like this?" she pressed it down,

KROOK! The Pedestal sounded, like a key opening a lock,

"Yes!" Lest laughed, "Ha ha! Nice one! Now, turn it 90 degrees..."

"Alright." Frey nodded and revolved around the stone outcropping,

KLOCK! KLOCK! The locks opened,

SHWEOOOO! A huge beam of light appeared from a gate behind them,

"Ah ha!" Lest exclaimed, "This is great! You unlocked it!"

"Unlocked what?" Frey asked, still staring at the portal,

"My ancestors suspected the Hero entered the Light Realm." Lest grinned as he ran to grab his spear, "However, we did not have the Key Rapier to open it, thank you so much, Frey!" he laughed, "You can go now! I can handle it from here!" he said and entered.

"A-are you sure?" Frey called out, but too late, the knight had already entered,

"Kree..." Senti popped out of her shirt, "Kree! Kree!"

"I guess we can help him..." Frey told her, "Alright..." she nodded and took out her rapier, "Let's go!" she said and jumped inside.

000000000

"I told you to stay behind." Lest grumbled when he saw Frey pop out of the portal,

"Why?" Frey asked, and at that split second the portal closed.

"Hey!" the two yelled,

"Ah!" Lest yelled, "Frey! Ugh!" he growled,

"I just wanted to help out, ok!?" Frey defended herself, "At least be thankful that I decided to help you!"

"It's not much if we're stuck here!" Lest argued, "Ugh! I was taught never to trust a woman!" he yelled, "I have failed my ancestors!"

"You pig!" Frey hit him on the head,

"Oy!" Lest yelled, "Why you!" he hit her on the cheek,

"Ah!" Frey screamed, "Grah!" she pounced on him.

"OOF!"

POOMP! POOMP! Frey landed to consecutive punches on his face,

"Argh!" Lest said as he tried to hold back her assaulting arms, "Hah!" he turned over, now he was on top.

SLAP! SLAP! Lest delivered his assault.

"Ay!" Frey screamed, "Why you!" she punched his chest,

"Ah!" Lest budged, his armor absorbing the hit,

"Kree!" Senti popped out of Frey's cleavage, "RA!" she launched a magic blast at the knight.

"DWAH!" Lest was launched off,

POOMP! He landed on the ground.

"Ha... Ha..." Frey panted as she slowly stood up,

"You will pay for that..." Lest groaned as he stood up as well,

"HYAH!" Frey delivered a crippling kick to the knight's groin.

"OOHHHHH!" Lest screamed and fell to his knees, "Ah..." he cried,

"That's what you get for messing with a lady..." Frey chuckled and dusted off her hands, "No kids for you."

"No!" Lest said, "No! Please! No! That can't be true!" he panicked and stood up, "I'm still fine!"

"Huh?" Frey spectated the odd behavior,

"Yes... I'm still fine." Lest patted his crotch, "Enough of this, we have to find the hero!"

"Alright..." Frey told him, "Where do we go?"

"This is the light realm..." Lest said, "I am the first one of my people to reach this place... It's all up to the gods now." he looked out to the vast expanse of the wheatfield.

"Why is the Light Realm a never ending sea of grain?" Frey asked as she caressed the wheat heads with her hand,

"I told you I don't know." Lest told her, "I guess we just." he looked at his compass, but it the pointer was spinning all over the place, "Well..."

"So you brought us here to die?" Frey growled,

"No!" Lest told her, "Look!" he pointed to the distance, "Is that a road?"

"It looks like it..." Frey muttered, "Are you sure that's the way?"

"It's the most we have..." Lest mumbled, "Let's go..."

000000000

"Hm..." Lest muttered when his boots hit the soft gravel of the road, the only distinguishable feature in the sea of wheat, "It looks safe..."

"Alright." Frey said as she cautiously appeared from the grain sea, then stepped on the road,

"Are you ready?" Lest told her, "This might take a while..."

"Yes." Frey responded, "I was awakened for a reason. If I have to find the Hero, I will."

"That's what I like to hear!" Lest laughed and the two sprinted down the road.
