Chapter 2
The raven haired boy released his grasp from the strangers hold, looking down momentarily to his hand before turning his attention to his surroundings. Green hills and tall grass surrounded the whole area, birds chirped and danced around the nearby trees, a quite stream flowing a few feet away; it was so serene
"Are you alright?" questioned the blonde stranger
The mystery boy quickly turned his attention to the source of the question,"...Yes thanks for asking" he responded with a small smile
"What were you doing sleeping on the floor ?What's your name? How old are you?" chirped the petite girl
"Eureka! Don't simply bombard him with questions"
"...mmmm I don't know?
"Huh?" the pair of blondes said in unison
" I don't remember how I got here...or where I am...or my name..." the raven haired boy exclaimed putting a hand to his head trying to collect his thoughts
(How odd? He doesn't know were he is?Or who he is...hmmmm) the blonde boy pondered as he stared intently at the boy with the frustrated expression on his face
"Big brother!" chimed the small girl breaking her brother's focus
"Huh...What's wrong Eureka?"
"I've heard of this!"
"Heard of what?"
"This! This! When someone can't remember stuff!" the small girl frantically announced with her arms in the air, "Isn't it called amnesia!"
"Hmmm...now that you mention it you could be right...
"My Lord! My Lady!"
Both siblings turned in unison at the direction of the loud gruff voice which broke up there conversation. The both of them flinched as an older man dressed in what seemed to be quite important attire approached them. He was adorned in a exquisite full body armor from head to toe with unique designs engraved around the edges, on the left arm plate there seemed to be a complex insignia branded on it. On the right side of his waist rested a sword in its sheath with the same insignia branded on it as his armor. One word could only come to mind being in the presence of this man and that was elite
The raven haired boy continued to examine the armored knight from head to toe in awe, before cringing in surprise in closer inspection of his face. Two huge eyebrows framed the mans face in a ridiculous manner.
"pffft..." The poor boy couldn't help but let out a puff of laughter from the new found revelation
Whatever air of elite and nobility this man once emitted was now gone
"My lord! My lady! It's not wise for you to be going on on your own!"
"Hehe...sorry about that that Concombre..." the blonde boy with glasses sheepishly scratched his head
"Yeah sorry Concombre we were just trying to have fun! But you were walking to slow!"
The older knight sternly eyed the two siblings in disapproval before quickly turning his attention to the mystery boy
"And who might you be?"
"Emmmm...My names Satoshi" replied sheepishly the raven haired boy
"Whaaat? You remember your name!" the young girl cheered while clasping her hands
"That's great!" the blonde boy joined in
"What do you mean remembered his name?" asked Concombre with a quizzical expression
"When we met Satoshi he couldn't remember his name"
"Hmmm that sounds a little too convenient.." Concombre proclaimed with a harsh tone "We're to believe that you had amnesia over a minute ago and you've suddenly regained your memory?"
"Concombre!" both siblings snapped
"No...I can't remember anything else, only my name...i wish I could remember what I'm doing here or how I got here...sorry I can't give you any more details"
"My lord this could all be a ruse from a neighboring countries enemy to take your life!"
"Im telling you its the truth!" proclaimed Satoshi
"That's enough Concombre I don't see any reason to distrust Satoshi, if he were an enemy than I believe he would have showed intentions in doing so from the moment we found him"
"As you say my lord, but my duty is still to protect you and the young mistress! so I will be keeping a watchful eye on our enigma of a child here"
"Thank you Concombre as serious as ever hehe... by the way sorry for being late in our introductions but I am Citron and this to my left is my little sister Eureka"
"Hello!" waved back the petite girl with a brimming smile "And to my right is Concombre"
Satoshi stared at the pair; the both seemed to give off a presence unlike that of Concombre. There attire seemed more expensive than that of a common man or in this instance him. Eureka's hair seemed to be combed into a unique design at her bangs with a small pony tail being held by a hair clip. She wore a beautiful yellow corset dress which matched her sunny colored hair, and she seemed to be caring a specially crafted wand that worked well with her stature. Citron wore a short sleeve blue tunic with the same insignia that decorated Concombre's armor on the only piece of armor that adorned his upper body; on his left shoulder. He wore simple black pants and brown boots which reached his knees, on the side of his hip was a sword hoisted by his belt. His appearance almost seemed like that of royalty to Satoshi but the idea was just dismissed by the rather normal looking facial features he had. Messy blonde hair and a lightning shaped cow lick combed his hair, with round glasses framing his face.
"Nice to meet you too" smiled back the auburn eyed boy
"Right! Now that we've gotten introductions out of the way we would like it if you came back with us boy" exclaimed Concombre
"Huh? What for?"
"Until we discover your true intentions it would be best to keep you nearby"
"So I am to be your prisoner?" glared back Satoshi
"Haha" chuckled Citron "Do not worry you'll be free to go once we establish that your no enemy, so please bear with us for a while longer"
The young raven haired boy felt reluctant at first but felt no ulterior motive from them, so he decided to go along with there wishes "haaaaa...fine I'll come along beats being alone in this field"
"Yay!" cheered the petite blonde
"Well its settled then! Now that were all friends let us continue our destination to Vaniville Town!" Satoshi couldn't help but smile at the sudden outburst of the blonde boy
"As you wish my lord"
As the party commenced there path threw the grassy fields the raven haired boy began to follow suit. The walk was peaceful and tranquil, and the others seemed to keep to themselves enjoying the scenery they passed by
(I wonder where we could be going? And where we are? And who exactly are these people? And are they really gonna let me go?) Millions of questions raced through Satoshi's mind but the two questions that seemed to keep popping up in his mind were (How did I get here?...and who am I?)
"Hey Satoshi!" the sound of a young voice broke his thoughts making him look down to his right "Yes? Eureka what is it?"
"I've been meaning to ask but whats that mark on the back of your right hand?"
"What mark?" questioned Satoshi raising his hand to his face
The raven haired boy stared intently at his right hand with confusion in his head; there clear as day was a mark but with a symbol too weird to be a scar or birth mark. It seemed to be a large circle with a smaller one in the middle with four lines connecting the both of them.
"Hmmmm I don't know?" responded back the confused boy " It could be a birth mark? Maybe?"
"A birth mark? That's so cool! I wish I had one!" chimed the small girl with stars in her eyes
"Hey big brother don't you wish you had a birth mark like Satoshi too!"
"Heheh sure Eureka" sweat dropped Citron towards the ongoing conversation
"By the way Citron why are we heading towards Vaniville Town? Is that where you guys live?"
"Oh no! We actually live nearby in a place called Lumiose city, we are just attending a small errand for our sister there."
"You have another sister?" questioned Satoshi
"Well you could call her that she's actually-
"MY LORD!"
Both Satoshi and Citron quickly turned there attention to the older man
"My lord look! The town!"
Out in the distance the scene of a beautiful town was completely engulfed by fierce flames and dark smoke, the cries of several people could be heard threw out the town
"Damn! could this be what Aria was talking about? " Citron asked himself
"Big brother! What are we going to do?" asked the small blonde with pleading eyes
"Concombre, Eureka! Quickly!"
"My lord what about this boy?"
Before Citron had a chance to answer a running Satoshi bolted towards the blazing town
"Guys I'm going on ahead!" shouted Satoshi back at them
"Wait for me I'm going too!" shouted back the small energetic blonde
"I guess that answers your question Concombre, now let's go!"
"Right My lord!" the remaining three raced to catch up to the raven haired boy
Satoshi ran through the main streets of the town as flames engulfed most of his surroundings; maneuvering around began to become quite a challenge as many people rushed to escape the inferno
("What could be causing this?") Satoshi asked himself
"HELP! Sombebody please help me!"
Satoshi picked up his pace as he began searching for the source of the screaming. He turned a right on the corner of a street to come in contact with the origin of the cries. A weird man completely shrouded in what seemed to be a black aura approached a crying girl. She had long honey colored hair and wore a straw hat, but her most noticeable feature were her bright blue eyes. She seemed to be clutching her ankle in pain as her assailant approached her with a broadsword in hand
"...somebody..help me...please!" cried out the poor girl
"Aaaahhhhhh" yelled the shrouded man as he lifted his blade to deliver the finishing blow
"Get away from her!"
"Gahhhh" grunted the strange being as he was tackled to the ground by the raven haired boy
"Are you ok?"
"Thank you, but my ankle it hurts a lot" winced the girl as tears started to form on the corners of her eyes
"It's doesn't seem to be broken, I think its just a bruised" Satoshi said with closer inspection
"Arghhhhh" roared the shrouded being as he began lifting himself with murderous red eyes
"We have to find a safe place to hide!" shouted the raven haired boy as he quickly picked up the injured girl into his arms and began to run the direction he came from, making her straw hat fly in the wind. A bright blush covered the girls cheeks as the proximity of there bodies was new to her
Satoshi continued running down the streets as more dark beings continued to appear "Damn there everywhere...I hope Citron and the others are doing fine"
At that moment on the far side of town two knights were making quick work of there slow adversaries
"Eureka stay behind me" said Citron putting up a defensive stance in front of the petite girl
"Citron! I can fight too!"
"Eureka please stay back this is too dangerous, you could get hurt"
"My lord!" shouted Concombre as he downward slashed an approaching enemy from the rear
"You must always keep your concentration in the heat of a battle"
"Hehehe...right, sorry about that" the blonde boy sheepishly scratched his head
"Hmph...you should speak for yourself big brother" pouted the petite girl
"Now let us put an end to these foes"
"I hope Satoshi is doing okay, he didn't have any weapons or amor" Eureka whispered clasping her hands together with worry in her eyes
"Don't worry Eureka I'm sure he's fine, we'll go find him as soon as we finish off these trouble makers" smiled back her big brother
"Right!" chimed Eureka
(Satoshi please be ok...)
Satoshi held the injured girl close to his chest as dozens of the shrouded beings surrounded them. The raven haired boy looked down as he saw the blue eyed girl with her eyes shut clinging on to his shirt tightly. Satoshi gritted his teeth as he could see no escape from this predicament
"Tsk...Damn it"
"Mom please help me" sobbed the scared girl
"Don't give up!" the honey haired girl opened her eyes looking up at the boy
"Never give up till the end!"
Tearful blue eyes met passionate auburn ones, a small blush crept on her cheeks as her heart started beating faster. His piercing gaze broke all fears in her heart, as she wiped her tears away and returned a gaze of determination back to Satoshi
Satoshi smiled back at the strong look in her eyes before turning his attention back to the approaching enemies
"If I only had a weapon dammit-
"Satoshi!"
"Huh" Satoshi looked back as the crowd of shadow beings was blown away in an instant by the two knights
"Citron! Concombre! Eureka!"
"Are you hurt?" asked the petite girl as the three of them made there way to the crouching pair
"I'm okay but she seems to have bruised her ankle"
"It's okay now, we'll deal with the rest of these fiends! You stay back and guard the girl" announced Concombre
"Thank you guys"
While Citron, Eureka and Concombre rushed forward to deal with the remainder of the foes, Satoshi tore off a piece his shirts sleeve and tied it around the long haired girls ankle
"Here this should help you until you can get it checked by a doctor" the injured girl couldn't help but smile at the extra attention being given to her
"Thank..you, by the way could I know your name?" smiled the blue eyed girl
"Sure! My name is Satoshi" he smiled back with a goofy grin "And what's your name?"
"Hehe" she couldn't help but put a hand to her lips and chuckle at his expression "My name is Serena-Satoshi behind you!"
A sharp searing pain shot threw the raven haired boy's back as he fell forward on top of the terrified girl, as she looked in horror at the murderous fiend in front of them
"Satoshi! Satoshi!" Serena cried out placing a hand over the injured boys wound. Satoshi's breathing sounded sticky as he coughed out blood, he could feel his consciousness fading in and out as he struggled to get up
"Satoshi your going to be-" Serena's words were cut short as the menacing form raised his sword once more to deliver the finishing blow
"Aaaaaahhh" screamed the blue eyed girl shutting her eyes
"Guh...agggggg..."
Serena kept her eyes shut waiting for the inevitable attack, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes slowly and was shocked at the scene before her, the dark fiend was stopped in his tracks by non other than Satoshi! The raven haired boys arm pierced the dark enemy's chest killing him instantly. Serena sat on the floor staring in horror as blood from his body flowed down the boys finger tips onto the floor. The scared girls eyes widened as the wound on the boys back seemed to heal itself instantly
"Satoshi?" whimpered the frightened girl with her hand outstretched towards him
The boy remained silent as he removed his arm from the now dead enemies chest
"Serena..." Satoshi whispered looking back at the frightened girl before collapsing on the floor
"Sa-Satoshi!" Serena cried out rushing to the fallen boy. The last thing the raven haired boy remembered was the sight of Serena calling out his name before darkness engulfed his vision
"Mmmm...Serena!" Satoshi shouted as he woke up
"Calm down boy or else you'll fall" answered back Concombre with a stern voice
Satoshi calmed down as he looked at the surroundings around him. He was being carried on Concombres back and they were no longer surrounded by the towns flames, but instead back in the grassy fields. Satoshi pushed his arms up against the older mans back in a demand to let him down. Concombre complied releasing him allowing him to fall on the ground
"Satoshi are you okay?" Eureka asked worriedly
"You should take it easy you still haven't regained your strength yet" Citron said helping the confused boy up
"What happened? Where are we?" What happened to Serena?"
"Calm down Satoshi everything's okay where almost to Lumiose city"
"What happened to Serena? And Vaniville town?"
"Don't worry Satoshi I'll explain everything" said the blonde haired boy adjusting his glasses
Flashback:
"Grawwwwr" the final enemy groaned as the area was secured by the three warriors
"There that should be the end of them, we just have to do something about these flames"
"I'll handle this my lord, RAIN DANCE!" shouted the knight pointing his sword towards the sky
Dark clouds immediately gathered above them, and a down pour of rain began extinguishing the flames that plagued the town
"Great job Concombre!"
"Satoshi!" cried out Eureka as she ran towards Serena and the fallen boy
"Is he ok?" asked the small blonde with worry in her tone
"Yes he's just sleeping" said the blue eyed girl who currently had the raven haired boys head resting on her lap
"Whew! That's a relief" exhaled Citron while wiping rain off his glasses "It seems Satoshi was able to handle this Risen all by himself"
"Risen?" exclaimed Serena
"Yes, we came here from Lumiose city on an errand to investigate any abnormal appearances of these fiends"
"What are they anyways...they look human but seem almost like monsters" Serena asked frightened
"Hmm were not entirely sure ourselves this is the first of them we come in contact with, we'll have to report our findings back to Aria"
"My lord the area is secured no risen appear to remain and the casualties seem to have been kept to a minimum!"
"Excellent work Concombre, we should report our findings as soon as possible to Aria"
"Yes my lord" saluted the knight
"Great warriors we thank you with our deepest thanks for what you have done for us today, please stay the night and rest your wounds!" proclaimed a random villager
"A most generous offer sir, but I am afraid we must hurry back to Lumiose and recount the story of what has transpired here"
"Waaaa were not staying Concombre? But I'm so tired!" pouted the small blonde
"I am sorry my lady but our mission takes top priority"
"He's right Eureka you can rest as soon as we get back home"
"Hmmph"
"Concombre can you carry Satoshi back to the city he seems to have passed out from exhaustion?"
"As you wish my lord"
Serena had no say in the matter as the knight moved his way to the fallen boy and swung him on his back on one fell swoop
"Are you going to be ok?" Eureka questioned Serena as she stood up
"Ye-Yes, just like Satoshi said my ankle is just bruised but I'll be fine!" smiled back the blue eyed girl "More importantly please watch over Satoshi"
"Hehe no need to worry! He's our friend he'll be okay once we bring him home" chimmed back the cute blonde
"Hehe okay"
"Well Lumiose Knights let us return post haste!" Citron announced as they made their way down the street
"Satoshi...please be okay" those words left Serena's lips as she saw the four body shapes walk away into the rainy streets
"So Serena's safe...that's good" Satoshi whispered to himself with a smile "So how far away are we from Lumiose city?"
"Actually were already here" pointed Citron forward
Out in the distance an enormous beautiful city poked through the grassy hills almost seeming endless in size and stature.
As the party walked through the city Satoshi couldn't help but marvel at the nearby shops and cafes. It was a bustling city with many adults and children crowding the stores and streets
"So were are heading to" asked the curious raven haired boy
"We're headed to the castle to speak with the queen" answered back the calm knight
"Oh okay...wait the queen?!" Satoshi asked dumbfounded
"Well of course she is our sister" chimed the small girl
"YOUR SISTER! Then that means your..." Satoshi stuttered pointing at the pair of sibling
"Yeah sorry for not telling you before, but I'm the prince and Eureka is the princess of the kingdom of Kalos" Citron stated while scratching his cheek
"Your the prince and princess?"
"Yes and Concombre is the commander of the Lumiose Knights"
"A title that I will hold with up most prestige my lord!" answered back the older knight with his head held high
"That's amazing! But are you fine with me meeting the queen?"
"Hehe you protected Kalos lives back in Vaniville town, I 'm sure that qualifies you more than enough to meet her majesty" smiled back Citron "Plus we can't let you walk around with those tattered clothes"
Satoshi looked down at his attire and Citron was right! They were a mess!, his shirt was missing a sleeve and had a huge whole in the back; the only thing that seemed to be holding up was the roped necklace with a small yellow stone that hung in his neck
"Hehehe I guess your right" Satoshi chuckled scratching the back of his head
"Well then lets go see her Majesty!" shouted the small blonde with a fist in the air
