Chapter 6: Red Suns
His head was pounding. All he could hear was explosions, the clashing of swords, men and women screaming and the wind blow by. He felt as if he was supposed to get up and fight. He felt grass tickle his head as if he was laying on the ground. He felt a sharp pain in his knee but his thoughts pulled him in from noticing.
"Where am i" He thought
He soon heard a name, it grew louder and louder. As if it was calling him, opening up his eyes he saw an orange sky filled with smoke and the smell of dead bodies. He looked around to see fighting. Blood was everywhere and on all the soldiers who were dead or still fighting. Looking down he saw a Red Sun on his chest plate.
"A Red Sun?" He asked as if he never saw it before. But at that moment he remembered who he was, why was he here, and who they...he was fighting
"I'm fighting the Nexus Regime, we...we are protecting our home from their invasion and me...I'm...im a Red Sun, a Knight of this land..Kalex, my name is Kalex Sol" Kalex said as he felt someone grab his arm pulling him up
"Good, you know who you are now get up before you become history" A voice said pulling him up. Kalex got up and winced from the pain in his right knee. Looking down he saw two arrows in his knee
"Shit" Kalex said to himself. The solider turned around revealing it was a girl who helped him up.
"Well that happens when you try to go solo Kal, come on ill get you to a sorcerer they'll patch you up" The girl put arm around her shoulder and smiled at him
"Be careful Kal next time i might not be there to save you" She frowned at him as she walk him to the sorcerer.
Kalex smirked "No promises Lesa" she turned her head forming a small smile knowing her childhood friend will be fine
She helped him to a metal tent where he saw other injured soldiers lay outside of it either recovering or dead from their injuries
"Another one?" The sorcerer asked Lesa
Lesa sat Kalex down on a bed and gave him a towel
"Yep, take extra care of him" She sarcastically said while looking at Kalex
"I since a little bit of sarcasm in that comment" Kalex replied smirking
"Well at least you didn't lose your Smartass persona" Lesa chuckling said as she walked out
"Get well Kalex" Lesa said leaving the tent
Kalex noticed he didn't hear no more screaming or swords clashing only the occasional wind and groaning from the injured soldiers.
"Its quiet isn't it?" the sorcerer asked. Kalex looked at him still wondering how the fighting stopped so quickly
"Yeah...to quiet" Kalex said still suspicious. The sorcerer walked up to him healing his knee as the arrows faded out of existence. Kalex felt a thousand times better.
"At least no ones dying anymore, the knights of the Red Suns showed to get you after that the battle ended quickly". Kalex remembered he was sprinting towards a mother and two kids, trying to save them he ran as fast as possible. Then he remembered how they died, their faces. Kalex felt in regret knowing that he was fully capable of saving them...but failed in doing so. He stood there watching them get struck down by The Nexus Regime both mother and sons. After that his memory is vivid all he remembered is that he was shot in the knee twice by arrows and knocked out by near by catapult explosion that caused rocks to hit his head.
Kalex starred at the floor wandering in his thoughts. The sorcerer saw this
"Look you cant save everyone Kal sometimes its just out of our hand" Kalex looked up confused
"How did you-"
"I can read minds its a gift and a curse" The sorcerer smiled patting his back and walked to his desk. Kalex pulled out a piece of his father's sword he always kept for good luck. He reminisced times as a child training with his dad, he was the sole reason Kalex joined the Red Suns. He was 1 out of 5 Red Suns knights, they were called the true children of Senaz the land they fought to protect for generations. When he told his Dad he got accepted to the Red Suns, Kalex couldn't even describe how excited he was that his son got accepted to Red Suns the children of his home. Kalex knew how proud his father would be if he saw him now. With that thought a tear escaped his eye.
The sorcerer knew what was happening and quickly attempted to get Kalex's mind of it.
"The Red Suns summon you at Fort Deck" Kalex hearing this wiped his tear and started walking out of the tent
"Your father was a good man Kalex, honor him by ending this war" the sorcerer said with a somber smile. Kalex turned and looked down at the bloody floor
"I promise" and with that he walked out headed for Fort Deck
Fort Deck
Kal entered a tall building filled with Red Sun soldiers who all greeted him. His eyes wandered the building as he walked down a long hall filled with banners of previous Red Sun knights. One caught his eye, the one next to his, it was a familiar face he's seen before, the man had wavy long blonde hair with the brightest purple eyes Kal had ever seen and Carmel skin. Kalex read the name of the man on the wall. It read "Alex Frosh".
"Hey you coming in or what?" Kalex turned to see the same man "Alex" approaching him
"Yeah I'm just looking at our pictures" Kal nervously said
"The sorcerer did say you had slight amnesia so try not to stress yourself to much" Alex said in a reassuring tone . Kalex walked with him to the meeting room. It had a huge circle table in the middle and it was surrounded by knights, being able to only recognize Lesa. She saw him walk in and approached him
"You feeling better Kal?" She asked in a somber voice. As Kal was about to answer he was cut off
"Slight amnesia nothing a few drinks cant fix" Alex said teasingly
"Now isn't the time for jokes Alex" Lesa responded harshly concerned for her friend
"I'm fine Lesa" Kalex said while forming a little smile.
"Better not be lying" She said as she walked to the table with the other knights
"Now that were all here we need to discuss something, this stays between us only if word gets out-" the knight was cut off
"We understand O'Ryan now tell us" Lesa was impatient
"We have come in contact with another faction who wishes to aid us in the fight, we don't know their names but we've been in touch for a week now" O'Ryan said looking around the table curious to see the responses. The room was silent as there was nothing to say only a few looks were exchanged until a voice spoke out
"Where are they now" Kalex asked. Everyone looked at him as if he was going mad
"I don't know right now but were having a meeting tomorrow you can join me" O'Bryan said
"We should all go" Kalex said as looked at Lesa
"I actually agree with that" Lesa responded to Kalex's look
"Meet here at dawn tomorrow, we'll head out then" O'Bryan said as everyone agreed as everyone lifted their swords saying at the same time
"May the Red Sun be our guide" and with that everyone left the room.
But something bugged as he walked home with Alex and Lesa. Why would this mysterious faction help THEM in war they had nothing to do in but more importantly who are they?
From afar The sorcerer who healed Kalex was watching and heard his thoughts. The sorcerer responded to his question as if Kalex would ever hear it.
