Sorry it's been a while folks but I happily present to you: The newest chapter!

Chapter 31: What happens next.

Rene yawned as the sun began to set over the horizon. The vast ocean that spread itself before him glistened in the light making Rene feel both happy and sad. Zeria had woken up in delight only a short while after collapsing and almost strangled Rene in a hugging chokehold. Filden was playing with Kara and Lily in the courtyard and Rene had no idea where Faith had disappeared to. After his revival a lot of questions were asked. How did Kara bring him back? Why are the mercs working for Vrael? And just what the hell were they gonna do next?

“Guess who.” A young female voice said as her hands covered his eyes. Rene knew who it was but smiled and didn’t give it away.

“Hmm… Lemme think… Are you the seriously sexy girl I met in town earlier with the big bre-” Rene giggled as Faith tapped him lightly on the side of the head. She sat down next to him on the grass and curled up in his arms.

“What cha thinkin about?” Faith asked as Rene looked out to sea.

“Just thinkin about how much of this war is my fault…” Rene told her, he did believe that, if he just gave in he would most likely have been able to stop the war before something as serious as this happened.

“Don’t you dare think it’s your fault!” Faith told Rene angrily “It’s not your fault that Vrael and his evil Father want to “rule the world” and if you ever say that again I swear I will throw you into that goddamned ocean, got it?” By this point she was shouting and Rene was cowering on the ground. She smiled at him which instantly made him happy and she gently kissed him on the forehead. She sat back down and were both silent for about 10 minutes just looking out to the ocean

“Thank you.” Rene told her.

“Hm? For what?” Faith asked him softly.

“For being here. I dunno what I’d do without you.” Rene told her, a tear fell from his left eye.

“Hey. Don’t cry.” Faith said hugging him closely “If you start crying then I will as well, and you know what I’m like when I cry.” She giggled softly and Rene smiled at her.

“Thank you. I love you.” Rene told her.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Kara, may we speak with you perhaps?” Abigail asked Kara as she threw the football back to Filden, Lily had gone to bed leaving Fil and Kara out here alone. Kamui was stood behind Abilgail with his arms crossed and his eyes half closed but concentrated on Kara.

“Yeah sure.” Kara told them. “I’ll be right back Filly!” Filden looked confused, and utterly annoyed at Kara’s pet nickname for him but nodded his head and sat down on the ground. “What’s up?”

“It’s about your abilities, I can tell that your powers have been dormant but now they have awakened and they hold magnificent amounts of potential. I am offering you the chance to learn to control your abilities by studying white magic under me.”

“Really!?” Kara shouted excitedly. Abby nodded and smiled at her “Wow! Yeah! I’ll learn from you!”

“I also wish to teach you dark magic.” Kamui stated bluntly.

“Dark magic?” Kara asked.

“The study of the elemental arts: Fire, earth, wind and water and so on and so forth.”

“Sure I guess, when do I start learning?”

“Your potential for white magic is greater than your potential for dark so therefore you shall start by utilizing your abilities with Abigail.” Kamui told her. “You shall begin tomorrow. I leave the rest to you Abigail.” Kamui then turned and walked away into the darkness.

“He creeps me out…” Kara said, making Abby laugh loudly.

“I think he’s like that to everyone.” Abby pondered “So we’ll start tomorrow ‘kay?” Kara nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~

“They failed this time, but what do you believe they will attempt next?” Julius asked Riku in his office. Riku had discarded his black robe and was wearing a white sleeveless jacket over a white vest and was wearing baggy blue trousers.

“I think this was a desperation attempt to get Rene, that Minerva guy said so himself that he was to be taken alive.” Riku said as he drank the wine from the cup he had been provided.

“Minerva… I swear I’ve heard that name before.” Julius said leaning forward and interlocking his fingers on the desk.

“I’d be surprised if you hadn’t! Minerva the 3rd strongest officer of the Shadow Mercs. He’s got one hell of a reputation for being a jerk off.” Riku told Julius.

“No, that’s not where I’ve heard about him…” Julius pondered for a few moments. “I’ll have my librarians search for his name but I’m sure I’ve heard of him elsewhere…”

“Either way, he managed to kill Rene, even if it was a cheap shot.” Riku finished his drink and stood up. “If you want my opinion, the next time they try to get Rene will be a covert operation. Afterall, all they actually need is his blood to get the key.” He grabbed his robe which was hanging beside the door and turned back to Julius.

“I’ll have security tightened around the castle. What are you going to do now Riku?”

“I’m heading back to the other world, see if I can find anymore info on what’s goin’ on.” He threw his robe back on and lowered the hood.

“When will you be back?” Julius stood and walked towards Riku

“Probably soon. They’ll be looking for me now that I’ve shown my head on the battlefield here.” Riku waved his hand and a portal of darkness appeared behind him

“Be careful my friend.” Julius said as Riku saluted with two fingers and disappeared into the portal.

“So that’s what they’ve been teachin’ her huh? Why am I only being told this now?” Rene shouted as he deflected the kunais and rushed towards Filden.

“Yeah, white magic. Really if she was that powerful to use a spell that strong and we couldn’t even sense her energy it musta been buried down deep! It was menna be a secret but y‘know what I‘m like with secrets.” Filden shouted as he pulled out a dagger and clashed it against Rene’s blade.

“When’d you get a dagger?” Rene asked as he pushed himself away from Filden.

“Like it?” Filden smirked as he spun the blade and put it back into it’s sheathe on the back of his waist.

“I guess it’s useful in a close-combat battle, but I can tell its gonna take a while before you can use it masterfully, it took you a while to unsheathe it, it’s lucky I wasn’t going all out.” Rene said big-headedly.

“Yeah, yeah. Shut yer mouth.” Filden smirked as he back flipped onto the wooden banister and threw his shuriken at Rene. Rene wasn’t expecting this but threw out his hand and sent a fireball towards it, deflecting the shuriken. Rene ran forward as the shuriken landed in the ground, spun, grabbed it in one hand and then used the momentum to throw it back at Filden. As the shuriken buried itself into the wall, Rene noticed that Filden had disappeared from the spot where he was merely a second ago.

“What the-?” Rene said, he felt something move behind him and instinctively blocked his back with his blade. Filden laughed as he stood back.

“Damn! You actually blocked it!” Filden shouted.

“Pfft! You’re getting too damned good at flash-stepping I swear!” Rene shouted happily. Filden’s entire body disappeared but Rene only just managed to follow his movements. He turned around and spotted Filden standing on the upper-most point of his shuriken.

“That enough for today?” Filden asked.

“Yeah! Wanna go grab something to drink?” Rene shouted as he grabbed his towel and mopped the sweat off his body.

“Sure, it’s cool that Julius is making us spar together now ain’t it.” Filden shouted as he pulled his shuriken out of the wall and put it back on his back.

“Yeah, he told me that he’s taught me all he knows so I’d be better off just sparring with someone.” Rene said as he put his blade back into it’s sheathe. He grabbed his gun which Filden had managed to disarm and put that back in it’s holster as well.

“Uhh do me a favour?” Filden asked.

“Sure bro’ what’s up?”

“Don’t tell Abby I told you about the magic thing.” Filden chuckled, Rene thought for a moment, making Filden nervous.

“Sure no problem!” Rene chuckled.

“Don’t do that! It’s well annoying!”

“Aww, is shaggy upset?” Rene said babyishly taunting Filden’s new hairstyle.

“Shut it, it’s not that long, your’s is still longer than mine. Mines like an inch long whereas your’s is well long.”

“Y’know, if someone overheard this conversation I have the horrible feeling they’d get the wrong idea… Besides that, I’m just used to you with a buzz cut!”

“Maybe I should shave it again…”

“Nah, your new girlfriend Abby likes it don’t she?” Rene said winking.

“Heh heh, we havent even made it official yet.”

“Come on, I’m your best mate, I can tell when you’ve got a girl and when you ain’t. But don’t worry, I’ll let you and Abby make the “big announcement” heh heh” Rene said opening the dojo’s door and looking out over the city. Filden walked up besides him and looked out also.

“Hard to think that’s its been almost a month since the attack huh?”

“I know, everything’s been quiet since then… We’ve not heard a single thing from Vrael either…”

“And Riku’s not back from the other world yet either. Julius has been majorly worried.”

“Hey guys!” A woman shouted out from the distance. She had short spiky black hair and was wearing a white karate uniform along with red shoes and punching gloves were around her neck.

“Hey Lily!” Rene shouted out.

“Aw shit.” Filden swore as he hid behind Rene.

“What’s up?” Rene whispered as Lily closed in.

“She’s been wanting to kill me since I threw peas at her head last night at dinner.”

“Heh heh… Hey Lily! Fil’s right here if ya want him!”

“Heh heh thanks bro’” Lily smirked as she cracked her knuckles and advanced on the whimpering Filden. She pulled her fist back and slammed it into Filden’s shoulder painfully. “Anyway, I’m off to go practice. I’ll see you later at dinner ‘kay?”

“Aye aye sis, see ya later.” Rene said as his sister went into the dojo

“You bastard!” Filden whimpered as Rene supported him back to the castle.

“You reap what ya sow Fil.” Rene said trying desperately hard not to burst out laughing

August 23, 2008, 3:09 PM

You should keep all this on copies and put it together into a book to be published once your done with it. greatest book ever i tell ya.
