Dark chase

chapter 20

the Chrokus revolt

 

     Chronkus (he believed he was Chronkus now) woke up and found himself tied on a stone chair. He struggled but nothing happened but only made a uncomfortable shrieking of the long ropes. He looked up and saw the dragon he has just rode on. It was tied also, but not in long ropes but two iron chains and a writing beside it said 'unbearable 1' .

 

    Then the dragon looked down and met his eyes ( as the dragon was too tall). They both gazed into both eyes for a while. The dragon's eyes always seemed cruel. But at this moment, it was full of concern and pity. Say something to me please, he mouthed. Then the dragon nodded which he thought this took most of its strength. Then it said something in his mind. You are like your mother, I haven't seen these caring eyes for a long time. He smiled and mouthed to ask, really! I get her eyes! What is she like? The dragon looked away dreamily and said again, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. This is what I can tell. His smile was even bigger now.

 

   Then they heard footsteps so they quickly looked down again. Dark came with his guards. One of his guards said gruffly. " Should we kill them both?" Dark looked at him and said." Only the dragon. I will talk with my little brother after he has woken." Another squat guard asked timidly." About the prophercy?"  Dark stared at him, his face turned to purple or you could say, crimson. He said softly." You dare say it again and you will be turned into some ash." Then he waved his hand and this guard became crazy, he scratched himself hardly and hit himself on the head. He cried." I am sorry. Please. Please! I am real sorry!" Dark waved his hand twice and this guard lied on the ground, still panting deeply. He then told one of his guard to pull the dragon to the an execution ground. Chronkus knew he would have no chance for saving it. He mouthed again, it was great to meet you. Although we only been together for a short time, but you will always be my good friend. Then he had his response, me too, lovely boy. It was bleak and despressed.

   Then he saw Dark came who got frizzy hair this time. He stared at him and Dark put one hand on his forehead. He believed Dark would not kill him at the moment, as he said so. But he might torture him, just like what he did to the guard. He waited for his torment but nothing happened. He flickered open one eye and saw a face that had crumpled because of hatred. Dark bellowed." Open your eyes, Chronkus." So he lifted up his eyelid. He continued." Do you know anything about the prophercy?" Jack shook his head. "Okay, I will tell some of it. Chronkus, the high born, will lead a revolt. He will sit on the Black Dragon's chair and wear Black Dragon's coat. You are going to beat me up. But are you, huh? You belong to the filthy human world. Human, who is stupid and foolish, should be kicked out of our way. I wonder how they can survive. That 'love' makes me have a headache."

   Then they heard a clark and Dark muttered." Oh, what so nice that they just chop off the head of the traitor. If you weren't here, I could watch the execution." Jack felt anger rose inside him and then he reprimanded Dark indignantly." He has served you, how can you do this to it?" Dark patted him on the head again and said. " Oh my brother, don't talk about that thing. It makes me a headache." Then he yelled." Jacus, bring my spear here." Someone responded, yes my majesty. Then he heard the clanging sound of the metal again. The spear was finally brought to Dark side. He picked up the spear and announced." I should always know that the prophercy is some kind of junk." He raised his spear high and ready to strike. Jack closed his eyes, waiting for his end of life. Something had distracted Dark. Then he heard something hit the chain around him and he was free. He sat up and saw SEF and the dragon that he had rode on standing not far away from him. " Nooooooo, the Chronkus revolt." Dark screamed in wrath.

   Jack immediately twitched the stake out of his belt and when he was going to kill the guards who stood around him, the dragon reminded him, don't kill them, they are on your side. So he skidded to a halt and turned. Then, he saw something is running towards him. The green eyes flickered. He remembered these eyes in a instant, the dog. He plucked the Holy-pistol out and shot one to it. The bullet just hit its fur but didn't penetrate its skin, it seemed to wearing a armour. He used the torch that he had brought from the human world and shone it. The glimmering green eyes sqinted and he aimed it on its nose and pulled the trigger. The bullet speeded up and hit the nose of the dog fair and square and black liquid poured out of its nose. It growled and moaned and then it lied down on the cold-piercing ground and became still and motionless.

   He heard Dark yelled." Soldiers, I comanded you to kill all of them, NOW!" But it seemed that the guards didn't move a bit. One of them, may be the leader walked out of the circle and said. " We believe the prophercy, my majesty, Chronkus the high born." He kneeled down then all the soldiers followed him. Jack was shocked and the dragon said again, show your mercy and love, Chronkus. So he walked close to the leader and helped him up. Others followed the leader, but with the same position, as if being held by an invisible hand. Then Jack heard something soared through the air, he looked at it and found a knife flying to him. And then he felt heat, the dragon blew a powerful fireball and melted the knife.

  The leader said." My majesty, you can command all of us now. Charis can't perform any magic to you now." Jack thought for a while and said. " Arrest him and put him in chains." So they did. He sat on the Black Dragon's chair and looked at the SEF. He announced." Let them go, the human." So they did.

   SEF members walked out of the entrance and found the light was too bright and they had to squinted their eyes again. So bright, so beautiful, they thought.

 
   Halloween.

   The sheriff was resting in the tent while his wife was helping their son's monstrous face. Someone then went in the tent. He plucked the pistol out of the belt and heard a familiar voice said." Put that down, I ain't going ot hurt you." Those green eyes, he was Jack. He walked to him and shook his hands. " How are you?" the sheriff asked. " I am fine." He answered. Then he heard something growling. He walked out of his tent and found a huge dragon stood in the centre of the plaza. Children were playing around it, touching it, as if it was a toy.  I am real dragon, hey, don't touch me. One of the children shouted. " Mum, it can talk! "  You finally know it, the dragon bellowed. But then," I will go inside to tickle the one pretending this dragon." Oh not this again. "I bring some buddies, real scary." Jack said." Oh yeah, my majesty." the sheriff said and smiled.

black or white

   Yashima stood beside a general who was wearing the same armour like his. You can say that the armour was not an armour. As the armour was made of some robes and a few taggers on the weaknesses of the body. It's not good at reducing the harm. But the general told them that this was a sign of the army. They wore robes and a few taggers as this represented they fought for the people and they weren't the nobles. It seemed that they had the same level as the commons in the society. This encouraged more commons to join them to fight their enemies, the brutal, coward government.
As far as we known, he was in a revolution with the others.

      But he hadn't been a vice-general in this revolutional army all the time. He was ever working inside the government, killing the revolutional soldiers. He were brainwashed before he went for their first battle. He had to be locked inside a dark room which darkness had engulfed him. And he had to read some books which were written by the government. The books said that what bad things did the revolutional soldiers do. After three days, a man would tell them to recite the content. If they could, they would go to watch a play which was about how the commons in the town hated the revolutional soldiers. He was a outstanding general in the army of the government so he always defeated the enemies. But until one day, the enemy captured him.

     After he was caught, he was moved to face the leader of the the enemies, Yasabi. He was anxious and angry when the leader appeared. And then the leader walked close to him and lifted his blade. He knew that he would be finished. But it didn't even touch him. Instead, he felt free again. The rope around him loosen. He looked at the man's face, astonished. He wondered why he won't be killed. Then the man helped him up and let Yashima sit beside him. Then he took a parchment out of his pocket and he said." You are Amegasi and Yokonis' son, aren't you?" Yashima nodded. Then he continued." I know your mum and I am sorry that they died in the war. This is what they wanted you to do after they died. Read it aloud."

    He read it aloud." To our lovely and brave son. If the ones from government forced you to go into their army, you will have to escape. They are really brutal.They did all the bad things. They robbed people and killed the revolutional army's family members. Do your best to keep away from them. We would want you to go to the revolutional army's camp. He will help you. You aren't going to worry about us. Best regards, Amegasi and Yokonis." Then he felt something was put inside his hands. The rock which his mum had etched the words " together forever". "This is for you." the leader whispered. Now his face was full of tears and he held the two hands of the leader. He cried." I would kill these bastards!" The leader tapped on his shoulder and said." Good that you know what is white or black." Then he gave him a broad smile.

   Then, he heard someone was blowing the horn. He was back from memory. The signal was given. He had to attack his or their enmies. He was the first to go in the fighting crowd and the first one being embroiled by the battle. He wasn't scared when the enemies rushed to them. He would always remembered what his parents had said. They are really brutal. He wanted to kill all these brutal men and cowards. He slashed his blade and one of the enemy soldier's head was chopped off, flew across the sky and spinned. Then he chopped off more enemies' head. He was excited when he killed one enemy. He was a really really bloodthirsty man.

    Every enemy was frightened when they saw this 'brave' man rush into their crowd. They were soon clattered as their leader was shot dead by a arrow. They took off their armour and tried to run back to their camp, but soon they were surrounded by his soldiers. " Surrender or die!" the general nest to him yelled to the dismal enemies. The enemies grovelled to the ground. The hatred suddenly rose inside him and he told the general." Kill them all." the general looked at him and said." I know you hate these soldiers, but it is not the time to kill them."

    They went into the town safely and the general led them to the centre of the town, a palace. The general sat on a beautiful chair which was etched with gold." Oh my soldiers, you have the permission to do anything you like." he announced and the crowd cheered. They ran out of the palace and went nowhere. He walked close to the general and asked." What do you mean by to do anything you like , Sir?" The general blinked to him and said nothing. Then he heard a scream of a waman. The general pointed his finger to t he source and said." Like this." Then he gazed at the general and said tentatively." I thought that we are not allowed to do such things and only the enemies would do these things." The general chuckled." No one had said that before. You shouold know that the happiness of all is to take other's wives and their properties." He went back to his camp and looked at the rock bitterly.

    He finally understood that horrible truth in the world. Human was oringinally greedy and cruel. He took his blade out and held it beside his neck. He wanted to leave this world now, and never come back to it.
