Revolution

Chapter 9

"Wait, so your telling me that your planning to go on this crazy journey to kill some evil king with a prince you just me?!" Carrot asked, trying to understand what was going on, Blue nodded. "And you want me to get you guys to Ghasdai and find the skeleton I met there once?" Carrot asked again, and Blue nodded again.

"Yes! And what was the skeleton's name again? I forgot it." Blue asked, wanting to make sure he could at least tell his friends the monsters name.

"Killer,  his name was Killer." Blue snapped his fingers.

"Oh yeah! Why couldn't I remember that?" Carrot sighed and stared down at his brother.

"Blue, I don't think I want you going." Carrot admitted, he hated blowing out the spark of joy that had just been lighted, but it was his job to keep his brother safe.

"What?! Why?!" Blue asked, the sadness and shock laced in his voice.

"God Blue, you could die!" Carrot replied, starting to get a little frustrated. He just wanted to protect Blue, how is that so hard to see?

"You think I don't know that?!" Blue yelled back, Carrot stopped, frozen, just staring. For a moment the only noise that could be heard was the fire place crackling. "I've always dreamed of going on an adventure, but I've never been able to! This is my first and most likely last chance!" Blue continued to yell at his brother.

"Blue, going to war and going on an adventure are two completely different things, why can't you see that?!" Carrot asked, wanting his brother to calm down and actually think about what he was agreeing to.

"This isn't a war, why can't you understand that?! And if it is, fine! I don't care!" Blue argued before running out of the house.

"Blue!" His brother called out for him, but he was already gone and had been swallowed by the crowd of people. 

"Blue?! What happened?!" Serena asked, concerned for her friend.

"Carrot's not gonna help." Blue just admitted, now didn't feel like the perfect time to explain the argument the two just had. Blue knew his brother just wanted him to be safe, but he would rather die happy then live a long time, never enjoying or being pleased with his life.

"Yeah, but what happened, why are you crying?" Dream piped in, his book flat on the table, he was also concerned for the skeleton with blue eyes that reminded him of the sea.

"He didn't want me to go, so I argued with him until I ran here. So, can a maybe stay here with you guys until we leave on our journey?" Blue asked, determined to go with Dream.

"Of course you can." Serena said, looking at the small skeleton with sympathy. 

"So, what are we gonna do now? How can we find this skeleton from Ghasdai without your brother?" Dream asked, wondering what they were gonna do now.

"Well, I learned his name. So we could try to find him on our own." Blue offered his new found friend.

"What is his name?" Serena asked, curiosity overwhelming her.

"His name's Killer." Blue replied, Dream nodded.

"And you said he had black tears running down his empty eyes at all times?" Dream asked, wanting to get a clear picture of who this monster was. Blue nodded, reassuring his friend. "Then, it shouldn't be to hard. He would probably stick out actually."

Serena chuckled at this. "Yeah, he would."

"Blue, we're leaving tonight. So get ready. Serena will be our lookout as we leave the kingdom." Dream told his friend. Blue looked him in the eyes, a mixture of excitement, determination, and a little bit of fear was painted in the waves of his eyes.

"Alright, I'll be ready."
