Episode 6: The Fourth Rule

EPISODE 6: THE FOURTH RULE: 'TO TWO FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN AT FEUD FORAGES, HE WILL RESTORE PEACE'

It was currently nighttime. I sat at the Dining Table with my parents and siblings.

"How did the day go San?" my Dad asked.

"Horrible. In one day, I have inadvertently fulfilled three rules I wanted to avoid!" I said with a tearful look.

"What were the Second and Third Rules?" Keiran asked.

"The Second Rule was 'He Will Meet A Girl From A Land Not His Own Whose Name Is Tied to His Fate!' That turned out to be the Almighty Transfer Student who messes your life up event. I would never have guessed that by another 'land', the Rule meant another 'school'" I sighed in depression.

"And the Third Rule?" Saito asked.

"'She Will Love Him Whose Face She Has Never Seen'. I thought by that Ciella would fall for a masked or mysterious figure like my alter ego or the armoured tank" I said.

"How could she fall for the armoured tank?" Saito glared at me in sarcasm.

"Well, she said she met a knight in shining armour" I said. "How was that rule fair anyway? Its fulfilment was not even dependent on me" I said.

"How was this Rule fulfilled? Who did this Ciella person fall for?" Ariel asked.

"Me....not my alter ego or the armoured tank. Plain old me" I said.

My siblings looked like they were trying to stifle laughter.

"I thought if she saw the face of the one she loved, the family 'curse' would be nullified. Turns out if you reverse the logic...she doesn't know the Bloody Caped Guy was actually me so...she saw my face...but only half of it" I sighed in depression.

At that my parents burst into laughter.

"Well, nothing can be done about the first three Rules now that they have been fulfilled. You should focus on the Fourth now" Ariel said.

"Don't keep us in suspense! What's the Fourth Rule?!" Saito asked eagerly.

I opened the Tome. It was blank initially, then words appeared within it.

"THE FOURTH RULE: 'TO TWO FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN AT FEUD FOR AGES, HE WILL RESTORE PEACE!' I read out loud.

"Ouch! That one might sting a bit" Saito said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"You'll find out soon. Half expect it" Saito said.

"Dad, we wouldn't happen to have a person or group of people that bear a grudge against our family now would we?" I asked suspiciously.

"Except for Zanfar, I don't think so. After the battle against Zanböngfar, most Dream Knights stopped harbouring feelings of animosity towards Dreamweavers. Our family shouldn't have any enemies" my Dad said.

"You're wrong. I can think of at least one person that harbours a grudge against our family. Nope, not against our family. Specifically against Dad and San" Saito said.

"Who is it?! Spill Saito!" I ordered.

"No way, that will take away the fun. I want to see how you will evade the family 'curse' San. You'd better be careful. This person's skills at archery almost rival Gramps'" Saito said.

"WHAT?! Someone as strong as Gramps is targeting me?!" I screamed.

"I didn't say this person was as strong as Gramps. I said their skill at archery almost rivals Gramps'" Saito said as she stared at me from the corner of her eyes. "Anyway, I'm going to bed. I've given you enough spoilers and you know how I hate spoilers right?" Saito winked and walked away. "Have fun hero" she laughed sinisterly.
