The samurai, An Legendary Adventure Tale Part 3

Chapter twenty-eight: The four directions, part 1

The tower guard peeked through the window and saw something in the dark that caught his eye. He turned to see what was behind it, then he realized that the light inside had disappeared, leaving him with a very strange feeling.

"What?" He said.

Then suddenly, he was attacked by an enormous weapon!

"What was that?" Said one of the guards.

"I don't know." The other guard asked, looking around. "How can I help you?"

He looked at the other four men who were standing with the corpse of the fallen guard.

"You must be mistaken," they replied. "The man's dead. He just got hit."

The others started in terror at their falling comrade.

"That's not good!" said one of the guards, "I'm going to kill this guy."

"No problem!" cried another guard, "He's dead already!"

"But, wait." The guard shouted.

"Why are they here? Why is there no light in this place?" One of the guard throught.

"Because the man is dead," said one of the guards.

"And why do we need more crystal Jems." The guard said.

But it was too late, the four beings destroyed them as a large amount of crystals fell onto the ground except one survived.

Later on at the crystal Jems' place for hanging out, that night, Shiro and the others looked out at the sea of Jems before them as a huge festival was taking place and everyone was dancing and celebrating.

While Lance chatted with some girls and Pidge and Hunk were talking to some new friends contentedly. Also with Keith finally resting, Shiro can finally relax.

But as Shiro made his way through the village, he spotted a familiar figure limping at the gate at the edge of the village.

"Hello." He called after him. At the sound of Shiro's voice, the music died down and everyone gathered round.

"What's going on?" Oilon said as he made his way over to Shiro and the injured soldier; the soldier guard looked exhausted and terrified.

"What happened?" Shiro asked him.

"Something has attacked us at the gate." Guard replied. "We don't know how, we don't know why, they attacked us with no interest in survivors."

"That's impossible, no one has dared to attack the temple." Oilon said.

Just then, mysterious figures had just arrived, one of them was a young woman dressed in black wearing only her face and hair, holding up a small basket filled with water and something else she couldn't quite see. She seemed very frightened, much like the rest of her party, all three of them were wearing hoods and masks much like a plague doctor.

They also had strange faces, which gave the impression they weren't really afraid anymore.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" asked Oilon.

"We are the four directions, we were sent by Haggar to destroy you." One of the group said.

"Haggar?" Shiro said. "Are you sure?"

Oilon nodded. "I am not sure either. I think you're just trying to scare me."

"Then why did you want to kill us? You have been warned! You can't be trusted!" The woman said.

"No wonder you've got such a fear of death." Oilon said, starting to attack.

However as he prepares to attack, the woman at least some deadly smoke, developing everyone and soon everybody suddenly arrives at a mountain.
