Harvest Moon Island of Confusion

The keys. Pierre and Shea makes a stand!

"I'm not too sure if I can keep this up!" Rod huffs.

Eliot, Rod and Hiro had ran into drama themselves, and were each battling against the unwanted guards. Suddenly, all that was heard was Hiro's ear piercing shouts, as a guard had sunk his blade deep into Hiro's shoulder. Rod gasped. "Rod!" Eliot shouts, but Rod wasn't listening.

"You bastard!" he roars, pouncing onto the scene. With a closed fist, and actions fuelled by fury, the blonde haired man throws a wild punch, sucker punching the guard in his jaw. The guard fell, jaw out of place, and screams filling the hall.

However; Rod failed to notice the guard who was quick to dash behind him.With his fist incased in silver, he too, threw a wild attack. Though, it was not Rod that he hit. Directly in the center of his face, had Eliot been struck. The guard jumps back, surprised at how fast Eliot was to shield his brethren.

"How the hell did you...."

Eliot slips his glasses off his face, and watched in silence as the shards of glass fell to his shoes. "You shouldn't have done that..." Eliot whispers, folding them back up and slipping them into his pocket. "Now, i'm mad" he looks up at the man, his eyes serious, and displaying rage.

........................

Legend foretells of a hero of light, a hero who was was once a god. A god who sinned, and was banished down to earth, where he could repent for his sins. The only way he was to be forgiven by the other lords, was if he was able to open the door to the passageway of time, and reverse the crime in which he committed. However; to do that, he was to collect three keys. One of bronze, silver and the final key being forged from gold.

Those keys were never found though, and due to him having been transformed into a human, the once loved god, eventually died. Years passed, and the carrier's of the keys passed them down onto their kin, along with the key's holy powers. Rachel was only a mere child, as was Lillian, when the Harvest Goddess paid them a visit.

With her holy power's, the Goddess revealed to them their destinies, forever keeping them close to her until the day arrives where the passage way can be opened up, and the once sinful god can finally rest in peace.

"I will not forgive you for what you have done to my people" The goddess declares. She holds out her hand where multiple lights surround. "I call forth the bronze key!"

Yuuki looks to her, rather smug. "That is perfectly fine with me, also" he grins. "For I shall never forgive you for what you did to my heart"

......................................

"You filthy commoner's!" shouts the General, as he dodged multiple attacks sent by the Witch Princess. Shane sighs and as he dodges, he also mumbles words from a language unknown to even the Princess. A grin is formed and he chants. "McNikenza IenZo Renata ELzentojI!"

"Stupid warlock!" the Princess grumbles. "Don't you fuck with me!!!"

In reaction, she summoned her staff and pointed it towards Shane and his army. A black mist consumed them all, and as they stared down at their feet, they paid notice to the shadows that began to emerge beneath. "Wh-what the?!" Sabrina whines in a panic.

"Your experience with the dark arts can never match my own! My skill is far superior to yours, Shane!" she spat out rather bitterly. Shane grins, as a shadowy figure of his own began to grow.

"I have summoned the black guardian from the underworld!" Declares Shane.

The princess glares. She grips her staff rather tightly and launches herself forward with it, casting spells as she ran. However; none seemed to have taken effect, and that alone, caused her pace to come still. "What the hell....?"

"Oh yes, Princess" her attention darts back onto Shane. "This creature.... is numb to your ability. Any, magic to be precise"

"Yet it thrives on magic to survive? What a stupid guardian" Lana snarls. Shane rolls his eyes at her "immature comment"

Her eye's widened, as the creature pulled a scythe from behind his back, and positioned himself comfortably to launch his attack. "Everyone, run!" the Princess screams.

With her staff, she too, positioned herself. "Is she planning to stay behind to fend off his attack!?" asks Pierre. "That's suicide! Her magic has no use!"

Without a second thought, as the attack came into motion, Pierre raced to her aide. Her eyes enlarged further, as she felt two arms wrap around her waist. When she cocked her head to the side, to glance over her shoulder, she was indeed surprised to find him there. "You idiot! I told you to run!" she screams.

Pierre though, just laughed her words away. It was as if everything happened to be moving slowly, as if time had decided that she should live. For Pierre held her with a firm grip, and catapulted her out of the way. Suddenly, time sped up, and the scythe came hurdling down. "I wont run..." he laughs, watching as the blade swiped across, almost reaching its destination. "I love you, Natalie...."

..........................

"I am not your son!" Shea yells, throwing attacks at Lord Jinoah. "You, you are not my father!"

"My first wife was unable to bare a child!" he snarls, dodging his attacks at a rapid speed. "So I took in Yuuki once stumbling upon him during a raid of the Royal Empire in the west. It was unsafe, and he was obviously not trained in survival skills, hence why he was sent over to your island"

Shea just rolls his eyes, as he continued throw many punches. "Oh please!" he scoffs. "You sent him over there until he was able to take the throne, purely because your empire would crumble if it did not continue! You thought him to be a burden!"

Lord Jinoah proceeded to ignore his facts though. The Lord just continued to glare at the blunt, native which stood before him. A glare which he received also. "My son, was not a burden"

That's when Shea's hardened stare, formed into a soft smile. "Who's your son?" he asks, with his right brow raised. "Lord Yuuki, or myself?"

It was because he said that sentence ever so smugly, that Jinoah appeared momentarily silenced. "What do you want from me? You are in line before Yuuki to claim my throne. Is that what you desire, boy-"

"What I desire, is equality" Shea snarls. "If he wont do it, then I will. I'm here to make a stand against you, my Lord"

To be continued.
Eliot's hidden rage.
