I Was Never Yours To Begin With

chapter 4 (The Legend)

~ with Santi ~

It's a new day in isla encanto. And the festival only a weeks away.

I woke up.. confused. I nervously look around. When I saw that I was on El bravo, I took a deep breath and stood up.

Santi decided to travel back to isla encanto after being gone for the night patrolling the seas.

Though.. during the time he patrolled, he found something. A map and a scroll.

As I was steering El bravo, I let go of the steering wheel, entrusting the powers of the wind to take us to isla encanto.

I went downstairs and took Kiko, my pet frog with me.

Santi took out the map and the scroll. He sat down on the floor and placed the map beside him. He opened the scroll and started reading it..

~• The legend of the four weapons •~

Long ago, there were four ancient masters who were deployed to war. They didn't know each other at the time.

They were brave warriors, ones who represented their kingdom as the strongest knights.

They all settled on the battle field, with their armies behind them.

"We will not give you our territory."
Master Jewett said.

Master Kaldor had a straight face on, same as the other masters.

"Thou shall not quarrel!"
Master Verne yelled. She was a very peaceful person and was not into war and any of this. But clearly, her queen didn't know.

Master Ivory growled. He didn't like the noise either.

Then, there was a huge earthquake in the background. Master Verne's eyes widen as she fell on the ground.

Then, an arrow was shot at them. Sooner, multiple arrows were shot. There came a much larger foe. An army much larger than all of the masters armies combined.

The masters and their armies got together and fought the foe and it's army.

They lost nearly the entire army and informed the others to flee and leave the battle field, as the masters stayed.

The masters were fighting as and defending as hard as they could.

Until..

Master Verne was shot with an arrow. The other masters were startled.

Master Ivory ran towards Verne and carried her away from the battle field. Him forgetting about the arrow that was shot on her and was solely focused on keeping her safe from the war that was happening.

Masters Kaldor and Jewett finished off the fight as the enemies army retreats. They swore to be back.

Kaldor and Jewett ran to find Ivory and Verne.

They found the two other masters in the edge of the forest near a river, where Verne was in Ivory's arms.

Soon, they discovered the arrow on Verne's chest and took it off. Of course, her blood was flowing out, that was what master Ivory was most worried about. He ripped a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her wounded area.

Kaldor held the arrow and thought of destroying it.

But Jewett saw something on it. It was almost like.. it wasn't a normal arrow.

Jewett grabbed the arrow out of Kaldor's hands and broke it in half. There, she saw a small note inside. How unfortunate..

They brought the note to Verne and Ivory, to read it together.

It was a note requesting for war.

The masters were troubled. Seeing as their armies were slaughtered.

They traveled for days. Until it turned into months.

War was approaching and they didn't have a single thought of what they will do.

Until.. Master Ivory had a thought.

He shared his thought to the other masters.

How they could forge weapons. And not just any weapons, very powerful weapons.

Verne, Kaldor and Jewett all agreed to Ivory's plan.

Soon, they created a forge, hidden deep beneath a city..

There, they forged the four ancient weapons.

Master Jewett's Helmet. Capable of having the powers of controlling the wind.

Master Kaldor's storm wheels. Capable of controlling the weather, storms and lightings.

Master Verne's scythe. Capable of creating and bending fire.

And..

Master Ivory's gauntlet. Capable of creating huge earthquakes and controlling ground related items.

All of these weapons. Together,neither their powers, are capable of finishing the enemie's army.

A week later, the big war has begun..

Though..

The weapons they forged weren't only kept with ancient powers.. but also capable of trapping souls of whom it's killed.

The war was easily over.

The masters were rejoiced. But.. they realize the mistakes they've done.

They nearly destroyed the world and caused it to end.

The masters decided together. To hide the weapons and swear to protect them with every ounce of their life and being.

And so..

The masters separated.

They hid the weapons far, far away from each other, hidden away from the world.

Many generations have come.. and so far no one has found any of the ancient weapons yet..

~• end •~

"What.." Santi says, confused.

He was shocked, bamboozled even. He knew he had to hide the scroll anf the map. He had to protect it in hoped that none of it will fall to the wrong hands...
