Chapter 43: Iain sunday

Iain woke up to taint everywhere, Jeeze he had slept in the main room to avoid it.. it was supposed to be only in his room!  he sat up and crossed his legs. He was surrounded, in a clean circle in the middle of the room, surrounded by taint everywhere, he sighed he had to wait to be rescued.. he started suddenly, he was still wearing the blindfold! he removed it and saw darkness all around him, no wait it was lighting up.  It was light now, he was standing in a desert town. he saw shadowy figures with glowing red eyes charging at him he jumped out of the way and they ran past. he looked the way they were running, more shadow figures, these had blue eyes, and... bot the red and blue eyed soldiers had muskets and swords and bows.  He saw purple shadows lying on the ground dead, and in the middle a pile of weapons... A sycth, a Bow, a Longsword,  a broken mirror shaped like a knife, and at the top of the pile stuck into the earth was a purple cutlass, with a black endereye and handle.  The shadows began fighting, arrows whizzed by glowing blue and red, and the light above the middle turned purple with the colors. he was shot by a musket and he woke up, Blindfold still on.  Dianite was across the taint yelling at him "Hold in there My boy! well get you out" he smiled and relaxed everything was fine now.  The taint was cleared away, and it was lunch time.  He headed to the dine at night, blindfold still on.  He feared to take it of for fear of another vision. He arrived and grabbed his lunch he ate it quietly.  He could hear the whispers of everyone, questioning his blindfold.  let them whisper, it didn't hurt him.  He moved his head to the left side and held up his hand catching the punch that a random Mianitee had thrown. he heard gasps,  he released his hand and kept eating.  "Let them wonder, let them hide, let them fear, let them love, let them fight, let them live, let them die." Martha had said there world is none of your concern.  You are a realm walker now.  You have the sight, it allows you to see the future and cross the dimensions at will. Much like our spark. he finished eating and walked to the door, he ducked and tripped the mianitee infront of him who punched at him, Please, just because he was blind with his eyes didn't mean he was blind in his mind.  He went to the smeltary and worked on his weapon, it needed to be free, Mot had said that a weapon follows your will, if you want it to bend, he had forced his sword into the wall and it had bent all the way tip to hilt, it will bend, if you want it to be hard he struck again, the sword driving into the wall 3 inches, it will be hard.  Iain practiced that and it worked.  he headed to PE, time to kick ass, and as lucas would say "Chew bubblegum"  he spared with steve, steve was taking turns sparring with everyone, today was his turn, it was supposed to be lucas' but... he turned in time to dodge steves swing, he could tel steve was impressed with his fighting style, "You rumble alot like our spark, you do." Steve suddenly said, "Blindfolded, preferring to doge like a confounded kangaroo then attack and when they least expect it ya give em a right waking!" he laughed ducked under steves arm and punched him in the back "Like that?" he asked. He didn't get an answer though because Steve ended the class there.  After class there was a meting with the gods, all they really said was the taint, solved for now, was getting bad, and to be prepared to evacuate.  He didn't really care,  he expected something like this, and all he needed to take was is blindfold and his and Lucas' cutlass, the only things left that had meaning left for him.
