"Why do you want to do this again?" I asked a man in a black tuxedo with a red bow tie.
"This is an interview, I take notes you write the book from your perspective."He said.
"Is this safe?" I asked , thinking about enemies who might want to look for my weaknesses.
"Just write from what happened after this," he said showing me notes from an interview with orange, "to what heppened after the invasion that brought horror to our land." He said.
Well.
We had just taken out the bandits who attacked our training facility. We decided to go confront the king for not sending reinforcements to save us, or grey. But first we had decided to bury grey. We did what we through was right by burying him with his armor on, and his bow, and shield in hand. He treasured that bow like we treasure our swords. Well except for red. Blue had covered the hole with orange built a rock base, and put the sword in the top, hilt up. After that, we all got arrows, lit them on fire, and fired them at the place where we trained all at once. Our way of showing the king what he took from us. He treasured that facility, we missed our trainer. Blue couldn't hold in any longer, and broke down. Even red took off his helmet and got on his knee, and let out a few tears. Orange and I had to stay strong. I could see orange twitching, but I just rested my hand on his shoulder. He turned and nodded at me.
After the facility was nothing but a pile of ash, we set off to the castle. The king had better have a heck of an explanation for this. We walked half the journey in silence. Then it happened. I reached the church. I remembered the blood that had been shed here.
"Are you ok?" Orange asked. "Your hands are twitching."
I hadn't realized it until now. My hands were shaking.
"It was 2 months before training. I was supposed to get married in this church. It was all going well until the cyclops attacked. He killed almost everyone. All but me and my friend Vac. I wondered though, why the cyclops payed no attention to Vac. Then I realized it. Vac had always been jealous of me. So he had to ruin my wedding. I fought with rage, and destroyed the cyclops and knocked Vac unconscious. I just ran until the king found me. I explained what had happened to him, and that's how I became an apprentice for knighthood."
"Oh. Sorry I had no idea." Orange said.
"It's fine." I said.
"We can go around the church if you want. So you don't have to..." Orange started, but I interrupted.
"It's fine." I said. "I want to go through."
"If you say." Orange responded.
Red and Blue stayed silent for the whole conversation.
We entered the church. It was already dark when we entered, and we were all exhausted. We decided to spend the night in the church. We had to take watch, so I said I'd go first, and wake up orange in an hour or so. Red and Blue had gone through the most, so Orange and I secretly agreed to just let them rest the night out. Once everyone was asleep, I walked up to the alter. No one had bothered to take down the decorations, or clean up the bones. I kneeled down onto one foot, and stabbed my sword down into the ground with such force that the stone around it cracked. I just sat in silence. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I looked around and saw orange behind me.
"Mind if I join?" He asked.
I just motioned next to me. I couldn't speak. I felt if I did it would explode like a shower of tears. He copped my position, kneeling on his left knee, but gently laying his sword down. I understood told why. Incase something attacked. I felt a slight drop on my hand. Rain. Great.
"This is cliche." I said to orange.
"Yeah." He responded.
"Go to sleep." He said. "I know this church is a pain to you, but you need rest."
"Yeah." I said, closing my eyes. Next thing I know, Blue is shaking me awake.
"Huh?" I said, my eyes still half closed.
"It's the king." Blue said.
"What?" I asked, "wait. Does this mean I can destroy him now?"
"Not exactly." Blue said, showing me his hands. They were chained together. Great the last thing I needed was to be under arrest. I held out my arms as a knight arrested me. I was blindfolded and thrown into a wagon. Red was outside putting up a fight from what I heard. Suddenly the wagon caught fire. A hand yanked the blindfold off my eyes. It was orange.
"Come on, let's fight!" He yelled cutting my handcuffs and handing me my sword. I bolted out of the flaming wagon and attacked the castle guards. The king bolted outside and fled. But he had left his guards behind. And he still had to pass through thief territory to got to the castle.
"Let's follow him!" I yelled to the other Knights, fighting guards. They just delivered knock out punches and dashed for another cart that was there. We went at full speed after the king. We entered thief territory, and we saw the Kings wagon veering off course, as thief's shot arrows at it.
"Light 'em up!" Red yelled pointing at the thieves. I was steering the wagon, but blue and orange started firing bolts of fire and ice. And the occasional bolt of lightning.
"He's mine!" Red yelled at a thief climbing the wagon, and kicked him off. Eventually the thieves fled. It was just us and him. Red jumped to the cart. He was holding on barely but holding on. He blasted a hole in the ceiling of the wagon. The king yelled in fear.
I heard red yell, "THIS IS FOR GREY." and fired a bolt at the lamp on the cart, causing it to explode, and the cart to engulf itself in flames. Red and the king jumped off. The driver was already dead from a thief arrow. The cart veered off course, blew up, and landed in a river.
"King. It's so. Nice to see you again." Red spat, shoving him. "You are defenseless in this forest. Thief territory. The kingdom boundaries say so them self."
"Please, I'm sorry for leaving you at the training area." The king said.
"SORRY DOSEN'T CUT IT." Blue yelled kicking him as hard as he could.
"SORRY WON'T BRING DAD BACK." He yelled kicking him again.
"Blue, hold back. Let him go back." I said. I turned to the king. "Tell the kingdom we died in a thief ambush."
"Yes." He wheezed.
"Take our cart. Get to the castle. If we see you again, we will put you through torture 100% times worse than death." I said.
"Thank you." The king said, bolting over to our cart.
"Shut up." Orange said.
"Grey was your dad?" Red asked once the king was gone.
"Yes." Blue said.
"What now?" Orange asked me.
"We explore the land." I said, walking in the way to get out of the forest.
"Ok." He responded.
They all just followed me.
"Wait, what about the stealing of the crystal?" The man in the tuxedo asked.
"The king didn't quite listen, and brainwashed the kingdom into believing that story. How he did it, no one knows." I responded.
