The Adventures Of Tempus: The Champion Of Four

Chapter 5: A Talk With Tybalt

 Just after the bandits were all out of sight we heard a grunting sound from the house the leader had crashed into. We all turned around and i levelled my sword. Ten to two were not good odds but 5 to 1 (The farmers were now armed with pitchforks) where the ladder had no sword. Those were odds we could take. In anger i charged him, this time he did not even try to fight, he ran straight to his horse and galloped out after the others. I tried running after him but his horse was just to fast. "DAM IT!" i shouted once I stopped trying to chase him because he was out of range.

Now that the fighting was over and the adrenaline rush was starting to fade i was starting to feel the extent of my injuries from the fight with the bandits. As well as the energy rush after sending the bandit leader flying.

The next few hours were a blur. They moved Fredrick's body and took me back to Tybalts house to get fixed up, since he was a doctor. What the townspeople had said kept reverberating through my skull. "Fredrick would have been proud", "he always told us we should show those bandits they cant push us around, thank you" and more stuff along those lines. It was only after i healed that Tybalt asked the question that I'm sure was on everybody mind, including my own. "How did you send the bandit flying?". This was the question I was both dreading to come up and wondering what the answer was."Is it possible you were from one of the four big family's before you lost your memory, it is rumoured that each family had a unique power from the gods that was passed down throughout the family. If you were a member of one of the family it could explain what happened. However I'm not a expert on the family's and their powers." said Tybalt. "Hmm" we both thought for a moment. "I know" exclaimed Tybalt. "How about when i take the wagon up to Hythe city to sell our towns goods on the market i take you with me. I know of a man, a descendant of the Vawdrey family, who is a expert on the powers of the familys. if you were a member of one of them he would recognize your power." Now i was rather confused. In the short time i had been in the village we had not talked much about the capitals or the family so I did not know what he was talking about. "Hythe, Vawdrey???" I asked him. "ahh i have not explained that to you get. Here let me explain. As you know the kingdom is divided into 4 sectors with 4 big city and one major city. The nearest big city to us is the city of Hythe, capital of our sector and run by the Vawdrey family." explained Tybalt. "Why would this guy talk to me than, if he's part of the Vardrey family does that not make him royalty!" i asked. "Well no, the family's are all very large. many generations ago four noble people were blessed by a god and they have had many decdendants. Only the firstborn of every generation gets to become the next king. The other siblings family's become branch family's. The man I'm taking you to meet is part of a branch family and is not very important to the kingdom. That being said all members of the family are considered to be Nobles so act respectfully in their presence." Said Tybalt.

Than Tybalt asked me "Lets go to the big city this Thursday when I head up." I nodded and told him i would like to go up to the big city with him and meet this man who might know more about my past.
