When Dark Meets Light

The protector

He was sitting on a tree stump taking a break. Sweat dripped down his body. The training was hard, but it was the only way to get Jessabel back. He had to be stronger. Once he found her, he wouldn't fail her a second time.

FLASH BACK

He watched as the man on the horse road away with her. He yelled and ran but it was no use. She was gone his sister was gone. He dropped to his knee and punched the ground repeatedly in frustration. He didn't know where he was and he had just lost his little sister. God knows what that man was planning to do with her. He stopped punching the ground when he heard horses coming his way again. He grabbed the stick that he had dropped. He faced the three men once again.

" Where is she? Who was that? And what is he planning to do with her?" they just looked at each other.

" Do you work for him?" the one from before step forward again.

" No lad. We do not have anything to do with him. We are enemies. He is Prince Tristan a tyrant in our world along with his father and brother. He is the Kings eldest son, and just as cruel. We do not know where he is, but know where he is headed." he paused for a second his look sad when he continued. " What he wants with her we aren't certain but it could very well mean her death."

" NOOO. You know where he's going, take me to him."

" You wouldn't last long boy. The Prince is not an easy foe to take on. We know for only luck has us speaking before you. You have great skills but you lack training to better your ability."

" NO. I need to find my sister."

" You have time. He will not harm her until he reaches his father." he must have seen the doubt in me at what he said.

" Alone and untrained you will be killed, and than who would safe your sister?"

" Ok. What do I do?"

END OF FLASH BACK

They had brought me to their village and explain to me how I was my sisters protector and how her gift could safe their world. I wasn't so sure about any of that, I just wanted my sister safe and sound here with me.

" Damian, lets continue." Corvac mentioned for me to go to him. He was the leader of the three men from that day. The white hair one was Slavec and the black haired one was named Derran. They were the closest things to friends I had and they were also my teachers. They all took turns training me.

" Grab your sword and ready yourself." I did what he told me. I gripped the sword with both hands and got ready.

" Attack." I raised the sword and charged. He blocked me really easy. but I also blocked his counter attack. We blocked attack for attack. I dodged and swung, he jumped back avoiding my sword. He charged but as he got close I dodged turning in a circle and coming up behind him with my sword to his throat. He laughed.

" Well done boy. Well done, you have learned quickly in just three days. Shows that you are the protector." I let go of him.

" Does this mean we can start going after my sister now." I couldn't help sounding like a hopeful little kid.

" Yes lad. Be ready. We leave early in the morn." I ran to the cottage were I had been staying with Derran.

' Whoa boy slow down." I ignored him and started packing the few things I had." I see Corvac gave you the news." He laughed and left, leaving me alone to finish. Don't worry Jess. I'm coming, and whoever took you will pay. I'll make sure of it.
