Eternal Discovery

Chapter 3: Fusion of Friendship

Tema and Lucile were walking down the north lane and the shops were closing as they walked. Tema fondly thought about the tour he was given and the new friend he had made "so this what a friend feels like. Lucile's quite friendly and thanks to her mother I got a free sword. I have to remember to thank her"

"hmm Lucile thanks for the tour today I really enjoyed seeing the town. It was really nice of you" Lucile's face turned a shade of red at that  comment

"Thanks Tema I think you're quite are nice. Oh...and honourable too"  as Tema was about to reply a loud voice pierced the air

 "help someone please!!" Lucile face turned pale in response

 "Mom!" she rushed back to her armoury and Tema ran after her.

In front of the Armoury was a fairly large crowd of mixed ages and genders. Tema squeezed through to the front of the crowd and next to him was a horrified Lucile with her mother on the floor covered in bruises with a cut down her arm, Behind her stood Clay with a sniggering look on his face. He walked around Fiona with his sword down by his side and  he spoke in a loud and overbearing voice "well folks here before you is a woman who's sunk to such a low value, she has to resort to bribing her customers (a portion of people in the crowd laughed at this remark) I mean look at this pretty face and no man would say no" 

Clay grabbed her chin and displayed Fiona's face to the crowd including Tema and Lucile,  Tema felt a strange feeling begin emerging deep within himself as he watched Clay "this woman has not only stolen one my 'precious' customers she didn't even "accept" my gracious offer. I think she just lacks respect and it's time someone taught her what it means" grabbing her by the chin again he raised his right hand and slapped her so she hit the ground. " as long as you know your place, see how easy it is (he then turned his back on Fiona) to gain respect".

"I'd never respect a monster like you" cried Fiona as she stood up, producing a knife from her shorts.

Fiona charged at him and almost out of instinct Clay turned around, grabbed her by the arm and threw her back to the ground. Lucile couldn't watch anymore and ran to her mother's side "Mother are you alright?" Clay simply sniggered

"Well another mouse has joined the fray it seems. Don't worry about her she just needs to learn respect and she can start by lying in the dirt" as Clay laughed the crowd (partially) joined in with in with him but Tema just stood there

"what is the feeling?...this rising bubbling feel towards this man. How can he be so...cruel?

Lucile Stood up in front of Fiona and took out her sword "So you want to fight me ayyy?" sniggered Clay " well I could go for a warm-up I Guess" and he produced his sword, which was a shining, far-reaching silver sword which he held with both hands. Fiona moved first with some impressive speed directly at Clay. He attacked Lucile with a vertical slice of his sword but she swiftly dodged and attacked him from behind however his thick armour weakened the blow. This continued for a while. Although Clay was strong (with indents on the ground as proof) she was just too fast as he felt every strike (although minor)  from her sword  "you may be faster but you'll slip up eventually and as soon as your dead your mother is next"

"we'll just see about that here have this" replied Lucile as she put her sword down to one side and put her other hand to her chest. A wind began emitting from her and she released the wind to Clay "Wind Crash!!" the wind encased Clay in it, lifting him of his feet and then smashing him into the ground.
