Knights of Kaskalula

Shocking Discovery

      It has been a few hours after our heros have left the kingdom to go search for Gorudonaito. Rugishima was amazed with the scenery outside the walls and was writing so much in his journal. He almost got left behind because he was distracted looking at a deer, he's never seen a live deer before. He has only seen them, well dead and cut into pieces.
   
      "The outside world is so beautiful!" Rugishima ran with his horse in the flower patch flinging a bunch of petals into the sky.
    Red looks over to him
       
     "Black Knight, you need to focus on what's ahead of us." Rugishima gets annoyed, but he follows orders anyway because he was the leader.

      Another hour or two on the trail they come across a village.
     
      "Anyone need to do a little business?" Everyone looked at eachother and agreed that they need to do "business". So they headed towards the village and the villagers. Once they had reached the town they noticed something quiet odd.
   
      "Hey um guys, where is everybody?" Green Knight ask everyone, all of them started to look around. They saw nobody, and a few buildings were torn down as well.
       
       "Everyone split up and look for any signs of life here." Red Knight commanded everyone, and they did so. Angelo went by the bath house and searched it, he saw no sign of anyone. Yellow Knight went to the market center with Red. And started calling out and searching for people.
 
      "Hello, anyone out here?" Once he said that something moved inside a shack next to them.
       
        "Who's there, we won't hurt you. Just come outside slowly." A young girl comes out from the shack and walks out slowly towards them. She has tears of fear running down her face. The young girl starts to break down out of the blue.
Red and Yellow Knight get off their horse to help the young girl. They put her on the horse and brought her back to the group.
   
        "Hey what happened, is there anyone else?" Blue called from the distance.
 
        "No, none that we know of!" Red calls back.
They all stopped next to eachother and asked the girl questions one at a time and also tried not to make her uncomfortable.
       
       "Young girl, what happened? Where did your people go?" Blue Knight kneeled next to her.The young girl tries to speak but just starts crying thinking about it. So they waited until she calmed down. After a minute or two of sobbing she finally calmed down and was able to speak.
     
      "He... did it." Her voice was soft, the knights were confused.
       
         "Who is he, do you know of his name?" The girl nodded her head and spoke.
     
       "Gorudonaito." Everybody took a glance at the girl.
     
         "Excuse me, I dont think I heard you right. Did you say Gorudonaito?" She nodded her head. Nobody believed her, they all were getting confused and frustrated trying to wrap their head around it.
     
      "Are you sure it was him, how could you be so sure?"
       
      "The gilded blade and the shiny golden armour, but only he didn't look the same." The girl got a shock of fear on her face again. She started to sob.
       
       "His eyes were cold, and there was black oil leaking from the creases of the amour. In one of his hands was an orb that took the souls from my people." The girl broke down even more.
         
      "I was so scared! I lost my family and friends, and they are no where to be found. I hid in the food market and hoped that all of this was a bad dream!" The knights gathered together to discuss this. They were all sure that she was lying, but the people in the town.
   
        "Their was no one, but why all of a sudden would the Hero appear and just take the souls of..." And then it clicked in their heads. The girl mentioned an orb, could it be the same orb the Demons used long ago in the war? It would make sense because nobody could find him in any of the lands, so the only place was Akuma No Tochi. And that's where the Demons once roamed before, but where could he have gotten a Demon artifact they thought.
     
         "Shinolima, he's a Demon dragon. But still, how could he of had gotten an artifact." Black Knight steps forward.
   
      "I've actually read something about him, it said in this book I was studying that Shinolima makes a deal with a person if they are willing to do something for him."
       
       "But what could've Gorudonaito wish for?" Yellow Knight questions. Angelo then says that he always talked about how he had a family.
   
       "Our hero went to Shinolima to make a deal to bring back his family?" Blue Knight started to walk around in circles trying to soak up this information.
     
       "We dont know for sure, but it is a possibility that our Hero did do something unfaithful." None of them wanted to believe that but it does lead ul to what did just happen. They all turned to the girl who was patiently waiting on the horse.
   
       "Look here, the next village we see we are going to drop you off there and find you a good home. How does that sound?" The girl agreed with Blue and gave him a hug. The Knights followed the trail again towards another village that had shown on the map. So they headed off again but with their heads scrambled upon the situation.
