Was Once Wonderful

Chapter 5

A month quickly passed by. Sage was welcomed warmly, More information was known about Demetron about their next plans. The walls were now supervised and everyone was taught how to fight just in case. But not only that. More super zombies (More stronger than the ones in the 4 areas) keep appearing outside the central city and is trying to break down our walls. Now Commander had to divide us into 4 groups. The 4 groups are assigned where to guard, whether be it North, south, east or west. The 4 groups are divided into 2 units. One will guard during the day and one during the night. Sage also stated that Demetron will make their move sooner so we have to train more. Right now i'm in the training room, having a dual training with Commander. 

"Yuuki, There are 10 duel commandments." Commander said as he opened his water bottle, looking at me while doing so. I raised a brow and sat down on the grass, wiping my sweat off of my face. "There are duel commandments?" He drank from his bottle and nodded when he finished, sitting down on bench. 

"Number one. The challenge, Demand satisfaction. If they apologize, No need for further actions."

"Number two. If they don't, grab a friend, that's your second. Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned."

"Number three. Have your seconds meet face to face. Negotiate a peace. Or negotiate a time and place."

"Number four. If they don't reach a peace, that's alright. Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site. You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility. You have him turn around so he can have deniability."

"Number Five. Duel before the sun is in the sky. Pick a place to die where it's high and dry."

"Number Six. Leave a note for your next of kin. Tell 'em where you been. Pray that hell or heaven lets you in."

"Number seven. Confess your sins. Ready for the moment of adrenaline when you finally face your opponent."

"Number Eight. Your last chance to negotiate. Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight."

"Number Nine. Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher. Summon all the courage you require then count one two three four five six seven eight nine, number ten paces fire."

I chuckled. "Does Sage and Addy know about this?" He looked at me with a smile. "I did." He looked up in the sky, then back at me. "Follow the ten duel commandments kid. Not following it could end up in something worst." He patted my shoulder and walked away. I looked at my sword. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9-- 10. 10 is the trigger. I sighed and stood up. I whistled and called Chewie who was hanging out with Sattang from afar. She perked her head up and looked at me happily. She ran towards me and pounced on top of me, sending me to the ground. I laughed and tried to stop her from licking my face. "Easy there." I gently pushed her away and dusted my hands.

while walking back, I felt something deep in my gut. It wasn't good. I did all my best to ignore it to not worry about anything. Not now. I can't think of something like that right now. Negative thoughts will put me out of focus. Chewie noticed my uneasiness and nudged my hand with her snout, looking at me as if asking if I'm okay. I just smiled at her and ruffled her hair. As soon as we got back to the house, I immediately switched clothes. From swag pants and black turtle neck sweater to Red boy shorts and white shirt. I grabbed some chips and went downstairs to settle down on the couch and watch TV.
