Blade Knight Chronicles

Volume 2: Chapter 2

A couple of hours later, they have arrived at their house in the city, and it's way past midnight.

Uncle Jerry got out of the car and opened the trunk, "Leon, can you carry your stuff inside?" he asked,

"Yeah, I got it," Leon replied as he grabbed his luggage and backpack and walked into the house,

After Leon greeted his parents who were waiting for him to come home, he carried his luggage and backpack as he quietly placed them inside his room. Until he heard footsteps coming from the hallway. He peeked through the door and realized that his brother, Lucas, was there, wearing his pajamas and half asleep.

"Oh, hey bro," Lucas said, "I didn't know you'd come over after your long break,"

"Well, it can't be helped. I had to come home sooner or later," Leon said, "Now, go to bed,"

"Alright, I hear you," Lucas said rolling his eyes as he walked down the hallway towards his room,

Leon closed the door to his room and started unpacking his stuff. Then, he heard a knock on the door. Knock. Knock. He opened the door and saw his mom.

"If you're hungry, there are some leftovers in the fridge," his mom told him,

"Thanks, Mom," Leon said, "I'll eat it later,"

"Oh, okay," his mom said, "So, how was your stay with your uncle?"

"It was alright," Leon replied, "I had a fun time,"

"Okay," his mom said, "We're off to bed now. Good night, Leon,"

As soon as he saw his mom go to their room, Leon went downstairs and grabbed some food from the fridge and brought it back to his room for him to eat. He ate it all while fixing his stuff. By the time he was done, Leon changed his clothes and went straight to bed afterward. Not long after, he was fast asleep from the exhaustion.

He was about to have a nice dream but Leon dreamt of something else. A deep dark abyss was seen around him. A road emerged below him and he was standing on it. Confused, he looked ahead as a mirror appeared in front of him and he saw his reflection but the image switched to a dark figure with long hair and red eyes staring at him.

'Who are you?' Leon thought, but there was no response.

The dark figure moved in closer and was about to reach him but the dream faded in an instant as Leon woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! He lazily turned it off and slowly got up from the bed.

'That was weird,' Leon thought to himself but he just shrugged it off, 'Well, time to start the day,'

Later that day, Leon was seen in his classroom sitting on his seat staring through the window beside him while class was still going on. He couldn't stop thinking about what he saw in his dream.
