Tragic Fairytale

Ch.4 "Village Sukowa"

As the two passed a creek Orion was stumped to see the village. When the horse came through nice red rose bushes Orion was broken from what he saw. "This is where you live?" Megatron nodded and directed the horse down the ramp. "Sad place isn't it." Orion covered his mouth and looked around. "I'm so sorry." Megatron sighed and kept walking. The horse stopped and Megatron looked around. "We're here. I'll help you down." Megatron slid himself down from the horse and walked over to grab Orion down from the horse. He groaned as he tensed his body holding Orion's weight. "My friend, Dr&k3 will check you out." Orion walked up the poor stairs and moved the vines out of the way. There inside a tree hut was a bunch of sick looking people.

Orion walked closer to Megatron fearing they'd try to hurt him. "Dr&k3 I got a patient for you." A navy blue mech stepped down from a step and walked up. "Who is this young mech, Sir?" Megatron looked down at Orion. "His name is Orion. He was attacked on the front line by Corrido's boys. Dr&k3 nodded and checked Orion's legs. "You just need a little rest is all. Right this way." Orion followed the mech to the open bed that was ground level. There was one above it. Orion looked at all the people who where coughing, starving, and dying. It was sad to have seen such beautiful forest and meet a handsome mech and yet find out that this is where their living.

Megatron sat on the step near Orion's bed. "Are these things safe?" Megatron looked up and chuckled. "Yes. Kings boy they're safe." Orion climbed into the bed and he settled down. Megatron looked out as he heard a bird screech. "Hey Mega?" Orion's soothing voice came through. The mech looked back setting his hat on his lap. "How long have you been here?" Megatron sighed and looked around. He had to think about that. "Before King Onimus took the throne." Orion sat up and leaned over setting his hand on Megatron's shoulder. "I-I'm really sorry." Megatron nodded and stood up putting his hat on. "I'm going to go retrieve that bear and bring it back. You rest."

When Megatron left Orion got up and decided to stroll around the poor village. The young sparklings who ran around were sick, diseased, and had many things wrong with them. A young femme walked up to him. Orion stopped and looked down at the young femme. "Hey little femme. What's you're name?" The femme tilted her head and looked at Orion. The prince sighed and pushed his hand out, "Never mind." He crossed his arms and walked around seeing that there was nothing to this village. His heart was truly broken to see this poor side of the forest. The village people started to come out of their huts and gather. At first Orion was confused but then he looked over and saw Megatron on his horse with the bear tied onto the saddle.

The village members helped carry the bear to the butcher and they helped clean off the meat from it's bones and get fire ready. Orion stood back and watched the villagers work together. Megatron sighed and stood beside Orion and watched them enjoy their food. "Do you want any?" Orion shook his head and backed off. "Oh no. I'm not much of a meat eater and I ate awhile ago." Megatron put his arm around Orion and looked down at him. "You did well today. You killed a bear and saved a life." Orion chuckled and laid his head on Megatron's torso. The village friends and family gathered around with their food and listened to the old chief tell a story.
