“What happened back in Cylara Sam, you should have easily handled that guy. Usually when your eyes glow, you become stronger and quicker. You might want to work on that, the road to Greece is shortening up. It won’t be much longer now.”
“I don’t know what happened Lily, I just couldn’t... I don’t know. “
“Well, whatever problems you have, work them out. We’ll be in trouble if you can’t do.. Whatever it is you do.”
Greece wasn’t much far now, but the road ahead will be more dire and treacherous. I don’t like Greece, its filled with lunatics and mad men. I never enjoyed doing business here, I would help my employees fill out their destiny, then leave.
An abrupt shout came from behind the boy, “BROTHER!” A horribly disfigured man was following them, he was carrying a grey mace. “AHHH brother, its been too long. I haven’t seen you since you ran away, back in Okyra. You left me to be beheaded by The Hooded Man. I’ve come for vengeance, you don’t deserve to live after you left father and me.”
“James? I saw you die. How are you still alive,” Sam asked?
The boy was in shock, his mouth was as wide as the Desert of The Queen. He couldn’t believe that his once dead brother, is now alive.
“You see, once I died. The Hooded Man and The Creator brought me back to life, for one reason. Ya see, he’s not a bad man little brother. You can’t listen to everything you here or see. He convinced me that killing father was a necessity, he was a nuisance. “
“You’re wrong, that man has killed our friends and family, he even took our home. How is that the right thing to do?”
“Oh, you’re so blind brother. The world is a much darker place than it seems. The Hooded Man was kind of enough to show me everything. He told me, how you and my brothers ran from the courtyard that day. You turned your back on your family and your home. Nobody is to blame but you. When he told me this, there was so much Rage building inside of me, I had to release it. You caused this, but I will end it. Samwell of Okyra, the great Dragon Prince. Yes, I have known of this all along. Your father didn’t want you, so he gave him to King Charles. You’re still a bastard child, with your nasty whore mom. So today, you will calm my Rage with death. Are you ready to die brother, haha, that was a trick question. No one is ready.”
The disfigured man came closer to Sam and Liliana, the mace slightly converging on their location.
“Oh, you’re mistaken James. You have let this Rage build inside of you for two long. It has festered into something completely different.”
“Shut UP! You don’t understand what I’ve been through. I was in the Afterlife, stranded there. I would have been there alone if Lazarius hadn’t brought me back. Now your time has come.”
The deranged man grasped his mace and swung it at Sam, only just missing him. The boy didn’t even wield his sword, he just dodged every move James made. Sam was faster than James. The brute strength of the disfigured man was great, but he was blinded by anger. Each potentially paralyzing blow the man dealt out missed Sam completely, the boy was just too fast. Sam only attacked once, and that was all the boy needed. You see, he wasn’t the most aggressive of fighters, but he could outsmart you.
Sam thrusted his sword into the gut of James, sending him to the ground.
“Finally Sam, you have attacked me. You have rage in your heart just like me. Why do you think your eyes glow a burning white. I have followed you for miles, and have learned your ways. You can’t kill me Sam, until you fully embrace the growing rage in your heart. We will meet again...”
The wounded man began to walk in the opposite direction, slowly leaving my sight. “Sam, why didn’t you continue to fight him,” Liliana asked.
“He said its not time yet, and I think he’s right. Well, lets keep going, Greece is only a short ways away.”
