Ohohoho!
A good morning unto you, dear reader...
A good morning indeed...
Tis yet another sunny morn, I would imagine...
Hmmm?
Incredible cold?
The clouds, you say...
Why...
Tis to my pity to hear such from you...
Dear reader...
My...
Twas of my own mind...
That the very storms were fully done and dealt with...
Truly, I say unto you dear reader...
Truly...
It brings me no joy to hear that...
Do find yourself covered...
And of it...
Worry not...
The cold shall soon find itself off of you...
And of the very shining sun...
Why...
It shan't be long before the very ball of fire...
Brings its rays upon the earth...
That you may frolic upon them...
Yes...
And thereof...
Do keep warm...
It does humans terribly to remain in the dark and cold, I would say...
Indeed...
Now then...
I suppose...
Why...
Tis as once it was snowing...
Indeed...
I shall continue the tale...
Yes...
And of it...
Why...
I suppose I shall need something of a...
How you say...
Image...
Of what is to come...
Indeed...
And of it...
Why...
May I begin with the very end of our previous chapter...
Yes...
Twas that very moment...
Indeed...
Even so...
As the blade of the boy by the name of Jake Phyr...
Had made quick work of that of Jon Hessenger...
Indeed...
Twas then...
Even so...
As the very Knights lept upon the buildings...
The Knights who mere moments ago found themselves by the side of Sir Geldman Morrow...
Indeed...
Even so as they turned to their quarry...
The very man by the name of Vance Hessenger...
The very...
Dark horse, if you will...
Yes...
Twas the very danger that this man exuded...
Indeed...
A blade far sharper than he once appeared to be...
Indeed...
And of it...
Why...
Twas a strange thing, one would say...
For...
Even and so...
As his very body was turned to them...
Even and so...
As the three Knights were up at arms to face him in battle...
Indeed...
Was the very man...
With his face turned...
Away from the very ones who desired his death...
Why...
Tis a strange thing, one would say...
I suppose...
Twould be easiest to explain...
As though a hungry dog...
To see the young one of its prey...
Lay itself bare...
Upon the very ground...
Prepared to be eaten...
Yes...
For...
Truly, I say dear reader...
Truly...
Tis foolish...
Nay...
Tis only for the foolish...
To fall prey...
To such foolishness...
Indeed...
Tis only for the foolish...
Hmmm?
Yes...
Indeed...
Far fetched...
Yes...
For...
The very warriors had every opportunity...
To charge at the man and strike him...
Yes...
For...
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
They were merely a second away...
Yes...
A mere...
Several metres from them all...
Hmmm...
Ohohoho...
Know ye not, dear reader?
For...
Twould take a mere second...
For a Knight to bound that distance...
Yes...
For the Knight to bound to that man...
The man by the name of Vance Hessenger...
And to murder him...
However...
Why...
I suppose one may call it a strange flaw...
Yes...
The strange flaw of intelligence...
For...
Indeed...
Had they been far less reasonable...
Why...
The very ones who sought his life...
May have failed to question the very reality that then and there...
Faced them...
Indeed...
For...
The very Knights did indeed turn...
Yes...
Even so...
For...
Twas a shinobi...
And of one...
Must I say...
Does a man wisely...
To think twice...
Before he acts...
Yes...
Twas a wise decision...
Indeed...
For...
Twas one born of experience and great teaching...
The very same could be said for the enduring...
Of their desire to merely murder him...
Yes...
However...
Why...
Twas of this very moment...
Dear reader...
May I say...
Well...
I suppose the very mass of what needs to be elucidated...
Indeed...
Twould be best...
To merely...
Take my time...
Yes...
Speaking of...
Did the very men...
Even so in their wisdom...
Miss the opportunity...
To lay claim to his life...
Indeed...
For...
Their foe failed to be wary of what was to occur...
Why...
His very eyes were taken aback by the sight that lay before him...
For...
Indeed...
Even as his very body was still afar off...
Even as his blade was full and ready to do battle with the other Knights...
Why...
Did his very eyes bear witness to the young lad...
And of him...
Why...
Did he run towards them...
Without so much as a meandre or even and so as a turn...
All along a straight line along a path...
Indeed...
Did the young warrior run along...
With single-minded...
Well...
Tis a tale in and of itself really...
Yes...
However...
Worry not...
Yes...
All shall be explained...
In the finest of times...
Yes...
Now then...
If I may...
Ahem...
Even and so...
As he found himself upon this single path...
Racing there upon...
And of that...
Why...
Tis the boy by the name of Jake Phyr that I do refer to...
Did the Knights even as well...
Having seen his very turn...
Turn also...
And thereof...
Indeed...
Did they also...
See the very lad...
And of it all...
Knights: Sir Jake?!
Did their minds partake in the very meal...
That is murmur and surprise...
For...
Truly, I say...
Was his appearance here a shocking...
But also...
Calming thing, I would say...
Hmmm?
Why...
I suppose I may say...
Twas merely for...
The very Knights...
Even and so unto this difficult battle...
Why...
Twould be hard to blame them...
For the joy in their hearts...
At the arrival of a face... they could trust...
However...
Why...
Even and so...
Does much upon the very idea...
Remain to elucidate...
Yes...
And thereof...
May I soon turn...
To the very eyes...
Of the man by the name of Vance Hessenger...
For...
Indeed...
Twas in his mind that many a thought did occur...
Why...
I suppose one may refer to it as the very depth of his wisdom...
Nay...
Even so...
His will...
For...
Should I say...
Compared to the very several of the Hessengers...
Why...
Did he find himself by many a leap and bound...
The strongest...
Not merely in spell casting or physical wit...
But also...
In experience and of that...
Intellect of the very things in battle...
And thereof...
Vance: (thinking: This one... is strong...)
Indeed...
Had his very eyes and mind quite soon come to the very understanding...
Yes...
For...
Twas of the mind of a man...
Of many a battle...
Of a man...
Of many a scuffle...
And many a survival...
And thereof...
Why...
Twas the very understanding of the strong...
For...
Why...
Twould suffice to say...
That the very hurling of a single sword...
With strength enough to fly to such a speed...
Why...
Twas no fully difficult feat...
Yes...
Twas something many a Knight, however, not every...
Could achieve...
However...
Indeed...
To take aim...
And to hurl it thereof...
With such accuracy...
So as to deflect a blow sent by his younger...
Why...
Even so...
Was his younger of no ability to strike...
For...
Indeed...
The very shinobi-wizard was in sheer awe of the very feat...
That the very Knight had now and then come to the full realisation of...
Yes...
To strike with such accuracy...
Even so...
At such a distance...
Why...
The very many of them...
The Knights...
Even so...
The shinobi-wizards...
Why...
Even Sir Geldman Morrow...
Found themselves in awe of the very occurence...
Indeed...
Even Sir Geldman Morrow...
Who...
Geldman: What... (thinking: What is it... that has saved me? Who saved me?)
For he merely saw a blade fly above his person...
And of that...
Did he slowly begin to turn his head...
Even so...
His body...
All the while...
His very eyes...
Fixiated...
On the very shinobi wizards...
Whose very eyes...
Were now fixiated upon something...
Something racing towards them...
So as his very ears could hear...
And of it all...
Why...
Twas fully obvious...
Even as his eyes rose above...
And bore witness...
To the sword now firmly stuck upon the wall of the building...
Upon which the brothers Hessenger stood...
Twas fully known to him...
Twas...
Geldman: (thinking: A Knight...)
Indeed...
And thereof...
Did joy fully enter his heart...
And of the fear and cowardice within him...
Even so, within his brothers...
Indeed...
Did he in his very heart rejoice...
Yes...
Twas a jolly song in his heart, I would say...
However...
Twas not the very end of things...
For...
Indeed...
Did the man by the name of Vance Hessenger...
Why...
I suppose...
Twas something along the lines...
Of a wisdom known by a few...
For...
Indeed...
Twas something fully known unto Vance Hessenger...
Why...
Be it as and because of mere knowledge...
Or...
Even so..
Of sheer talent and intuition...
Indeed...
Did the shinobi-wizard...
Fully understand this strange thing...
Yes...
That the very warrior who approached them...
Was dangerous...
Indeed...
Twas a strange feeling, one may say...
For...
Even and so as his abilities spoke of his great strength...
Indeed...
Could Vance Hessenger feel it...
Vance: (thinking: This one...)
However...
Even of...
Even as his younger as well bore his eyes unto the very warrior's body...
Why...
Twould be easiest to say...
Vance: (thinking: And he is...?)
Indeed...
Twas the very age of the young man...
Well...
Tis of many a thing, I would say...
For...
Even as a warrior may do battle...
Why...
Does it not fail upon him...
Even unto such an unpredictable livelihood...
To form something of a...
How you say...
Belief...
Hmmm...
Nay...
Twould perhaps be better to merely elucidate the very matter...
For...
Even as the very pair of shinobi...
Were not among those to shy away from taking a life...
Why...
Vance: (thinking: A mere child...)
Yes...
Twas no mere thing to simply see...
In the very brutalities of battle...
A young man...
Nay...
Even so...
One much younger than necessary...
Indeed...
And of it...
Why...
Did Jake Phyr merely continue his dash towards them...
The very pair of Hessengers...
Stunned...
Almost over and over...
By every new revelation of this young man...
For...
Indeed...
His very being...
Yes...
A young man...
Indeed...
A boy, even...
Whose skills were so great as to perform such a feat...
Indeed...
Twas of the very shinobi-wizards...
Jon: (thinking: One... so... young...)
Vance: (thinking: I see...)
Yes...
Was the very pair fully confounded by the very young man...
And of that...
Why...
Do remember, dear reader...
For...
Indeed...
Tis foolish to merely...
Dilly dally...
Among those of battle...
For...
Indeed...
Did the very pair merely remain in place...
Ever so long enough...
That the boy by the name of Jake Phyr...
Was soon to approach the very pair...
Yes...
Why...
He was merely a bound or so away...
Hmmm...
Nay....
Perhaps two...
That...
Geldman: (thinking: Sir Jake?)
Indeed...
Did the very Knight find himself turning to the Knight who had come to his rescue...
And thereof...
Did his heart silently joy...
But of his face...
Why...
Did a tint of worry...
Grow...
Yes...
And of that...
Why...
Twould be best to get along with that later...
Yes...
Hmmm?
Oh, worry not...
I shall perform all the very many of them...
Yes...
Do fail to worry, dear reader...
Indeed...
Do fail to worry...
Yes...
Ahem...
Now then...
Twas a very many things that did occur...
Even as Sir Jake did finally find himself to the shinobi...
Did his eyes cross those...
Of the man by the name of Vance Hessenger...
And thereof...
Vance: (thinking: This child...)
Indeed...
Did the very young man find his eyes in full view of the very thing...
Upon the eyes of the boy...
By the name of Jake Phyr...
And thereof...
Why...
Did Vance Hessenger fully understand...
That his opponent...
Why...
Twould be best to merely leave it for later, dear reader...
Hmmm?
Why...
Twould be foolish...
Hmmm?
Oh, no, no, no...
Twould never do me to merely hide things from you...
Hmmm?
Why...
Tis as I said...
Twould take many a chapter to fully explain it all...
Indeed...
However...
Worry not...
It shall soon come to pass...
That my explanation of it all shall come...
Yes...
Indeed...
Now then...
Moving along...
Twould be best to say what was to happen next...
For...
Indeed...
Did Jake Phyr's eyes fail to leave that of his foes...
And of the Knights...
Why...
Did the very three of them exchange glances...
Before rushing to the side of their allies...
Yes...
To the side of Jake Phyr...
And of that...
To pull up Sir Geldman Morrow...
Yes...
One by one...
With the very goal...
Of protecting the ideals...
Of Vesturia...
Knight: Sir Jake...
Name: Marsh Boaters
Age: 29
Description: Muscular man, with a beard mightier than many
Occupation: Knight, gate guard, city patrol, rank C
Weapon of choice: Halberd
Threat level: C
Fact: He and his family are quite the wealthy fish farmers, may I say.
Indeed...
Did the very Sir Marsh Boaters...
Find himself speaking to the lad...
And of the lad...
Why...
Did his face fail to move even so from a moment...
Even as a man...
Near twice his age...
Was to speak to him...
And of it...
Of course...
Was the very man not in the least perturbed...
For...
Indeed...
Tis a wise thing, dear reader...
Do fail to believe...
That an enemy simply ceases to be so...
When and so it suits you...
Yes...
Twould be wise to make rememberance of that...
Indeed...
Twould be wise...
And thereof...
Indeed...
Did Vance Hessenger...
Merely continue to look upn the lad as well...
Even so...
As his younger looked upon him...
Wondering...
As to what it was really...
That did run... amok...
Upon his older's mind...
Yes...
Twas a curious thing, really...
For...
Indeed...
Twas nary a thing in the mind of the younger...
That could take his older's attention...
As the very look of this young man...
In the meanwhile...
Did one Knight hastily grab Sir Geldman Morrow...
Pulling him up...
Quickly...
And however so...
Gently...
Even so...
Did the third of the Knights...
Turn back towards the shinobi...
His back turned to his allies...
Well ready to strike...
Should the shinobi try something...
Yes...
Twas their moment to turn the very tide of battle to their favour...
For...
Indeed...
Was the great power of...
The Red Fang Of Vesturia...
Not unknown to any one of the three of them...
Yes...
However...
Do say...
Dear reader...
Do you remember...
The very rule...
Regarding Jake Phyr and shinobi?
Why...
Of course, you do...
Yes...
And thereof...
Why...
Did anxious and worried faces...
Remain along the very countenances...
Of the Knights...
For...
Indeed...
Their very lives were saved...
However...
Marsh: I would like to thank you for your saving us, Sir Jake.
The young lad did not answer.
Marsh: Even so, may I make a request of you.
Indeed...
Even so...
Yet not another answer...
Marsh: That you make quick work of the enemy. And that you slaughter them without recompense.
Indeed...
Twas his very plan...
For...
Dare I say...
Should their lives end quickly...
Why...
Should Jake Phyr then end them both...
Before either has even so much as a chance...
To explain themselves...
Therefore, fully protecting their secret...
Hmmm?
Why...
Indeed...
Does the very reputation of the Red Fang find itself so...
That the very ending of both their lives...
Even so, a quick one...
Was not an impossibility amongst their very hearts...
Yes...
Twas as simple as that...
And...
Hmmm?
Oh dear...
Out of time already?
Why...
Twould be a shame to merely leave things as so...
Even of...
Are we ever so close to the point fore-teased...
Yes...
And thereof...
Should I say...
Indeed...
Tis my fault...
And of it...
Why...
I may merely summarise it...
It shan't take very long...
Yes...
Now then...
Should you need a break...
Do feel free...
Yes...
****
Twas as the very Knights were about Jake...
That the man by the name of Vance Hessenger...
Took quick note of a thing...
Yes...
A truly terrifying thing, I may say...
Dear reader...
Know ye of knowledge?
Why...
Of course, dear reader...
Indeed...
And of it, dare I say...
Is it not always as simple...
As merely sitting back...
And making merry...
To the things one knows...
For...
Indeed...
Does knowledge, at times...
Allow a man to know things...
That he may rather have not...
And thereof...
Why...
Was Vance Hessenger not repentant...
Nay...
For his very eyes bore witness...
To the eyes of the boy by the name of Jake Phyr...
And thereof...
Why...
Did it fully occur to him...
Vance: (thinking: This child... shall be a hindrance. Nay... a problem...)
Indeed...
The very look of his eyes...
And of it...
Why...
Did he fully understand...
And also fully decide...
To murder the child...
Yes...
Even so...
Readying his blade...
A gesture...
Which even his younger soon followed...
Indeed...
And as for the other Knights...
Marsh: Come now, we mustn't tarry...
Indeed...
Did they soon maintain their distance...
Leaving the very battle...
To the boy by the name of Jake Phyr...
Well...
I suppose I may halt myself there...
Yes...
It has been quite a while, I must say...
Why...
I suppose this extra part is not as long as oer usual...
However...
I merely meant to take your time seriously...
Yes...
Do respect yourself, dear reader...
Tis of no man...
Or woman...
To be treated with disrespect...
Even so, of children...
Yes...
Do be respected, dear reader...
Do be respected indeed...
