The Encounter part 1

  I: The Encounter

 I awoke feeling sluggish as usual, a single beam of sunlight shining in my eye. I had a strange feeling today was going to be bad quickly pushed the thought away.  I was determined to have a good day. I put on my clothes and I walked slowly into the kitchen to get some of Luke’s usual  breakfast but I was greeted with the worst sound I’ve ever heard, Luke’s singing. “OH  MY DARLING OH MY DARLING MORNING LIGHT!” He stopped and stared at me “Mornin’ sunshine, made some of my delicious pancakes for ya.” “I don't eat your pancakes.” I said, the awful smell of the slightly burnt pancakes wafting through the air.   Luke is my older brother who was adopted from another clan that outlawed him when he was ten, since then he’s lived with me and he’s come to think his food is good, which it is really not. Luke is not as dark toned as me but he’s got a tan. All the women in our village always wanted to date him because he is the nicest guy in  the village but they always ignored me. He may be the nicest guy in the village but he has a voice like a banshee. “Will you ever listen when I say something?” He said with a sigh. “You always zone-out when I’m talking to ya. Listen I’ve gotta go to the shop early so don’t go messing with the elders again, okay."

    “Yeah, just go before Mr.Claw kills you.” Mr.Claw was Luke’s boss at the metal shop. We called him that because he had a claw mark on his arm given to him by the hybrid snake warriors that killed the village dogs.  Once Luke left I went in the kitchen to clean his mess.

    As soon as I finished cleaning up the dishes and the surrounding area which was covered in pancake goop,After I was done I decided to go have some fun with the elders anyway. I started to the eastern portion of the village and ran directly into a large man with patchy red hair and a hunched back, he looked at least a thousand years old. The bag of bones grabbed my arm and said, "Come, Mark, Lord Six wishes everyone to come to the center of the village, especially you.” He licked his lips and led me there.

 A very large man wearing a gold cape with purple lines along the back stood on a mountain of his soldiers.  He cleared his throat and tapped the microphone its feedback caused me and everyone around me to cover their ears.“This village has a very important artifact that I want. It is called the moonblade.” Everyone in the village knows what it's called because legends say that it can only be pulled out of its stone sheath by one of a pure heart good or evil under the moonlight it just had to be pure . It was forged with nano chips inside to analyze the emotional state and neurological pathways of the brain and many other sensors which inspired the myth of it being 'magic'. Fortunately only Luke and I know how to get to it. A few years before, we sneaked into the temple and saw the moon-blade but had made sure no one could find their way to it again. “If you do not tell me how to get the moon-blade, this one dies!” Six snapped his fingers and two of his goons stepped up to the podium with Luke in their possession, just what I needed. “We will torture and kill him if someone doesn't tell me where to find the MOONBLADE!” People around me starting whispering saying, "Give the two kids up he won't kill all of us." "We could just tell him it broke." “I need the blond one he works for me." Mr. Claw said.  Of course the women said, “Save Luke, please save him!" "Enough!" I yelled, stepped up to the podium and said,” I’ll show you, but let my brother go!”  “Okay I”ll let him go, but first tell me where the moon-blade is.” The Warlord sneered.

    I stabbed my finger at him and replied, “Let him go first!” Six snapped his fingers once more and his goons let go of Luke who slumped to the floor. “Now, Boy show me where the moonblade is and if you can't get in- then this whole village will burn!” I flinched at that and briskly walked down the path leading to the temple when Six said, “Chain him.” two of his goons came and chained me to a tree. “Sorry kid, nothing personal just can’t have you getting away, just in case Six needs you.” said one of the guards. Six snapped his fingers and the goons put a bag over my head and there was nothing but darkness. I tried  struggling but some chemical inside the bag put me to sleep.

     When I woke up I heard someone crouch in front of me. “Okay kid listen nod if you're awake.” I nodded.  “Do you know where the guards are?” I nodded.  “Is anyone else with you?”  I nodded vigorously. “Okay okay is it a friend, a parent, a pet,...a brother?” I nodded once more. He then took the bag off of my head and instead of a person I saw something the vaguely resembled a cat. He was a Kyrulan. Kyrullans were cat-human hybrids created when they did those hybrid experiments back before Six outlawed technology. They weren't exactly the most social creatures. “Show me where they are.” I nodded, sort of confused and then he unchained me from the tree.
