Ah good day unto you dear reader, good day....
Tis a joyous morning truly...
Hmmm?
You find it quite cold?
Why...
You really should consider moving...
Hmmm?
I see...
Why...
I had not realised you had such a complicated upbringing...
Yes...
Tis a strange one you live in...
Yes...
Hmmm?
I?
Move?
Why...
Tis impossoble for me at the moment...
Hmmm?
Oh no no no...
You need not worry...
I find myself quite happy where I am now...
Hmmm?
Where am I?
Why...
Twould take far too much time to get to...
Truly, I say unto you dear reader, truly...
Well, I do suppose I should be getting along...
Hmmm?
The teaser?
Why...
Twill be quite a while...
However...
Do be warned...
Tis my best work yet...
Yes...
Fear not, dear reader, fear not...
I shall not fail to entertain you...
Yes...
Now then...
Moving along...
Yes...
Jason Hessenger's arm...
Indeed...
Struck through with a mere arrow...
Yes...
Twas a strange thing truly...
Yes...
For an invisible man to have been hit with such an arrow...
Why...
I do suppose a tad bit of explanation is required...
Yes...
For...
Sir Alyton did indeed perform the incredible...
Indeed...
For it was he and he alone...
That...
Yes...
Hit an invisible man...
Truly...
A strange thing to occur...
For who can hit what one can not see...
Why...
Twas Sir Alyton's own mental prowess, one may say...
However...
Yes...
As one would say...
Perhaps a mere few minutes earlier...
Yes...
Alyton: (thinking: My heart...)
Yes...
Sir Alyton did indeed speak to his heart...
Yes...
And of that, did he in fact get an answer...
Yes...
Twas a strange thing really..
Why...
One may even refer to it as a...
Yes...
Indeed...
A gut feeling...
Yes...
A truly remarkable statement...
For Sir Alyton had nought had it not been for it....
Yes...
Twas a strange thing to him truly...
For Sir Alyton did indeed watch his prey with an unerring lens...
Yes...
Twas his eyes and his eyes alone that did indeed meet those of the Hessenger...
And so, one may ask...
How so?
Why...
Twas a peculiar thing really...
Why...
Even he was not quite certain...
Yes...
For he and he alone...
Even so amongst his brothers...
Yes...
He chose not to trust his wit...
Nay...
But his heart...
And of that...
He was rewarded...
However...
Stolen novel; please report.
How it was so...
Why...
Twas a strange thing for him truly...
For a voice...
Yes...
Twas as gentle as a voice...
Nay...
Even gentler than wind...
Yes...
Even gentler than the touch of a fair maiden...
Yes...
Twas a mere voice...
Indeed...
One that merely mad him turn his head...
Yes...
Twas a...
Why...
A gut feeling yes...
A mere nudging of his very body...
Yes...
Twas merely as such...
Indeed...
For he had not much to tell really...
For it was..
Yes..
Merely a voice...
As for what it said...
Indeed...
As it merely directed his eyes to turn...
Yes...
And of that did he...
Indeed...
Without so much as a thought...
Yes...
Suddenly notice a peculiar shadow...
Yes...
Twas a strange one really...
Why...
He had never seen the like...
As of it...
He could not see from whence it came...
Yes...
Twas unordinarly truly...
And of that, did he...
Indeed...
He saw it...
Yes...
The voice struck through once more...
For...
Was it a shadow that could not be traced to its origin...
Why...
Could only be one thing...
Indeed...
And of that...
Yes...
Did Sir Alyton soon find his quarry...
Yes...
As for the arrow...
Indeed...
It did indeed fire even so through the thrown blade...
Yes...
Deflecting it...
And of his own life...
Indeed...
Saving it...
Surely I say unto you dear reader, surely...
This man would have learned from this...
Yes...
To trust his gut feeling...
Yes...
To trust it...
To the death...
For this future telling voice...
Yes...
Truly...
Twas on his side...
That much may one have said...
Indeed...
For he did indeed narrowly escape...
Yes...
Merely for he chose to listen...
As for the battle...
Why...
Jason Hessenger did return to his visible form...
As for Sir Alyton and the others...
Alyton: I have found him!
Yes...
Twas a great thing truly...
For he had found his quarry finally...
Nay...
For they had all found their quarry, finally...
And of that...
Indeed...
Wasted not a knight a moment...
Yes...
For they all, indeed, they all...
Knights: Sir!
Loosed arrow upon arrow onto Jason Hessenger...
Yes...
However....
Twas not all that the shinobi had behind his arms..
Yes...
For...
With his very arm....
Jason: Incantation! Burning wall!
Yes...
He still had a fire inside his heart...
Yes...
As for the incantatiuon...
It did indeed form a massive wall of fire...
Yes...
One of flames viciously turning over and under...
A peculiar spell, I must say...
So much so for the very flames turned over and under...
Yes...
Grinding all that met it...
Indeed...
To ashes...
Indeed...
For even arrows that may pierce through boulders...
Yes...
Even they...
Were stopped cold by this wall...
Tis quite funny, yes?
Well...
I do suppose I shall continue...
Moving along...
Alyton: Tch....
Yes...
Twas the perfect cover...
For now even Jason's very appearance was blocked by the wall...
Yes...
And of that...
Indeed...
Seeing as he now had his way...
Yes...
He did indeed flee...
Yes...
As a very rodent did he...
For...
Jason: (thinking: How... how be it... that...?)
Indeed...
Twas a mystery to him...
For this man...
Yes...
This very man...
Sir Alyton Herdshire...
Had indeed done the impossible...
Yes...
To see a man who cannot be seen...
Yes...
For...
How so was it...
Truly, I say unto you dear reader, truly...
Twas not simply Jason that asked of this...
Nay...
For even the very knights...
Indeed...
For even they...
Yes...
Twas a mystery to them...
However, twas not the foremost query upon their minds...
Yes...
For...
Indeed...
The words had been said...
Yes...
Incantation...
Those words...
Truly, I say unto you dear reader, truly...
Tis not an unknown thing that those are the words..
Not of a shinobi...
Nay...
But of a wizard...
Yes...
And of that...
Indeed...
And even of Sir Alyton's miraculous actions...
Yes...
They all were perplexed...
Howveer, even then...
Twas not the foremost thing upon their hearts...
Yes...
For...
Indeed...
Tis a thing that is of bereaved...
And of those hunting one who aims to murder their own...
Yes...
They who defend their homes...
Indeed...
For their foremost thought...
Truly...
Hmmm?
You can imagine?
Absolutely dear reader, absolutely...
Yes...
Twas...
Why...
I do not believe rage is quite the word for it...
Hmmm?
Determination?
Hmmm?
Why...
It does fit the word better...
But...
Nay...
I do apologise dear reader...
Tis simply not the answer...
Well, I do suppose it matters little...
For...
Yes...
They did indeed...
With all their might...
Yes...
Like men upon a thief...
Nay...
Like wolves upon a sheep...
Nay...
As only this...
Men of purpose...
Yes...
Against their very foe...
Indeed...
For Sir Alyton needed not say even a word...
Yes...
Why..
They only gave him but a mere look before..
Indeed...
Florian: Give chase!
Yes...
However...
His words were not necessary...
Yes...
Neither those of Sir Alyton...
For...
Indeed...
These men were warriors...
And of that...
Yes...
They all...
Even SIr Alyton himself..
Yes...
They all did indeed give chase...
And of that,
Yes...
They all jumped from building upon building...
Yes...
One man after the other...
Indeed...
All jumping from rooftop to rooftop...
As for Jason Hessenger...
Yes...
He and he alone...
Yes...
Running from his predator...
Yes...
For he heard the very footsteps behind him...
Indeed...
Thise of the knights soon to reach him...
Yes...
However...
Jason: (thinking: How be it so...? How...?)
Yes...
Twas still a fresh memory in his heart...
For, indeed...
Sir Alyton had done the impossible...
Yes...
For he had seen a man invisible...
Indeed...
Twas a strange thing truly...
Yes...
For what man could a man say could do what he had done..
Yes..
Even more...
What man could the man by the name of Jason Hessenger say could avoid his trickery..
Why...
Of that dear reader, few...
Yes...
Very few..
Moving along...
He did indeed take the arrow from his arm even as he ran..
Yes...
As for the knights...
Florian: Sir Alyton...
Alyton: Sir...
Twas but a brief moment, really...
Yes...
All of them...
From the greatest to even the least of them..
Yes...
All of them...
In their very hearts...
Twas simply a statement...
Yes...
For now these brothers trusted this man...
Nay...
They put their trust in this man...
And of that...
Yes...
They simply had to let him know...
Hmmm?
Without a word?
Why...
I must say...
That is something that only a brother would understand...
Yes...
Only a brother in arms..
For...
They had learned...
Yes...
Learned to trust in his mettle...
The mettle of Sir Alyton...
And... his heart...
As of this...
Yes...
The chase did indeed continue...
For...
Why...
I do suppose not very long...
As the very knights did soon begin to fire arrows at their foe...
Yes...
Even whilst jumping...
And the arrows did indeed fly to the ground...
Yes...
With a speed and power great enough to tear through...
Indeed...
Even rock...
However...
Twas only a moment later...
Yes...
That Jason Hessenger did indeed dodge these arrows...
Yes...
Was quite the scene really...
Jason Hessenger was quite the acrobat...
Indeed...
For with many a dive and a manouvre did he dodge them...
Yes...
All before running behind a building..
However...
The knights did not halt...
Nay...
For as...
Yes....
Hungry wolves...
Indeed...
They did chase of their prey...
Without abandon...
Yes...
As for Jason...
Why...
An arrow wound...
And even the snippet cut from Sir Dwight...
Yes...
Truly...
Twas a strange position...
Yes...
The man who was on top...
Yes...
Was now on the bottom...
Indeed dear reader, indeed...
Never before forget...
Battle...
During such...
May any occur...
Yes...
May anything occur...
Yes...
He did indeed find himself in a desperate position...
Yes...
Wounded...
Bloody...
And being pursued...
Yes...
Being the quarry...
Of the enemy...
Yes...
All the while in enemy territory...
Indeed...
Tis an unsightly state
Yes...
Do be wary, dear reader...
Truly, I say unto you dear reader, truly...
Do be wary in battle..
Yes...
For in such a state...
Yes...
Do be wary...
Of your enemy's territory...
Yes...
Tis a straneg place to be in...
Indeed...
And much, I say unto you, much....
Can go very wrong...
Yes...
Well, I do suppose I shall continue...
Yes...
As the knights did approach, yes...
Did Jason Hessenger indeed count his odds...
Yes...
Wounded...
Bleeding...
Chased by many a knight...
Yes...
Even with that...
Indeed...
Was one knight far more dangerous than the others...
Yes...
Sir Alyton...
The dark horse he was...
Yes...
Tis a strange thing in battle...
Yes...
Why...
When and if you do partake in battle...
Do be wary...
Yes...
Tis a common thing yet uncommon...
Yes...
The dark horses...
Do be wary of them...
Yes...
For the enemy always seems to have one...
Well, I do suppose that you yourself may have one by your side...
Yes...
Tis a good thing truly...
For they may indeed do the very last thing...
Yes...
The very last thing one may expect...
Yes...
Truly...
Hmmm?
I know much of battle?
Why...
Tis a long list of tales indeed...
Twould bore you, truly...
Hmmm?
Only one tale?
Why...
I do apologise dear reader...
Twould take far too much time to speak of it...
Yes...
And...
Twould be a disservice to rush it truly..
Hmmm?
Of course, dear reader, of course...
Tis already being furnished in my mind...
Yes...
Twill be a great tale, my dear child...
Yes...
Truly...
Hmmm?
Nay...
Shall never be better than the tale of the boy by the name of Jake Phyr...
Truly...
Tis an incredible tale...
Yes...
Why...
Hmmm?
Oh dear...
I do believe I have already overspoken...
Tis my fault really..
I do simply enjoy speaking...
And telling stories thereof...
Yes...
Well...
I do suppose I should get going...
Tis truly a shame, dear reader...
Hmmm?
Yes, of course...
Truly, a shame...
Twould seem that even so,
Yes...
Even so...
I shall have forgotten to speak of the teaser...
Yes...
Well...
Tis my blame...
However...
Worry not...
I shall prepare it for the next chapter...
Yes...
Tis a promise, really...
Hmmm?
Oh yes...
I do suppose I shall try a teaser for the next chaper...
Yes...
Ahem...
A battle of flames and blood istelf...
Yes...
With...
Indeed...
A man who speaks an oath...
Yes...
A very ode...
To honour...
Yes...
Such is what is to come...
Yes...
Well, good day to you dear reader...
Yes...
Good day indeed...
And do take care...
Yes...
Tis a strange thing...
The human life...
Twould do you well to be wary...
Yes...
Till the next time, dear reader...
Till the next time..
