The Foreseen Future becomes Reality
Glen's Room
Sakura was already inside Glen's room and had given both the medicene and his food to Katerina to give to him. "Sakura come here, don't worry, there's something I must ask you." Sakura became a tad nervous. Usually, whenever Glen gave that tone, she was in trouble or was told to go out patroling. "Sakura did something strange happen on the ship when Pirate Brandue attacked?" Sakura then remember the strange light and why it didn't effect her. Then she became worried that red light was connected to her vision that she recived from the Rune Shop owner.
"Sakura? The Commander asked you a question." Katerina's words snapped her back to reality. "Sir, Ma'am, I don't think I should tell you what I saw..." Glen then put his right hand on her shoulder. "Tell us at least why half of our knights are gone?" Sakura became more worried, a sudden pain came over her, was she scared, worried, or paincing? "I'm sorry!" Sakura bowed just before she ran out of Glen's room. Katerina wanted to go after her but Glen stopped her, "No, its offivous that she was effected greatly by it Katerina. Lets leave her be, for now." Katerina nodded at his request and when outside to guard the door. Glen then looked at his hidden left hand. He noticed that once he touched Sakura's shoulder, it glowed. "Is Sakura its true owner?"
Sakura ran down the fleet of stairs right into Kennth and Jewel. "Sakura? What is it?" Jewel then saw her tears, "Hey come on now. Lets go into town and get something to eat with Chiepoo. That will make you feel better?" Sakura merely nodded her head. Kennth and Jewel both practicly had to drag Sakura there, they could tell she was not herself. "Hello everyone!" A filmilar high voice rang out and Chiepoo appeared from behind a box. Jewel practicly fell into the sea with how shocked she was from Chiepoo, Kennth was slightly embarassed by that, but he noticed Sakura wasn't even phased.
Then suddenly Sakura jolted her head up and looked at the sea. Jewel saw her sudden movement, "What's wrong Sakura?" she followed Sakura's gaze and saw a huge fleet of pirates. "All knights! Report to the Hall for orders!" Sakura then ran back to the Hall with Kennth and Jewel close behind, Chiepoo ran the other way with the painicing crowd. Sakura, Kennth, and Jewel found Katerina at the entrance to the Hall, "Knights of Gaian get ready for battle! We mustn't allow these pirates to land on Razil!" "Yes Ma'am!" everyone responded from Katerina's words. "One last thing, I have an order from the Commander; Until further notice, no one is allowed into the Hall once the battle has started. That is his stirct order! Now GO!" Katerina order and all the knights went to the boats.
Sakura then thought for a minute, Glen would never leave a fight. Why is he stopping now? Moreover, why aren't they allowed back to the Hall? In her thought she didn't noticed a pirate was about to attack her until the last second, but this is Sakura. She took hold of her blade and stabbed him right in the stomach and he fell down. She then went into the crowd of pirates and knight's clashing swords at one another. Sakura could smell the stench of blood from both enemy and commeraded's bodies. She ran up to Jewel's back and took down a pirate that was about to get her, "Owe you!" was all Jewel had time to say before another pirate came up.
Sakura and all the other knights, that weren't bleeding to death, we're pinned back near the Hall. Sakura thought this was the end...
***
Glen could see his knights stuggling from the roof top. He then walked over to the balcony and looked at his left hand. 'Forgive me...but I must...!!' And he rasied his right hand, the filmilar red light came from it and the all too filmilar scream followed.
***
...Sakura, Jewel, Kennth, Katerina, and all the other knights looked up after hearing the loud scream. The pirates even looked up, the sky was turning gray. Not in a normal way either; the clouds formed quickly into storm clouds like a hurricane, just above the balcony of the Hall. Then Sakura reconized the red light as that rune! The only person in the Hall was, should she dare say it, Glen. The red light then fired a deadly light down at the pirate ships, just when the light fired its filmilar scream followed it as it hit every ship.
On one of these ships a portly pirate stood in terrior. He was small, dressed in a dirtied up white sleeveless shirt, green baggy pants, black eyes, tan skin, light brown hair, an axe at his side, and a green bandanna tied over the bald spot of his hair. This pirate couldn't believe what he was seeing, "Retreat!! Retreat at once!!" he squeled and his crew did it as fast as they could to get out of there. A few remaining ships followed.
Back on Razil, everyone watched as the remaining pirate ships sail away in the mist from that fire. A loud roar of thunder then when again and the rain came down. Tal stepped forward with his mouth still open, "Wh-what was that just now?" he stuttered. Katerina then spoke up, "Our priority is to heal the injured and remember not to go into the Hall!" Jewel, Tal, Kennth, Paula, and Katerina went away from Sakura to do what Katerina said. Sakura then stood in terrior about what she saw again, she had no choice, she had to see if Glen was ok. She took a quick look to make sure that everyone didn't notice her and ducked back inside the Hall.
Sakura then bolted to the open court where the door that led to where the Commander would be and opened it. She didn't know if it was shut or not and she didn't care that she was soaking wet, she had to see if Glen was ok. Sakura then opened up the door at the end of the hall and ran up one flight of stairs to Glen's room, "Sir! Commander!?" She came to realize he wasn't there and turned to find the other flight that went up to the roof, she bolted up the stairs not caring if someone was following or not to find Glen. Sakura then reached the entrance to the roof and there she saw Glen leaning against one of the ralings on the roof. Glen sensed her pressense and spoke up turning his head at her, "I said...for no one to come..." Glen was breatheless, Sakura then ran up to his side to check him. Once there Glen bent over because his left hand was glowing red, "Commander?" Sakura asked in a meek voice, like a child's voice.
Then the red light moved from Glen's hand to Sakura's left hand. The symbol of a circle with points at the top and bottom on her hand. Glen then collapsed to the ground and Sakura turned him over to face him up. "Commander!? What's going on!? Father!!?" Sakura shook Glen's cold and wet body, "You idiot...you will suffer the...same fate..." Glen said as his own body began to glow, Sakura didn't back away and she kept shaking his body. "FATHER!?" Sakura screamed in panic, "...be careful...Sakura...that's a curse...be careful...daugther......" Glen said no more, the glowing light stopped. Sakura stared at Glen and shook him again, "Father? Father!?" slowly Glen's body turned to ash and blew away with the wind and rain.
Sakura kneeled down onto the ground that Glen's body disappeared from, it was just like her dream only worse, she was right there and couldn't save Glen. The rain was lighting up a bit, but to Sakura it seemed more heavier. She didn't even look at her hand, Sakura was too engulfed with Glen dying in her hands. Cold tears came out of her eyes that stung from the rain. Sakura then felt pain over her body, mainly comming from her left side. Sakura couldn't take it anymore and fell down on the roof. "SAKURA!!!" she could hear someone screaming for her, but she was too tried, too much in pain. 'I'm sorry who ever you are, but I'm done. Its over, my father, Glen the Commander of the Razil Knights, is dead...' Those were her last thoughts as she hit the title of the roof, blacking out.
