I Told You Part 2 Was Coming Soon
“Tayaku? Why do you want to find him?”
“Just some business that I have to take care of while in town.”
“What would you want with a guy like him?”
“And what kind of guy is he?”
“You don’t know?”
“Never met the guy.”
Seria was puzzled. He doesn’t know about Tayaku? Does he even know about how strong he is? She had to ask. “If you don’t know him, why do you need to meet him?”
“He has information that I’m looking for, that is all.”
She smirked. “Well, he and his own little gang are outside the town. They only come to town to bully all the storeowners for supplies. It’s rumored that he’s building an army.”
Niko whispered under his breath, “That’s not his army he’s building.”
“What was that?” Seria asked about what Niko said.
Niko scratched the back of his head and smiled “Oh nothing. Just thinking aloud.”
“Well, I wouldn’t go talk to him. He’ll probably notice your sword and try to get you to join. You not going to join, are you?”
“No way. I just need to ask him some questions.”
“Well, he’ll probably kill you then if you don’t accept his offer. Either that or he’ll kill you just for questioning him or even looking at him. I hear he’s got a real bad temper.” Seria thought for a second. “You can’t go. You may know how to use that sword, but you’ll be outnumbered, and he’s a very skilled fighter. It’s rumored that he was trained by an insanely powerful demon.”
“What kind?” Niko asked.
“What kind?” Seria replied not knowing how to answer. “Kind of demon? I know some demons are different, but aren’t they all just demons?”
“Well, demons come in all different shapes and forms. Some are like animals, some are like humans, and some are like nothing anyone has ever seen. All in all, demons are classified by the element they are affiliated with. There are fire demons, water demons, lightning demons, wind demons, and earth demons like those from last night. They have plant characteristics, such as the pine needle fur and the vines, all of which makes them a type of earth demon”
“Are they just called earth demons?”
“No. They probably have a demon name. However, I’ve never seen those kind before, and they didn’t say the name either.”
Seria wondered. How does he know so much? Is the info he wants from Tayaku more demon info? And what does he mean “they didn’t say the name?” They don’t speak, do they?
“Well, I can take you out of town to their place, but I won’t go further. Tayaku doesn’t like trespassers, and I prefer breathing.”
“Very well. I wouldn’t want you to go any further anyway. As you have described, it’s going to be dangerous. I sure you’ve had your fill of life-threatening situations for this week.”
“Yes I have.” So, Niko followed Seria out of town to a fort surrounded by a towering log fence over twenty feet high. They stood at the large gate. Someone poked his head over the gate from a catwalk on the other side of the fence.
“What do you two want?” yelled the man who was dressed in brown protective leather usually worn in battles.
Before replying to the gatekeeper’s question but while looking at him, Niko told Seria, “Run home. It’s dangerous, remember.”
“But what about you?”:
Still without facing her, “I’ll be fine. I know what I’m doing. Go now and don’t look back.”
“Ok. Good luck with whatever you’re doing.” He’s going to get himself killed.
Seria ran without looking back, just as Niko told him.
“You going to answer or what?” asked the growingly impatient gatekeeper.
Niko looked up and smiled. “Tell you boss that Nikorasu is here to ask him about his boss.”
The gatekeeper paused for a moment, and then laughed. “Tayaku has no boss. He’s the boss of the entire area.”
“Sure he is. Just go tell him Nikorasu is here.”
While still laughing, “Sure. Ok. Your funeral. He hates being disturbed.”
Just at that moment, Tayaku was walking in the middle of the fort, in plain view of the gatekeeper. He was tall, about six feet tall. He had long black hair, purple shirt and pants, and a metal chest plate.
The gatekeeper turned around. “Boss. There’s a guy here asking you about your boss. What a moron.”
“I answer to no one. Who is this guy?”
“He says his name is Nikorasu.”
“Nikorasu?!” Him?! What’s he doing here. He’s traveled all this way? Are the rumors and master’s warnings true? “Don’t let him in. Fill him with as many arrows as you can.”
“Yes sir.” As the gatekeeper kneeled to get his bow and arrows, the gates blew open with an incredibly strong wind. Many of the people were blown back. The gatekeeper was knocked from the fence. As the dust stirred up from the wind cleared, Niko was standing there with a calm expression.
Tayaky thought, So that’s the boy to have caused master’s other forces so much trouble. “Everyone, kill him.”
Over twenty men charged towards Niko. He drew his sword from his sheath.
