And Young is already breathing heavily, he couldn't watch his Master die so he looks down immediately the man was releasing the arrow out of his hand against Joey. But as soon as the arrow arrives Joey caught it with just his two fingers without even looking at his back. While Young looks up in surprise as Joey draws out his sword and quickly dragged Young out of the horse. And that made, Young, to become so frightened thinking that Joey was about to kill him but actually, Joey was attempting to save him instead. "I have told you to always be vigilant..." Joey said when he dragged Young down and there was an arrow coming for Young which Joey stopped with his sword. And so Young placed his hand on his chest and breathes down in pressure. And then he slowly looks up just to discover that they have been surrounded by some group of men with swords and arrows and other armed and dangerous weapons. While Joey and Young stares at themselves "Mystic armies" Joey said as he draws out his remain sword out of his back making him have two because that's what makes it more fun. And so Young brings out his own swords just like his master he equally have two. So Joey and Young embarked on their fighting posture waiting for the armies to attack them first. "How the hell did they manage to find us here" Young asked Joey as they set their swords readily to fight. "I don't even care about how they find us, because after I settle these ones here, I will track Lord Mystic down and waste him and all his armies" Joey said and immediately the Mystic armies started coming after them. And as soon as the Mystic armies were approaching Joey leaped to the tree, making a stand at the body of the tree and fighting the armies with that posture. While Young was also busy murdering the armies without stress and so Joey leaped out of the tree and matched one of the mystic armies down and stabbed him severally on his eyes. And so one was attempting to stab him from the back and he dodged it by bending down and just like that he caught off one of the man's leg. "Aah!!" the man screamed in a loud voice but was shut up by Joey's sword that pierced into his stomach. And within just few minutes they wiped out the entire Mystic Army and it was just remaining one of them that are still alive but was badly injured. While Young was busy looking around the ones he have killed as if he was searching for very important. And finally he found one thing important, he spotted one of the dead ones grabbing a necklace which he remembered. He hurriedly reached out to the dead body and took the necklace and began to glance at it as he knees down in tears because it actually belongs to the person he thinks it belongs to. "No! No!!" Young screamed bitterly as Joey approached him and stares at the necklace and clearly discover who owns it. It was Young's girlfriend, a girl he loved so much, just that fate has decided to keep them apart. Though it was Young's decision, that she has to stay back at their home town instead of coming along to Joey to become a warrior just like him. Young didn't allow it because he won't afford to lose her. And this very necklace doesn't leave her neck, she bathes with it and does anything she wants to do with the necklace on her neck, she never removes it. So for this necklace to leave her neck, it means that she is obviously dead, they killed her and took the necklace. But what for? what were they actually doing with the necklace? that means that they are actually trying to track down, Young. "I warned you, Young, come along with her so you would give her the best protection she needed, the best protection she would get us staying by your side" Joey said to Young who was already shedding tears. And so Young looks up to him in tears "I thought Vallah would be the safest place for her, I didn't know that it would end this way" Young said as Joey waves his head. "No place is safe for people like us or for our love ones" "Well trained and skilled warriors like us have so many enemies around the world, hunting us" "As you can see, this is actually to use her and convey a message to you" Joey said as Young stares at him. "Yes, it's a message that they are coming for you, but we will be waiting" Joey said. "Then that means that Mystic was not the one behind this" Young suggested because Lord Mystic has been seeking peace from Joey for a long now. So there is no how he would be the one to raise a war again. "Well I don't care, I will kill him because these are his armies" Joey said as he looks around the dead armies. And then they heard a cough at their back and they looked and it was the only Mystic Army who survived and was trying to be strong. While Young and Joey stares at the guy and Young angrily picked up his sword and walks directly to him. He pointed the sword on his neck "Tell me what happened to her and who the hell sent you and I will have mercy on you" Young said pointing his sword at the guy's neck. The guy's face was covered with blood as he kept breathing heavily and was still trying to speak when Joey picked up his own sword. "Just kill him away" Joey said stepping closer. "Joey no! allow me to handle this on my own" Young said but Joey insisted and throw his sword against guy. But the sword was directly coming for Young, so Young bent down and dodged his head. And the sword directly pierced into the skull Mystic army's head and appeared at the back of his head. "No!" Young exclaimed angrily as he was hoping to get an answer from the guy. "Don't worry Young, the Wizard will equally tell us what we need to know about this attack, so come on let's go" Joey said. • • • • THE WIZARDS HOME. Just like everywhere was filled with snow, there was a hut at the middle of the forest, a lonely hut which was covered with snow. "Come on, I don't think anyone is living here" Young said taking a deep look at the hut as it appears very old and inhabitant. But Joey keeps silent at him as they approached closer to the hut with their horses. Joey jumped down while Young watches around and so Joey slowly approached the house and looks closer at the hut. But he couldn't find the door of the hut and so he turned and looks at Young and immediately he was turning his back on the door, it opened. Making a very loud noise that made Joey to look back immediately, he saw a burning fire inside the hut which is of course used as light as the hut is very dark. "Here we go" Joey said as Young stepped closer to Joey and stood by his side as they both of them glanced inside the hut to see if there is anyone or anything inside the hut. "No one inside" Young said as they found no sign of human or anything inside the hut. So silently Joey began to walk inside and Young as well followed him and immediately the both of them entered, the door shut immediately making them to gasp. "Show yourself" Joey shouted. "Your voice never changes Joey" A voice said at their side and they looked and saw a man sitting at bench at their right hand side. "You will never change Joey" the wizard said as he gets up from his seat and steps closer while Joey was just watching. "I know you wouldn't want to say anything... I told you that you will surely come back to this place and you doubted it" The Wizard said as he began arranging some drinks for them. "You have came here to know about the boy, your new baby boy right?" The Wizard asked as Young stares at him surprisingly, wondering how he get to know. And so the wizard handed over a drink to him but Joey rejected it. "Am sorry but that's obviously not the reason why am here" "I came to know if the prophecy about him is true" Joey asked as the Wizard takes a deep breathe and kept his drink back on the table. "The boy was amazingly gifted by the gods, destined with 7 great course, D E S T I N Y on his name, to protect" "His name will spread all over the world, he was born for greatness, a blessing to you and your wife and actually to the people as well but only if you allow it to be so" The Wizard said. But the Wizard's words was not actually enough for Joey as he isn't getting the correct answer that he needed. "This question needs yes or no, tell me! if what the Witch said about him and me is true" Joey asked as the Wizards nods. "Yes..." The Wizard was still saying but Joey turned and began walking out of the hut immediately as he has already confirmed what he has came for. "Am getting rid of that baby and his mother!" Joel yelled out leaving the hut angrily.
