Chapter 6: Part 2 (Final Part/Ending of Chap6)

“Whatcha suppose we do with this Jendei feller?” said a voice. Jendei slowly opened up his eyes and was blinded by light. Nothing was blurry anymore, and he could see as clear as day.

“I dunno... 'Boss hasn't given any other orders yet... 'Gotta take him to the castle I suppose...” He peered over and saw a man with a long bronze colored beard. He, unlike “Lampo”, wasn't wearing a long robe. Instead, he wore a short, thin green coat, with a dagger at his side. “The CASTLE?” says the other voice. “Why there? I hate it there! It's filled wit' nothin' but vermin...” He saw the other man, he wore the same things as the other man, but he was only a little bit taller. “That's where the boss said to take him, dumbass. D'yeh want to get yer throat sliced open like on' of 'dem other fellers?” He saw the first man nudge the second man on the side. “I guess not...” said the second one. “But can I stay out 'er? I hate that place. Gives me 'de creeps jus' lookin' at it...” The first man stopped. Jendei opened his eye a little to see he was looking at the second man. He then continued walking and said “Sure, go on ahead coward...” The second man made a sort of a “HUMPH” noise and kept walking.

Jendei noticed that his body was tense, not limp like a person knocked out or dead. He quickly, but slow enough not to look suspicious, made himself limp again. He then had an idea, he could kill the two men, with the poison in his boots, or his hidden knife in his elbow, or something else. Then he could run and find Siemo and get out of here! That wasn't a bad idea. He looked at his elbow, which was placed by his face, as the first man was carrying him like a deer. Holding on hand and one leg, and letting the other hand and other leg hang over and dangle. He noticed he we stripped of his primary sword. He peered over at the taller man. The taller man was looking at the bushes like something might jump out. Then Jendei noticed that the taller man WAS carrying his sword at his side. That bastard. Jendei needed that! He looked around slowly at his surroundings. As in, pretended he was still out cold by bobbing his head up and down.

Jendei then realized what path they were on. It was the path to Morte Castle. Jendei then shot into a flash back.

Jendei was about 17 years old, 6 years after his parents' death. He was being escorted as a prisoner to Morte Castle. His face was expressionless, as he just got caught robbing a bank. He had a little mustache, but not much. The group Jendei was in was walking to the Castle, or “Hell” as some mostly called it. Jendei felt a poke on his shoulder. It was his best friend, Lanji.

“What is it?” whispered Jendei. He looked around frantically “Hurry it up, before the guards hear us again!” Lanji made a little chuckle before he said “The guard up front, or “Sarge” as they call him.. Heheh, his armor has an open spot! Maybe we could pull one of our maneuvers and get him down, and run for it!” Jendei looked over to the “Sarge”. His armor DID have an open spot. It was on his left leg, right on the back. He could run over and kick his leg out! Jendei leaned over to Lanji. “You run over, and distract him, and I'll get his legs, alright?” Lanji nodded and began running. Jendei followed. “HEY! LOOK AT ME SARGY SAAARGE!” He ran at sarge and hit his chest. At the same time, Jendei ran behind, and did what looked like a low kick to the back of the Sarge's leg. The Sarge fell back and went down motionless. A whistle blew and everyone scattered. Lanji looked at Jendei “Run for it! Haha- Uhh.. Gaah...fuh...” Jendei saw what happened, Lanji got knifed in the chest. He fell over and collapsed. Jendei ran over and looked at him. “Lanji! Get up! Let's go! Come on!” Lanji looked at Jendei and then closed his eyes. Lanji, Jendei's best friend, was now dead. Jendei got up, looked at the guards and ran for it. He kept running. He felt the guards gaining on him. Bullets flying by, knives being thrown. He thought it was over for him. “'Eh? 'Ere it is!” Jendei snapped out of it. He had a second thought about killing these men. It might turn out to be HIM that dies. He then thought of another way to get Siemo out of there. He would let them put him in a cell, and escape from there.

Jendei looked at the horizon, and something rose. Something big, and metal rose. Morte Castle. It was as beautiful, as it was deadly.

As the men continued to walk, Jendei thought he saw, when he looked at the ground, Lanji's face, imprinted in the sand.
