chapter - 3

Friend or foe

“He’s coming, hide quickly,” said a young man, hiding behind a tree.

There were two more with him. The three were waiting for someone.

When Levi was passing through the road in search of the crystal these men encircled him. They all have swords in their hands.

“Hello Han, how are you doing?” said the young man.

“Hope you have something for us?” said another man, he was skinny of among them all.

They were the people who always used to bully Han.

“C’mon buddy take out the gold pieces which u got from the ruin.” Said the fatty with a wide smile on his face and holding a sword in his hand.

“I don’t have anything with me, so **** off and let me go,” said Levi preparing for the worst-case and observing the three.

After hearing these words all three become very angry with Han and tried to beat him up.

But they didn’t know that it was not the same old Han they have known, it was Levi who was inside now.

Before they could attack him, Levi took out his sword and blocked their sword with his great reflex. But then also Levi was outnumbered.

He got an idea in his head. He cast a spell on his sword again which quickly made the sword burn and heat up. This time he removed the spell as soon the sword started to glow red.

The young man was first to stand again and he quickly ran towards Levi. He blocked his attack with his sword. When both swords collide with each other young man’s sword broke in two. It was because the heat from Levi’s sword melted the other sword and cut it into half.

Meanwhile, the other two had also stand on their feet but seeing this the other two didn’t dare to attack and defend the young man and instantly ran from there. The young man also left his broken sword and ran from there.

They have never seen Han or any other person who was good in both with swords and sorcery.

“How can this possible boss? Did Han learned magic somehow?” asked the fatty panting.

The young man was the boss of the other two. They were still shocked by the incident that just back there.

“He is a magic caster?” said skinny man catching his breath.

“Shut up you two. I have known Han since childhood. He always has been practising with melee weapons and never once saw him learning magic.” The young man replied.

“Ah, I am saved. I guess they never have seen a swordsman with casting magic.” Levi remembered that these people always used to bully Han and they really enjoyed it.

“I need to teach them a good lesson so they can never try to pick a fight with me again.” Levi thought in his head.

He holds the broken sword and cast magic which would tell the location of its owner but for it to work it needed DNA or fingerprint of the owner. Which was already available on the sword. After finishing with his wizardry a map was build inside Levi’s head which could lead him to them.

He followed that location and soon reached where the three were hiding. They haven’t run very far.

“Holy Earth and light help me and follow my lead…” Levi cast magic and soon the nearby branched of the trees started to grow and move towards the three.

“Ah what is this? What is happening?” Said the three in unison.

The trees branches started to move and

The branches grab all three and lifted them in air. They tried to push themselves out of the branches but were unable to. Branches started to swing and rotate them in a circle. Fatty couldn’t take handle the pressure and vomited on the ground after a few rounds. The other two also started to feel the sick was begging for it to stop. A few moments later branched slowed down and stopped rotating.

“Hello there, how you doing guys?” said Levi coming out from the woods.

“You…You how did u do this? When did you learn magic?’ said the young man not knowing what to anymore.

“Do you have any… wizard helping you? Let’s us go please, we promise we will never harm you again.” Said fatty looking worst.

“Oh I am dying, please have mercy let me go. I swear, I will do whatever you want.” Said the skinny guy fearing that he might kill them.

After listening to them Levi said, “I originally came planned to teach you a lesson but now I have some other plans.”

“What kind of plans??” asked the young man with fear in his eyes and looked like he is going to start crying any moment.

“I want you all to join me and help me with my quest.”

“We will boss, we will follow you.” the young man replied and agreed quickly.

“Okay now I’m going to free you to remember what you said”

The branched unwrapped them and moved to their original place.

They were still feeling dizzy and couldn’t stand on their feet.

“Drink this, it’s a healing potion.” Levi handed them a green bottle.

They quickly accepted it and emptied the bottle. It instantly healed them up. They quickly got up and followed him on a new quest.

“Before we go here take this.” Levi gave the sword which was broken earlier to the young man.

“Wow! You really have changed. You are not like the old Han I remembered and you have learned…” Levi ignored him and quickly said “Ah! One more thing call me Levi, for u guys ‘Levi Sen’ and also let us do an introduction.”

Others were confused, why Han wanted to call Levi. But they dared not ask them. The young man introduced himself first. “I am Ral, and I come from a warrior’s family.”

“I am [ ] and I also come from a warrior’s family.” Said the skinny guy.

Lastly, it was fatty’s turn “I am [ ] and also come from a warrior’s family.”

After the introduction was complete they set on a new journey.
