Silent Warrior

Pierre: Hey! Sis, hate to tell you this but I’m the new Master of all Narrators.

Carly: Are not!

Pierre: Are to! I, the Master of all Narrators, am called by no one, Pierre the Master of all Narrators!

Carly: Bravo! Bravo! Hate to tell you this, but this story is not about us. It’s about Jacob and Aurelia, Philip and Aurora, and Patrick and Alexandria. Jacob and Aurelia are twins and so are Philip and Aurora. Patrick is 2 years older than Alexandria. They are descendants of all those dead people.

Pierre: Whom are they related to? Well, Jacob and Aurelia are descendants of Alyssa and Prince Charming, Phillip and Aurora are descendants of Susan and Blake Dawson, and Patrick and Alexandria are descendants of Callisto and Marec Dawson.

Carly: So. Right now they’re having a party, celebrating Patrick’s wife’s first baby, a daughter…

Phillip: Congratulations, guys! Can I hold the baby?

Ben: I want to hold baby, too, Mommy.

Alexandria: Hey, Patrick!!!!!! Should I let them hold Toby? Ben and Soxie are strong and old enough to hold Toby.

Carly: You just saw (heard) a part of what happened at the party. About twenty years later…

Pierre: Twenty years later, these people, Patrick, Alexandria, Aurora, Philip, Jacob, and Aurelia, have retired. They all went to the Elysian Fields, which was reopened by the Meek Servant. Lately, the Underworld has split into 4 kingdoms, Vernal Equinox (the Northern Kingdom), Summer Solstice (the Eastern Kingdom), Autumnal Equinox (the Southern Kingdom), and Winter Solstice (the Western Kingdom). All of their children are now in their later teens and early twenties. They have all gone their own ways. Ben, 22, has moved to the Eastern Kingdom and has joined the army. A year ago, he married a girl named Julia Devoid.

Carly: Soxie, 21, has also moved to the Eastern Kingdom, but she is a chef in the castle. Stephan, her boyfriend, has just proposed to her and she said yes. Toby, 20, has moved to the Western Kingdom, and works as a blacksmith. His wife is named Kristienne Quimby, and they have 2 children, Stephanie and Kevin. Charity, 19, lives in the Northern Kingdom. Charity’s boyfriend is Devon Tolstoy. She is one of the kingdom’s many healers.

Pierre: Charity’s brother, Francis, 19, is a wizard studying with the great Merlin in the Northern Kingdom. Francis is married to Laurel Harman. They have 3 sons and 1 daughter, Michael, Gabriel, Rapheal, and Illiana. Valanice, 18, lives in the Southern Kingdom. She has a job as a lady in waiting. Trisha and Kimberli, 17, both live in the Southern Kingdom. The twin girls both work as scouts for the kingdom’s army.

Carly: Jak, 31, is an assassin, who answers to the Western Kingdom’s Head Council. He has lately gotten a new mission. His mission is to assassinate the last of the remaining Dawsons. Jak, also known as the Silent Warrior, has not said anything to anyone, except his children, since his wife, Melinda, was executed for treason. Jak, being a descendant of Callisto and Marec, is taking care of his daughter and son. The twins have their mother’s magical capabilities. Rakel Raven has the powers of the Darkness, the Light, and the Forest. Her brother, Hades Lance, controls the powers of the Water, the Mountain, and the Sky. Together they make an unstoppable team. Their father has taught them all he knows about fighting and now, on this mission, their powers will be tested…

Pierre: This just in… Ben has died. That was so long. Hmmmm. Poor Julia. He left her all alone. Just think, right now Julia is pregnant. She’s due to deliver their twins this month. Wait a sec. How did he die? In the war between the Eastern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom. Thank you. But when did this war start?

Carly: It started yesterday. Don’t you listen to the news? Oh, and Julia is now staying with Soxie.

Pierre: Oh. Okay. Well, now where was I? Oh, yes, I was about to tell you what is happening…

Rakel: Daddy? Daddy? Where are you?

Jak: I’m right here Rakel. Where’s your brother? I need to tell you guys something very important.

Rakel: Hades! Hades! Come here!

Hades: What! Daddy tell her to stop yelling!

Jak: Come here Hades, Rakel. I’m going to tell you a secret.

Rakel: Ooooh! A secret! Tell me!

Jak: You know my next mission is to kill the remaining Dawsons right?

Hades: Yeah, so?

Jak: Never be that cold hearted Hades. We are not going to kill anybody.

Hades: Why not? I want to kill…

Jak: Hades! You don’t want to kill anyone! Besides you can’t kill any Dawsons.

Rakel: Why not, Daddy?

Jak: Because…you remember your cousins, uncles, and aunts right?

Hades: Yeah! Those guys are cool!

Jak: Do you want to hurt them?

Rakel: No, Daddy. We don’t.

Jak: Good. Because they’re Dawsons. We’re Dawsons, too.

Hades: But, Daddy we aren’t Dawsons. We’re Vances.

Jak: That was your great, great, great grandmother’s maiden name.

Rakel: Who was that, Daddy?

Hades: Yeah, I want to hear this.

Jak: She was killed by her sister-in-law. And your great, great, great grandfather was killed by these people who came and then left. One of the children survived and had your great grandmother, who had your grandma, who had me. Then you guys came. Now do you believe me?

Rakel: Yes, Daddy.

Hades: Yes, Father.

Carly: So, that’s when those poor children learned about their true family name. He went on to tell them about the whole Dawson family. Later that day…

Rakel: Can you believe my dad said we’re Dawsons? That is like the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. Would you believe that?

Cherry: No, but then again, you know I would agree with you. You could kill me very easily.

Rakel: That’s right. So. Where’s Guy?

Cherry: You mean he hasn’t been with you all day?

Rakel: No. I just told you. I spent most of my morning playing the little “good girl.”

Cherry: Oh, yeah.

Rakel: Besides, I haven’t seen him since he left this morning.

Cherry: He stayed over again?!

Rakel: Don’t act so strange. You know we love each other.

Cherry: Yeah, but… Never mind. He might be in another fight with Morgead. You know Morgead wants to kill him just to have you to himself.

Rakel: So, then where’s Morgead?

Cherry: I’d think he’s at home or…

Morgead: Hey! Rakel! How’ve ya been?

Rakel: Hey, Morgead! What did you do with Guy?

Morgead: Guy? Oh, him. The Red Dragons got ‘im.

Rakel: And they would be…?

Morgead: In their warehouse lair, of course! Those cowards would only mess with your boyfriend. He is too weak to be in this gang, he’s even too weak to survive outside of his house. And we all know where that is!

Carly: Pssst! He lives in the rich part of the Western Kingdom, which is the safest town.

Rakel: Shut up, Morgead. Let’s just go to the Red Dragon’s lair.

Morgead: After you, my dear. We wouldn’t want anyone to sneak up behind you and mess up that pretty little face of yours.

Rakel: I wouldn’t be surprised if you tried that.

Morgead: Well, at least I don’t lose a fight with Cherry here!

Cherry: Hey!

Rakel: Watch what you say, Morgead! You can be out of this gang faster than you can say Hobochabason.

Morgead: Oh. So it’s my fault that you choose the wimpiest people on the streets!

Rakel: You’re really pushing it!

Morgead: And what are you going to do, Hon? Give me a bloody nose? Oooh, I’m soooo scared!

Pow! Slap! Pow!

Morgead: Okay, okay! I surrender! I’ll do what ever you want. I’ll even kill Guy!

Rakel: Don’t you learn?

Morgead: No, love.

Cherry: How ‘bout we just go?

Rakel: Okay. After you, Morgead.

Morgead: I hate this! I really do! (I wish that guy, Guy, would just die!)

Pierre: By the time they reach the warehouse, Rakel is ready to kill someone. They walk up to the warehouse. Knock! Knock! Knock! A very muscular guy opens the door and Rakel and Morgead push their way in and start beating up the Red Dragon’s members, while Cherry steals some of the gang’s valuables and goes to untie Guy. Pow! Kablam! Bang! Bang! Bang! By now, all the other gang members are unconscious…

Rakel: Guy! How are you doing?

Guy: I-I think I-I’m fine. Ugh.

Rakel: Poor, poor Guy. Let’s take him back to our lair.

Cherry: You mean we’re going to carry him up all those stairs to the tower?!

Rakel: Yes. Do you have a problem with that?

Cherry: No. I guess.

Rakel: Good. Now let’s be off!

Carly: They enter the castle of the Western Kingdom (the Master of all Darkness’ castle). Upon entering they are stopped by two guards. The guards inform her of her father’s death…

Rakel: What! How can he be dead! I was just talking to him a few hours ago!

GUARD: I'm sorry. But he told the king he wasn't going to follow his orders, so the king had him beheaded. And you and your brother were commanded to leave the castle as soon as possible.

Rakel: Tell the King that I’m not leaving until I’m 6 feet under.

GUARD: yes, Ma'am!

Rakel: Now, let me pass!

Pierre: The guard moves aside and Rakel and her gang pass. Meanwhile, in the throne room…

King of the Western Kingdom: She said what?! Hmmmm… I want her recruited into the assassins’ guild. If she won’t leave then we might as well put her to work. What of her brother? What was his name……? Hades! What did he say?

GUARD: We didn't see him yet, but we believe he'd say something similar.

King of the Western Kingdom: Then put him in the scouts. No wait, they have those powers right?

GUARD: Yes, you majesty.

King of the Western Kingdom: Well, then, we must keep them together. What to do… There’s only one opening in the assassins’ guild. Hmmmm…what to do…maybe, no…what about, no…or we can, no…hmmmm…maybe…no…maybe we can, no… or, no…I know…no…got it…no…I know! I can, no…hmmmm…we can recruit them to, um, kill the man who leads the rebellion! That man known as the Silent Warrior! Yes! That’s it! Send out the order! They are to kill the Silent Warrior! Oh, and have someone follow them 36 hours a day.

Carly: Meanwhile…

Rakel: I can’t believe they killed father! Now who’s going to lead the rebellion?!

Morgead: Shhhh… We don’t want everyone knowing, Darling… It’s not the healthiest thing, you know… Just relax a while…

Rakel: Relax! How can I relax?! I don’t know what to do!

Morgead: Here’s an idea. Take care of that stupid boyfriend of yours…or we can…

Rakel: Oh! Yeah! Guy! Guy, how are you doing?

Guy: I feel better now. But, where’s Hades? Isn’t he supposed to be here by now. . .

Knock! Knock!

Rakel: Who is it? I demand to know!

Carly: She answers the door to find… To find the guard with instructions for her. After explaining all about the rebels and their leader, he leaves to let them think about their orders. Five minutes later, Hades walks in, and they tell him all about what they were told…

Hades: That’s all we have to do? That’s easy considering he’s already dead. So, lets go tell him the mission’s accomplished.

Rakel: But they want his head!

Hades: Now, that could cause a problem. I know! We could kill Guy and take his head!

Rakel: Hey!

Morgead: Fine with me. I’ll even volunteer to do it.

Rakel: Why doesn’t anyone like him?

Guy: It’s because I’m a “rich boy,” isn’t it?

Morgead: No, it’s because you’re a “wimpy rich boy!”

Guy: I’ll prove that I’m not! Give me a mission to accomplish, and if I don’t return in a week, then I’ll leave all of your lives!

Morgead: Ha! Ha! Ha!

Rakel: No, Guy!

Hades: Ha! Ha! Ha!

Guy: So? What is it?

Hades: You have to…um…

Morgead: Capture and bring back a time traveler! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Hades: Ha! Ha! Ha!

Rakel: But that’s impossible! They don’t exist anymore!

Guy: I know where I can find one.

Pierre: Two days later…

Guy: Well, here they are!

Carly: Five people walk in. They are all bound and gagged. Hades and Morgead check the captives out, and then become annoyed…

Hades: Man! You weren’t supposed to be able to pull this off!

Rakel: Now, will you two accept him?

Morgead: Yeah, Hon. But what I want to know is where’d you find them?

Guy: Easy, the live down the street from us.

Hades: Hey, that’s cheating!

Rakel: No, it isn’t! He captured them didn’t he? So, what are their names anyway?

Guy: That’s Jonathan, that’s Amanda, that’s Marcus, that’s Illura, and that’s Buffy. Their names should sound familiar, they’re the ones that tried to wipeout everyone in the Underworld.

Morgead: Hey, my kind of people! Want to join my gang?

Rakel: You mean my gang, right?

Morgead: Yeah, her gang.

Carly: They nod. When they’re all untied, they explained why they tried to kill everyone and how they lived so long…

Pierre: After they’re done, they all head out to their different jobs, except for Rakel, Morgead, and Guy…

Rakel: So, do you two promise not to fight with each other, or try to kill each other?

Morgead: Yeah.

Guy: Yes.

Rakel: Good. Now, both of you, off to you job.

Pierre: And so things went well for a while, until the War started…

Rakel: Hades! Where are you?

Hades: I’m over here!

Rakel: Where? I can’t see through these ashes!

Hades: I’m near the catapult!

Carly: When she reached him she saw that he was bleeding in multiple spots, his arm, which was cut to the bone in one section, a cut on his forehead, and a wound on his leg, which was bound by part of his sleeve. She gasped as she saw Cherry standing next to him, bleeding from a nasty looking burn.

Rakel: Where’s everyone else?

Hades: I don’t know. The time travelers are all dead though.

Cherry: We found them, but they were surrounded. They were by the castle.

Pierre: Just then, Guy runs up to them. One of his arms is twisted in a weird angle…

Guy: Guys! I just heard the announcement! The Eastern Kingdom has surrendered! The war is over!

Rakel: Thank God! Guy, I’m so glad you’re all right, too.

Pierre: She hugs him. Then, they see two forms running toward what’s left of the Eastern Kingdom’s castle…

Carly: Then, out of nowhere, Morgead runs and tackles the smaller of the two figures…

Rakel: Morgead! Don’t hurt them! Just keep them there till we get there!

Morgead: Yes, ma’am!

Carly: As he says that, he smiles. They get there and find he’s holding the two unconscious figures. One of them, is a petite woman with blond hair that was covered in soot. She was dressed in a long black dress. The other one, also a woman, had light brown hair. Stitched into a hankerchief, that she was holding, was the name Benjamin. She wore a black dress and a black veil. Both women had sad expressions on their faces. The girl with the hankerchief stirred…

Julia: -Groan-Where am I? Who are you? Oh, my, God! Soxie!

Rakel: This is Soxie, huh? What’s your name?

Julia: Julia. Who are you? Are you on our side or theirs?

Rakel: We’re on the West’s side.

Julia: Oh. Then kill me quickly. I have nothing to live for anymore.

Rakel: No family?

Julia: Only her. They’re all dead. You people killed my children. And my husband…

Rakel: Okay. Join us.

Julia: Never! I’ll never join you evil people!

Rakel: Okay. Then we’ll have to torture you to get the info we need.

Julia: What!? No! I want a quick death!

Morgead: Sorry, we can’t do that. But then again, we don’t have to work for the West. We’re mercenaries for hire.

Julia: So. How much are they paying you guys? 10000? 20000?

Rakel: Nothing. That’s why we’re for hire.

Julia: I’ll give you $5000, if you don’t kill me or my sister-in-law.

Rakel: Are you trying to bribe us?

Julia: Yes.

Rakel: Then we’ll take it, but tell us what we want to know.

Julia: Anything, just ask.

Rakel: Where can we find Dawsons?

Julia: Why?

Rakel: I’m a Dawson and so is my brother.

Julia: We’re Dawsons. Soxie Dawson, and Julia Devoid. I married her late brother, Ben Dawson.

Morgead: That explains that stupid hankerchief.

Rakel: Shut up, Morgead.

Morgead: Why? It’s true.

Julia: Shut up! That was my husband’s hankie. And if you make fun of me anymore I won’t tell you a thing! So, shut up!

Cherry: Yeah, shut up!

Morgead: What did you say?

Cherry: Um…nothing?

Morgead: Good answer! Now. Continue my fine lady.

Julia: Thank you, I think. There are Dawsons in every kingdom. Some kingdoms have more than others. The Southern Kingdom has the most I believe. The North has 2 families, the South has 3 families, the West has 2 families, and the East had two families. Now that I think about it, I remember Ben mentioning that one of his cousins living in the West had 2 children, I think their names were…Rakel and Hades. Who would want to name their children that is beyond me…

Hades: How dare you insult our names…

Julia: I’m sorry, I didn’t realize…

Hades: Watch what you say woman…

Rakel: All right! Everybody shut up! Continue with what you were saying. Please.

Julia: As I was saying, they…you…are descendants of the men and women who ruled before as the Master or Mistress of Darkness.

Cherry: Tell us about them.

Julia: All right. Long ago…

Carly: And she tells them all about their family’s history. Three hours later, they all head to meet Toby Dawson, the blacksmith, under the assumed name of Zygon. Toby introduces them to his wife and 2 children. They stay there until dinnertime. After dinner, Morgead, Guy, Cherry, Rakel, and Hades head home, while Soxie and Julia stay with Toby and his family. Morgead, Guy, and Cherry say goodnight to Rakel and Hades and go off on their different ways.

Pierre: The next morning, Rakel and Hades report to he King to get their orders for the day…

King of the Western Kingdom: Have you found any sign of Dawsons yet?

Rakel: No, m’lord. We have come for new orders, for we have heard no Dawsons exist anymore.

King of the Western Kingdom: Okay…I want you to…um…find me the purple-pickle-eater-of the Holy Stable!

Hades: Your Grace, there is no such thing.

King of the Western Kingdom: You’re right. How dare you question my orders! Fine! I want you to…um…er…um…hmmmmm…um…I don’t know! Wait! I’ve got it! I want you two to get trained as knights! So, go forth! And train!

Carly: They leave the king’s presence…

Rakel: The old fool really believes us!

Hades: I wonder how old he is. Well, anyway, let us go forth and slack off!

Pierre: They manage to do this for a year. In May, of this year, Rakel and Guy get married. As if you never suspected that this would happen! The wedding was beautiful. Sniff! Rakel wore a white satin dress and her bridesmaids, Cherry, Julia, and Soxie, wore pale green dresses. There were lots of flowers and white. Morgead attended, too. He wore black jeans and T-shirt and a leather jacket. He looked sad and distant. Hades was the best man and did not look very ecstatic. Well, anyway, they went on their honeymoon. Two months later, Rakel gets pregnant. The twins were born on May 11 of the next year. The King of the Western Kingdom has Guy sent away for four years, but he never returns. Rakel, Celestine, and Daedalus move back in with her brother. After a few months, Rakel remarries. She marries a man named Lord Michael Knightly. Michael has three children of his own, they were from his first two wives. Trusilla, 18, has black hair and hazel (green) eyes. She likes to hang out with the in-crowd of the Western Kingdom. Her new idol is Morgead, which makes her boyfriend, and her former idol, jealous. Chaney, 15, has white-blond hair and her father’s pale blue eyes. She is very bright, as is her best friend, Brian Krow, 14. They both attend St. Pierina School. Azrael, 16, has his father’s brown hair and his mother’s amber eyes. He is a great singer and has his own band. He knows how to summon beasts to fight for him like the Leviathan.

Carly: Two years later, Trusilla marries Morgead, Hades marries Kallisto Temüjin, and Chaney and Brian traveled to the Northern Kingdom to study further. Meanwhile, the King of the Western Kingdom, now dethroned, has stumbled upon the remains of the tea house. There he finds a picture of a woman with wavy red hair and sparkling blue eyes. She looks strangely familiar to him. His heart stirs. Then, he remembers, an empire, little children everywhere, yellow, red, orange, black, brown, a singing teapot?? Then, there is more, darkness, sadness, someone talking but he can’t make out the words, a celebration, light, happiness, this woman, generations of children, beautiful forests, a deadly river, a willow, a cottage, a dead tree, evil, a servant, a strange girl, a crazy son, strange visitors, then darkness…

Pierre: Then, a tear falls down his cheek. A tear from the king that never felt pity or sadness. He then takes his dagger, and plunges it into his heart.

Carly: Two hours later, he wakes up as Jack Dawson, a commoner with amazing powers. He steps out of the tea house into the sunlight. He looks around and sees the land as it was, and using all strength, he changes and shapes the world, restoring it to its original glory. The only people that survive the change were the people related to the Dawsons. Rakel and her family, Hades and his, Toby and his family, Soxie and their family, and every other person in the family. Even Julia’s family is kept safe. Out of a mist, steps Ben with their two young children, Betsy and Jake. Everyone is restored to the way they looked when they were in the prime of their life. The land was again only the Dawsons’. When he awoke from his nap, Rakel and Hades walked up to him…

Rakel: Excuse me, my lord…

Jack: No. Don’t say that. We are family.

Rakel: Okay. But I don’t know your name.

Jack: Jack. Jack Dawson.

Hades: Okay. Jack. We want to know why you didn’t bring back our father.

Jack: Well, are you sure of that?

Hades: Yeah.

Jack: Then who’s that behind you?

Rakel: What? Dad!

Hades: Huh? Father! We have so much to tell you!

Carly: And everyone lived happily ever after…

Pierre: Well, they would if I was the Master of all Narrators!

Carly: What! I don’t think so!

Pierre: Well, I do. After all I already have a speech!

Carly: Why, you little…

End Nar.: Hi! While they fight, I the End Narrator Dudette, will tell you that that is all and you can forget all about us, because we never really existed in the first place. But if a place like this really existed, then you know how the people act. But then again, we do exist, even if it’s only in someone’s imagination. But to make a long problem short, we’ll let you decide. So, so long! It was nice knowing you. And if you pick this up, I hope we make you laugh! Bye!
