Dante’s quest for
the
Sword of the fallen one
Chapter 1
On a warm midsummer’s day the wind was screaming through the countryside and in the winds shadow was a presence of some thing sinister and evil with a intent to kill that made the ground crack underneath each of his steps. It was lurking in the shadow of the wind waiting for a chance to kill any one he could find.
Not that far from where the presence was a 16 year old boy was sleeping in the cool shade of the tree’s shadow, he was dreaming dreams of great conquest, pride, love and the usual perverted stuff that boys of his age dream about. He was enjoying his current dream of him sitting by the lake with his girlfriend just enjoying each other’s company, they were holding each other, breathing in the scent of the others flesh and kissing each other gently there lips caressing the others flesh. Then the dream took a horrible turn, he standing in the centre of the large village the villager’s were getting minced, sliced and gutted by a invisible force and by the looks of things it was making its way towards him. Every body he cared about was being slaughtered like animals his mum, his dad, his baby sister, his friends and his girlfriend was knocked out and the figure picked her up and but her over its shoulder. They were falling one by one right in front of his eyes, his mum was trying to say some thing to him but he could not work out what she as saying because there was no sound coming from her mouth.
“Time to die Dante” laughed the figure
“Who are you” asked Dante
“why I’m your worst nightmare” laughed the figure again and this time its sword came down to his head and Dante woke with a start.
“what was that?” wondered Dante
Dante is tall for his age standing tall at 6 foot 2, he has blue eyes, he has short dark black hair with hints of silver scatted through out it, he is fairly muscular for his age as well so he wears short sleeve shirts which are un-buttoned must of the time. The one that he has on today is black with blood red flames around the edges of the shirt with a sword covered in flames on the back and he has long black shorts on with the same design apart from the sword on them and he has a pair of sandals on as well.
It was nearly time for school so he picked up his bag and made his towards the school that was in the centre of the village. It was a short walk to the village but Dante made his way slowly towards the school. Some of the villagers greeted a good morning and he responded in kind. When Dante got at the school it was already second lesson so he had to sneak in while the teacher was taking to his class with her back towards the class Dante almost made it to his seat when the teacher turned around at that exact moment.
“Nice of you to join us Dante” shouted the teacher “why are you late this time?”
“Morning Miss well the reason I was late this time was err ……. I was sleeping” replied Dante and Dante braced him self for what was about to come.
“SLEEPING YOU WERE SLEEPING WHY WERE YOU SLEEPING DIDN’T YOU GET ENOUGH SLEEP LAST NIGHT DANTE WELL ANSWER ME THEN” roared the teacher
“well for certain actions that I did last night, I got hardly any and what I did is really none of your business Miss” replied Dante
“Oh really and just what are these actions then?” asked the teacher
“It is like I said that is none of your business Miss” retorted Dante
“NO YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME NOW” shouted the teacher
“I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU, but do you want to tell her Lyra” casually asked Dante
“No I don’t think I will either but Miss is it really any of your business what we do in our free time” replied Lyra. They gave each other a high five this made things worse as usual.
Lyra is Dante girlfriend she is 16 years old, she is tall for girls in her school year she is 5 foot 10, she has long dark blonde hair with red streaks placed around the edges, Lyra has big brown eyes, Lyra has a average chest size for a girl. Lyra is wearing a black and red mini skirt and a tank top which is black and with blood red flames along edges of her shirt with a heart covered in red flames she wears the same type of clothes as Dante but in a style for girls and she is also wearing a pair of black sandals as well. Every body in the school thinks that Lyra and Dante are the perfect match they suit each other perfectly Lyra is pretty much the girl version Dante and Dante is the boy version of Lyra.
“it is my business if it stops you from arriving on time and it stops you from doing your work so will you tell me now and if you don’t it is straight to the principles office if you don’t tell me” demanded the teacher. Dante and Lyra looked at each other and said “no we wont tell you” at the same time this made the teacher furious and she sent them to the principles office. The whole class cheered and on their way out Dante turned back to the class and gave them a bow.
“Do not worry my friends I shall return” laughed Dante
“Go on get going both you” shouted the teacher as those to disappeared from sight “will those two ever learn” she joined in laughing with the class.
Just when Dante and Lyra was about to go into the waiting room that’s near the principle’s office the bell rang for morning break and if the bell rings before you get to the principles office it cancels out the reason why you need to go there so they got of Scot free again as usual. They made their way out into the grounds of school and made their way to the tree that was in the middle of the field where Mike and his girlfriend Rukia were there waiting for them.
“Typical Dante first day back at school after the summer break and you are already in trouble and Lyra you are no better then him but it was funny” said Mike. Mike is 16 years old and is best friends with Dante and Lyra the three of them have known each other since pre-school. Mike has short blonde hair, has black eyes and a scar going straight through one of his eyes but he can still see out of it. Mike is 6 foot 3 so he’s taller then Dante. He has a average build for a boy his age and mike is wearing baggy jeans and lose shirt on as well Mike is also wearing some black trainers.
“Seriously Dante what was the real reason why you were so late” asked Mike
“It’s like I said I was asleep up by the old tree at the edge of the village and I was enjoying a great dream” told Dante “but then it turned into this crazy hellish nightmare”
“Well what was it about?” asked Lyra. So Dante began telling the three of them about his demonic nightmare and at some points his friends could not believe what he was saying, even Dante had trouble believing what he was saying. When he got to the point when Lyra was snatched he stopped there not wanting to tell his friends the rest of the dream because he was still trying to figure out what that presence in the wind was saying to him.
“That was one strange dream you had Dante I see what you mean by hellish now” exclaimed Rukia. Rukia is Mike’s girlfriend she is a year older then Dante, Mike and Lyra so she is 17 years old, Rukia has long wavy black hair that goes down to her lower back, Rukia has got a reasonably sized chest for some one in her school year, Rukia is 5 foot 11 a great height for Mike seeing how he likes tall girls and Mike is tall him self, Rukia is wearing a tight blue jeans and a white t-shirt as well and she also has some white and red trainers on as well.
“Thanks Rukia, I think” replied Dante. The group continued to talk about Dante’s strange dream for the rest of the break. The rest of the morning lessons seem to go by the speed of a snail to Dante because he kept on thinking all about that strange dream. He was in the middle of science class .
“Excuse me sir” asked Dante
“Yes what is it Dante” replied the teacher
“Is it usual for some one to remember a dream including every little detail like how many leaves were on the floor or what the air smelt like” asked Dante. Lyra looked around to him when he finished asking the question and so did Mike they exchange worrying looks.
“Dante that is a very off the topic question but I will answer it as best as I can” replied the teacher.
“Thank you sir” responded Dante
“I would have to say it was very unheard of for some one to remember stuff like that from their dreams but there have been reports of people describing every detail so actually the things that happen in that dream come to pass. Some thing like that has not happen in at least fifty years, unless you know some one that has had a dream like this Dante” asked the teacher
“No I don’t I just fort I should ask that’s all I read about it in a book some where and I just wanted to check if it was possible or not” snapped Dante.
The wind is picking up speed and the presence inside the winds shadow has lost its patients and is smashing every thing in its path it will be in Dante’s village in two days.
It was launch time at the school and Dante was a bit worried by the stuff that his science teacher had said. He could not stop thinking if he was one of those unlucky few who remembers all the detail and the dream comes to pass. Dante was sitting with his back towards the tree in the field. Lyra went over to Dante put her launch to the and sat down on Dante’s lap.
“Dante are you alright you seem kind of scared” asked Lyra
“No I’m not alright I cant stop thinking that my dream could come true and every body out there on the field and in the village could die and losing you to what that thing that killed them all, Lyra I’m not scared I’m terrified” replied Dante. Lyra could tell by the look in his eyes that he meant every word that he just said.
“Come here” said Lyra and Dante sat up when he did that Lyra leapt forward and hugged him tightly “as long as I’m here you have nothing to worry about ok”
“Ok” replied Dante
“Good” replied Lyra
“Just one thing through” responded Dante
“What’s that?” asked Lyra
“Can you let go I can’t breathe” asked Dante
“Oh sorry, sorry” replied Lyra
“That’s ok your hugs always cheer me up” said Dante
“Cheeky” blushed Lyra they moved closer to each other and they kissed for what seemed like an eternity but in reality it was only a for a few seconds.
“Are you feeling better now Dante” asked Lyra
“Thanks I’m ok now but I’m going skip the rest of the day and go into Landis which is just a few miles away do you want to come” asked Dante
“Yeah ok let’s have our launch first and then see if Mike and Rukia want to come as well” asked Lyra
“Sure let’s wait for those two here while we have our launch” replied Dante. Lyra got off Dante’s lap and sat next to him while they were having launch. When they both had finished Dante put his head down onto Lyra’s lap after a while Mike and Rukia showed up and Mike’s face was all bashed up. Blood was dripping from his nose and the corner of his mouth, his eye’s were all puffy and bloated.
“What happened mate” asked Dante
“Rukia’s ex-boyfriend and his mates just jumped me when I was coming out of the bathroom” replied Mike
“I found him behind the garage they were still pounding him when I got there, I managed to get him away from them before the got serious” cried Rukia
“It’s alright Rukia he’s alright now” said Lyra calmly she went towards Rukia and hugged her to calm her down. Lyra and Rukia went to the ladies room so that Rukia could clam down while they were doing this Dante was finding it hard to keep his temper under control, his blood was beginning to boil. Mike noticed this and looked worried.
“Dante what is with that look in your eye don’t tell me your going to go after him he is not worth it” pleaded Mike
“I’m sorry Mike but I cant stand by and let this go unpunished I’m going after him I will be back soon” exclaimed Dante. He began to walk of to were Mike and Rukia came from. “Don’t worry I wont even get a scratch from that lot ok” shouted Dante. Dante threw his bag to the floor and he started to run towards the garage gaining speed in each step that he took until he was just a blur to the naked eye. Dante was getting angrier and angrier until some thing in side him snapped, Dante did not know where this strength was coming from but he did not care he only had one think on his mind vengeance. When Dante got close to the garage he was slowing down with each step that he took he braked suddenly near the corner of the school he peered around the corner and there he was Rukia’s ex and he was bragging about bashing up Mike. Dante walked out from where he was hiding and made his way towards the group.
“Well if it isn’t Dante did your little cry baby of friend tell you what happened to him” sneered Chad. Chad is Rukia’s ex-boyfriend he is 17 years old. Chad is the same height as Mike so he is 6 foot 3, Chad is scrawny for is age he doesn’t have much upper body strength but he makes up for it by being light on his feet. Chad is wear a short sleeve shirt which is red and black with red and black shorts and he has a pair of black trainers on as well.
“He’s no cry baby but yes he did tell me and I’m a bit ticked of and you are going to come with me now and apologize to him now” replied Dante
“Well what is we don’t want to go with you” laughed Chad
“It wasn’t a request it was a order” grinned Dante. That strength he felt earlier was back and it was getting stronger with each passing second and he like the feeling it gave him. Chad gave his mates the signal and they surrounded Dante.
“Come on at least give me a challenge the 6 of you is not even going to make me brake a sweat” laughed Dante
“Oh yeah well we will just see about that” sneered Chad. Chad and his gang thugs all lunged for Dante at the same time but to Dante they all seemed to be moving at slow motion he could see their moves so clearly he block them and set up his own counter strike and before Chad and his friends could do any thing about they were on their backs howling with pain and clutching their nose’s or any thing that screamed with pain.
“Now if I hear that you have been picking on Mike, Lyra or Rukia again I’ll come back and finish the job and you will go down for a nap, a dirt nap” grinned Dante. Lyra came rushing round the corner and all she could see was Dante in the middle of Chad and his friends pain in the circle.
“Dante are you ok you sacred the crap out of me never do that again” cried Lyra
“Come here, I’m not hurt it’s like I said to mike I wont even get a scratch and look no scratch’s at all” replied Dante, moved towards Lyra and embraced her. “Stop those tear’s I’m fine now lets go get our bags and meet up with Mike and Rukia at the school gates and head into Landis ok” continued Dante
“Ok” sniffed Lyra. They started to make there way back to the tree Dante found
“When we get there I will get you any thing you want ok there’s nothing I wont get you any thing you want” told Dante
“Great but there’s only one thing I want” blushed Lyra
“Oh and what’s that?” asked Dante
“A night alone with you” blushed Lyra
“Oh sure my parents are still on holiday and the don’t get back till tomorrow afternoon so we have my place all to our selves for tonight and tomorrow morning but I still want to get you some thing from town so lets still go” grinned Dante. So Dante and Lyra went back to the tree and they found Rukia treating Mike’s cuts.
“Dante what were you thinking taking on Chad and his cronies” shouted Mike
“Calm down Mike every thing is fine and see I did not even get a scratch so me and Lyra were thinking do you want to head into Landis for the afternoon and skip the rest of school” asked Dante.
“Sure let me go and get my bag from my locker are you going to get yours as well Rukia” requested Mike
“No I don’t need to I’ve already got it but I do need to get my purse so I’ll some with you, where shall we meet you” asked Rukia
“Meet us at my place in about a hour” said Lyra
