Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Change in Tides ❯ Sisterly advice ( Chapter 11 )

The morning came quickly for the Sun Warriors as they rose to complete a little training before breakfast and then go their separate ways till sunset. Ryo was the first to wake but it was the sound of metal on metal that woke him. He noticed that Cale and the other Warlords were gone. “Kento, Sage, Cye, Rowen wake up.” Slowly the other Ronins woke up.

 

“What's up Ryo?” Kento rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

 

“You hear that?” The group sat in silence as the listen to the constant sound of metal hitting metal.

 

“What is that?” Sage opened the door to look down the hall. No one was in the hallway but the sound became louder. “I'm going to go look.” Sage walked down the hallway until he came to a large window that revealed a type of battle room. Sage looked back to see that the others had followed him. Inside the room were Neptune and Pluto. They both looked tired and yet they still lunged at each other. Pluto's hair laid flat against his head while Neptune's hair was drenched in her sweat. “What are they doing?”

 

“Practicing.” The group jumped slightly and turned to see Swanalow smiling at them. “My young ones are always sparing against each other. But come now you all must be hungry.” Swanalow began to walk away but stopped and turned back to face the five boys. “But first let's get you changed.” Swanalow snapped her fingers and magically the Ronins' clothes changed.

 

“That is so cool that you can do that.” Kento stared down at the orange shirt and jeans that he now wore.

 

“If you say so young warrior, now come let's not keep Beauty waiting.” Swanalow led the Ronins into the dinning room. Beauty smiled at the Ronins as she set food out on the table for them and made sure Kento had more then the others. Swanalow explained how Kayura and the others left because of business in the Nether realm and that Mia was with Green Hawk for the day. The Ronins ate in silence as Swanalow merely sipped at the cup in front of her. After a very long period of silence a young man entered the dining room and bowed to Swanalow.

 

“My princess the young ones have all departed for the day.”

 

“Thank you Dachi but where have they all gone?” Sage noticed that she called the young man dachi, which normally was connected to swords not names.

 

“Sun went with Red and White Hawk to Dragon's Island. Saturn and Uranus went to see your sister about some kind of security measures. Neptune left to see your brother and Pluto went to Winters Island. Starfire is training young Prince Hunter and Moonstriker is with Blueheart. They will return by night fall.” Cye felt his heart sink when he realized he wouldn't be able to speak with Moonstriker.

 

“Thank you Dachi. Is there anything else?” Swanalow looked over at Cye seeing his hurt expression.

 

“No my lady.” Dachi quickly turned and left the room.

 

“Something wrong young Torrent?” Cye looked at Swanalow.

 

“No princess I was just hoping to learn more about your world.” Swanalow knew Cye was lying but figure it was a good reason especially with the way Starfire and Moonstriker were talking this morning. Swanalow knew something happened between the two water warriors.

 

“Do not worry I'm sure you can learn plenty from Green and Orange Hawk.” Sage looked at Swanalow then down at his plate.

 

“Swanalow how did Green Hawk become blind?” Swanalow looked at Sage as if she was surprised by his question. “I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked.”

 

“No it's all right Halo I'm just not use to that type of question. Green Hawk lost her sight in return for another's life.” Ryo gave Swanalow a confused look. “A young one died and Thorac, the god of death, came to take her soul, but Green Hawk gave Thorac her sight in return for the young one's life.” Kento sat with his mouth hanging open full of food. “Shut you mouth Hardrock.” Kento did as Swanalow said.

 

“So where can we find those two?” Rowen stood up ready to leave.

 

“Green Hawk will be down the hall way to your right or Orange Hawk is back towards your rooms.” Swanalow stood and began to leave. “The young ones will return just before the sun sets.” Before any of the Ronins could reply to the princess she was gone.

 

“So now what do we do?”

 

“Well you could come with me.” The five warriors looked up to see Orange Hawk leaning against the doorframe.

 

“Hey Orange Hawk. What are you doing today?” Cye looked at Kento and shook his head.

 

“Nothin' actually. The Sun Warriors won't be back till dusk so I have nothin' to do really. So do you guys want the official tour or what?” Ryo nodded and stood. Soon the other Ronins stood and waited for Orange Hawk to lead them around the castle. “Well where should we start? The library probably is a good choice. Sun spends most of her time in there.” Orange Hawk led them into the large room that they had seen yesterday.

 

“Why would Sun spend time in here?” Kento lifted one of the books off a nearby table. Orange Hawk sat on the table and grabbed the book from Kento's hands.

 

“She's our diplomat. She's the one who keeps peace between all our allies. She's the brains of the group.” Rowen looked at Orange Hawk in curiosity. “Sun has always been the brains and she's the youngest too. At least she is able to handle all her responsibilities.” Orange Hawk walked out the room and looked back over his shoulder. “Come on I'll show you somethin' interestin' about the young ones.”

 

The group walked through many hallways until they stopped out side a door that had strange writing on the outside of it. “Orange Hawk where are we?” Ryo tilted his head to the side as he looked at the door.

 

“This is Sun's room.” Orange Hawk pushed the door open and stepped in. The room was colored in different shades of purple and the there wasn't much to the room. Above the bed was a beautiful silver bow. Rowen was awe struck by it.

 

“Sun can use a bow?” Orange Hawk chuckled slightly.

 

“She was known as Silver Hawk the Hawk warrior of animals; wielder of the bow. Kind of like the goddess Diana that you hear about in Roman myths.” Orange Hawk looked around the room with a confused look on his face.

 

“What's up Orange Hawk you look confused?” Kento stepped next to the young warrior.

 

“Saturn must have found out that I would show you guys around but Uranus wouldn't be able to cast spell big enough to hide everythin', so that means that this is all an illusion create by Star.” Kento raised his eyebrow to Orange Hawk. “So that means if I know Sun like I do then…” The Ronins watched as Orange Hawk grabbed a large textbook from the small table near the bed out of thin air. Slowly the room began to change revealing pictures, books, and other things. “Yup I'm good.” Orange Hawk smiled at himself. Sage looked at a small silver picture frame with two girls and one boy. They looked like younger versions of the Sun and her siblings but that was impossible because it looked like they were in their world.

 

“Orange Hawk who is this?” Orange Hawk took the picture from Sage and sighed.

 

“This is Sun, Saturn, and Pluto in their mortal forms and in the mortal world when they were younger. Like you they can travel between worlds, Sun is just an ordinary fifteen year old girl. Seein' her you would never think that she is a warrior of fire.” Orange Hawk returned the frame to its original spot and walked out of the room.

 

“Hey Orange was it something we said?” Ryo didn't want to make their new friend upset.

 

“Nah, it's nothin' really come on I'll show you Saturn and Uranus rooms.” Orange Hawk showed the Ronins the rooms of the other warriors.

 

“Hey Orange why is it that Sun is the only one with a room to herself? I mean the twins make sense but Saturn and Uranus. Neptune and Pluto. It doesn't all fit.”

 

“Saturn and Uranus are best friends as are Neptune and Pluto. So it makes sense that they would be livin' together.” Orange Hawk looked over at Cye and began to wonder what was on the boys mind. When they entered the twins room Cye was amazed by Moonstriker's side of the room and began to play twenty questions with Orange Hawk. Which normally wouldn't bother him but they were questions about what kind of flowers she liked and other stuff like that. Orange Hawk had a really hard time seeing this guy falling for Moonstriker; it just didn't happen to the young water guardian. Saturn, Uranus, even Sun, but never the guardians. “Anymore questions Cye?” Cye blushed at Orange Hawk and shook his head. “Well the sun is sinkin' in the sky so they should be home soon. Get some rest.” Orange Hawk left the Ronins and began to plot against Cye and Moonstriker.

 

“So now what do we do?” Rowen wandered into their large room. Sitting on his bed Rowen thought about what Orange Hawk said about Sun. “Hey guys don't you think its odd how Sun and I are both the youngest and smartest of our groups?” Sage nodded as he sat in a nearby chair and thought over the day's events.

 

“It seems like we have a lot in common with the Sun Warriors but at the same time we're completely different.” The Ronins sat in silence as they thought about what they learned. They learned that each of the young ones were given different gifts and abilities. Orange Hawk however didn't go into big details about them. Soon yelling interrupted the Ronins thoughts.

 

“Damn it Sun!” It was Pluto and he sounded mad.

 

“What's wrong big brother missing something?” Kento opened the door to see Sun run by and shortly after Pluto. Sun had a sword in her hands and was running like her life depended on it.

 

“Give back or so help me Sun!” Sun turned to face her brother and threw the sword over his head. “Damn it! How would you like it if I threw your Phoenix axe around?” Sun shrugged and ran off towards were her room was. “Sometimes I wish I was an only child.” Pluto grabbed his sword and began to follow his sister.

 

“Hey Pluto who's all back?” Kento hoped that the young prince would answer him.

 

“The twins. The others will return just before the sun sets.” Pluto never looked back at Kento and sounded annoyed by the earth Ronin. Kento wanted to reply but was interrupted by two voices coming towards him.

 

“Honestly Moon you make it sound like a big deal all you did was kiss the guy.” Starfire walked backwards so she could face her twin.

 

“It is a big deal Star. I could have seriously hurt myself and besides how do I know he feels the same?” Moonstriker looked up to see Kento looking at her and her sister. Starfire noticed her sister's face seemed to change colors quickly and turned around to find Kento staring at them while leaning out his room door, which meant Cye was near by.

 

“Well I'm sure Drake thought nothing of it.” Moonstriker looked at her sister with confusion, but quickly caught on to what her sister was doing.

 

“You're probably right.” The twins walked passed Kento and the others offering small smiles and waves towards them. As soon as they were out of sight Starfire let out the air she was holding in her lungs.

 

“That was too close for comfort.” Moonstriker just nodded and opened the door to their room. Looking around she noticed that Starfire's illusion didn't hold. “Damn Orange Hawk.” Starfire sat on her bed and waited for her sister to talk. “Come on Moon talk to me.”

 

“I'm just confused Star that's all. This doesn't happen to us.” Starfire smiled at her sister.

 

“I know, but hey maybe he feels exactly the way he said he does. He said he like you did he not?” Moonstriker just nodded. “Well then no more talk about this. Who knows maybe you two are a match in heaven. No pun intended.” The two night twins fell into silence and then into a sleep that they knew wouldn't last long.

 

Down the hall Cye laid on his bed thinking of what the twins had said. He knew that Starfire was covering for her sister and that they were really talking about him. Moonstriker I have to talk to you, but how? Maybe after dinner tonight.
