CHAPTER TWO

BROKEN VILLAGE

CELTIC GUARDIAN

Meanwhile, Celtic Guardian and Mystical Elf raced across the meadow towards Celtic's village. “Are…you…sure…it's true?” Celtic asked panting.

“Of course, why would I lie about this?”

The both of them went over a final hill, but they were too late.

“Oh no!”

His once quiet and peaceful village was now a blazing inferno. Houses flamed, the streets were turned black with ash, and smoke grew like a mountain above.

“This is terrible!” Celtic said in horror.

“I saw a lot of people run into the forest when this happened, but there maybe some survivors left in there.” replied his friend. They continued their mad race down the hill to the burning town.

Unfortunately, the village was even worse at close range. It appeared at first that no one had survived the assault. Ravaged bodies cluttered the streets along with broken swords and blood. Whatever attacked the village had been very through.

“Kale! Kale…where are you?!” Celtic called out with worry and desperation.

Another Warrior, dressed much like Celtic, ran out of one of the flaming huts and collapsed on the charcoal covered road.

“Kale!” Celtic Guardian rushed to the other Warrior's side and lifted him from the ashes.

“Celtic…you made it…I…knew…you would.” said the younger elf between heavily strained breaths. He looked almost identical to Celtic, except he was about half his age, nearly fourteen or so. The marks on his cheeks were smaller and his some locks in his hair was three times longer than the rest.

“Little brother, what happened here? Why is our village in shambles?” Celtic asked while bringing his brother to his feet.

“I don't know, it happened so fast. All I know is that a huge ball of energy came out of nowhere and hit the village. Then some heavy winds came and fanned the flames, making them bigger. We couldn't stop it. Ahh, another blast, more flames, more wind…ahh.”

The younger Guardian was getting weaker by the minuet. Celtic knew he had to get him out of there, “Tell me, are there other survivors?”

“Yes. Practically all of us. Most fled to the forest, but a few stayed to protect our homes.”

“Thank goodness.”

“When I saw you this morning, I thought that you had escaped from the village during the attack. I was frightened, but I didn't want to remind you of the tragedy. Foolishly, I thought that if I acted normally it would make you forget what happened to day, if only for a moment.” Mystical Elf said regrettably as she helped Celtic carry his brother. He smiled, “Thanks, it would have helped if I've known about this.”

Suddenly.

Swift!

“AARRCHESS!!!” (OK that's a lame roar, don't flame me)

A high screeching sound came from the sky above. All three looked up. A horrifying image circle around the destroyed village, quickly decreasing altitude. Mystical Elf yelled, “What is that?!”

“I don't know, and I don't want to be here to find out!” Celtic Guardian said as he lifted Kale in his arms and ran as fast as he could, with Mystical Elf not far behind. But the object plunged into the village before they could get far. A huge shockwave hit, throwing all three of them into a burned-out stable.

“AAHHH!!”

CRASH!

SMASH!

Celtic flew into a broken rafter. The other two fell safely on a straw pile. The Elvin warrior struggled to maintain consciousness as more boards and planks began to pile on top of him. “(Cough, cough, cough) Is everyone alright?”

Mystical Elf threw her head from the straw trying to keep her large crown on, “I'm alright, but I'm afraid your brother isn't doing so well.”

The dust slowly faded away. They could finally see what had crashed in upon them.

It was almost the size of a large mansion, huge sharp claws, massive wings, and bluish white scales. (Lame details but we all know what it is.)

“Celtic, please tell me that is not what I think it is?” Mystic said as she scooted toward Kale.

Celtic pushed a few boards out of his face and dragged himself from the rubble. He looked up, his body froze with sheer terror as he faced the most fierce and terrifying monster in all Duelist World. “How can this be…? It's impossible…The Blue Eyes White Dragon!” (Go fig)

Indeed it was the Blue Eyes White Dragon. A powerful monster that is so rare…that no one has ever truly seen one. Or if they did….live to tell the tale.

“I don't understand. Why would a Blue Eyes come here? It doesn't make sense.”

The creature slithered through the village, pacing, sniffing around for any kind of prey, knocking down brittle buildings with the slap of its tale.

“That must have been what attacked us,” Kale said very weakly, “That has to be it.”

The white dragon turned and headed toward the stable. It stuck its head across the door and started sniffing the interior.

Celtic watched in fear as it slowly moved its head in the direction of his comrades. It briefly licked its jaws then lunged toward them.

“NO! leave them alone!” Grabbing his sword, he jumped in front of the dragon and slashed it across the nose.

“Celtic are you crazy?! You're not strong enough to challenge it!” Mystical Elf shouted to him.

But Celtic didn't listen, “Stay back!” he warned, thrusting his mighty sword forward in a threatening gesture. “Stay back!”

The Dragon just stared at him, confused.

Celtic Guardian positioned himself to strike again. Looking at his opponent dead in the eye, his sword shook slightly from the previous attack almost to the point of breaking. Nevertheless, he raised it higher, clinching tightly.

Inexplicably, the Blue Eyes White Dragon then turned around, left the stable and flew away from the devastated town. Celtic stood stunned and in shock, sweat running down his face.

Mystical Elf stood next to him as a group of Aqua monsterscame to extinguish the flames.

Then they both carefully carried Celtic's wounded brother outside from the stable to a wagon so he could be taken to the city for emergency care. But Celtic Guardian knew their troubles weren't over yet. He turned toward Mystical elf and held her by the shoulders, “Mystic. I have to go with my brother to Sogen City.”

She stared at him surprised, “What?”

“Whatever id going on here, I doubt this will be the last of our troubles.”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive, and we'll need to be prepared for for whatever might happen next.”

Mystical Elf grabbed him by the arms, “But Celtic, do you even think anyone would listen to you, or would believe that a Blue Eyes White Dragon just came along and plundered your village? Evan I'm having a hard time believing it.”

“Me too. But it's the only way to prevent more disasters like this. My people might have been lucky, but who knows what could happen the next time that monster decides to attack.”

She faced away from him stubbornly. She didn't like his prediction of further danger, but she knew she couldn't stop him from going. Slowly Mystic released him, still looking away.

“Thank you.”

“I'll have some of Father's soldiers come to gather the other villagers. It'll be a long time before we can restore our home back o the way it was.”

Celtic softly kissed her on the cheek, and headed off with his brother, unaware that he would soon begin an ordeal that no other monster had ever faced.
