My days with JP grew quite numerous, and the battle had left the town leaving an eerie tranquility. People were still coming into the hospital, but not all were injured or sick, they were seeking inspiration. The only two inspirations that were within a 50 mile radius. Many began coming to the hospital as visitors, they always came in awaiting a show of power, and to listen to our stories. In order to lease everyone, we came up with a system, start with stories over the battle we had ended in Cratos, then we'd talk about our stories of how we came into being, found eachother, and hardships that we went through before we met each other. After allowing all the questions to fade away, and a break, we'd give them a show over the course of nightfall, from physical combat, to chess games throughout the period. This had allowed us to spar a bit, and hone our skills, while we pleased the crowd, two birds vs. one stone I guess.
It had been about a month after having been discovered by the town that we finally began to move on. We had recruited few people, only five really. We wanted to have the best backup possible, meaning they had to be stealthy, strong, durable, brave and had to be within our power range overall.
Almost everyone was heartbroken towards our leave, but they all knew the circumstance all too well. So leaving was hard we finally left at noon, everyone was happy that we were aiming for the destruction of Carnaso, I almost felt like staying to tell you the truth, but distant gunshots had been a constant reminder of why we had to leave.
It was nightfall once more, a campfire was made at the top of the hill just before reaching the battle site. We all reminesced about our families, told jokes, it was amost like we were at camp to tell you the truth. The five recruits finally dropped like flies one went down, and then the rest followed behind quickly. Giving both me and JP a REAL chance to talk.
"The last moments of tranquility we'll get for a while. Underneath a starry sky, full moon, stream and forest nearby, no gunshots, and fireflies wisking dreams about the recruits. Amazng, isn't it?" I had said in a calm tone. "There will be more times like this, that I can assure you Skold. Besides, if we were to not go into battle, this blessed tranquility would become even harder to find. Sleeping without the constant noise of gunshots ringing in your ear is more of a blessing thanyou think." JP returned. "Hmmm.... What will we do after the war? After all, that means peace will once again be restored, not to mention no more fighting." I had said. "Yes that will be a blessing, no more fighting." JP broke in. "I know that I should like the idea, but things would get boring after peace would be restored wouldn't it? I mean I like to fight every once in a while, and I really like it when I can get into it with my opponent." I had finished. "You'll have me as your sparring patner, don't worry about fighting. Now go to sleep Skold, we need to be ready for the battle ahead." She said. "I'm too psyched to sleep dang it! I mean it's a war there compared to what we went through!" I had returned. She didn't really respond, she just sang that grand lullaby for me, something I've been waiting to hear once again since we first battled.
