The First Battle (3)

William begins to have a green aura around his body.

"Get on my back!" He says, bending down.

Is this serious!?

I won't care about that now...

I climb onto William's back, and he starts running quickly.

It seems that this magic increases speed!

William runs faster than usual, we should reach the carriage in a few moments!

I'm going to throw a stone thorn at the wheel to break the vehicle, and we can rescue Foguinho without having to run!

I hold the magic wand pointed at the carriage wheel.

Aiming is being a little difficult, but I think I can do it!

Forming a stone spike at the tip of the wand, I make the object spin insanely fast and fire!

The thorn is launched as if it were a shot!

My attack hits the left wheel, causing the vehicle to stagger and stop on the dirt road!

"Good one, Light!" William says.

William deactivates the air magic that makes him faster, and I get off his back and start running.

Arriving close to the carriage, I see that the vehicle has a cabin covered with a large blue cloth, as if it were a curtain.

A man starts to come out from the side, he is bald and wearing beige clothes with a collar and loose brown pants. His physique is not muscular, but it is clearly defined. He carries a sword in its sheath.

"And who are the two brats here?" He asks, looking at us as he walks towards us.

"Have you seen any fuzzy white dogs around here?" I ask looking seriously at him.

The man approaches the blue cloth that hides the interior of the cabin.

"You mean this one?" He opens the cloth, and Foguinho is there, trapped in a cage with a rope holding his mouth.

When the dog watches us, his tail starts to wag, and he starts to let out a little cry.

"This dog already has an owner." William says.

"What do you intend to do with him?" I ask.

"I knew you would follow. I saw you following the princess." He says. "Don't you think the princess' dog is worth a lot of money? I could ask the king for some money to rescue him." The man laughs while making fun of our faces.

"You will return it!" William exclaims.

"Make me!" The man draws his sword and tries to strike William!

William jumps back and manages to dodge. He takes the dagger that was in the sheath.

"Are you that, Yuri?" I ask as I distance myself from the man.

" Hahahaha." The man just laughs.

"I knew I should have done this alone. What do you want with me, brat?" Another man got out of the carriage and walked towards me.

A tall man with a defined jaw, with messy brown hair, but partially parted in the middle. He has a scar on his left eye; his eyes are almond-shaped and thin, with the iris being brown.

He wears a gray overcoat with a high collar, with a black shirt underneath. Not only that, but he wears black pants with a brown belt. His boots are large and made of brown leather.

He has an athletic body and wears several bracelets and rings on his fingers, in addition to having a black earring in his ears.

Lastly, he has a sword stored in its sheath.

He positions himself to advance towards me.

I can't leave it!

With my free hand, I make roots come out of the ground and grab Yuri's foot!

I'm a little far away, so the magic shouldn't be that strong!

I can take this opportunity to arrest the man who is attacking William.

I look to the side, and William is dodging all the man's attacks.

Aiming at his right foot, I make a small root intertwine with the man's foot.

The man attacks, but is trapped and unable to reach William.

My brother then advances, jumps, and tries to cut the man's face with the dagger!

He dodges, and the blow grazes the cheek on the right side!

I look ahead, and Yuri passes me, drawing his sword, heading towards William.

"Looks like you're having a bit of trouble, Kaleb." Yuri says.

"William!" Yuri raises his sword, but I run and push him, so he and I fall!

Kaleb, Yuri's partner, raises his sword and tries to strike William, but he blocks it with the dagger!

The impact is so strong that it makes William fall backwards!
