 Chapter 9: Harsh Lesson 



 There was complete silence among Drake’s group and the Cheshire Cat Blair. Eye’s glaring at one another with shock and killing intent.



 “You’re going to fight us?” John questioned



 “Don’t wory I’m not here to kill you. You can say my Mistress sent me to train you to help increase your chances of survival.” Replied Blair



 “Train us?” asked Kara in confusion



 “Mistress?” Galen Mumbled



<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in"> Drake slowly walks closer to Blair “How….did you know of our quest?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “I have been watching you for a while and to be blunt” Blair’s voice begins losing all cheerfulness “I could have killed you all easily, without you ever becoming aware of my presence”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Don’t get ahead of yourself Blair. I know how to fight, Drake and John are veteran soldiers even though Drake has no memories of it.” Said Kara

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Veteran soldiers…know how to fight. If you are serious, then I hate to say this dear, but you’ve been wasting your time.” Blair replied annoyed

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:black;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Kara sighs “Give us time and I'm certain we'll be up to fighting strength again...Why were you watching us anyway?” <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-style-textoutline-type: none;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth:0pt;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap: flat;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join:round;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit: 0%;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash:solid;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align: center;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound:simple;mso-effects-shadow-color: black;mso-effects-shadow-themecolor:dark1;mso-effects-shadow-alpha:40.0%; mso-effects-shadow-dpiradius:3.0pt;mso-effects-shadow-dpidistance:1.5pt; mso-effects-shadow-angledirection:2700000;mso-effects-shadow-align:topleft; mso-effects-shadow-pctsx:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-pctsy:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-anglekx: 0;mso-effects-shadow-angleky:0">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Time is a luxury that no one has in ample supply. What if I was an enemy? I would not have introduced myself and you would all be bleeding on the floor. As for why, I was observing you, I don’t think you deserve such information. The fact remains though is not a single one of you will get past me until I believe you are ready.” Blair replied as her hands glow violet and touched the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Kara calm down. Blair I admit we’re rough around the edges and we appreciate the offer for you to train us but please understand the reason. At this point we just want to get to the valley of Fangs or to the nearest village. Plus this area isn’t safe for training (Looks at the woods noticing the dolls quietly watching) Once these woods fade those dolls will be free again.” Said Drake

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair flicks her hand and all of the dolls are pulled into the darkness by something violet.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “That point is no longer valid.” Blair Replied as an enormous amount of chains emerges from the ground locking the forest in a cage of chains. “That should last for several day’s”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Off in the distance Arcana is watching the group from a distance.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Pity that’s only temporary. Otherwise I wouldn’t be stuck here (Yawns and relaxes on the tree branch) let’s see how this plays out.” Arcana mumbled to herself

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “The dolls no longer currently relevant. Now back to the task at hand. The sooner you accept my training the sooner I leave, so when this ends is up to you.” Blair said waiting for a response.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “I’m tired of this (Draws both daggers) MOVE OR BE MOVED!” yelled Kara

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> As Drake realizes the inevitable his hand begins to tremble.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “What the? (Clenches his hand) why am I trembling…I’m not afraid…but excited..why?” Drake mumbled to himself.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Who knows? So come at me anyway you want. Try to keep in mind the rules of combat.” Said Blair taking her fighting stance.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” replied Kara as she rushes towards Blair until she’s about a foot away before rolling to her left reveling an arrow behind her that was shot by Galen

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair catches the arrow out of midair like a bug then suddenly Kara does a sweep kick on Blair. Blair vanishes when the kick is a centimeter away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair reappears behind Kara knocking her back with a backhand strike “Rule 1 know your opponent.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Kara begins to grin “You’re not the first Cheshire I fought.” (John tosses a smoke bomb at their feet.)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair closes her eyes and kicks Kara sends her flying.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Drake stands between Kara and Blair in a fighting stance waiting for Blair’s next move.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “STAND DOWN NOW!” Yelled Drake

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair and Drake briefly vanishes before reappearing. Blair has Drake pinned down to the ground with her claws by his neck.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “That was incredibly stupid.” Growled Blair as she tosses Drake at Kara as if he was a rag doll.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Kara dodges Drake before nearly falling into a pitfall as Blair changed her position. “Rule 2 be mindful of your surroundings.” Growled Blair as her hands glow violet and liquid begins to seep from her claws. Within seconds Blair begins dashing at Galen running on all fours.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair was inches away from Galen when suddenly John hits Blair with his war hammer.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Kara hurry and Recover (notices Blair gone) WHERE SHE GO!?” John Yelled

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair suddenly appears behind John and scratches his back slightly.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “That simple scratch will cause extreme pain but luckily it’s not dangerous.” Blair said before dashing at Galen again.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Right before Blair gains any distance she gets hit by a fireball cast by Kara.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “GALEN GET OUT OF THERE!” yelled Kara.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> In a split second Blair appears in front of Kara and slashes her stomach. “NEVER LET YOUR OPPONENT DICTATE THA PACE OF BATTLE!” Yelled Blair in frustration of the group’s arrogance.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Suddenly a sword gets thrown into her leg causing Blair to fall to her knee

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “I’M STILL IN THIS FIGHT!”  Yelled Drake.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair pulls the sword out of her leg “If you had the element of surprise, you should make it a fatal blow.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Anyone can kill. It takes a true warrior to beat his enemies without having to take their life.” Drake groaned as he falls to his knees.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair grabs Kara by the throat and smashes her into the ground. Galen tosses a knife to Drake as she attempts to heal John.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair Sighs “Mercy is a virtue only those with power have the right to (Stares at Galen) the pain is psychological not physical girl.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">''' “I CAN SEE THAT! ''' ” Galen Growled trying to keep focus

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Drake limps over to Kara and helps her up “Kara get up.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair appears before Galen and slashes her stomach “If you have time to talk you have time to act.” Galen falls to the ground in pain as John move to protect her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “I think the sad truth is that you are more insane than me.” Mumbled Blair as she uses a knee crush on John before turning to face Drake and Kara.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> As Drake watches his friends slowly getting defeated he begins gripping his knife tighter in anger causing red runes to begin glowing on the dagger.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair’s whole body begins glowing in violet light.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Kara begins standing up “Drake careful we’re the last ones standing”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “I know.” Drake Replied.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair conjures a mirror “Try reflecting on the battle.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Drake and Kara brace themselves before Kara notices the runes on the Drake’s dagger.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Blair notices the runes and begins thinking to herself “Those runes could be his ruin or salvation. Let’s see which one it will be.” The mirror begins to slowly unravel into a set of chains that slowly begins to drape around Blair’s body like a cloth.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Drake begins thinking to himself “This isn’t good. My leg is messed up, John and Galen are down, and now Kara is nearly drained.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Kara whispers to Drake “Drake by me time.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Kara closes her eyes and begins chanting a spell when suddenly chains shoot up from underground clamping on Kara’s neck and pulls her to the ground hard.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Another rule of combat don’t announce you’re going to do something big.” Blair points at her cat ears “Even if they’re merely whispers you never know who else is could be listening.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> The chains around Kara’s neck starts to constrict slowly choking her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “LET HER GO! (The runes on the dagger begins glowing brighter as Drake breaks one of the chains with his knife) what the? Drake mumbled before getting ready to cut another chain off Kara.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"> Suddenly more chains emerge from the ground clamping around Drake's neck and smash him into the ground <span style="font-size:10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica; color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-style-textoutline-type:none;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth: 0pt;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap:flat;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join: round;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit:0%;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash: solid;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align:center;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound: simple;mso-effects-shadow-color:black;mso-effects-shadow-themecolor:dark1; mso-effects-shadow-alpha:40.0%;mso-effects-shadow-dpiradius:3.0pt;mso-effects-shadow-dpidistance: 1.5pt;mso-effects-shadow-angledirection:2700000;mso-effects-shadow-align:topleft; mso-effects-shadow-pctsx:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-pctsy:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-anglekx: 0;mso-effects-shadow-angleky:0">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"> Drake try’s pushing himself off the ground only to feel the chains clamp tighter around him making it difficult for him to breath. <span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-style-textoutline-type: none;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth:0pt;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap: flat;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join:round;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit: 0%;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash:solid;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align: center;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound:simple;mso-effects-shadow-color: black;mso-effects-shadow-themecolor:dark1;mso-effects-shadow-alpha:40.0%; mso-effects-shadow-dpiradius:3.0pt;mso-effects-shadow-dpidistance:1.5pt; mso-effects-shadow-angledirection:2700000;mso-effects-shadow-align:topleft; mso-effects-shadow-pctsx:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-pctsy:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-anglekx: 0;mso-effects-shadow-angleky:0">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> "If you have to let a comrade die, to ensure the rest survives, or to defeat an enemy, then you should let them die." Said Blair as she watches Drake struggling with the chains trying to stay on his knees.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;">  “I would... (Cough) rather give my life for theirs before I let that (Struggling to talk) Happen.” Replied Drake as he falls to the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"> "If the entire point of this quest is about you, then how would dying serve the rest of the group’s wishes?" Asked Blair before thinking to herself "I’m getting the feeling that none of this is sinking in"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Drake begins lifting his off the ground “How would I live with myself....if I don't try..... Galen heals the injured.....John makes tools for the weak...Kara protects the innocent...I'm just a human that’s...” Drake Replied weakly before passing out

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"> After a few minutes Blair shatters the chains holding Drake and Kara.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"> "Ugh I did not think they were that weak. (sighs) Apparently I was right about their training, it really was a waste if they couldn’t even handle a little skirmish like this……What should I do now?" Mumbled Blair as she looks over her fallen opponents

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> Suddenly a voice calls out to Blair.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Blair what are you doing?” Asked a white rabbit Mamono appearing out of the bushes

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> "I was trying to educate them on the ways of combat, through actual experience, but I think I was a bit too rough on them." Blair blushes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:107%"> “Sometimes lessons have to be harsh to make a point.” Sighed the white rabbit

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt0.25in;line-height:13.65pt;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"> "I did not get the impression that they learned anything though?" replied Blair. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-bidi-font-family:Helvetica; color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-style-textoutline-type:none;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth: 0pt;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap:flat;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join: round;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit:0%;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash: solid;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align:center;mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound: simple;mso-effects-shadow-color:black;mso-effects-shadow-themecolor:dark1; mso-effects-shadow-alpha:40.0%;mso-effects-shadow-dpiradius:3.0pt;mso-effects-shadow-dpidistance: 1.5pt;mso-effects-shadow-angledirection:2700000;mso-effects-shadow-align:topleft; mso-effects-shadow-pctsx:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-pctsy:100.0%;mso-effects-shadow-anglekx: 0;mso-effects-shadow-angleky:0">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.65pt;"> “Don't know ask the Queen. Oh speaking of which what happened to you?” Asked the rabbit curiously.
