The Red Pike
Siyu's Story
Chapter 7
Siyu sat in a tree keeping watch, Xiaochou perched on his shoulder. Below on the beach sat Christopher and Tyrana next to a fire. The was an army of terror birds and dire bears stationed around their temporary camp. He looked up at the Redwoods in the distance. Once again, Nerva had caught them off guard and now they were all paying the price. The Demon King had lost its temper in the midst of the fight and destroyed his home, killing Harvey who was still inside. His friend was dead. Nerva had taken it too far.
Xiaochou shrieked at the sky. Siyu looked up. In the distance, heading towards them was a soldier on a pteranodon. One of Nerva's scouts, no doubt looking for them. Nocking an arrow, her aimed at the air in front of the scout and released. The ptera dropped to the ground, the soldier falling off its back. The scout's scream was cut off by a loud thud and crack as he hit the ground. Siyu lowered his bow. That would by them a little time, but Nerva would be here soon. Tyrana and Christopher stood. "What was that?" Christopher said, reaching for his gauntlets.
"One of Nerva's men." Siyu leapt from the tree and kicked sand over the fire to put out the flames and extinguish the light. "Get ready. Nerva won't be far behind."
Tyrana whistled to her tames, turning them agressive. Christopher put on his gauntlets. Siyu grabbed a bag filled with grenades from the ground. He had taken Xiaochou's proficient aim at throwing poo and decided to teach him to throw grenades instead. The would need all the help they could get. Siyu slung his bow over his shoulder and drew his sword. War was coming, and they would be ready.
