History and Daggers

"Wait, wait, let me get this right." Ty said as he and Sky walked down the long hallway together. "You're more than 270 years old, even though you look like you're in yours twenties-"
"I'm twenty-five."

"Right, okay. And you were put into a coma after the squids defeated you?!" Sky sighed and shook his head.

"Look, here's the story. When I was seventeen, I made the Sky Army to fight against the squids, which had been terrorizing the land and taking land from Minecraftia. Minecraftia itself was basically at war. There were a bunch of kingdoms, and every time the King and Queen died it was rare when their child, if they had a child, took the throne. So many people were fighting for their own power that the ones who do some things hardly gave a shit whether or not the squids were pillaging villages and killing innocent people. So, I finally realized that since no one else was gonna do something, I had to.

"I got my Generals, and soldiers, and fought against the squids for four years. In the very last battle we were overpowered and we had to fall back. Many soldiers were dead and wounded, and we knew the squids had won. My friend, known as Teresa, who was a Sorcerer, told me that there was this spell that she could perform to protect Minecraftia. But it came with a price. If she did use the spell, someone would have to fall into a deep coma to keep the force field that would be put around Minecraftia. Since Minecraftia was such a large place at the time, it would need a lot of energy. That meant it had to be someone strong." Sky sighed.

"I volunteered. It was my fault we had lost because of my stubbornness and stupidity. I was strong enough, I had plenty of energy that would keep that force field up for thousands and thousands of years if it had to. But if I was ever awoken or the force field was somehow destroyed, the energy would be gone and Minecraftia would be vulnerable to the squids. But the magic kept me alive and young, so that if that ever happened I would be here to protect Minecraftia once again." He stopped as they came to the door, turning to Ty. "Do you understand that?"

Ty stared at him blankly, then slowly nodded. "I... Yes." Sky rolled his eyes and put his hand on the door handle.

"Dead's bloodline has also gotten more stupid." He muttered before he pushed open the door and he stepped out. Ty followed, sighing in relief. He looked at Sky, who was blinking rapidly and covering his eyes. He smirked.

"First time out in the sunlight huh old man?" Sky glared at Ty as he shielded his eyes.

"This old man could kick your ass in under thirty seconds." He said, and Ty rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I doubt that-" Before he could finish Sky kicked Ty in the ankle, making him yelp before he fell to one knee. Sky kicked him in the stomach, making him wheeze as he fell back. Sky snorted and turned away.

"Dead's blood line has gotten weaker too." He muttered to himself, before a dagger suddenly whizzed past his face, a faint stream of green following it. He blinked, before he turned and stared down at Ty with a raised eyebrow. Ty glared at him from the ground, the dagger zipping back to his hand. Sky smirked. He recognized those magics and moves.

"You're a BladeDancer." Ty blinked in surprise.

"How do you know...?"

"Ha, the BladeDancers began in the 1700s! You still protecting people?"

"Um... No."

Sky stopped and narrowed his eyes. "Excuse me?" Ty sighed and got up.

"The BladeDancers are nothing but crooks and thieves! They have been for hundreds of years!" Ty said, shrugging. "No one likes up, they all fear us. Con artists usually ask us to steal an item back for them or maybe a wife wants her husband murdered; we do anything to get our hands on some money." Sky stared at Ty. "Why are you so surprised? It's been that way since the beginning!" Ty said, and Sky narrowed his eyes.

"No, no it wasn't. BladeDancers were respected and loved, they were kind and generous people who lived to serve and help! Their code told them to kill only for protection and not for honor, and to protect everyone who is good!" Ty blinked in surprise.

"That's not what I was trained to be... Kill for the score and money, and destroy anyone who got in your way!" Sky glared at him.

"I knew the Leader and Creator of the BladeDancer, he would be disgusted with the way it has turned."
"Hey, don't think I'm proud of it! I was born into the BladeDancers! I didn't have a choice but to join them!"

"Well then why aren't you there now?!"
"..."

Ty looked away, and Sky raised an eyebrow. "Well? I can tell this is squid territory, since you were being chased and hunted down by those two idiots." Ty sighed and crossed his arms.

"Look, its none of your business."

"Actually, it is."

Sky and Ty glared at each other for a long time, before Ty finally growled. "Fine, since you seem to love getting into people's business... I was kicked out. My partner framed me for something that I didn't do. He told the leaders that I had been taking money from our contracts with people and taking it for myself. He put a small sack of coins in my quarters and everything. I didn't do it though! The only reason I care is because next month I was supposed to get my second dagger from my dagger, but of course I'm not going to get it now, and using only one dagger is so stupid and hard!" Ty pushed himself to his feet and crossed his arms. "I'm thinking about breaking into the main base and stealing the dagger that was made for me, but that would be suicide. It's heavily guarded and my dagger would be in the main leader's room!" Sky stared at Ty, then looked away.

"I'll help you." Ty blinked and looked at him with surprise.

"What?!"

"I said I'll help you, alright?! Where are their main quarters?"
"... It's in New Mine City, the back allies. The city is about a three hour walk from here..."

"Great, exercise. You look like you could use it."

Ty's mouth dropped open as Sky walked past him, making Ty glare after him. He grumbled and walked after him, sulking slightly from the insult.

"Its called baby fat, jerk..."
