Chapter 2: The First Knight

Reggie grabbed his bag and left the Fencing club's rented out building.. He went out to the large parking lot and hurried to his car. He started the car and turned on the heater and drove off.

He soon arrived at his house and parked his car in the driveway. He honked the horn a few times and waited for his little brother, Mythily, to come outside. Soon, Mythily ran out, carrying his bookbag. He got into the passenger's side and buckled himself in.
"Hey, Reggie." Mythily said, smiling.
"Hey, lil' bro." Reggie said back. "You ready?"
"Yep." Mythily said, putting his hands in his pockets.
And with that, they drove away.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

They pulled up to Andrew's house and got out of the car. They walked into the garage through a side door. There, they found, all of the other band members with their instruments and the sound system (that Tanner had set up). Reggie greeted them in a teenagerly fashion and then sat down behind the shiny drum set.

"So, lil bro, you just need to listen to the music we've got and think of some lyrics that would go well with it, kay?" Reggie said with a big grin. Mythily nodded and got out his pen and notebook, signaling that he was ready. Reggie started off with a "one, two, three, four," and they started playing.

Mythily started thinking of some lyrics immediately. He wrote them down as quick as he could, which was pretty quick. Soon the song finished and he brought his notebook over to Reggie. Reggie looked at it, mouthing the words and tapping his foot to the beat. He gave the notebook to Jenna.

Jenna looked through it then her face immediately lit up with excitement.
"This looks perfect!" She exclaimed.
She passed the notebook to Andrew then he passed it to Ruby who passed it to Tanner who gave it back to Mythily. They all expressed how much they liked it and Tanner made a few adjustments to it. Then, they tried it.

The music started off soft then abruptly switched to a very upbeat song.
"Ah! What light through yonder window shatters, crashes and burns
Ah! What light through yonder window crunches, bunches and turns.
Ah! What noise through yonder wind brakes!" Small drum solo.
"Tell me when you'll get here, Romeo! I'm getting impatient, at least shoot me a text!
Oh Romeo, oh Romeo
Wherefore art thou, Bromeo?
I got pizza and it's getting cold, I got soda and it's getting warm. Netflix won't wait forever, yo.
I need two minds to think with those portals, Princess Zelda's gone a again, bring your Ocarina.
Ah! What light through yonder window shatters, crashes and burns
Ah! What light through yonder window crunches, bunches and turns.
Ah! What noise through yonder wind brakes!"
They ended with a lovely "ba dum tsh."

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

After a few hours of nonsense lyrics, screeching microphones and weird shenanigans, Reggie and Mythily finally went out for lunch.

They went to the "North Diner." The employees there were filled with excitement. Probably too much excitement like a
Chick-fil-a employee. They went and ordered and payed then chose a booth to sit at.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Reggie and Mythily finished their food and left. Reggie brought Mythily home and dropped him off.
"Hey, I'm gonna hang out with Talon for a while, please tell mum that's where I am." Reggie said. Mythily nodded and went inside. Reggie then drove off to his best friend, Talon's house.

Once he got there, he saw Talon lying down outside on a blanket on the grass, staring up at the cool and cloudy sky. Reggie got out of his car and walked over to Talon and lied down next to him. They smiled at each other. Soon, it started to rain, and they both closed their eyes and enjoyed the cool rain on their faces.

Once Reggie's shirt started getting really wet, he sat up and tapped Talon's forehead. The raven-haired 15 year old sat up and looked at Reggie. Talon noticed how wet they were getting so he stood up and led Reggie inside.

Talon got a cup of hot cocoa for Reggie and himself then sat down by the fireplace. Reggie sat next to him and retrieved his hot cocoa.
"So..." Reggie said, "I saw Selemon." Talon choked on his cocoa.
"B-but... Selemon's dead..!" Talon said, wiping hot cocoa off his chin.
"He fooled us, Talon. He faked it all." Reggie gripped his mug tightly. "He's going straight for Mythily. He's ignoring the rules of the game!"
"That's what we get for not bothering with the proper captural. But, anyhow, we need to get Tanner over here. He's the one who killed... Well... Almost killed Selemon." Talon said and sipped his hot cocoa. Reggie nodded, got out his phone called Tanner.

~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*

Talon handed Tanner a cup of hot cocoa and sat back down.
"Yes," Tanner said, "I ran into him too. It was quite... Dramatic. Whatever you two do, don't let Jenna know he's alive. She will throw the balance of the game and possibly confirm our deaths. She'll make history completely repeat itself if she finds out." Reggie and Talon nodded.

"Don't forget our mission, you two. We are here to protect Mythily and stop history from repeating itself. Those are our priorities in life." Tanner finished his hot cocoa. Reggie stared down into his small amount of remaining cocoa.
"Mythily's going to remember soon. Very soon." Reggie said. Tanner got up and put his hands on Reggie's shoulders.
"Don't let him out of your sight, Reggie. He'll wander off, looking for King, and get himself killed." Reggie nodded.
"I know, but that'll be difficult. Mythily's very sneaky."

Tanner rolled his eyes.
"You're even sneakier than he is, Reggie." Tanner said and brought his empty hot cocoa mug to the kitchen. Talon jumped up and followed Tanner to the kitchen, offering to wash the mug himself. Tanner let him wash it and went back to the fireplace.

"Anyways, we should plan our next step. I say we should find Chastel." Reggie said. "He's probably the easiest one." Tanner sighed.
"I suppose you're right. Their scribe doesn't remember yet and we've only made three moves all together so even if their scribe did remember he couldn't do anything." Tanner leaned back against the couch. Reggie froze.

"That also means Mythily can't protect himself either!" Reggie jumped up and ran out the door, Talon following immediately.
"Mythily, you don't know that! Ugh!" Tanner said and followed them.

Reggie jumped into his car and let Talon and Tanner get in then drove to his house. When he pulled up to his house, he saw a window was broken. He jumped out of his car, not even bothering to close the door and ran in, unlocking the door using his key. Tanner and Talon followed. 

After Reggie entered, he saw his mom passed out on the floor. He quickly picked her up and brought her to her room. Soon, Reggie heard a thump and a scream and he recognized the scream had belonged to his little brother. He ran out of his mom's room and towards Mythily's room.

"Reggie! Mom! Someone! Help!" Mythily screamed. Mythily was slung over the shoulder of the same man in white they saw on their way back from the library. Mythily was kicking with all his might, but it was in vain. The man didn't even bat an eye at Mythily's attempts to escape.
