I stood there frozen with fear. But why was I so scared? Obviously Dan was playing a prank on me because I killed Darry ten years ago!

“Haha okay Dan you got me, but only for a second!” I said hoping that it was a joke
“Riku I am not joking! After Kyle was killed by someone…” he was cut off
“Jenny killed him.” I said with sadness
“Oh, well as I was saying! After he died, his gang members needed a new leader and Darry was the best they had. So they casted healing spells and incantations for months trying to bring him back alive. After he finally recovered, he started building his army and preparing to attack the towns of Orbis one by one!”

I was standing there with my wide open in disbelief. “No! It’s not possible! Darry can’t be alive. But what if he is!” were one of the thought that was racing in my head.

“Riku? Yoohoo, anyone home?” Dan asked snapping his fingers in my face
“Oh, kinda spaced out for a second.”
“Well!? Are you gonna help our town or not?”
“I-I can’t Dan. I refuse to let my family get hurt because of some dumb decision I make!” I yelled at him
“Are you saying that me, my family, or my town for the matter is nothing worrying about?” he asked in tears
“I-I just can’t Dan. I am sorry.” and i walked off back to the market

I tried as hard as I could to get the though of Darry and the town out of my head. As I approached the store Jenny and Jason were shopping in, they right away came out. Jason ran to me and I lifted him into my arms.

“Did you have a good time shopping with Mommy Jason?” I asked him in a funny voice
He giggled “Yes!”
I put him down and he went over to play with one of our neighbor’s pets that she was walking.

“Honey? Are you okay you seem worried?” Jenny asked me sofly
“It’s nothing we have to worry about. Cmon lets go home.” I assured her giving her a kiss on the cheek

I just couldn’t get Darry, Orbis, Dan, and his town out of my head that night. I quietly got out of bed trying not to wake Jenny. I crept up to the attic and opened a large chest. Inside was my Doombringer. I lifted it up and almost dropped it because it was so heavy.

“I guess I am out of shape old friend. I can’t even lift you anymore.” I whispered to myself
The thoughts were still racing in my head as I stared at my weapon.
“What should I do! What should I do!” I screamed in my mind
