Chapter 2: Flashback

-----------------------



Govadon twisted and turned in his bed...He had lost the wand! How could he have been so careless as to lose it to that supposed "Angel" for a better place....Bah! he thought.



Meanwhile Ax Man was

sharing an ale with his friends...when kazooie and Black Sheep entered the room...Ax's eyes rolled into the back of his head...he quivered and slumped to floor as if he had died.....



But in fact he had not died.....He had seen himself slump to the floor....as if he were a soul in someone else's body..."That's impossible!" Ax noted to himself. Suddenly as if pulled by some unseen force he was lifted into the past. A place of memories.



"Ax Man!" I was asking you to introduce yourself to the class! the young druids do not have incredible patience as it is believed. The Class laughed..."No! Not the magic school...Impossible” he thought quietly to himself..."What do you mean impossible! I can read your thoughts u know!" Once again the class laughed...



Dude! Pipe up and say something...or else they will be reading your mind forever young warrior" He introduced himself. "That's very good. At least he can talk!" the innocent said quietly.



4 hours later he found he was not meant to be a druid he could not even accomplish the stillness trick. He was labeled a "Twist to Fate" But once again Kazooie came to his rescue saying all he needed was time...Kazooie had taught him through the night and by morning he had learned the trick.



And so this cycle continued for years a past...Ax man had become a true druid. One day he left to become a true warrior and a member of the kings guard.



When Ax Man had become a member of the kings guard he returned to the druid's spot of prayer. He found it burning into ashes. He ran into the spot where he met up with kazooie.



"Come on! let's go!" He drew his sword and with the courage of a madman and ran into the flames. There he found druids hung in the trees and slaughtered on the spot: No mercy. Ax Man and kazooie went to the end of the holy spot, where they found Govadon....



"Ah! Ax Man! We are destined to meet in the future when I have lost the wand, and shall become mortal"



Suddenly Ax Man woke with a start. "Govadon is after the wand!"

he yelled.







Chapter 3: At the king's expense

--------------------------------------



"Man! I can't believe the king actually called on you!" Tryst yells in

an ale voice. "We'll I guess I’m the lucky one." Ax man looked towards his

companions and smiled. "We'll I must be off to the palace. Talk to you all later!" He

yelled as he thrust his hand behind him in a friendly gesture.



It was 30 minutes later when Ax Man arrived at the palace. He entered the

king's chamber. He bent down onto his knees and said "Gydion, my lord. How

may I be of service to you?"





The king was obviously very intoxicated. He swayed when he talked to his

servants. "Ah! Ax Man! I whished to talk to you." He managed to sputter out. "What is

it I may do for you my lord?" Ax Man asked in a puzzled voice. "I wish you to assassinate Ikari..."



This sentence hit Ax Man in the back of the head like the end of a broadsword.

"Ikari?" He sputtered, "Yes Ikari!" the king replied angrily



"I cannot do it!" He yelled, "It is beyond my code as a knight and I will not do

it! I may lose my life for you but I will not kill unless it is in your defense! This

is cold blooded murder!"



"Fine! If that is your choice..." The king snapped his fingers. "Guards! Take him

away! He has been dabbling in black magic! I shall decide his fate later! Just get him

out of my sight!" The king spat on Ax Man's boot. "Never disobey my orders!"



Ax Man was thrown into the cell. But he fought bravely with his attackers, but he

was heavily outmatched .The last thing he remembered was being hit in the head with the hilt of a large sword. Then he blacked out......









Chapter 4: The Joust



Ax Man awoke to the sound of his cell opening. “What was it? Was he to be executed already? No, that was impossible; he was to be executed tomorrow afternoon in front of all of Aqruin.” Ax Man thought to himself. “Get out, you have your final wish, what is it?” The guard growled at him.



“To escape” Ax Man thought to himself. “To get first seats to the joust” He said firmly to the guard. “I’ll take it up with my superiors,” the guard said as he left the dungeon. Ax Man thought he better get some sleep if h e wanted to pout his plan into action.



3 hours later Ax man arrived at the joust. He could already see the 2 jouster Alberto and Bugsy pulling down their visors. “I hope this doesn’t end in bloodshed again,” Alberto thought bitterly to himself. He put down his visor and raised his lance, He charged at Bugsy with full force. She didn’t expect it, she was wounded badly in the side, and she was dying.



Now or never ax man thought. He jumped onto the field and ran for full speed towards Bugsy’s limp body. He took her sword belt and clipped it around his own waist. He drew the short blade and held it in front of him as if it were the legendary blade Excalibur. He pointed it towards the guards that were rushing at him and he screamed.
