Tea in the mainland

Wataru stepped out of his chamber to enjoy a cool breeze he stood firm while staring at the old trees outside of his house, for an old man he was still in a good shape thanks to his love for healthy living. He was a bit carried away, but his demeanor quickly changes when he felt the same uneasy feeling the fresh atmosphere isn't the same. Someone is behind him, he knows he withdrew his sword and raised it to counter the attack he turned back to see flaming ninjas not one three.

"Fleas" he screamed lunging an attack towards one of the ninjas he fought with all his might, but soon they were becoming tough for him. He stopped fighting to catch his breath, but the three wasn't going to give him a chance to rest.

Suddenly, the ninjas stopped attacking he thought they were going to retreat as they stepped backwards but to his greatest surprise they increased in numbers. Three became eight soon they surround the tired man wataru gave up he threw his sword down and fell to his knees waiting for a quick or maybe painful death.

One ninja approached slowly his with his sword as the rain began to fall, he was about to cut his head off when another came to whisper in his ear.

Wataru is glad his wife and daughter are not around to see this he wouldn't want them to be in danger he was so greatful because of the timing.

"Oh okay" he said carry him he ordered the rest of the ninjas.

They disappeared and left wataru's headband on the ground.

Mina bowed her head as she present the headband to Sammy

"When did this happen" Nao asked

"We had no idea i was out with sara when i came back home this is all i can find. I think he is still alive can you find him ?

"Absolutely ma'am we will try our best"

"ok i need to inform the council so they can also take action"

"You needn't panic everything will be fine i need to inform my brother so he can also join our search"

The two men rushed to tell their companions about the incident

"What" adam screamed upon hearing the news

Wataru is like a father to them "we need to find him soon any idea who did it" The older brother asked

"That bastard yula could ɓe the one behind it we all know he is up to no good" Nao said

"Yes but yula doesn't operate in the evening he appears in daytime" Adam pointed out

"Good point Adam" Sammy said

"It could be the flaming ninjas" a voice said behind them

"Uh Uh uh flaming ninjas no one has seen them in years" Sammy said to kei the village drunkard

"Oh yeah don't believe me how about this" the intoxicated man moved in between the three men who seem confused about their current situation

Kei knelt down and draw a circle to show them what he had seen.

"He is right" Adam said staring at the vision board

"I'm always right" Kei uttered

"We have to go to the in between and save him" Adam continued "Sammy set course" he said to his brother who can transport them from the dead world to the in between.

"I can't it's too dangerous" sammy said "Do you remember what happened the last time we went there, the in between is nothing but chaos adam"

"Yeah we almost died but we survived so i am going to save wataru if it is the last thing i do. You don't have to come along just a swing of your hand do it brother"

"Okay adam but I'm coming with you"

The portal opened "I'm tired of you two bickering all day" Nao said following the two brothers into the open.

Kei stood aside with his bottle watching everything he opened and fill his stomach with the liquid falling to the ground he groaned before turning to the side hoping death will come for him today.

********

While the brothers were out to save wataru Yoshi is at the market saving the traders. Yula troops came to disrupt the peace again after they were warned the last time about fifty men stood with daggers ready to unleash terror.

This time around yoshi wasn't alone yuto and aki stood beside him ready to fight. The three warriors grabbed their swords and attacked it started out as a child's play until yoshi realized their opponents didn't come to dance.

They fought and were wounded while their enemies lay dead in a pool of bloodshed. The rest retreated, Yoshi fell holding his side.

He groaned the two other warriors held him and escorted him to the doctor's inn.

"We need to inform wataru about this it is getting out of control, the council need to step up as well."

"what about him i can't leave him here" Yuta said

"I'll stay you inform his girlfriend and find wataru immediately" Aki said referring to sari as yoshi's girlfriend

"Okay take care"

Aki stood aside he looked outside through the window he focused his attention bact to yoshi hoping the man is going to be alright.

"He was poisoned the dagger was laced" The doctor said after examining the nature of the prince wound

"They ran the perpetrator must have gotten away is he going to be fine" Aki asked

"He is" The doctor replied

*********

Yuta began knocking on the door panting as he did because he was tired from running so fast. Sari opened the door she peeked left and right grabbing the man letting him inside.

"What's wrong yuta" she asked

He kept making the thirsty sign so she brought him water after drinking he tried his best to regain his breath before speaking
