Sparow’s Journey part 2

“You’re finally awake.” Soul Warrior said as Sparow’s eyes fluttered open.

Sparow looked around, he was in a small log cabin, and the mysterious Soul Warrior was sitting by a roaring fire, cooking something in an old pot.

“You know kidnapping is a federal offense.” Sparow said as he rubbed his eyes

“You don’t look like a kid to me.” Soul Warrior said as he turned his attention to Sparow, “Plus I don’t think any one will miss you.”

Soul Warrior grabbed a bowl from a table nearby and dipped it into the boiling pot. “Here eat.” Soul Warrior said as he handed the bowl to Sparow.

What is this? Poison?” Sparow asked, refusing to take the bowl.

“The best way to fight a cold, chicken soup.” Soul Warrior said as he dumped the bowl on Sparow’s lap. A few droplet of soup fell on Sparow’s clothes.

“How can I trust you?” Sparow asked as he stared down at the bowl.

“If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead.” Soul Warrior said as he handed Sparow a spoon.

“Thanks for the thought.” Sparow said as he took a sip of the soup, “ Mmm... Not bad.”

“Sandy always was a good cook.”

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“Oh wait I remember now.” Sparow said thinking back to the Tournament of Champions. “You gather the souls of innocent people who were slain. And Sandy was-”

“Slaughtered by Dark Crusader for no reason.” Soul Warrior said sadly.

“I’m sorry.” Sparow said slowly, regretting he once worked side by side with Dark Crusader.

“Think no more of it.” Soul Warrior said as if it met nothing to him. “Now come, there is someone else we must save from the sword of Dark Crusader.”

“Who?” Sparow asked, slightly curious.

“A lone warrior, much like yourself, with no one to trust.” Soul Warrior said. “A man by the name of Dark Ninja.”

Later that day Sparow found himself in the very place he tried to escape, the F.W.L.’s headquarters. F.W.L. was the largest gathering of villains every assembled under a common cause. The leader of them all, who was perhaps the most evil man on the planet, who used lies freely, and did anything to get ahead, the man known only as New Samurai.

Dark Ninja was also well known by Sparow. Dark Ninja, like Sparow, was a masked ninja who joined F.W.L. for an unknown reason. Unlike Sparow though, Dark Ninja holds one of the lowest positions in F.W.L.

Finally Sparow spotted Dark Ninja. Dark Ninja was sneaking up on Lost Soul, what Lost Soul was doing here was beyond Sparow since he was an enemy of F.W.L.

Sparow was wondering what the hell was going on; when out of the corner of his eye he spotted Dark Crusader ready to strike Dark Ninja from behind. Worse than that is Sparow knew one blow from Dark Crusader’s sword spelled instant death.
