Burn--oldtime 4

?That?s weird.? Seth said as he looked on the page. ?What is?? Samuel asked. ?The Head Priest Nathaniel fell from the sky only to be greeted by an insane, drunk, homeless homosexual who was convinced Nathaniel was his god sent lover.? Seth read. ?That is weird.? ?I think we may be able to read this book and know what is going on in the future.? Seth playfully gnawed on Samuel?s arm. ?Hey wait! The words are changing again. Now they are back to what the book said before.? Seth stared at the page.1

?I need to go home Seth.? Samuel said looking sad to leave. ?I?m coming with you.? Seth said as he got up. Seth ran in circles around Samuel?s feet. ?Come on? Samuel and Seth ran like wind laughing together as it swept them along.2

Samuel slowed as he entered the town. The abrupt end of dense forest made him sick to his stomach. There was a lot less commotion then Samuel expected. Seth looked anxious he shifted his weight steadily and lowered his head in an attack-ready position. Samuel heard his mother scream in anguish. Seth charged Samuel did the same not to far behind.  3

The three priests had ransacked Samuels house, rapped and killed Samuel?s mother and set fire to Samuel?s baby brother.  ?There thee is.? said the ugliest of the three. ?Come boy. Wee know that thee has been taught magic by those whores of satin.? Samuel?s tiny body shook with anger. Seth growled and raised his hackles, both of them stood ready to attack. The earth began to shake violently. Samuel cried out words he did not know. Seth Howled with all his power. The three priests fell to the ground screaming in pain. 4

When Samuel stopped chanting; Seth stopped howling, and the earth stopped shaking. The only sound was the now hoarse moans of pain the priests were emitting.5

The earth opened and spat out a sword. Samuel took it in his tiny hand. The sword was a moderate size but was half of Samuel?s size. With great effort, Samuel picked it over his head. He swung it in between one of the priest?s legs, narrowly missing the priest?s femoral artery. The look on Samuel?s face said he had meant to miss. He picked up the sword again and pointed it to the neck of the ugliest of the three priests. ?I will use thy way of interrogation. If I do not get an answer or if it is not the one I want to hear I will decapitate thee.? 6

?Which one of thee came up with this idea?? Samuel gestured with his free hand.  ?I- I did lad.? Samuel?s eyes narrowed. ?Sir! I did sir.? squeaked the priest. ?Why, pray tell did thee decide to ransack my house?? Seth growled, Samuel swung his sword and decapitated a priest who was attempting to escape. ?To find you sir? Samuel swung his sword again, this time decapitating the other two priests. ?Wrong answer.? Samuel said surveying the three dead priests.7
