Chapter: 4 powers

when in contact with the water in itself a lot. With the empty bucket he went into the forest to the small well he had found yesterday and filled it with fresh water. He dipped his hands in the water and washed his face with the water in his hands. Then he took the handle of the bucket and went back to the seat. Tanuki had woken up by now, she was a little confused and didn't know where she was, but Tenchu ​​told her "We found you back at the house, you were unconscious and had a high fever." "I remember. I followed voices that were probably your voices, but I don't remember anything else. "Tanuki said, still a little dazed. "Where are the other elves and fairies? Are they in safe hiding?" Tenchu ​​asked curiously. Tanuki looked sadly at the floor and a tear rolled down her cheek. She hesitated a moment and then said in a sad and low voice, "They ... they are all ... they are all death. Death!All are death. The minotaurs have ... "Tanuki couldn't speak further, she burst into tears. Ventai got up and walked over to her and took her in his arms and comforted her. Suddenly Toshiro jumped up, his face full of anger and hatred He shouted "WWWAAHHH I Toshiro Makasaki swear by my life that I will kill every minotaur I meet and all the other creatures that helped kill the elves!" I will kill you Lord Urashima! "Everyone was silent and looked at Toshiro, even Tanuki had stopped crying and was looking at him. Tanuki said in a low and hopeless voice," Don't bother. You will not be able to avenge the elves and kill Lord Urashima. "Toshiro looked at her and smiled then took his sword and said to her," I'll do my best and I'll make it. "Then he ran into the forest. Keido ran after him because he wanted to keep him from his senseless kamikaze action, but he didn't catch up with him.Slowly he went back to Ventai, Tenchu ​​and Tanuki and thought about Toshiro. "Thanks for your help, thank you very much." Tanuki said to them. "Don't thank us, thank Toshiro, he was looking for the herbs for the medicine, collected berries, got a blanket for you and all that." Keido explained to her. "Toshiro is the boy who ran away right?" asked Tanuki. “Yes, that's Toshiro.” Ventai said.
<br />
They introduced themselves to Tanuki and Tanuki told them about their experiences, they thought together what one could do to end this horror. But not much to them. Tanuki had to think about Toshiro's words the whole time and his smile that she found somehow sweet. It was decided that they would stay in town for another day and then return to King Jubei's kingdom at dawn.
<br />
The next morning they were awakened by the rain. The sun hadn't even risen yet and there was still a veil of mist between the trees.They got ready to leave, but Keido stopped and looked at them. "I will not go with you." said Keido resolutely. Everyone looked at him in shock. "Why not Keido? We could use your help, because the way up to King Jubei was full." said Tenchu. Keido looked Tenchu ​​in the eye, then he said "No! You have to take the path through the mist swamp there you won't come across Lord Urashima's troops. Only little goblins, but you can easily deal with them." "OK! But why aren't you coming with us? " Tenchu ​​asked him further. "I'll come after I find Toshiro." was Keido's answer. "The boy is long gone and if he is not you will hardly catch up with him or find him." said Ventai with a serious look. "You're wrong Ventai, think better before you speak. The boy managed to walk from Syaoran to the dojo without being killed. I'm sure he's still alive." said Keido a little angry.Ventai averted his gaze from Keido. "OK! We'll meet at King Jubei's. Goodbye Keido." Tenchu ​​said quietly to him. Keido nodded, then turned around, went into the forest and then disappeared into the fog. Tanuki looked after him even when she couldn't see him anymore, but when she heard her voice behind her she turned around and followed Tenchu ​​and Ventai who had already gone ahead. After a while Tanuki asked "Do you think we'll see them again?" at first she got no answer but then Tenchu ​​said "Only the gods know. But Keido is a strong warrior, we will definitely see him again." Tanuki thought for a moment, then wanted to ask if he thought she would see Toshiro again, but then let him she'd rather be.
<br />
Keido walked attentively through the fog, you could hear the rain pattering on his armor. He didn't know where he was going, he just trusted his feelings.
<br />
At noon it still hadn't stopped raining and the sky was covered with huge black clouds that couldn't let the sun's rays through.Keido had been walking for a while and slowly he felt a slight feeling of hunger. But there was nothing to eat far and wide, just rotten wood and leaves. So he decided to go on on an empty stomach. In the late afternoon the rain let up a bit, it had softened the whole forest floor and in some places it was difficult to move.
<br />
Suddenly he heard voices coming from the west. He went to meet these voices and at some point saw slips of paper and he could see a few goblins. Keido walked past the tents, while a couple of goblins looked at him with curious looks. Suddenly he heard a voice calling from behind him "Hey you there! Who are you and what do you want here?" Keido turned slowly and saw a young soldier from Lord Urashima standing in front of him, who held out his sword threateningly. Keido slowly turned around again, as if he hadn't heard or seen anything and walked on step by step. Again he heard the young soldier shout uncertainly and somewhat anxiously, "I have spoken to you, stranger!Tell me immediately who you are and what you want here or I will kill you. "Keido had to grin, then he turned back to the young soldier and walked up to him until he was right in front of him and could look into his eyes. The young soldier got nervous and swallowed fearfully, he just wanted to repeat his words when Keido punched him in the stomach. The painful young soldier sank to his knees, he held his stomach and tried to gasp for air. Keido took him by his collar and pulled him up close to his face. Then he said more softly Voice "I am General Keido and I am here quite by chance and if you yell at me again or look at me with your dirty face I will kill you without you noticing. We understand each other? "" ... yes ... yes sir. "Stuttered the young soldier, still gasping for air. Suddenly Keido heard a familiar voice," Keido you are still alive? I heard what happened to your troop, my condolences.Who could have known that there was such a large group of goblins. "Keido dropped the young soldier who immediately sank to his knees again. He turned to the right one from which the voice came, his look angry when he saw the person who heard the voice. The person was tall and quite fat it was Gendo one of the special men of Lord Urashima. Gendo started to laugh out loud, then he raised his big, broad and muscular arm and took a large sip of sake from the jug he was holding in his hand. "Come to my dry Keido tent and have a drink with me me. "Said Gendo loudly. Gendo went up to Keido, who was still looking at him with his angry look, and hit him hard on the back and then went into the tent with Keido. They were sitting at a large table and Gendo had another beer and ordered a goblin Keido to bring a mug of sake as well. "I will give you some of my men so you can safely go back to Lord Urashima."Said Gendo with a grin." That is not necessary. "Reply Keido." How is that not necessary? Do you want to go back alone? "Gendo asked curiously and then began to laugh out loud. Keidos wanted got even angrier, he hated it when someone laughed at him and especially he hated it when it was Gendo who laughed at him. He hit him with a handshake the jug against the tent wall. The sake ran out and left a wet spot on the dry ground. Keido got up and yelled at Gendo angrily, "Lord Urashima knew how big the troop of goblins was and you knew it too, the whole special unit knew it's just not me. Why? Damn why? All of my husbands died in the process, and so should I. "Gendo looked at Keido with a grin, then his grin disappeared and his face became serious. He got up and went to the tent exit and looked out into the rain. Then he said" Cool off, nobody knew that the group was so big. What reason would Lord Urashima have to kill you, you are one of his best men and you are also a member of his special troop."When he said that he turned to Keido and he began to grin again. Keido didn't believe a word and threw the table over in anger. Gendo turned to Keido and saw him standing in front of him, he saw the anger in him his face and he started to grin even more. "Lord Urashima always had something against me, because I come from the dragon family and explain to me why you are suddenly allied with the goblins." Keido said angrily to Gendo. "The goblins are stupid, we have an agreement with them that they adhere to. "Gendo explained to him. Keido just wanted to ask him why this agreement wasn't made before he went into battle with his troops. But he didn't, because he would only get another stupid answer. Slowly his angry face and he disappeared." asked Gendo "I still have one question, Gendo. Did you see a boy here? " " A boy? I have to think about it, yes, someone came by here two days ago, he was covered in blood, but it wasn't his blood.He attacked one of my men. "" Where is he now and tell me the truth Gendo. "Keido asked further." How should I know? Do I look like a clairvoyant? The boy ran away. "Gendo told him. Then he took a big punch from the jug that was in his hand. Outside you could hear two goblins fighting. Around them stood goblins jumping and yelling wildly. Gendo's grin disappeared and he took a step out of the tent and shouted to the goblins "What's going on here since you stupid? Save your strength you bastards or I'll kill you "When he had said that, the goblins fell silent and
