4 chapter 4

Goran yells," Why, Butcher? Is your lust for power that much that you will sell your soul for power and the lives of your family that you once loved so much? Why did let yourself be made into a monster by the great shadow? I thought that you were not that stupid!"

The Butcher tilts his head to the left with a wicked grin on his face.

The Butcher spoke,"Let us face it Goran! We are starting to age! We have a natural life span of over two hundred years with most of those in our prime! Our lives were extended for another two hundred years past that! We are at the peak of our prime and soon we will both begin to slowly lose our edge that we had developed all these many! I will not allow middle age to humiliate me and

my greatness!"

Goran yelled,"You are truly selfish and self centered! You fight for only yourself and not others! This is what made you weak and you not reach what you are truly capable of! What a fool you have allowed yourself to become so weak natured!"

The Butcher spoke," You think that I am the weak one! You were always in my shadow Goran! You could never hold a candle to my ability. You had always played tag along with whatever I ever did! You know that as well as I! Stop dreaming and come back into reality!"

Goran laughed," I had always held back to not show you up! You were too dumb to notice and you were too self absorbed! It was always about what you wanted to do!"

The Butcher's face was bright red out of anger.

He yelled," Put up or shut up!"

The brothers stop all the hootenanny and prepared for battle.

The Butcher makes the first move and punched at Goran with all his strength.

Goran blocks with the outer side of his forearm that force the brothers to press their arms towards each other in front of his face and chest. The blow causes Goran to slide backward with ruts in the ground where his feet were once at.

The Butcher smiled and did a sweeping kick to Goran. The blow fails to land because Goran jumps right when the kick should have had landed.

Goran's feet land back on the ground.

The brothers had fought each other tens of thousands of times. The battle would not easy for ether brother. They could battle each other blind folded and still fight as effectively.

The Butcher yelled," Enough with the feeling out process of battle! It is not necessary!"

Both of the brothers release their ki in the form of two enormous auras.

The Butcher yells," You have finally reached me Goran! But do not underestimate me! I have

been sandbagging our entire lives to not make you look weak!"

A smile appears on the face of the Butcher which is not returned by his brother.

The brothers lock up their hands and do a test of strength. They are dead even and neither man can out muscle each other. But neither will back down even if would cost them their life.

#

Minutes go by and still no one has gotten the upper hand.

They alternate kicking each other in the shins and attempts to trip each other. The brothers keep shifting backwards and forwards.

Still, Goran and the Butcher are dead even in this test of strength. They break up the lock up and they circle each, looking for an opening in each other's defenses.

Henry and Betty are in their kitchen eating supper when a sense of dread overcomes them. They both get sick to their stomachs.

Henry says,"I know that something is wrong but I do not know what it is all about."

The couple is looking at each other with a tender look and they both turn to portraits of their family on the wall.

Betty says,"It has to do with our boys! Something terrible had to occurred to them!"

Henry puts his silverware down and gets out of his dining table chair. He pushes the chair back in. Henry sighs and begins to cry.

He says,"I have told them to never go to those blasted training grounds! That something bad will happen! They were just too hard headed for their own good! Why could they not had listen to me and stayed home? Why have they always had to go down the hard and dangerous path?"

Betty gets up from her chair and hugs her husband in an attempt to comfort him.

She spoke,"We have done all we could to raise our sons! They are in His hands now!"

The couple cries for hours while praying to their maker.

Goran is still fighting his brother and no one has gotten the upper hand. The fight turns into a brawl and no one would even try to blocks or dodge during the assault.

Blood begins to spray everywhere during the fight and the men are both covered in each other's blood. Neither man will back down, even though they will both die if they battle continues any further.

Goran pulls out his javelin and throws at the chest of his brother. The Butcher is gored by the Javelin and Goran stomps his brother in his chest. Goran drop kicks his brother and punches his head into a shattered mess of gore. The body of his brother is pressed down to the hard rock underneath him by the huge javelin of Goran.

Goran has won the battle but he feels that it is too easy!

The Butcher's body reforms back together except the javelin wound and the javelin is flexed out of the ground. The weapon is flexed out of the Butcher's body and falls unto the ground next to him. The wound in his chest is completely healed and the Butcher laughs.

"You think that such little wounds as these would defeat me then you are a complete and utter imbecile!"

The Butcher jumps back to his feet and dusts himself off like nothing had ever happened!

Betty and Henry are looking back to the events that caused their sons to leave them for the training grounds. Jontho and Wilron did not fit with the status quo of Lowroda due to their size and strength. The tallest person before the boys were around was about six feet at best. Both Wilron and Jontho did not fit in while living in their homeland of Lowroda. They boys begin to hate living in their village since no matter what they did they still were seen in a good light by the rest of the villagers. They graduated from school in mere four years,while doing the work of ten grown men a piece.

The sons of Betty and Henry were overachievers which went against the mediocrity of the rest of Lowroda. The boys were good boys and did as they were told. They were like oil in a pitcher of water that was Lowroda. Their parents stood up for their boys when people lashed out at their boys.

The people of the village did they to make Jontho and Wilron feel unwelcome as was possible.

One day, the boys had red paint thrown on them and it was the stray that broke the camel's back.
