Chapter 4: Chris' other big brother
Nomad sat in her bedroom reading letters from different people. They varied from being complaints about taxes or how the shops didnt get enough inventory. She didnt know what else to do since she has already halved taxes and doubled what the shops get. She saw one letter that stood out to her, it was addressed to Chris from the town of Zemio, the sender was a teen named Sean Winston Pearson. She gasped and instantly called Chris in.
The cub ran in a soon as he could, as it was a big castle, to see what his mother needed "what is it mommy?" He asked hopping onto her bed.
"Do you remember the name Sean? At all?" She asked him as she lifts Chris into her arms.
"Uhhhhhhhhhh sort of, isnt he my brother but he left before I was born to help the people of Zemio?" He asked, he only knew little of his brother but obviously had a good idea of who he was.
"Yes, well he addressed a letter to you and I wanted you here to read it with me." She let him open it.
Chris looked at it and read it aloud:
"Dear Chris,
You may not know me, but I have heard of you. I am glad to say you won't be in the dark of your mysterious other brother for long though, my commander had given me the okay to leave as they had everything under control here and Zemio should be safe. I will be at the castle on the tenth of Argath (Zemio equivalent of August) to be in your guys life again, hope to see you soon.
Your big brother,
Sean"
"Wow, he's coming home and I finally get to meet him. This is so exciting!" He grinned happily and ran out to get stuff ready as today WAS the tenth and that meant he'd be there soon.
Nomad smiled and sighed "that's almost all of them to complete their tasks to prepare him... That just leaves you Marz."
She picks up a photo of her with Lyle, a dalmatian and a three tailed fox. She had given all three of her sons a task, Lyle was to save inferno, Sean's was to protect the exile town of Zemio, as it was the town if exiles Jasper's king had exiled himself. Marz however didnt have a job like these, he had a special job that couldn't be known... Not yet that is.
After a few hours, Chris has prepared his room so he could share it with Sean. He heard a trumpet the chattering of many servants, so he rushed down to see what was going on. He saw a carriage pull up to the castle and out came a rather thin five foot eight dalmatian man, and Chris knew for a fact that THIS was Sean. The boy rushed up to the man and smiled. Sean looked down and smiled.
"Well ain't it little Christopher Pearson. It's an honor my prince." Sean bowed, due to his quest he chose to not be a prince but a commoner, and so he was showing his respects to his royal brother.
"You no need to be formal Sean, we are brothers!" He hugged him knowing who he was.
Sean smiled and hugged him with a chuckle "I know but it feels right to greet a royal in a way his people should, that's all."
Chris giggled at that. He showed him up to his room, which was set up with a bunk bed. "You get the bottom bunk, I get top... Also don't enter the closet or your hide will regret it." He giggled and skipped off.
Chris had a secret about him, and it was he liked to spank people, but Sean didnt get what he meant and shrugged, sitting on the bottom bunk with a chuckle. "He sure did prepare for my arrival."
