CHAPTER 3
Glasgow Green
"Huv youse nae hames tae go tae?" called out the barmaid to the disparate group of her remaining patrons of which Dirk and I were a part. Reluctantly, we stepped down off the barstools, slipped on our jackets, and walked out into the city of Glasgow at night. Although there were probably about a half dozen of us filing out the door of her bar, I truly suspected that the barmaid was probably most pleased to be getting rid of the two of us more so than the others, since we'd spent most of the evening nursing the same two beers, whilst simultaneously coming up with excuses not to talk about what happened two days ago on New Santorini Island.
Needless to say, it had not at all been a pleasant departure from the cave. The gruff old Grand Master was none too pleased that Dirk should refuse the Sword; I guess telling Dirk that he had a choice was just his way of being polite. When it was clear that Dirk was serious about not accepting the gift, the old man ordered Aaron and a few other monks to "Get us the hell out of his sight." Aaron quickly accommodated the old man, and delivered us to the wharf without speaking at all to us along the way.
Neither did we have much to say to each other on the ferry. Dirk wasn't flirting as usual, and all of the other passengers, of which there was only a handful at this time of day, just left us alone, as if there had been some kind of invisible, impenetrable bubble around us the whole time. Dirk didn't seem to notice though. He just kept his nose in his laptop until the battery ran out, and then took to staring out the window at the waves. Appropriately, a storm was gathering on the distant horizon.
I watched him for a large part of the two hour trip, trying to figure out what he was thinking. Finally, I had to admit that the only thing I was certain of, was the fact that my own mind was ablaze. Not only was the Flaming Sword real, it had chosen another Knight, and it wasn't me.
After all these years of wondering and fantasizing, the Sword was REAL.
Imagine all the good that could be done with it. All the lives that could be helped; all the lives that could be changed. It was an awesome responsibility, and I had to admit that I could understand why Dirk didn't want it. I had sought it out. He had only come along for the ride, and he had been chosen almost by mistake.
We spent the next two days biding our time in Glasgow while waiting until tomorrow's flight out of here, as well as doing our best to avoid reporters.
The news of the Sword coming to life again and choosing a new Knight was, as should have been expected, all over the media, and news organizations from all
