(Eric POV)
(A few minutes earlier)
I let out a tired sigh. I can’t believe it was finally over. Doing a long battle then sending a surprise attack just too exhausting was a ridiculous move. I was just glad that it was over.
I walk up the hill over to my tenant and get some shut eye. The peaceful embrace of darkness really calmed-(kracka-boom) I was awakened by the sound of thunder but as I look outside there was no rain not even a cloud up there. Actually there is some black smoke by the front- oh shit!
I quickly run inside and grab my sword with my left hand, I’m still not comfortable with that but I can’t complain better than no hands... Or fingers...
As I making my way to the front I noticed that there is a breach in the wall. I can see king Alexander kneeing in front of… Gabe! Fuck! I don’t get to know him much but he was a good guy! I rush towards the battlefield ready to kill anyone who gets in my way but then I noticed something odd about Alex.
He had a few wounds on him but his tail seemed perfectly fine. Why was it red.
Suddenly Alex stood up and turned around. His eyes were still closed as blood dripping from his head. I could see a goblin rushing to him its spear pointed at his chest. I watched in horror as it penetrates Alex going right through his chest like knife in butter the goblins dangling from his body...
…
But Alex did not move The battle practically stopped. Everyone was strangely staring at Alex waiting for him to make a move including me.
(Third Person POV)
The crowd of Orcs, Goblins and Fire Spirits plus humans watched in amazement even having a spear penetrating his chest he can still stand!
Alex finally opened his eyes and you can swear the world gasped. His eyes were a bright crimson red. Just staring into his eyes you could feel fear spread through you, both friends and foe got that same feeling.
His crimson red eyes just so happen to be staring into the face of the goblin who had stabbed him and is now dangling off the spear by his hand.
With his right hand Alex brought right up to the goblins chest he flicked it in chest with only his finger.
The entire back of the Goblin exploded outwards as the blood rushed out of his body.
The goblin was launch back off his spear and landed in his allies. A Conrad of the goblins check on them noticing that almost all of the blood in his system had disappeared and didn’t even spray on the battlefield.
The whole battlefield had screams of terror. Both sides trying to get away from this… Demon.
…
King Rupert is certainly confused, why is the battle completely stopped. He should have won by now. He orders his captains to fire the arrows, if they are not going to win this battle then he will have to do it himself.
… all across the battlefield many noticing hundreds of arrows in the sky raining down upon them.
Many were conflicted upon this betrayal why would their king and Ally do this to them. Others tried to raise there Shields but knowing that most of the shields have been damaged due to the assault there is little hope for them
But Alex simply turned around looked at the arrows he grabs the spear in his chest he quickly yanks it out of his chest without even flinching and threw it at the horde of arrows.
As soon as the spear left his hand, it broke the sound barrier as it flew off into the arrows. This spear missed all the arrows but with the impact of the winds going against the arrows, all of the arrows were knocked off they’re intended path.
The sky was littered with arrows that they fell to the ground not hurting A single person.
Many were amazed and Some just dropped their weapons not wanting to continue the fight, too afraid.
Alex looked back noticing that the others we’re not willing to fight anymore. He proceeded to look at his next enemy king Rupert who had not noticed them yet but definitely had notice the arrows being moved by a simple spear.
Alex drew his sword and in both amazement and disgust absorbed the blood of the foe he had obliterated. As the blood went into the sword many thought they heard a female singing.
Second wave is coming now Alex rushed forward meeting them head on. The incoming wave thought that it was going to be in easy flight.
They were surprise when they saw him disappear and reappear slaying three of their Comrad's before disappearing again. Many thought he was teleporting but did not realize that he was going so fast that the road runner was slower than him.
Alex proceeded to appear and disappear unknowing where he would pop up next.
Finally Alex appeared in the centre of the second wave and raised his sword. The blood of 260 enemies was being absorbed into the sword. Everyone now could hear this sword singing in delight.
His sword is now fully glowing and the second wave knew this was not a good sign so they started retreating. How right they were. Alex proceeded to hold his sword in the opposite way and plunge it into the ground.
Instantly the ground exploded and anyone who was caught in the surrounding area that was a 26m radius was disintegrated.
The ground is charred in a perfect circle. Then comes the royal looking goblin. He is maybe and his 60s. White beard goes all way down to the bottom of the chest. His expression is anger. Alex shifts his sword.
“You murdered my brother” he said. “If it wasn’t for you this war would have ended by now if thousand would not die for this hopeless cause. Just surrendered now and I will grant quick death“
…
All was quiet for not even a cricket dare to make it sound.
…
“Ha.. haha… hahahahahahahaha”. The first thing the come out of Alex's Mouth was laughter “you fool, thousand were Doomed to die in the beginning. What makes you think that me coming here would’ve save their pathetic lives. And your brother… that’s no murder”
“It! Was! A! Slaughter!” Alex just stared at him.
“You bastard! I will kill you! AAAHHHH” The goblin King Rush forward Alex simply does nothing. The king raised his sword Alex did nothing.
The king brought his sword down Alex disappear and appeared behind him. The king took a few steps forward. Alex with his sword suddenly clean of blood behind him.
The king started following apart starting from his hands and feet through to his arms and legs. Eventually the king was nothing more than a pile of 1 inch cubes.
Alex had the creepiest smile in the world. He has a toothy smile spread across his face
Suddenly Alex grabs his head with his left hand and crumpled to the ground. “my time is up, truly a shame“
(Alex POV)
Awake on the floor my sword in front of me it’s usually Purple glow sues me. I then remember Gabe, I slowly get to my feet.
Finally I noticed the battlefield. Memories of what I just did go through my brain.
I quickly checked my chest to my relief there is no fatal wound of the spear but it still needs to get checked out.
I now realize how exhausted I am. I still have a lot of magic but I’m just so exhausted and my body can barely move
(Sunk)
An arrows hit my left shoulder but the armour stopped it.
I look up and see another royale leader. “That was for my uncle!” he said.
The enemy is starting to surround me.
(Sunk)
An arrow ppenetrates my right shoulder the armour having no use.
“That was for my dad!” He screamed
As I get surrounded I noticed that they are not looking at me but behind me.
I Hear an arrow being drawn on a bow “And this is for my nation.” The arrow flies, aimed directly to my head. I close my eyes for and wait for the killing Blow… nothing happens.
I open my right eye to see what happened. to my shock it stuck in midair. It had a green aura around it and even though I haven’t seen the person I already know who it is. I turn around to see Green Flame and her horn ignited.
I got to stop nearly getting killed every time i’m on the battlefield it's like an addiction.
Green Flame hugged me, and and used all the energy I have just so I can rub her on the head.
I gave a little glanced back noticing that the King has gotten away.
“Die!” A Orc charges us with his longsword out. A certain Timberwolf tackles the Orc to the ground and bites out his throat.
after he’s done his breakfast he walked over to me in rub his head against my armoured hip. I give him a pat on his head too.
I’ll look around more and I can see humans all around demolishing the enemy with their surprise attack.
I feel my legs giveaway but thankfully Green Flame caught me. “Honey are you all right he seem exhausted” she says threw her helmet.
“I’ll be fine but I have one more job to do.” I look over the Killer. Killer was just a name I gave him on the spot but now I know what his name should be.
“Pólemos!” The Timberwolves look at me recognizing its new name. “The king must die. May I ride you’re back” Pólemos nods his head and Lays down for me to easily get on.
As I mount Pólemos I feel a tug on my arms from Green Flame “you can’t go!” she says. “You can barely stand as it is!“
I just give her a gentle smile and removed her helmet then put my right hand on her left cheek. “As long as the king lives, more will die” using my right hand I bring her closer to my lips. As we released, I gave her one last smile. “when I returned it will just be me and you exploring this new place for a week. I promise.”
She give me a sad smile and nod her head. I turned back to Pólemos “Pólemos!” I say as I take the left arrow out of my Armour and bring it to his nose “can you track this?” I ask him
As soon as Pólemos sniffs the arrow he charges through the crowd. I held on tight and kept my head low, not wanting a spear through my head.
Eventually we make it past the crowd in onto the hill where I saw the enemy king sit. His chairs are still here but he’s not.
But Past the hill I saw something on fire. I take a closer look and it’s the king writing on some type of Fire elk.
I reach for my quiver and grab an arrows… I felt nothing… I forgot, the more tired I am the less arrows I can summon.
I had dropped the one arrow as we rushed off but there is still the arrow in my right shoulder.
I check the arrow noticing that he went right through my shoulder. This is gonna hurt like a son of a bitch.
With both hands I yank the arrow out of my shoulder, screaming in pain. I collapsed on Pólemos almost blacking out from both the tiredness and pain
I’m too exhausted to move right now. I can still see the King and getting away, I have to do something.
…
Then I notice something...
The wind…
It feels nice…
(Third Person POV)
Is the king ran away, Alex quickly picked himself up. Alex can feel the wind around him. The one thing no one notices though was that his irises turned gray.
Alex began to feel better as newfound energy swimming through him. He raised his bow somehow placing air on it, his blood still dripping. Then he began to chant as if he knew the words his whole life.
“Hear me Hera, Guardian of the Wind and Spring! Give me your aid in defeating my enemies! Let my aim be true as I strike! Let them hear your howl in the night! Allow my arrows to fly and my sword to be swift! Hear me Hera Guardians of the Wind and Spring!”
“Bow Technic: Unstoppable Arrow!” Alex shouted in the old human tongue.
He released the arrow and once again broke the sound barrier. But this time the wind with surrounding the arrow guiding to its destination.
The king saw the arrow and uses shield the block it. But surprisingly The arrow completely moved directions and shot Straight through his face.
Alex sighing for his mission was over finally passed out due to exhaustion.
