Odyssey of a Lost Mind
Chapter 1
Almost there, almost there. A shadowy figure made it's way through a dimly lit hallway. It turned it's back to the wall and peeked around the corner. I should be there soon. Just have to keep going. It shuffled around the corner and ran silnetly into a big room. The room was designed like a big circle. Besides the main floor on the bottom, there was another floor over it. the figure ran and jumped behind a pillar. The impact against the pillar forced it's hood to slide a little of it's head. Blond hair poked out from under it's hood. Emerald green eyes shone out into the darkness.
The figure looked out from behind the pillar. His green eyes scoped out the item in the middle of the room. A golden key sat on a pedestal. There it is. Now I just have to get it… the figure looked around. No one here. He slid out from behind the cover and slowly made his way to the pedestal. When he was close enough, he reached up to grab the key. A smile appeared on his face. This is too easy… The thought suddenly left his mind as he heard the sound of a sword coming out of it's sheath behind him. The figure quickly spun around, unsheathing it's own sword in the process. The clash of metal against metal rang out in the room. Another figure stood over the first one. Their swords met, as well as their eyes. The first figure's hood came off from the sudden turn, revealing his spiky blond hair and green eyes.
"Hello Alex." Said the figure that loomed over the first. Alex nodded. "Adam, I should have known you would be here. This couldn't have been this easy." Adam laughed. Alex pushed Adam away and slowly pulled himself off of the ground. "Well I guess that I can't get this item without a fight." Said Alex. Adam smiled, but didn't say a word. "Fine," said Alex. "Here I come!"
Alex rushed at Adam, who pulled his sword into a defensive stance. Adam blcoked Alex's sword and spun around for a counterattack. Alex ducked as the blade swung over his head. He saw an opening and rushed in. Adam performed a backflip, merely dodging Alex's sword. Adam slid across the ground, keeping his hand on the ground for balance. "Hmm…nice swordmanship. But, how are your reflexes?"
Suddenly, Adam disappears. Alex gasped and looked around him. He smiled as he knew what to do. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, listening for any sound that mght clue him of Adam's location. He suddenly swung his sword around, knocking away another. Adam reappeared in that spot. "I guess toying is not going to work anymore," He said, his face getting serious. "It's time to go all out!" Adam dashed towards Alex. Alex vaulted himself in the air. Adam smiled and jumped up towards him, sword outstretched. Alex's eyes opened wide. I cant dodge in mid-air!
He brought his sword up to his chest in time, barely blockign the tip of Adams sword. The force sent him flying back, through a pillar and into the wall on the second floor. Alex quickly stood up and looked around for Adam. Where is he? Something was caught in the corner of his eye, and he swung his sword, slashing it to pieces. He looked at where it came from. Adam stood next to a pillar, where a piece was cut out. He put his foot on the banister and launched himself across the room. Adam cut another piece off of the pillar and kicked it towards Alex.
Alex cut it in half and still flew in the air. He noiced that Adam was gone. He landed on the other side, looking around. He heard a noise behind him and dodged to the side. Adam flew by him, running straight towards a wall. Adam put his feet on the wall and launched himself off of it. Alex blocked it, but the force pushed him through the banister and back down to the floor below.
Alex stood up and looked around for Adam. He was gone. 'Where are you!! Why do you always disappear!! Come out and fight like a man!!" Alex gasped as a voice came from right behind him. "Ok, then. I will." Alex felt the sword peirce his chest from his back. He looked down at the bloodied steel that protruded from his chest. His mouth opened, but no words came out. Adam stood there, laughing. Suddenly, Alex's body started to flicker and change colors. Then, a loud voice cried out. "Game Over"
