A life for a life: chapter one.
Anyways… I'm not sure if I should do this or not but anyway… VP2 doesn't belong to me.
The man knelt before her, Gungnir in one hand. There would be no escape from death for the necromancer now; his soul was escaping his body. He raised his right hand, hoping to destroy the goddess; she had stolen Lenneth from him. The warriors behind her reacted; Rufus and Arngrim stepped forwards. Arngrim stepped forwards and grappled with the mage while Rufus attempted to push the goddess away to avoid the blow from the powerful lance. Too late. The goddess could feel her soul being ripped apart. The necromancer had enough fight in him to free himself from Arngrim, the warrior lying on the floor, slashing in a pool of his own blood, trying to keep his stomach in. He lunged at the goddess. Rufus stepped between the two at the last moment, Gungnir missing Valkyrie. Rufus stared ahead with unseeing eyes, pupils dilating into small holes, blood poured out of his side, where the lance ad cut him. His face was pale, his eyes rolled up in his head, and then he went still.
"Rufus!" the scream rang out, echoing in the large round room. Three orbs, submerged in fading light could be seen spiraling around one another, rising to the ceiling. Then they went dark. A girl wearing a brown vest, a blue and purple skirt and black leggings knelt on the crystal floor, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Rufus!"
A radiant light shone down upon the odd assortment of people who were in the room, the orbs were shining a light so brilliant that Alicia closed her eyes.
"open your eyes, Alicia," A voice called out to her, Alicia couldn't remember what had happened, she could only hope that the small glimpses she was getting about Rufus dying was only a dream. A woman clad in indigo armor stood before her. The woman had beautiful blonde, wavy hair that fell to her shoulder blades. It took her a while to figure out who was talking to her, she had only seen the goddess a few moments before their battle with lizard, as Silmeria had always resided within Alicia's own body. "Alicia" she said in the kind, controlled voice Alicia knew so well. Alicia could see clearly now, they were surrounded by never ending white light, there were two shadows standing either side of Silmeria, their features hidden by the overwhelming light, but Alicia could tell who they were, the shape of their armor giving their identities away.
The two shadows stepped forward, there features could be seen from where they were. A woman in blue armor stood on Silmeria's right; she had platinum hair and lovely blue eyes. The other woman stood on Silmeria's left was a stunning beauty with long black hair and dark purple armor, she had piercing golden eyes. Lenneth and Hrist had small but kind smiles on their faces. They looked at Alicia with something new in their eyes, they had always looked at her with kindness, but there was some part of them that was critical of her lack of strength and skill in battle, now they looked at her with respect. She remembered how fiercely she fought the sorcerer. Silmeria spoke up, "Even we goddesses of fate cannot control the lives of those around us. Our last gift to you is a chance to live on." Silmeria stepped towards her, armor clanking. "Promise me, Alicia, I already know that I won't live, neither will Rufus. Promise me you will live on with your head held high, make the most of your life and make me proud."
Alicia wanted to scream, to tell the blonde haired woman that she should be able to live on because she was so much more worthy than herself. But her words were caught in her throat; the only word she could get out of her mouth was a quiet "no." Silmeria took a small step forward forwards and took Alicia in her embrace. "Once we die, we can learn new things, we will not cease to exist. However, we will lose a quality in all of us that allows us to make changes to the future of the world. Achieve something great and change the world for the better. Promise me." Alicia heard the sternness behind the last two words. All she could do was utter "I will." Alicia returned her embrace.
Hi! Tell me via review if this is boring or not well written. Is it a nice length? I hope more chapters will come in the future.
