Chapter 2-March of the Cult

BladeRend's P.O.V

My end gem still flaming blood red from the argument, I left CrestHearth square to find the evil.

I sat on Tibby and flew off towards where Jaslyn pointed at, I hope I can trust her, I hope she isn't like her boyfriend! Nonetheless, I had to find the evil, it seems so much stronger than Rhatous, and I had to stop it. Suddenly, emerged from the sea, was a giant titan sized monster. I landed in front of him, prepared to fight. I stood in front of the giant behemoth, it roared at me and I drew my new blade quickly and it slammed its hand down on me, its hand landed on my blade as I lifted it as it came down. It cried out in pain as blood dripped down my blade. It wanted to smash its hand down on me again but I cast god stormrage. I could feel the increase in power in that spell as I spread out my arms and generated more energy and the lightning was a darker green. The lightning circle extended further and shocked the monster entirely, it went down on its knees. I stabbed the blade on its hand and he lifted me up as he got back up. He tried to squash me but I held back his enormous hand before he crushed me. I pushed away his hand and ran along his arm and with all my might, slashed its left cheek. He fell on his knees again as I fell to his right hand and he tried to grip me but I was too fast and ran up his right arm. I jumped as I reached his shoulder and slashed his right eye. I spread my wings and glided down in front of Tibby who was watching me fight.

BladeRend: 'One last blow!' I exclaimed and flew back up to his heart and pierced into it. Blood spewed out of it and splattered on me. I glided back down to the ground and watched as he fell back into the sea. The water around the shore was all red.

Suddenly I see a ship fly above us and landed beside me. It was huge, made of jungle wood and had a red flag with a wither skull. I was puzzled by its appearance. A man came down to greet me.

?: 'Hello prince, quickly, get on the ship.' He said in a sinister voice.

I got on the ship, I was unwilling but for some reason I boarded it. I didn't realize that Tibby wasn't with me though. I thought they were a new ally, but are they?

?: 'Look at the gore you've created, we must clear it.'

BladeRend: 'I had to kill it before the people of CrestHearth got killed!'

?: 'Fair enough.'

We flew over the arena, then I started to wonder.

BladeRend: 'Wait, who are you, why did you tell me to come aboard?'

I approached him and suddenly, he grabbed a sword off the hands of his comrade and he pushed me all the way to the edge of the ship, I hang on to dear life! Why is he doing this?! He teleported in front of me and with the side of the hilt of the sword he took, he forcefully hit me on the face and I fell all the way to the center of the arena.

I struggled to not lose consciousness, but I felt a great pain swell on my left cheek that he hit me. It was badly bruised and bleeding. I could feel my mouth bled as well as blood slathered all over my mouth. I dragged myself to get on my feet. The ship landed outside the arena and the members enter the arena. Only then I saw clearly who stood before me. He was no man, he was a revenant in disguise!

He was wearing red and black robe armor. His face was covered by a gold mask and it was attached to a red and black helmet. His eyes were deep red.

BladeRend: 'What's going on? What are you evil doers doing here?' I questioned as I picked myself up.

Darce: 'Hello…prince, I am Darce, king of the Revenants, this is the new faction which I called The Cult, we are here to avenge Rhatous and take over the realm!'

BladeRend: 'No! You revenants will never learn!' I hollered and charged right at the ship while suddenly, a female figure appeared in front of me.

?: 'No.'

A graceful figure stood between me and Darce. She looked about 20-30. She had black long hair, highlighted with blue, light skin, violet eyes. She wore black robes with red and gold trim, knee long leather boots that were black, her hands were wrapped by violet fingerless gloves. In her hand, she held a razor sharp scimitar.

Darce: 'Let me introduce to you my daughter, her name is Elnora, before you face me, prove yourself by facing her.'

I drew my new blade, The Blade of Melympus, my new god sword, forged by my Dad himself. Elnora seemed surprised from looking at my new weapon.

Elnora: 'Let's see what you got kid, I'll take you on!'

She pointed her scimitar at me and I lifted the big blade. I charged at her and we locked blades, we pushed and shoved but it was a draw. I threw a lightning bolt at her, she jumped and fired magic bolts at me but I evaded. We clashed swords, until she stepped back and pierced her scimitar into the ground and a shock wave came flying at me, I managed to fly up just before it hit me. I landed on the ground and she came charging at me, when she neared me, I used a magic attack using the blade and pierced the ground and a lightning tornado formed around me, she was knocked back and I charged back at her, I gave her slashes galore and she dodged all of them. She did the same and so did I.

Elnora: 'Now I see how you defeated Rhatous.' She grins and looks at me.

BladeRend: 'Yea right, you're going down!' I run towards her and slashed but she blocked and pushed me back. I used my blade to shoot beams of energy at her, some hit her but she managed to dodge some of them. Then I jumped up and smashed the blade down and lightning shot from the tip of my sword towards her. She could not dodge and got shocked, she cries out in pain. I sped towards her and shot lightning rays at her, she jumped and landed behind me. She grabbed my arm and tossed me up, I back flipped and landed behind here, as she turned around I gathered as much energy as I could in my Melon Bringer and gave a forceful punch in a her stomach. Blood shot out from her mouth and she falls, clutching her stomach. About to impale her, Darce teleported in front of me and punched my head and I flew all the way to the wall of the arena.

Darce: 'Still got some fight in you after suffering injury.'

He blasted me and the wall broke, I fell outside the arena. Pain surged through my body, Darce approached as I tried my best to pull myself together.

Darce: 'This ends here, prince of BladeRealm.' A Warhammer appeared in his hand, the handle was black and the head was red. He was poised to strike down on me, when suddenly, a strong beam shoots out of nowhere and hits Darce. Zardoure, Kiera and BladeXend arrived to my aid.

Zardoure: 'Wretched revenants, you just keep coming.'

Darce: 'Oh if it isn't the great General Zardoure. You would dare approach me?'

Zardoure: 'We will see.' He stood ready for battle. Suddenly, the beautiful Elnora caught his attention. Since the moment I saw Elnora, I could not sense any evil energy, and I knew Zardoure felt the same.

Kiera and BladeXend help treat BladeRend of his injury, Tibby swoops down after he sees him injured.

Kiera: 'I told you that you needed help, look at you now. We are all here to help you, you just need to accept.' Her words told me that my characteristic of not accepting help wasn't benefitting me, I had no choice now.
