Disclaimer I sadly do not own X-men or the characters. Nor do I own Dragon Age and its awesome characters. But! I do own the Plot and my character Alexandria.
Review and tell me what you think :)
I felt air rushing past me causing me to slowly open my eyes to see what looked like a forest. And it was getting bigger...
"What the Fuck!" I yelled as I realized why but it was too late. I covered my face with my arms to shield it the best I could and brought my legs closer to my body. I felt like I hit every branch as I fell.
I hit the ground landing on my left side with such a force I felt something pop causing me to yell in pain. I rolled onto my other side to try to lessen it. I laid there for what felt like hours when I heard footsteps and growling. I looked in the direction of the sound expecting an animal but what I saw instead was unreal.
It was the most repulsive twisted creatures I had ever laid my eyes on. There were five in total 3 tall ones and 2 small ones. They reminded me of the Orcs from Lord of the Rings but they had a more… undead look. I was hoping they would just move along but before I could move they were on me but I quickly used my Sonic Scream to push them back.
I picked up what looked like sword that one of the creatures dropped and the slaughter started. As one of the things ran at me, I sidestepped it and drove the sword deep into its back.
I looked behind me just in time to see another one charging at me. I quickly ducked; the creature's sword barely missed my head. As soon as it passed, I swiped the sword behind myself. The sword caught behind its right knee. It fell into the hard ground, losing the hold on its sword in the process. Without missing the chance I scrambled to my feet and grabbed its sword. Before it could get up I plunged the two swords into its neck. I whipped around to the remaining creature. I pushed my wings out and held the swords forwards in a fighting stance hoping to look intimidating.
It didn't work because looked like they were going to attack, when all of the sudden a roar was heard not too far away.
They stopped, looked at each other, and slowly backed away towards the roars. Soon they disappeared from sight and I could stop myself from falling to the ground in shock.
"What the fuck just happened?" … was I in Lord of the Rings or something? I moved to stand when the weight of the sword in my hand caused my arm pain. I gave a small yell at the suddenness of it. I crouched down on my knees trying to let the pain pass. It was then I realized it must have popped out of the socket… I was going to have to put it back in myself. I've had to do it before but never by myself… let's give it a try….
10 minutes later…
"God dammit!"
Finally! It was back in! I heaved a sigh of relief as sweat was just pouring down my face from the pain. I sat for a few minutes trying to catch my breath. As I did so I thought back to the… deformed Orcs. Whatever they were, they wanted to kill me…. but something called them… what made them back off?
It was then I heard yells come from the distance. I quickly got my wings flapping to the sounds and what met my eyes was a horrific sight.
Armored men were screaming, a few with fear and others with anger, as they fought against the creatures, as I did only a little while ago. The creatures were appearing out of nowhere, killing everything in their path.
I felt my blood being to boil with rage as I watched good men get slaughtered by these things. Before I realized it I was down on the ground yelling the men to get down on the ground.
Everything seemed to stop as the men and creatures looked at me. I put on my most angry Listen-to-me-face and yelled once more. "Get down if you want to live!" they listened this time and did what I said. I took a deep breath and let out a huge Scream… I had to admit I was quite proud of myself. I got it to such a frequency that any creature that got in the wave had there head blow up… like exploded… it was pretty gross.
It was quite for a minute as I fell panting to me knees. I didn't realize how much that took out of me. As I looked up I was not surprised to see a blade in my face. As I looked around at the other men I saw different expressions. Some were grateful, curious, scared, and of course freaked out.
"I should have expected this… humans are all the same," I mumbled under my breath.
"Get up demon!" he yelled looking on the verge of hysterics.
I slowly stood since I didn't want a sword in my chest. But it seemed like he was going to do it anyway. As I leaped into the air slapping my wings to hover out of his reach but a hand had grabbed the man's arm stopped him from skewering me. I look at the man that "saved me". He was tall, dark brown hair, dark eyes. He had stubble on his face; his armor was covered in blood (which I think about half of it was his own), and he looked dead tired. But the one thing I noticed about his was he gave off the air that he was in charge.
"Liam! Stand down! She helped us," he looked at me with gratitude. "If not for her more would be dead."
"Fergus …" Liam the stabbed happy man looked at Fergus in shock. I slowly drifted back down. Fergus walked towards me and held out his hand for me to shake.
I looked at it with some suspicion because this was not a normal thing to happen… hell this had never happened to me before. I slowly put my hand in his and he gave a smile.
"Thank you for helping us," I could help but give a smile back.
"Of course I could let you get slaughter by those… things." Fergus was about to say something when he was pulled back by Liam. He tried to talk in a hushed tone but I heard him.
"Fergus for all we knew she could be a Demon I mean look at-" I was immediately in his face. My sudden moved caused him to gasp and fall on his ass.
I leaned down to look him in the eye. "What? My wings? Look at the fact I'm Different? Or is it the fact that I'm a woman?" I kept getting angrier the more I said. The man was trembling with fear.
"Please! He doesn't know what he was saying?" a voiced yelled. I looked over to see a… boy? He couldn't be over 17! I felt my eyes widen as I looked at him. Light brown hair, blue eyes, freckles a crossed his nose. He looked just like… Jason… I shook my head not to think about him.
"He's my brother! Please don't hurt him," he looked scared. I looked down at the man who was still trembling. I turned my hand into a claw and grabbed him off the ground bring him close to my face.
"I'm going to tell you something's and I'm only going to tell you once, Got it?" he nodded his head immediately.
"One, learn to think before you speak. It could save your life. Two, don't ever call people something they are not. Unless you are ready for the repercussions . Three, the only reason you are still breathing right now is because of him," I pointed to the boy. "Be thankful." I dropped him changing my hand back.
I looked at the rest of the men. "I suggest you leave this place and head back to where you came from."
Fergus said stepping forward. "But we have a mission to-,"
"Screw the mission! You know If I wasn't here most likely all of you would have died!" I gave him a wow-are-you-stupid look.
"These are orders from our King!" Fergus yelled at me.
"If you King was a good one, he would want you to live! Not die for some stupid mission!" I could feel the last bit of energy I had leaving me. I gave a tired sigh as I looked at him.
"Look, all I'm saying is that you can die today knowing you will from some mission that probable doesn't even matter," the men looked at Fergus as I said this. And Fergus well I looked like he was considering my words. "Or, you can live today to fight for tomorrow," I looked at Fergus dead in the eye. "The choice is yours." I started to walk away after a minute or so I was called back and I couldn't help but smile. I turned to see the young boy from before.
"Camps the other way," he gave a weary smile. But shook my head as I looked at him.
"As much as I would like to I-" I was interrupted by Fergus coming over.
"What seems to be the problem?"
"As I was telling…" I gave the boy an appointing look for his name.
"Brendan, miss." He said with a little blush.
"Yes, as I was telling Brendan. I can't go with you." I gave him a sad smile.
"And why not? You saved are lives?" I could tell he was actually tying to get me to go with them.
"Look at me," I gave humorless laugh. "I'm betting there are many more Liam's at your camp and very few people like you. So I will take me leave," I said as I turned around and spread my wings getting ready to fly away.
"Wait! Can you at least tell me your name?"
"Alexandria." was all I said as I flew into the sky. I got about a mile away before my vision started to go. I struggled to make my way to a tree that was big enough to hold me as I collapsed from exhaustion. I tried to stay awake but I felt myself go limp and darkness was all I saw as it clouded my mind.
