He was in the desert again, first time in a while actually. Although Mistral was great, the desert is where his home is, or was for that matter. It's been three years since that day and it still hurts him.
The 14 year old Mikhai was pretty well taken care of and had loving parents in the small village in the desert way outside Mistral. But there was something very wrong, he stopped learning and stopped being challenged. He couldn't take this, he needed something to learn, it was eating at him like a slow deadly parasite, slowly draining him. One day he finally snapped, that night he left, only leaving a vague note of his intentions on his parents bedside. He traveled the first night and day heading in the direction of Mistral, trying to get as far away from his village as possible. The second night he slept on the west side of a large dune, to get as much shade as he can during the morning. The next day he checked his supplies and left again. This continued for another day or so.
Finally after what seemed like forever to him, forest appeared in the distance. He was elated, forest meant that Mistral wasn't far and that he could finally relax completly with no fear of Grimm. Just as he started to be filled with confidence, he heard a Grimm scream. Recognizing it instantly as a death stalker, he began to move away from the sound, when another death stalker appeared from the forest heading straight for him. Hoping that it hasn't seen him yet, Mikhai darted to the east under the cover of the sand dunes. His effort was futile however because the death stalker already saw him and adjusted it's trajectory. Mikhai knew this was bad because if he fought this deathstalker then the other one would catch up before he could kill this one, but he knew he couldn't outrun a death stalker In the desert. If he could get to the forest he would have an advantage but it was too far away, so instead he brought out his weapon, flamefury. His weapon was a khopesh (Egyptian style curved sword) and had a gold blade with turquoise designs on it and the handle.
He charges the first one coming from the forest, avoiding it's stinger and slashing at the deathstalkers head, but it was blocked by one of the pinchers and harmlessly bounced off. Regrouping, Mikhai changed his weapon's form, the blade curved all the way in until the tip was directly in front of the bottom of the handle and a small flame turned on. Holding his weapon two-handed, he blocked another attack by the pincher and sprayed a stream of flame right into the deathstalker, causing it to yell out in pain and protect itself. Changing his flamethrower back to sword mode, he attacked the soft underbelly while it was weak. He got a few strikes in but nothing fatal, the deathstalker recovered and the second deathstalker showed up into the picture. Mikhai was really on the defensive with both attacking him at the same time, his sword and aura blocked most of the attacks, but he got a couple bruises and a nasty cut from his chin to the bottom of his ear.
Knowing that he couldn't keep this up, mikhai charged his aura, until he was literally glowing turquoise. At full strength his aura changed from turquoise to yellow and the white rapidly. The now white aura flashed exceedingly bright and temporarly blinded the deathstalkers. The two Grimm moved their pinchers to their eyes in a desperate attempt to recover, but it was too late. Mikhai used their disorientation to finish this, he rushed the first the already injured deathstalker and brought down his sword on the joint between the Pincher and the arm. The result of the cleave was the Pincher falling off from it's body. Mikhai picked up the pincher and threw it at the second deathstalker just as it recovered and it wedged it self on it's head to where it looks like the pincher is grabbing onto it's head with no body attached to it. The death stalker frantically tries to pull it off with little luck, with that deathstalker preoccupied, Mikhai focused back on the Grimm with one pincher. The Grimm struck with its stinger, which mikhai side stepped and cut into, this put the deathstalker on the defensive and allowed mikhai to attack viscously. He stayed on the non-pincher side and changed flamefury into flamethrower mode. He blew out the pilot light and pumped fire dust into the opening on the Grimm's arm. After a few seconds he jumped back, relit the pilot light and sprayed. The flames next to the opening caught the inside on fire and started a chain reaction that caused to the death stalker to be burned from the inside out. Color drained from it's already lifeless eyes and faded into ash.
Finally getting the Pincher off, the remaining Grimm looked at it's fallen comrade and screamed in rage. It charged Mikhai, hell bent on revenge, but it was reckless and he dodged it easily, taking the opportunity to swing at it's shorter legs on it's side. He cut two of them in half and rendered one bloody and useless. The death stalker now leaning to one side, brought it's stinger down, but Mikhai jumped forward on top of it's head and flamethrowered the bony plating until it was weak and cracked. He was thrown off by the Grimm, unaware that Mikhai weakened it's head and brought it's stinger down again. This time Mikhai aura jumped above it's tail and began to fall towards the weak spot. He cut the tail in half because it was in the way and brought his sword down as hard as he could into the weak spot. The sword went directly through all the way to the deathstalkers brain, a moment of silence followed as neither the deathstalker or Mikhai moved. At last, the Grimm collapsed and Mikhai moved off of it and opened up his pack to drink some water.
He examined himself, his gold and turquoise tunic shirt has multiple cuts in it and his tan linen pants are singed at the bottom. He sighed,"they better have good tailors in Mistral," he thought to himself. He continued to examine himself and noticed his shoes aren't damaged but look more gray than white, and his upside-down unfinished pyramid necklace was undamaged. After being pleased with his full body examination, he began walking towards the forest and towards Mistral, hopefully for a better life.
