This chapter doesn't make the cut of how many words I want it to be but with the editing and having the start over with the writing because of a glitch I'm just glad to have posted it today.
Melodias and Elizabeth of who he was traveling with collapsed on the ground. Alfec was in panic trying to wake them up. He tried plugging Melodias's nose hoping the air going down his throat would wake him up.
This was an eerie unconsciousness making him unable to wake Melodias up. Alfec tried the same thing with Elizabeth, she twitched her right arm but she was still sleeping.
The ground and and trees were covered in mist hiding the two friends sleeping. He heard shaky footsteps in the ground as Alfec saw the bodies of his friends being moved; he saw a bump from the mist from where they were. Alfec moved all over the obscure mist until he saw three flying plates with teeth.
" My bō staff isn't some ordinary stick like a walking stick. There is a saying you can only follow in the Lord's footsteps, but it was a tracking ability that helped us find your footsteps."
Any other day Alfec would be happy to fight the monk even with his vampire friend around, but he was in an emergency of finding his friends. These plates floating towards him at fast moving speed didn't deter his thoughts from his friends.
Before the first plate could get to him intending to bite him Alfec made a horizontal slash mark through it with his knife. The other two plates continued trying to bite Alfec while he steadied his weapon for the process of slashing the plates asunder. The first and second ones he slashed open making an X appear on their bodies.
Looming on a tree branch was the once innocent man turned into a blood thirsty vampire. He didn't have to lay a hand on Alfec to hurt him. By touching the tree behind Alfec he turned it into a vampire.
The tall gaunt monk walked towards Alfec applauding him for his victory over the plates with a clap. Alfec hated the monk because he was a four letter word that starts with a D. He tried getting him with his knife only for branches to entangle his arms.
" You lose now and there wasn't even a need for that giant we have." the monk said.
Alfec smiled much to the monk's confusion. Alfec took action, turning upside down unexpectedly and cutting through the branches. The same knife he concealed to cut the branches he stabbed in the heart of the animated vampire tree.
The one who created the vampire plates and tree jumped off the branch landing on the dirt ground.
" You are a very dangerous man." the monk said to the knife wielder.
" You interrupted a relaxing moment that I could have a swig of alcohol, monk." Said Alfec holding his two knives defensively. " Your magic is no match for my wit and striking skills."
" Your days of fighting make you think your far too clever. We will leave now and put you with our new friend."
Alfec found the hubris of them having friends when they just hurt one another. The next thing he knew he lost the two of them in an explosion of light.
Big steps were on their way towards Alfec. The strangest thing wasn't that a giant wanted to crush him. The strangest thing was a female giant wearing all orange one piece suit, long brown hair in a pigtail, and amber eyes was looking at the other giant. Her brown eyes were ferocious when she threw the first punch.
Alfec witnessed a big battle between two beings the size of mountains. The male was fast with his feet kicking his legs in the girls chest. His kicks were fierce only at the best opportunity she grabbed his foot and yanked him towards her. She hit his chin with a strong uppercut launching him the same as a cookie towards an anvil.
Unlike something like that, he only fell on his back while losing unconsciousness. It became apparent the girl giant wasn't on anyone's side after the roundhouse she kicked right into a tree knocking off where the vampire was once perched.
Alfec played innocent like a donkey braying to the giant. " Your my heroine. What you did was-"
She punched the ground making a fissure in the forest ground. Alfec almost plummeted down the fissure if he didn't stop his fall with the knife in his hand.
" I and that giant aren't friends. I have no thoughts on hurting you."
Alfec saw her peering down at the newcomers who found her and she left Alfec down the fissure that she made him fall in. There was a lot of talking about them and the giant being friends, but the giant girl protested she didn't know either of them. Alfec figured out who they were.
" Melodias! Elizabeth!" He shouted.
The sound of Melodias's blade clattering against the ground drowned out his voice. That erratic creature called Diane screamed as lightning glared Alfec's eyes. Just when he thought he met enough crazy people one more zapped himself into the fray.
It took more than lightning to make Alfec fall and because he could climb past the light he made it out of the fissure. The thing-actually someone who was a red haired man clad in white and blue armor-had electricity released from a sheath blade of magic. He was putting up a good fight, only Diane punched him straight into the sky.
" You go girl!" Alfec cheered for strength like a cheerleader. " G-I-A-N-T! What does that spell? Giant!"
Alfec couldn't read the mood. Melodias was on the ground limp and unconscious. He took it upon himself to jump on Diane's hand when she lifted Melodias. It felt great to have a new member, but awful to see what happened to a current one.
