Hey, sorry that this took a while to get out, I've been preoccupied. Also, I'm going to be dedicating some more time to this fanfiction as long as people continue to ignore my left 4 dead fan fiction
"Why did you not turn yourself in?" A clear voice said,
"Well, for some reason I wasn't very interested in rotting in a cell for eternity, I wonder why?" I said,
"If you had gone hollow, you would have been a danger to your countrymen." The voice said, "I have decided he will go to the asylum."
Theo remembered this as he thrust a humanity into the fires before him, he got annoyed by this memory, they always left people to rot in the assylum, wy do they even bother with those courts? He felt his skin smooth again, and he felt calmer, less likely to crack. Before, he had felt fragile, as if he could have lost it at any moment. He stared into the bonfire, he pictured it now to be an anchor to sanity and life, he reached out and saw the flames part around his hand. He remembered the words of his teacher back in the swamp
"We are born into Dark, and warmed by Fire, but this Fire we cannot touch."
"Ok guys, lets head out, we need to get to the church." Theo said
"Ok coming!" Shouted Lester, as he came out of the right wing of the ruins, he had been spending a lot of time talking to that Petrus character. Theo honestly thought something was sketchy about that man, when he spoke of the companions he awaited he spoke with an edge to his voice. But he put his mind to the road ahead, they proceeded up a trail to the bridge they had seen earlier from the raven's flight. As Theo turned the corner a hollow leaped out with its short sword and cut into Lesters clothing and was promptly beheaded by ulric's zweihander.
"I love this thing, who the hell left it out in a freaking graveyard?" uric said merrily. They kept on through and a hollow above started hurling firebombs at them as another poorly armored hollow rushed them. Theo just held the barbed spear he had found steady as the hollow rushed into it, they saw a properly armed hollow ahead, but they needed to take out the bombarding hollow first. Lester released a ball of force that impacted with the bombing hollow, the hollow proceeded to fall off the cliff,
"Nice shot!" Theo said
"thanks." Lester said, and uric ended the brawl by smashing the armored hollow into the ground with an overhead swing from his sword,
"Love it, so much!" uric said loudly.
they climbed the steps taking down two more hollows as they reached the bridge which turned out to be more of an aqueduct, Theo looked around and found himself facing a mutated rat rearing up to claw at him. He impaled it with his spear and kicked it,
"What the hell was that?" Theo said in disgust,
"I had no idea that animals were hollowing too." Lester said, "It is supposed to affect people only." Theo found a sprite of humanity among the corpse and put it in his pack,
"Why would a rat have humanity? That's my question." Theo said, "let's keep moving, those bells won't ring themselves!", they made it out of the aqueduct and immediately a battle axe wielding hollow leapt at them, Theo rolled out of the way and fell down a pit breaking his right arm. He got up and saw someone running down the corridor,
"hello, wait up, who are you!" Theo said, he started jogging after the person until it stopped running in a courtyard, then it turned and he saw that it had been a hollow. He turned and saw three hollows behind him and four had climbed over the rails to the yard. Panicking Theo shoved the one close to him off the railing and shot a burst of fire into another's face, he stabbed another in the neck with the spear. One swung its broken sword at him, but through instinct he grabbed the hilt and redirected the blow to kill another hollow as he kicked it over the rails too.
He rolled to the last three and made a long swing with the spear and cut through all of their necks.
"Ok, I have no idea how I did that, but I don't think I can do that again if I tried." Theo said to himself in shock.
don't worry I'm going to put up another chapter today, I have a lot of free time today, also, I can incorporate one more character, I would love to hear whatever suggestions you have for a character. Ill incorporate the character before or after the belfry gargoyles, feel free to leave any helpful criticisms or suggestions.
