Chapter 4 The Unsealing
The city was dark with Ayleid crystals imbedded in to the earthen stone of the walls. There were stairs in which Solus slowly stepped down to a bigger room where he saw a trapped tile. There were blood stains on the tile surrounding a circler hole in side it.
Solus raised his hand and recited, "Alteration heaven boots." He began to rise up and he floated across the air above the deadly pit. He landed just in front of a terrified rat that ran away in fear from the evil air-walker.
Solus moved farther into the dungeon meeting several rats and crabs. He even went through a gas vent to reach a gold iron door that led into Lenwin's chambers. He opened the gate and saw the corridor in which led to her.
At the end of the walkway he reached a large lit chamber. The chamber was fairly bare with only a chest, a box, and a bed. Next to the chest was an armored person. The armor was in the ebony class and the sword that the person wielded was something the likes Solus had never seen before.
"Hey you there," Solus called out to them.
"Yes what do you want," said the woman in an evil tone.
She turned around and looked straight at Solus. He stared right back and began, "You there who are you," he said even though he knew the answer. "Me I am Umbra, this place is Umbra, and my sword is 'Umbra'," she said drawing her sword from the side.
Solus mimicked her movements drawing out Soulless. He pulled it to his front preparing for a quick battle. She moved the sword to her side in an awkward position. She raised the sword and began to run forward yelling, "FOR UMBRA."
She came down with a strike from her left shoulder. Solus met and replied with a side swipe and then a thrust. The blows were blocked as well. He was calm as she swung angrily at him in an attempt to break him into pressure; it failed along with her attempts to strike.
Lenwin began to rise in fatigue. Her breathing became heavy and her movements slower but her skill started to improve immensely. Her strikes became more powerful and precise, and her aim was targeting his vitals in serious places.
"YOU'RE INHUMAN," she screamed as a strike to his neck was blocked.
Her scream was shrugged off by his calm expression and his lack of fatigue. Eventually she staggered back and blacked out from exhaustion. He saw it as an opening in which to strike. He ran forward with the sword in front.
His streak came down from his head and as he blinked before the kill, he was in Oblivion again. His strike came down to nothing but air. He looked around and saw it wasn't a normal plane of Oblivion but instead a weird looking swamp island area.
He saw a path that lead to a huge city placed atop a hill. He started to look about again. He saw that he was standing on a huge mountain above the swamp as he examined his current surroundings. It looked as if the place was divided into evil and good for trees and landscapes were opposites in contrast. One was colorful and divine with bright lovely reds and yellows. The other side was of a place much darker with shades of black dark green and grey molded into it.
"Welcome to my home young one I hope you like your stay because you will be livin here soon, very, very soon. And there will be cheese lots and lots of cheese," Said a voice that sounded almost Scottish.
Solus looked behind him and the lighting from the Ayleid city returned. Lenwin was still in her dream state as Solus became conscious again. He looked to his hand and saw that his sword was still there.
"What is happening to me," he said quietly hoping not to wake his opponent.
He shrugged off his immediate confusion and again began to charge. This time his sword was met with her sword. He looked at her closed eyes. That she was still fighting with.
She pushed his sword away and opened her waking eyes. The eyes that were now gazing at Solus was not the green eyes he was fighting but a deep purple that look as though they were tainted with poison.
"YOU, you are stronger then I am I yield," said Lenwin as she dropped to one knee.
Solus stride over to his kneeling foe with his sword still in hand. He reached her with the intention to kill. Lenwin could only slightly breathe before he came with a strike to her neck. She countered quickly pushing him back to where he stood before.
"This is hopeless I will finish this now," he said with an angered grin on his face.
He raised his hands and said, "Alteration spider boots."
Again he climbed, this time he climbed the chamber walls. When he stood in the direct center he pointed his unarmed hand at Lenwin as he shouted, "DAEDRA DESTRUTION INFINATE FURY," his hand surged with red energy as it piled into his palm. He then opened his hand all the way forcing the energy away from him and into his target.
"What is this power, it is consuming me total…," her last words were cut off by the attack which removed he body from the world. He dropped down and looked at what remained from her, a broken helmet and a black, purple and white sword. He dropped to one knee and retrieved the sword.
It felt light in his hands, and the metal seemed to glow with a faint purple. He placed his own sword with the helm to symbolize his victory over a good foe. He turned and walked back out the walkway.
