Chapter 9-Finding a cure, Night's Edge we meet

Year 2011, January 5th

BladeRend's P.O.V

I awoke from my sleep, still half-awake I looked over at Wolf. She was lying there…

I snapped out of the daze and saw Wolf lying on a bloody pillow! I charged over to check her out, her mouth was slathered with blood, looks like she had coughed up a lot in her sleep. I quickly sprinted to the medic's hut, my spikey crimson hair flying with the wind as I ran. On the way I see Karina and Bobcat awake and I call them to come with me as well. I got the medic to come over to Wolf's place, he checked her pulse as we waited anxiously.

BladeRend: 'Now what doc?'

Medic: 'The infection is serious, a golden apple alone won't do the trick. Looks like it requires some demonic energy to purge it.'

BladeRend: 'Demonic energy? Where do I get those?'

Medic: 'Hmm, a weapon! If you can find a demon empowered weapon and cast it upon her, it will purge the infection.'

BladeRend: 'Demonic weapon…'

Karina: 'I can lead you to one.'

I looked at Karina curiously.

BladeRend: 'Really? How?'

Karina closes her eyes and goes into a stance for a few seconds then snaps out.

Karina: 'Ok I got the scent.'

BladeRend: 'What just happened?'

Karina: 'I used some of my magic abilities to scout out where the nearest demon aura was, let's go.'

We headed out of the village and followed Karina's lead. She looks like she is searching by smelling the aura. How? I only smell…Snow? We trudged up the mountains and eventually snow showed up all over the ground. It was starting to feel really cold, Bobcat was so cold he had to summon a fireball to help, Karina was so cold she used magic to regulate her body temperature, I was so cold I was shivering.

Bobcat's fireball levitates beside me so I could warm up a little bit. We finally make it to a mountain village, it was covered with snow and villagers were all muffed up with thick clothing. They had an automatic wool farm from a spider spawner trap. But where was the demon aura coming from? The spiders?

BladeRend: 'Where is the demon aura?'

Karina: 'Hold on just a second.'

She glances around then goes back to her stance and after she opened her eyes, she was scratching her head in confusion.

BladeRend: 'Karina?'

Karina: 'Well…'

Bobcat: 'Don't keep us in suspense, quickly tell us!'

Karina: 'Alright, we have to go to that peak.'

She points to the peak of the mountain and we continued up the mountain. We arrived atop and we see a monument.

BladeRend: 'Is this it?'

Karina: 'Yes it is, it's coming directly from here.'

I inspect it and look around it.

BladeRend: 'Where's my weapon?'

Karina: 'That's one thing I'm confused about…'

Then I feel a vibration coming our way and quickly unsheathe my Klinge.

BladeRend: 'Prepare yourself there is trouble!'

They draw their weapons and prepare to fight. Then suddenly a huge creature bursts out from the ground, it was a large wolf-like creature with the skin of a creeper. It stood over 6' tall, and stared us down with its menacing magenta eyes.

I ran at its leg and stabbed it, it tries to shake me off but Bobcat runs in and hammers its face with his pickaxe. Karina casts a magic bolt from behind and hits the Creeper Wolf, Bobcat points his finger at his face and a flame ball shoots up at it. I revealed my Melon Bringer and I grabbed tight on its leg and gave it a shock right after Bobcat backs away from it. The green electricity caused major pain for it, it shakes me off and I was thrown back and I hit the monument on my back. The back of my head was bleeding, but as my blood touches the monument, it lights up and it cracks open. A blinding flash of light appears inside it, as I cleared the debris I see before me a great weapon! I was a curved blade, magenta-purple hilt and handle guard, the blade was a dark bluish-purple and emitted demonic particles. It had a small gem in the middle with weird changing colors. It hovered towards me slowly and goes into my hand, I sheathed Klinge to try this new blade out.

BladeRend: 'This is it we found it!'

Karina: 'Great! Let's finish of this monster.'

I sliced the air and caused waves of demon energy to fly at the Creeper Wolf, it was knocked off its feet. I ran at it and before I reached it, I leaped high up and impaled its heart. It howled in pain and falls dead.

BladeRend: 'Excellent sword! What's its name though?'

Then a glow in the debris caught my attention, it was a scroll. I picked it up without hesitating and it read: 'Whomsoever claims Night's Edge with their own blood shall be granted eternal service of it, it can depict its user's feeling from the gem on its guard and the color changes depending on the user's feelings. The Night's Edge contains demon power, however it may not necessarily be utilized for the sake of evil.'

BladeRend: 'Guys take a look, Nights Edge!'

They came over and read through the scroll that I found.

Bobcat: 'Awesome you got a new weapon. And this will help Wolf?'

BladeRend: 'It just has to.'

I managed to stow it using magic, it disappears into a flame of blue. I could re-summon it and stow it at my own will.

We slowly make our way down the mountain, eventually we hit the foot and it was still late afternoon and we have time to head over to Wolf's to try and cure her. We quickly headed into Wolf's room, we entered and see blood dripping down her mouth and she was wincing. The medic was try his best.

BladeRend: 'We got the weapon now what?'

Medic: 'Quickly give her a small cut.'

BladeRend: 'You want me to what?!'

Medic: 'Quickly you need to.'

I reluctantly cut her on her forearm. But some demon energy escaped into her wound, the medic quickly seals it with a bandage.

Medic: 'That should do it, now we wait for her to wake up it'll probably be the next day.'

The medic left us to watch over her. When night fell, I pulled out dinner for everyone and we were still waiting for Wolf to wake up. Maybe we really had to wait till tomorrow. Bobcat was sitting leg crossed on the floor, he folded his arms while looking at the floor and occasionally looked up. Karina was so bored she was just flipping her wand around. I was pacing around while keeping my emerald eyes staring at Wolf.

It was 10 o'clock, Bobcat fell asleep on the quartz couch while Karina was starting to fall asleep while leaning on the drawers. I was still keeping my eyes peeled, but was starting to feel drowsy and I walked over to the carpet, fell flat on my face on it and fell asleep.

Year 2011, January 6th

I slowly opened my eyes as I found myself lying on the couch, I glanced around and saw Karina and Bobcat missing, and so was Wolf! Covered over me was a soft cloth material, I sprang out of the couch and lifted it and saw it was Wolf's robe! What happened?

With the clothe in hand, I ran outside the keep and see Bobcat and Karina sitting near our tent. They were looking behind it strangely. I sped over to them.

BladeRend: 'Guys? Where is Wolf?'

Karina: 'Good timing lad, she's just showing us how she freezes the lake and unfreezing it.'

I looked over behind the tent and saw by the lake, Wolf!
