Fable ch 9
I don't own Fable…I wonder if this chapter turned out ok.
The Power of Death Bringer
I cut through the bandits like smooth, so smooth butter. Flames erupted around me as I Battle charged through the crowds, stepping on fallen bandits or knocking them back. Reaching the gate, I watched everyone around me as the bandits stopped and stared, there was only a few left, and it seems the surprise attack really mowed down their numbers.
"Anyone else want s to face me!?" I yelled out loud to each of them as they looked at each other. A group tried to jump me as I rolled my eyes and pushed out my will…they went flying back, into the tiny crowd as the bandits stepped back.
"Alright then," I looked at all of them as I once again concentrated on a spell, "Leave now or perish."
I summoned a small group of swords as I watched them, a few started running. 'Attack,' I mentally commanded them before I faced the gates.
"I swear, if there's another bloody gate after this…" I muttered under my breath as I blew a giant hole in the gate…whoever was standing in the other side had better be unconscious.
I entered through the hole I made as I stared ahead in relief…good, no more gates…but more bandits and Twin Blade himself watching me from inside his tent, you would have thought he greeted me at least.
"Well, well well," Twin Blade's voice echoed from inside the tent, "What have we here, a Hero from the guild?"
I stepped forward, keeping my eyes on the bandits that slowly surrounded me, "No, I'm not from the guild." I spoke back to him.
"Interesting," He snapped his fingers, "Attack."
The bandits around me rushed forward, each holding out a sword, grins on their faces.
Time slowed down as I counted off and waited…slowly all the bandits came closer and closer until I lifted one foot up ; I had a grin of my own as I slammed my foot down.
A small sphere of fire sprouted up around me as the bandits erupted in fire and flew back, enflamed.
I watched Twin blade again as he rose up and walked out of the tent…He was wearing some kind of black armor, at least the gloves, boots, and helmet, each had an insignia on them; they looked familiar as he drew out two blades, one was made of the blackest metal that had a little insignia carved on the metal which glowed red, the other was a large sword that had Twin Blades insignia carved on it.
He saw me stare at his armor and weapons before he bellowed in a deep chuckle. "You may have defeated my bandit guards, wizard, "he drew closer, finally towering over me, "But I'll show you why the guild doesn't bother to stop me anymore."
I forced my will out only to hit nothing as Twin blade chuckled again and slammed his fist into my chest, still gripping those swords of his.
I flew back, tumbling as I skidded across the field, finally stopping as I sat up staring at the charging behemoth of a man.
'Ow, that hurts,' quickly I rolled out of the way as I reached for my…broken bow. Crap, I must have crushed it when I landed.
Fine then, fist fight it is, I concentrated my will, healing my chest as I felt a bruise. He came towards me again. I ducked a slash and rolled away when he brought his other sword down. Running up to him; I poured magic into my fists until it glowed a familiar bluish color as I slammed it against his face. Something strange happened after that, my fist past through an invisible barrier of some sort as the glowing energies died out. He didn't even faze at the attack, just shoving me off and striking a fist handled attack at my face…I went skidding across the fields…again.
'David, you're weak'
I felt the blood on my head as I watched a shadowy figure appear behind Twin Blade, his glowing reddish eyes glowed through the dark hood as he walked around Twin Blade.
'Hello evil me,' I lamely replied, my vision slowly correcting itself.
'No David,' he reappeared in front of me, 'I'm just the more powerful side of you…' he offered a hand in his black gauntlets which was glowing blackish reddish light. 'Take it.'
'No,' I gritted my teeth as I stood up weakly as Twin blade charged at me again.
'You don't get it David,' I, me, evil me, stalked towards me as I could literally feel him grab my collar, 'I WILL NOT DIE HERE!' suddenly I felt him thrust his hands into my chest, pouring dark waves of power into me
I felt myself grow cold as Twin Blade froze in his spot… "Not again," I muttered as I felt it, felt the familiar dark powers inside of me.
I fell to my knees in pain, clutching my head, it crept into me, I felt it, I felt it, dear Avo no, "AHHHHHH!!" I roared out in pain…no…not. in. pain…in power… yes…in absolute power.
Frozen in place, Twin Blade stared wide eyes as he felt the darkest powers of magic burst forth from this figure. A Red Beam of Light shot up through the skies as Twin Blade covered his eyes with one fist, but looked ahead.
He watched in horror as black red clouds rose around him, the bandana he wore ripped out of his head as we watched in terror…horns had sprouted on top of him.
He slammed his swords down on the ground…holding on for dear life as dark energies literally blew everything away, a demonic roar continued to scream in mad laughter throughout the black winds, until it finally died. When it was quiet, they stayed in the dark, no light, no sound as Twin Blade didn't move, but he felt it…he knew it…it was a Demon.
Twin blade was a strong man, a man who feared no one, but he was scared, scared as any normal man as he suddenly spotted the eyes…the blood red eyes that stared back at him, the area darker than the night as an evil chuckle could be heard… "…That's mine…"the voice was deep and dark as it ran chills down his spine.
"I.i..it can't be," suddenly he felt his sword, helmet, and armor disappear as he was left bare footed without gauntlets, and felt a burning sensation on his head…he held on to only one of his swords and only wore his chest plate, "the D-Death Knight." He was left, scared and breathless as the night became darker; he continued hearing the chuckles as he felt a long past feeling rise up…the feeling of helplessness.
The shift in shadows was the only warning he received as he brought his sword up…
…Elsewhere…
Billy and his men stayed frozen in spot as did the rest of the villagers.
Having returned to the village, he ordered his men to prepare to go in after David until he felt it…they all felt it.
"Billy," Susie stood by him as she pointed at the skies.
Billy and his men stared at the skies….a bright red light shot through the skies as black clouds covered the starry skies and moon that lit the area.
"W-what is that?" one of his men asked him as he felt a chill run down him.
'It's this feeling again, what's going on!?' Billy remembered the feeling, the feeling of dread and darkness…everyone knew what it was…it was the aura of the Death Knight.
"EVERY ONE GET TO SHELTER!!" Bill roared out, repeating instructions many remembered during the war, "GUARDS, DEFEND THE PERIMETERS, CALL FOR BACK UP, USE THE SEALS!!"
Billy ran through the panicked crowds, restoring order as he grabbed guards and directed them where to go, "DEATH KNIGHT PROTECTION ONE!" he yelled out to the crowd, everyone knew the code, it meant to hide until back up arrives, to break the seals in the barrow fields, to alert the Guild that Death Bringer was here.
"VOLUNTEERS NOW!!!" Billy commanded as he went into the guard's barracks. A few of his strongest and trusted guards followed as Billy opened a trunk and started equipping his old legion uniform.
Many other guards did the same, equipping the old legion armor that represented the people of Albion, one of the strongest armor they have as Billy took out a cloth covered item. Removing the cloth, the sword gleamed the colors of magic; he gazed once again onto his most powerful sword…the sword he was awarded by Lady Grey herself for the act of bravery…the Katana Hiryu.
He stood in front of his men, each adorned in their armor, each holding their best weapons as Billy spoke, "Attackers have your swords ready, Archers, ready your arrows, stick together, and watch each other's back…"he commanded as he marched out of the barracks, heading back to Twin Blade's camp with his men in tow.
'David…what's going on?' Billy thought concerned before speaking out loud to his men, "We're going in."
