Chapter 10: New world old people

The tall dark figure stood in the door way of Reaver's mansion with his eye's cast to the marble floor. Violet felt someone approach her from behind and she let out a small sigh of relief when she realised it was Ed. He too, was staring up to the anonymous figure in question. Then, the assumed to be man lifted his hand up to Reaver.

Reaver frowned slightly, "State your name outsider," He commanded.

The man remained silent and suddenly, powerful bolts of lighting shot from the his gloved hand. Reaver's eyes widened as the force hit him and knocked him to the floor. The crowd of people all stepped back. Some of the women screeched and the men cowered slightly. The man walked towards Ed.

"You. You are one too. I can not leave any behind. He said not to leave any. Not to leave any."

Just as the man raised his hand to Ed, Violet stepped forward with her Will charged and force pushed him back. He staggered which made Violet and Ed gasp and look at each other. A normal human would have been sent into a wall but this man merely staggered. They looked back and saw as he charged up his lighting and both rolled out of the way. Ed threw a fireball at him which was a successful hit and Violet summoned blades. Each one ripped through his body brutally and his blood painted the marble floor yet this man did not seemed fazed. Suddenly, the man raised his hand and wickedly sharp spikes pieced up from the ground and each one struck Violet and she fell to the floor. Hard. Her head cullieded with the ground leaving her dazed. She lay still in her own blood. Helplessly, she watched as Ed, her best friend, struggle to match the man's skill. Ed charged another fireball but this time, the man rolled out the way and hit Ed with a powerful lighting bolt which sent Ed flying into the wall so hard, that some nearby pictures fell to the floor and smashed. Ed slammed to the ground. The small shards of glass from the picture frames sliced his skin. Violet watched as the man slowly approached Ed and then, her world turned dark.

Stiffness plagued Violet's weak and heavy feeling body. Gradually, her version returned and she examined her surroundings. She appeared to be in a jail of some sort. The stone ground and walls brought a cold feeling and at the entrance, there seemed to be a mysterious blue glint. Violet approached it. Cautiously, she lifted her hand and tried to touch it, but as soon as her fingers got near to it, she flew back into the stone wall. Painfully, her back scraped along the sharp rocks on the wall. She groaned in pain. Her whole body felt devoid of any power and she fell into a heap onto the cold floor.

"You will never escape that way." Came a voice.

Violet could only hear, "Where are you? I can't see you." Violet said trying to look through the gaps of the rocks in the wall.

"I am in the cell right of yours."

Violet made her way over to the wall on the right "who are you?" she asked.

"I am John. I have been in this forsaken place for 10 years and counting."

"What's happening? Why are we here?" Violet asked desperate for answers.

Just then, before Violet's question could be answered, a very brawny guard with broad shoulders stormed his way down the narrow corridor.

"You there," he said pointing at Violet, "Come with me."

The assumed spell or charm was lifted off the entrance and roughly, the guard grabbed Viola's small arm and dragged her out of the prison. Another guard came and dragged John out of his too.

After a short amount of time, they were lead to a round room that was rather big and had a blue tint to it. There was a big glass window that looked out towards the dark sea and there the same figure stood. He remained silent. Just then, Reaver and Ed were dragged in and they all exchanged glances.

The figure turned around and for the first time, Viola got a further look at his face and was horrified at what she saw. He had no eyes, just white glowing holes that took their place. His head was over taken with large red spikes that grew from his scalp and he was very pale.

"I, am the Commandant, and I work for Lord Lucien. I was given the task to find and destroy all the heroes, and here you all stand."

Reaver sniggered "Lord Lucien has not been on these soils for at least 50 years."

"Silence!" The Commandant snapped.

Slowly, he made his way over to Ed "We will start with you."

Just as he drew his hand up, a tapping sound caught all their attention. It got louder. Then, Shadow peeked his head around the corner.

The Commandant glanced at the dog and walked up towards it. Shadow started growling before suddenly leaping at the Commandant and then pelting towards its mistress. Shadow attacked the guards which gave the heroes time to join the fight.

Violet, Ed and John charged up their will while Reaver drew a blade and swiftly made his way to the Commandant to retrieve his gun which had earlier been taken off him. The very broad and strong guards fired and struck the heroes but they were no match. Ed used blades and Violet used ice and without too much effort, the guards were brought down and all was left was the commandant. John managed to hit him with fire but the commandant struck him with a very powerful lighting spell which made him fall in agony. Reaver-now with gun in hand- Shot at him and made him stumble back and Reaver successfully dodged the attacks that were aimed his way.

After a long battle and many wounds, the Commandant fell. Ed struck him with a chain of blades and after the sixth one, he fell. Covered in blood and his once white eyes now black, the Commandant was finally defeated. Violet immediately ran over to John. He had a burn on his side and had broken his leg by the way he fell on it.

"Ed!" Violet called, "come help me."

Violet put an arm around him to help him walk and Ed hurried over and did the same. The five of them (including Shadow) slowly limped their way out of what seemed to be the Spire all dragging their feet and panting heavily.
