Chapter 10
Sype, with the blade in his hands, was almost too shocked to speak. For, he was holding the most exquisite blade he had ever seen. The handle was crafted in gold, and the blade looked so sharp, it was almost like you could cut yourself just by looking at it.
Sype, whose mind seemed to be the only thing moving, just stood there. While he was doing so, Caitlyn noticed that the war was getting fiercer. Worrying the worst, she quickly yelled at Sype. "Sype! Get over here! You need to get out!"
Gaining conciseness he quickly looked up to see Caitlyn with a worried face. How am I going to get up there? He thought to himself. The height that he fell was more than twice his size, and was practically impossible to come out of. "I can't get out!" He told Caitlyn.
Noticing that the war was already inside the village, Caitlyn was getting quick ideas. "Wait right here, I think I can find a rope for you to climb." She said as she headed toward the inn.
"Wait! Don't go! Its too dangerous!" Sype shouted, but it was already too late for Caitlyn had headed toward the inn.
- Caitlyn -
As she rushed toward the inn with her little doll in hand, she couldn't help but feel bad for Sype. As she got close to the inn, she noticed how close the war was. Every minute they got closer and closer, and their weapons would get fiercer and fiercer.
She tried to sneak into the inn without being noticed, and once she got inside, she quickly ran to look for something to help Sype. Searching through all the rooms, she couldn't find anything that seemed to help. Floor by floor, and nothing had what she needed. At the third floor, Caitlyn started to panic. Time was running out, and she needed something fast.
Caitlyn looked out a nearby window and saw the entire battle happening no more than 200 feet from the inn. Oh no… She thought to herself. As she turned around, she saw a dark figure in front of her. It had a human shape, but was covered by a dark silhouette of energy, making it impossible to see who was inside. Before she could think, the dark creature quickly picked her up and threw her out the window. In total shock, she fell from the building, with glass shards piercing her skin. Caitlyn landed on the hard floor still trying to keep hold of her breath. Slowly losing her vision, she managed to see her doll right in front of her. With a slight smile on her face, she tried to reach for the doll, but to her disbelief her it was picked up. Before she could see who did it, her vision completely died away. Scared to death, she used the last of her strength to cry. Then, she was lost in her deep sleep.
- Sype -
Sype fell once again as he tried to climb up and out of the hole. He then sat down and looked at his new blade. He looked at the inscription, "May the power of Mother be with One." and tried to understand what it meant. "The power of mother…" He said to himself as he held up his blade.
Looking at a near by pebble he slowly concentrated on it. Come on, lift…lift… He thought to himself as he held his free hand toward the pebble, and slowly the pebble arose. Speechless, he tried it again but instead with a much larger rock. To his surprise he was able to move it with ease. Sype then looked at his blade and placed it down. He then tried to move the rock, but it didn't move. With a sigh of disappointment Sype picked up the blade and moved the rock near the hole above the cave. The rock was large enough for him to climb up and out of the cave, but before he left we wanted to try something else. Using the blade, he waved his arm hard in the air, and sure enough and large gust of wind came rushing through him. With a large smile on his face he tried this trick one more time, but instead of wind, fire flared through and out of his arm.
"Impossible…" He said to himself. Before he tried anything else, he heard a loud booming noise that awakened him to reality. Using the element of wind to lift him to the air, Sype quickly got out of the hole and ran toward Caitlyn. As he rushed to the inn, he saw just how close the war was. Trying to stay focused, he ran straight toward the inn. When he got there, something got his attention. He looked down to see Caitlyn's doll. Picking it up he looked at it closely noticing scratch marks and small bloodstains. Completely confused, he studied the doll a bit more, but as he looked down he found Caitlyn's beat up body passed out on the floor. "No…" He said as he fell to his knees, bursting in tears. He then picked up her body and held it close. "NO!"
