THIS CHAPTER IS VERY GORY AND DARK! READ AT YOUR OWN DESCRETION!
Travis rushed forward, unarmed and on fire. Most of the men were fleeing in terror or on the ground screaming. Of the few who were standing was a man with a lance. He tried to stab Travis only to have his lance grabbed and jerked to the side. Travis pulled him forward and looked him in the eyes. The man felt his heart beat increase and he knew true fear.
Travis opened his large maw and clamped down on the man's forehead, razor sharp teeth digging through flesh and bone with ease. He jerked his head back and tore the front half of the skull with him. He spat them flesh and bone out before walking forward to the retreating soldiers.
They got to the gate and closed it, hoping they could keep the demon Drakaryn away from them. When Travis reached the gate he stared at it a few seconds before pulling back a fist and delivering a punch that caused it to crack and lurch back with a groan. Then men inside tried in vain to hold the door closed.
Travis delivered two more punches that didn't get the results he wanted. He roared and backed up a few feet. He opened his wings and used them to help him rush forward. He slammed into the gate and sent the splinters and men everywhere. He walked in with his fists clenched tightly and his red eyes darting around for any immediate movement.
A row of men with lances made a wall in front of him and waited. Travis put his wings in front of him like a shield and started to rush them while fire flowed off him. When he made contact the spears bounced off his wings and to the side. When he hit the three men in front of him he broke a large quantity of bones. He opened his wings quickly and sent the others careening into walls with loud cracks.
He folded his wings up and continued his walk towards the palace. Upon arrival he saw the last of the Valmese army waiting for him. He roared into the sky, rage sounding everywhere and then started to rush them all. He would leave none standing.
I watched him smash his way into the capitol, still in shock at what happened. Most of the Valmese army retreated in a last ditch effort to escape him. I stood and started to run towards where he went when a light appeared in front of me and a women with green hair and pointed ears appeared in front of me. She had worry written on her face and held her hands out in an attempt to stop me.
"Don't follow him." I stopped but looked to where Travis had disappeared to. I returned my gaze to this women and shook my head.
"I have to get to him. He's not thinking straight. I have to help him." I tried to move around only for her to move to the side to stop me again.
"You're right, he's not thinking straight. All he can see right now in things that need to be killed. You will be no different, Emmeryn. You can't go in there. He could mistake you for a threat and rip you to pieces. That army is already dead, no stopping him now. Please, wait for him to calm down and then you can help him."
I looked down, contemplating the options. I knew what I had to do. I pushed past her and made my way towards the capitol. she jumped back in front of me and started to growl.
"Stop! Didn't you hear me!?"
"I did! But, I'm not going to let him go in there and snap himself to pieces. I need to help him, even if it means I could die! Now, stand aside before I make you!" I reached for my staff and started to send bits of magic into it.
"You-" She stopped and looked up. A green light was present and was pulsing. The women nodded and looked back to me.
"You may help him. But, please be careful. He won't think straight. He isn't the same man you know anymore." She stood aside and I started to make my way to the capitol. I would help him, I had to.
Travis let out a blood thirsty roar and looked at the hundreds of corpses around him. All torn and burnt beyond recognition. He looked to the palace door and saw a small amount of guards out front. They consisted of a man with a bow, one with a lance, one with a sword, and a mage.
He walked forward and the man with the lance tried for a lunge. He snatched the lance from him hand, twirled it, and stabbed the lower part of the man with it. He twisted it up and forced it through the man's body until it came out of his opposite shoulder. Travis lifted the man, not mounted on the lance and stabbed the bottom into the ground so he hung there, still alive.
Travis moved to the swordsman who swung at him head. He caught the sword in his mouth and the in one quick swipe of his claws, took the head clean off the man. The mage shot a Thoron blast at him, only to watch Travis bat it aside with one hand. The man fired shot after shot until Travis grabbed the book and pushed the man to the ground.
Travis lit the side of the book and slammed it into the man's gut. Travis picked him up and kicked him away. The tome started to burn and all the electrical energy was released into the man's body, causing him to explode into a gory pile of slop.
The bow man shot an arrow, only to have Travis snatch it out of the air. He had his back to the palace door and started to reach for another arrow. He nocked it and fired, only to have that one caught as well. When he tried to reach for another Travis threw one of the arrows into his hand, pinning it to the door. The man was shocked and then felt his bow get yanked out of his other hand.
Travis slammed the head of the man into the door and then moved behind him, bow in both hand. He put the bow around the man's neck and started to pull. The man felt the lack of oxygen and everything was going blurry. Travis switched to the string and in one swift tug severed the head of the man from his body. He threw the bow to the ground and turned his rage to the door.
He engulfed his hands in fire and slammed them into the reinforced door. He did the numerous times and the changed tactics. He stabbed his tail through, impaling a few men, and started to slash the lock s holding the door closed off. When he was done he retracted his tail and pulled his right fist back. He let out a roar and punched the door off its hinges and a few feet back, crushing everyone underneath it.
He walked through and set his eyes on his target. The devil in red.
"Red, devil. Red devil. Kill, destroy, KILL! Kill, kill, kill! DESTROY!" Travis started to make his way forward when a man in large red armor and a large moustache stepped forward. He had an axe and his moustache twitched. He swung only to have it stopped with one hand. He tried to slam his shield into the crazed Drakaryn to have that caught as well.
Travis yanked on the shield arm and it came off easily. He pulled the axe out of the man's hand and pushed him into a wall. He swung the axe and pinned the man's arm to the wall. While the man tried to free his arm Travis waited for the perfect moment to strike. The man opened his mouth to scream when Travis grabbed his teeth with both hands. One for the top jaw and one for the bottom.
He pulled and the man leaned back and started to cry out in agony. Travis pulled apart and the man's skins around his jaw started to tear. Then the jaw dislocated and the man screamed as loud as he could. Travis gave a final tug and ripped the top half of the head off. He looked at it before growling and throwing it to the floor. He walked forward and saw a man with an egg head and purple hair.
Travis approached him while the man started to launch large streams of fire at him. Travis walked through them and closer to the man. While in the fire Excellus couldn't see Travis but he never stopped shooting the flames. A scaled hand shot out of them and grabbed his. In a tug his right arm was gone. Excellus took a few steps back but watched as the fire faded away.
He saw the silhouette of what could only be described as a monster. The large wings wide open and the large claws, and fangs bared and ready. The red eyes looking straight into his soul. Merciless and hunting for him. Excellus was terrified.
Travis grabbed his other hand and ripped that one off as well. Excellus fell to the ground as his blood tainted the ground around him. He roll to his chest and looked at Walhart with begging eyes.
"Help me!" Travis slammed the arm into the back of his head, letting a loud crack echo throughout the chamber. Travis raised the arm again, only when this hit connected Excellus's head exploded, much like when someone stepped on an egg. Travis released the arm and made his way towards Walhart.
Walhart wasted no time and rushed the Drakaryn. He swung at the head only to have his Wolfberg stopped. Travis used his free hand and punched Walhart back. Travis used the now relinquished Wolfberg and sliced off Walhart's legs at his knees. The red devil now stood shorted and almost on height with Travis.
Travis raised the Wolfberg up and brought it down on Walhart's forehead, cracking the skull. When Travis pulled up the head came with the axe. Travis changed his grip and slammed the handle down Walhart's neck, where his head used to be and stepped back.
He didn't know what to do now. He had killed everyone, no more darkness to destroy.
"Travis."
It was hard walking through the capitol that was littered with corpses. I had seen death, but this was a whole new level. I felt like gagging. Or being sick, or both. I reached the palace and had to look away as I practically choked. The entire Valmese army, or what was once the Valmese army, had been decimated by Travis. I had never seen such a gruesome scene before.
I had to relax and catch my breath before attempting to move through the field of corpses. Brutalized was the best way to describe their condition. Very little of them were recognizable, and even less could be considered people at one point.
I reached the door and found a headless man pinned to it by an arrow. I walked it and saw Travis staring at a dead Walhart. The way he had died was the part the made me sick. His axe was being used to mount his severed head on his shoulders. I walked in and saw Travis was just standing there. The arrow wounds from when he protected me were still visible on his back.
"Travis." He flinched. Slowly he turned to me and I didn't see Travis. Rather, a draconic creature, covered in blood and gore. He looked at me with his blood red eyes and let out a hiss. He slowly walked his way towards me, lowered in an animal like stance. His head cocking to different sides as he studied me. He let out a low growl before coming within a few feet from me.
His tongue clicked quickly before slowing into louder, much more menacing ones. He cracked his maw and I saw his teeth, as he let out a low hiss. I sucked in a breath as he moved to be a few inches from my face. He let out a hot breath through his nose and I gasped. He opened his jaws and I saw his teeth were coated in blood. I didn't move and just looked him in the eye.
"This isn't you. Please." I could see him flinch and falter. He growled before opening his mouth wider and letting his draconic tongue flick out. He let out a breath that caused the back of his throat to glow blue from the built up fire.
"Please." I was practically begging now. I couldn't do anything, nothing but hope I could get through to him.
"Regardless of what you do, I will not leave, or fight back. I could never hurt you." His eyes flashed brown quickly before returning to their red color.
"Emm?" It was dark and confused. I nodded and gave a weak grin. I felt tears in my eyes as he slowly changed back. The bones in his jaw, skull, and legs cracked in horrid sounds as they realigned themselves. Except his legs only mildly changed. His horns cracked back into his skull and under his flesh.
His snout snapped into place, and his teeth returned to normal. His claws retracted and he let out a groan once he turned back to normal. He took in a breath and stared at me with his now brown eyes. He snapped forward and I gasped, but realized he was hugging me instead.
"Thank you." I returned the hug and felt the tears leaking out of my eyes. I felt something on his back. It was warm and wet. I looked at my hands and saw blood, and lots of it. I gasped and saw how pale Travis was. He was wobbly on his feet and gave me a smile before collapsing. I puled out my staff and was now starting to cry.
"No!" I started to cast healing spells in him and saw they were barely working. He was losing too much blood. He was going to die at this rate.
"Stay with me!" He opened his eyes and smiled at me.
"It's... ok. I love you... Emm." The last part I barely heard and I tried to heal him. He let out a breath and I didn't see his chest moving.
"No! Please, Travis! Wake up! No!" I held him close and started to cry.
"Why, Naga!? Please, someone help him!" I tried to shout more but couldn't. I was crying too much.
There you go. Don't hate me. I won't care and it will accomplish nothing. Nothing! Now then, have a nice day, and may the Aura be with you.
