The Fight To Stay Alive

NOTE: Okay, the other author, Vega Knight, is back from his vacation! And he was the one who wrote this chapter!

Disclaimer: Okay, if ya want a disclaimer, go to the other chapters!!!! -.- Thankee. Now, on with the chappie!

The three bandits where running away happily with their gold, when suddenly, Brian stopped straight. He looked at his hand, then pointed it on a nearby three that was then suddenly totally incinerated. He watched in awe as the realization of what he did made its way to his rather small (yet he was the most intelligent of the three) brain. The two other where amazed and asked him how did he manage that?

Brian: Herrr, dunno. I just felt that it was normal for me to do that, just like when we fought those guys back there...

Kyle: Hey! That's right! We did magic there, too! And it seemed pretty potent! I didn't even have conscience of it, it's just like if somebody else was controlling my body!

Glen: Wow, I sure wonder what that mean, hey, do you think we can do other thing, like flying or using super strength?(and on this, he lift a huge stone two time its size) Cool!

Brian: But how? How is it that all of this power came to us so suddenly? Huh? What did I just say? Looks like my speech got more elaborate as well...

Ceepy voice: Those are the gifts I bestowed upon you, mortal fool!!! I chose you as the instrument of my vengeance against those foolish humans who dared to defy me! I split into all three of you the power of my last great priest, adding a few extra from my own power in case your adversary would hold on better than I expected. But with the cursed gauntlet with them, that negate the magic of the possessor, and greatly reduce the skills, both mental & physical of all nearby ally, I was pretty sure they couldn't stand up to you...

(Then, a shadowy figure appeared the one of a very tall long blue haired mage with eyes colder than the chilliest of northern wind.)

Dynast Gausherra: BUT YOU FAILED MISERABLE WORM! You didn't killed them, you just ran away with their miserable purse like the lowly robber you are! The three thieves fell on their knees, asking for forgiveness.

Dynast: ...I will not tolerate ANY other mistake, I want you to return there, be cautious, try to take them by little group, one at a time if possible, and this time, no mercy, murder them, murder them all, and I will reward you beyond your imagination!

Brian, Kyle & Glen: (with eyes flaring icy blue) Yes, my lord!

(further, with Zel & Amelia)

Zelgadis: Oh god, I have to manage a healing spell, I'm losing far too much blood, and this young girl needs help too...wait, what's that on her wrist? The demonic blood within him saw the aura of evil and curse that surrounded the dark artifact. With great effort, he managed to get away of it, and feeling his mind clearing a little, he managed a few minor healing at least to stop the bleeding and more or less get his arm to be able to move. Then, trying to keep his mind clear, he got nearer to the girl, and with inhuman toughness, he managed to heal the more severe of her wound enoughtso that she stopped bleeding too. And the gray color that her skin was starting to take turned slowly back to a more healthy white/pink one. Feeling that it was unsafe to stay there, Zelgadis took the "young" girl in he's arms, and tried to lift her, he hardly managed it, but somewhere in his clouded mind, he knew that she was of a big importance to him, although he didn't know in which way. While he was holding here, trying to walk as fast as he could (which was rather slowly for the lighting fast chimera.) He noticed that the young girl in question might be a lot maturer than he thought, first. He now saw that she was about as tall as him, which he didn't notice when she was on the ground, maybe even taller. And her full curves pressed against his chest where making his blood boil (which wasn't really good in his physical state.). He realized that the sleeping clothes of the girl, large enough to hide her voluptuous form and decorated with small puppy and cute lil bear might have made her seem much more childish...

Zelgadis thought which adult women would wear that kind of clothes to sleep instead of a night jacket anyway? And in a forest maybe full of monsters where those clothes will prevent her from fighting efficiently! Jeez, what did I get myself into again?

At this thought, he suddenly noticed a shadow moving on the left side of the forest path...
