Chapter 39
Amwy's Trial
Amwy only saw darkness past the misty passagway she had just walked through. But after she heard the door close by itself the room lit up and revealed a room full of wind chimes. She looked up and saw a neverending space above her, and along the walls were thousands of wind chimes. They all let out a beautiful sound, a wonderful sound ot Amwy. She had no desire to leave.
But she knew something dangerous was in here. She dropped the bag she was carrying and pulled out all of her weapons. She first found a tight black shirt that came up to her waste and had long sleeves that you could see through. She removed her tunic and replaced it with the shirt. She then observed her black, leather leggins and boots and found them apropriately arranged for fighting.
She then pulled out her trusty, sharp sais and placed them in her boots, giving her easy acces to them if needed. The next to come out was a sheath that held two seperate swords. The swords were more like very long daggers, but they were all the same to Amwy. It was made of leather and the two sheathed swords crossed in the middle. She tied it around her waste and rotated it so the swords were behind her.
"What else?" She asked herself, listening to the chimes. She then had a lightbulb light in her head and she reached in and grabbed two fans from her bag. She then used her great finger reflexes to open them both at the same time with just two fingers. Inside was a metal fan with sharp edges. "I must really be desperate if I ever use these!" She said and placed them in the pockets of her leggins.
She then added the finishing touches to her attire by placing a black cloth on her face that started covering her chin and stoped at the bottom of her eyes. She was now in full assassin form.
The last item she need from the bag was a smaller bag that had two leather straps that were to be placed on her shoulders and carried like a small food bag behind her. Inside she put all her herbs and food and some of the clothes she brought along with her just in case.
"I really need to learn what I need to bring, and what not to bring!" She said giggling. She then double checked everything on her and made a few small adjustments to the bun she had made with her hair. She looked ahead at the exit and walked across the stone floor of the chime room without making noise. When she reached the exit, she looked around. She was now on a rooftop in a village at night. She walked to the edge and looked down to see if she could go there. But the entire ground around the city was full of spikes and snakes.
She recoiled a bit because she didn't like snakes. She looked in front of her and saw another rooftop. She gave her self a running start and gracefully jumped to the other rooftop. But once she landed something kicked he, causing her to fall of. She grabbed the edge of the roof and looked up to see her antagonist. It was a male ninja who had just drawn a sword from his sheath. Amwy concentrated and flew up in the air, flying way from her near death position on the edge of the rooftop. The skill to fly was part of her skills she naturaly has as a Nymph. But she wasn't good enough yet to stay up in the air for long periods of time.
She landed on the roof and pulled her small swords from their sheaths behind her back. While the man was a goos distance away, she dropped the bag she had on her back so she could fight better. The man gave a low grunt and lunged at Amwy. She blocked it and swung her swords at him. He unfortunately also blocked his attackers move and continued to sling his sword at her. The battle lasted for about ten minuetes before the male ninja gave a wrong move, letting Amwy swing her swords at him and slice his throat and stomach. She watched him fall to the ground, but instead of dying, he turned to dust.
"Strange...," she said sheathing her swords, picking upm her dropped bag, and continued hopping along the houses. She then saw the exit. It was a opening that was in mid-air. She could see it at an angle and saw that there was nothing behind it, making it just a hole in the air. She leaped her way atop the houses until she reached it. She jumped into it and turned to see the whole city from a higher view. But there was a wall in its place. She was partly suprised, but partly suspected something like this would happen.
She looked around her. She was on a bridge suspended into air. There was no walls, there was just a place to walk. She feared she would slip, fall, and die. She walked carefully along until she saw something that she feared she would see.... another enemy. But this time it was a brown haired girl. She was standing further along, in a plaza like structure that was a branch off the bridge.
"Thought you had seen the last of me and my friends, huh?" She said snapping her fingers. There appeared many of the fiends that she had killed in the Alexandrian Fields. "Now its your turn to die!" She said throwing a pointed finger at Amwy and causing the herd of animals to run, across the bridge at her. She pulled out her swords and ran after them, but instead if attacking, she flew in the air, landing in the plaza so she could have more fighting space. She dropped the bag on her back and perepared for battle. The animals turned around, some falling off the side to their doom, and some continuing to attack Amwy.
She sliced and diced at the fiends, hoping that she could manage, but there were to many. She eventualy threw her swords towards the two stronger enemies, a bear and tiger, seeping right through there stomachs while they flew at her in mid-air, cutting their spinal cords, leaving them paralyzed.
She then drew her sais and fought back with great agility. She had only five enemies left. She killed one wolf by jamming a sai in the top of its head, and gave up on fighting and threw her sais at the two over-sized snakes, one going through its throat and the other straight through it's head.
The two enemies left were the brown haired girl and a ninja she hadn't seen before. The brown haired girl snickered and looked at the ninja. "Get her!" Amwy didn't have any weapons left, but she had a plan. She stepped to the edge of the plaza, looking down a tthe endless sky. The ninja was coming closer and closer, flying at her with twin swords he planned to slice her with. But right when his sword came down while he was running, Amwy did a back flip and kick the small of his back, causing him to fly over the edge. He dropped one of his swords and she reluctently picked it up and gave a sly grin to the brown haired girl.
She then let out a scream of hatred and began to run away. Amwy slung the sword in her hand at the girl, but she turned just in time ot catch it on the handle. She grinned and ran towards Amwy. Amwy was fatigued and didn't think she could fight any longer. But she remembered her desperate measure weapons.
She reached int her pockets and pulled out two fans. She opened them and did two turns, each full turn she let loose a fan. The first fan slice into the girls leg, and the other sliced right through her throat, leaving a headless body on the ground. Amwy fell to her knees and rested for about five minutes. She then collected her bloody weapons and her abandoned bag, and wiped the blood off of the weapons with the headless girls tunic. She sheathed her swords, put her sais back in her boots, and began to put her fans in her pockets, but hesitated. "I love you!" She said giving her fans a kiss and putting them in her pockets.
She then rearranged her bun which was a mess and dusted off her clothes, not knowing what to expect next. But before she left, she managed to pick up the headless girls sword and continued along the sidewalk. To her suprise, the exit was only a couple of feet away. Inside the next room was white walls whoch bore paintings of birds. She smiled as she viewed them.
But a pillar in the center of the room grabbed her attention soon after. In the center was a hole. She looked at the ring on her finger, the ring Elrond had given her, and removed it. She tested the ring inside the hole, and to her suprise, it fit. But the door in which she came in disappeared and she felt the room begin to rise.
She began to double check her belongings, she wasn't sure what to expect of this, but knew no good would come from it....
