Chapter 15: An Impossible Foe
I saw something about him. An immense evil in his eyes that wasn't there before. An evil that was radiating from his body. I saw the evil in him grow stronger and stronger. Then he smirked and vanished in a blur of motion. I gasped and looked around frantically.
"What's wrong child? Ye look a might nervous." I grunted quietly as his voice echoed from all around me. Where was he? How can I fight what I can't see?
"Aye, that is a good question. Ye cannot tell if I'm attacking, or if I'm even here!" I felt chills rush up my spine when he spoke.
"So you can read minds?"
"Aye."
"Do you do card tricks as well? Cause I'm not impressed." I snickered quietly till I felt the sharp sting of steel slap my back hard. I fell to my knees, gritting my teeth. I heard him laugh.
"Ha ha ha! And I thought ye would ba a challenge! Joke all ye want, ye can't win!" The I felt him slash at me. I saw my shoulder bleeding. Then my leg, and my back. I looked up to try to find where he was attacking from. Instead I got a face full of steel. I felt the blade cut my face from the inside corner of my left eye to my right cheek. I fell back hard, closing my eyes as I tried to get up. There was little pain. Just a cloud of darkness enveloping me. I was weakening. Could I even win, or was my journey over? It seemed that I couldn't keep my promise to Crystal after all...
Crystal...
"A girl? Ye lay at Death's Door, yet ye are thinking about some lass?"
"She's... not just any girl..."
"What's the difference? They are all the same."
"Not this one..."
"Ye would throw away ye life for a woman?"
"I'm not throwing it away..." I opened my right eye enough to see him standing over me, glaring down. I snickered up at him.
"Silence, ye do not understand... Ye see some beautiful lass, yet I see another person looking out for themselves and no one else."
"You must not know the feeling..."
"Ye are a FOOL!!!" I watched him as he raised his sword high in the air. "Ye shall PERISH FOR SAYING THAT!!!" I gulped and closed my eyes tight, as ready as I would be. He stabbed at the ground hard, aimed at my heart. Suddenly there was a flash of blue light and a whoosh, like something had flown by. I opened my eye to see the man on his back, looking up at a boy wearing what looked like heavy blue knight's armor. He held a large sword in his right hand and a shield the shape of a scale on his left. Even with all that equipment, he didn't seem to notice it was there. The man stood again and glared at him harshly.
"Why doth ye save him!" He shouted, pointing at me.
"Because, he could be the one to save us..." I was confused but I continued to listen.
"Ye think he is the savior!? He's but a mere child!!" I tried to stand, but it was hard. I felt groggy and weak.
"You have been corrupted by evil... You are not thinking normally..." I saw the boy ready himself. I limped to the tree and sat under it, watching, unable to do anything else.
"Ye wish to fight me? HA!!! She has given me enough power to destroy ye and all the humans with ye!"
"I do not wish to fight you, but I must stop you from doing anything of the sort." Suddenly they both vanished again like before.
