The Zealotus was knocked a few feet across the room, skidding across the
dirty floor headfirst into the base of a pillar. Groaning, she stood up
warily, rubbing her forehead.
"So...I guess you're not so weak after all." said the Zealotus, cracking her whip. "Maybe I misjudged you." Reev chuckled.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" laughed Reev. The Zealotus growled, her clenched fists shaking with rage. She gritted her teeth and glared at Reev. Screaming in anger, she dashed forward, lashing her whip at Reev's feet. Reev did an aerial to avoid the swinging whip, but was met upon landing by a kick to the face that sent him three feet into the air. He landed hard on his back, wincing in pain and struggling to stand up. Suddenly, the whip was lashed through the air once more and delivered a devastating blow to Reev's groin.
Reev was frozen solid. His eyes were as wide as tennis balls and were beginning to water. His face scrunched up, and he clutched his groin painfully. His knees bent and started knocking against each other. Finally Reev let out a bloodcurdling scream, falling over and rolling around desperately, hyperventilating and wailing. Mythiel and Ceilu grimaced, shielding their eyes.
"Ooh...that's gotta hurt." mumbled Ceilu, brushing back his hair. The Zealotus laughed triumphantly, smiling with glee at the sight of Reev rolling around in pain. Reev gritted his teeth extra tight, closing his eyes really tight too, and making a strange hissing noise that caused tiny drops of saliva to come out of the sides of his mouth. After all that, he began rolling around again, letting out lower moans and shaking violently. Finally he froze again, and then passed out. The Zealotus cackled with laughter, looking over at Ceilu and Mythiel.
"Which one of you is next?" asked the Zealotus, who spoke with a calm tone of voice as she popped her knuckles and then her neck. Mythiel was getting angry, yet she didn't have any control over it. It seemed as though she had an inner desire to avenge Reev. Sure enough, she screamed and dashed forward, raising her bell high over her head. The Zealotus swung her whip horizontally, but Mythiel jumped over it, bashing the Zealotus over the head with her bell. The Zealotus screamed, falling to the floor. Mythiel landed on the Zealotus and stomped on her face, smashing her bell against the Zealotus once more. Letting out one final scream of defeat, the Zealotus became motionless. Mythiel stood still for a moment, then hopped over to Reev and dragged him over to Ceilu.
"What're we going to do with him? We can't just leave him here, I'm sure there are a bunch of creatures that would love to feast on a human." said Mythiel, looking down at Reev. Ceilu scratched his chin with his left index finger.
"Hmmm...I guess we'll just have to carry him around." said Ceilu.
"You're carrying him around!" shouted Mythiel, gleefully. She started to hop through a rock archway, but she didn't notice the Zealotus slowly standing up, her legs shaky and barely holding her up. She reared back with her whip, but Ceilu dove forward, bringing his katars against his chest in preparation for a double sideswipe.
"Mythiel, look out!" shouted Ceilu, swinging his katars horizontally. Sure enough, his attack cut the whip in half, and when the Zealotus tried to whip Mythiel, she missed by a mile. Ceilu crouched down and swung his leg into the Zealotus' ankles, knocking her off-balance. Ceilu rolled onto the Zealotus and drove one of his katars into the Zealotus' chest, blood trickling out of the wound. Once again, the Zealotus was motionless, but this time she wasn't going to get up. Ceilu walked over to Reev's body and slung it over his shoulder, walking back towards Mythiel, whose eyes were wide with surprise.
"Nice call." said Mythiel, turning and hopping into a larger room which had assorted vines growing on the walls and pillars. The floor was made of stone tiles, most of which were eroded and cracked, and some tiles were missing. It was darker than the other rooms, except it had a beam of light coming through a hole in the ceiling. In the center of the room stood a Dark Priest.
"So...I guess you're not so weak after all." said the Zealotus, cracking her whip. "Maybe I misjudged you." Reev chuckled.
