Ch 9 The first of ten is freed
As the heroes waited for the mercenaries to attack them, they noticed they felt more empowered than even their training could have given them. As the first mercenary attacked Isaac quickly sliced his head off with a swift motion. As his bloodied stump of a body hit the ground, the mercenaries attacked. The group hacked, bludgeoned, and slashed at their enemies until they were almost tired out. As half of the mercenaries were cut down the others came forward and pushed the group to the exhaustion point, but just as they were about to fail, Angel gave forth a cry of anguish as the power of her bow was unlocked. She transformed into a creature of great beauty and power. She spurted wings and then proceeded to rise above the group. Upon rising she fired lightning charged arrows into the group of mercenaries, breaking their ranks and killing all but ten. Pulling together their last bits of strength the group of heroes hacked their way through the last ten. The aftermath of the battle was gruesome and the entrance of the town was soaked in blood and covered with bodies. As the heroes reassembled into a group Angel changed back into her normal self.
"How'd you do that!" Exclaimed Jacob amazed at his sister's performance.
"I don't know, the bow seemed to trigger a hidden power inside of me. I don't know if I could do it again," she answered.
"You will have to try then," added Garet.
"Not now, though, because we have other buisiness," said Isaac.
The group entered into the town compleately. They searched around trying to find the people that should be there but all they found was statues. As they continued to walk about they heard movement in a house. They followed the sound to it's source, the mercenary leader.
"Now, let's finish our battle you slime ball," said Jacob rushing forward a slicing off his head.
"Well let's continue our search," said Angel disgusted at the foul mercenary.
As the heroes let the house and looked about they noticed that the statues were now moving.
