Life After Legend
Chapter 8: The Evil Apparition
Knil's Point of View
We have finally found it. After wandering around the desert for two weeks, we have found what we were looking for. I think it's what we are looking for, but I can't be sure. None of us actually know what we are looking for. I believe this is the closest we are going to get to find whatever we are searching for.
What we found was a small abandoned village. The adobe buildings were in ruin. All the remained of them were the foundation and some remnants of walls. The evil my compass was detecting was coming from here. This place seemed dead.
When none of us was expecting it, something happened. Some sort of portal opened up in the center of the village. From it, came scores upon scores of demonic creatures. They viciously attacked without hesitation. They must be very simple-minded creatures. I was the least prepared for battle. You know Link pulled out his "Sword of Evil's Bane" and started killing the things left and right. I expected Nansen to be caught off guard while trying to cast a spell. You want to know what he did? He pulled out this gold tube thing, and out of the end came a glowing blade of many colors. Then he started chopping up the monsters like Link. What weapons did I have to use against these fiends? I only had two knives. Wow, look at my little daggers against your giant axe. I am so going to win, NOT!
I had to start beating up these dudes with my bare hands. Luckily for me, I was able to pick up some weapons for them. I grabbed hold of a mammoth sized spear and started to kick butt. By the time I had started to get my groove on, all of them were already dead. Dang Link and his "Hero of Time" greatness. The ground started to shake, and I noticed the portal reopening. Out of it came a beast that was ten times the size of any man. The three of us poised for battle. We would be triumphant in this battle.
The behemoth started to yell a battle cry, but its cry to turned to one of pain. We stared in confusion as a flow of purple energy came from the behemoth's body and made its way to the behemoth's back. A glanced around and noticed that the same purple energy was coming from the slain demons as well. This energy was making its way toward the behemoth as well. As mysteriously as it started, the energy trail stopped. The behemoth stopped crying out in misery. A slight breeze blew. The behemoth and all the slain demons, fell away into dust. From behind where the behemoth stood, we saw an evil apparition. It was a translucent black and in the shape of a man.
"I shall consume you too in my quest for power!" it yelled. Silently, yet swiftly, Link loosed three Light arrows at this phantom. It appeared to me that when these arrows made contact with it, all the power it had just gained from devouring the creatures was lost. It fell into a far side of the destroyed village. We had no time to go search for it. I wished we had, so we could destroy it.
"I HAVE FOUND YOU AT LAST LINK!" came a booming voice. All of us looked back at the ocean of sand and saw a man approaching us. He was pale with black hair. He seemed to bear a resemblance to Link. In his hand was a glowing green orb. "I SHALL KILL YOU HERE!"
Link charged at the man, but in a swift motion as the stranger blocked the attack he flung Link's sword and shield away. This didn't discourage Link, for he attacked using his fists. What happened next, I still don't clearly understand. When Link's body came into contact with the strangers body, the both of them became one. It isn't as if the stranger absorbed Link, it was more like they were two pieces of puzzle, now fitting together. The odd thing was, neither of the two were in control. It was if the being was mindless. That is where the specter from before came back into play. It knew somehow that it could take over the body. That being now created of three things was now brimming with power.
"FEAR ME! I AM LURKA! I SHALL DESTROY ALL!" This is the point in which Nansen moved into action. He started to move before me, probably because he more easily understood magic workings like this since he was a mage. He placed his blade back inside his robe and pulled out his spell book.
He started making signs I will likely never understand. He was surrounded by a white light and a magic circle appeared beneath him. He began to shout, "Divine Execution, Holy Exorcism, Divinus-" Unfortunately he was never able to finish. The ground beneath him broke and he fell, along with a large amount of sand, deep down until the hole repaired himself. It is hard to explain but imagine if someone shot a cannonball through a large pane of glass. He fell not into the earth, but into another world.
It was about know that I realized that I had to do something. I charged at Lurka and threw the spear I had been holding at him. The vaporized it with a blast from his orb. He formed the dark energy of his orb into a whip and used it to fling me into the eternal blue sky.
This is the next chapter. I hoped you liked it. I have the general idea of what I'm going to do but I don't actually know all the small details. That's why my chapters are somewhat short, but at least I'm updating often now.Please Read and Review.I am open for helpful criticism even flames.
