One shot… It is a fragment of a larger fic. actually. But it will take some time to translate the whole thing into English…. If you'll like this, then you'll probably like the bigger fic.
-"Stop! In the name of Helm I shall strike you down!"- that pitiful knight… always shouting, always proclaiming something…. My strike is swift and merciless…..Anomen flies aside and lands on the floor motionless. Is he dead? Why should I care? So close now…so close. The green column of light ahead is just within reach now.
-"Stop him! He's out of his mind!"- was that Nalia's voice? It probably was. The young sorceress always tried to command people around her – a trait inherited with the blood of noble that flowed within her veins. I continue to walk even as I hear the sounds of pursuit and shouts of my former comrades behind me…. They try desperately to stop me, lead by that shortsighted fool that I once called my brother, following his example as a champion of light like blind cattle. But not me… I alone saw the potential within our blood where everyone else saw only damnation. It saddens me to see Imoen amongst my pursuers. Unlike Darris she was not a stubborn do-gooder, she could have seen the reason behind my actions…. But no….She followed my brother instead of me, just like every one of my so-called "friends".
A magic missile strikes me in the right shoulder….useless…my magic protection is absolute. But I stop. I then turn to face them. Only five of them left now, with that brash fool Anomen lying on the floor soaked with his own blood. I face them without fear. I am powerful enough to destroy any of them now and they know it as well as I do.
They look at me their weapons ready their eyes wide with terror and disgust. I enjoy it….
Then I see her… She stands with them just as she did back in Saradush. Aerie of all why have even you betrayed me? After all I have done for you, you still choose to follow my brother instead of me! The thought and memory of how she abandoned me when I needed her most fills me with rage….I want to kill them all, I want to see them bleed to death, destroy them, break them, see them beg for mercy, whatever it takes to bring as much harm for them as possible!
-" And it ends here brother! I alone and the five of you! How very fair…."- I say and even in my own voice I hear the hatred that fills me…
-" You have chosen your path yourself, Alfain….It saddens me that you fell as low as you have."- Darris steps a bit forward, his sword, the legendary Carsomyr held high.
-" So be it….- I answer – Which one of you will be first? Or do you choose to attack me at all at once?"
-"Wait!- Aerie suddenly steps forward – It is not too late Alfain. It is not too late to turn back. Everybody has their right for salvation….You…you can still return to us."- I look at her as she speaks…and only then I realize how strong she became since the first time I saw her….The little girl has finally grown up….And deep within my soul I feel that I still love her…But then the anger returns. Love her! No! NO! I hate her! I HATE HER JUST AS I HATE ALL OF THEM! She must die! She must suffer just like everyone else! And I will make her suffer….
Without saying another word I take out my sword, Gram the ancient blade of Grief and step forward to face my destiny……………………….
So, how was it? Please leave your reviews and comments….. The full story is coming up shortly…
