Then a huge roar eminated from the front of the cave. A guardian Yeti had noticed Homstar as his platoon entered the cave. It ran towards them and gave another loud roar. The roar alerted Icanor, and a series of cries came from Icanor than Homstar knew were calls for rienforcements. His fellow Yetis came upon his men then, and ripped some of Homstar's men up. Homestar was pinned down! He couldn't do anything else so he rallied up what was left of his men and fought through 3 massive Yetis.
By the time Homstar and his men reached Icanor, he was furious and swung ferociously at the men, sending some flying. Homstar looked up from his battle with one of Icanor's elite guards, and to his horror saw Kurtis picked up off his feet by the giant Yetti Icanor himself! The Yeti slowly began to sqeeze, snarling up at the trapped man, and a painful cry came from Homstar's friend. Homstar, now determined to slay the Yeti before him so that he may get to his friend, doged two blows from the guard, rolled fluidly underneath a horisontal head swipe, and came up in a classic shooters stance having pulled his side arm from its holster. He fired a shot dead center into the chest of his opponent. The Yeti slumped to the floor, pitifuly uttering a roar.
Death was
almost near Kurtis when Homstar drew his melee combat weapon.
Actually his favorite weapon, Homstar always carried it with him.
He was quite precise at dueling sword to sword, and hand to hand
combat. He was so efficient with this weapon, that his friends
nick-named it Steel-Ice. It's blade was constructed of steelanth,
which was the strongest, and finest medal out there. However, in
addition to being quite strong, it could easily be refined into
whatever shape or sharpness that its owner desired. Only captains and
up in rank were given this weapon due to cost.
Homstar took a
quick glance at his hand. He had felt something there. He was still
holding his sword...but wait...something...something white, that
looked remarkably like frost was traveling up his arm. No time to
wonder what it was, he jumped on Icanor and stabbed him again and
again. Icanor, in rage threw Kurtis and attacked Homstar.
Homstar slashed and stabbed at Icanor and wounded him badly, though this was not done without injury to himself. Icanor was quite ferocious. Suddenly, a loud crash reverberated through the cave. It must have been allied artillery. The shot startled Icanor he losed his footing, and was forced to fall backwards off a cliff. Homstar was alive, but was wounded and bleeding internly.
They had won the battle and killed almost all the Yetis. The survivers were fleeing Northward. But during that battle Icanor unleashed something in Homstar that was powerful and enraged. Something unstoppable and dangerous. He had no idea what it was. He glanced weakly down at the hand that held his sword. There was no white on it anymore. Not that he could see. He looked up and around at the survivors. Kurtis was alive. Good. Homstar Tetra slumped down, and his world turned black.
The rest of the men who were still alive returned home to attend a special ceremony for his men and the general's army. Here something happened that would change Homstar's life forever.
