Final Cofrontation
Part V
"Return of an old Rival"
Siegfried went to go investigate this demonised warrior. He walked toward the flames in the distance. During this time he was worried that it might be happening all over again. He was afraid that he might face the same fate that his father faced. But he didn't let it stop him at all. He kept walking toward the screams and the evil echoing laughter.
He finally came face to face with the warrior that everyone was fearing. It was Zasalemel, but... he wasn't the same. He had the same right arm as Nightmare. He was a little scared at what he saw. He couldn't believe it. He also could hear a strange groaning noise ringing in his head. He could tell whos voice it was. It was Zasalemel. "HELP ME!"
Siegfried was shocked to hear this. "Help me! Set me free." He then could here another voice and he knew who it was. "HAHAHA! You will never defeat me. You might as well give up. I thought you wanted power anyway?" It was Nightmare's voice. Siegfried then stepped up to him and gripped his sword with rage. "What does it take to kill you?" He yelled.
Siegfried ran toward Zasalemel and struck his blade, but he blocked it. Zasalemel then looked at him dead in the eye and Siegfried saw that it was a bright red. Zasalemel then spoke to him. "What is the matter? You don't recognize me? You destroyed my body a long time ago. I've come back to return the favor." Siegfried knew what this meant. Nightmare had posessed Zasalemel's body.
They then broke out into a horrific battle. Nightmare slashed the huge scythe across Siegfried's breast plate. This scared Siegfried just a little and he stepped back a few steps. He then knew that even if he died and if someone were to defeat Nightmare then it would be all over. But he wasn't going to let the doubt take over the battle. He then ran towards him for another shot and this time he got it. He stabbed him through the chest. But amazingly even with the size of the blade, Nightmare did not die.
He started to laugh and he started to talk. "You can't kill me. You can mangle this body all you want. I am immortal." Siegfried went for him again but stopped when he heard Zasalemel's voice, "Get out of my body, Nightmare." When he heard this, Nightmare started to groan in pain. "No, no one is this strong against me. Hmph! Maybe some other time." Nightmare then retreated into the darkness of the woods.
Siegfried then dropped to his knees because of the pain of his wound. "ERGH! I can't... Breath..." He passes out. He then wakes up the next morning with several visitors from the village surrounding him to pay their debts to him. "What happened?" He asked. "Your wound is attracted to that demon." He heard in the background. "It's pain was your pain."
Siegfried sat up to listen to the man. "His spirit lives in that man you battled with. As long as his spirit lives, he can cause massive destruction across these lands." Siegfried then stood to see this man face to face. "Show yourself!" He demanded. The man stepped in front of the crowd. Siegfried recognized him instantly. It was the most famous and strongest warrior known throughout the land.
