Tales of Souls, Swords and The Hammer

Chapter 5 Strong Breeze

Another day, another long walk to the next town. The two travellers who stayed in Thuban were now getting ready to leave for the next location on their world map which was called Benetnasch.

As Amy got her Kari Hammer and put it away she looked to see if her companion was ready to go and at that time she thought it the wind priestess was ready to go.

The pair soon left the inn and exited the town, heading east once more to their next destination.

Hours Later

After what seemed like forever they were still on a large field, nothing but grass and hills. The field was very windy as well at some points Amy thought she was gonna get blown away but thanks to her determination and Talim's help she could go on.

But as soon as the two kept walking the wind priestess looked to the wind and she felt an evil aura in it as if something was nearby.

Amy asked with a worried tone "Talim what's wrong? Are you ok?"

The wind priestess replied "I am fine its just that I can sense an evil presence quite far from here."

The pink hedgehog asked "Is it Soul Edge?"

Talim sensed the familiarity in the aura, she also felt a strong force as well which had the same evil sensation but stronger. The winds also showed her someone being hurt; this made her worry as she broke out into a sprint with the pink hedgehog started following and running twice as fast to catch up to her.

Amy asked her "Why are you running?"

She replied "Someone may be in trouble and need our help from a being with a strong power."

The pink hedgehog did not need to ask anything else as the two ran fast as they could to see if they could help the person in trouble.

They both ran across the large grassy expanse never slowing down for anything not even for their own tired feet and exhausted body from all the running. After running for a while they came across a village in the middle of the windy field, many windmills were spinning by the strong breeze, the village itself looked like a normal sort of fisherman's town but it was deserted and before the traveller's very eyes was a scaffolding building, the floor was high above them and the wind was blowing strong where they stood which meant going up there would mean the winds would be much more stronger.

Talim looked up it as if she knew the people were there, Amy knew she didn't need to ask since the wind priestess was never wrong in her wind reading.

They both ran up a set of wooden built stairs which creaked and thudded from their running upstairs.

As the pair came up to the top they saw one woman with a sword in her grasp with brunette hair, a tight white shirt and skin tight knee length blue trousers stood defensively in front of a wounded man with a staff in his hand, brown hair and a odd scar on his left cheek.

In front of them was what looked like a giant, he had an axe in his hands which showed he meant business, his clothing and body was odd cause his skin was purple with grey type horns coming out from his body, he wore large brown boots, purple trousers and wore a purple mask that covered his entire face except his mouth and the mask had antenna look curving behind his head.

The woman shouted "Go away!"

The giant like man bellowed "Stop screaming, worm!"

As he tried to chop his victim in half she guarded against his blow and pushed him away, this angered him so he hit her away with the side of his axe she almost went over the edge but luckily she did not go that far.

The giant man raised his axe and said nothing as the beaten up brunette man was trying to raise his staff but was unable to use it to its full use. The axe man tried to chop him in half but he got smacked in the stomach by a large hammer which Amy held as she looked at the giant man in distaste.

Talim went over to the staff man to check on him, the giant looked to Amy laughed and said in his deep voice while getting into his fighting stance "It will rain blood today!"

Amy looked back at him in anger raising her hammer high and shouted to him "Bring it on!"

As the fighters got ready they both looked at each other carefully and neither one hesitated in their movement.

The fight broke out with the pink hedgehog running up to the giant like man and sidestepping to the right hand side of him as he went for a kick with his oversized foot which missed. She didn't though as she smacked the back of his knee with the handle of her Kari Hammer, this made him bend on his knees in pain and quickly she spun her hammer in her hands raised it over her head and smacked him with it on his cranium.

With small effort he got up to his feet and smashed the hedgehog with the side of his axe, with the same effort she got up as soon as she hit the floor, she ran towards him and smashed him in the chest this stunned him but not for long as he guarded against the next blow.

The pink hedgehog went for another swing but he sidestepped to the left and sliced his axe into her which made her fly into the air and he shouted "Struggle!"

As the pink hedgehog was in the air the strong winds caused her to fly further towards the edge. As she hit the floor she felt a surge of pain go through her.

When she got up she was taken by his axe and was spun around as he shouted "Begone!" she was again thrown but to the other side of the scaffolding building.

Talim wondered if Amy was alright and was hoping that she was not done for, but just as she thought the pink hedgehog got up.

But when she turned around the giant man slashed her into the air grabbed her by the foot and in his deep voice he shouted while hitting her with the head of his axe "Squirm! Scream! Kill! DRAAAH!" he followed it with one last strong hit with his axe.

The hedgehog was flown a bit further to the edge of the building, the terrifying man raised his axe high and shouted in victory "Your soul is mine! Heh, hmm... hehmm!"

The wind priestess couldn't stand by and watch this any longer, she ran towards him and smacked the giant man in the back of the head with her tonfas, this slightly phased him but when he turned around he looked at Talim with anger on his face but she showed confidence to take him on.

But in his deep demonic tone he shouted "Begone!" and he smacked her away with the side of his axe, the force of the weapon made her roll to the edge the wind blowing powerfully against her body.

Amy saw what happened to her new found friend and had fire in her eyes, the giant man did not notice as he turned back around hearing the pink hedgehog growl in anger.

He smiled in satisfaction as he left the wind priestess and raised his axe once more and shouted "Too easy!" but as he went to chop her the hammer in her hands smacked him to one side and he again shouted but in anger, frustration and disbelief "What!"

Amy got up ignoring the pain going through her an aura of anger around her, the giant man got up and looked at her in with the same emotion as the two got ready to fight again Talim got up she was about to join until the hedgehog gave her a look saying leave him to me.

The wind priestess nodded understanding why she wanted it so she went to the two who were injured even though the woman with brunette hair was not hurt too badly but she was still damaged.

Amy and the giant man looked at each other a look of confidence in both their eyes, he made the first move as he tried to hit her but she dodged to the side and smacked him at the side of the head, this angered him more as he shouted "Bastard!"

The pink hedgehog ran towards him and hit him left to right then right again with a quick spin and uppercut, the four hit combo stunned him. He went to chop at her again with his axe, even though she dodged he still cut her arm. It was only a flesh wound.

As Amy felt her arm and saw the blood on her arm she went berserk and ran up to him hitting him as many times as she could, she smacked him towards the wall and shouted "Want me now!"

When she bashed him to one side she ran towards the giant man again and dodged his axe again and went behind him and jumped on top of his head her small legs around his neck. The pink hedgehog smacked his head twice with hard shots, but when she went for her third shot she arched her back, screamed in war cry and smashed his face as hard as she could. She smacked him so hard that he went flying onto his back but she jumped off so she wasn't going with him and landed gracefully on her feet.

While the giant man got up Amy did one thing which was still new to her, she raised her weapon high, called upon the power known as Soul Charge to power herself and glowed a green aura.

Her Kari Hammer now glowed blue, she took her fighting stance once more and screamed in war cry once more, the giant man went to chop her again to stop her but Amy quickly dodged the blow and again powered her hammer so there was flames appearing around it.

With her hammer she smacked the giant under his chin with all her might, the combined power of the Soul Charge and the move she did caused him to fly up into the air, the strong winds blew him away and his mask off, right out of the top of the scaffolding building and as he fell he screamed in an inhuman scream.

Talim looked shocked at all the power Amy mustered in that fight, the pink hedgehog never took her gaze off the edge as she was breathing in and out heavily.

She had a few cuts on her arms, one was on her left leg and was bruised in places. The pink hedgehog soon calmed down, smiled and asked the wind priestess in her ordinary cheerful tone "You alright?"

She nodded and replied "I am fine thanks."

Amy smiled and said "Thank you for saving me back there if I did not have you there I could have been killed."

Talim replied again "What are friends for."

The two then helped the man and the woman they saved up but the man almost fell over so the wind priestess grabbed a hold of him and put his arm over her shoulder.

His red jacket blew in the wind violently due to the strong winds, Amy went to help up the woman but she insisted "I am ok, I can still walk."

She picked up her blade and kept it in her hands as if she thought danger would be around every corner.

She turned around smiled and said "Thank you for saving us."

Both Amy and Talim replied "You welcome."

All was silent at that point but the wind priestess broke it by saying "We should really get going"

All three of them agreed, the man was not able to reply due to being unconscious. Amy put her hammer away and picked up the man's staff and left nothing behind but as soon as they left the scaffolding building that was partly a windmill.

Down below on the grass laid the giant man he pretty much looked dead from the fall. His axe laid loosely in his hand. But at that point he gripped the axe in his firm grasp and opened his eyes with nothing but pure anger in them.
