The Soul in the Dark
Chapter III
Somewhere, deep in the dungeons of Eldieme Necropolis, Orlock meditates, a dark black aura surrounding his entire body, somehow receiving images of the Mithra and her Dark Knight escort "hmm...What's this?" he said to himself quietly "Looks like my little escapee has made herself a new friend...A Dark Knight friend...she could come in handy to win over this Dark Knights services.
He closes his hands into a fist "Ah DeMondé...my lovely DeMondé, you will soon return home to me"
"Master, your Formor is ready" Orlock's slave , Adokas, called him "he is awaiting your orders"
Orlock grinned darkly "Send him to get DeMondé, I want her alive, her 'talents' are no use to me if she is dead" he laughs grimly as he opens his eyes, a crimson red "bring her back to me!"
Back at the Crag, Tyh groans, just waking up from his sleep "Ugh...haven't slept that much in a long time" he stands up, all the bones in his legs clicking as he stretched "ouch, ouch, that hurt" he looked around seeing no sign of DeMondé
"Hey DeMondé?...DeMondé...where are ya?" he moved out from under the spires out into the open, taking a huge breath and putting his hands on his hips "DEMONDÉ. This isn't funny, show yourself!" hearing a noise from the bushes behinds him he turns around to see what it was only to be knocked down to the floor, after recovering from the stun, he realised that the Mithran pest had tackled him down to the floor and had tried to pin him down.
"DeMondé, what the hell do you think your doing?" He raised his voice to her, and throws her off of him, her arms weren't powerful enough to hold him down, a small, surprising grin momentarily appeared on his face before it turned to the stern Dark Knight look.
"Glad to see you are full of energy, your gonna need it" he said springing to his feet "Because we are setting off to Bastok soon, its a long walk"
"I know...I've been here before y'know!"
She said with a small sigh
"before almost getting your ass handed to you?"
DeMondé smiled "Surprisingly enough...yes...I just had to get deeper..." she slowly noticed that Tyh's back was turned to her, slowly taking off his Scale Mail and placing it on the floor next to him, leaving him on a black top, which didn't last too long on his body either. Placing that on top of his armour and taking a doublet from his bag and slipping it on his body
"bit silly then, monsters around here will try to rip you to shreds if you go out too far"
"Yeah I know"
She said sadly, this being sensed by Tyh's Dark Knight abilities
"Lets go, its going to storm soon..."
Tyh commanded, looking up to the sky "The clouds...They are different..."
"What?" she asks looking upwards, indeed the clouds were different, darker than usual, darker than what they would be before and during a natural thunder storm.
"The clouds...they're darker...like..." his eyes widened "Evil is descending" He grasped the hilt of his Inferno Blade and pulled it up from his back and held it up, he flipped a switch on the blade that caused it to once again burst into flames, he gripped the handle of the blade with two hands, the head radiating from the blade then he saw it, down from the clouds a Elvaan like monster had came floating down holding a sword in one hand and a huge Kite Shield in the other.
Tyh looks over his shoulder to DeMondé "you better stay behind me" he then looked back to the figure, with closer inspection he could see that the figure had no face, his entire head was shrouded in a thick dark black mist, only his yellow eyes visible through the fog.
"What do you want?" Tyh asked pointing the tip of the blade outward toward the demon
"By my masters orders, the Mithra must come with me" it wasn't his looks that was demonic, his voice was of a deep, echo.
"Oh yeah?" he began to say, bringing the tip of the burning blade to the demons neck, the fire not illuminating any of his facial features "What if I have something to say about it?" he dared the demon .
"then...I will have no choice to destroy you" he brought his swords up to his face then down to his side "If you do not hand over the Mithra I will be forced to kill you!"
Tyh grinned "Well, that is the only way your getting her" he said stepping back slightly "over my dead body"
The demon growled "That can be arranged" he shot back, raising his sword above his head and lunging forward towards Tyh, his downward cut only to be blocked by the blade of his inferno sword.
"Nice try demon, but its going to take a lot more than that"
Tyh pushed his blade up, knocking back the demon a fair bit, stepping forward after him he swings his sword horizontally, just missing the black-faced monster then brings the sword over his head and slashes downward for a vertical strike, the demon tried blocking but his sword was no match for the heavy weight of the Great-Sword crashing down onto it as it smashes into shards. The demon brings his shield up to hie body, blocking all the other slashes.
"Your shield will not protect you forever" Tyh exclaimed as he held the sword in one hand "As you will now learn..." He brought the sword above his head one last time "HARD SLASH ATTACK!" The flames around the sword started glowing white hot as he swung the blade downwards, the hot metal cutting through the shield, armour and body of the demon, his blade slashing down the body releasing dark fumes from the demon, the fumes catching the flames of his blade, somehow combusting the entire sword to shards, Tyh quickly drops it from his grip.
"Whoa!" his eyes widened "That was...Spooky..." He turned around finding to be by himself "Hey...DeMondé?...DeMondé..." He looked around "C'mon, this isn't funny...COME OUT HERE!" his face went from angry to a worried look. "C'mon this isn't Funny DeMondé". he looked down to the broken sword on the ground "ugh, maybe she got a warp back to Bastok, perhaps I'll see her there." he sighed and walked past the Crag on his way back to his home town of Bastok.
