Back again!
"speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
Blade and his team were in the forest near the kingdom as they were scouting the area for any mysterious invaders
"there are some tracks here" Blade said as he kneeled down and looks upon the ground to see some sort of animal track that he had never even seen before
"judging by the footprint, I believe we are dealing with something not from our homeland" Salome stated while holding her weapon by her side
"true" Blade said while running his hand by the footprint "I supposed that it must be an invader from another nation"
Blade stands back up as he drew his legendary sword
"let us proceed with caution" Blade said to his team as they nodded
They started to venture into the woods without noticing that they were being watched from the shadow
Gallatin and his team were at another area of the forest as they were venturing in deep
"this feels weird" Trumpeter said while scanning the area as she hears no sound at all
"agreed" Gancelot added in "no sound of anything, this does not seem right"
Gallatin walks ahead before he stopped when he came across a carnage scene
"what on Cray…" Marron looks to the carnage scene as blood was spilled everywhere
"this is still fresh" Gallatin said as he kneeled down and touched the blood on the ground as it was still warm and red. The blind knight then stands up and draw his blade "and the invader might still be in the vicinity"
This got the other on alert as everyone took a stance and readied their weapons
"what's the plan?" Marron asked while opening his book as he looks around the area for any movement
Gallatin listens to the sound of his surrounding as he can hear something running around them in a circle
"Trumpeter, head back to the kingdom and alert King Alfred of what we have found" Gallatin ordered out "and bring in reinforcement, we are not dealing with an ordinary invader"
"got it!" Trumpeter replied before flying away
Gancelot's steed started to neigh as it lifted up its front legs while shaking its head
"my steed sensed it's presence" Gancelot said while holding his sword
"be on high alert, this invader has incredible speed and is running around us in a circle" Gallatin said before he heard movement behind him as he swings his sword behind and his blade clashed with something
"Gallatin!" Marron exclaimed in surprise as the blind knight got a slash wound on his right arm
"do not mind of me! Be cautious of yourself!" Gallatin exclaimed as their enemy hid in the shadow
Marron and the others look around their area as to find their enemy before it could strike again
Blade and his team were venturing deeper into the forest as they were following the tracks on the ground
Wingal, Flogal, and Barcgal sniffs the ground before barking as they started venturing deeper
Blade and Salome were watching each other's back as they were alerted to the point that they were ready to attack anything that came at them
As the group ventured into the dark depth of the forest, Blade heard movement behind them
"hold" Blade spoke out as everyone stopped and watched their surrounding
The sound of bushes shaking were heard as there might be possible enemies lurking around
Blade's eyes scan around the area before he heard movement behind Salome
"Salome! Behind you!" Blade shouted out as Salome turns around and something came jumping out of the bushes and clashed against Salome
"guuh!" Salome got pushed back as the enemy that attacked her hid back in the bushes
"are you alright?" Blade got beside her as the two knights had their back against each other while scanning the area for their foe
"yes" Salome replied while holding her weapons tight "this enemy is fast and incredibly strong"
Blade looks around as he can hear movement all around them
"there might be more than just one" Blade stated as he hears movement everywhere
"what should we do?" Salome asked
Blade scans the area before a shadow jumped out of the bushes and attacked Blade who fended it off
The attacker hid in the bush yet again as this proves to be a difficult battle for them
"Barcgal, Wingal, head back to the kingdom and call for reinforcement, our enemies have out number us" Blade ordered as Wingal and Barcgal barked before running off
Blade readied his sword as he and Salome with Flogal were tensed up
The sound suddenly stops as they heard nothing
"it had become quiet" Salome said while looking around
"be on alert, this might be a diversion tactic to take one of us out" Blade said before he heard movement in front of him
He sees something large and black running in the forest as it was running away
"there!" Blade gave chase as Salome and Flogal followed behind
Blade chased after the shadow as it was fast but not quite fast for Blaster Blade
The chase went on for a good 2 minutes before Blade, Salome, and Flogal reached to an opening in the forest
"where did it go?" Salome asked as she hears no sound at all
Blade scans the area before he heard movement behind them
"behind us!" Blade exclaimed as he went behind Salome and slashed his blade against the moving bushes
His blade went in contact against another blade as it was pure black
"you!?" Blade looks surprise as the one he had just attacked was none other than the leader of the Shadow Paladin Clan and one of his arch rival, Blaster Dark Diablo
Blaster Dark pushed away Blade's sword as the two knights looked at each other
More movement was heard behind Blaster Dark as the Dark Knight, Rugos; Skull Witch, Nemain; and the Silver Beast Tamer, Luquier appeared
"why are you here? And why is Luquier is still at the United Sanctuary?" Blade asked as Blaster Dark kept quiet
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
