9. Erak-Ragnak

(Thank you for reading this far. It really means a lot to me. Keep the suggestions coming and I'll keep writing. Three chapters a week seems to be the sweet spot, but it might still vary. If you enjoyed my story then please recommend it to your friends and leave a review. Your reviews always make my day!)

Erak ripped his opponents apart with his battleaxe. Nils Ropehander charged side by side with him through the battlefield littered with corpses. Erak heard a mighty roar from his left. He turned just in time to see Nils Ropehander flying through the air a gaping hole in his side. Ragnak stood, eyes blazing, battleaxe in hand, roaring for blood. Erak shouted, "Ragnak, stop this now! It's over!"

"Never!!!!!" He screamed back, throwing himself at Erak.

Erak sidestepped him and swung his axe, cutting a gap in Ragnak's shoulder. Ragnak charged again in fury, "You will die, traitor!!"

Erak stepped back to avoid Ragnak's overhead blow. Ragnak's axe embedded itself in the ground all the way up to the handle. Ragnak roared and pulled it out of the ground with ease. Erak swung his axe and Ragnak deflected it with his battleaxe, sending Erak reeling. Erak swung again, hitting Ragnak's gut. Ragnak continued filled with berserk rage, hellbent on tearing Erak limb from limb. Erak defended desperately now. Ragnak continues fighting even as blood streamed from at least a dozen fatal wounds. Erak tried to reason with the raging Ragnak, "Please, Ragnak you need some medical help. Stop this."

"You dare!!!!!!!!"

Ragnak swung over and over and again, tearing into Erak's defenses. One of his strokes connected with Erak's armor, tearing it off, leaving behind a tiny spill of blood. As Ragnak advanced Erak retreated slowly giving ground. Erak wa sweating intensely from the effort and his breathing was ragged. Ragnak bellows insanely and smashed down on Erak. Erak stumbled and Ragnak swooped in for the kill. Erak scooter backwards fueled with fear. Ragnak just barely missed him. Erak got to his feet and scrambled backwards rapidly. Ragnak finally out of rage, fell to his knees battleaxe in hands defeated. Ragnak laid on the ground never letttinf go of his axe. It was only hours later that it was torn from his grasp with the force of five men.
