CHAPTER EIGHT- FINAL FINISH
Hunter looked out the window dazed. The spider riders starred at him worried. "H..hunter? what's wrong?" Taking Leric's advice, this time Hunter did not ignore his friends out of shame. Not looking at his friends still he said, "...Nothing...nothing..."he turned his head and looked into his friends eyes and smiled,"Just staring at the garden. The roses are colorful. That's all."
Leric looked at his friend worried as well, "Hunter..." he could see he was tired. Leric was also tired since the too had stayed up last night talking instead of sleeping and resting up. He walked up to Hunter and said to the spider riders," Yeah! The flowers are pretty!" he smiled at the spider riders easing the tense atmosphere. Leric whispered in Hunter's ears, "Good Job...see talking to your friends isn't so bad after all!" Hunter turned to Leric and smiled abit,"I guess" he whispered back to Leric.
Suddenly a huge bang was heard and Hunter looked out the window. The image made his blood boil, "Darkrit soldiers,"he grunted. He leaped off the window and scowled. He ran into the weapons room and grabbed a sword. Then Leric, Drake, and Hunter ran out. Lumen, Igneous, Magma, Corona, and Aqune followed. EAch with weapons of their own. Lumen and Ignous had swords. Magma had a club, Corona had a bow and Aqune had a sword as well.
There was at least a small army of 50 men in the yard. One of them grinned madly and started to destroy the garden. Living plants and trees went up in flames. Birds and other creatures were killed and the house...the house started to go up in flames as well. Lumen panicked, "Sparkle! Someone get Sparkle out of there!" Hunter's face twisted in anger and surprise. Leric ran in and found Sparkle. He ran out with her and placed her near a tree and told her to stay hidden and hide somewhere safe if the tree went up in flames as well.
Drake looked at the soldiers, "Apparently you want this to be a death match!" he was ferious. The battle began after that. Drake slashed at three soldiers. Leric appeared from a tree and pulled the string of a bow. He aimed at five soldiers and shot them down. He hid behind a tree again. Corona shot some of the soldiers as well. The other spider riders started to kill the rest.
It was sudden but Hunter scenced a disturbing energy. He hid behind a boulder unseen from the battle and started to fight silently.
After 2 hours of fighting there was ten men left. The spider riders however were weary. Lerik was badly wounded and Drake...he was just as tired as everyone else. Corona whom was hiding behind a rock took aim and took down 6 of the darkrit soldiers. Hunter pulled up a quick spell and finished off 3 of the men, but he too was tired and worn out from casting so many spells. However the last one was not there at all.
A femanine scream rang throughout the battlefield. It was muffled in awhile...it was Sparkle...A soldier appeared behind the ruined house and burned up garden (Drake had used water-magic to wash away the fire.) In his arms was Sparkle. "P..put your weapons...d..down!" he grabbed a dagger from his belt and put it to her neck, "o..or else..."
Panick was so tence in the air you could feel it. The Igenouse, Magma, Lumen, Aqune, Drake, and Leric put down their weapons. "u..h...u..h...k.."he soldier studdered, "k...icked them away...make sure you can't...g..get them...NOW!" They did as instructed.
Corona's struggled to aim. She sighed and put her bow down. At this rate of nervousness her aim was completely wild.
Hunter starred at the rest and the enemy wide-eyed. It was up to him. AFter all he was still hidden. The spells had taken alot out of him but to save a friend's life was another thing...
A trap spell? No...a attck spell? no...he was too tired and didn't have the energy...a...spell...s..p...e...l...l...a sleeping spell! Hunter flipped through his book of spells and found a spell titled Feather Dancer he read. He sighed and quickly put the soldier at rest.
Sparkle ran to her brother's arms, "Brother!" she hugged him tightly, "I was soooo scared!"
"It's alright Sparkle"
Hunter came from behind the boulder. He had an extremley tired look on his face.
After going through a long heal time everyone gathered around a camp-frie outside. Hunter whispered something into Leric's ears. Leric whispered to Drake's.
"Oh..."
"Well..."
"Spider riders...Hunter says that he would like to head back to Aracnea with us..." said Drake. "This war...is not for a few to handle...Hunter would like to go back and have time to think... "
