CH.7

The Story...

I was near the coast of northern Suran, i was only worried that i might run into a mudcrab or cliffracer at worst... but no, it was terrible...Chris was walking on the shore with a bag of herbs and jars of powder. He was struggling to carry it and mumbling curses from the frustrastion. The sand crunched beneath his shoes as he walked slowly. I was on the shore since the path had faded away as i went along it, the air was fresh and the shore seemed peaceful... but there was somthing gloomy about the atmosphere. He kept along the beach when the strap on his bag snapped and fell to the floor, Chris did nothing but stood there for a moment wondering why this was happening to him. He then calmly turned around and picked up the jars and herbs placeing them in the correct place. i started to hear somthing... a voice... it sound feirce but so far that it was muffled... i ignored it for a moment until i noticed it was getting closer... i thought it might have been bandits or possibly even pirates...

The alchemest gathered the remaining supplies that had fallen out and shoved them in the bag quickly, he then stumbled toward a large rock and hide behind nervously. the voices eventually became clear enough to understand. "You old fool! your warrior days are over! just give me the blade!" said a sinister voice. Another voice had risen from the dispute, "Who are you!? you think you can defeat Umbra! HA!" the sound of blades clashed fiercfully together as they both yelled there own battlecrys. The other voice sounded like an orc at the time, and i was right, i peaked carefully behind my hideing spot... An orc with "orcish" armour was fighting a man in a black cloak with a Daedric dai-katana, a powerful black and red blade with the soul of a demon infused within it. The orc's blade was unique however... Chris had seen Dadric weapons before, but never what the orc had, it looked like it was made of ebony, a rare black and gold blade, only ebony two handed swords dont exist, and plus the place where the gold should be was silver, it also was enchanted since you could see the thick purple aura surrounding the entire blade.

"Umbra, just give it to me! your only a mortal!" Said the Dadric lord slashing toward Umbra's chest. Umbra quickly jumped back and brought his blade close to his face in a blocking frame. He was on one knee and panting from the fight, "ive fought Dremora before... your no different..." The Daeric lord stood there silently... until a slight cackling could be heard from behind his red and black mask, he laughed madly and he threw down his weapon. "YOU THINK IM JUST A DREMORA!!! THOSE WORTHLESS SWITS!!! THEY DONT POSSES EVEN ONE TENTH OF MY POWER!!!" he continued to laugh feicely. i was terrified... a Dremora was bad enough... but this guy... he was somthing more, i think that if you listened hard enough you could hear Umbra's armour rattle from the fear shooting through his veins... Umbra was confused... and for the first time in all of his life... he was afraid. "who... who are you?" Umbra said in anger slowly bringing down his guard since his enemy had thrown down his weapon. His voice sound darker then before, "me?... heh heh heh... my nam is Lucigoth... Lucigoth Ur." He said his name with pride and gripped his fist. Lucigoth lifted his hand as a fire formed in his palm like a miniture sun. He then brought it down as hard as he could and the floor erupted into flames, however right when Umbra was going to be swallowed by the flame a slick beam of ice came from behind a large rock and froze it in its path.

Chris stood there with his palm raised in front of him. "Ugh... who in Oblivion are you!?" Chris was scared so he diddnt answer, "i dont have time for this." said Lucigoth picking up his weapon slowly and raising it to the heavens. "when my troops are done with you... ill get that sword!" he vowed, stray beams or red light shot toward Dai-katana turning it bright red like the blood of his enemies, with incredible speed he flipped it around and empaled the earth with it causing skeletal hands to raise from the dirt. Lucigoth pulled it out of the ground and cackled as flames engulfed hiding him for a moment until his voice faded away with the fire. The skeletons ripped themselves from the graves and pulled out silver weapons from the ground as if they had been there forever, well... we killed off the skeletons... i mean... HE killed them off, but since i saved his life Umbra owned me i guess... since then ive been looking for him, and the only relation to everywhere he has been... is that each of the locations had a weapon from anceint times, i dont know why he wants them... but i bet it has somthing to do with Dagoth's plans and those islands that popped up recently... tell me... haveyou ever heard of the Crystal Blades?...
