Who will prevail? Will someone die?
Enjoy!
Van swooped down, only to hear loud noises, followed by several pains in his wings. He cried out, his wings collapsing beneath his weight. He dropped, but released Allen before landing on the deck himself. He drew his sword and yelled as he slashed through a man with ease. "Die, you murderers!"
Allen dispatched several of the crew, before he clashed with a man that had two shorter swords, almost taller than him with short dark hair and emotionless mint green eyes, wearing a dark set of clothes that did nothing to hinder his movement. As his sword was blocked by the crossed weapons once again, he shouted, "Damn you! We did nothing to you to deserve our ship being destroyed!"
His opponent said nothing, but blocked his next swing as well. Allen was about to go for a gut stab, when something hit the back of his head. He fell to the ground, unconscious from the blow.
Van let out a war cry as he struck down another man, only for a redheaded man to meet his sword with a swift swing. "You're quite skilled for such a young man."
"Shut up! You just killed a ship full of good men! We didn't even have any weapons or defenses!" Van snapped, charging.
"At sea, no ships fly unless they're enemies. We were being cautious, though I doubt that you're a demon by those white wings of yours."
Van's eyes widened, just as the sword was knocked out of his hand. He was grabbed from behind by a strong pair of arms, his blood gushing from the wounds in his wings.
"Don't struggle. We don't want to kill you."
"Who are you?!" Van demanded. "Why should I let you take me and my friend prisoner?!"
"Because, you don't have any hope of beating us in your current condition, and your friend has been struck down already."
Van passed out from the shock and blood loss.
It was short, but quite a few of these chapters will be!
