The angel lunged at me , his sword glowing with a dark light. i dodged the attack by the skin of my teeth, feeling the cold metal brush against my cheek. "You're too slow," the angel taunted. Luke, feeling the anger growing inside him, lunged forward. His sword clashed against the angel's, producing a deafening metallic sound. The battle raged for hours, the three of us fighting with all our might. The forest trembled beneath our feet, trees bent and branches snapped."
Every blow with our swords resounded throughout the battlefield, what was at first a forest with houses built, now.... It was just a field full of rubble with clouds of dust everywhere.
The smell of blood emanated everywhere, Luke although it was his first battle as well as mine, we were pushing back the angel, that being that as a child I thought was indestructible.
As if we were used to fighting together , Luke and I matched our attacks in a natural way, the angel as he moved away lengthening the distance said furiously " damn you, die yaaa!"
The angel at an impressive speed again shortened the distance and this time each of his blows felt heavier than the previous one , but I knew he was not getting stronger .
I watched Luke watching him gasp with each blow , I knew it , Luke unlike me had not prepared for the day of facing a being of this level however I too was finished . Losing an arm, I lost attack power.
Making a signal to Luke which he understood, we moved back a few meters. "Throw me towards the angel with all your might using your sword" I said to Luke silently.
I used his sword as a platform and with the speed that Luke had given with the turns I launched myself towards the angel at a speed impossible to believe.
The angel reacted quickly creating barriers to defend himself, and I did the same putting all the aura I had left in this last attack.
When I hit the angel's barriers I broke three of them instantly, making the angel put on an expression that filled me with jubilation.
FEAR...
The angel was afraid, that expression was enough for me . one of those arrogant beings stood before me in fear.
As my aura dueled against the angel's divine power with a clash of force, Luke appeared at my side using his sword and pushing hard with me against the angel.
You are not alone," Luke said.
Those words meant a lot at that moment.
When the angel saw that his death was assured I saw him pull out a small sword from his armor compared to the one he used during the battle " it doesn't matter if I die here I will take one of you with me to death!? shouted the angel in desperation.
Seeing that I neglected his defense to stab Luke, by reflex my body moved just taking Luke away while I put pressure on the angel's barrier breaking it.
POOOMMM!
An explosion rattled the entire forest and its surroundings clearing all the dust clouds.
The impact of the explosion sent Luke, me and the angel spinning around on the ground I held on as best I could with my arm being stunned by the explosion, but trying to see in the direction of the angel who I could see with Luke's big sword through his chest.
Happy for the apparent victory I turned sideways looking for Luke who I could see watching me with horror, without understanding his expression I smiled at him and when I tried to say we won a mouthful of blood came out of my mouth.
Falling backwards I started to feel an unbearable pain in my abdomen, I lifted my head a little and I could see the angel's sword embedded in my abdomen in such a way that I could almost say that it would cut me in two.
Luke running in my direction desperately fell on his knees next to me looking to know what to do. "I said to him, my voice cracked and hoarse.
No longer able to move my body I could only speak a little, "Luke please take care of Lauryel, go to the central realm" I told him.
"There look for someone named Laura, you see when I could I went back to where my hometown was supposed to be, there I found in what was left of my house some letters a little burned."
"I'm sure that person will help you find a safe place."
Seeing the expression of my friend and brother who was about to let out his tears, I could only laugh as I noticed that he was indeed dying.
"Could you help me with that Luke?" I asked.
Luke nodded unable to say anything as it seemed that if he did he would not be able to control his tears.
And for a moment everything went black.
I only regret not being able to talk to lauryel again and not being able to keep my promises made.....
Flames were devouring the peaceful village of Candell. Shyn, a boy barely seven years old, ran blindly among the burning houses, the smell of burning wood and roasting meat piercing his nostrils. The sky, once blue and serene, was now a patch of angry red. He had arrived too late. His home, the only place he had ever known, was now a pile of ashes.
