“Skylark!” from a distance, he heard his brother’s distraught voice as crimson blood was dripping to the silk tunic. A moment ago he was stricken by triple dark arrows, and now his feet were betraying him.
Then, he was losing consciousness, but gladly, ended up in someone’s arms drenching that person’s snow white sleeves with blood. Wincing, he looked up, and met his brother, Silver Breeze’s teary eyes and stark angst written all over his face.
Silver Breeze caught a feeble hand of brother as the agonized figure tumbled down on his lap. Meanwhile, blood kept seeping through the arrow pierced skin, and each arrow had its tip drowned in flesh of the chest.
Knowing the criticality of the wound, they stared at each other melancholically but Silver Breeze determined not to give up “Hold on! I’ll take you to *Lucid Crest” Clinging to hope he was about to carry his brother, but next, what he heard was his brother’s last words. “i…it c..can’t be.. fixed n..now . Sta..stay stro...ng brother”. Beside these affectionate words, the trembling hand of his brother slipped from Silver Breeze’s grasp, and dropped lifeless.
“ Nooooooooo!” the pain echoed, and immediately Silver Breeze’s sword flew to the sky on its own. The single sword blade split into four in the air forging four equal energy swords, and then attacked the enemies relentlessly while on the ground Silver Breeze was embracing his gone brother in grief.
After two weeks a gray stone was engraved in the honor of the lost warrior. When month elapsed, leaving the residence and the folk of *Moon Covert behind, Silver Breeze made his way to the Erling forest inviting solitariness.
* Moon Covert – Home of Arlun kinfolk
*Lucid Crest – The celestial cascade by Moon Covert. On its foot healers dwell.
