Thelathini (Thirty)

I duck another blade. This was a mounted horse. I dodge again. The man is too hard to reach. He's faster on his horse. I block his blade with mine. It's the horse I need to wound. I slice open its leg. It neighs in pain. I jump back. Scar jumps on me and pounds the man. He slices his head off.

"You need to be quicker." He says.

"Okay." I breathe. 

I hear a roar. That's a... that's a lion! I turn. I see him. Dad??! I see him charging at our soldiers. Is he crazy?! We have shields and swords. Weapons sharper than his claws. I hear another yell. Bunga?! I feel him jump me.

"I gotcha monster!" He yells. 

Bunga it's me. Though... monster it's far off. I grab him and I throw him aside. I hear a yell. A cry. No... wait that's a roar. I turn. Oh crap. I jump out of the way of probably one of the biggest elephants I've ever seen. It's like the size of a tree. It roars. Its tusks were lined with spears. It was destroying rows of our soldiers. I let out a breath. It needs to be taken down. I'll take it down myself. I charge.

I see men on top with arrows. It rains arrows down. Fortunately, I know how to handle elephants. Their bellies are weak. They're legs will crumble if wounded. I charge at it. They don't see me, maybe because I'm too small but that will be their downfall. I manage to get right under the elephant. I look up at it.

"I'm sorry." I mutter.

I slam my sword into the stomach. I slam the other one into his leg. I hear him scream. I run my swords into his belly as I run. I run out from under the elephant. I see him falling. I rip my sword out. His blood spills onto my mask. His screams echo in my ears.
