22. WAR IN BLOODSHED
Battle scenes and fights ahead. It's going to get a little bit violent and bloody so discretion while reading is adviced.
Also a fantasy war music is added for you to enjoy...
As I stand there in my new form, Laverna decided to break the most horrible thing to say.
'I send my army of orcs to Kingdom Merobolis' she said laughing at my shocked face.
'They are not prepared...' I mumbled.
'They are not but I do not care the slightest. And now-' she said and raised her hand forming a ball of flame in her hand and positioning it '-we fight'. And she said that and threw the ball of flame at me.
I quickly raised my spear and cut through the ball, slicing it clean and it fell to the ground like two sliced rocks.
'Fast...but not fast enough' she said and threw a black smoke of fire at me.
I dodged but I smelt burnt hair.
Her smirk grew larger. I concentrated at her hands.
My anger, my wrath suddenly glowed in my hands. And flowed to the spear I was holding.
I looked at the glow and back at the shocked Laverna.
I smirked and hurled a white bright swirling mass of light at her. It hit her with extreme force that she had conjure a protection shield but stumbled a few steps.
She growled at me and pulled the same black smoke and threw it at me.
I drew a circle with my spear and the ball bursted into stars which gave a ghoulish howl.
She conjured a green spark of light and threw with all her force. It surrounded me. The light gave out a fragrnace of jasmine but it was weakening my limbs. So I tried to not inhale it. But it was doing much worse.
I fell down on my knees.
'Hah. Defeated already' Laverna mocked, coming towards me.
I looked at her and saw her hand still holding the connection of the green smoke.
I raised the spear and with a quick swipe chopped her finger off.
She screeched and she clutched her hand and the green power was gone from me. But I was still weak but started regaing my lost power.
I jumped up immediately and ran to the exit Cyrus had showed me earlier.
A few lights whizzed past my head. I turned around and saw Laverna throwing shadows and lights at me with both of her hands stretched out like a mad woman.
'You are nothing in your human form. That elvish body is a gift from Lavinia. Without that you are just a debris under a beggar's feet' she yelled.
I suddenly stopped and faced her.
I smiled at her and said 'Then maybe I don't need this body. I can defeat you in my former body and I can I show you how'.
I raised up hands and smoke of white light emerged from my hands and I threw the light at my feet.
The light swirled around me. It shone and pierced through my body. But it was completely painless. As the light diminished I was back to my human form. As Josephine.
'Hah!!! Foolish girl. You have made my job a lot easier now. Now die' she said and when about to conjure the death spell, I hit the ground with the back of my spear and a swarm of bats of the cave flew right at Laverna.
She screamed and tried to kill all of them engraging them even more.
I took the time of distraction and ran out to the exit of the cave and was greeted with blow of beautiful fresh air.
I ran without looking back. I don't know where I was. But I kept on running in hope of seeing the camp of Merobolis.
Seems I was located somewhere deep in the forest of Hershire so tried yelling. I got overjoyed when I heard thousand of sounds coming from the left side of the forest.
As I thought of rushing to that part I suddenly realised the sound.
It was a thousand hooves coming at me.
'Laverna's orc army' I said out aloud. I can't overpower them all. It is basically suicide. I can't outrun them by running to the opposite direction and climbing up a tree is beyond my capabilities.
I saw orc burst out the woods. They were tall and scary. Many of them rushing at me on boars and many others on foot. They carried big weapons. Axes, boulders and God knows what the other freaky things were.
I thought I was gone for good as they closed in but I heard thousands and millions of cries opposite me and saw elves, dwarves and Hobbits and many of the other kinds rush past me to fight against the orcs.
And leading them among the Elves were Luthiann and Daemeon. I saw Airen fight miles away.
I shivered when a broken head rolled at me.
Suddenly an orc rushed at me with his axe held high. I heard Daemeon cry "No!!!" and Airen run towards me but I expertly swiped the spear of Golgorial at the orc head and felt the it's blood splash my face.
I saw Daemeon look at me wide eyed along with Luthiann and Airen but then resumed fighting.
'Merlin's beard is that the Spear of Golgorial?' asked a dwarf amused.
'Ah yes' I said while piercing the spear to the chest of an incoming orc.
I saw more orcs and more elves rush from opposite sides
Luthiann was basically dancing while beheading all the orcs. She swinged her sword while her body glided to the rhythm of the battle cries.
A few feet from her I saw a dwarf and Daemeon help each other fend off a particularly large orc but finally killing it. Daemeon was moving so quick with the sword that it seemed only as a silver blur.
And Airen was right by two orcs, piercing a sword to one neck and kicking the other on its chest and after pulling the sword from the neck of the first orc he shoves it down heavily onto the head of the second orc.
I watched the strong three friends fight so elegantly. They make a strong trio. Just like Harry Potter I thought
I don't know why I thought of Harry Potter right now but I started running.
'Where are you going?' I heard Luthiann ask.
'I have unfinished business to complete. I will be right back' I said while running and fighting all the way.
The truth is, the only business I have to complete is killing Laverna and I knew she would come for me and she would kill everyone who's in her way. I don't want her to harm any of my friends.
I ran and suddenly I heard a whish and the bush in front of me caught fire. I knew who it was but I started to run the opposite direction when the path was blocked by fire too.
Laverna created a fire circle around me and trapped me.
She walked inside unharmed and said 'Wise choice leaving the bloodshed funeral over there or I would have been killing my own army too'.
I leveled the spear in my hand and said 'Less talking more killing'.
She raised a red ball of light from her palms and hit the ground.
The ground beneath my feet rumbled and a long sharp branch emerged swiftly from beneath me. It only gave a quite a sharp cut on my leg because I had dodged.
I screamed in agony but bit it all in.
'Painful isn't it' she mocked.
I created a circle of light around me and filled the air around me in a yellow light and it went flying towards her in light speed.
But she created a red light of Defence and bounced my attack off.
I then sent in a smoke around us.
Laverna found it difficult to attack with the cloud of smoke around her. I took the chance and threw an aimed fire arrow at her.
I heard a scream from the smoke and immediately I took down the smoke to see the arrow pierced in one of her eyes. Blood gushing out madly. She stared at me with her unharmed eye with deathly Fury.
But before she could do anything I sent a blue light of Force and she fell into the fire. This time her clothes and hair caught on fire. Maybe the last time she used a defence spell to get through the fire.
I took the chance and did the exactly same spell she had used and conjured a red ball of flame, hit the ground and a sharp branch emerged the ground and impaled her in her chest.
I saw her struggle to live. And then she went limp.
'I did it....' I said. 'I did it!!!!' I yelled punching the air in victory.
I was about to rush off when I remembered and went to her and pulled the amethyst necklace from her.
Her eyes staring blankly at me. And then she started to fade away to dust....
