4

Mylo walks down the stairs carrying 3 swords. I stare at him and he gives me a small smile. 
"You need to choose one of these."
"Okay." I murmur, walking away from the wall.
"This one is the one you mostly trained with." He says, holding one out. "This one is for cutting fast, but not usually landing critical blows." He swaps the sword with a thin sharp one. "And this last one isn't the best and I would not recommend." He holds out the last one. It was beautiful, roses were carved into the blade, the handle, which was peeking out of Mylo's hand, was a deep purple. The blade was really dull. Sad. 
"I'll take the one I trained with." I decide. He smiles and hands it to me. 
"We're going to go to a dimension with a variety of kiranas." 
"What's that?"
"They're like monsters." He responds. "Really disgusting and smart monsters."
"Okay." I say, twirling my sword.
"Ready?" He asks, I nod vigorously. He takes his key off and does the unlocking motion. "Poligonima!" Like usual a door opens and we climb in.
This place is pretty ordinary. Like a nice bright plains. "They'll come soon, but I'll leave most of the work to you, but if you get overpowered I'll be here." He whips out his own sword from his holster, which I didn't even know was there. 
"Okay." I confirm ready to fight, until a small pang of anxiety hits. "What if you die?" 
"Don't worry about me, I've trained, I know how to kill quite a few of these." 
"Okay, I can do this." I stand ready, like Mylo taught me and prepare to spring at whatever comes at me. I study the world, for a few seconds. I feel lighter here, like I could jump 2 times higher than what I usually can. A loud roar snaps me to attention. There's a huge spider-like creature coming at me, it must've been as tall as my shoulders and as wide as a buggie car. It had 9 legs, 4 on the sides like usual, and one supporting its back end. It scuttles closer very fast. As soon as it get close enough he pounces, and lands a few inches in front of me. It smells really bad, like when you squash a ladybug times 100. I slash my sword across its beady black eyes, causing it to screech. It brings up one of its legs, and now I notice at the ends of all it's legs are super sharp knife-like blades. 
"Back up!" I hear Mylo yell. I stumble backwards, the spider creature swipes across the air trying to hit me. It missed. I run around to it's back and stab my sword into its back. It screeches once again, but so loud I saw Mylo cover his ears out of the corner of my eye. It bucks itself up and I go flying into the air. I lose grip of my sword and it falls somewhat near me, I land on my butt. The spider who's obviously mad, pounces so its on top of me. It makes a low growling noise, I reach around with my hand, trying to grab onto my sword, my hand grazes the blade, which hurt. I lean slightly to the side and grab the handle. The spider's low growling sound gets higher. I saw Mylo start to run toward me. I thrust my sword into the spider's torso. The spider screeches once again and it collapses on top of me. I close my eyes, a few seconds the weight of the spider was lifted away.
"Are you okay?" Mylo asks.
"Yup." I open my eyes, and push myself off the ground. 
"That was a hard one, and I probably shouldn't of left you to it alone." 
"But I did it." 
"You did." He smiles, I see one coming from over his shoulder. 
"Now if you'll excuse me." I say, running off, gripping my sword. This kirana looks remarkably like a male human. Except he has cat ears. I continue running until I push my sword through his stomach. He cries out in pain and shifts into Mylo. He backs up off my sword and his wound heals almost instantly. 
"That's not me!" I hear Mylo yell from behind me. The kirana pulls out a sword, which is identical to Mylo's. He tries to slash at my stomach, but I block it. I hear real Mylo running, he comes into view and cuts the kirana's stomach. It was a skin deep wound, not enough to kill him but to knock him over. I look up and see a pack of wolves, which looked combined with wild hogs running toward us. They smelled blood. I froze in my battle stance, the wolf-boars kept running toward us.
"M-Mylo." I choke out, he glances at me.
"Yeah?" I point at the pack of kiranas coming. "Oh, shoot." He stabs through his lookalike's neck surely killing him. The wolf-boars were about 3 yards away, they move fasted, the look of killing definite in their eyes. I feel a hand grabbing my arm. "Hazel, move." I couldn't I was paralyzed in fear. I felt the hand pull and I moved out of the pack's path. They run to the corpse of the spider and tear into it. 
"Woah." I whisper, so quietly it seemed like if I said it any louder the world would explode into millions of pieces. Mylo released my arm and I could see him turn. 
"Oh lord." I turned around also. There stood, or walked, a kirana, as big as a 3-story building. It had a skeleton head with a square-ish body, its legs were like long branches, and it's knees were circles, it's arms were the same as it's legs and it's hands like a skeleton, it's feet were also like a skeleton's. It wore a sickly smile on it's face. 
"What is that?" 
"I have no clue." He was studying it, probably trying to find a way to get to the top. I jump, at least 10 times higher than usual. 
"Look, Mylo, you can jump really high here." I yell, he glances up at me.
"What the?" He says.
"Just jump!" I yell, he follows my command and goes flying into the air. We both land on the ground. 
"Follow me!" He starts running full speed at the large kirana. I follow him at nearly the same speed. The kirana attempts to step on Mylo, he dodges it. He jumps up and lands on the kneecap. I follow him and jump up. 
"What are we doing?" I ask, breathless. He ignores me and tries to jump onto the shoulder but he misses, trying to stay up, he stabs the wood and slides down for a few seconds then stops. He swings a few times then pulls his sword out, he flies upward and lands on the shoulder.
"Come on!" He yells. I jump up there, and miss, but Mylo grabs my hand and pulls me up. He pushes his sword into the kirana's ear, with pops and sends a blackish goo everywhere. We both climb into the head and there was the brain. It was black as well. Mylo runs his blade across the brain, cutting it open making it bleed, I do the same. There was a shake and a falling feeling.
It was dead.
