Let me out! Please?
"Idiots", I whispered to myself, I mean seriously? Did they think I was going to sit around and chit chat while someone can attack me at any moment? Fools simply said my companions were fools.
A few steps towards the gate and I can get my freedom, I can get me some gold, carriages, a horse, a cat, a new sword, the options are unlimited.
Then suddenly my train of thought was cut off as I sensed two idiots trailing behind me, "HEYYYY, ASIM I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE, one of the elders said he'd pay me a cart load of gold if I beat you in a fight, don't be stingy and let me BEAT YOUR ASS!", without looking back I knew that Dom wouldn't really take the gold he just wanted to pummel me into the ground, it's not my fault I'm better than him, I believe no one should hold back their greatness for the sake of someone else, not even friends named Dom. Fiona not too far behind positioned herself about 13 feet behind Dom aiming her throwing spear not at him but at me, "Great, now I have the person with the greatest aim and the most hard headed person after my tail," I thought to myself.
Granted had I not been injured I may have been able to deal with them better but right now every breath clings to my body almost scratching it from the insides with every breath and my injuries although healing still burn enough to notice them with even the tiniest friction with the air. Let's break the situation down in exactly 3 seconds Dom will have his long sword already reaching my throat I will parry it using my hunting knife, then I'll—CLANG, Dom's sword hitting my blade that's guarding my neck, "How do you like that Dom?" I spat out at Dom, without letting his smile dwindle he said with pure joy "You thought I was the death blow? And I thought you were the smart one".
4,3,2, SWOOSH, "Sh*t my count was off", as I narrowly dodged Fiona's spear, "Man nothing goes past you does it? CURSE YOU GENIUSES, I HAD TO BREAK 100 BOULDERS IN 10 DAYS TO GET TO WHERE I AM AT, AND YOU JU—" "Dom if I could just shut you up I would be so happy you know that?" I said while jumping backwards, " Ten more feet, if I can distract Fiona and weaken Dom I can run out" I thought in my head.
"Why don't we all just walk out together? I mean I'm sure you guys are tired right?" I cried out.
Dom although energetic was in no shape to go all out I'm guessing he also found a beast similar to mine in strength or at least fought a large quantity of beasts, though Fiona looked better off her aim was a bit shaky hence why I could dodge it before, very narrowly might I add, "This is our chance to turn things around whoever overpowers the number one seat will be taking your spot or at the very least bumped up, you don't come across this chance everyday Asim" Fiona said edging in quickly. Good, come closer let's see if you'll fall for my plan, I plan to use Dom's power against him, you see Dom's strikes are no joke, one strike is enough to send anyone flying back a few feet I plan to use that momentum to push me back since only 10 feet remain to my freedom, but to get Dom to do that I need a motivating factor, Fiona. If I can get Fiona to attack me directly with full strength, making Dom think Fiona is stealing his chance at surpassing me, I will quickly dodge Fiona's strike making me completely vulnerable to Dom's slash full strength, which therefore means at least one of the bones in my arm is going to break, but it's worth it if I can get out of here quickly.
"Hey, Dom he's doing the thing again", Dom looked at Asim,"The think of an entire plan that may or may not include us and may put us in extreme danger?" Dom replied to Fiona, "Yup, that face".
"Fiona, I think you should just leave, if we're being honest here Dom and I are on a completely different level than you, and honestly if you beat me right now, sure you may gain the elders approval, but where's your honor? Attacking someone that is weakened while teaming up with someone, have you no shame? No, no, no! This is unacceptable you can't just—", Fiona in a fraction of a second snapped her melee spear towards me like a whip, "I didn't think I did that good of a job, damn", the spear left a shallow cut on my face, barely dodging it, quickly without even thinking using pure instinct I blocked Dom's slash while jumping backwards, "F**k he definitley broke my index finger, broke something else probably" I thought as I flew in the air, then I dropped on the floor with a quick thud and started rolling until I hit a full stop.
Through wheezing breaths I felt like never before. Pain. And joy that my plan worked, but really though I need to start making plans that don't include me dying, "Sh*t, Dom what did you do? He's past the gate now!", "Now let's not point fingers I saw you use your spear super cool and fast and I just thought 'whoa I could definitely join in and make this a killer combo' l simply got excited Fiona", Dom said non-nonchalantly as he walked to the gate Fiona following behind, "Whoa I really thought I was going to die right there" I whispered to myself as I looked up. God, the sky looks so good when you almost die, "What are you doing fool? Someone who just won shouldn't look in such a bad shape"I looked towards my right away from Fiona and Dom for a second to see a group of hunters waiting for me, but the one who caught my attention the one who spoke was none other than the grinning man looking down on me in the distance, "Ok just give me a minute Ahi".
Ahi the lone storm, the one who shines in the darkest of clouds, one strike Ahi, the one who raised me, my father Ahi.
