22 Chapter 22 : Flies

The grassy field and evening light changed to smoke and embers as the two were teleported into the village, they were inside of Gyll's house, or what remained of it.

Kaber rushed out of the building, his axe in hand, Gyll followed.

The image of the village sent Kaber into a rage, women and men alike lay bloody on the ground, puddles of blood collected on the ground in which the remaining lizardmen fought the knights.

Kaber charged at one of the knights, he slashed at the man lodging his axe in the crevice between his chest piece and helmet, misty blood sprayed out of the hole as Kaber pulled his axe back out, meanwhile, Gyll grabbed the lizardmen and carried them into the only building which was not on fire, placing them on the ground before going out to get more, as he ran out the door he crashed into a large knight who was ready to land sword slash on his neck, Gyll quickly shot for his leg, pulling it up for the knight to loose balance, as he fell Gyll grabbed for the sword, the knights grip was strong, even with one hand he overpowered Gyll's attempts to disarm him, the knight used his second arm to jab Gyll in the face, Gyll fell to the floor adjacent to the man, as the Knight stood up and aimed his sword at Gyll who now laid on the floor, a stream of blood pouring out of his nose, he suddenly dropped his blade , that was when Gyll saw the large axe which Kaber threw at the knigh which lodged itself in his helmet.

"Take it! you need a weapon more than I do, human!" Kaber called out holding a struggling Knight by the leg, as he smashed him into the side of a building.

Gyll grabbed the axe, after a few seconds of trying to get it unstuck from the thick metal helmet. When he managed to free the axe, he turned to see two more knights charging towards him.

Meanwhile, the larger knight rode horseback towards the elven border, hoping to catch the children of the village,

"I'll get those brats" he taught to himself "

"It's my right as the stronger predator."

"It's the law of the land, its how life works."

"It's survival of the fittest."

These thoughts ran through the man's mind.

he was suddenly stopped by what looked like a child standing on the dirt road.

"Get out of my way, brat!" the knight yelled, "I have some-" the was interrupted by a sharp pain in his leg, when he looked down he saw the lower part of his leg was turned to a flesh pulp by a swing of Mi's mace, along with the horse.

The knight fell to the floor with a thud, he tried to crawl out from what remained of the horse he rode.

"What the hell are you?!" the knight bellowed, his voice trembling.

Mi approached him slowly swinging her mace around playfully, "What's the matter, mister knight?" Mi said blankly,

"You know, I'm much stronger than you," Mi said.

"Surely, this means I have the right to kill you, right, mister knight?" Mi asked raising her mace over his head.

"NO, PLEASE NO!" the knight pleaded.

"I DONT WANT TO DIE!" the knight yelled through tears and snot pouring down his face as he tried to crawl away.

"But, surely you wouldn't want to be a hypocrite? mister knight." Mi questioned smashing the mace into his side throwing him across the field breaking his armor into shards, as he smashed into a tree, blood poured out of his mouth and mixed with the other liquids on his face.

"You're a monster!" the knight yelled, his speach was almost unintelligible due to his crying as brused face.

"It's a monster's responsibility to cut down a monster." Mi replied.

Mi cought up to the knight crawling away, quicly. Mi placed her mace on his chect, slowliny increasing the force with which she was stabbing into his chest, the knight called out in pain, Mi's hands were stopped by Razyl pushing her to the floor, as he turned to the knight on the floor and yelled out "RUN" to him, thats when the knight began to roll off the hill and into a river.

Razyl go off Mi and aploligised.

"Why'd you steal my kill?" Mi asked.

Razyl was quiet for a bit.

"I coundn't bare to see that pathetic creature suffer any longer." he explained, extending a hand to help Mi up, which she accepted.

"What if he comes back?" Mi asked, putting her mace back into her sleeve.

"I doubt he'll ever be able to look at a weapon in his life." Razyl chuckled.
