III

"This is where your old, pitiful life comes to an end." Finagir says as he points his axe at Rualtik. "I might be old but my life isn't pitiful and I don't intend to lose my life here to you." Rualtik then throws the axe at the god. "Pitiful" While the axe traveled towards Finagir, Rualtik channeled all his strength into his legs pushing off the ground with his toes appearing below the god ready to plunge his sword into the gods stomach, but in one swift strike the god splits the axe down the middle and hits Rualtik just as he blocks it with his sword. "Not bad knight." The god then punches through the sword, shattering it on impact and hitting Rualtik in the chest sending him flying into a building making it collapse. "You mortals can't even imagine standing up to us gods, your weak and fragile just give up." Rualtik stands up pushing a piece of a wall off of him. "Are you okay?" Asks Rualtik to the little girl that he had met earlier. "Momma... Daddy...?" Rualtik looks over his shoulder seeing the little girls mother and father crushed. He then looks at the little girl in shock "Just like that you humans can't even handle something as simple as a wooden wall, such weaklings." Rualtik then starts to grip the wall harder. "Us humans have the potential to become anything, these people didn't get the chance to find out what they were gonna be thanks to you." Rualtik the grips the wall even tighter. "I'll take her." Says Ishoa dropping down from what's left of the roof. "Thank you, make sure to get out of here while you can." Ishoa grabs the girl looking over at Rualtik. "Your a tough bastard I'll admit that, good luck." Rualtik then watches as Ishoa runs to safety with the girl in hand. "You gods think that your the center of the universe when your not, today Finagir, is your last to live." Rualtik then looks at Finagir in the eyes as his right eye turns black and shadows start flowing from his eyes. "What is this?" Asks Finagir noticing Rualtik's eye. Rualtik then takes the wall that he's holding and throws it at Finagir. "Pathetic." Finagir then stands still and lets the wall hit him as it shatters on impact, but Finagir then yells out in pain as he looks down at his legs seeing Rualtik with his sword in his leg. "You little…" Finagir the attempts to slash Rualtik with his axe but Rualtik spins around his leg with the blade still in his leg cutting off his leg. "I will kil-" Finagir is then cut off as the sword is put in the opening of his mouth. "I… didn't… want… to… kill… you…" Rualtik then shoves his sword down Finagir's throat killing him instantly. Rualtik then begins to smile, beginning to slowly laugh more and more, but then the dragon uses its tail to hit Rualtik but instead he catches it. "You wanna play?" Rualtik then grabs the hilt of his sword sticking out of the gods mouth pulling directly to the side cutting the god in a half spilling blood everywhere and quickly cuts the tail of the dragon clean off making the dragon roar in pain, Rualtik then kicks the dragon in the side making it slide across the ground crashing into nearby houses luckily that are empty. "AAARRGH!" Yells Rualtik falling to the ground gripping his head. "What is happening?" Rualtik starts to grip his head harder as the dark in his eye crawls to his iris turning his iris as black as an abyss with slight hints of shining white. "What is this, why do I feel so invigorated, more powerful." Says Rualtik as he lessens the grip on his head and stands up laughing again. "I feel great, I feel like I could-" All of a sudden the dragon attempts to bite Rualtik but he stops it, slamming his foot down on the dragons jaw breaking the front bottom teeth of the dragon and holding the top jaw with his bare hands by the teeth. "I feel like I could do anything." Then in that moment the throat of the dragon starts to glow a bright yellow as it charges it lightning. "Bring it, you over grown lizard!" Then the dragon unleashes a powerful blast of yellow lightning barely doing anything to Rualtik. "Is that all you got?!" Rualtik then repositions himself now holding the dragons mouth open with one hand. "What is this?" Rualtiks strength then starts to lessen as the dragons jaw starts to get heavier and heavier. "It has a time limit, good to know, let's go out with a bang." Rualtik with his one free arm punches the roof of the dragons mouth with such force, it rips the dragon in half horizontally down to the base of the tail instantly killing the dragon. "Not much of dragon anymore." Rualtik then drops the dragons jaw and picks his sword up walking up the chest of the dragon. "The heart is to valuable to be left behind." Rualtik then begins to cut and slice through the flesh of the dragon, until he gets to the heart cutting it out and walking away, turning around to look at the carnage left behind. "What is this power?" Raultik begins to walk back towards the bar but then stumbles down to one knee. "What the-" Raultik is then cut off by Ishoa knocking him out, but right before Rualtik fully loses consciousness his eye reverts back to it's normal state. "Get him ready for travel, he is an asset that we need to keep or at least form some kind of friendship with, make sure to bring his stuff with us." Ishoa begins to walk away carrying the little girl in her hands cradling her. "Why are we bringing him with us, he tried to kill you and us, on top of that he destroyed an entire town and killed a dragon and a god, which was looking for him for a reason, he's a threat." says one of the random foot soliders. Ishoa then snaps her fingers as Torens slices the throat of the foot solider. "Come on you dogs get him and his stuff and lets head home, we got a long way to go." Torens then runs up beside Ishoa. "Ishoa, what are we gonna do with him, if he killed a god and dragon how are we gonna hold him." Ishoa looks at torens with a smile. "We aren't, we're gonna treat him like everyone else, like a family." Ishoa then looks at the little girl, her head buried into Ishoa's chest. "I Promised someone that, now lets go."
