chapter 34:They come knocking part 2 - the dual

time passed slowly the Templars troops didn't move from their ranks hell most didn't even get off there horses or move at all the only sign of movement came from the center of this army where Beightstar was sitting at a table with his commanders around him there was a single candle at the center of this table its flame danced in the night I seen his commanders talking with one another but Beightstar himself sat alone at the head of the table no one leaned over to talk to him he looked lonely sitting there unmoving his spear was resting behind him on the chair the only other movement I saw was from the horses they would move slightly be it stomping there feet or what have you but the minutes slowly want by I sat on the wall Layla in my arms my troops all around me there guns at the ready Bill and Slade stood beside Layla and me I could hear them whispering with each other I looked up to the moon which was full its light shining down at me I heard a pocket watch be opened and closed and Bill tapped me on my shoulder I looked to him it's time I asked he nodded indeed I nodded and Layla and I stood up I seen Brightstar stand-up aswell I turned around to my posse no to my friends they all started at me respect in there eyes I smiled at them all be ready for anything my friends listen to your leaders and we will win the day the gods be with us I yelled they all stomped there feet and yelled gods be with us I turned around to see Brightstar already waiting for me at the center his spear in hand I seen his horse was running back to his army Layla squeezed my hand I looked to her smiling don't worry dear I got this she smiled and kissed me give them hell she said and she let go of my hand I nodded its been a long time sense I was able to fight at full power right off the bat I won't be needing this and I took off my coat and hat I gave than to Layla I reached into my bag at my waste and pulled out a helmet it shined darkly from the moonlight it looked like there was red stars shining in it I put on this Norse style helmet but the peace of metal that covered my eyes and nose was black skull so if you looked at it from the front it looked like a black skull just without its bottom jaw I then jumped off the wall as I was falling I hit the skull on my bracelet as I shadow walked in front of Brightstar my shield forming on my arm but that wasn't the only thing that formed going up my arm to my shoulder and across to the other shoulder forming was a dark red metal sleeve and shoulder pads plus forming on over my gloves was red claws and gauntlets my shield looked a bit different it was a bit smaller it was still a circle shape but the edge of it shined sharply plus there was a strap for my hand that I could us to make punching with it easier I already had on a black obsidian Greek style chest plate that had a purple three head dog on my chest and on my right shoulder pad had a black and white woman face one side of it was a white skull the other half was black my sickle sword was over my right shoulder and my gun belt was around my waist the dark steel off my guns shined under the moonlight and there was a few more images on my shield burned into the steel they looked so realistic the fear in the enemies eyes just before death my demonic smile as I stood in an empty street a man 30 passes from me a hug clock in the back about to hit hi noon my enemy looked terrified the fight back at Slades farm as my shield cut the head off that woman but there was room for more my bright green eyes feel onto Brightstar last chance Brightstar turn back know I wish not to kill you your people need a man like you in there ranks this doesn't has to happen but he shook his head his eyes glowing brightly through the slits of his helmet no Nekros I can't I have my orders but your right this doesn't have to happen surrender and I promise your people won't have to suffer I do not wish to fight you but I got my orders so I will if that's what it takes I side closing my eyes shaking my head one of us will die that's for sure but at what cost you of all people should know how corrupt your holy church is those jailers are proof enough y not join me and help to make a better future for both of are people he side and I seen his eyes close under his helmet but after a few moments he shook his head no I can't perhaps in a another time but not this I side and pulled off my necklace and forming in my hand was my bident I slammed the end into the floor before getting into a fighting stance I rested it against my shield pointing it at Brightstar saying prepare your self then Brightstar but I worn you all that you will gain is your death my the gods be my witness right after my words thunderstruck and a cold wind swept through the desert Brightstar pulled off his wood shield from his back and he lowered his spear at me it's tip shining brightly in the night he nodded at me saying one of us will die tonight that's for sure but it won't be but before he could finish the tip of my bident burst into green flames and I lunged at him thrusting my spear at him but he easily deflected it to the side with his shield all though a black huge gash want across its wood he thrust his spear at my chest but I blocked it with my shield but the second his spear touched my shield a small explosion want off I was pushed back by the force of that explosion but I stabbed the end of my bident into the ground forcing me to a stop I spun my bident as I got back onto my feet my eyes locking back on Brightstar my shield had smoke coming off it and the White steel was scorched black a bit but it didn't damage it at all I rolled my left shoulder it popped as I did I smiled at Brightstar saying good very good but let us get this party started for real and forming behind me from my shadow was my shadow demon that smiling green jesters smile on its face and its eyes was sharp like he was happy and my ghostly wings formed on my back as the shadows spread through my body my mouth got enveloped with shadow so all you could see of my face was my glowing green eyes and the black skull helmet my shadow demon chuckled as he looked at Brightstar who just stood up straight he nodded at me saying your right Nekros let us stop playing around and a Orange halo formed around above his head and a set of wings formed on his back its feathers was white that want orange at the end he moved them behind him as he raised his spear it burst into orange flames this lit up the area it was odd the light and shadow seemed to mix together between us like they was fighting for control my shadow demon chuckled at him and like that I spun around and throw my shield at him Brightstar simply deflected it to the side but my shadow demon appeared and cot it he then flung it back at him as I throw my bident at him the blade bursting with green flames he raised his shield to block my bident as he deflected my shield again but sadly for him my bident sank deeply into his shield before exploding in a green fire ball his shield was completely blown to bits I shadow walked and cot my shield spinning and flipped in the air throwing it back at him as my shadow demon appeared in front of him with a huge grin as he reached out to my bident I then clapped my hands switching places with him the second its hand wrapped around my bident I seen Brightstar's eyes go wide seeing us switch places a huge green joker grin spread across my face as I spun my bident slicing down at him he blocked my bident with his spear for a second his orange flames and my green flames mixed together like they was fighting superiority but we didn't find out which would have won do to my shield slamming into Brightstar side his armor took a lot of the damage but it shattered on impact he slid back and he feel onto one knee as he held his side I could see some pieces of his armor was sticking out of his skin and I seen a bit of blood drop from his helmet but I wasn't going to let up I deflected my shield to my shadow demon as we both spun and throw are weapons its my shield and mine my bident Brightstar head shot up as he slammed the end of his spear into the ground a shockwave shot out from him as a circle of orange fire formed around him blocking are attacks then the circle exploded which throw are weapons back behind is Brightstar started at us as he stood up slowly yield he yelled I do not wish to kill you Nekros I side and opened my hand I could sense my bident and shield flying at me as I yelled you will have to if you wish to fulfill your mission I will not allow my people to end up prisoners of your order no if you want that you will have to kill me and like that I jumped up spinning as I cot my bident and my shield passing under me it shot right at Brightstar my shadow demon appearing behind him as I shadow walked in front of him thrusting my bident but right then my shield was about to hit the back of my head and Brightstar was moving to block my spear but my shadow demon clapped his hands and we switched places but I still had my bident in my hand I stabbed into the back of Brightstar but his armor blocked my attack all though the it was know glowing red got wall at the same time my shield passed harmlessly through my shadow demons head slamming into the shaft of Brightstar spear sparks flew off the two items as steel rubbed against steel my shadow demon cot the should as I spun my bident around hitting his leg out from under him as he was falling my shadow demon punch him right in the face with the shield with so much force the helmet was dented in and he was lonched to the side he did a few flips and rolls on the ground before he stopped I couldn't see much do to a sand cloud was kicked up but I could sense his armor and spear which he still clutched in his hands I could tell he was still alive I could sense his life force I walked next to my shadow demon as I waved my hand a cold wind blow the cloud and there laying on his back looking up at the stars was Brightstar with out his helmet it must have came lose and flown off during his tumble he had bright orange hair that was pulled into a ponytail and a well-groomed beard he was probably in his late 20s yearly 30s so pretty old for a half blood his nose had a scare like it had been broken before but going down the right side of his face was a huge cut from my shield he slowly sat up his armor growning as he did he started at me impressed he whipped some blood from his head and nodded you are definitely skilled I smiled the shadows around my mouth fading so he could see my actual smile thank you Brightstar you are quite skilled your self he laughed I haven't even wounded you and yet you call me skilled that doesn't make sense I chuckled I may not show it on my face but you have wounded my your first attack for example the one that blow me back it definitely browsed my hole arm it hurts to even move it he laughed my god what sort of things have you been through where you can hide your pain even to me a veteran I chuckled sadly not one that many live through he nodded as he slowly tried to push himself onto his feet and with shaking legs he did just that he was leaning heavily on his spear for support he took a few breaths before righting him self the halo above his head shined brightly and his wings formed again on his back you Hunter Nekros are strong I can see y those in your posse gave up there lives to protect there own they learned it from you it's a admirable and fitting quality for a leader to have no? I nodded I expect much from my posse in both there life and deaths but shall we continue are dance and I spun my bident and slammed the end of it into the ground he smiled nodding yes let but before he could finish a red flash of fire came from his back and stabbing through his chest was a gnarled curved blade and hiding that blade was one of the jailers the woman Brightstar through up blood as he started down at the blade in his chest he then glanced behind him with a painful confused face y would you do this Ruby I heard a woman chuckle it sounded sweat and enchanting and from between her helmet slits I seen her gold eyes change into infernal red slits very spirant like Lamia he whispered she nodded that's right you fool there are many monsters like my self who have infiltrated your previous church but you won't have to worry about this my little pet don't you worry and just sleep this is just business I am sure you understand and like that Brightstar feel down to his knees his spear still tightly clutched in his hand no I bellowed seeing the sword enter Brightstars chest and him falling to his knees I throwing my shield with so much force and speed that the woman barely had time to disappear in a puff of red fire but not before I took her left arm I ran next to Brightstar but that's when I heard a angry pained monstrous scream come from the Templars Army I heard one person scream attack I heard the twang of bow strings and the sound of horses running my shadow demon moved and got bigger blocking the arrows I looked down at Brightstar he smiled up at me saying perhaps you was right Nekros I should have taken you up on your offer maybe but that's when he coffed up blood maybe we could have been friends I chuckled maybe we could have been maybe in another life or in another time he smiled nodding that sounds good another time it was a honor to face you death Walker may your mind be as sharp as your weapons and may your heart stay gold it was fun yes indeed it was but like that his body want lose in my arms and his spear finally dropped from his hands he had a peaceful smile on his face as he looked up at that stairs I closed his eyes and sat him on the ground his spear resting on his chest with his hands in to locked in the center of his chest I heard the arrows hit against my shadow demon and the sound of horses running was getting closer but I didn't care I closed my eyes and sent a prayer to the gods before sending his soul to the other side I stood up smiling we was forced to be enemies but maybe in the future we can be friends ones your reincarnate but Intel then goodbye Aasumar Brightstar may you rest be long and well and may you find some simblence of peace when I kill that bitch for you this I promise and like that I turned around to face this army my eyes glowing with a bright angry fire and my mouth was shrouded with shadow again but this time a angry green froun want across my mouth my Shadow demons smiling jester mask slowly turned in to a angry frowning jester mask I gralled come one come all I ant scared come to your deaths I am the mother fucking death Walker your souls will please my parents and your body's will taste good to my beasts so come to your fucking deaths hahaha.
