The Specter

Taking a step forward, Aodh gripped his sword, studying the ground below the skeleton knight that was beginning to silver with a faint hue of moonlight. Noticing the raven's features beginning to glimmer, a radiant gleam appeared upon the boy's expression.

"Where is the Specter?" Aurelia asked, studying the eerie forest.

"Don't know, but my goal is not to kill the Skeleton but to gather Ravens Glass. I have no real way of striking the ethereal body of a ghost." Said Aodh shooting towards the skeleton knight, raising its greatsword towards the weeping Lief.

"Get up, Leif, "Kerr shouted, stabbing his tattered blade towards the skeleton knight's chest with everything he had. With fireworks sparking off his armor, the Skeleton took a single step back when his greatsword fell.

Twisting his entire body at the last second, Kerr sent a ruthless kick towards the giant Skeleton Knight, blasting it away. " Its body is slow, and it has no intelligence. Come on, Lief, I need you. You are the only one who can tear through that armor!"

"Do not dismiss this Lord!" Aodh shouted with vibrance arrogance arriving before the knight staggered from Kerr's kick. Leaping into the air a short distance, a silver Arcana suddenly appeared upon the feet of Aodh. Twisting within the air, his foot flapped against the sword arm of his enemy, blasting it away to the shock of everyone.

Suddenly three flashes of crimson exploded just around the body of Aodh, bringing a smile to his face as Aurelia cast three firebolts the moment the blade left the knight's palm.

Leaping away, Aodh released a deep breath with sweat dripping from his brow. "That was a rush. Do you know any enchanting spells? If so, cast them upon the party; we need all the help."

"Of course," Aurelia shouted as a powerful golden light began to consume her entire body. Arching her staff high within the air, she pointed towards everyone, "Featherfoot."

Paling at the massive drain in stamina, Aurelia's breath grew ragged. However, she did not allow herself to fall. Not like Clara did."

"SHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Bellowing to the Surprise of Aodh, the young boy eyed the hollow eyes of the Skelton, whose empty sockets slowly began to radiate a powerful Sky-blue flame. Gulping, a chill ran across the air as everyone's breath grew icy. Their bodies reeling at the sudden temperature change.

"It's the Spector! It took over its body!" Kerr whispered in horror, "this is bad, really bad. Lief, come on, get up! We have to avenge Clara!"

Screaming out, the young man closed his eyes, kissing the hollow expression of his lover. Gently placing her back down, he arose with this bastard sword in hand. Taking a step forward to Aodh's side, his ragged breath echoing from his throat wheezing with the winds when all of a sudden he charged.

"I'll fucking kill you!" He screamed from the depths of his lungs, cleaving this blade towards the Specter's possessed body. However, with a sudden jolt of agility that was not there before, the knight dodged its feet, slapping across Lief's ribs, shattering a few as he flew.

Not in the least fearful, both Aurelia and Aodh charged with a cold expression that did not exist within those their age. With a silver flash of Arcana upon his body, the blade within Aodh's hands glimmered, ripping through the air towards the Spector.

Lowering its head, Aodh blade missed its mark while the spectators shot its palm towards the small boy's head. Who, in turn, smirked easily, weaving through its palm like a serpent shooting his own palm upon the chest of the Skeleton, blasting it away with a gentle tap to its chest.

Releasing a defining shriek, the Skeletons swiftly twisted his gaze towards the golden-eyed girl glimmering with golden light. Pointing her staff towards the monster she the Sigal of Fire and Thunder flashed without any words being spoken while her blade swept to its neck.

Unable to react as quickly, Aurelia's blade clashed upon the monster's neck when an explosion echoed out, blasting the helmet from off the Skeleton, revealing a tattered skull.

"its head is defenseless aim for that!" Kerr shouted, dashing towards the knight near Aurelia. Dropping his sword, which was more of a liability at this point, his fist darted towards the Skeleton's head while Lief arose in the rear, vomiting blood.

Releasing a painful whimper, he clenched his side. Looking at the battle of everyone. Quickly finding his equilibrium, he screamed, joining the fight once more. Not caring for his well-being, the young man's blade grew wild like a deranged beast.

Scrunching his brow at the wild form of Lief, Aodh frowned, seeing the man lost in battle, showing no regard for those around him.

"We need to finish this before that idiot ends up killing this Lord," Said Aodh with a menacing expression filled with scorn towards the fool. "Kerr, Aurelia, cover me!"

Releasing a deep hum of air, the boy's entire form suddenly began glimmering with Arcana like Aurelia. Blasting off the grassy marshes at a breath-taking speed, his small hand slapping against the chest skeleton. Yet, just as he was about to send it the air. An air-splitting noise entered his ears at the last second. Not needing to know what it was, he shot back as the greatsword that was blasted away shot past his head.

"Fuck your mother!" Aodh screamed from off the ground touching his head in shock, "That was far too close! Damn it

"Get up, Dummy!" Aurelia shouted as she and Kerr entered the range of the KNight that now held its blade.

"You dare call his majesty dummy, I Zir... I Aodh am a genius." The boy arrogantly bellowed, rolling form out of range while Aurelia and Kerr covered his swift escape.

Not picking up on the slip of the tongue by Aodh, Aurelia's blade began to clank and weaved against the knights in a raging battle of swordplay and magic. At the same time, Kerr attempted to create an opening. Noticing the flow of battle, the crimson-headed boy released a dark smile, his eyes transitioning between silver and scarlet.

"DIE MONSTER!!" Lief suddenly screamed, cleaving his bastard blade down towards the monster's head.

Easily parrying his blade, the Sky-Blue flames within the Skeleton glistened as its blade suddenly shot towards Kerr. With his eyes wide in shock at the random attack. He turned to Aurelia by his side. CLenching her arm in a hurry, he pushed her before she could understand what had happened.

"Eh?"

Staggering at the sudden surprise by Kerr's ruthless action, Aurelia watched a greatsword inches from her face.
