charred Waters Bay:home

Arrin lay in the snow,his head ringing with distant echoes of steel on steel,his head bleeding one eye swollen and what pain he felt at his side, his guess was a broken rib or two.

Servati looked in heated battle with Luorim as Gabriel tried to help his cousin Gust up,the fellow had been back handed so hard he broke through one tree with a nasty cracking sound and got skewered in the leg by one of the splintering pieces as he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Blow after blow Servati struck,he cut deep at some of what he thought were his opponents weak points like. " You fight better than she did,she had the skill but you have the experience" he said as he spat up blood from the wounds he sustained, panting heavily Servati felt the ache deep within his muscles he had faced many a strong foe before, but Luorim wasn't human. "If this does not end soon,I'm afraid we all shall perish" he thought to himself recalling how the boy Arrin had jumped in front of him to protect him from that powerful sword stroke Luorim unleashed after telling all his name.

All four now standing surrounded it and begun their final assault on the creature with Gabriel swinging his sword with all his might , his cousin attacking from the left little Arrin coming in from above his uncle going head on. They went on and on rotating their fighting positions and their enemy deflecting almost all of the attacks they threw at him, Arrin charged in like a mad man swinging his sword harder than he thought he could ever catching shocking even Luorim whom at this point had Gust pinned in the shoulder by a dagger . It was then that all three went into a murderous rage all four swung slushed and stubbed without a care for the other, pushing back Luorim who was put on the defensive now . He didn't see it when it came, Gust swung heavy and true right through Luorim's left arm like. "AaaaaaaAAAAHHHHH" was the monstrous cry that came from his mouth as he sent the all flying with just one swing, cutting through Gust's sword. All four beaten and exhausted now coming to their senses as the blood rush drained from them, the party of four now covered in blood could barely stand. It was at this moment that the sun begun to rise, Luorim seeing this smiled a murderous smile and through gritted teeth said his farewells,told them their fates are entwined for their swords thirst for one the other. Turning into a thick black smoke as he shouted "soon," the smoke soon being carried away by the wind leaving behind only his arm.

All four letting out a sigh of relief non knew they where holding collapsed from their exhaustion, the sound of horses rang all around them as they drifted deeper into slumber "we found them , over here" someone shouted.

The light stung his eyes, "water,I'm thirsty" spoke Arrin expecting no response but a hand put a cup to his mouth "drink" he heard , he coughed from the dryness of his throat as he drunk. "Where....." he swallowed "where I'm I" his eyes stung still , getting used to the light " home young Arrin,in the sick quarters of your bed but home nonetheless" said Old Granny of the house of healers.
