| The Army of the Dead | |||
| Costranela sat on his throne, looking out of a window as the sun set. He was contemplating on what Kynoto would do when he found out that had been betrayed. Just in case, he had the guard around the castle tripled. The sun had now set and his servants had brought him dinner. He had told the sentries that he had posted to send one unit up to his chamber to report to him. When only three of the twenty posted teams reported back, Costranela got worried.
The courtyard of the castle was as if a vat of black blood had been overturned in it. This was all a by-product of Kynoto�s rage. The first five Psyclopires had charged the group of three and were immediately kill by Kynoto. Another four groups, who had seen this happen, rushed to the bloodbath, only to be sliced into pieces. Rona and Felto were absolutely stunned at Kynotos� skill with a sword. Then Costranela himself immerged from the castle, to see what all the commotion was about. �I expected nothing less from you Kynoto,� He said as he looked out upon the carnage, �but, you wont win against me, and I will show you what I say is true.� Kynoto stepped out of the shadows and said to the Vampire, �You may well be the oldest and strongest Vampire, but I will kill you, no matter the costs.� �Hahaha, well then, come and kill me Kynoto, but first you will have to deal with these.� Costranela said, as he smirked. He then chanted out a spell, �Those who are dead. Those who are dying, and those who are not but corpses. Arise, arise and aid your master!� The ground started to shake as skeletons and zombies began to rise from the ground. The Psyclopires that Kynoto had just killed also came back to life. Kynoto was now faced with about seven score of dead. Moreover, to get to Costranela, he had to go through all of them. Kynoto was in for a fun time indeed. �Show me your power, Kynoto!� Shouted Costranela from behind the army. �Alright, heh, this will be fun. I will finally get to use my more stronger techniques. Dark Mist Replication!� Kynoto shouted as a dark mist shrouded him. When it cleared, Costranela saw five more Kynotos� had appeared. They were each identical. They had the same weapons and the same smirk. The six Kynotos� took off at lightning speed, into the hordes of carrion, clearing paths to get to Costranela. There was a flash as the real Kynoto appeared over the army. He had many weapons sticking into him; still, most of them had gone all the way through his body. He was bleeding badly, but that didn�t seem to matter to Kynoto. �Elemental attack, Summner Dragon no tijitsu!� he shouted, as he formed three seals; fire, dragon, and angel. Then, as if it were day, the sky lit up. A giant dragon appeared and flew over the army. Tossing back its head, it let out a roar that shook the castle walls and then it started to breath fire out of its mouth and nose, burning the army into ashes. Once the dragon had finished its task it disappeared in a flash. �Interesting, very interesting. So, this is the true power of that Kynotoenshi fellow. Hmmm, this should be entertaining,� Costranela said as he walked up to the badly injured Kynoto. He drew his sword, the Dark Sword of Armonth. �So, let�s end this now, shall we,� As he said this, he impaled Kynoto onto his sword, and then flung him off into the mote. �Now, to dispose of the traitors,� Costranela said, moving towards Rona and Felto. �Funny, I was just about to say that,� Said a voice from behind Costranela. The vampire felt six cold blades pass threw his heart. He turned around to see the six Kynotos, the real one covered in moss and bleeding very badly from his wounds. Then Costranela let out a howl of agony as he was turned to dust. �Now that is over with, I need a favor of two,� Kynoto said, gesturing to Rona and Felto. �Please go get me all the Lilac potion you can carry. It has a special property. It can turn vampires who were once human, back into a human. I also need a bottle for personal reasons that I won�t tell you. Please, get them quickly.� They returned with seventeen bottles of the strange potion. Kynoto drank all but one bottle then said to the two, �Well, it looks as though our time together has come to a close. If you ever need anything, just ask a bird to find me and I will come. Goodbye,� Kynoto said as he left the castle to go and find the fates and to deliver the potion to them. He felt something strange about this whole thing though. 'Why would the Fates need Lilac Potion?' he thought to himself. |
