| With out movement I was just standing there helpless, his eyes paralyzed me effectively. He was walking towards with the sword in his hand ready to strike. I tried very hard to move myself all I could think about was Elizabeth at this moment and that I needed to get to her. With Elizabeth strong in my heart I started to break free from his spell. With no time to waste he ran at me and swung his sword. I caught the blade of his sword he looked surprised, and managed to try to paralyze me again. I quickly put the sword in front of his eyes reflecting his own spell against him, but it only managed to stun him for awhile. Black hooded Man, �Your going to die also, with your little town.� Zinion, �You did all this, my dad destroyed the village because you corrupted him.� He ran with the sword and he tried slashing me with it. I jumped back he tried prying me to the floor, but all he got was the ground. He left the sword there with both his hands on top of the handle and the wind breezing through his hood. Black hooded man, �Your father killed your friends, your brothers, and your precious mother. And the so called Black Plague is killing someone you dearly have close to you right now.� Zinion, �WHAT!?� Black Hooded Man, �Ha ha ha� Lucifer wants all the the pitiful souls of your village, the only one left is you.� Zinion, �Just try to do it� I�m not going to die, now is not the time for that.� He grabbed his sword of the ground, and flew towards me. He chanted a spell and the blade of his sword went into flames. The length of the blade extended with the blade. He attacked me cutting and burning my arms. The pain was unbearable and I fell on my knees to the floor. The cut was huge, and once again he attacked. This time I kick him in the stomach and he dropped his sword. I catch it, twirl it to point of the blade, and thrust the sword at him stabbing him through the chest and heart. The handle of the sword was hot and burned my hand. The Black Hooded Man then went on fire, the wind started to blow strong all of the sudden. Finally he then disintegrated into ashes and the sword laid stabbed into the ground. I left it there and I got back on my horse. I could smell the stench of the death, flames, and burnt would from Alexandria. My horse picked its feet of the ground and neighed with a cry of horror from a laugh coming back from Alexandria, the laugh was that of my fathers. I then knew my brother Vetrievian was dead. It started pouring rain, the flames and his laughter could still be heard through the thunder. Even in this deep dark forest I can hear and smell the blood, murder, laughs, and cries. I hate him for what he had done, I�ve lost so much because of him. The horse ran fast and it was getting darker the further I went into the forest. Then the light of the lamp on Elizabeth�s house was burning. I thought of what the Black Hooded Man said to me. That someone close and dear to me has The Black Plague. In this moment I remembered Elizabeth coughing blood when we were together at the beautiful meadow she took me to. I stopped the horse and jumped down from it. I quickly ran to the door and knocked. Elizabeth�s Mother, �Hi, and who might you be?� Zinion, �I�m Zinion, I�m a friend of your daughter.� Elizabeth�s Mother, �Oh, come on in please. She talks about you so much, how sweet you are to her and how much you the both of you love each other.� First when she heard me say my name she smile very nicely, but after she stopped talking, her eyes, face, and smile turned sad. Zinion, �Do you know where she is?� Elizabeth�s Mother, �She�s in her room resting. Thank you for coming, my daughter�s last wish was for you to be with her and to see you again.� I walked slowly to her room to the front of the door. I opened it and entered, her face and skin was pale, and her eyes were black all around and closed. She was just laying there on her bed still looking beautiful, even though her hair laid everywhere. Her lips looked red and warm still, but no smile was in them. I went by her side and knelt down. Gently I reached and grabbed her hand with care. She opened her eyes and looked at me, she smiled at me beautifully with so much happiness. I didn�t notice a tear went from my eyes until I felt it roll over my cheek. I didn�t even notice her hand was cold, just the warmth and sweetness love that she gave to my heart with her smile. Elizabeth, �Hey.� Zinion, �Hey.� Elizabeth, �You look very sad, is something wrong?� Zinion, �No, I�m alright, don�t worry.� She stopped smiling and she saw that something was wrong. Elizabeth, �What�s wrong, why are you sad?� I started to cry. I tried to control my tears but they just started pouring out and I couldn�t. |
