Chapter One: Spidrens
Kel tried to shut out the noise, believing it to be a dream.
She finally woke when she was shook so hard her head started to spin. She didn't want to wake up so keeping her eyes closed she punched into the air trying to come into contact with the disturber of the piece.
A scream pierced through the air. Definitely getting Kel's attention. She opened her eyes and looked at who it was that she had injured.
Dom was standing there clutching his nose, and howling in pain.
"Gods, I am so sorry, let me have a look at it," she gasped.
"No time Kel, hurry. A group of spidrens, here, hurry," he panted.
Kel quickly stood and grabbed her daggers and her glaive. Taking a quick look at Dom she saw that he was now fine.
"Lead the way!" She shouted over the din that the king's own was now making.
She followed Dom to the edge of the forest. He ran towards the rest of the King's Own to ask for directions. Lord Raoul, leader of the King's Own was barking out orders. "Look I don't want to lose any of you. Band together into groups of at least 10. KEEP TOGETHER. One group goes into the north-west part of the forest, one into the South. The rest, into the centre. We have at least 7 Spidrens. These do not go down easily. GO!" There was a tone of finality in Raoul's voice.
Dom walked over to Kel and put his arms her shoulders.
"Stay safe," he whispered.
Kel and Dom joined a group of men heading toward the south of the forest. Dark tall trees shrouded them in darkness. Even the slightest movement or noise caused the group to jump. They kept their weapons drawn.
The leader in their group, hushed them, and they waited with bated breath. Drops of sweat dripped down Kel's face. "Do not be afraid, a knight is never afraid. I am a knight. I am NOT AFRAID."
She repeated the same sentence over and over in her mind. Dom, who was close by her moved closer and closer.
"There!" shouted Vilal, the leader.
The entire group lifted there weapons and charged.
All the spidrens were advancing. Kel had frozen, she couldn't move.
"KEL, Move, they're heading straight at you." Dom yelled.
Kel repeated her phrase. She sprung into action, used her Glaive skill fully she managed to de-mobilize a spidren and then killed it.
By now most of the other men from the Kings Own had joined the south forest, and were fighting ferociously.
Soon most of the spidrens were done for. Each laying there with deep gouges in its horrible body.
All were dead save one. This Spidren was an abnormally large on with a royal blue belly. Using its legs it managed to shrug away anyone who comes near it.
Dom found Kel, and pulling her aside told her about his tactic.
"Come from behind with me. You know that a spidren's week spot is its lower back. That's where the life-nerve is." (A/N my own invention.) Kel and Dom and a few other men snuck around the back of the deadly creature.
Being as quiet as possible they crept up. Kel Raised her glaive and thrusted. Kel then took her daggers from her belt and threw them. The other men did similar things. Dom on the other hand had gone closer.
Kel blinked as the following actions went by so quickly.
Kel's P.O.V
I watched as it spun around its fiery eyes trying to spot who had done this to it. Dom was closest. It stretched out one of its claws and grabbed him.
I screamed. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
It was almost as though I could see it smiling.
"Keladry, run please for me." He shouted before he got stabbed.
I was so angry I ran at it drew my sword and slashed its head.
I ran to Dom. "Dom please don't go, please Dom." I wept.
"Kel, it's no use I'm filled with poison. Nobody can last. "
"No, don't talk like that just don't."
Listen to me Kel. Stay Safe. Grow and marry have all the little children you can. Live life Kel because it is to precious not to. And Kel."
"Yes Dom?"
"I love you."
No more words came out of him he just lay there and closed his eyes. I was weeping. Weeping so hard that his tunic was soaked. I kissed him. The last kiss. The last kiss ever.
