Battle Grounds

BLOOD BATH

With his eyes closed, he made no movement, breathing in repeated patterns, his heart beat was so calm even he barely heard it himself and his sweaty palm had a firm grip on his daggers.

The ground began to rumble, it was obvious to him that an army of horsemen were approaching, but he still remained motionless. An army of about 100 Elf knights of different ranks were in pursuit of the carriage but now the only thing in their way was one man.The elves got closer and closer but still he did not move an inch. A swish of an arrow moving towards him disrupted his motionless posture. He rolled on the ground to dodge the arrow ,now with his eyes open , he sprinted towards the approaching army. He slid with his knees on the ground between two horsemen and threw his daggers right into their throats. The first blood was drawn, to lifeless bodies fell to the ground. He pulled out his sword strapped to his side. Some of the knights jumped off their horses and advanced by foot. The swung his sword at black eagle, he quickly blocked clashing with his sword. Black eagle then stepped on the knights knee , grabbed his neck and threw him on another knight who was advancing.

The fight grew in intensity. The elves knew if they killed the black eagle, they could easily find the prince. But more and more elves fell with just a few stretches and cuts. The count drop from a hundred to a few scores.

Now it seemed reality was catching up with Black eagle who looked like the god of war at that moment , he was getting out numbered as the elves begun to attack in threes and fours.

That was still not stopping him but could only slow him down. His sword went through yet another elf , black eagle simply pushed the body to the ground. And there stood in front of him a sorcerer. The sorcerer opened his palm , his eyes lit up yellow and enchanted, "insindia". Black eagle's whole body became numb , he dropped to his knees and was bleeding from his nose.

The sorcerer enchanted again, "Canis".

A dagger on the ground levitated to him as he slowly walked to black eagle. The yellow spark gradually faded from his eyes. The numbness stopped, Black eagle's head moved down and put his palm on the ground trembling in pain . The sorcerer took another step closer with the dagger in his hand raised ready to be stabbed through the back of Black eagle. In a split second, Black eagle punched the sorcerer in the stomach, twisted the hand with which he held the dagger, he let go pain yelling and Black eagle grabbed the dagger before it fell and stabbed his other arm.

The sorcerer fell knees first to the ground, the Black eagle whispered, " your time is up" and snapped his neck. At this point the remaining elves all stood still watching as the lifeless body fell to the ground. Black eagle's breathing became heavier and he started feeling dizzy.

The rest of the elves advanced again, more falling dead to ground. Black eagle got in the arm with an arrow but killed the elf who did that by throwing a dagger into his head.

Again and again elves drop dead until the last elf stood face to face with black eagle, he was weak cover with blood. Black eagle tried to pull out the arrow in his arm but the pain was unbearable. He then broke it leaving rest in the wound. He had no weapon as he walked solemnly to the last elf standing. The elf holding a sword run towards him and swung the sword.

Black eagle dodged effortlessly, used his knee to hit the elf in the stomach, used his elbow to scatter the bones in the back of the elf. The elf fell to the ground completely crippled by the pain.

Black eagle then took the elf's sword dragging it on the ground as he walked towards the defenseless poor thing. Black eagle rose the sword, the began begging with the energy he had left. The sword went down creating a quick silence. Black eagle threw away the b****y sword and gave out a loud sigh.
