1125 Words
Zern and De'Wa are staring towards each other, no one is moving even an inch.
The surroundings and the ambiance are becoming heavy and intimidating. As the two stands, a great aura of Emyn are overflowing from their body. The energy that they emits are very strong that it will make you tremble.
"Why.. why am I so scared and trembling, my instinct is saying that I must run" "Is this how strong the Celestials are? I knew Commander for a long time, but I never saw him like this" Drazo said as he carries Chad and stay far away from the battle that is about to happen.
"They are no ordinary beings, they are far beyond what I imagine, I did not expect that the Celestials are like this, they are on another level, its like... it's like I am watching two apex predators who is about to go all out in a battle" Drazo thought of this words as he is now on a far distance watching.
"Even on this far distance, I can still feel their powerful Emyn." Drazo then casts an incantation towards Chad.
"Hang on buddy, I got you now" Drazo puts his two hands on Chad's chest, as a green aura appears and seems to heal Chad's wound slowly.
On the other part, the two still didn't make any move, they are still observing one another.
"The weapon she wield is the same weapon I saw on the records. But it's name, ability and power is unknown" Zern then having a thought.
"I should be careful and not be too careless, she is a Celestial like me and I know that she is strong, I will not underestimate her and I wont show any mercy towards her" Zern carefully thinking about it as he is now prepare to engage.
Zern then took his sword from his back, and on an instant he dashes and heads directly to De'Wa.
*thud* *dashes* *woooosshhhh....* Zern took a grip on his sword with his one hand, as he is about to strike De'Wa.
But a strong lightning strike appeared, it crosses in front of De'Wa and for a short period of time it created a wall like figure that burns the ground as it created a huge smoke.
Zern then stopped, and holds his ground as he was about to get hit by the lightning. He wasn't surprise, and stayed on his foot. He is standing in front of the smoke as it slowly disappear, and the moment the smoke gone De'Wa is no longer in her position.
Zern seems to understand what just happened and immediately turns around and goes to where Drazo and Chad.
"Is Chad okay?" Zern then asked Drazo with a worried tone of voice.
"Yes Commander! Chad is doing fine, he is recovering now but he is still unconscious" Drazo then replied and seems to be exhausted.
"Chad seems to be alone when he fought that bandit, I guess he got separated from the rest. I know Chad, he likes to work on his own. He is always a careless man. Maybe the rest are on their way here now, after that explosion" Zern then said, as he continue;
"How about you Drazo? you are using too much Emyn to heal Chad"
"I am fine Commander, this is nothing compare to what Chad had been through"
"Alright, I guess that is enough, let me carry him and let's head back to the camp, the moment we arrived there I want you to make a signal so we can alert the others and they can regroup with us on the camp." Zern said this as he gave an order to Drazo.
"Yes Commander!" Drazo replied.
Zern carries Chad on his back, and they are now heading back to where they camped. Zern is having a lot of thoughts and it can be seen in his face. He is worrying about the state of his comrades.
"Let's hurry up Drazo!" Zern said while they continue to run.
As they come near the camp, they saw a familiar individuals. Those persons are Janzen and Alvinn. Zern seems surprised on what he saw. He immediately run towards the camp while he is carrying Chad on his back.
"You guys are here." Zern said to Alvinn and Janzen.
"Commander! you are finally here!" Alvinn said.
"Bring Chad inside, treat him!" Zern ordered the two.
"Chad! He really fought that woman alone, what did that Celestial do to you Chad!?" Janzen exclaimed as he is very surprise seeing Chad who is unconscious.
"You where with Chad?" Zern asked Alvinn.
"Yes Commander! We where with him" Alvinn answers back as they carry Chad and brought him inside the tent.
"Why did you left him alone?" Zern then asked the two.
"Commander" Janzen answered as he turns his head and look towards the direction, where John and Andrew are lying on a bed. The Supreme Knight saw the two.
"What happened?" Zern asked.
"We where strolling on the woods, observing the surroundings then suddenly, we saw a woman who is walking on a distance heading towards are position. We hide and as she comes near to us we recognize that she is one of the bandits, as what the information's said" Janzen explains and continue to speak;
"We attacked her and we thought that we already got her, the moment that we about to capture her, we got surprised because of her weapon. It came out that the woman who we attacked is a Celestial, we didn't expect that, because it wasn't on the descriptions and on the information" Janzen said.
"We're very surprised on what we saw, we let our guards down, and she managed to take down John and Andrew. After that, Chad told us to retrieve John and Andrew, and bring them back here to treat their injuries. After that we run and after a while, we heard a loud explosion coming from where we left" Janzen with an upset tone of voice answered the question of the Supreme Knight.
"I understand now" Zern said as he go near to John and Andrew.
"Even I didn't expect that, the moment I saw her I was also shock. We are expecting a Celestial, but not a woman. And the weapon she wield isn't the Twin Blade of Lightning." Zern said as he looks directly towards his injured comrades.
"We will be staying here for a while, and when they gain their consciousness, we will be heading back to the kingdom. This mission is over." Zern said this words with an angry tone of voice.
His comrades saw his face, covered with anger and frustration as he went outside the tent.
