The Savagers Revolution

Chapter 66

Goth is gone far...

Elvira stayed behind the shelves now calming down into a relaxed state after been so tense at the onset of sensing danger around her

'was it the injured man doing this...' was what was on her mind as she reason everything through

'if it was truly him, that means he wouldn't be able to last long in a direct confrontation, the problem now would be passing those of the shot range of the dart he was holding right now' her mind was deeply in thought

But her ears and eyes were also alert for any incoming activity or sensation that seemed to be making a move

'No it wasn't the injured man, he was lying down and he could barely move his body, someone must have had him moved' she thought again

Shaking her head she let go of all the thoughts that were coming in

"I should be prepared for a long distance fight not having all these thoughts of the past..." She said aloud but quietly that most people or someone in a bit of distance wouldn't have heard it

Elvira released a smile, 'this must be fun' she thought as long distance fights was mostly what she was skilled at due to her archery skills

But she was also In a disadvantage at the moment as the opponent or group of opponents (she doesn't know yet) was using a dart as their weapon for the long-range fight she was about to embark on

But she have been used to fighting long-range battles where her opponent was either using a bow and arrow like herself or a crossbow, but with a dart, even if it was from a distance, she would not know what to expect

'Am not even with my bow and arrow...' Elvira thought as she considered another disadvantage she would have to deal with

Unsolicited weapons or objects are not allowed into the mine from outside of it, and that was the reason her bow and pack of arrows was taken from her and put in storage for safe keeping

No matter her influence strategy she had planned and executed to make them give into letting her enter into the mine with her bow and pack of arrows  had not been successful with her gradually coming to know that it was one of the absolute laws with which she had no control over 

'Ok let's do this...' her action mood just got activated

She noticed that the assailant was being overly cautious and treading his or her part carefully as they haven't yet made an attempt to have a go at her

'Am probably the last one remaining so they would primarily want to be careful in taking me out safely, so i don't undo all their former work

"Who are you and show yourself!!!..." She shouted again to make it look like it was she who had the upper hand and not an animal In a trap, scared for her life

Still not response and this unnerved her a lot, 'at least he should just say something, so I can get to know the person or persons am dealing with'

Elvira started backing off, she needed a weapon in her hand as she seemed so venerable right now

*Oh damn...." Sh picked a wide but slim book  out of the self, 'it's even darts am dealing with' she nearly laughed at the thought came to her that an ordinary book to stop it from it's path of projectile

Which is unlike the crossbow or bow and arrow that can easily break through a slim size book providing enough force is applied on it's pull

At the side of the corner was a iron rod that was used as a wedge on the corner to hold some set of books in it's place, Elvira quickly pulled it out and the small set of books fell to the ground, making a loud noise 

She was surprised that it even came out from whence she had pulled it out from, as she had half expected it to be stucked or something of that nature

Looking to the side of the shelf where she had just left in order to go get the weapon she could see a person fully standing straight looking at her 

He was a bit afar off but Elvira could clearly see who it was, one of Belitrus friends they had come together with to the secret library 

"Hey... It's not safe over there" Elvira called out to him, half expecting that he had been able to escape from the person with the darts and being half suspicious

She had started to walk to towards the man when she noticed he was not moving nor even giving a sign that he would say anything, he just starred blankly at her as she covered the distance between them

With the iron rod in her right hand and the book in her left hand as a shield, she stopped short at where she stood, cutting her advance towards him and now repaying his in turn with a state

"It's you isn't it" Elvira said with a smile on her face, and an expressionless look, her hand tightly gripping the iron rod, and keeping the hand with the book free for ease of movement

In a flash second, the man in front of her brought out his weapon and shot a dart at her 

'Tuck!..' she quickly blocked the incoming dart with her book in hand, and putting it down to anticipate what his next action was

"Not bad, Elvira i heard your name was" Goth finally spoke, in such a lifeless way that Elvira did not know when he said these words

"Bad, Goth I heard your name was.." Elvira replied him with annoyance in her voice "so what made you behave in this way to your friends, and what have you done to them" 

"What I am also going to do to you, there's no where to run outsider"

"And who said anything about running, am in it for the long haul, it's you who is not leaving this place" she banged the iron rod on one of the metal stands of the shelves

"Interesting" Goth smiled 

"Very interesting, how do you intend we go about this now, you are an obstacle to me right now" he addded

"And what do you expect, that I should be cooperative and hand myself over to you in chains?" Elvira asked him, wanting very much to strike him with her iron rod

"What have you done to them?....I asked you again" Elvira started moving over to where he was, as he was backing off respectively

Flute in hand, ready to send his mysterious darts of destructive power her way if a glimpse of opportunity presents itself

Bit Elvira was not one to be full in a moment like this as she started walking in strides almost running to where he was with both weapon and shield in hand

Quickly he shot the dart pointed at the lower part of her body, at her knee as she blocked it with her book immediately but already sent two more into the air towards her 

Leaving her to fend for herself as he released his darts he disappeared form where he was as Elvira could not tell where he had gone off to

What have Goth done?

Elvira after emerging from the shelves, successfully blocking all three of the shots of Goth darts was now in the open hall, having no idea where Goth had ran off to or was lurking in

Keeping her guards up she went off to where Durid had fallen down on after been shot to check on him

Putting her hands on his neck, she could feel that he was not dead but was breathing faintly

She tried  waking him up but he did not wake, 'must have been shot a severe sleeping or paralysis tainted dart' she thought

'Thankfully this was not a deadly or poisonous dart meant to kill it's subject, but I may be wrong' she thought

Rushing over to where the rest of the team was, she would see Belitrus laying there like life have been sucked out of his and her heart broke into two 

'"My dear Belitrus, why have he done this to you, why!!" Tears flowed from her eyes as she his weighted body to hug him, she was so sad

'Tuck..' she was shocked by the sting of it, 'Oh no she slowly realized that she had been hit with a dart on her arm that was around Belitrus neck

Her vision was slowly waning and all sounds seemed to fade away

She could slightly see some movements as her eyes shuts down into a closure, two people moving, no one was carrying the other, she couldn't really tell as her eyes covered into a deep dive

Several hours later...

Silence, a silence that echos without a boundary

Moving in the state of flux in constant flow of nothingness, everything was normal to an extent, normal as in nothing

For there was no feeling of the past not was there of the present, it was just a deep black hole she could feel

There was no thoughts, nor any sign of consciousness in this state, 'is this death?' this question could not even be able to fanthom as there was to active mind in her blank state to reason about the question 

There was nothing she could do as her mind wandered in emptiness, there in a blank state

Everything was in the state of nothingness (like the death of a man)

The next day...

The place was in a chilling form as Elvira struggled to get her self after several hour of blankness, she had no idea what had happened

Maybe she had been dead and came back to life, she had no way of knowing that as she was not in a conscious state during the period of this blankness

She streered a bit, and she could see in a blurr figures of people all around her

Couldn't make out a face, nor even the gender of the people all around her, it was so blurry as her mind had not been able to fully revive itself yet

They may be hostile or friends was what her mind was reasoning, as she had no real way of knowing

'Oh no...' her thought flew into a rage, this is not cool was what she could think of

'Yhey are probably a group of new cult or something and want to revive the human experiments where it was carried out in the hall Durid had took her into

The heaviness of such a thought was too much for the state she was in as she went back into another phase of blankness, shutting her eyes and her mind completely

'What have befall me' was the last of her thought as she re-entered a state of nothingness again

Few hours later

Now her eyes was wide awake, as she looked up to the top of where she was, seemed rather small

She tried to move her body but she could notice that she had been strapped to what ever she was laying on

She also noticed that she was no more in the open hall as the place looked a bit different and definitely smaller than the large open hall

'Am I on one of those seats used for experiment' her mind went to the room she had been in with Durid

'Oh no.. they must have done something to my body and used sedatives to cover up the pain' her body began to shake from the possibility of that is have already happened

Taking a deep breath, she just let everything go and she relaxed herself, 'whatever it is, it is' she thought, clearing her mind from all the negative thoughts that was just being eloped in it

Starring at the top of the place she was in, she just waited to see if anyone would come into the cubicle that she was in

She didn't want to say anything nor call out to anybody as that may just fasten the process of using her for another experiment or whatever had been done to her, tho she could not feel any pain or something similar 

But she also could not move an inch, 'what a contradictory position to be in right now' she couldn't wait to know her fate

But also she was in a calm state right down that she wanted the knowledge of anything that comes to her mind to not be intruding as she could feel peace right now

Whatever would come from the other side may scatter her world forever or would make her feel so grateful of not being on the worst of situations

She started hearing voices and all her fear was risen, it was faint as the people speaking was a bit afar off, but the voices seemed to be coming closer on every second that passes

Elvira was in not state to predict who she would see, 'show yourself and let this get over my mind' the constant being in the dark of what her surrounding hold for her was just too brain draining

 Then smile lit all over Elvira face

She could now recognised the voice that was coming from afar, it was that of Sybella and Belitrus in a conversation coming towards the place where she was

'Bit why am I tied up and kept in here?'
