Bright light's covered the dark night
merriment filled the skies,
they were things to eat, places to party at, the villagers were filled with so much happiness, as the lanterns lit up ths skies, and the fire crackers amused the children.
But the chief had other ideas, he was too busy organizing the soldiers for the raid.
As the ceremonies continued, the head priest was still in his chambers, callin unto the eyrl's for the safe going of ths festival,
Then he soon heard ruffling of bushes, as he made to go check he saw a familiar face,
Giliard?!,
yes sir , said giliard smiling, i brought this for you in the spirit of the celebration, he said handing him a bowl of fruits
The priest sighed and sat in his cacoon, giliard my friend, how is your wife, she's alright nothing but this hardship worries her, .
To this, the priest smiled, giliard, the eyrl will bless you , giliard saw himself looking at the ground. hmm, they talked for a while , until giliard decided to leave.
Giliard, the priest called out , this path your'e treading on will leave you nothing but undesirable pain and loss, , giliard paused in he's steps but didn't turn back ,
Thd priest took a deep sigh and continued, i hate to see all my friends turning against me, but the safety of this village lies in my hands, and the eyrl will not be . .....
FREAK!!, the eyrl, where were they?, where were they when my unborn child died because, i had no money to carter, for my pregnant wife, giliard said , he's eyes filling up.
i came to you, and you know what you told me, the eyrl will bless you, and it still hasn't, , you and your'e fake eyrl.
The priest took a deep breath, i'm sorry for what you went through , but i'm not ready to die, not yet
Gilliard's eyes darkned as he spoke, turning around to face the priest, he shouted, neither am i ready to lose any of my loved one cause of hardship.
you know , barthelemeo, my wife cried, she shed tears when our child died, and i couldn't console her, what kind of man, no what kind of husband, can't kiss he's wife's tears clean.
you know, my dear friend, i have been doing some thinking, since every first virgin child got to be sacrificied , did mine die through hardship or did you have a hand in it
ANSWER ME!!
Barthelemeo, looked at the ground, his reaction clearly betraying him , but none of his expressions, show casedguilt, and this did nothing but enrage giliard more. You son of a female dog
giliard pulled out his sword, and barthelemeo, closed he's eyes and chanted,
THE EYRL OF THE PAST
THE EYRL OF THS PRESENT
WE JOIN TOGETHER, TO PRAY FOR THIS
AS THE FIGHT OF TWO FRIENDS ENRAGED
LET THEY NOT FORGET OF THE MOMENT WHERE JOYFUL FUN WAS ENGAGED
ALE JAH LOK AM. ......
Giliard not waiting for the priest, to finish his prayed , dashed straight forward at him with a sword, piercing his robe, caught by surprise the priest saw himself staggering backward,and fell
Picking himself up, he looked at giliard, i didn't want to do this, he said as he chanted
giliard rushing to strike him again , was struck by an invisible force.
The priest let out a menacing laugh, did you really think you can fight against a priest and win,
Now to reveal my trump card, he said as he said some inaudible words , giliard still in a fit of rage, rushed forward with a mighty speed and force, but as if barthelemeo was seeing into the future, he dodged it, surprising giliard
Then suddenly the ground began to shake , and open , giliard being unsure of what happened ran back, from beneath the ground, a 10 foot monster escaped, with eyes as red as the sun, and skin as dark as night itself,roaring in anger , asking for who summoned it , and behind him , the once calm barthelmeo, laughing like a mad mage, you know the saying, fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me, now fool me three times, said barthelemeo laughing, i really must be an i***t, now tell me giliard where do you fall under
At this point , giliard's feet was stuck to a spot, not by fear, no by something , that ran deeper,
*Anger.*
He knew that if he didn't stop barthelmeo, nothing would, he needed to do this, without caring of the money the chief had given him.
It was his duty, if not for the innocent lives, if not for the unborn children, or the poor folks or animals even
Then for he's WIFE!
The only problem was the damned beast, ,
I guess it's time, he said as he made a signal
Then from the bushes, thousands of guards emmerged, surprising the priest
Barthelemeo clutching on to he's beads, was surprised and caught unawares, he had not even predicted this
But any who he's fun will not be ruined, cackling, he instructed the monster to attack
Obeying its master's other's went on a rampage and started attacking the guard's, , even after seeing this the guards were not deterred, and continued fighting
I mean who could blame them , they were paid well, while the villagers were rejoicing hundred's of guards were getting massacred, one by one
Some after seeing this, tried to run , but were caught and devoured by the best.
Gilliard couldn't help but see he's comrades dying one after the other, with the remaining ones he screamed at the top if his lungs
what are you doing runing, away from this, were soldiers for crying out load, we have seen and dealt worse than this, for if it isn't for our country , then let it be for our GOD DAMN PRIDE!
the soldiers recieving a burst of energy, lashed out at the beast and gilliard went after barthelemeo, grabbing him from behind as he was distracted by the soldiers
Barthelemeo, still shocked by the man handling, screamed and tried to squirm off of giliard's grip, but giliard with he's blood stained face held on to him
Why , barth,whyy, why take my child from me,
Barthelemeo, no longer having enough power to control the summoned beast, the beast vanished, but not without killing most of the guards,and leaving a ghastly injury on gilard
with the rushed breath, he took as giliard was chocking him up,he spoke, The eyrl requested
And this drive giliard mad, while gritting his teeth, he spoke , barthelemeo, you once told me the life of the villagers lies in your hands
To this the priest nodded, thinking he still had hope, but the next word gilliard said shattered it for him, while raising he' sword to the sky , he spoke up with a loud voice
That means Evil lies within, he said as he struck the knife into the priest's torso, with a pathetic cry, the priest died
After killing he's friend, gilliard lay next to him all battered and broken, he smiled and lay down
for a moment or two he lay motionless on the floor, deep breathing
With a sigh
he rose , grabbing, a torch, went towards the temple and lit it up, throwing the bowl of fruits into the fire.
He then walked ahead to pick up the injured soldiers, as when went on walking on in the night, gilliard couldn't help thinking of his wife and that thought alone brought sanity to he's mind
As they walked, around the night, their eyes caught something or someone, with glowing cyan hair fluttering in the wind
