Chapter 4 - A resolution (chapter 4)

After I walked out or that cavern the cold hit me like a war hammer to the chest. However I was used to this weather and just continued walking. I noticed my hand was shaking and I knew why. Ever since me and my closest friend Cam went our separate ways I had laid low in this village hoping to not to be bothered. How fucking selfish of myself, I was a warrior, a leader, I promised to be there to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. I may have failed once but I shall not fail again. For now I believe I need to find these bandits, however I believe they found me. I stop dead in my tracks and look around to see 6 bandits standing around me. They all wear hooded masks and slowly walk towards me holding daggers and short swords. I make a split second decision to go after the one closest to me. I lunge forward my claymore raised, as soon as I feel it hit his skull and I swing my sword to the right and manage to cleave through one guys arm and into his torso. This buys me a few seconds as everyone is shocked, I turn my sword vertical and cut upwards slicing the man in half from where my sword rested, I use the momentum to crush a bandit trying to sneak up on me. I breathe deep and let out a shout so loud the gods could probably hear it "DUNMAGLASS" Echoes throughout the forest, I dash towards an enemy and shove my sword all the way through him, slinging him at his friend, and then I throw my claymore at his last friend with a grunt, it connects and pins him to a tree, his mouth spurts blood from the impact. I sigh "stupid bandits all ways trying to pick on the small fish finally have the balls or stupidity to go after the big fish" I shake my head as I say this to my self. I pull out my saxe knife and go to finish off the man impaled in the tree and to retrieve my claymore. After that I plant my claymore firmly in the ground and go to retrieve the last living bandit. I pick him up and hes sobbing his eyes out, to be expected bandits are bitches. I begin to question him to where his camp his but before I can even torture him he breaks "M-m-my boss is set up in the next village called wolfenhelm please please spare me", I think for a few seconds "No", I grab the bandit by his shoulder and toss him at my claymore, because of how sharp and stubbornly planted my sword is he fall through the sword, stopping around his neck, however I step behind him and stomp my foot on his head, causing his head to be sliced clean off. I pull my sword out of the ground wipe it off on the bandit and make my way towards the camp, my new mission clear. Destroy Loki's Brethren.
