Chereads / The Sword of Nightmares / Chapter 8 - Chapter Seven Left Abandoned

Chapter 8 - Chapter Seven Left Abandoned

Minutes turned into hours as he laid there on the forest floor surrounded by the dead bodies and the blood that pooled around them as the ground slowly soaked in it. Not how he pictured how his day would go. He sighed staring up at the sky watching as the blue sky turned to a dusk color pink and orange then dark as the moon and stars started to shine. No one seemed to have come looking for him. How could he have thought things through differently. Maybe there was a way to try and reach her to reconnect with her somehow. But, if all his efforts up until now didn't work, why would something different suddenly make things better for him? Did he do something to really piss the gods off to hate him this much?

Thinking back on how everything went he couldn't really think of a time that he had done something so horrible to have resulted in this outcome. If he still had a body he would have been rubbing his head at his temples. Just to add to his misery he could start to feel rain drops falling on him. "Just my luck." A heavy sigh released from his lips. "I'm going to sit here and rust for the rest of my life…however long that'll be." Since he was a sword, did that mean he would live forever until someone melted him down?

The only sounds that came from the forest were the drip drop pitter patter tink tink sounds of rain falling. That was until something finally stirred in the forest nearby. "Oh good, someone finally found me!" Or so he thought. It was merely a white deer and stag. "Ugh, you're not going to be of any help to me…"

Rakuhoshi was ready to throw in the towel before a bright light flashed, effectively blinding him. When the light faded a soft feminine voice came from the light. "What foul creature thinks to defile my forest?"

"Quite grotesque if you ask me…" A semi feminine male voice came from the fading light as well. When the light faded completely, there stood two figures. They looked a lot like most of the people he met in this world so far. The pair were dressed all in white, even their hair was white. The only real distinguishing features to tell the pair apart was one had antlers and had pale red eyes while the other had greyish blue eyes. Maybe they were steel? They both had long flowing hair that any female would cherish and any male would want to run their hands through. Fair skin that looked soft to the touch. It was almost a sin to even gaze upon them, at least that was the feel they gave off. Purity in the simplest of forms.

The pair walked over the dead bodies and came to a stop next to him. "I think this is what caused this mess, dearest sister."

"What do you think it is? Some demonic weapon? A possessed weapon?"

"Who are you calling possessed?" Rakuhoshi snapped at the more feminine one.

"Why, you of course. Though, you seem quite different from all the others…"

"Quite indeed…" the male of the pair spoke, giving him a kick with his toe as if he was some gross garbage.

"Don't touch it. You could become tainted."

"Yeah, you wouldn't want to become defiled by my mere existence… it's not like I chose to become a sword…" Rakuhoshi spoke angrily at the pair.

"Uh-huh. And we are to believe this coming from you?" The male spoke again raising a brow down at him. The two turned and started to walk away.

"Wait! You're not going to leave me here, are you?" Rakuhoshi panicked. He didn't exactly want to go with them, but at the same time he didn't want to stay here either.

"Of course not. Do we look stupid to you?" The female asked, giving him a scorn look. A white glow surrounded him as he was lifted from the ground. The rest of the bodies and blood seemed to melt away into the forest floor as if nothing had happened here.
