Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Back in the encampment, Lith sat around a fire lost in his thoughts. The situation had escalated too fast out of control. Sahr saw him and came to sit with him. Lith look at her hate was in his eyes, he had all his life in front of him and know thanks to her, everything was going down.

People were moving around, more than one directed a look to Lith but none decide to get near to talk. The night was starting to get darker, and the smell of food started permit around the tents small talk and laugh could be heard around different campfires.

Lith was wondering what was going to happen to him. He looked at Sahr, and just when he was about to talk, she saw that Sahr frown. Something black came flying and hit one of the tents behind Sahr.

Sahr didn't even look at Lith and order.

-You stayed sited there- That was Sahr's first order to Lith.

On the point of impact, one could distinguish a mangled body, the first question that crosses Lith: is that the guy who went to look for my family? hope started rising in his heart. Maybe his parents could save him, he recalled the story about a Mark, this hateful woman would pay.

Silence reign over the tents, two figures could be seen walking to were encampment. The moon shined over the desert, making the two figures more ominous. Bloodlust could be felt in the air, the first to fall was on the tent. Lith's heart accelerated he was sure he was going to be free, no one could stop his fathers. He smirked and directed a look to Sahr. But she was giving him her back.

People from the encampment didn't wait for orders in no time a group was already in the direction of Mark and Rubeos. The first person to attack was a man who hit the air ice was shoot from the end of his hands. Rubeos smirked and a golden shield appeared in his left hand, over the shield a roaring lion was depicted, on the right hand a halberd appeared, follow by silver armor that covered his body, the helmet had the form of a lions head. Rubeos took a step forward his shield meet the ice that shattered upon contact, and the halberd swing down cutting in two the man with no resistance, blood didn't wait to start raining. Next to him, Mark was starting to run, in each hand, violets axes could be seen, fire was starting to rise around him without stopping one axe was thrown implanting itself into the head of one person with a strange position. The person fell and the fire stopped. Mark smiled and with a simple gesture the axe exploded, the group was decimated. A new axe was in Mark's hands.

Sahr didn't need to see anything else, she flexed her legs and shot directly to where the fight was happening. Before anyone could react she appeared next to Rubeos, her devilish smile could be seen from where Lith sat. Sahr took the axe from her back and with only one hand swing it against Rubeos who was able to raise his shield just in time. The double edge axe met the shield time seem to freeze, that edge of the axe shatter but it shield was disintegrated into golden powder while Rubeos was shot backward. Rubeos went through a dune before hitting a second one getting bury in it. The sound of an explosion came after.

Mark turn around, just in time to see Sahr throwing him the rest of her axe, he took one step to the side. But what he saw next made him pale, Sahr was advancing at him while she picked a body from the floor and throw it at Mark. Mark threw one of his axes to the body and hurriedly made the axe explode. Red mist could be seen where the body was supposed to be flying. The second body was thrown and Mark repeated his actions, but the third body never came.

-I'm right here- Sahr appeared next to Mark. He didn't have time to turn around her fist was already hitting him on his guts, Mark felt something inside him break. Blood came out with all the air in Mark's lungs. Sahr didn't wait and grave from the back and with half a turn she threw him against Rubeos who was standing up and had no other option than to catch mark.

The wind blew and brought the smell of blood and guts to Lith, who was shocked, petrified in his place. The change was too fast they were winning he was going to be able to go back, but now why were his parents the ones making efforts to stand up.

-You still don't recognize me don't you- Sahr's voice resounded in the silence of the night she was mad, she didn't wait for the answer and kicked a small shield that was in front of her. Rubeos reacted and use his halberd to deflect the shield, his hand numb at this point. He conjured a new shield this time the shield was in silver color.

-Sahr is that you?- the trembling voice of Mark sounded behind Rubeos, who lost all color from his face when he heard the question.
