Chapter 9 - Chapter 8

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

-Until you recognize traitors- Sahr smile was a cruel one. She flexed her legs and shot directly to Mark and Rubeos.

-Wait, we can discuss this- Rubeos tried to stop her, but it was too late Sahr was already in front of him. Sahr's leg was already in the air rapidly approaching his left side. The kick connected, Rubeos arm broke on impact along with some of his rive. Rubeos was thrown to the side like a rag doll. Sahr continued advancing towards Mark who materialized to axes and embrace himself.

Sahr smirked, with a kick broke one of Mark's knees. Mark started to fall. Sahr grabbed him of the wrist and with a simple twist broke it. With half a Sahr throw Mark against a Palm tree that broke without stopping him, Mark hit some more palm trees before coming to rest against next to where was sitting Lith.

Lith was pale, he looked at Mark and back at Rubeos, he couldn't process what was happening. His brain was a white noise machine. Lith was still trying to process what was happening but the situation was deteriorating faster and faster. He looked towards Mark who was trying to stand up. Lith's vision started to blur, he hadn't realized but he was crying. Another sound was heard as Rubeos landed next to Mark. Looking as to where he was thrown from some broken palm trees could be seen, behind all that the imposing figure of Sahr walking towards them. In her hand rested a cleaver knife, she no longer had a smile on her face. Not waiting for anyone's reaction Sahr threw the cleaver knife. The knife shine under the moonlight before one of the presents could appreciate the beauty of the throw. It had already ended. Blood flew hitting Lith's face. The knife had hit Mark's right shoulder detaching his right arm to continue on its way halting after hitting the sand and being buried in it.

With a frown, Sahr made her way to them. Mark was pressing his shoulder to stop the bleeding. Rubeos had both arms broken his armor was starting to dissipate. The smell of blood and gore in the air permeated the encampment. Lith's brain was still trying to process the situation the first to react was his gut he vomited it was his first time seeing such carnage. He vomited way after having his stomach empty.

Sahr arrived and sat down on the sand opposite too the three. She picked a stick a threw it to the fire. She looked around and frown.

-Clean the encampment- Sahr said to Lith, but after she saw the face of being completely lost that Lith had, she shook her head- See that fire, she point it to one of the fires on the encampment, throw all the body parts to it, starting with that- while pointing to Mark's arms on the floor.- and make sure that the fire doesn't die down.

Lith gulped down and with trembling hands picked Mark's arm.

-Faster kid, we don't have all night.-

With no more options, and with his mind completely overwhelmed Lith pick the arm up and went to the fire he was pointed at, with weak steps he made his way there and threw on the fire which responded with a crackle before it started to burn the clothes around the arm. He slowly started to make his way to the tent that had the body of the black-hooded man. Around 3/4 of the camp was dead. After a few minutes, more people were helping with the clean-up.

Mark had picked what was left on the cleave knife and after hitting it on the fire, he had used it to cauterize his shoulder. Sahr hadn't stopped him, but she didn't say any other word, since she had ordered Lith.

****

On a diferent plain of existance.

-Is there anything you can do- Unlimited asked

-No, and being honest if I was in her place those two would be dead and the kid would have lost you- a different voice responded.-If you want to know the details make your little kid find out.-

Unlimited shudder, he knew that when the voice said that Lith would have lost him, he meant that he would have been absorbed. This was Sahr's blessing and Unlimited older brother Mondaha. Every ten thousand years or so they would meet, their destiny was entangled. It all went down that Mondaha had chosen to convert into a blessing to save Unlimited. Mondaha users could steal other people's blessings and these stolen blessings were absorbed into Mondaha. In these few eons, nobody knew how many blessings had Mondaha absorbed.

-Seven years may not be much time to us, but it is a lot of time for a kid- Unlimited tried to insist- couldn't we make something out of it.

-Look, this situation is worth more than what you think it is not a coincidence there a conflict here. These mortals did betray Sahr and destroy her family.- after a short pause Mondaha continued- even if I said something, which I won't, it still depends on Sahr. It's already a miracle that they are alive and with their blessings intact. You know full well that while I don't share the blessings my previous users have absorbed, she has full access and decision in which to absorbed.
