SHADOW WARS:OLD WAR

Staring out the window as the rain pattered down on it wildly,I was thinking about the recent events of the past few weeks.There had been a significant rise in the action of reanimated as well as other supernatural beings.Feeling my girlfriend Ari's head on my shoulder relaxed me a little.I'd been out hunting down a rogue reanimated the night before.In case you didn't know reanimated are basically dead people who've been brought back to life as servants of the living but can also live their own lives if the summoner wishes it.Don't get them confused with zombies.Those guys don't retain any senses or memories of things from their past.All they know is one single thing.
Death.
Zombies just kill and kill without thinking.They are literally slaves from the moment their ressurected.Like robots they are told what to do and they can out carry out one task until they die.Put simply if a zombie is told to kill as it's first order its going to keep killing till it dies.It can't change its directives.
Funny enough though zombies and reanimated don't get along at all.They can kill each other on sight without the slightest hesitation or provocation.I mean. I've heard stories where zombies have totally forgotten to kill their targets just to kill a reanimated that's also around at the time.Also reanimated aren't rotten like zombies.There flesh is intact like a normal person and they can experience like functions and even reproduce with a human though they've been ressurected.
Zombies however can't reproduce and are as rotten as any other long dead corpse.They wreak horribly and look just as horrifying as in the movies.Naturally it takes up alot of manna to ressurect a reanimated but it takes less manna to ressurect a zombie.
As I was saying earlier I was hunting down a reanimated who raped it's summoner since she forgot to use a contract which bounds the reanimated to an oath which prevents him or her from disobeying the summoner in any way possible.When I asked her why she did that she said she wanted to know what was on the other side of death.Well not only did she not get her answer she got raped to.I was chasing him across the roof tops of buildings in downtown.We were passing by luken asylum and penitentiary when I sensed the most sinister presence that I'd ever felt.It hit me so hard that it gave the reanimated a chance to get the jump on me by doubling back around a nearby sign board.He pinned me back first to the ground and tried to choke me to death.I managed to grab my dagger from my side pocket since my katana,Blood moon,had slid away when I fell.I drove the dagger into its side though I should've gone for his neck.Howling like a wolf caught in a trap he leaped off of me and pulled the dagger out.I got to my feet leaping at him with all my speed spinning around in mid air and landing a hard kick to his jaw sending him flying hard into the ground.In that moment I was on him my other dagger finding a home in the sweet part of his skull.He exploded into fiery ashes with a wild scream.My clothes got a little singed and I got burned a little but nothing serious.It was then that the sinister presence I'd felt earlier felt alot closer.Turning around slowly I saw a black cloaked man staring at me.The aura he was giving off was stifling and it was also full of murderous intent.I didnt need to be told to run.Whoever or whatever this guy or thing was i was seriously not ready to face off with it.As if the figure had read my mind he raised a pale hand and shot a fire ball at me.Using a defense spell, iron wall I was able to block it but the force of the impact blew me away hard. I cried out as I was sent flying away.I fell hard but I didn't wait to check for anything.I threw my dagger into the night air disappearing after it as another attack this time a barrage of ice spikes hitting the ground where I'd been one second ago.My heart missed a beat as I reappeared mid air.
Turning my head to peek behind me for a quick second I gasped as the man was right behind me...his green eyes devoid of any emotion.His fist was raised ready to strike using another, more enhanced iron wall to cover my arms as I crossed them over my chest to block he hit me so hard the force shattered the iron wall with ease and this time I was sent flying into a river.Blood oozed from my badly cut flesh and I had deduced I must've gone unconscious cause I woke up under a bridge on the river bank.Since it was still dark out I was guessing it was still night or probably Dawn.I was lucky I used a body enhancer spell to boost my bodies defense or I would've been dead.I made my way back to my home and just went to sleep after drying myself off.
Thinking about this it was a bit peeving to know that I was so close to dying then.I wasn't the sentimental or emotional type.Most of the time I had a stoic look on my face.I didnt usually think about death and though I was really skilled at my age of seventeen the fact that I had panicked yesterday night was annoying and downright pathetic.I had been trained by my old man and my mom who had both been hunters like me.They were the best duo ever? but they had both died when I was ten.They had been killed during a massive battle in the Arctic where some high level reanimated and other supernaturals had gathered for a show down and the word in the organization was that they had met a very powerful reanimated, who killed them both with a little difficulty since the massive surges of magical energy were spiking all over the place.Though at the end of it all they were both found impaled a few inches off the ground by iron spikes.Whoever had done it was long gone.But all in all I had had two objectives since that day I heard of their deaths.One to find the bastard who killed them and two to become as strong if not stronger than they ever could.That was my iron resolve and no one or thing was going to stop me.
No one.
