Chapter 55 - Ideal

Vlohrir whimpered in pain. He crawled on the forest ground like a wounded animal crawling to its grave. The arrows were too much for him and they stung him everywhere. His legs and chest and hands. The only lucky part was none of the arrows hit him in the critical areas, and so he could live. But not for long, he knew that. it was just a matter of time, before he was dead. He knew that, yet he crawled for his life He used the last bit of strength to crawl away from the danger. And then

A light shone upon him.. A blue fading light from a craft. He looked up

A door opened and he saw two men standing next to the door. One taller man and one he assumed was a dwarf. The dwarf jumped from the top and landed on the ground, as the taller man stood there watching. The craft went away. A hand reached for him, and Vlohrir took it. He got up with the pain still intact. Hide yourself brother! said the voice. Vlohrir went and hid himself.

The Hylin advanced further ahead and Bam! a Hylin was shot by a silver bullet. She lay dead. The rest of the Hylin were shocked. They did not know what had happened. Again Bam! another Hylin went down. One after the other, The Hylin went down. The rest of the Hylin climbed up the trees of the forests and made a circle. "They made noises like birds" that meant something only they knew. Thronir stood there in the middle, as he stroked his beard. He grinned without fear and turned his head to the right. He then put on his mask that Seronn had given to him. The Hylin surrounded him, but they could not see where he was. His eyes were open but were hidden under the mask. They could not see it! He shot one Hylin after another, and they immediately shot the fire arrows one after the other. Thronir carried Vlohrir who was unconscious by now and ran deep into the forests. The Hylin chased them for a while, but eventually gave up after the threat of their death loomed large. At the end of the forest, Seronn waited for them in his craft!

Thronir carried Vlohrir into the craft, some of the warriors of Seronn took the ailing dwarf and took him in. The lights of the craft were broken and a bluish spectrum of light echoed across the craft. One half of Thronir's face was covered in darkness and the other in bluish tinge. His face was covered in furor and when he twitched his eyebrows, even Seronn was scared. Here, came forward a warrior who came with an axe and handed it over to him. The axe was was sharpened like a spike with three long and sharp edges and was made of silver. Thronir picked it up and analyzed it. Seronn took a few steps back as the energy that came from Thronir was beyond comparable. There was a reptilian snake that hung in the craft and in just that moment, it came and swirled around his neck. Thronir turned to Seronn. " I have some work here" he said to him. Seronn nodded as Thronir stepped out of the craft. " Make sure he lives" he told to Seronn.

Thronir stepped out to his planet and there was the flames still hanging on the trees, he passed each flame and the flames extinguished themselves as he did so. The craft flew up in the air and Seronn looked down, as the flames extinguished themselves one after the other. The last part of the flames resembled that of a large snakes mouth that was kept open as Thronir walked through it.

The warrior came to Seronn. The dwarf will live, he said to him. I know, replied Seronn!
