„We need to rest to work, work to rest "
Aries was somehow conscious , still, after his little overkill.
Even after the shocking therapy, sleep and rest were needed.
~whyyyyyyyyyyy cant we just go to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep~ his mind was just as tired as his body.
But there was trouble apparently.
-By the way what happened when I was …..doing whatever I did. –
-Reinforcements came to help you. And now we help them. – Damon answered shortly.
-Great. Please tell me we can go to bed soon, i`m tired as hell –
-No. there`s something here, we can`t leave till we find it. –
Elandra stopped running and picked up her bow again.
Damon cracked his knuckles, raising some sparks.
Aries drew his blade again, and again it was bigger then it should be.
And what they saw was …. Interesting.
Interesting being Deuce throwing playing cards all around him.
Roland blindly striking the ground around him.
And a lot of dead trolls.
And a singular skeleton soldier.
-ummm... what? – Aries asked the rest.
-Honestly….not sure – Damon answered.
Why the paladin, who was supposed to be the embodiment of light, was a mad beast.
And the mysterious hat adventurer was throwing cards around.
That is the good question.
-DON'T
-Illusions probably – Elandra said after a quick look.
-Even if, what made it. –Damon followed up with questioning.
-If I were to take a shot, that guy – Aries pointed at the skeleton.
And to be fair, it wasn`t a normal skeleton either.
Bigger, weird bone colour, ragged clothes. Definitely not normal skeletal structure.
And he had a weapon, an old wooden scythe, with a black blade.
-I think we were actually here to find this –
-Great, let`s just get it and leave –Damon went for the weapon.
-I SAID DON`T COME CLOSER. – Deuce threw his ace of hearts straight into Damon.
And, as excpected, it wasn`t a light touch, but rather a solid punch into his guts, blowing him away.
~Wow. I mean… I knew it wasn't just a playing card….but wow….not this hard ~
Skeleton in ragged cloth, poor armor still stood there, watching the situation unfold before him.
-ARIEEEES! – Damon shouted, as he laid bashed into the tree.
-Yea yea, I got this. – and Aries proceeded to do exactly the same thing.
But he was ready for the defence of his fellow men.
And instead of walking , running. Probably what Damon should do too ,but who can blame him.
Hatman and paladin both instantly showed fear on their faces.
Not the time to wonder what illusions they saw, but one thing was sure.
Aries wasn't Aries in their eyes, but something they had to kill, they MUST kill.
-No offence guys – and Aries just tried to dodge anything they threw at him.
Cards, swords, pieces of armor for some reason, rocks…. Anything.
And just sprint for the skeleton.
-GET BACK HERE YOU FUCKING MONSTER- Roland , now missing a few kilos of metal, was fast.
And he threw himself on Aries. Weird, how he now didn`t want to kill him, but sure. Why not.
-oh no you don`t – Elandra shot , finally, and hit him in the helmet`s back side. Not killing him, but hurting for sure.
Deuce also joined in, but as the card thrower, he didn't have the mass for grappling.
And basically Aries swooped his sword into his face, leaving him meters away.
Skeleton in the meantime – did nothing.
ARIES. THIS IS NOT GOOD.
~whaaat? Everything is going great, what are you talking about ~
Shame, because when he snapped back to reality, the skeleton head was right in his face.
