Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 3 /PART 2/

Light shone from behind indicating that they were done and there was enough space for people to come through. A man with only one lower knee pushed through the crowd to be the first to leave but an arrow was shot directly into his only calve and was forced onto the floor, "You can't leave so don't bother trying" her voice echoed across the room, and someone did the unexpected. A guard jumped on her and with that, people ran towards the opening; the 2 guards with her were beating the guy that jumped on her, so they didn't bother about the people running. "Follow them!" the woman screamed, and the 2 guards were gone.1The castle erupted into flames as soon as all of them left the tower. Most people ran into the town much to Ryan's thoughts on where they should run to. The sight of the town was terrible, the lifeless bodies of the masses laid in a heap and on top of them was the same woman. "We told you, you can't escape", she announced and behind the huge heap of people; an army arose, her army rose. Rows and rows of people dressed in her theme stood tall with crossbows, swords and shields, "ATTACK!", that was screamed by the woman commanding, and the army raised up their weapons before running towards the people of the Bragi territory.1The guards stood tall and held their swords strong as most of them clashed with one or two of the opponents at the same time. Louis moved forwards to summon his sword but stopped when he felt a tight hold on his shoulders, "I'll fight with you until the end." Louis smiled at his comment from Ryan and then looked back to look at Sheelah, she nodded and smiled. The three of them stepped up, Louis dragged his sword on the ground and once behind a member of the opposing team swung it fast across their neck; the head rolled on the ground and Louis smiled as the body without a head collapsed to the floor. "That is just the beginning," he whispered and ran off into the battlefield. Looking to the left you would see Ryan attacking people with two swords in both arms, Sheelah was beside him and her magic was in motion. She threw up fire, weird but useful. Louis continued to attack people left and right, stabbing people in the chest and using some of his fallen opponents to propel himself in the air for a greater attack.1The battle was almost finished and only about seven people were left from the Bragi territory including Sheelah, Ryan and Louis, the members of the territory leader families were standing way back watching from afar with 3 guards covering them. Louis had just stabbed the last opponent on the battlefield and shook his sword to get rid of the blood. Ryan pointed one of his swords at the woman on the pile, "Your army is gone and now it's seven against one. Surrender or face the consequences," the woman jumped down from the pile of dead people and a stare down stated between the eight of them on the battlefields. One of the shoulders beside Sheelah collapsed and no one seemed to know why until they looked at the woman again, she was no longer standing where she was before; she was now behind Louis, and he was alerted quickly by the spirit that lived within him, 'Louis, JUMP TO THE LEFT!' He jumped towards Ryan and stared at the enemy charging her unidentifiable magic, she smiled and disappeared once again. "She's not gone, I can still feel her presence. Keep your guard up!", Sheelah shouted, and everyone stood on a guard position while moving around slowly. The ground shook and two guards fell onto the floor throwing up blood until they gave up on their life, only one guard was left with Louis, Ryan and Sheelah. The woman appeared again and stomped the ground with her heel, the ground rumbled again but this time stronger than the last one, 'Louis, she is controlling something in the ground, get off the ground.' Braize said in a hurry and Louis worked with haste. "FLOAT!", he screamed quickly and grabbed Ryan, he ran towards higher ground while holding Ryan. He only turned back after he was safely on higher ground, Sheelah was floating with the last alive guard there was, "ARE YOU GUYS ALRIGHT?!," Ryan screamed. Sheelah threw a thumbs up at them and looked around as if looking for something, "Where is she?", the guard started looking too and his eyes fell on where the woman stood, he screamed, "She's near the county family." Ryan responded first by running towards them without a thought for the world and Louis followed behind him quickly, "RYAN, LOUIS! STAY BACK," their mother screamed as she saw them approaching and they both stopped abruptly. 1After that scream from their mother, a blade was pierced through her chest, and she fell with a thud to the ground; she laid on her stomach. The blood touched her dress and it continued to spread, *sniff* her children beside her started crying and her husband scoffed. Ryan noticed his father's action and he couldn't control it anymore, 'mother' he muttered, and he screamed the most gut-wrenching scream anyone had ever heard.1Ryan had been in a daze for the past day, he didn't speak or make a sound after what he had done. He continued thinking about it, the way he grabbed his father's neck and cut it off without a thought; his siblings' reaction: disgust, fear and no one except Louis was delighted. He remembered the crazy glint in his brothers' eyes before he passed out holding his scum fathers detached head. He continued staring until he saw a small bowl of food placed in front of him, "Louis...", Louis looked at his brother and sat down beside him, "Yes, brother," "Is what I did wrong.... Am I a ... monster for what I did?", Louis smiled at the boy asking him the question. "You're not a monster for anything, that was a clear trauma response. Instead of him to help our poor mother who was on the brink of dying, if not already dead, he decided to mock her death. Ryan, I can tell you that you're more of a human than me. Truthfully, if you're a monster then I'm a terrible bastard who never deserved to live." Louis chuckled at his last statement and then heard steps, Ryan heard the steps, and he tensed up. "Brother Ryan, you're okay!", the sound of
