Chapter 4 - The Path (pt.2)

The moment Eligot realized what was happening, he jumped at the figure trying to stop it, but the figure lets go of Amy and dodges. Amy falls to the ground still breathing but badly injured, as Eligot pulls his rapier out and points it at the figure, "Who are you, state your name and reason for being here NOW!" Eligot said furiously. The figure without even making a sound, dashes at Eligot slamming his head into a tree, Eligot groans in pain as the figure is still holding his head against a tree, but he uses his rapier cutting the figure on the chest, making it drop him. "Damn it i still haven't recovered from the first use but i wont survive like this!" Eligot said as the red runic writing appears on his rapier again and right after it appears on his hand again too. The figure immediately jumps at Eligot trying to stop him, but Eligot dodges and tries to strike the figure but the figure catches the rapier, "Mana Shot" says Eligot as the red ball appears on top of his sword the figure jumps back to try and dodge but the ball grazes the figures arm. "Yes, Finally an actual challenge" The figure speaks in an excited tone, its voice sounds like one of a young male. "What is your name? Tell me now!" The figure asks excitedly, "My name is Eligot will you tell me your name now?" Eligot asked, "My name is Rosier, now show me more Eligot show me your true power!" Rosier answered excitedly. Eligot dashes to Rosier, stabbing him in the stomach, but Rosier kicks Eligot away and then runic writing begins appearing on Rosiers legs, "What you are a runebone too?" Eligot asked "Indeed!" Answered Rosier with a huge grin on his face. Before Eligot can say anything in less than a blink of an eye Rosier was in front of him kicking him up into the air, then again at the same speed he jumps into the sky kicking Eligot back into the ground. Eligot lands and coughs up blood "Ha Ha that hit was pretty rough on you huh!" Said Rosier as he landed, "It may have been rough but not as rough as what you're about to experience Mana Shot" as Eligot unleashes another mana shot at Rosier, in less than a blink of an eye rosier is right in front of him, and he kicks Eligot again, this time Eligot hits a tree and isn't getting up, "Aww this is the most you can do, i guess i should finish you off" Rosier says this time his grin is even wider, as Rosier dashes toward Eligot his grin quickly dissapears as he sees Eligot holding his rapier pointed at him with the red ball being bigger than before "heh i never shot it out Dipshit, Mana Shot!" Eligot said as he unleashed a Mana Shot stronger than ever before and as big as an elephant, Rosier tries to dodge but due to the sheer size of the shot he is unsuccsesful, but Rosier puts his left arm out allowing himself to survive at the cost of his arm, "Heh we'll call it a stalemate" Says Rosier as he falls to the ground barely breathing, "hah good fight" answers Eligot as his consciousness slips away,

*a few hours pass*.

Eligot awakens in a tent, and he sees bandages on his body, and hears Amy say with a relieved voice "oh good you're awake."

Eligot tries to stand up but is unable to, "whoa slow down idiot did you really think you could just stand up after sustaining such an injury" Amy says "h-huh but my injuries weren't that severe" Eligot answered, "You broke 2 ribs and caused some damage to your lungs i'd say thats pretty severe" Amy said visibly annoyed by Eligots cluelessness, "what about your injuries?" Eligot asked worriedly, "I was just kncked out for a while nothing too bad" Amy answered, "What about Rosier" Eligot asked, "he is sitting outside waiting for you to wake up, i tried to make him go away but he stole my bow and told me he won't give it back untill he sees you again" Amy answered, as Rosier enters the tent Eligot gets a good look at him, he is a young man who looks like he is about 20 with white hair, red eyes and a huge scar on his chest,"so you're awake Eligot, I never had a better fight before, this woman told me where you are headed and i must say, i want to join you on your journey" Rosier said excitedly "huh i see your arm is in bandages, but sadly you cant join us for the tournament since you don't have an applicant waver" Eligot said confidently, "Um, actaully remember the old man who gave us the wavers, yeah i took a spare from him when we left and i gave it to Rosier" Amy said innocently, "yes i have the waver so now let me join you" Rosier said excitedly, "oh then i guess you can join us welcome to the group" Eligot said happily, "um, can i have my bow back though?" Asked Amy, "yes i will give you your bow back as a sign of friendship woman" Rosier said very confidently, "Could you please just call me Amy?, Woman is a bit too rough." Amy asked as she took her bow back "No, You have to earn your name" answered Rosier with a smirk, " Why you little!" As Amy was yelling at Rosier, Eligot was having a good laugh
