A weakened Xiar and a still unconscious Luna left the house and headed for the river bank in the valley as they hobble ran into the valley forest the stench of blood and smoke filled the low night air but unannounced to them they were being followed by Unmourned Riders.
Back at the fight between Zarophin and the Unmourned... The Unmourned broke free of its paralysis and began to rapidly click as more Unmourned began to materialize into the house.
"Oh for fucks sake it's too many bodies in here how about we get some air. Besides I've got lamb waiting in the pot plus I'm extremely pissed that my little sister didn't get to eat." I jumped in the air and kicked the Unmourned in front of me through the wall and I stepped out and looked at the stars. "Nothing beats a crisp starry night like this. Don't ya'll agree?" The Unmourned began to click in between one and other they quickly all dashed at me all at once. I stabbed one in its core and began to somehow overload it with my strange power and it began to melt.
One of the other Unmourned on my side tackled me that's when another Unmourned followed up with a knee to my ribs causing a few to fracture and one to break. I went flying up in the air and the other Unmourned appeared atop of me and knocked me back down to the ground I coughed up blood as I slammed back into the ground causing a crater. "Ah shit that hurt bastards." I turned to see the one I stabbed had not only melted but turned to mercury. (Could this be my ether power? What if what Xiar and that Unmourned was saying was actually true I need to know more. I have to see if I can absorb that molten mercury to heal myself.)
I began to crawl over to heated molted mercury but that's when one of the Unmourned stabbed me in the leg I cried out in pain. "Child foolish are you. You have power but lack the training to put up a decent fight against us." "Damn, I don't know what's more annoying ya'll's clicking back and forth between each other or the broken backwards English you all are speaking." "Humor at your last moments? Strange it is. Humans most life they beg for but different you are. Your sister make a great slave she will or death will she face?" That's when something in me flipped and I began to grit my teeth and I exploded in a protective rage. "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY SISTER!"
