Soul sacrifice. Fate's defiler
Chapter. 1
As the sun set behind a mountain range a village at it's base was under attack. Monsters destroying anything in their way as they gathered and fed on the living.
In the middle of the chaos four knights in chain mail armor tried to save whoever they could.
"Over here!" One of the knights found survivors barracked in a cottage. Two knights started prying the door open while the third was cutting it down with an axe.
The fourth knight drew his sword and axe as a large rat like creature found them. "Goblin!" The other knights stopped and drew their weapons.
The goblin charged one of the knights. When it opened it's mouth the knight lunged his sword into the goblin's upper jaw, piecing it's brain.
"Okay we have time." Just then a monster resembling an overweight cat broke through the cottage wall.
"Damn orcs." A knight with a halberd thrusted his weapon through the monster's skull. the orc let go of the woman it was dragging out of the cottage, another knight struke the monster's head with his axe to make sure it was dead.
The other knights looked inside to see a little boy. A knight stepped inside with his hand out. "Come on, don't be scared. We're gonna get you of here."
The child shook his head no. The woman stood by the knight and did the same. "Come on sweety. These people are here to help us." the child slowly stood up and ran to his mother. The knight rested his hand on her back and lead them out.
A horn was heard through out the village. "That's the signal, we must retreat!"
"We'll reach the south gate if we go straight through the village."
"Just hope the archers are awake."
The knights and citizens rushed through the burning village. Other knights were fighting off monsters while trying to retreat.
Two goblins climbed down a four story building, halting the groups path. Two knights threw their axes, one landed in the goblin's head and split it's skull. The other knight's axe missed and hit the goblin's arm.
"I got it!" The knight drew his sword and charged. The goblin swung it's arm to slash with it's claws. The knight cut off the monster's arm then impaled his sword into the monster's head. The knight grabbed his axe then kicked the goblin down to get his weapons loose.
The building collapsed and spilled into the road. The group had to fall back while the lone knight pushed on to evade the rubble.
"Remus!" One of the knights called out.
"I'm fine!" The lone knight shouted back. three orcs came through a store front and brought down the building. "I'm gonna keep the monsters busy, all of you find a way around!"
The knights put their right fist over their hearts. "Fight well!" The group took off to find another way out.
Remus dropped his weapons and took off his helmet, revealing a man in his mid twenties with black hair and brown eyes. "You never say the rest, do you?" Remus took off his right gauntlet. "Fight well and die with honor. Though I have no intention of dying tonight." Remus dropped his gauntlet, electricity sparked off his arm. "Come on! I got better things to do then play with some cats!"
The first orc leaped at Remus. The knight's arm grew three times larger and crackled with lightning. With the new arm Remus punched the orc, forcing it to crash to the ground.
One of the other orcs spit black ooze at Remus but only hit the downed orc. Remus formed a sphere of lightning in his hand and threw it at the orc. With the monster dead Remus summoned five spear engulfed in flames.
The spears flew and impaled the orc. Remus created some more fire spears and fired them at the same orc for the kill. The third orc ran to one of it's fallen brethren and started eating it.
"Disgusting creatures." Remus held his hands together and formed an orb of ice, the knight under swung his arm and let the ice go. A trail of ice traveled to the feeding orc and ice jetted out, stabbing the beast.
Goblins climbed over the rubble, the first one jumped into the street with another right behind. Remus' magic covered his body in stone and is right arm turned into a stone giant's. The knight punched the first goblin then tackled the next, he raised his fist and crushed the goblin under him.
The goblin stood and retaliated, The stone on Remus's body gathered in front of him and formed a shield. Remus bashed the incoming goblin then threw a fire mortar to finish the monster. Another goblin arrived and immediately attacked.
Remus created a fire arm and backhanded the goblin then grabbed the goblin by the neck and straggled the beast. Remus sighed in relief when another orc appeared, three times larger them the ones before.
The orc opened it's mouth and inhaled to create a vacuum to devour Remus. The knight walked backwards but was still being pulled in. "Chew on this!" Remus threw a thunder mortar into the orc's mouth, the monster ate the mortar then cried in pain.
Remus summoned an ice sword and rapidly slashed the orc, killing the beast. "Anyone else?!" Remus dispelled his ice sword and looked around. Without any monsters Remus retrieved his equipment, as he picked up his gauntlet bones rose up from the earth. The bones combined and formed two malformed humanized creatures.
"What are those?" Remus tossed his gauntlet down. The knight punched the ground and a huge stone fist broke through the earth. The creatures were scattered around the street, the started moving and reforming.
"What the?" Remus held out his right arm, which formed into a dragon's head breathed fire on to the mutant skeletons. The fire melted the abominations. Remus' arm reverted to normal. "Never seen those before."
More mutilated skeletons broke through the earth, all surrounding the knight. Remus charged his arm with lightning then held it up in the air. "Back off!" Thunder sprayed out of Remus' hand and melted the monsters. "Okay, anyone else?!" Eight more bone creatures emerged from the ground. "Fine I'll stop asking."
Remus conjured a fire axe and slashed at the first. The fire weapon burned through the monster, another one grabbed Remus' right arm and a third grabbed the knight's left. Remus let go of his axe and changed his arm into a thunder giant's.
The electricity shocked the monster, it let go of Remus and he punched the third creature then the second one. As the other five monsters charged at Remus. Remus formed fire armor and punched one of the bone creatures in another. With some space between him and the beasts Remus summoned fire spears and hit each of his opponents.
The monster started melting from the spears, Remus threw a fire mortar and finished them off. "Done." Remus took a deep breath. "Time to go."
As Remus walked down the road a man in a grey rode appeared before him. The left side of the man's was covered in eyes, as well as his right arm. "And you are?" The man walked towards Remus. "Stay where you are!" lightning formed in Remus' hand. He threw the thunder at the man, a black barrier rose up and protected the man.
Remus summoned ice spears and launched them. The barrier remained and stopped the attack.
The man teleported to Remus and grabbed him by his armor then electrocuted him. Remus lost consciousness and fell to the ground. The man picked up Remus and warped away.
