Salvatio
Grisko and John were standing before the entrance to a giant dome, they saw graves and tombs.
"John, look at all these graves, uncountable, yet they seem to fit in this place, like a neatly tight gear in a clock. John, this place, where are we exactly?" Grisko was worried.
"You tell me, since i gave up, being an adventurous lad, for being a policemen, if my sister was still alive she would zoom through this place like a puppy"
As John and Grisko recalled how truly marry would do this, they both shuddered at the same time.
"Don't let me remember that, it brought us three so much trouble, just thinking about that one time we explored a underwater cave in aqua t'hal *sigh* i I still can't eat seafood" said Grisko.
"Mhm, I remember you used to love them" John giggled.
*sigh* "no more to that, how do we find them in here?" Asked Grisko.
"Hmm, I mean in my honest opinion..."
"Yeah in your honest opinion what John?"
"I too would run away if I saw you" John was laughing at Grisko, which ticked him off.
Grisko kicked John in the butt, which made John fall over.
"Ouch, ptui ptui! I swallowed dirt you grease bag!" Just as John was trying to stand up, he saw something which took his attention immediately.
He pulled Grisko closer, he wrapped one arm around his neck and pointed to the ground with his other arm.
"Grisko look!" John was ecstatic! "Footprints!" Grisko was positive surprised.
"Now we have a lead! " John said.
They followed slowly the trail, this time trying not to alert the children.
On their way they saw what the children saw, graves in all forms, statues in all kinds, weapons lying and more.
Suddenly Grisko stopped John with his hand.
"W-why whats wrong?" Asked John. "Look in front of you, the statue just moved" said slowly whispering to John.
John frowned "moved?" He asked skeptical. "Are you sure?" John wanted affirmation from Grisko.
"Mhm, im sure John, I think these statues are all alive" Grisko was frowning and slightly sweating.
"What do you suggest we do then? " John was looking left and right, looking more closely at his surroundings and started to prepare himself for battle.
"Hehehe, I thought my plans were full of shit?" Grisko smirked.
"Grisko this isn't the time for this" john said hushed.
Suddenly the statue moved, the statue in front of them moved.
The statue was nearly 2,5 m in height, it had golden armor, golden helmet, throat protection, a true ancient warrior, the stone came off as it revealed the pristine condition of a proud warriors armor. Its golden helmet visor had laurel on top, this warrior must have been noble. His red cape behind him was swaying in wind through his sheer presence. On his cape was his noble house, a Mountain. He held with his brightly shining gauntlets a Zweihänder, a Sword from the ancient time. He was just standing in front of them, but the pressure he emitted was no joke.
He took step for step, and for step for step you could hear his rustling armor. He halted just a few meters in front of them.
"I advise you, to go back, this one was bequeathed with the duty to keep harms way from this ones lord." Golden knight said. His voice showed neither submission nor disrespect.
"Y-you speak our language?" Asked Grisko.
"No, I do not, it is thanks to this places grace, I am able to converse with you" said the noble knight.
"What is this place? We mean no harm, we swear, we are just looking for two little children " said John.
"Hey John, you know how things sound right, if you speak them like this" said Grisko.
"S-shut up!" Said John flustered.
"I'm not obligated to tell you nor I want to, I shall ask again, will you now leave?" Said the golden knight.
"Hehe, mister golden knight, neither are we obligated to leave, so we wont, we have our own duty to fulfill!" Said Grisko.
"Well said Grisko!" John was praising Grisko.
"Hm, is that so, how unfortunate, truly unfortunate, for it seems you leave me no choice" the golden knight took his sword in two hands and pointed it at the sky, a golden aura wrapped around him like a coat, blessing him with holy power, giving him the strengh of a mountain.
"I A GOLDEN KNIGHT, FROM SANCTUM MONTEM AUREUM, WILL OBLIGE TO CARRY OUT MY DUTY!" As the golden knight said that, he pointed his Zweihänder at both of them. You could see red eyes glowing behind the golden helmet visor.
"Fuck! A knight from the holy golden mountain!" John was shocked.
"What?" Grisko couldn't understand why his friend was shocked.
"You don't understand, you just don't understand! He is a knight from THE holy mountain not just one Grisko! THE holy mountain!" John panicked.
Grisko looked even more confused.
"Grisko he is from mount sinai, where the ten commandments where created, the second law!" John tried explain it further which only confused Grisko more.
"So meaning?" Asked Grisko.
"Grisko, he is a divine knight, blessed by god..." John was already exhausted and the fight didn't even begin!
"You know, you could have just said that!" Grisko was going to the knight.
He was clasping his hands together, he drew them apart, light gathered like fire flies in a pearl moon night, he drew strength from his soul art, his soul weapon. A silver sword, it was long and reminded one of a typical medieval sword, his hair turned completely silver, sparks flew around, his silver aura was lightning bolting. He pointed with his sword at the golden knight and with his free hand, he combed his hair.
"Hey golden whatever knight, just because I talked nicely, doesn't mean you should underestimate us! John stay behind me, things are about to get ugly, im enough for him, save your energy for later, we don't know when and who, we have to beat their asses, am I right pal?"
John frowned, then gave a sigh, he crossed his arm and laughed.
"If I see you even a tiny bit struggling I will step in, immediately, got it?!" Said John.
"Hehe got it, you are just overprotective you big softie!" Grisko never took his eye's off the golden knight.
John took a few more steps back and sat on a nearby little Boulder next to a grave. He was ready to jump in anytime it seemed Grisko couldn't hold on any longer.
"COME" alled out Grisko to the golden knight from the holy mountain sinai.
The golden knight took something, behind his cape, with his left hand he took a giant shield. On the shield was a mountain, it was golden, with silver embroidery on the rough edges. In the silver embroidery where words inscribed, which Grisko couldn't encrypt. John saw the embedded words, he was astonished as he murmured.
"When God from Mount Seir marched in state,
And turned from Edom's lofty towers,
The earth shook, the heavens in thunders dropped,
The clouds poured down their rapid showers.
The mountains flamed, and melting flowed,
Nor could Jehovah's presence bear;
So Sinai unknown terrors felt,
When God was present there."
Like reflex the golden knight reacted to the words spoken. He immediately looked at John, his ember red like eyes, were fiercly staring at him.
"There is still someone who can read the ancient tongue..." the golden knight said, gripping his sword tighter, likewise his shield.
"The song of deborah..., its recount what happened on mount sinai" John was very nervous.
"Hey, hey dont ignore me!"
Grisko jumped as he held his sword with both his arm, it came down on the golden knights head.
The golden knight simply looked disinterested, he simply swatted him away with the shield!
Grisko flew to the side and broke few tombstones. This created a dust cloud.
"GRISKO!" John called out.
The golden knight took one step forward, then another one, the rustling of the armor was ever so slightly echoing through the dome, his cape was fluttering in the wind, every step brought the knight nearer to John.
Suddenly Grisko appeared from behind the knight, as the dust settled, you could see Grisko seeing still strong standing!
He drew his breath in, his sword was ready to arc, with his left hand he touched the back of the knight and as he drew the breath out, a silent electric impulse was wallowing through the knights body!
Electrical currents spread through his entire body like sea waves, which made the divine warrior stumble a few steps!
"Yo, John nothing to cry out yet, if somebody else had heard you they may have thought I was your lost lover" Grisko still looked at the knight as he turned his head sideways and spit a little bit of blood on the ground.
The knight turned around and threw his shield to Grisko with an absurd speed! It caught Grisko off!
'What!!
Grisko could still react to dodge as he jumped to the side on a statue like a cat.
The shield flew behind him and destroyed a giant Boulder.
Grisko used the statue as a jumping platform and his speed to his advantage. He drew his sword with the intent to cut of his enemies head!
The knight put his left arm in front of him which surprised Grisko.
'Wait, What? Recalling?!'
Grisko failed his attack as the knight summoned his shield back instantly, blocking Griskos attack!
Through the blocking from the knight, Griskos arm holding the sword got knocked back, stunning Grisko!
The knight didn't waste this opportunity to attack, he swung his right arm at Grisko!
Grisko was quick-witted enough and kicked midair with his right foot the pommel of the knights sword!
The sword through the force of the kick, went out the hand, it drew arcs in the air!
The knight wasn't fazed the slightest and simply gave Grisko a roundhouse kick!
Grisko was gasping, as he slid a few meters until he stopped.
The knight caught the sword and simply pointed it to Grisko!
Grisko scoffed at the knight.
The golden knight slowly pointed his sword upwards, he murmured slowly ancient words.
"Lumen colligentes i videre lucem"
Light particles gathered around the sword tip, slowly collecting, clustering around, mesmerizing golden divine power was formed.
The sword light formed a giant blade!
He swung downward towards Grisko!
Grisko looked at the incoming attack and gathered his power, he clad his whole sword in lightning, such terrifying lightning, even the air fizzled, he drew his sword back and pointed it directly at the golden knights heart. Like a spear, ready to pierce. Grisko was highly focused, this attack gave him a giant opportunity for a fatal opening, he only has to dodge!
The sword came slowly down with a pressure of mountains, the ground trembling, caving in, increasing the gravitational powers!
Suddenly Griskos eyes opened wide,why? Because the golden knight was halting the attack halfway, his body trembling!
Between the knight and Grisko, there found itself a small little dark silhouette, it was a child with fair golden hair, forest green like eyes, and it skin was neither light nor dark.
It wore an ancient noble clothing with a mountain crest brooch.
Grisko was hesitant to act, before john called out!
"GRISKO NOW, USE THIS CHANCE!"
Grisko took a step forward and instantly pierced the heart!
The lightning blossomed like a flower in the spring, it imploded through his body, his heart was no more. The light he collected through his divine power, dispersed, like fallen petals in autumn, it lost its shine, merely dim in its former glory.
The knight fell to his knees, using the sword as crutches, his eyes losing slowly the little life it still had, but never leaving the little child out of it sight.
"Ah... m'lord, I've let m'lord down, please find in your heart kindness to forgive this old servant...I couldn't protect you.., I couldn't protect you.." the knights voice full of grief lamented its own demise.
The child slowly walked towards the knight. Grisko tried to hold on to the child.
"Hey kid, wait-"
His hand went through nothing...
Grisko looked stunned at his hand then at the child.
The child was before the knight and simply held his hand out.
The golden knight was not believing what was happening. Until realization hit it.
"Ah..., now I see..so thats what happened, i didn't protect you.., you protected me, how truly undeserving am I of your salvation.."
The child just smiled at the knights silliness and was holding it hand out, patiently waiting.
The knight reached out, and held the small hand.
The body turning slowly to golden light, shedding the armor and revealing a mesmerizing goddess, fairly golden hair, green eyes, a small nose, kind eyes, her aura changed from prom pressure to lightlyness.
From nowhere a holy light shined, levitating them both, inviting them both.
With an angels voice she said to Grisko.
"תודה"
The small child pulled on the hand, so the once former knight, knew to bend down. The child whispered in her ears,which made her chuckle.
The knight nodded. The child ran to Grisko and whispered something in his ear, which made Grisko show a kind smile which is rare!
The child giggled and held the hand of his knight, through the light they went slowly fading.
John went to Grisko.
"Do you want to know what she said?" Asked john smug.
"No i don't think you have to, I just understand if I just see them"
John looked at Grisko, little surprised, but relieved.
'To think he can still smile like that'
Grisko looked at them until they faded away...
