Ch.45 Duel for a blessing

We launched ourselves at each other clashing swords in the process. Within seconds he knocked me to the ground I rolled and got back up as fast as I could. He swung at me as soon as I was to my feet. I jumped backward dodging his attack.

I managed to get behind him and hit him but the sword bounced off the heavy armor he was wearing. He turned and swung knocking me back onto the floor. This happened a few more times. The final time he knocked me down I had major cuts and stab marks on my arms and torso.

Laying on the floor I sat up just as Darbuse neared me. "Any last words?" He said pointing the sword at me, I kept quiet. I looked up at him and a tear slipped from my eye. 'This is the end, where my journey ends.' I thought to myself.

"Hmph" Darbuse sighed and raised his sword for the kill. I looked into his eyes, the grey eyes of darkness showed followed by the message through telepathy. "Save me Myira, I am sorry, this power is too much for me to contain. Save us." The true Lord Darbuse said.

"I am sorry there is nothing I can do I am so weak." I said back to him.

"Myira, please forgive me." he said. The grey faded from his eyes and turned red. Swinging the sword down hard.

"MYIRA!!" Anyira screamed.

I put up my left arm in order to absorb some of the blow. I expected pain I knew it was coming. I looked up, nothing, Darbuse and everything around me was frozen in time.

"Myira." A weak voice whispered.

I looked around, was I dead? No I can't be. I looked around more.

"Come Myira." the voice said again.

I looked behind me. The woman from my dreams stood before me. Mieryia. She was beautiful. I stood up.

"Myira you are not yet strong enough to cleave him from the power that binds him." Mieryia said in a calm voice.

"We must become one again, I will grant you my power."

I looked her and nodded.

She held up her hands in the shape of a triangle. "I Mieryia Voulbond, grant Myira the true power of shadow. May it help her on her journey to defeat my mistakes." As she finished, purple and blue symbols of Shadow appeared on her hands. They twisted together as one and at full force shot towards me.

I held up my hands in fear. The power rushed into me. Every second I began to feel stronger. I looked down at my hands, the same symbols appeared on my hands and quickly faded, I moved my hands a full outfit had appeared on my body. It had black ripped jeans like pants chains on the side, one-inch black boots, a black full cover shirt with no sleeves, and black gloves with finger holes.

I looked at my hair blue streaks now complemented the purple ones in my hair.

"You will now be able to stop him." Mieryia said with tears in her eyes. "When Aveegoh is cleaved I will be no more. Please send him home to realm of Shadows." she said smiling sadly.

She began to fade.

"Wait I need answers!" I managed to yell.

"Only time will tell you." She said fading entirely. I was back on the floor with Darbuse's sword right above me. Time Unfroze and a deep purple light came off my body and knocked everyone to the ground. Purple faded form my vision and I looked at Darbuse who trembled in fear.

I stood up, I knew what had to be done...
