Warcry

Brocton blocked the shadow's attack and he strongly swung his sword to push the shadow back. When moonlight shined on to the shadow's face Brocton was surprised to see it is one of his guard's faces.

"This face is so good I'm starting to like it" The shadow smiled and a long tongue came out of its mouth licking the cheeks of its face.

Brocton became furious; the enemy is mocking one of his soldiers after it killed him. Brocton then charges in and swung his sword hitting the ground after the shadow easily dodged it.

"You move so slow for someone who is a captain of these soldiers."

"No wonder they are all so puny and weak just like you"

Shadow charges in so fast that he literally became a shadow he attacked Brocton aiming for his neck but Brocton was able to dodge it the attack landed on his shoulders injuring him badly. Arunna and Kaleena went out of their tents; they see the bloody campsite and the corpses of the dead soldiers lying around. Arunna and Kaleena are in a shocking state, the shadow notices them and rushes in to attack Kaleena but Brocton jumped in the block shadows way.

"It won't happen again; I will never let you touch them."

"Oh you are becoming fast dear captain" shadow jokingly answered

Brocton whispered to the ladies that they should head to Lord Ulric's tent and wake him up; they should get out of here while they still have a chance.

"What about you Brocton?" Arunna asked

"I'll be fine my lady, I will buy you as much time as you need I need to hold this thing here. Go now!"

Arunna and Kaleena ran to their father's tent and saw Lord Ulric on his knees, he has a huge cut in his belly and he is bleeding so much. Arunna and Kaleena went to him.

"What happened, father?" Arunna asked

"That thing got here without making a sound I was caught off guard, before that thing attempted to kill me I think it sensed Brocton's presence and it went after him."

"Don't talk too much father, I will stop the bleeding father" Kaleena said

"You ladies should go ahead and make a run for it I will just hold you back if I come with you, go to the city and go to a pub I am sure there are Mercs there and ask them for help immediately."

"We cannot leave you here father Kaleena will stop the bleeding I will help you get up and we will make a run for it, Brocton is doing all he can to stop the monster."

Arunna helped his father up and grabbed his sword beside his bed they went out of the tent and there Brocton and the Shadow are still fighting fiercely. Kaleena brings the horses and they rode out of the campsite. Arunna looked back at Brocton to see him one more time.

"Don't die Brocton make sure you come back to us alive!" Arunna shouted

Brocton smiled for the first time

"Finally I can release my inner beast inside of me, are you ready?" Brocton said

The shadow smiled

"It looks like you will be able to entertain me more, Captain."

Brocton looked at his shoulder

"This is no good I lost too much blood I will not be able to make it, at least I will be able to use that thing" Brocton whispered in his mind.

Brocton shouted, and then suddenly a red vapor is being released across his body, a war cry a final shout of a warrior for his final battle. Shadow smiled and looked impressed

"I can't believe I will be seeing a war cry here in this lonely forest."

Brocton charges in

The shadow was shocked because Brocton's movement speed increased to a different level. But the shadow is still faster than Brocton, Brocton then swung his sword and the shadow dodged it, the sword hit the ground leaving a huge hole in it.

"If I was hit by that I don't know If I would still be alive."

"You sure are pretty good, Captain."

Brocton then charges in again but this time the shadow stood still and looked at Brocton then smiled.

The shadow whispered "Endless Nightmare"

Brocton is covered in the darkness he can't see anything then a series of slashes covered Brocton. When the darkness banishes Brocton is on his knees full of cuts in his body the blood is overflowing, the shadow slowly walks up to him.

"I really did have some fun, I thank you for that" the shadow stated

"Will you tell me now who you are?" Brocton asked

"You sure talk a lot for someone dead." The shadow replied with a smile and then quickly beheaded Brocton.

Arunna, Kaleena, and Lord Ulric are getting closer to the city they can already see the city gates from afar.

"Just hang in there father we are already getting close" Arunna said

The shadow suddenly appeared, it already caught up to them in just a nick of time, and it is already behind them. The shadow saw Kaleena riding on the other horse alone it quickly rushed in to attack Kaleena from behind, Lord Ulric grabbed his sword from Arunna and jumped out of the horse to block the attack. Arunna and Kaleena stopped the horse to check on their father.

"Go! Don't look back I will stop this thing here, go ride! Save yourselves!" Lord Ulric Shouted

"No father! We will not leave you here!" Arunna shouted

"It's okay ladies I will have the battle of my life right here and now."

"How long has it been since I held my sword, it sure brings back memories" Lord Ulric smiled

"Go now! Go to the city!"

Arunna grabbed Kaleena from the other horse they ride out leaving the other horse for their father.

"You must come back to us father, you must defeat that thing and show them how proud clan Phairus is." Kaleena shouted

Lord Ulric then smiled and whispered, "Go have fun and see the other side of the world, my dear daughters."

"I Lord Ulric of clan Phairus will punish you for the crimes you commit."

The shadow smiled and attacked Lord Ulric the two clashed swords.

Arunna and Kaleena have entered the city they hurriedly went to the pub to talk to Mercs, when they enter there is a lot of people there drinking and eating. It is a huge pub with wooden tables and chairs, a huge bar where other people sit and drink. A piece of music playing and people singing, it is a lively bar.

"Help us! Our caravan is attacked by an unknown figure we need your help!" Kaleena shouted

The pub suddenly went into silence and the people who are drinking and eating stopped and stared at the two young ladies.

"An Unknown figure? How can we help if you don't even know what attacked you?" A Merc sitting at the bar said.

Suddenly the whole pub burst into laughter, laughing at the two ladies. The two ladies were surprised at how the Mercs reacted to their request.

"My father is currently fighting the enemy please help him we will pay as much as you want." Arunna said

"Young lady we want to help you but the mercs job is not that easy we don't even know if your father is still alive, how we can help someone dead"

"You bastard! You are a coward!" Arunna shouted while walking towards the Merc

Kaleena held her sister back

"Stop sister we can't do anything they don't want to help us let's just leave and ask somewhere else."

The sisters went out of the pub when suddenly they heard a voice

"Well, maybe I can help you ladies" A small smiling old man holding a wooden stick with both hands in front of him appeared.
