The Scorcerer

Some hours later ...

The sun had risen again over the mountains that surrounded the small village.

The Swordsman was badly injured, and Kayo was tired because he had spent the night without sleep. Suddenly it was possible to hear many steps outside the place where they were 'staying'.

Kayo approaches the window and sees that there were many people around the body of the wolves, when suddenly one of the people there was shouting:

- NOOOO, CURSED! WHAT THEY DID?

- We're dead!

- It's our end!

All the people present there began to shout similar things, until one of those there looked up and saw Kayo.

- They're over there!

All the Civilians quickly approached the hostel where Kayo was, the civilians start breaking the door that was locked, when they finally break the door ...

- Stop it! - We saved you! The wolves are dead you can live in peace now, without being afraid.

- You, you bastard! What did you do! We will die because of you.

Everyone was very excited and Kayo could not protect himself against all those civilians and for a change the swordsman was very hurt.

Everything seemed to go wrong until.

- Wait, I have an idea. They killed the wolves so all we have to do is kill them and offer their bodies to the Scorcerer!

- He's right, if we do this he probably won't kill us!

- Yes, they are right!

It seemed that all civilians had agreed with that idea. but how could Kayo escape this situation? He is not emotional enough to think that he should not abandon the swordsman or that he should protect him. Kayo knew he couldn't do anything in that situation.

Then he analyzes the situation he was in, starts looking at all sides and analyzing all the possibilities. Slowly he started to move backwards, until when everyone was out of control he threw himself out the window, the fall was ugly.

After all, he had thrown himself from the second floor.

He is very hurt and tired, but quickly gets up and starts running desperately in search of some shelter outside the city...

- Damn it! He ran away, Get him!

Civilians started looking for him around the city. It stayed like that for hours, but they were not successful at all, without success they gave up.

Kayo approached the spot where the swordsman and civilians were and managed to see them carrying their friend out of the city. After seeing that scene he approached slowly while hiding from them.

Your enemies walk towards somewhere while they stand guard, watching everything around them.

Kayo is almost seen several times, but manages to follow them without much difficulty.

They enter a kind of hidden cave, Kayo follows them after they enter the cave.

The heat is immense inside that place, but he continues to follow his enemies in the hope of being able to save his friend at some point.

Your enemies suddenly stop and you can see an immense lake of lava in a large hole inside the cave. It is also possible to observe that there was a kind of 'altar' next to the lake.

They put the swordsman on the altar and tie him up, now the swordsman was attached to the stone altar and his body was attached to it.

Kayo was in a complicated situation, his ally was stuck and unable to do anything, he had no power to fight so many enemies, the most he could do was wait and hope for everything to work out. While they were preparing the ritual one of the enemies approaches the altar and shouts:

- Wait! We must leave it here for a day, so we can make the ritual more effective, the protection will be greater, we must also sacrifice some 'Mekros'

- You're right! We will leave some of us here to watch him if that kid shows up here.

- If it touches, that boy must be away from here if he is smart. But if he really thinks and saves his friend ...

- Hehe, you're right.

After a few minutes the civilians left the place and only a few remained to watch the place.

Kayo then seeing that he would not be able to get close takes a small stone and throws it towards the entrance to the cave.

- What was this? WHO'S THERE!

The only guard who was near the altar goes towards the entrance and passes directly through Kayo, who was hidden.

Kayo then carefully approaches the altar.

When he gets close, he extends his hand and slaps the swordsman in the face.

- Wake up!

Kayo whispered.

The swordsman after taking some tapas wakes up scared.

- Where am I?

- Why am I-

Kayo quickly takes his hand and covers his ally's mouth.

- Be quiet, listen. You are stuck on an altar, they want to sacrifice you.

- I'll find a way to get you out of here, just wait. I'll be back to pick you up but you need to be calm.

The swordsman nods.

While Kayo was talking to his ally the Guard had returned.

Your enemy quickly catches sight of him and starts running towards him

- Damn it!

Kayo starts to run to somewhere she could hide.

- He's here, call the guards! Let's get the boy.

Suddenly in the blink of an eye 4 guards were chasing him, he continued to run, he jumped over a log that was knocked down inside the cave, and when he looked back, he tripped over a rock and fell, as if that were not enough he had come to a dead end.

His enemies quickly surrounded him, He was surrounded and had nothing to defend himself, besides he had a slight ankle dislocation.

- Hey, why don't we talk a little? Let's sit down and have a tea, I guarantee it will be cool.

- No more brat talk, today is the day you will die as a sacrifice for the great SCORCERER.

One of the guards quickly takes out his sword and strikes a killing blow towards Kayo, while the sword approached his face, everything started to pass in slow motion through his mind. until...
