The 5 Knights

Chapter 27

He realized something changed in his body. He opened his eyes and walked towards a nearby river to look at them.

"There are no rivers nor ponds around here." Said Dana, her voice echoed in Salem's head. He looked around searched for Dana, but she was not seen. He remembered she gave him some powers around a week ago.

"So I slept for a week because of this Crimson. Yet, I have a feeling it is a part of Crimson, not the entire thing." Replied Salem with a sigh. There was still a week to finish what was planned against the heavens.

"The Process went faster than planned. In a good way." Said Dana. He sat on the floor, took a deep breath. He tried to put the plans of the day to accomplish. At first, he thought to join the others knights, but later, he thought to meet up with Meryem once more for no specific reason.

"Why don't you ask her to join your side?" Dana asked. He replied with a neutral tone"I don't want to get others in things they are not interested in." She considers Salem a wise man, who doesn't show that he is worried or thinking about things, yet, hides them all in.

"That is not a reason to think that I am a wise man you know." He said as he held his scythe and headed northeast.

"Maybe, but you do things at the right time. Except that War and deleting the Green-Lands. It is the definition of craziness." Her voice echoed in Salem's head.

"We are heading to Green-Lands now. The legendary battle will be there, so I would like to see it before the piece of land is deleted." He said with a smile.

He seemed confident in winning the war for some reason. At least that was what he thought. Until his body started to bleed from every corner. Eyes, ears, mouth, hands. Even from the scythe. It was something unexpected to happen. Not even Dana saw that coming. He fell on the floor unconscious, not listening to anyone. Not even Dana, who screamed and shouted.

There was a battalion of angels marching in the mysterious forest. The Battalion was lead by a powerful angel, the supreme angel, Linda. Her battalion was sent on hard missions, like capturing black genies and legendary demons.

The archers of the battalion flew in the sky, to scout and fire at any strange movements.

"What is the plan concerning the war in the Green-Lands?" Said her lieutenant. He had a holy sword and a whip with holy thorns all around it. His face was covered with a face mask from injuries.

"When we go there, when we meet with the entire gods, we will decide, but for now, you guys will fight the five knights. They are hell powerful." Replied Linda with a sharp voice. She had white eyes that allowed her to see in the pitch-black, and see the movements of the opponent no matter who it was. She held a whip and an icy sword, that killed anyone instantly just by freezing the blood.

At dusk, Linda gave the order to call it a day. Angels usually don't sleep, but since it was the calm before the storm, she thought to give them rest, and enjoy their time together. Linda has this feeling that a new era will begin after the war ends if Salem won, and if not, they will not see each other again.

When they started to camp and turn on the fire, one of the angels ran their way shouting and screaming. "SALEM IS DEAD! SALEM IS DEAD!" Linda caught him from the neck and forced him to shut up and tell her everything he saw and why he thought Salem died.

"As I was walking to gather some wood, or finding something to hunt, I saw a body of a huge guy with a scythe covered with blood." He said while heavy breathed. He walked Linda and thirty other angels to where he found the body.

"We never approached Salem, why do you think it is him," Linda asked.

"Because I am Salem." He said with a neutral voice. He stood up and holed at his body. It was the color of Crimson. He looked at his scythe, it had the color of Crimson too. He rolled his eyes slowly towards Linda. With no slash, no words, no order, black spears came out of the earth, stabbing all the thirty angels in the heart, killing them all except Linda.
