2nd Chance

The Artifacts

The pic above is Elite, the chieftain of the village attacked in the Cold As Ice Remake. He is seen at the beginning, showing his skill bye beheading a zombie and landing a back flip without many problems.

I watched the Dragon Tamer, Rain, and Lady Stella traveling for months. Originally, I was sent to the village where Naeus was killed bye the bandit Daryll. I was known as Elite, Chieftain of that unnamed village. To my dismay, we lost more men than we could afford the way the battle was going now.

So, we had to find some artifacts or some shi- Caw

Puling my bowstring back I shot the raven dead in the eye. Grabbing the carcass out of it's nest, I got down from the tree where I was watching Stella and Rain. Walking a ways away, I quickly built a smokeless fire (courtesy the trees who gave me there branches). Did I mention that plants often help me? After the battle I found that out. A vine reached up and touched my finger and it was, strange at the very least. I cooked the raven, took one look at it, and gagged. I had spoken with many birds. They are very intelligent. 

The thought of eating one sickened me. I hesitantly brought the meat to my mouth and was about to take a bite when a torrent of memories flooded my mind.

~Flashback~

I slid my blade easily through the pigmans armor, killing it before dodging a fireball and killing another. I looked up and dismay filled me. An entire army approached the village, and I knew I would likely die. My only hope was that the Frostburne could show, but that wouldn't be soon...

...

The Frostburne fled, and I hid nearby, watching the scene of my village burning. I was the last one left. Then I saw him. A lone bandit. He stood in front of Naeus, Gun drawn and ready. Naeus charged and struck the bandit across the chest who shot him in the knee forcing him down. No No. I thought We couldn't afford having anymore men dying. I ran forward at a ridiculously fast pace. I tackled the bandit just as the airship crashed. My back exploded and writhed in pain, but I stayed down. Mostly because I didn't think my knees would support me. 

I heard people shifting through the wreckage and somebody said, "Sir, the king is dead!"

A curse.

The sound equivalent of metal striking bone.

Then nothing. The bandit tried to stand, but I pulled him down and said " Play dead, they will leave if we don't do anything" I was as quiet as I could be, but he heard me none the less.

~Flashback over~

I threw down the raven, suddenly sickened by the idea of eating it. I scavenged the forest until night and ate some berry's and the few edible plants around me. I heard shouts. Then a scream. Coming from The Dragon Tamer's direction.

BUM BUM BUM. What do you think happened? Was it the hoard? Or the Undead? Geuss you'll have to find out. Next week. Sorry. What do you think? This is my first story so, anything I can improve on? Any suggestions?
