Royal Blood

Chapter Six

Once Eleanor and Aristotle had left the knight station, they saw hundreds of creatures killing the townsfolk, Aristotle ran back into the knight station with Eleanor, they quickly got their armor on and grabbed their scabbards. They put their scabbards around their waist, they ran back out the knight station and they ran to the village as fast as they could, "GET THE EIRA LADY AND HER SON, I'LL GET OLIVER AND LUCIA!" Aristotle shouted, Eleanor nodded and ran towards the building where they held people who have had been injured, Aristotle ran towards Oliver's house, once he got there, he saw Lucia and Oliver running out of the house, pulling their armor and scabbards on. "LUCIA, YOU WORK ON HEALING THE INJURED, OLIVER YOU HELP FIGHT AND GET ANY SURVIVORS OUT OF HERE!" Aristotle shouted, Lucia and Oliver looked at him, they both nodded, Lucia ran off to people who she seen were on the ground to check if they were still alive, she could only heal people who were still alive or near death. Aristotle ran and started cutting the heads off creatures, Oliver followed him, "SOME OF THESE CREATURES WILL GET THEIR HEADS BACK!" Oliver shouted, Aristotle could not believe that, not even for a second, he kept cutting the heads off creatures, Eleanor came running over to them with Eira and Ralph. "I can give us coverage but I'm still low on energy..." Eira said, Oliver looked at her, "No! I won't let you, go help Lucia, bring Ralph with you!" Oliver demanded, "I will not back down from any fight." Eira bluntly said, she put her hands out in front of her. Oliver went silent, Eira's hands started glowing bright blue, she started making weapons of ice and throwing them at the creatures' heads, but then, it went from awful to worse quick. The creatures started going after Eira, Eira was in a vulnerable place, "GET OUT OF HERE, I CAN TAKE THEM! TAKE RALPH TO SAFETY FOR ME! PROTECT HIM WITH ALL YOU HAVE!" Eira shouted, Eleanor picked up Ralph, Eleanor ran towards Lucia, Lucia was healing survivors who were severely injured, there were some knights helping her pick up the severely injured survivors, putting them in nearby wagons that were attached to horses. "EIRA, YOU'RE HU-" Oliver was cut off by suddenly being pushed back onto the ground by an invisible force, Aristotle was pushed back as well. Oliver watched a creature take control of Eira's body, what was once Eira, was no longer Eira. Eira's eyes started glowing bright blue, Eira started making a bunch of weapons made of ice, she started throwing them at Aristotle and Oliver, Aristotle and Oliver dodged them, they both got up, "You have to kill her! There's no way to take her back!" Aristotle said, Oliver stared at Eira, he saw her trying to stop herself, going against whatever the creature was forcing her to do. The more Eira resisted, the more the creature controlling her against her will got mad. "TELL RALPH, MOMMY LOVES HIM..." Eira shouted, she made an orb of ice, tossing it to Oliver, Oliver caught it, she was trying her hardest to fight it, but in the end, she could not. The creature that was controlling Eira killed her on the spot because of how much she was resisting, Oliver froze for a moment, Aristotle started cutting off creatures' heads again along with other knights, Oliver quickly ran around the village, looking for any survivors, he found a few and led them to the wagons Lucia was at, he gave Lucia the ice orb to keep it safe.

When Oliver went to look around again, he saw his father, his father was ripped to shreds by the creatures, Oliver held back tears, Aristotle then grabbed Oliver's arm, "WE HAVE TO LEAVE, THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM AND VERY FEW OF US!" Aristotle shouted, Aristotle pulled Oliver to the wagons, a bunch of wagons already headed off to the east, the last few wagons that were left were filled with wounded knights, Oliver was silent, Aristotle had to force Oliver into one of the wagons, Lucia, Eleanor, and Ralph were in the same wagon, the horse that was attached to the wagon started running to the east, the other horses followed the wagon. Oliver went pale, Lucia looked him, "What's wrong?" She asked, "He's dead..." Oliver mumbled, Lucia frowned, she got close to Oliver and hugged him tightly, Oliver just sat there, staring off at the sky. The whole journey to the east was silent, no one said a word, the Kingdom of Chovalon was taken over, now they had two kingdoms to take back.
