Alina Tales

Chapter Fifteen

Alina stood at the palace in terror as she was in the middle of a war, she held on to the hilt of her blood stained sword firmly on her right hand and held a shield on her left hand.

       She had no idea what was happening,  she stood shock as she watched the building all turned to rubble around her as a result of the battle going on.
          She looked around trying to find a way to escape from this body field, she couldn't stay here and watch head cut off from bodies. So she kept looking for a  exit when she sensed someone coming right for her.

                Alina narrowly dodged, immediately raiding her shield high to defend herself before her Opponent would strike again.  Luckily for her, she had thought fast enough

     Her quick thinking had saved her as at that moment,  her Opponent had used full force to  hit her shield and it reverberated sending her flying to the floor, making her loose hold of her shield.

               She laid on the floor and at that moment for the first time since the battle, she had just seen his face.

     A grotesque looking man, he this scars all over his face, his right eye had a clotting on it so Alina knew he was partially blind.

     He held a stick with spikes at the top, aiming for her head.

Alina who wasn't prepared for all of this dodged just in time to keep her head intact, the spike dug deep into the ground and her Opponent’s attention was on removing it.

        She saw it as an opportunity to  make her strike, she swiftly rolled towards her sword and stood up ready to attack but unfortunately for her, the man was standing afront her a creepy smile appeared on his face.

       He kicked her before she could attack, he was so fast that she never saw it coming. She fell to the ground facing her scarred opponent.

         Looking at him she saw his smile become creep,  making him look more hideous.

  He raised his weapon raised high aiming right for her head. She closed her eyes waiting for her fate, if this was where she was going to die atleast she would die on a battle field as she had always wanted.

         She closed her eyes waiting to feel her last pain before she died, she laid still expecting to feel pain but nothing came. She stopped hearing battle cry as everywhere became quiet.

           She opened her eyes and saw she was lying in an empty field, she sat up looking around before standing up, she was astonished at the change of environment .

            The grasses were green and dances harmoniously to the melody of the wind, her eyes lit up at the beauty before her, she hasn't seen any like it. She walked around hands spread wide as she enjoyed the serenity of the field  when all of a sudden, there was a terrible noise coming from afar , it got closer and seemed like a quake.

      She gasped.

            The grasses which was once green began to wither and fire which Alina had no idea who started it  began to spread at an alarming rate.

             She took off swiftly, running more than her legs could carry, as she ran she looked back and saw that the fire was spreading really fast .

             She increased her pace at an uncontrollable rate when she hit her leg on a stone, she fell to the ground, her leg hurting her  badly.

                    Soon she began to feel the heat,  the fire started to spread around her and soon it began to consume her. She could feel the excruciating pain as she screamed in terror, she felt helpless there was nothing she could do but near the pain till she die.
