Forgotten Blood

Chapter 8 - Y/n vs Eryn

Y/n's pov:
I'm still exhausted from the fight with Sapnap. It might have looked like it was not much but he was stronger than I expected, he looked easier to beat.

I underestimated my opponent.

My thoughts get interrupted when I feel a wind coming my way. I turn my body 90°, and a sharp blade passed by my head cutting off a strain of my hair. Fuck when did the fight start? I see Eryn wielding his blade again, fucking hell, does he want me dead or something?! I dodge his attack, he looks at me unsure if he should strike again. I just looked at him waiting to dodge again, I planned to let him attack till he was worn out then it would be fine. But when he strikes for my head again, I snapped. Like, is he trying to kill me?

"Ok let me make something clear to you kid," I spoke slightly annoyed at how he was constantly aiming for my head, "you and I are doing a friendly fight I ain't gonna be the reason a child dies," I knew darn well that it's a weak excuse to hold back because he's a minor, but I always weaken when doing things with kids(that are younger than you) it has always been like that and Wilbur would always use it to his advantage.

"Y/n give it your all, I'm a fighter, not a healer or something, why would you give Punz and Sapnap your all but hold back for me? We're all three fighters, so give me the same treatment and don't hold back, got it?" He said full of confidence.

I took a deep breath and said, "fine, I'll play it fair." I guess he just wanted a fair fight bc he aimed for my hip this time. I moved my hip to the left to avoid getting cut by his saber, but instead, my arm got cut. It was not so bad in my opinion, I barely felt anything so I didn't care. I noticed my bow laying on the ground, I took a run for it and sprinted to my archery weapon. He ran behind me trying to close the distance I created, while I on the other hand tried my best to keep it like how it was.

I grabbed my beloved weapon and turned around to see Eryn still running my way, he wasn't close but he wasn't far either. I took this chance to shoot an arrow at him.

The arrow goes through his right arm. I know I told the kid wouldn't hold back, but I'm not planning to kill this child.

He stops to take the arrow out. He then rips a piece of his shirt and ties it around his arm where the wound was. I copied what he did but to the cut on my left arm. If I didn't see him do that I would have probably forgotten to. Eryn will be fine I shot him with an arrow of healing. But I'll just drink a potion of healing when this fight is over.

He comes right at me and I grabbed my axe. I was planning on kicking him down and holding the axe on his neck. Because that's my favorite way to win but that's probably too predictable, I decided to just hold him against the floor. He came at me charging his blade to stab me again. He is kind of impulsive and reckless, I can't blame him for it though, because not much better

I held my axe out pretending I was going to fight him with it. When he clashed his sword against my axe I then bent back letting him push himself down. He fell with his face on the ground. I held his hands on his back while sitting on his legs.

He was unable to fight back causing me to be the winner. I think both this and the last fight, would have been longer or at least harder(not saying it was not hard) if they both didn't act before thinking it through. They both look like they would be able to lead in a war, and win it. But at the same time as far as I heard, either stay on the sidelines or follow someone else there order.

As soon as Punz ended the match (i bet at least 2 ppl read this as "stream", well I did at least instead of "match". So 1 more) I ran over to the side where punz and Sapnap had med-kits ready for when we get injured. I undid the piece of clothing that I used as a bandage, then grab a potion of healing and opened it with my teeth to not use my arm that now has an exposed wound. Then I poured it all over the cut, it stained a bit but it's not the first time I had to do this, and therefore I'm used to it.
