The Marakese

Bullets

Bordos walked over to the Harakkans. He saw Philippe standing there, dutifully guarding the people. Bordos took his guns out and aimed at Philippe. He waited for him to turn back so that he could shoot him in the front." And not at the back like a coward". Bordos waited there for a very long time there. Hours had passed and Philippe did not turn back to face Bordos. Bordos was getting irritated and his patience was slowly running out. He was tempted to shoot him from behind, but refrained at the last minute. There was some movement on the sky above. Bordos looked up and it was the Brok flying over at the skies." What is he doing at this time of the hour"? wondered Bordos. The Brok flew over just above Bordos and Bordos hid himself. What is this child up to! Wondered Bordos as he rolled over under the thick bushes. He looked up and the Brok still hovered up above him. Bordos took his gun out and shot straight at the Brok. The rage had got the better of Bordos. The Brok dodged the bullets and flew over to his home. He was not hurt. Philippe sensing the danger immediately ran over to the thick bushes under where Bordos hid himself and dragged him out. Bordos was a strong and big man. He caught Philippe by his throat and flung him far away. They say you run in four legs! said Bordos. Philippe got up and took his sword out. They say you are some kind of beast! Taunted Bordos again. Philippe ran towards Bordos with his sword coming in like a samurai. Bordos aimed at Philippe now with both his guns and drew bullets at his direction. The bullets were relentless and Philippe dodged many of them and others he deflected them away with his blades. Bordos grunted and moved forward towards the direction of Philippe. Philippe too was moving towards his enemy! Bordos now shot Philippe from a closer range. The bullets were fast and powerful now for Philippe to dodge. Some of the bullets pierced him and they hurt him badly. What is this ? he wondered. These bullets are more painful than the normal ones. He was badly hurt. Philippe ran over to the top of the trees now. Bordos did not know where he was and shot everywhere. The bullets pierced the trees and many of them fell down on the ground. As the trees fell, Bordos could sense that there was movement in the trees. Philippe was jumping from one tree to another. Bordos took his time to reload and Philippe thought this was the best time to attack and so he did. He jumped from the trees and pierced his sword on the neck of Bordos. Bordos fell on the ground. He removed the sword from his neck and threw it far away. He caught Philippe again by the neck and threw him far away. He reloaded his gun and shot again at Philippe. Philippe searched for his sword and picked it up with his hand. Now he again came running towards Bordos who was relentless. He shot at Philippe over and over again. Philippe dodged the bullets again and deflected some of the bullets away with his sword. This time he neared Bordos and swung his sword at the chest of Bordos. Tearing it wide apart! Bordos yelled in pain and shot Philippe and this time some bullets wounded him again. Philippe withdrew to the top of the trees and hid himself. Bordos reloaded his guns and shot aimlessly at the trees. The trees were now very sparse and only a few remained. Show yourself Coward! shouted Bordos. Philippe waited patiently as he leapt from one tree to another. As Bordos again took his time to reload his gun, Philippe cam flying from the trees and pierced his sword on the arms of Bordos , taking one of it away with him. Bordos yelled in pain and anger and took aim at Philippe with only one of the guns remaining! Philippe now easily deflected the bluets with his sword and came closer to Bordos. He chopped his leg of first and Bordos fell on the ground, he took his head away! Philippe walked back to the village as Bordos lay dead on the ground!
