Where Home Is

War

Slow day today!! Hope you enjoy!!

Warning: Death :)

Anthony's Perspective-

We fought.

People shouted.

I was fighting one guard while Pearl had taken on three.

Trissa and Tom had also joined the fight.

Everett was using Gem's wand and was slashing it around.

Eventually, I slashed my sword, causing the guard I was fighting to fall to the ground, dead.

I ran over towards Everett who was facing the other direction.

I raised my sword and at the last minute, someone shouted,

"KING EVERETT TURN AROUND!"

Everett turned around and dodged my sword, but I was still able to grab Gem's wand.

I slashed her wand in half and Everett screamed.

I laughed, "That's what you get for- "

I cut myself off.

Trissa screamed and I dropped my sword and Gem's broken wand.

I fell to my knees and heard Everett cackle.

"Tch, tch, tch, you were one of the best guards I had. Such a shame you went this way."

He then kicked me, and my vision started to get foggy.

The last thing I heard was Pearl shouting for Tom and Trissa to run and hurried footsteps.

I smiled, knowing that I had made a sacrifice for the better.

I shut my eyes, waiting to see my parents once again.

Trissa's Perspective-

Tom grabbed my hand we started running, running as fast as we could, down the hall.

We heard Pearl and Tilly fighting and Everett shouting.

Some guards made it past Pearl, and they were chasing me and Tom.

They were gaining on us, and I looked over my shoulder.

Both guards had their swords drawn out, a crazy look in their eyes.

I started running faster and Tom suddenly made a sharp right turn.

I stumbled but continued running.

We burst through the door to the stables.

We ran over to where Gem's dragon was kept and untied her.

Tom got on the dragon and helped me up.

The guards ran in, and Tom made the dragon take off.

We started flying away right when one of the guards shot an arrow at us.

It hit my shoulder and I screamed out in pain.

Tom turned, fear in his eyes, but I told him to continue flying and that we could heal it later.

Gem's Perspective-

I looked up and saw a dragon flying away.

"Come on." I grabbed my brother's hand, and we started flying.

I caught up with Tom and Trissa and saw that she was bleeding.

"What happened?" I exclaimed, seeing the arrow.

"It's fine." Trissa croaked, her voice shaking, "We'll heal it later. Just keep flying."

I assumed she was crying from the pain of the arrow, but she then said,

"Anthony. He's dead."

"What?!"

Tom nodded, "Fought for us. Snapped your wand but got killed by another guard."

Just then, an arrow zoomed past my ear, causing me to gasp and turn around.

"That's him." Tom said, looking at the guard who was flying after us.

"Don't know where the others are though." Tom muttered.

"I ripped their elytra." Trissa said proudly, "But he had his on him."

I slowed down and the others looked at me, concerned.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting revenge." I said. The others wanted to follow me, but I waved them off.

"Go, just go, I'll catch up."

They exchanged worried looks but I flew off towards the guard.

"Hello wizard." He snarled, "I assume you heard about what I did to your friend?"

I punched him in the face, "You shut up about Anthony," I said in a shaky voice, "He didn't deserve that."

"He betrayed- "

I punched the guard again.

He loaded up his crossbow, but not with an arrow, with a firework.

"You shoot that at me and we'll both get killed." I said, watching him as he changed what he was pointing at.

"I wasn't going to shoot you." He then shot the firework at fWhip.

"NO!" I shouted.

fWhip turned around in midair and the firework hit his stomach.

"fWHIP!" I shouted, flying down to catch my falling brother.

The guard cackled and flew back towards the village.

"That's all I needed to do." I heard him say.
