The Dark Knight

Chapter 6 Kate

    It has been days, weeks even, when Blazer was killed. His death haunted my dreams and flooded my eyes during the day. Today, it didn't matter if I cried during the day or not. The rain washed away the tears and planted them into the ground for the lushes plants of spring to feed off of. It was a dark, gloomy, rainy day. My horse, my cloths, all was wet in the tears of the day. I was shivering in my saddle. The ground was extremely muddy, leaving hoove tracks in the ground.
     I clutched the reigns and clenched my jaw to try and stop my shivering. I wipe away my tears and continued to travel down the road towards the unknown.

   I was coughing and trying to stay awake when my horse bucked. It was unexpected. I griped my saddle as long as i could. I don't know what spooked him. I fell off and slammed my head off something hard. All went Black.

I awoke in a horrible coughing fit. I looked around and noticed we are in a room. A old room. Abandoned even. The stones were grey and cobwebs were in the corners. A candle was lit in the four corners in the room. The bed i was laying on was with a fancy covers and pillows. I coughed again and rolled over to my side. Coughing up a storm into the blankets. The wooden, rusted door opened to reveal a man. He wore a black mask over his head. He wore all black leather. A sword hang at his side and arrows at his back. A bow was over his shoulder. I quit coughing and looked at him. He took off his mask. Victor. It was Victor. His eyes were full of worry and hope.
     "Victor. Your alive. Where did you run off to?" I asked, coughing again into the blanket. He ran to my side in a heartbeat. He rubbed my arms for warmth. I didn't even realize I was cold. As I continue to cough up a storm, he grabs a blanket and wraps it around me. He sits on the bed and strokes my hair gentle. I quit coughing and look at him. Relief was all over his face. He smiled bleakly and grabbed a little bottle from his bag. The contents was a green color. He opened the lid and put it to my lips.
"Drink up. It will make you feel better." He said, pouring down the horrible-tasting liquid into my mouth. I swallow with distaste. He set the bottle back in his bag and strokes my hair.
"Go back to sleep. You will need it." My eyes closed with a sudden weariness that came from nowhere and I fell into a dark abyss.

I opened my eyes to a whole different world. The I was laying on the floor of a huge throne room. The floors, the walls, were all made of black stone. The room had windows on the sides, showing a vast, dark place. A forest stretched for miles with dark colored leaves and grass. The sky showed a red sun of blood. The sky was red with no cloud in the sky. Only stars. White, glowing stars that no sky should have. In front of me was a man sitting on a throne of hatred. Skulls plastered on its legs and handles. Bones and blood dripped from horns on the back of his chair, spreading out to look like the devil himself. The man was sitting like a king. He wore black, evil armor. His metal shoulder plates were of skulls with gems red as blood. His metal gloves were increased with red vein like lines that connected to a red gem. His breastplate had a skull in the middle of his chest. Vein like lines connected to the skull spread out to other small gems. His armor was not natural. He had a black hood over his eyes and a long black, shredded at the ends, cape on his shoulders. His only facial features were his evenly lines lips and a scar. His scar was to the right side of his nose down to his chin. I could tell he was muscular.
Besides his on either side were knights. Eight knights in total. Four on left and four on the right. They wore a hood over their heads and a same dark shredded cape like their master. Their armor, dark and evil, reeked of revenge and blood. Their armor wasn't the same as their master. Their shoulders had spikes and the rest of their armor had skulls. Swords hung at their sides. They all stared at me.
    "Hello child. I have heard much about you. Seen much. Ive been waiting for you."  The master said. I stood up and stared at him.
     "Where am I? Who are you?" I asked. I got to admit, I was scared. This man, his Knights, they were not normal. The man chuckled.
      "Yes. We are not "normal". Welcome to the realm of the dead, M'Lady. I am Mora, God of death and destruction. This is my realm. These are my knights." He replied. My heart thumped in my chest. The only thing I heard was my breathing and my fear.
"I know what happened to you friend Blazer. He was a good loyalist towards me. Still is." He said, smirking a bit. That was when my heartbeat stop, fear diminished and turned to dread.
"Don't cry now. I don't need any of that. I have a message that needs to be delivered to Victor and I seem to have trouble contacting him. Tell him this, Its time. Make shore he gets it. Also, one more thing, tell him to go to my temple first. I have a surprise for him." Mora commanded. I nodded.
        "Take her back."  The soldiers walked towards me. Their right hands held a black mist that surrounded their hands. They gave a stop like gesture and the mist came flying. Pain. So much pain. My body screamed and i thought I was going to die their. My eyes closed and the pain was gone.

  I bolted up in bed with sweat and tears. I covered my head into my hands and cried. Victor came rushing in. He quickly got in bed from the other side and hugged he tightly. I cried and cried into his chest. He strokes my hair and gave me small kisses on my head. After a while I wiped my tears and just rested my head on the crook of his neck. He held me tightly as he laid me down with him. We held each other close. He kissed my forehead and rubbed my back till I fell asleep again in his warm embrace.  Safe in his arms. Safe at last.
