Terraria: Birds of a Feather

Chapter Seventy-Two: Breaking Bones

Feather's POV

I shook the sand out of my armor. It's time. As soon as my armor is secured and my bag rests on my shoulder, I take off back towards the dungeon.

I felt my palms get sweaty. Just relax...

I never fought a boss before....

My heart was pounding in my chest by the time I was stepping up the steps.

I throw my bag down and ready my sword and Ball 'O Hurt, my hookshot tests by my side. I guess these are the only weapons I'll need.

"I have returned to challenge Skeletron!" My voice boomed throughout the green brick.

The old man dropped to his knees.

"Please! Release me of my curse! I beg you!" He wheezes. The old man started shaking, until it stopped.

My knees began to tremble.

"What's going on?!" I ask, my voice faltering. It started as a low chuckle, the old man's voice quavered to a deeper tone.

"What's wrong young hero? Are you scared?" He then looked up at me, his eyes glowing completely red.

His piercing eyes seemed to drill into my facade of confidence.

Stay calm!

He's trying to get into your head!

Don't be afraid!

I took a deep breath and readied my battle stance.

"I'm not afraid of you Skeletron!" I shout.

The old man narrowed his eyes and smirked.

"We'll see about that!"

The old man snapped his fingers as darkness overtook the dungeon.

I hear a loud roar as a giant skull and two arms arose from the darkness.

"FEAR ME YOUNG HERO!" Skeletron roared. I felt a sinking feeling in my heart as my stomach became queasy. I started shaking. All of a sudden, he charged me, arms flailing about.

His arms smacked me, sending me flying across the dungeon. I jump up, staggering a bit.

"TRY ME!" I scream. A loud screech fills echoes in the hall as Skeletron barrels towards me.

I run towards him and strike my sword into his arm. He reaches his arms and tries to hit me again, but I skillfully dodge. Huh... It seemed like my sword didn't do much damage. I quickly sheath my sword and start twirling my Ball 'O Hurt.

I slam it into his skull. He becomes enraged and grabs me, his boney fingers squeezing me. He then hurls me at the wall, crushing most of my bones. I groggily sit up and wipe the blood away from my mouth.

I stagger up and charge. I aim from his arm, but he dodges the attack. I grunted in frustration and swung again, smiling when I hear the crack of bone.

I continue landing blows on him, with him doing minor damage. He roars and smashes his cracked skull against my body, cutting me up a bit. Blood poured out onto the green brick.

A few beads of sweat dropped off my forehead as I panted.

"Getting tired young hero? I haven't even started!" Skeletron leered.

All of a sudden, I started hearing whispers.

"Weak........ Afraid.... Scared....." They echoed. I felt my blood boil as I struck Skeletron in the arms. The whispers grew into chants. My ears began ringing with hate chants.

Blood pulsed through my ears as I continue getting hits on Skeletron.

My head began to pound as screams rang throughout, sending chills down my spine.

I had ducked under Skeletron's arm, which had sped towards me. I slid across the green brick, which was stained with my blood.

Skeletron then hurled me into the wall, and bashed his skull into me several times.

"WEAK! WORTHLESS! PATHETIC! WIMP!" The voices screamed. I couldn't hear anything else, just the agonizing screams.

The pain was borderline unbearable. Tears started to fall, the mental and physical pain growing..

I let out a low growl as I slowly felt my body begin to get numb.

You are weak......

I began shaking.....

Not in pain..... But with anger...

I am not weak...

"Get......... Out..... Of...... MY..... HEAD!" I scream. I move my leg and kick Skeletron's skull.

I let my rage fuel me as I continued striking Skeletron. I gritted my teeth and began breathing hard.

Every bad thing the screams said, filled me with anger, thus making my attacks stronger.

Skeletron screeched in pain as one of his arms disintegrated.

Well...... At least I'm doing some damage....

A wild idea popped  into my head. I aimed my hookshot and fired towards the roof. I swung up and landed on top of his skull.

The Ball O' Hurt smashed against him.

He must be close to dying soon!

My eyes widen when I feel Skeletron's grip on me.

His skull and remaining arm float up into the sky. I flail about in his hand, continuously hitting me. My eyes widened as we became farther from the ground.

My blood streaked face began to fill with worry.

BWAH HAH HAH! PUNY HUMAN! I know you are in pain! And this will seal the deal!

He twirled his arm and flung me towards the dungeon with immeasurable speed.

I braced for impact as everything stopped.

Bwah hah...... Hah.....

Looks like we're done here....

No we're not!

I will personally destroy you....

My eyes slowly blurred open as I see a familiar figure standing in front of me.

"COME AND GET ME, SKELETRON!" Ki shouted right before I blacked out, my body pulsing with numbness.

See...... By my standards, Feather should be dead. Heck, I even died when ever I fought Skeletron with Ki.

The ending was kinda rushed,It's currently 5 am and I'm going to start editing and go to sleep.

Things are changing.

Bye bye Brudunskies

Peace..

Hmm..

Bona-fide
