Aedenoa: The Amulet of the Immortal Ichor

Evil Takes a New Modality

         

Wandering through the forest I found my clothes, got dressed, and had to think about what to do next with the Amulet of The Immortal Ichor. I knew the amulet was nothing but evil and since that was the case I decided to never use it. I kept the amulet inside one of my pockets and thought to go find Emylyna to tell her I have the amulet. Soon ahead of me was the starting path of the Beuw Grasslands and it was nice to finally be close to an open area. Suddenly, someone from the shadows spoke to me. 

"Well, well if it isn't the werewolf of Ceskurg. You left quite the massacre within that charming little town." 

The voice startled me because I couldn't sense this person nearby, but I found a man sitting on one of the tree branches by the entrance of the Zels Woodland Woods. He jumps down and it was a man cloaked in the Rearenth Empire colors. He was wearing a hooded cloak, had several gadgets, gear, and tools that assassins would use. Soon took his hood off to reveal himself. His eyes were the color of crimson and his pupils had an unnatural sharpness to it like as if he was a dangerous predator. 

"Who are you?" I had asked suspiciously. 

"I am Agaldr an assassin from the Vrulrik Legion. I have one purpose, to hunt, track, and kill any users of magic and those of the supernatural such as yourself." 

"How'd you find me?"

"It wasn't easy I've been following you since you murdered half of Ceskurg and that mess you and the other unnatural being made in the king's city lead me here waiting for you."

"The other unnatural being you speak of is dead."

"I know I heard the fighting throughout the woods and all I had to do was wait." 

I readied myself for anything as I saw Agaldr switched a blade from one of his gauntlets he was wearing on his hand. 

He looks at the blade with admiration, "silver right? That's a weakness to you werewolves and I never thought there would be a day of them existing." 

Without warning Agaldr lunges at me to strike with his silver switch blade, but I move out of the way to claw him. He counters my attack by quickly throwing silver dust upon my face. I began to scream because of the burning sensation of the silver, my skin shrivels up like if I spent too long in water. Next, I felt his silver switch blade slash my side and I fall on both of my hands and knees. I began to crawl trying to get away. 

"Huh, is this it? Is this what everyone is afraid of? I was excepting more a challenge, but no matter time to collect the bounty on your head and present your corpse to the king!"

Agaldr switches his blade away and takes out his silver sword strapped to his side. I began to feel the amulet beating like it had a heart of it's own. I clutch the amulet and decided to take it out and utilize it out of desperation. Agaldr readies his weapon, "so long foul beast!"

I flashed the amulet before him and when Agaldr went for the killing blow his blade hits the amulet. I felt a painful jolt within my heart suddenly when Agaldr's blade impacted the amulet. Voices spoke to me inside my head or chanted something I could not understand. Next, I heard Agldr screeching in horrid agony as he dropped his blade to the ground. 

"My eyes!" he squealed.

I saw the palm of his hands pressing against his eye sockets as burning smoke came out from his sockets. He kneels to the ground and his hands move away and I saw his eyes burning like as if hot coal was placed inside his sockets. Smoke began to rise throughout his body and Agldr strips his clothing because of the burning pain. I saw his bare chest boil and bubble like a hot iron cauldron over an open fire. He continues to scream and then I saw his body wither away into nothing but a pile of bone and ash.
