I got to my position in the tree line. I was positive that Arthur had abandoned us. That's when I saw him beside me, it caused me to jump, "Arthur you're here?"
He looked at me with that devil smile, "I wouldn't miss this for the world." He drew his sword and pointed up to the tree, "shouldn't you be climbing?"
"Oh yeah." I began to scurry up the tree.
"Good luck." He said as he walked into the field.
We were in our positions for nearly an hour before the first bone collector showed up. Their amor was made up completely made of bones. I wondered what innocent person was killed to get that armor piece;could it possibly be Arthur's bones?
I couldn't think that right now, when I snapped back into reality there was hundreds of bones collectors surrounding us. That's when I head the attack trumpet blow.
The battle cries ringed out through the land, I shot five down immediately. The poison arrows would kill them slowly and painfully.
I was careful not to cut myself with the arrows as I pulled them from the sheath and loaded them. One mistake could lead to my own death. These arrows contain a potent poison that's nearly impossible to recover from.
I looked back up and saw a sight that I could never imagine Arthur was running through the filed with his sword, slitting their throats. He was covered in blood, his sword look like it was dip in a pool of blood. He had a smile on his face and he slashed each and every one of them.
Arthur had always been an innocent caring person who wouldn't hurt a fly, and here he is enjoying there death cries, he is enjoying the bath of the blood that he is taking.
I heard a blood curdling scream,it snapped me back in to reality, I looked down a bone collector had Crystal pinned against a rock and was choking her. I went to help but one grabbed me from behind. He must've been waiting for me to come down. I screamed as loud as I could for Atlas. He turned and saw Crystal, he quickly stabbed the bone collector he was occupied with in the throat, and bolted to her. The last thing I saw was Atlas slit the throat of the man who had Crystal.
He was strangling me, I could no longer scream for help, my weapon was out of my grasp, I felt my life beginning to leave my body. I closed my eyes. I felt the pressure release all the sudden, I took a deep breath and began choking for air, every breath I took was painful.
I looked beside me and there laid the head of the one was was choking me. A bloody hand reach down, I looked up and saw Arthur. His face was covered in a coat of the blood of the ones he killed. I grabbed his hand."I can't let him kill you, then I can't punish you."
Was he saving me so he can kill me?
It didn't matter all that matters is I'm alive now and I'm in war, we had to win this war. I grabbed my bow and we bolted to the field.
We counted the dead bodies that surrounded us, 60 of our own died, but 200 bone collectors laid dead around us.
We started to relax this part of the war was over. That's when I felt a pain bolt through my body, the taste of blood filled my mouth. I looked down and saw the tip of a sword through my chest. Did Arthur already punish me? No it couldn't be him. Atlas swung his sword and decapitated a bone collector who wasn't actually dead. I went to fall to the ground. The world was going blurry. Arthur caught me, the look on his face was terror. " I can't let you die."
He yanked the sword from my chest, I know why the man that day let out a yelp, the pain was unreal.
The blood began to pour. "Crystal, save her you are a medic."
Crystal looked at me and shook her head. "I can't, we are on the field and the amount of blood she is loosing, plus she end up drowning in her own blood. "
I could barley hear Arthur scream, "you know witchcraft, put it to use!"
The last thing I heard was Atlas yell, "you are going to kill her anyway, what's the use?"
The world went black.
