Light In The Distance

Chapter 3

       "Preah ning preqhcheamcheasa nei thommocheate phtal brak kamchi aoy khnhom thamopl robsa anak khnhom saum karpar anak del now choumuinh khnhom cheamuoy nung kamleang robsa anak.*"

       The words whisper through my ears waking me with a start.  Staing out the blur in  my eyes slowy start to sharpen alowing me to se the quick movements of someones arms as the world comes alive around them, vines and roots shooting forward and latching themselves around the taloned feet of a ginourmous skull face bird whose feathers were standing high framing it's face as it released a blood chillinkg skreech.  

       "Lehvi!  If you are a-fucking-awake I advise you get your ass over here and give me a helping hand.  Vetomon* can only go so far!"

       Getting up I pull my sword from its hilt at my waist and take a step forward as the creature pulls free and flaps its wings creating a blinding gust of wind before it runs forward to attack.  Runnintg towards the other person I push them to the ground as a taloned foot swipes out catching and slicing through a long strand of strawberry hair.

       Pushing me away the she stands and yells, "Preah phleung chuoy yeung!*  Preahcheaumcheasa nei phendei chuoy yeung!*"  Stompping on the ground she thrusts her hands forward and the earth rises catching and flipping the bird.  Slowly she raises her hands in a choppy wave like motion then a leg to step back then quickly follows that motion with a quick arm spreat out spin afterwords a wall of flames rises and surrounds all of us.  "Lehvi, stop being lazy and use your god damned sword!"  

       Taking a deep breath I run forward hoping my body will quickly remember all of its training.  Hastening my steps I move forward faster until I'm beside the rising creature and whip like vines are moving to hold it down.  Jumping into the air I take hold of its neck and swing onto its back folloing the move with a downward swing of my sword chopping into its flesh with a satifying thwak.  Screeching and chattering the creature trys to buck me off,  tightening my leggs around it I hold my sword with both hands wrapped around its hilt and repeat my sword swinging motion over and over again till I've lopped off its head and its body collapsus to the ground.

       "And off with his hed said the red queen."  

       Looking up I jump off as the flames and vines disapear returning to wherever they came from.

       "Well it is nice to see you too Ahliânâ, though I wasn't expecting to see you any time soon."

       "Well your lucky I decided to follow you, otherwise, my dear friend,  you would probably be at the bottom of that things large stomach."

       "And what of that Andrew guy?"

       " Forget him he likes that one chick on the otherside of the village plus our chances are ruined thanks to your mother."

      Smiling brightly she walks toward me while pulling her hair up ingto a tight pony tail.

       "So where are we off to?"

       "South toward the deadlands away from the icelands."

       "Didn't know it was that direction."

       "Well you never paid attention either."

       Frowning she turns away and picks up two packs that had been thrown to the side.  Making a quick hand motion she silently tells me take the lead.  Looking from my childhood friend I glance towards the sky I can't see then look into the darkness of the forest as we take our first step towards the south together.

       Holding out and unlit tourch Ahli says, "Saum a nta t phleung.*" and it quickly light up illuminating a small part of the world around us leading to surer steps ahead of us.

AN:  Been a while and I apologize, but for those who dont know (don't think many would)  the weird language Ahli is speaking  is Khmer which I got from  google translate.  So all she said is:

Preah ning preqhcheamcheasa nei thommocheate phtal brak kamchi aoy khnhom thamopl robsa anak khnhom saum karpar anak del now choumuinh khnhom cheamuoy nung kamleang robsa anak.  

Gods and goddesses of nature lend me your power, let me protect those around me with your stength.

Vetomon 

magic

Preah phleung chuoy yeung! 

Gods of fire help us!

 Preahcheaumcheasa nei phendei chuoy yeung!

Goddess of earth help us!

Saum a nta t phleung.

Fire please.

So Khmer will be the language used by the anak brae vetomon or magic users.  Hope you enjoyed and will leave a comment of some sort! :D
