Blood Shed (FOR HONOR)

Chapter 13: All's fair in Blood and War

[ Bellona's POV ]

- Present Day

After another three days of marching, we finally reach the battle field. Apollyon's castle. It reeked of blood, and war. I would love to end this now. " Attack! " a viking shouted. Anheuser swinging his sword and knocking him down. " Shut the hell up. Arschloch. " 

I could hear him his brother Christ'an speaking from his distance in which he has stood. He hissed, and Anheuser slapped his hand onto his chest-plate speaking back to him. If they weren't  conversing in German I would be able to understand.

Camilla and the other men looked like they had wished of fight, itching to be released from the invisible chains that held the attached. I could see the monster behind Anheuser's metal visor. I could see the anger. The wolf  in him.

[ Narrator's POV ]

All the while to standing there, the monster in all of them had released, and charged. Bellona, Camilla. Sigrid. Christ'an. The vikings, and Samurai. No mercy was held when charging to them, all there was left behind the was blood.

Bellona reached guard along the gates charging and locking blades with him. Her foot reached up and kicked him into the gut, staggering him back, he swung her staff left, the jabbed him at right, however he never gave in. He continued his ways of attack. 

" If they death doesn't strike.. " she said, watching him close in the eyes. " I do. " her blade slice up, and same straight down, slashing through his neck and collar bone. Another enemy down. Anheuser, on the other hand was somewhere to the side, smashing his hilt into someone's head. His eyes burned like a wildfire as he watched the blood leave his neck. 

The thousands of men who charged at Apollyon's gate had awaited her arrival into war, but where was she? 
" Camilla? Where's My brother"? Anheuser asked meeting his friend.
" I saw him and a group of Knights go to the Shard". Camilla pointed forward. " The Shard? Lord Almighty forgive me for my disgrace of Your Name but God Damnit Christ'an you're always so aggressive and stubborn"! Anheuser muttered grabbing  his Sword, " Alright. You stay and help Bellona advance the Fort. KNIGHTS OF THE IRON LEGION! TO ME"! He yelled again holding his Sword in the air. The nearby knights roared with Moral and followed the Warden.

[ Bellona's POV ]
( Real quick)
I dashed Forward to Camilla, though we had our issues we were decent.. friends.. I tugged on her arm.
" I heard him yelling, where's he going"? I asked. " He's going to save his brother. Christ'an was always the aggressive one". " Both of them are aggressive". I retorted. Camilla chuckled, " Yeah but Anheuser thinks it through". I shook my head and we carried on.

[ Narrator's POV]
The bold knights went forward and found a corpse party: Bodies of Knights and Samurai alike.. bloody, mutilated.. One would easily gag or barf alright. Clashing and swears were heard. Anheuser found his brother, a blade in his side, blood drained. " Christ'an! Who did this! Mien Brüder! Who..."? Anheuser wept as his brother barely breathed. " I love you Brother... Tell our.. Family, I lo-love them..". Christ'an gave his brother a pat on the shoulder before he gave in. Anheuser lifted his Visor and kissed his brothers head. " Rest now.. You're in Heaven now Brother. Go... Go be with Vada and ma.. Go to them.. With God..", Anheuser kissed his brothers head again and choked back a sob. " Deus in Regnium.. Go with God. I love you Brother.. I love you". Anheuser put his brothers hands together with his cross necklace.

Flash Back- Anheuser POV

" Daddy I can't wait Until I get a knight in shining armor to come marry me and make me happy like you and mama"! Helga giggled hugging her father's leg. Anheuser chuckled and hugged her back. " You know Helga, a knight in shining armor has never had his armor tested. Your father has. And he still lives". Christ'an told rubbing her head. " Your uncle speaks truth", he knelt to his daughters level, " You'll find your knight. But his Armor better not be shiny". He chuckled kissing her forehead.
End of Flashback-

Anheuser rose and looked to the stairs, he went up and saw an Iron Legion knight get stabbed in his back.
" Appolyon". He said looking to the source. " A Warden. With Spiked Shoulders and coal black armor. Yes. You're the Wolf I saw years ago. Have you come to aid me in the assault on my Walls"? She asked walking down the stairs. Anheuser pointed his blade to her, " You killed my Brother. Now I'm going to kill you". He said with malice in his tone. " Ahh. The wolf has fangs... Come then Anheuser. Warden of The Busch Family". Anheuser's eyes widened. 'She knows my name. She might hurt my family'!
Anheuser charges Forward swinging Vertically. Appolyon parried it and went for a diagonal slice, Anheuser turned away from it and swung. Their swords clashed as they stared each other down. " Let it out. The anger. Your brother did". Appolyon taunted. Anheuser pushed her back and swung right horizontal. Appolyon ducked under it, and shoved Anheuser to the floor. He went to get up, but Appolyon just kicked him down to a lower balcony.

Anheuser hit the floor like a rock and his helmet fell off, he could see the Knights fighting with Samurai, Vikings and other knights. " War. This is what shall be. This is the Age of Wolves Anheuser....and you are definitely one of the best". Appolyon chuckled dropping down. Anheuser stood up, his face battered and bloodied. His beard stained, but he still fought. " You are going to Die Appolyon. You will join the Devil in his hell, you have forsaken God, and yourself"! Appolyon went and struck at Anheuser, he blocked it but she continued to press her blade, it began to pierce his arm. " Do you feel that Warden.. That's going to get alot worse". Appolyon said glaring into his pained eyes. He stood strong, Anheuser grabbed her blade, and began to pull it out. Appolyon chuckled, Anheuser then bashed her hand twice to loosen her grip, which worked. He then pulled out the sword and kicked her away. He took his Sword and stabbed her arm, " You killed my Brother"! She tripped him and got up, she took her sword and threw his back to him. " Yes. He was a wolf but you're the alpha". She teased. Anheuser grabbed the sword and charged, Appolyon swung horizontally and Anheuser slid under it and stabbed Appolyon in her gut but she pushed him away. He then charged again, she blocked his repetitive swings.

Bellona looked up from the bridge bellow, she could see the rage in his eyes, and the pain in his heart.

Anheuser finally broke her guard and kicked her down, she used her sword to stand up but Anheuser kicked her into the railing, she looked up and saw the anger in his eyes. He stabbed her in her chest, right in the middle. She coughed and he saw the blood drip from under her helmet.
" If you're the God of War, then I'm the Angel of Death..". He said pulling out his Sword, he looked to her, then limped over to the other railing. He knelt down and layed his Sword in front of him, " I'm sorry I couldn't save you Brother.. but you are in a better land. You are with God, and the Son almighty, And I thank you Lord, All righteous Father, for blessing me with a great life and family, and for giving me the strength in life to carry on... Thank you Father... Amen". He looked up to the sky, and slightly turned his head to see Camilla and Bellona with other warriors. He chuckled and fell over from exhaust, he ended it. He killed Appolyon.. and now the world must heal, he must heal..
