The sound of two forces clashing together erupted outwards like a volcano, the sound deafening and spreading accross the land. Kane cut through two of the creatures and then began to fight his way thorugh the corrupted mess, one jumped into his view his person like the rest carried no swords or shields. Kane looked at it confusion registered in his eyes and mind, on its face as it looked at him was a grin which soon turned into an evil smirk as a sword and shield formed from its arms. Taking a step back Kane looked at it astonished, it begins to laugh madly as Kane looked around to find his men begining to be slaughtered by the rest of the creatures who was now also forming swords and shield from there arms.
Kane quickly turned back as the creature in front of him lifted his sword upwards then quickly brought it downwards heading straight for Kanes chest, Kane lifted his shield in quick time to block the attack. Going in for an attack of his own swinging his sword and cutting the head off of the creature before it could do another attack, it stood there headless for a few seconds before eventually falling to the ground dead and unmoving. Kane growled with annoyance, he did not expect this from the enemy, he whispered to himself "This has never happened before in any of our previous battles with them they have changed significantly ...." he soon gets interrupted as another one tries to attack him, he retalliated quickly blocking and stabbing into the creature but it didnt fall to the floor dead. Kane pulled his sword out from its body as it stood there laughing mockingly. This being the creatures biggest mistake as Kane cuts it in half causing it to fall to the floor dead. Turning he shouts out "They cannot be killed by simply stabbing your sword into them you must cut them in half or chop of their head!!!" his soldiers reacted to his words by cutting the creatures that stood in front of them in half. The creatures let out a horrendous shriek and fell in two pieces on the floor.
The battle went on for hours time passing quickly as many bodies lay on the blood soaked ground from both sides, Kane looked over at Zalarian who was in the middle of cutting down one of the creatures as he then looked over at Kane grinning at him, Kane reacts by pretending to yawn with a small smirk on his face. Frustrated Zalarian kept his gaze on Kane as Kane watched him, "Zalarian look out!" he shouted in a warning, Zalarian pauseed then looked round to see one of the bigger creatures that arrived from the thunder towering over him just as it raised its hand up to back hand him hard, causing him to go flying into the air then hitting into the ground causing a small ditch around his body at the force of the hit. Kane ran over to him looking concerned which quickly vanished when Zalarian sat up slowly, "Zalarian are you OK?" Kane asks hiding his worry. "Yeah....Yeah I’m fine" Zalarian answered rubbing his head trying to ease the headache. Kane stood looking at the creature as it looked back -taking on his hidden starring contest- smiling evilly as its aura grew. Kane raised his sword and shield and proceeded to walk forwards in its direction. The creature looked at him and formed his arm into a sword, causing Kane to pick up his pace and cut into the creature but only half way. Its laugh echoed as its body started to heal itself.
The creature turned fast and swung its sword at Kane who quickly lifts his shield in defence, the sword and shield clashed together creating a small spark of silver, Kane fell to the ground at the power of the swing thinking to himself, 'Damn this thing's tough'. The creature raised its sword and swings down causing Kane to counter using his shield yet again to protect himself, angry the creature repeatedly hit down onto Kane's shield with his sword causing the sheild to dent from the force of the angry hits. The creature lifted up for another hit but Kane rolled back knowing his sheild was nearly done for. Standing to his feet and with blinding speed he dashed forward and cut the creature in half; it stayed stood for a few seconds before collapsing into two pieces on the blood covered ground.
Kane looked in Zalarians direction smiling as Zalarian looked back at him with amazement, "Wow....So fast" Zalarian complimented as Kane let out a small laugh and rested his dripping sword apon his shoulder. Zalarian smiled but then his gaze noticed something behind Kane, "Look out!!" Kane turned to see what Zalarian was going on about, one of the creatures stood there with a old white staff in his hand, his complexion looked different from the others. He wore an dark blue robe that looked almost black and with the symbols of dark magic all over it. The creature raised its arm and a large light was fired from the staff hitting Kane dead on in the chest, Kane collapsed as the creature dissapeared. Zalarian stood to his feet quickly, "Kane...Kane!!" he shouted causing many Paladins to look his way before they fought there way over. He looked around "Where the hell are the Paladins? What the hell is taking so long!" he yelled frustrated as he made his way over to kane. Kneeling down he shook Kane trying to get a responce soon medical units and Paladins arrived and took him away as the war still raged on.
Few hours later
Kane awoken to find himself staring up at a unfamiliar white wall, looking round his vision blurred as he took in the whiteness of the room and the screams and shouts of soldiers in pain he could hear from where he lay. Gaining focus again he looked to his right watching as wounded soldiers were being treated for their injuries by nurses and doctors. His head snapped round when he hears a female voice "Seems hes not dead then." He saw Amura and Zalarian standing there looking at him smiles sketched onto their faces. "Zalarian? Amura? Whats going on? What happened?" he somewhat demanded. Zalarian took a few steps forward and sat down in the seat next to Kane's bed deciding he would answer his questions. "Your in the medical ward, you got hit with a pretty nasty spell by a Mage luckily there was a group of Paladins near by so they could get you to safety and help." Zalarian explained the best he could. Kane sat up quickly with a panicked expression on his face before it turned to a grim frown. "Did we win?," he asked causing Amura to smile "We wouldn't be here if we didnt now would we?" He lets out a sigh of relief as an answer to her rhetorical question and layed back down exhausted already.
At Night
Kane slept carmly for a while but he suddenly became restless and began to wriggle about. "Mmm... No! No!" he mumbled quietly as his dream quickly became a nightmare. When he got attacked and hit passed through his mind but also flashes of not the past and present but of the future followed after it. He watched helplessly as the humans lost the war allowing the corrupt elves to take over the world, killing men women and children in revenge; only letting others live if they were worthy enough to become slaves. The world plunged into darkness as everything was destroyed as he watched his friends Zalarian and Amura being killed. Kane woke up sweating and breathing heavily. "Argh!!" he clutched his chest in pain, as it felt as though something was being branded into his skin, he stood up shaking and walked to the mirror that was hanging on the wall. Kane looked at his reflection to see a black pentacle tatoo on his upper left chest where he was shot from the light that came out of the staff. He touched it causing a burning feeling run through his veins. Letting out a scream of pain -waking up all the other sleeping soldiers who were recovering- he fell to his knees and collapsed to the floor. His breathing laboured and slow. With every breath it got slower...
