Dueling Fate

Chapter Eleven - A Broken Promise

Suuup. How you guys doin? I'm currently finishing the first book in real life. Hopefully I can start on the second book soon while I type up these chapters. Gonna chill with the video games for now. I keep getting side tracked by them. Oh, and I might start another book series. MIGHT. I may not. I don't know. I'll think about it.

Chapter Eleven - A Broken Promise

"I hope your ready Halflight." Tsorig said, stepping up onto the balcony overseering the army. I stood next to him, valor in my heart.

We were one hundred thousand strong. Fort Amol was estimated to only have nearly eightyfive thousand demons. The odds seemed to be in our favor. However, no one knows the future. No one knows their fate...

"Attention everyone!" Tsorig announced. "Today is the day we take Fort Amol. Today, we reclaim what is rightfully ours. Today, humanity takes another step foward in defeating Luciifer. God make us fast and give us strength. For Yggdrasil!"

The army cheered on in promise victory. A fire burned in their brave souls. They were all ready to give up everything to end Lucifer's reign. They were true Knights.

An hour later, we began our march. Shinoa gave me a saddened goodbye. I could tell she was scared. Scared that I'd get hurt again. Now that I think about it, this was the first time I've left her side since our reunion. I won't lie. I'm scared too. Not for myself, but for Shinoa. I know damn well she can hold her own, but there's just so many "what if" situations going around my head. Damn...

General Tsorig's PoV

We're here. Three hours of marching passed and now here we stood before Fort Amol. The soldiers got into formation and awaited my command.

"Ready Halflight?" I asked, giving a knock on his helmet.

"Always." He replied, death in his voice.

I filled my lungs with air, mustered all of my rage, drew my sword and shouted,

"Charge!"

Shinoa's PoV

It's been nearly five hours since Halflight left. The fear of losing him swarmed me. Halflight, you promised me... please come back safe...

King Eldritche's PoV

Halflight, I know you'll bring victory to WinterFall. Your abilities are unmatched and you've got the soul of a hero. Today, you're the reason why we can take this step foward. God speed...

Halflight's PoV

Blood... it was everywhere. I was covered in it head to toe. So much of it, I couldn't even tell if some of it was my own...

"Push them back!" An officer shouted with a far away voice.

Every second I'm out here, I'm swinging a sword, killing demons. There were so many of them. I lost count of how many I've slain atleast an hour ago. No matter, don't count, just kill. Though, I'm sure it's in the hundreds...

"Let go..." a dark voice called.

No... not again... not now...

"Let go of everything..."

Get out of my mind. I can't deal with you right now. I'm busy...

"Kill them..."

I...I...

"Every last one of them!"

My mind went blank as my vision grew hazy. My body was moving on automatic. It felt like I was losing control over my own body. What is this?
