"so how have you been," she asks in a polite manner "good" I answer cautiously wary of her"why are you afraid," she asks "because you follow magic"I answer simply
"Anyway how am I alive," I ask
"I see you're being selfish Sapphire" she says "how are we alive then"well the simplest one is that the one you call weird one was wearing yellow dragon scale armour you I don't know and Ane technically isn't cured because there are only a few ways to stop dragon poison one of which is for them to see a unicorn however unicorns are so pure it sends most people crazy and the other way is for me to bind their blood with lovers of course both are impossible I bound your blood as it was readily available so it'll slow it down the bite marks were hard to cure also if you want work some bandits recently attacked a nearby settlement and took hostages to sell to the council due to the town being anti-council"she said "I'll take you up on your offer of work where is the bandits hideout

I look up to the cave. the dark one was definitely right I could see a torch from here I watched as the guidence spell wore off we finished our Trek walked in me and weird one at the front and Ane drawing a barbed wire tipped arrow the 1st to get to us was easily dispatched by weird one as she broke his leg sending him into her blade slitting his throat as he begins to choke and cough blood she stamps on his neck blocking his air as a dribble of blood seeps from his mouth another heads for me I slice causing their intestines to begin falling out they give one last swing at me I dodge it and they fall in a bloody pile now the others have worked out what's going on weird one draws her second blade I ready my sword and and Ane let's her arrow fly it hits it's mark as another fall's to it the arrow straight in the eye two flies at me I side step one but the second I grab the arm of snapping it their sword drops they barely have time to scream before they start to cough blood the other now staring me down one of their eyes had fallen out its socket starts to run only for weird one to grab them back stabbing them repeatedly as they beg her to stop when she does finally stop the person clings to Life for a mere second more a horrified look on their face their body mangled weird one takes pity and stabs them straight through the head ending their life the last bandit is laughing at weird one as if she's just made the funniest joke he's ether heard "your meant to be their saviours? A band of murderers" he asks in response I walk up kicking his leg out shoving his head in a nearby water trough almost drowning him then slitting his throat as the water dilutes turning the water bloody I look at the hostages and free them with a key I found on the last bandits clothes I look around and we start our journey to their town they tell us about an anti-council camp near their village we inform the dark one who we find out is called Sarianah when we arrive at the camp I smile we Go to the leader of this resistance "nice to see you again Sky could you please introduce me to our guests" he asks in a rather posh accent while also sounding like he's from Scoteland "yes sir "answers Sky "this is Ane she says pointing at Ane and this is Sapphire" "I am glad to make your acquaintance ally's I shall hope you are willing to join our cause if so report to dormitory 7 and await further instructions" "k" I answer. When we get there I have a look around at my friends and our home until we die or the council fall's "bagsie the bottom bed with the desk"sky shouts so I take the top bunk above Sky "wake me when we get orders" I ask  And then drift off I wake to find that Sky has gone presumably to see her father And Ane asleep when I get out of bed I see Sky has left a book out on her desk I decide not to be nosy about 1minute later I hear footsteps outside "we've got a job" she says swinging into the room "basically somebody went missing recently whilst scouting an area they had an unconfirmed accomplice we have to search the area they went missing"
"K well I'll wake Ane," I say "get up"
Ane wakes up bangs her head "a job" she asks "yep I say we'll explain on the way" I reply we Go grab horses and ride off to a little wood on the edge of council territory tie up our horses and step in we chat away happily only to find ourselves in an ambush I draw my sword and slice one as it springs from it's hiding "bloody council scum"I shout to Sky she understands positioning herself the other side of Ane both drawing their weapons I slay another one as they begin to circle us they suddenly Go on the attack Ane is the first to fall completely other welmed, weaker, And with no proper close range weapons she is punched in the face then thrown to the ground another chokes her out I begin to feel more getting hits on me and soon I find myself to other welmed somebody grabs my sword and shoves it in my arm another grabs my other arm before repeatedly punching me my last veiw before I either fainted from blood loss or was nocked unconscious was Ane slicing two peoples necks at once I wake to find myself stuck kneeling my sword raised to my neck Sky was lying down face first a circle of blood around her Ane teary eyed blood running from her arms multiple slashes on them then I see the Sick guy who probably caused them a high ranking council law enforcer smiling. my arms are bound together so I am forced to listen to what he says"hello dear your meant to be dead before that I thought I might play a game with you as you can see both of your friends are close to death you can choose which gets the next slice Ane has been playing for you till you woke up" he's interrupted by Sky trying to get up I see a great deal of hatred in her eyes as she looks at him talking to me he sees this too I try to look away but the person behind me grabs my head and forces me to watch he kicks her in the chest repeatedly for what feels like a minute by the end the pools grown "ah yes our game" he says"sorry I got a bit carried away there anyway who first you can choose yourself" I examine everyone Sky looks half dead already Ane is looking at me scared Sky looses conscionce I look down "Sky"I say telling myself that it's better if she dies knowing that I am just trying to save myself whilst saving my sanity I watch as he walks over to her I watch as he pulls her up so I can see her face and he draws a dagger he brushes her hair behind her I immediately regret my decision wanting to run at him stab him but I can't" where should I stab her hmm" he says he says whilst neatening her up I watch as he wipes away tears that when I realize she's awake and he's asking me my bottom lip begins to shake " the hand" I say realising how much I want them both to live I'm forced to watch as she screams out in pain as he grabs her slices straight across it Ane wimpers next to me both me and Sky want to comfort her but we can't think of the right words other than it'll be other soon And even that's a lie.
