SACRIFICE TO THE MOON (Completed) #Wattys2020

CHAPTER 27

        Freya slashed her dagger against the demi-god who countered intelligently.
She wished she was better equipped with a superior blade for the range of her dagger deprived her of any advantage.
The demi-god swung his blade at Freya aiming for her head, as expected she leaned backwards while the blade passed just inches above her face.
        Quickly, the demi-god pivoted his blade and brought it down hard on her.
Freya blocked the blow with her dagger but the inferiority of her weapon did little or nothing to stop the vibration from travelling down her arm. Without giving her time to recover, the demi-god dealt another blow which sent Freya to the ground.
      She writhed on the ground in a bid to escape the demi-gods blade. She wasn't naive enough to believe she would get out of the fight unscathed.
      To survive, she knew she would have sacrifice something. With a great deal of courage, she kept still. The demi-god did not hesitate in aiming for her heart.
      She anticipated the blow and when it came, she threw her knees in-between her chest and the blade.
      The force of the blow broke through her femur and dismantled her pattellofemoral grove.
      She paid no heed to her almost amputated knee and threw her dagger.
     The blade flew true, the demi-god's head jerked violently as the dagger embedded itself in his forehead killing him almost instantly.
       Waya led the two demi-gods downtown. Then the anger him, the idea of Poseidon sending wave after wave of killers after him enraged him.
     It was different then they attacked him on the moon but attacking him in his own parents home crossed a line.
     In an instant, he whirled around to face them. He didn't flinch when they charged at him blade first.
    Just as he had done countless times he grabbed both blades in his hands and broke them clean in half.
     He collided his head against Amykos, an impact which sent a burning sensation up his brain.
    The force of the impact sent Amykos stumbling backwards, Amykos' first son delivered brutal high kick to Waya's jaw causing the prince of the moon to literally see stars.
    Waya ignored the raw pain, with everything he had, he barged his shoulders into the demi-god, sending both of them to the ground.
    He quickly reached for the demi-gods neck and with frightening power, he collapsed his oesophagus, leaving the demi-god to fruitlessly grasp for breath.
    Amykos watched his son's unrelenting struggle for breath. He knew it was of no use.
     Both Waya and Amykos watched as the demi-god died of suffocation.
     Amykos clenched his fist in rage and glared at Waya with blood thirsty eyes.
