Lovely Sword

Episode 8- Concealed Memories

:The screen opens to the mountain forest in the outskirts of Arkah. Leifu and Hellios stood across ten Giant horsemen. The horsemen dismount from their horses and step towards them. Leifu clinched her claymore and shield while looking at them:

Leifu- Stop what you're doing, now!

Giant Horseman- Who are these people?

:One of the cloaked men point at Leifu and Hellios while the other cloaked men grab the baskets. The sound of the toddler's crying were heard while the men prepared to hurl the baskets over the cliff:

Cloaked Giant- Toss the children! The ceremony must be complete!

Leifu- No!

:Leifu runs toward the cliff but one of the giant horsemen blocks her path and bashes her back with his large shield. Leifu is sent flying to the ground while Hellios runs to her side and looks at the opposing giant:

Leifu- Ngh...So strong...!

Hellios- They're fully trained, adult giants...They won't go easy on you.

:One of the men tosses the basket over the gorge as Leifu gasped in shock. She yells out as she jumps back to her feet and runs towards the giant blocking her way:

Leifu- Move it!!

Giant Horseman- Hmph. Make me...

:Three giants advance towards Hellios as he gets into a defensive stance. One giant yells and swings his axe at Hellios, but Hellios nimbly deflects the attack with his sword and counters by cutting the giant across his armor. The blade did not pierce the plated armor, but made a significant dent. The giant looks at his armor, then at Hellios, and chuckled at his attack:

Giant- Feeble human...Flank him!

:The other two giants surround Hellios's left and right as they all attack at once. Hellios's eyes flash as his blade begins to glow:

Hellios- Nameless brutes such as yourself can not possibly match my might...Blinding Cut!!

:In the blink of an eye, Hellios dashed to his left and right while streaks of light cut across each of the three giants. Hellios then sheaths the sword as hundreds of slashes cut each of the giants into bloody pieces. Leifu locks blades with the giant in front of her as she struggled to match his strength:

Giant Horseman- Hmhmhm...not bad for a woman...

Leifu- Sexist pig...!

:Leifu yells in anger while delivering powerful kick to the groin of the giant. The giant's eyes become crossed as he held his groin in pain. He drops to his knee's, near Leifu's eye level, and is smacked by the hilt of Leifu's sword. The giant falls to the ground as she hurries towards the cliff. Another basket was tossed of the cliff as Leifu looked at the cloaked men in anger:

Leifu- Stop that! Those children are innocent!!

:Leifu rushes towards them as the last basket was tossed off the cliff. She then tackles one of the cloaked men to the ground, mounts on top of him, and bashes the man's face with the hilt of her sword. She then lifts her sword in the air and brings it down on the shaman, but the shaman quickly takes a sword out from his side and locks blades with her. The hood came off, revealing an aged giant with a bloodied face after Leifu's strikes. Two other giant horsemen pull Leifu off of the man and throw her to the ground. She winces in pain while jumping back to her feet:

Giant Horseman- Her strength and vitality isn't that of a normal human...

:The bloodied giant staggers to his feet, holding his sleeve over his face:
