The End-Days War

Chapter 6: Survive the Night

Ragnar, Iris and Delphine escape the hands of the Daedra who were chasing after them and desired bloody vengeance against them. Delphine explains to the both of them that she is a Warrior who lives by the Sword and dies by the Sword. They get chased again by the Daedra afterwards as the vengeance continued on in the Day as it rained heavily on them. Iris gets wounded and Ragnar offers her aid and comfort as they hide from the Storm that raged on for quite some time. As they head out again, Ragnar gives Iris a Steel Dagger for her to always keep and never let it go.
This Dark Fantasy Epic of which you have been reading will soon reach it's Climax and it's resolution for the things to come. I have watched these people get stronger each day as a new Demon dies and another rises from it's place. This blood-soaked Journey that Ragnar has will only continue onward and it will probably never end. Perhaps he is also cursed to live like Delphine until every last one of these Demons has been defeated by the Sword. But that day has not come, now realize the Stars they die, Darkness has fallen in paradise, but they will be strong and they will fight against the creatures of the Night. Farewell, for now.

The Sky became dark and the Moon was our and they kept walking on this long and Dark Road that went Ever on and on. As they continued walking, Iris felt weak and she could not keep up with Ragnar. The wound that was inflicted on Iris prevented her from going any faster or as fast as Ragnar was going. It wasn't a heavy wound but it was one that would leave one in a state of heavy dizziness and all they could feel were their own wound. And so, Ragnar and Iris kept walking, they kept going on the Long Road that was before them as it led onward.
The Road wasn't an endless Road, but it was indeed a Road that went on for a very long time and seemed to never end. Then, Iris falls to the ground and breathes in and breathes out for she could not go on because of the state that she was in. Then, Ragnar walks towards Iris and he spoke with her, saying, "What's wrong? Can you walk?"
"I... I'm fine. It... it's nothing," She answered.
Then, Ragnar holds out his hand towards Iris to pull her up as she was struggling to move any further than before.
           "Here, I got you," He said.
Then, Iris grabbed his hand and Ragnar pulled her up, and she felt the wound that was inflicted upon her as she was getting up. Then, she puts her Arm on Ragnar's shoulder and she rests her head on his shoulder as she was trying to figure out what else to say.
           "It... it hurts," She said.
"Try not to mess with it," Ragnar said. "You've been shot with a Demonic Arrow. Their arrows are tainted and they burn your body for a good while. It doesn't kill you, but it leaves you feeling all dozed up. Had they already killed you, we wouldn't be having this conversation. But it doesn't matter to the Daedra or the Demons whether you're a Woman or not. We are Rangers and Hunters and we must always fight back against those who have done greater damage to us. No matter what happens, we will not leave a battlefield until every last one of our enemies are dead. You understand that, don't you?"
Then Iris catches and slows down her breath for the wound was small but it was draining her from her strength. Then, she looked at Ragnar and she spoke with him, saying, "... Let's get going."
And so, they went on; Ragnar and Iris walked on this long and Dark Road to wherever it lead and wherever it will leave them. Once again, the air was clear and the Moon was full, Ragnar and Iris walked on for there was no other way to go or wherever to look next. Ragnar and Iris could not hear anything, other than Owls hooting in the background, and they also heard the Crows making noises as they flew in the Woods. They ignore the many sounds that the Animals make during this time and they kept moving forward and not looking back. The forest was always a peaceful place for the animals, unlike the other roads on the many fields and mountains where unexpected could easily be grabbed and eaten by that animal.
The forest and grass never stood a chance against Ragnar and Iris, they did not look back to their past mistakes and they kept walking on this Long Road. Then a moment later, Ragnar stopped walking when he heard something strange yet violent walking towards them.
           "We've stopped. What is it?" Iris asked.
"Stay behind me," Ragnar answered.
Iris did not know what he was talking about, but then, she also began to hear something walking towards them. Then, there were sounds of footsteps on the Road, and there were also sounds of shrieking coming Before them. It was the Daedra led by Hadvar, the Daedric General and Shield Thane to The Daedric Lord Azura. The Daedra stared down at Ragnar and Iris as they were ready to kill them, they made shrieking sounds and gnashes their teeth.
           "There is an Army of them," Iris said. "Where did they all come from?"
"We have found you!" Hadvar Shouted.
Hadvar steps down and he walks slowly towards Ragnar and Iris as they both stood there and stare at him.
           "So, you're alive!" He Shouted. "You indeed put a smile on my face!"
"You're looking lively yourself!" Ragnar said.
"Such impudence!" Hadvar Shouted, "Luck or not, I'm through being given a hard time by a lowlife lout like you!"
           He moves much closer towards them as they stand there and not knowing of the Danger that will befall them.
