Statera *Chosen At Birth*

Chapter Fifty-two

David sighed to himself as a vampire loomed ever closer to him with a large battle axe to the ready, David groaned before avoiding the sharp blade from hitting his delicate clothing and skin. When the vampire lunged the battle axe again, David's trident formed from his aura and he parried the blade which jerked him back some. Looking at the bottom of his trident where another set of forks pointed at the ground, Daniel twisted the weapon so that the bottom forks slashed at the Vampire's face before getting hit with the final blow.

    "You have three spikes on the top and bottom of the trident?" Daniel asked not wanting to believe the new found skill his brother now had.

    "Yeah after last time I decided to upgrade my weaponry. It even comes apart in the middle turning into two smaller ones." David demonstrated pressing a button in the middle that released a notched part of the one weapon that held the two pieced together. Shaking his head in disbelief, Daniel refocused on the fight leaving David alone once more to guide civilians away from the fight.

    "Shit!" David exclaimed as he ducked under another, bigger, battle axe. Once more the curved blade honed in one him, which he blocked after putting the two tridents into one whole trident once more. Stunned for a moment, David watched as he saw the owner of the weapon as a women. He jumped back and tried to decide what he should do. Disarm her and leave someone else to deal with her? Kill her like he would anything else? He winced waiting for her advance, but as soon as her left foot left the ground Sakra charged and scooped up the women in her jaws. She growled loudly while shaking the body before throwing it aside, "That works." David laughed with relief animals didn't count... he hoped.

    Disturbed from his thoughts a vampire with a great sword swiped the broad blade across David stomach only to scratch his shirt and nothing else. David put his hand over the torn fabric and checked for blood and exhaled when there wasn't any. With the adrenaline pumping through him he knew he wouldn't feel an injury right away.  Behind him he heard the footsteps of someone running towards him. He heard the metal rub against the mystery creature's sheath as it got closer to him, "Right two." David said separating the trident into two smaller ones. He launched a bright green orb at the vampire, knocking him to the ground and then David twisted his body to stop a longsword from coming down onto his head.

    David instinctively kicked the human's stomach, knocking him back a few feet so that David could get distance. With a small amount of space between them, the human unsheathed another longsword and held to in his hands, "Interesting." David said to himself as the two of them sized each other up. Making the first lunge, the human swung one of the longswords that David caught with the fork on one of the tridents. David waved the weapon over to the side leaving both of them only one arm to fight with. Quickly David twisted the man's occupied wrist causing him to drop the sword that was still caught in the fork. The sword clattered to the ground as the man doubled back moving his wrist around to ease the pain. The human swung his sword at David, who hooked it with his trident bringing it to the side. David twisted to that he was able to knock the man in the face with his elbow and then plunged the trident into the stunned man's stomach. Before the vampire could regain his footing from David's spell, David smashed the two of them together violently and then threw the trident at the vampire like a spear that hit home.

    Hearing a faint moaning behind him, Daniel rolled his eyes and turned around to see three zombies walking towards him. He formed another trident with his aura and separated it into two and threw them at two of the zombies' heads. With the last one, he speared it in the head and nearly gagged when the head disconnected from the body and stayed on the forks. Instead of taking the head off, he just dropped it on the ground and left it in the middle of the street. Scanning what was left, David's attention was brought up to the sky as a gigantic white own covered dragon wailed loudly before landing on the ground near Daniel. David quickly rushed over along with Sakra, who felt the urgency in his aura.
