The Girl in the Cloak

Heart

As quickly as she could the girl in the cloak charged Ordik. He swatted her away like a fly when she came in range. She bounced on the ground before hitting the wall she was swatted towards.

"Silly girl. Did I hear you say, mother? Not possible, I know Fa's daughter is dead. So who might you be really?" The girl struggled to catch her breath. She looked over at Ordik standing high and mighty above all in the room. She knew fighting him would be hard. She looked over to Fa and grew worried as she lay limp on the ground.

"Why are you doing this? What is the point?" Ordik laughed and started towards Fa. He picked her up and showed her to the girl. Blood dripped from her limp body. He dropped her only to kick her.

"Stop!" She charged Ordik again. Her only reward was a knee to the gut. She gasped for air as a fist bashed into her face. The uppercut sent her rolling into the ground.

"Who are you!" Ordik's rage showed on his face openly. The girl couldn't figure out what she had done.

"I don't know!" The revelation seemed to get under the Horric's skin even more. The girl forced herself to get back up onto her feet. As she did the cloak started to engulf her.

"Is that what I think it is? Do you have a part of the un...." Ordik's words were cut off as the fully engulfed girl tackled him full force. The duo drove Ordik through the stone railing of the stairs. They fell a short distance with the girl landing on top of Ordik. She wasted no time using her position to her advantage. She hurled a barrage of strikes down upon the Horric man. "You seem fun." His voice was slightly muffled behind his guard but the engulfed girl could understand him. She was getting frustrated. Every strike she tried he blocked. She had no clue what to do but knew she had to do something. Ordik laughed and slid a punch between two of her attempted strikes. It landed flush on her chin. Everything went black for a second then came back to her, but by then she had already been flipped. Ordik was laughing while sitting mounted on her stomach throwing punch after punch, switching punches location at random. Hitting her head then hitting her chest only to follow up with an arm then back to the head. The Horrics laughter echoed in throughout the room. The sound chilled her bones worse than the mad Horric had.

"Focus little one. We will not be defeated today. Remember we do not have to win only save Fa." The girl recognized the truth of the cloak's words. Till now she was fighting to get revenge. She decided she would fight to live. She first focused on speed. Her strikes were already not doing enough damage to kill, but maybe they could do enough to stagger. As Ordik started to get up she sprinted over and kicked him across the face with all of her might. The combination of speed and power successfully blacked out his vision for a moment as well. She started towards the downed Fa, but she wasn't fast enough. Somehow Ordik was already waiting there for her. She didn't hesitate like her fear begged her to. Instead, she harnessed the fear and lashed out at the Horric man. She kept her mouth tightly closed and started after him. Throwing basic combinations that never landed she was successful at pushing the man back. Just as she started to feel fully confident with her skills Ordik swept her legs out from under her. He burst out laughing and stomping away at her. She rolled back and forth knowing she couldn't take a single full hit. She looked up into his eyes and saw pure glee and delight. It dawned on her just then, he wasn't trying at all. He was only playing with her. She took a moment and looked over at Fa. A puddle had formed under her, but the girl thought she saw her move for a moment. "She is still alive," the girl thought.

"FAAAAA!" the girl screamed with all of her might as she started to dash towards the body of her friend. As she ran towards her Fa rolled over and threw her rainbow sword to the girl. The blade flew past her head. She spun around and grabbed the hilt perfectly ready to attack. She chopped at the Horric man three times. His laughter stopped as he rushed over to the throne in the room. He reached over as the girl chased after him and just in time met her blade with his own. It was a greatsword made of black metal. Through the entire blade ran veins with blood pumping through them. Just at the place, the blade met the hilt sat a heart like a jewel. It pumped as if fully alive.
