Terraria: The Calamity

Bones and Swords

  Suddenly, Seth's armour became light and his sword wasn't heavy anymore.
  He quickly rolled out of the way just before Skeletron hit him. Seth's foot was just inches away from touching the skull.
  Arrows and feathers rained onto Skeletron, striking the bony head.
  Skeletron said,"You all are really persistent."
  "We don't plan on giving up anyways!" Seth charged at the skull.
  Skeletron dashed towards Seth, leaving behind a shadowflame trail.
  Seth ran into the flames and collapsed, the moment he got out of the inferno.
  Skeletron spun towards Seth but Miles and Stella fired volleys of arrows at the skull.
  "Just stop trying!" Skeletron roared as it charged at Miles and Stella.
  The two quickly rolled away, dodging the attack.
  Violet fired more arrows and feathers at the skull, making it shout,"Just stop it!"
  "And just what would that do for us!?" Violet asked.
  Skeletron let out a roar of frustration. Suddenly, its arms reappeared.
  Violet tried to get away but one of the arms grabbed her.
  The other arm reached for Seth, but he rolled out of the way before it reached him.
  Seth quickly got up but then he was jerked backwards, he turned around and saw the bony hand clutching onto his leg.
  Seth was flung into the air. All of a sudden, the bony hand grabbed his body and gently squeezed him.
  "Not so brave now, are you?" Skeletron mocked Seth.
  Seth tried to wiggle free from the bony hand, but its grip was too strong.
  Violet shouted,"Why don't you fight us, coward?"
  Skeletron cackled and replied,"No, I don't think I will."
  Violet growled in frustration and tried to writhe free from the hand.
  "Now die." Skeletron said.
  Seth felt the bony hand compress him harder and he began gasping for air.
  "Let them go!" Miles shouted as he climbed back onto the platform.
  Skeletron stared as him with confusion and laughed.
  "You're gonna stop me?" Skeletron mocked Miles.
  "Oh I will!" Miles charged towards Skeletron.
  However, in the middle of the platform, there was a hole.
  Miles fell through the hole with a shout of surprise.
  "Is this all you have?" Skeletron asked the two, who were being crushed by the two hands.
  Seth nodded slightly.
  "Anyways, time to die." Skeletron laughed.
  Skeletron's hands compressed them harder, making them gasp for air.
  Seth's Molten Armour cracked as the hand slowly crushed the armour plating.
  "Enjoying this?" Skeletron asked.
  "Not one bit!" Seth's helmet fell off his head.
  Seth squirmed out from his armour and unsheated his Wind Blade.
  Skeletron's skull spun towards him but Seth dodged the attack, he then threw his Wind Blade at the arm holding Violet.
  The arm fell to the platform in multiple pieces, Violet landed on the ground and fired a volley of arrows and feathers at Skeletron.
  "Stop this!" Skeletron's other hand tried to grab them.
  Seth pulled out his Corrupted Crusher Blade and blocked the arm, before he destroyed it.
  Seth pointed his sword at Skeletron.
  "Let's finish this!" Seth lunged towards Skeletron, letting out a battle cry.
  Skeletron spun towards Seth and let out a roar of rage.
  Seth drank an Ironskin Potion, followed by a Wrath Potion.
  Skeletron left a shadowflame trail in his wake, it then summoned cursed skulls that homed in on Seth.
  Suddenly, a volley of arrows, feathers and cyclones struck Skeletron. The skull fell to the ground in pieces.
  Seth landed on the ground and turned to the source of the volley.
  He saw Stella, Violet and Miles holding their weapons pointed at the air above him.
  "Come on guys, I was having my epic moment!" Seth shouted.
  "Idiot, you would've died if you touched that thing." Violet retorted.
  "Fair." Seth replied.
  Miles chuckled at Seth's predicament.
  "Well it's time to go in there." Stella pointed to the door that led into the Dungeon.
  "Okay, I guess..." Seth replied.   
  Seth was scared of what they  might find in there.
  "Don't worry, we'll be fine." Violet assured him.
  "Let's go." Stella walked into the Dungeon, followed by the others.
  Seth hesitantly walked into the building, he then glanced behind him and muttured a silent prayer.
  Seth then shut the door behind him.
