Vahn Roughnight · Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2004 6:24 am Post subject: Loss of a Friend

Opening my rune book I traveled home to rest. As I got home I heard the clash of sword against stone, sounds of fire, and sounds of energy. Quickly I unsheathed my sword and ran to my front door. As I reached the door I heard a scream of pain, a thud, then nothing. As I flung the heavy metal doors open I saw a warrior in full shadow plate armor holding a sword dripping in blood and a shield bearing the silver serpent. At his feet a man robed in black. Looking at the fallen man closely I recognized him as my good friend Matsu.

"You.... How dare you do this. You will pay for this warrior.." Vahn shouted.

"I must say....he was stronger than your father. But they all fall the same." the mysterious warrior said with some psycotic glee in his voice.

"Wh....what.....?!" vahn replied with shock and disbelief filling him.

"It couldnt be him. No....It couldnt but...that voice, that shield,...my father..."Vahn thought to himself.

"You will be next. I will find that sword and when I do I will make sure you have an painful death" the mysterious warrior spoke.

The unknown warrior took out a dark grey rune book, spoke a few words, then vanished. Still filed with disbelief and shock he dropped his sword and fell to his knee's. Looking over at his friend who lay dead Vahn clentched his hands into a fist and slammed his plate gloved hands on the floor. Looking up to the ceiling anger and sadness replaced the disbelief and shock.

"Nooooo!" Vahn screamed through out the estate.

Standing outside the Dark Adder I breath in the air. So much has happened since Matsu's death. That man even dared take the sword containing the trapped daemon Vaelenth within in with him. As my eyes slowly looked from the sky to between two buildings I saw him again.

"You....how dare you..." Vahn said as in disbelief he would show his face here. His armor seemed still battered from the fight with Matsu. My eye's seemed suddenly fixed to that shield, the one so described by my mother. Breaking my sight from his shield my eyes caught glimse of the sword taken from me.

"Filthy lightbringer..." Akuma said with spite.

"The sword....give it back now. Vaelenth cant be released. Give it back now...or else" Vahn spoke to Akuma. As Akuma spit on my armor his answear became clear. Even more he had disgraced me and the code of the knights I hold dear.

"You..me...up stairs now.." said then turned around. Turing around suddenly he faced Akuma and spoke four words, "or are you chicken". They both walked up the two stair cases and stepped one by one onto the teleporter. Seeing as already two people were already dueling Akuma faced me and stared me down.

"Butchering your family was enoyable, watching your old man dieas i run him through was exquisite. But seeing your mother die was much more enjoyable. I took pleasure killing them as I till take pleasure killing you." akuma said strangly calm. Seeing the competitors leave the dueling area I stared at him and spoke only three words in anger "Get in...now".

As we both stepped in I pointed my sword at Akuma and said "Two walk in, only one leaves". I tightened my grip on my sword and dashed towards him shield out front. As I dashed towards him he started to turn at me as well but I had the momentum. As out shields colliaded Akuma was pushed back several feet and was off balance. Dashing towards him quickly I slashed my sword at his chest plate. As my blade slashed through his already battered armor blood began to pour from the open wound. I heard him roar in pain but I was more interested in the sword he raised to strike at me. Bringing my shield to parry his blow the sword slammed into the shield. As I brought my sword to strike at him once more I saw him just noticing me about to strike. Swinging my sword towards his head my sword barely missed his shield. As the tip of the blade went through the helm slit it punctured into akuma's right eye. Bringing my sword back to my side i thrusted it quickly into his chest through the already open wound. As it went into him I pushed harder and felt his back plate armor give way and puncture through. Akuma started to slump onto me as I slowly started to remove my sword from him. After fully getting my blade from him I placed my hand on his helm and pushed him back. The last sound her was Akuma falling onto the tiled dueling arena with the sound of heavy plate armor crashing to the ground.

Sheathing my sword and putting my shield at my side I bent over and picked up the sword stolen from my possession and put in a bag. After going through a few more of Akuma's things I found a skull with a name etched into it, it read "Gideon". I held the skull in my hand and began my walk to cove. As my eye's spotted a shovel I picked it up and opened a rune book. Upon arriving in britian i walked to the ouskirts of town and palced the skull on the ground and began digging a hole just big enough to bury a skull.
