90 The sacrifice Part 3 (1/2)
The high-pressure air cut through the cage-like it was butter. Though all it would take was a single push to open the cage. Desmond didn't do that yet because once he did he would have to fight off the three guards watching the cages.
Desmond knew he needed to silence the three guards before they noticed him and called for help. It would be a difficult thing to do for a normal person, but Desmond had a simple solution. Reaching outside his cage Desmond picked up a pile of loose dirt.
He clasped the dirt with both hands and began to mold it into three spiked balls.
Desmond had a simple plan in mind, by using the shape earth spell Desmond could create weapons to silently dispatch of the guards. Without the guards around Desmond was free to burrow underground the building and escape without having to fight a large crowd of people by himself.
As for the people left behind they would have to continue the ritual without him. Until Desmond could get the DCPD to bring an army of their own. Desmond wasn't planning on calling the DCPD because it was the right thing to do, but because he wanted revenge. There were far too many people for Desmond to handle the way he was now. So, he decided to stick to his code and run like a bitch in the face of danger.
Letting someone else fight his battles for him brought Desmond just as much satisfaction as if he did it himself. Desmond had no honor he always thought it was an excuse people used so no one would think they were stupid when they get killed.
With his weapons in hand, Desmond waited for his opportunity to strike. The ritual was still going, thundering voices and strong wind filled the building. As Desmond waited for his chance, it finally came when the guard closest to him walked towards the other two guards to Desmond's left. His large body blocked the view of the other two guards. With Desmond already crouched down low he was in a good position to kill those three guards.
Seizing the opportunity Desmond used his arms, crawled out of the cage of his cage and planed to quickly dispatch the three guards in one swift motion, but in that critical moment, he found that he couldn't properly turn his body or feel his legs.
At the worst time, possible Desmond had just realized just how badly hurt he was when he got hit by that car. He had minor fracture's on his bones, but the worst thing was that his spine was dislocated. Most people would be fucked over by such an injury, but Desmond just needed time to put it back in place, time that Desmond did not have.
The noise Desmond made when he pushed open the cage didn't go unnoticed, the sound of the cage door hitting the floor was tinny. Barley noticeable amongst everything else going on in the building but was loud enough to make one of the three guards glance over.
Shock was plastered on his face when he witnessed Desmond sneaking out of his cage.
”How did you get out” the guards abrupt shouting made the other two guards turn around to witness Desmond as well.
