107 March Through Hell (2/2)

”Move your ass Laura how can you call yourself my attendant if you always find yourself on my back!

Even that wimp Kate is outdoing you, when my mother becomes the ruler of the Ancients we have to make sure we are not a burden to her.”

Tia covered in snow with pale lips could be seen with a fire of determination in her eyes despite her frail looking starved body.

Sophia was Tia's mother while she and Kate were both born to a couple that served Tia's family.

If they succeeded in becoming the new Rulers they would always face the threat of death, as any Ancient could directly challenge for the position of Leader.

While success would be filled with glory, failure would result in the death of all those of your bloodline for the crime of rebellion.

The fight for power for Ancients was the most serious of matters besides living and dying for the Guardians.

Laura pulling her blade out of the back of the leader of the Shadow wraiths feels his cold blood moving into her wounds only to be disintegrated by a viscous force.

As she killed the Shadow next to the leader to gain this chance to attack she also received another wound.

This time it was a clean cut, causing her to starting losing her vision as she retreated from the remaining 6.

”Dam you! Just die already, never in my long life has anyone been able to resist my blood possession within the Void Realm.

What is in your blood? What could be so powerful to force me out, I wonder maybe taking you alive is more worth it after all.”

Sure of their victory even with half of them finding death on this mission, they move to tighten the space around their prey.

Laura had long since called for help but she knew she might not get any in time, as she defended from more and more attacks her blood began to join the blood from her victims floating in space.

She was upset that she would die here, even worse the one she captured would be released once she fell.

She should have planned for an escape before coming here, was the only thing currently on her mind.

A blinding light was rushing at her as she was in a dazed state, lifting up her blades she managed to block the attack but it caused a crack to appear on one of the blades.

Watching her weapon reach its limit they know that she too is soon to collapse and then they can take her away, as they began to relax their guard against the half dead female warrior they noticed her weapon repairing itself.

”Her weapon is unique I want it!! None of you are to report about her weapons do you understand me! It can heal itself with the wielders blood how amazing is that. I can even feel it growing stronger!”

As these words left his mouth Laura no longer could hold on and fainted from massive blood loss, as her body floated in space they attacked her a few more times to make sure she was down and out.

When she failed to react to their attacks they were waiting for them to strike her when a massive tear opened before the lifeless body of their enemy.

Stepping out of the rift and catching the body of Laura Dashnell has a smile on his face as he places the sleeping woman on his back, absorbing all the attacks into himself.

”Greeting Shadow Wraiths! No.. no that would be rude you go by Shades do you not? I am this girls Master, when her weapon broke I was alerted of her need for aid and so! Here I am.

Well I just wanted to show off, my other wives are on their way here but let's just say they got lost before they could reach here. Ah! Maners well before I go I guess I could introduce myself.

I am Dashnell, The Dragon Emperor. I will return one day for those trapped in that seal, so wait for me!”

As I tried to move back into the rift and bring Laura away it was sliced in half just before I could enter it.

Looking in the direction of the group that attacked Laura another 5 people showed up each of them stronger than those currently present.

”Why don't you stay awhile young one, you might find the inside of that seal to your liking like the rest of those Demons. Since you are here to save them you might as well go inside!”

Not waiting for the other party to respond the Elder tried to seize space around me and Laura, as she was too injured to take any more damage I sent her into my void world as I held off the attack.

”Oh. No wonder she was able to remain undetected for so long, you possess such masterful control over space.

No matter we only need one of you to find out where you came from and why you dare to help those Demons.”

With a visible smirk on my face I wield Laura's short swords in my hands.

”Since you wish to play so much let this dragon be your teacher!”
