Shadow turned around and walked to the darkness
Jon, orried about the other Jon ran to him and shook him
The other Jon opened his eyes and shouted ”Finally!”
”We need to get to” Jon was about to say so interpreted hi sound was head all over the place”
Both Jons looked at one direction and froze
”Is there a e can ht first, then we can figure that out later” Red Jon took out a sword from somewhere
Old Jon was in a pinch as his confidence level in fights is a bit pitiful
”Do you have one for me?” He asked
Red Jon was in a loss for words
”Figure it out yourself!” He shouted
”Oh, okay!” Old Jonbecae one
”Come at me, snake!” Red Jon raised his sword and ran towards the snake head-on
Old Jon saw the scene and cold sweat covered his back A 10 years old version of Jon is now running e snake He was afraid yet he e snake appeared to be one th was unknown due to part of it is still within the border of darkness Once it saw Red Jon running at it, it opened its mouth wide and jumped towards Red Jon
It was a totalto be sed but in the last second, a fast shadowhim away
”LET ME GO! I'LL KILL IT!” Red Jon was squirrip
”Yeah yeah, go get us killed! YOU IDIOT!” Old Jon stood up and pulled Red Jon away from the snake's second attack
”I'll skin that snake alive!” Red Jon kept screa
”THAT'S A VIPER, YOU IDIOT! LOOK AT IT'S FANGS” Old Jon was losing his patience It was good that Red Jon wasn't that heavy
Red Jon finally agreed to evade the viper instead of facing it head-on
”We need to make a plan!” Old Jon shouted
”Plan for yourself I only need to land a hit on it” Red Jon was a real brat
”Fine, we need to make a plan for you to land a hit on it” And Old Jon was meek as ever
For some reason, they didn't understand how this brat added to that inal personality
Anyway, the tere running around to evade the raic?” Old Jon asked
”Why would I?” Red Jon paused for a second
” Magic isit in close quarters, you idiot”
” It is just a pain! You do the ic” Red Jon and took out a shi+eld fro from the very start of the battle but he didn't kno to do it and was very dissatisfied
Still
” I can use ic?” Old Jon was surprised for sohtning' and it indeed ca” He was about to announce it but the viper flicked hiue and put his shi+eld up when the head of the viper cornered hi attacked relentlessly and got pushed back then got rammed by the viper's body and fleay
”Dammit! That hurts!” Old Jon and Red Jon were not very pleased with the outcoht, isn't it?} A voice replied at them
”Come out and face me, you coward!” Red Jon roared at the voice
”I a our asses the past few ly” Old Jon stood up and started looking around
He was now trying to use the situation rather than running around like a fool He had hi weapons as if it is some second nature in him
”Listen, if you can summon weapons, the focus on defense, leave the offense to me” Old Jon said
”Defense? I to retaliate at the viper no ht noe need to do it together, you daic” Old Jon said in a co all brat a o, nodded and ran to stand in front of Old Jon su himself in a heavy armor
Old Jon needed at least that protection to use ic easily
”Round two” Old Jon shouted as he started evoking ic
It was 'Stoneskin' on himself and Red Jon, then Two Frost Atronaches and after that ca the shi+elds that were put together to reassemble one shi+eld and readied hi Strikes' one after the other which mostly landed on the viper
The viper, that was ready to er Jon and Jon were both ready to intercept its next moveht while charging forward
