10 Desperation 2 (1/2)

The fallen king Morador, Sky breaker and the wielder of Haeress, sat on his petrified throne, gazing down at the unmoving Link.

”You have finally made it here, young man”

He said while standing up, he was a 6 foot tall stone man, with an impressive build.

before Link could get over my amazement at the stone man's sheer presence and him being able to converse.

he felt an intense pain in his chest as if a truck had struck him right there and then.

the next moment he came to realize, he has been blown all the way out from the throne room to the outside of the castle, taking down several walls with him.

His eyes blurry, and chest caved in, with his hands shaking he looked through what was left of the stuff in his bag, blood flowing out off his mouth,

most of the stuff inside were broken, fortunately, he managed to find what he had been looking for.

Pain Killers.

quickly downing one of the advanced Pain killer pills, Link felt his pains lessen and his wound slowly regenerate thanks to his high strength and stamina.

But it wasn't enough, his ribs were probably broken already.

he could finally see what had whacked him, inside the throne room, stood the stone king Morador with his left arm stretched out, seeming to have just executed a jab.

With a look of disappointment, his lips parted.

”Just another weakling”

he turned his back to Link and started walking away.

Link here, knew what the logical choice for him here was.

The logical choice for him here was to run away as far as he could, and never take a step back into this place.

but...

The words the stone man had spoken brought up one of the memories he had buried deeply.

The man who took the life of his beloved right in front of his eyes, severed his arm, while he could do nothing but be the useless bastard he was.

had that same disposition, that same look of disappointment and he spoke the exact same words to him.

slowly the image of the stone king overlapped with that man's, at that moment, Link reached a state of calm rage.

he felt something break inside him, his rage overtook him and he dashed toward the fading silhouette.

Dashing towards Morador, link Raised Dark Bane near his ear, in just the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the stone king, slashing towards him.

”You can still move?”

Link's Katana seemed to blurr as he started to reach towards his prowess limits

Morador, surprised, finally started to take the fight seriously.

”as I said, a weakling”
