Chapter 24 (23 for Deviant art) Deciet's P.O.V

Watching the big man go into the tree was extremely hard to take in. That thing just took out one of our strongest without a thought. What chance did we have? I quickly charged at the blood mage, thinking that if you take out the source the thing will go down next. I dived for the blood mage and he quickly sidestepped.

 

I then got pummeled by that huge bastard… hitting a tree I hit the ground and quickly dived out of the way a foot crashing down on where I was only seconds before.

Ace was shooting at the monstrosity but it seemed to be doing nothing. A small knife flew from the blood mage's hand going into Ace's throat.

Ace quickly fell grasping the knife in his throat gasping for breath when all seemed lost I saw him… a man with a black cloak slowly approached the blood mage and grinned sardonically. “Your time is up… Old man!” with that the man drew a blade using only three strikes, the mage's Head and torso split from each other, the magi's face showing only Horror and Shock.

The man then turned to the abomination, raising his Egyptian blade to his lips he licked a little of the blood off. “It's been so long… but alas… it will be even longer.” Tyde growled out “who are you…” taking another head off of a zombie coming towards him.
”My name is not of importance…” he then vanished or… did he?

The abomination was slowly being taken apart piece by piece and all they could see was a haze in the air. The abomination soon fell in over a thousand pieces, the man reappearing and cleaning off his blade with a rag this time. Tyde yelling, “Who are you! I demand to know!”
”if you wish to see your friends alive… I would stay quiet Demon!”
The green dragon demon shut up as the man ran over to Ace taking the blade out quickly ripping a piece of his cloak he wrapped his throat almost instantly and yelled to Tyde “Get the healer now!”

Tyde growled lowly but did as he was told not wanting to know how much damage this man could do… he quickly yelled at the cleric “Get over here we need as much help as we can get!” the cleric and Tyde both ran and she quickly healed Ace then seeing Nateal she gasped again then groaned.

”Why do you always have to be the one to get you stubborn son of a ~”
”we have no time for name calling cleric… just do what your supposed to do.” The man snapped he was in no mood for games as his golden eyes seemed to dig into the Clerics very soul…
the Cleric almost instantly did what she was told not knowing or caring who the person was… just knowing that she did not like him.

The cleric was grumbling but doing her work and the man watched over all. Tyde went over to him cautiously the ground running with blood. “Now… can you tell us who you are and why you saved us? We've been having bad luck… and we can't take any chances”
”now I can… but I warn you… if you wish to know this then we must head out immediately “Quickly… into the house”

Although none of them wanted they all complied Tyde and the cleric carrying Nateal. Tyde grumbling that the man shouldn't be wearing hundreds of pounds of Armour all the time.

 

They quickly entered the house waking up Mitch they all sat n the living room watching the man. The man growled out “My name is Rain… I am a prophet and a Vampir… no it is not Vampire… that was just in Hungary that they introduced that.”

Mitch groaned hearing this “and you're here to what… kill us all and drink our blood?!” Rain growled back “if I was still feeding you would have never been born…”

Mitch sighed shaking his head not liking the argument he was getting himself into. “why do you want to help us…”
Deciet looked at Rain “…Because he has no choice but to make sure the prophecies are completed, that is his duty… and he will make sure it will happen”
Rain nodded “and now I will tell you the prophecy of what he speaks… and so it came to pass… that a man born of light will return to darkness, to destroy a being of great evil”

Nateal gave out a cry as the cleric put something in his wound and was instantly awake… but getting a bludgeon to the head he was instantly back out cold again

Rain sighed “we must go to the forest realm… When Nateal wakes up we must leave. I'll take watch you must all get rest.”
the group nodded Deciet, Mitch, and Ace going to one room the cleric Tyde and Nateal another room.

Deciet frowned in the other room “can we really trust this man? I mean… we did just meet him…”
Ace frowned rubbing his aching throat “you were the one that said we should trust him.”
Deciet frowned “just because I said we should trust him doesn't mean we have to trust him… he is a Vampir and they are not trustworthy…”
Mitch nodded doubtfully “yeah… they aren't… but something about that guy seems… familiar.”
”probably just your imagination drummer…” the cocky sharpshooter said reloading his Browning's.

~Meanwhile in the other room~

Tyde frowned as the cleric pulled branches from Nateal's wounds. “So… we never did get your name. If I could get the name I would be grateful…”
”Akira… Now help me by opening this so I can get this piece of metal out of him…”
Tyde frowned pulling up a bit of Nateal's stomach and Akira pulling a large dagger from inside of Nateal's stomach

The cleric frowned taking out other objects, and before long she sewed him up healing him as best as she could. “Why is the only one that gets blood well hurt around here…”
Tyde grumbled back “cause he's the most suicidal…”
”Why would a knight be suicidal?” she looked confused almost astonished.
”Because he is the last… or so we assume” he frowned slightly his dark green hair getting in his eyes and he quickly brought his hands up moving his hair.

Nateal woke up slowly and awkwardly, “what the hell happened… I fell like I was hit by a catapult…”
Tyde nodded slightly “may as well have been hit by one my friend… Your scratched Armour didn't last long… it broke”
The big human's eyes actually welled up with tears as he heard this, putting his head in his hands he began to cry.
