The Inner Gambit of Darkness - Continued

(What does it say?)

"C'mon," Konbei said, taking Gwene's hand. He gave a final glance over his shoulder. "We should go..."

--------

"I would assume so," Nuala said.

Gwene held Konbei's hand and walked with him. She looked at him as they walked back to the group, oh how she loved him with an undying passion. She would do anything for him.

Legion held his cracked chest, breathing heavily. His sword disintegrated into red particles before drifting up into the clouds. The area around them calmed to the way it was before.

"Well done, mortal. You truly are the warrior of legend...Demon's Bane..."

Legion looked up. "Legend tells of a mortal warrior who wielded mighty swords and vanquished countless demons to oblivion. Could you be...him?"

He let out one more heavy breath before chuckling evilly. "I am not angry, mortal. Nor vengeful. I haven't had a battle like that since millennia." He stood up straight and looked Ryan straight in the eye. "As the Deity of Violence and Destruction, I grant you my weapon."

The clouds swirled above Ryan and shot out a lightning bolt before him, which was actually Legion's sword racing down at the speed of light. It kicked up sulfuric dust and revealed its demonic glory to the Gurinfaita.

DAEMORAKK

"Nav'e guul vrak xe..." Legion spoke. "Rain death and blood upon those who dare oppose you, mortal."

Deserax saw Konbei and Gwene come back.

"Have fun?"

"So...the cursed son has a loved one?" the man thought as he watched them walk away. "I won't let another Taigo enter this world. I'll kill Taigo's son and the woman, before I deal with him and his wife."

The emerald eyed man left his hiding spot and stealthfully followed Konbei.

"Oh, I know I...." she paused for a moment "...did." Gwene said, she looked at Konbei and gave him a look that something bad was about to happen.

The man stood on high ground, looking down at the three with his glowing emerald eyes.

She turned and saw the thing behind them, not knowing what to think, she drew out her new sword and held it at the ready with both hands.

Lucan's petals quivered. The small nymph looked around to find the source of the presence, but saw nothing.

Deserax felt something in the air that wasn't right.

"I'm not the only one feeling that right?" He asked out loud.

The man jumped down to their level and casually walked closer to them, unarmed and with a dark smirk. "At last...after years of being locked up in that hellhole, I can start my revenge." the man said in a low brooding voice. "I knew the rumors were true, that Taigo's son was at large...on a rampage."

He stopped a few meters away from his enemies. "Tell me, Taigo...why did your mind become corrupt with rage? I am curious, and your time is limited."

Deserax was on guard right as he popped out.

"I'm guessing your not here to enjoy the hot springs."

Lucan hissed with his petals, but kept a good distance away from the man.

Konbei turned and faced the man. "It was Daimus," Konbei said defensively.

"Or was it your rage alone that fueled your intentions?" the man mused.

He held out a hilt and with a swift movement, materialized a steel greatsword blade with ancient Gerudo engravings. The man's grin became a glare. "Your family shall feel my vengeance, as your blood runs down my blade."

He swung it around in one hand a few times before pointing it at Konbei with his emerald eyes ablaze. "You shall remember the name Eyphah!"

The man, Eyphah, held his blade in both hands and charged at Konbei.

"Action time! Finally!" Deserax said. He would've charged the man, but he figured since he was running for Konbei, he might as well let him have the first few strikes.

In one movement, Konbei drew his blade, the new one gifted to him by Gwene, and blocked. He narrowed his eyes at Eyphah as their blades clashed.

"What the hell did I do to you, I've never seen you in my life," Konbei seethed.

"Your family has humiliated me for the last time!" Eyphah shouted as he swung again, this time with more force.

Verron was glad that Baba/Lucan had found his things, and now she took Cyrus's arm with smile. "let's go, escort" her voice dropped seductively with this last word. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Lucan and Deserax move about nervously. "uhg, I'm always out of the loop. Why are we freaking out?" Then she saw the new guy. "seriously? more people?" she sighed. "okay, so who are you?"

Cyrus noticed Eyhpah fighting Konbei savagely, his first instinct was to protect Verron and he stood in front of her, hoping to keep her safe.

=====

Galenus heard the fighting, he stood up from the rock and looked down at Celeste "You wait here, I'll go see what is going on."

Konbei ducked and sent a punch at Eyphah's abdomen.

--------------

"Wait! I'll come with you," Celeste said, whenever she heard fighting she worried about Konbei, knowing he was most likely involved.

Galenus had began to make his way, but stopped when he heard Celeste speak. It had almost been 3 hours, so she was almost healed, he nodded and looked back at her "Okay. But stick close to me, I'll keep you safe."

Eyphah quickly put his shinguard up to block the blow before sending a downward strike towards Konbei.

Konbei swung his blade upwards against Eyphah's as he drew his other one and slashed at his body.

Eyphah barely missed the blade as he stepped back and swung at Konbei's side.
