BOOOM!
It was as if someone dropped an eight hundred pound bomb in the center of the group. Christopher stood tall as the shockwave hit him, completely unperturbed by the sheer force of it.
"AAAAH!" Ears ringing Dalton was almost knocked unconscious when his head hit the ground. Although because of the dust kicked up by the explosion Dalton could only see a few of the other men who worked for him one was screaming as he was burning alive, another was missing a leg and was only grunting as he tried his best to crawl away. Either from shock, fear, or sheer will power he was trying his best to get away without making any noise.
"Heeeere I cooome." Dalton could hear Christopher's sing song voice as he began to make his way into the smoke. It was only moments before he heard the sound of a blade being drove into human flesh. Followed by an agonizing scream. Then another cried out in a different spot, but it was getting closer. Then he saw The glowing light of R
"I guess you could say it's very comparable to acid!" Christopher announced cheerfully.Everything that was the being of Dalton Novak was screaming inside his head. Every part of his body wanted to seize up, blow up, or throw up.. Every bad up you can think of... Hearing this and witnessing the joyful grin of this monster in front of him he wanted to vomit but fought it as much as he could. If he puked it would slow him down. He almost fainted but the tiny, tiny bit of willpower he could muster forbid him from doing so. The mist caught up to him but he felt no pain. It quickly wrapped where he was standing, leaving him about one foot of space separating his feet from the mist.He could no longer take it. He began crying, the flood gates could no longer hold back the tide. At this moment if Christopher held a blade to his throat he would resign himself and accept death with open arms. But this.. This was too cruel. Dalton knew he was no saint. In the past he
Everyone's eye's looked past Christopher. A few feet behind him was a man who wore a set of armor you would see on any regular grunt soldier, a blood stain trailing down the side of his face from his head, and looked to be in his late twenties to mid thirties. Everyone glanced at each other unsure of what was going on."Everyone this is Johnathan Shriver. He will be traveling with us for the time being." The man stepped forward and bowed to everyone present. "Please feel free to call me John. Sorry to impose on you all." He introduced himself with a gruff voice. This man was in fact Dalton's old Lieutenant. Everyone present eyed the new arrival skeptically, a few were also eyeing Christopher in a similar manner. Braum was just outraged."Have you lost your mind!? Who do you think you are to make a call like that !? What kind of fucking Idiot are you?" Braum let loose insult after insult towards Christopher.POW.Braum went flying b
........"Sooo has anyone else noticed?""Yea it's pretty hard to miss.""What are you two talking about ?" Sarah asked curiously walking up to Garrett and Vanessa."We're discussing how John seems to be damn near kissing the ground Christopher walks on..." Vanessa answered. The three of them could only gaze in wonder as the ex Lieutenant under Dalton ran about packing everything up from their camp and even was doing everyone else's work for them. It had been Two days since he arrived. Despite his rough appearance and gruff voice not only had he been a perfect gentlemen to the ladies, and got along with everyone. Except Braum... Fuck that guy... at least that was John's current views. Christopher's enemies were his enemies. On top of getting along with everyone in the group, he had been a huge help. Packing, unpacking, meal time, getting water. Almost all of the work was being carried out by him."You know John you can rel
'Wait wait wait! I must have just misheard him that's all.'"Now Chris, did you just say three different women... You-." Chris let out a long sigh ' Saw this coming.'"Yes I mean I am trying to get a gift for three different women. Not just one. Not just Elise although she is one of the three." He tried to state it As plainly as possible.'Oh my god. I mean Elise is a given, but does that mean he's interested in Vanessa and myself!?' Sarah's face began turning a bright red as her imagination began to roam.Chris wasn't sure which part exactly but he could tell some things were being misinterpreted here, but decided to just ignore it."So Ahem. So Elise is one of them, so two others.." Christopher nod his head. " Do you have any ideas what you wish to get these girls?""I was thinking An earing for Elise, and perhaps a ring and necklace for the other two"'A ring!? Oh my god could it be he is intending to follow through with his words
As Christopher and Thomas were approaching the rest of their group John and Vanessa saw them first and ran over to them."Chris! Braum kept insisting you and Thomas left!""Sir, Something has happened. I thin-" Chris held up his hand but did not slow his pace."It's ok I got it.""Chirs!" Sarah called out happily. In front of him the group seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.Christopher came to a stop with his arms crossed. "Well seems our little party has grown....A lot." Behind Sarah and the rest sat twenty Imperial Knights on horseback with Braum in the lead. Their armor all bearing the same family crest as him. 'Personal troops huh.'With just a glance anyone could tell these were no common soldiers. They all wore plate armor and carried themselves as abled veterans. One of the men spurred his horse forward and looked down at Christopher with contempt."So you're Christopher? I sent some men to find you. By any chance did yo
The Knight captain turned just in time to see the eyes of the one he thought was nothing but a useless coward and a blade cutting into his neck. 'What a fool I was' The eyes as cold as death himself.The men standing next to their captain were covered in the spray of his blood. There was no scream no resistance. In the blink of an eye the man they obeyed and looked up to was gone. His head flew through the air a look of horror Stuck to his face forever. Although being seasoned veterans their reaction was just a moment to slow. Christopher ignited Hate and was already mid swing with it. The black arch cut through the air and Then hit the men in front of it. There was a moment of resistance then it immediately split them in two.'Ooh enchanted armor.'"To ar-" a Knight began yelling but was cut off mid scream by a sword piercing through him, John stood behind him and pulled his sword free of him and began to engage the man next to him in combat.
"Ha" Thomas Half laughed in disbelief. Sarah, and Vanessa could only open and close their mouths."See he's a monster! All he want's is the death of you and the empire!""I've never hid the fact that I hate you Imperials. But I'll say this much I hate Albrael and it's Royal family far more then I could ever hate the Empire. The empire didn't betray their people on a Whim. Robert I would pay to kill for his betrayal.'His betrayal? Could he be talking about The Black Guard'"Wait I thought The Black Guard Betrayed their king?" Garrett asked."Yea? Just where did you hear that from? Ever hear the saying history is written by the victor? This case is a prime example of such a situation. I don't know if It was because people were so happy the war finally came to an end, or if humanity has always just not cared so long as they themselves remained unaffected. Either way Almost no one questioned what happened. Of course there was also others that we
"You sons of bit-" His words cut off Braum stood there wide eyed. A familiar taste filled his mouth. Granted it had been a while since he had last taste it. But the scent was unmistakable. He felt Warmth washing over his body."Wha- BRAUM!" The Princess? Braum looked over at her. She had a horrified look on her face. There was almost no color to her. Tears were flowing even harder then they previously had been. She was Staring at Christopher. 'What could the bastard have done this time.' Braum began to turn towards him, he had to admit the excitement at the thought of yelling at him had a wonderful sound to it. It would definitely cheer him up after witnessing the failure of his family's men."What did you do this ti-" Halfway through the turn Braum felt drunk for some reason, he began to fall over but was swiftly caught. "Ah thank you." He regretted the words immediately after saying them, for the one that caught him was Christopher and he would not
