"Hurry up some games a little Surasshu! Otherwise we will not even be there next year, "shouted about Luso Surasshu lying hundreds of feet behind him. The dragged himself only because he barely had the desire to run, because they are already on the road for hours. "Tell me, how far is it still up to this village?" He asked. "Only a few kilometers." Luso answered and could hear someone tearing through the bushes.
There were definitely three people, maybe more because he was sure. Caught up with him why he had waited until Surasshu and told him of his suspicions. "Probably some kind of patrol of these robbers." Suspected Surasshu and put his hand on the hilt. They looked around and actually an arrow hissed from the thicket towards her.
Immediately drew his sword and told Surasshu the arrow in two. As if from nowhere six more arrows came from different directions, but they were nothing compared Lusos magic. "Wall of Fire." He said simply created a wall of flames in which the arrows were still in the air to an end. Then the wall and disappeared before they realized what was happening they were surrounded by shady characters.
Knives, spears, swords, daggers and axes were pointed at them and the two looked at each other briefly. "Here we go." Said Surasshu only and stormed off. Were immediately disarmed, and the first three ran away screaming. Luso however, remained calm and always gave his attackers. "As a magician you are, but rather nimble." Said one of them while he chased after him with his ax.
Luso just sighed and took off his hood. In his hands gathered the air, forming a kind of boxing glove, which he immediately used. So that his attacker caught while only slightly, but they scared so much that they also fled. Then he broke the spell during Surasshu puts away his sword. "Say, how come that you may as well fight with the sword?" Luso asked puzzled.
"I've trained the last three years. Just because I do not come from the north must say that I have no idea of ??weapons. "Commented Surasshu and moved on. Luso looked behind him for a moment before he followed him. A few hours later they arrived in the village, from which the job came in and were shaken, because everywhere was chaos and pain.
"You can feel the suffering of the residents formally." Luso said sadly. "Apparently, these predators often here." As she slowly walked, they noticed how the people hid. "Probably they are afraid." Surasshu thought itself. In the middle of the village, a memorial for those who should oppose the robber was prepared from several corpses.
"These monsters." Luso said and began to cry. "In what times we live?" Asked an elderly person who approached them. They had weathered and weakened, because they could barely stand. Luso but remained calm and asked the person how long they have been suffering under these robbers. "For over a half years. First they came in week intervals, but then they became more frequent.
And if we had no money, they took something else. Preferably women and children, "she told the person and responded with an angry face Surasshu. He drew his sword and said: "Do not worry, we will do these types for you." Luso however, hardly changed his facial expression, not because he wanted to show how angry he was.
All you could see what was his mouth, which moved only to breathe. "We should bury these poor souls." Suggested Luso and made it so Surasshu to calm for a moment. This helped him to turn their last respects to the dead, in which they took of the memorial and buried. "May they rest in peace." He said, only.
"Here they come again," shouted one woman and hid once again. A few minutes later there were only Surasshu and Luso who opposed the robbers. They came on horses and riding up to them. Without batting an eyelid, they surrounded them and threatened them with their weapons. "Well, look at a time: two clan rats to stand here and try to stop us well," shouted one of them.
Luso just looked at him and said: ". If you go now, we could stop here without the bloodshed" Loud laughter was heard as Luso finished the sentence. "Look at him, this little boy cats! Thinks he could sell us a few hollow words, "shouted another, and turned his sword on him. "You would do well in it, not to wag with this piece of junk in front of me do you hear?" Said Luso cool.
The man became angry, jumped off his horse and rushed to Luso. Suddenly, a sword and swung between Surasshu stood before Luso in a defensive posture. "A boy without a gun attack is pretty cowardly, or" asked Surasshu. "But what am I talking about? What else knows it yet or not? "Flash, Luso was pushed away and already had the whole gang are Surasshu around.
Even before the fighting started between the quantity and Surasshu could, they were called back by someone. A man in a red robe on his horse came slowly up to her and apologized for the behavior of his comrades. "Sometimes they are a little short-tempered because they are fast and need to know their violent." He said, and ordered his men to move away from them.
Immediately disappeared and the men talked then covered. "My name is relay and I am the leader of the gang here." He introduced himself. "Then tell us again why you are robbing this village for half a year here and the residents verschleppst!" Demanded Surasshu and directed his sword on him. "But, but ... I was delaying but not humans.
They come with free will. "Relay defended themselves. "Then tell me what these bodies should be here!" Surasshu demanded again. Relay placed his hand on his sword hilt and just looked at him. "I'm not a fan of long conversations has Beac" he began, and slowly drew his sword. The blade was badly worn, they must be stopped several times to be forged, and also seems barely turn again.
Surasshu also understood what he wanted to relay and Luso asked to go back a few steps. Luso followed these instructions and took a few steps back to before the two were running together. Your blade crossed and the two pushed forward with all their strength.
"A nice sword you have there." Remarked relay. "Can I have it?" Surasshu threw him back and swung the sword a few times. "Forget it, you thief!" He shouted again and just ran up to him. With each stroke of Surasshu who went into space, he realized what Relay was made: he wanted to exhaust him just so he can do then. And actually went out Surasshu after a few blows of breath and he had to get once again gather for a moment before he could continue.
Luso saw the fight as excited with how the robbers who held back on relays command. "If the opportunity fits we'll take out the others understand?" Asked one of him the rest of the agreed immediately. Cautiously they crept past the combatants to Luso attack from behind. But before she could react, a magic circle appeared on the floor and she could no longer move.
"Light tie." Luso said, closing his left hand just opened up. "Do you think I seriously would not you noticed?" Asked Luso and she turned around. He looked at her and said it: "Even the whole time I had you in mind.
Just a shame that you have not noticed it? "Surasshu and relay the light from the flickering, which triggered Luso with his magic were puzzled for a moment turned away shortly after it had gone back to their fight. "I see you're from the north, I'm right? Someone like you see here is not rare. "Remarked Relay and grinning nasty.
"I wanted more than just snow and ice look so I'm gone off, that's all." Surasshu told. "And I see your sword is also no ordinary right?" Relay asked again and looked closely at Surasshus sword. The blade shimmered in a beautiful shade of blue, as it was illuminated by the sun. "It is made of blue steel if you really want to know." Answered Surasshu and swung the blade a few times in a circle.
It is heard instead of the usual low tone, when you swing a sword almost reminiscent of a vocal sound. "The sword ... it sings it?" Luso forgot himself and asked for a moment the magic with which he held the robber caught. They used this chance and went off on him. He immediately jumped back and struck his hands together.
The result was a glowing ball, which he immediately drew long so as to create a white sword. With this sword, he managed to keep the robber not only on distance but also to defend themselves against those who came too close to him. Surasshu, who began to wonder slowly over his "singing" sword wondered what it's all well up.
"Maybe it's the blue-steel." He thought but before he could think further relay came running and grabbed the sword. "I must have this sword, give it to me," he yelled, pulling on the handle only. "The sword is mine, let it go," shouted back Surasshu and also pulled the handle. "Then I'll give it to me with violence," shouted his opponents and was about to go back a blow when emitted a shrill cry of Surasshus sword.
In addition, it also shone on what Relay forced back to a jump. The light is colored blue and devoured Surasshu, who felt a familiar cold around them. "What happened here?" He asked himself and looked at the sword. It throbbed, as if it had a heart would just beat. He lowered his head and listened to the knocking. It seemed familiar, like the cold that he felt around him.
At that moment he could feel like something was approaching fast. He moved the blade just a bit to the left and struggled a bit, as he thought. When he opened his eyes, he saw Relays sword pressed against his sword. Startled, he looked into the grave face of his opponent and threw it back immediately. Relay slid back, holding his sword before him, and looked like it was shaking.
"What's that?" He asked, looking at Surasshu, who stood with a determined face and in fighting stance in front of him. The robbers, who were not caught by Luso or even fought with him were in fear before Surasshu back and saw the fight ahead. "The little looks pretty much do not you think?" Asked one of the others.
"Maybe we should get out." He said relay but had other plans. "This is no skin off! I let me not beat a child, "cried he, and only the two stood still. Then he ran back toward Surasshu who expected him already. As they crossed their swords again, he tried to reach for the sword, but this was blocked by Surasshu he took a step back.
Then there was a long slugfest during which Surasshu relay the sword from his hand and struck him, then held the blade and the neck. "It's over." He said relay but was far from finished. He quickly pulled out a knife, sword struck the side and just wanted to stab Surasshu when he fought back and it just went with the sword on his chest.
The blood flowed down his body that he broke silence. Luso, the rest of the gang and the villagers saw the two. With bowed head of the dragon wiped his sword by the blade and then put it away again. Then he looked at the robbers who immediately ran away without saying anything. Some of them ran to relay, picked him up and ran away with him.
Spitting blood Relay gasped while the wound on his stomach bleeding continues. "This is my penance this rat," he cried in a low voice as she disappeared into the forest. A short time later, the villagers celebrate the heroes, and Luso held back so Surasshu got the most attention. Before the two dungeons, the village finally got all of them each a bag full of gold coins.
"And if you know you have back problems so, to whom you can contact her!" Announced Surasshu even before they left, which caused a short laugh at Luso. Later, through the forest when she went back to the station came the two again this week. Mostly it was a question why they ever make a trip. Surasshus reason was that he wanted to see more than just the snowy north.
"I wanted the big cities of the world to see and take some with a few souvenirs." He said. Then he also told me that he wanted to travel back home to tell his parents and friends of his journey. Lusos reason was that he wants to be one of the greatest magicians in the country and no more. She was at the station waiting for the train he asked Surasshu, as it actually stands for his parents.
"My mother is a human being and my father why a dragon?" He asked, but Luso only shrugged his shoulders and told him that it just was interested and no more. Sitting on the train asked Luso Surasshu, has dropped him as his first assignment. "It was kind of exciting even if I somehow was not prepared for a fight." He replied.
"In a fight must be prepared on a mission ever. If you're not, it could fail the entire mission. But, fortunately, nothing much happens. "Luso Surasshu but said had a different opinion. Although he did not want to fight he had when he faced relay the feeling that he could not otherwise. But when he looked in Lusos eyes, he realized that he was apparently quite normal in a mission to hurt the other one person.
"Believe me you get used to it yourself. If you only times a few battles and missions have behind you, that's almost by itself. "Luso said encouragingly but somehow was not Surasshu thereafter. Instead, he preferred to sleep only one that commented Luso with a sigh. "This boy is really what is special." He thought to himself and went to sleep just as well.
