Dragonheart Part 56
#28 of Dragonheart Part 29-58
"Man, here's what's going on." Said Wynn, as she walked through the streets with Bertram Luso Herenas. Throughout the city, were soldiers, the people were partially relaxed, yet excited. "This is the capital and yet the people here are so quiet ...?" Said Bertram, wondering. "You must not forget one that is at the other end Herena the country.
This means that we are being attacked probably take a couple of weeks. "Said Luso him. "And why are we here if we are not attacked anyway?" Wynn asked him. "I had" probably said, "Please do not forget that. It may be that someone is already here, spies, assassins, if not worse. " Something worse than terrorists, what's that? "Said Wynn again.
"A clan from the north, for example. The trouble here would be that the members of this clan would not even notice, because we know no clan from the north, let alone know that there even is a clan. "With a queasy feeling went three then continued through the streets, when she suddenly halted.
They stopped because they saw just how Eria was playing with some children. Such a picture they saw in Coral port quite often. Especially Eria was always available when a child was crying or had strayed. "Why it's so nice to these kids? She knows them but did not. "Said Bertram.
"Erias heart is full of goodness, warmth and kindness that she enjoys sharing with others." Said Wynn. "This is one of the reasons why water mages are so strong. Her big heart and her ability to survive even the greatest crises" A big heart and the ability to survive the biggest crisis in that sentence Bertram came to himself. A major crisis before them, that they all knew, but Eria really had a big heart that she would overcome this easily?
A little later they all trained a little on a ready made place for it. "Wynn, I would like to see how you fight." Challenged Bertram Wynn. This was just finishing her training with Wynn and agreed to the challenge. They placed facing each other, Bertram drew his katana, while Wynn facing him with her staff was. "We be fun." Said Wynn began when the battle.
Bertram ran to Wynn, struck from below, as these warding him with her wand. It was clear that the blade damaged the rod, which annoyed some Wynn. In the further course of the campaign staff has been hit so often that Wynn was forced to throw him aside. "She has not yet used any of their magic, why?" Said Raio Eria.
"That's not quite right: she has already used a spell that only you can not see him." Eria said, chuckling. Raios view, expanded when he heard this. But no matter how much he was looking at Wynn, he could see no charm. The fight went on and it seemed as though Bertram gain the upper hand. He pushed back Wynn and on, but when he almost hit his arm, his blade bounced just right before it hit the skin off easily.
"What was that?" Said Bertram, and they attacked again. In the ensuing minutes, every one of his blows, no matter where, returned to the sender. "What's that spell" Wynn laughed, went out of their defensive posture and replied: "Wind is the magic skin, which I at the moment in which you have made my staff for the first time trafst.
It creates a very thin, but all the stronger layer of air about half a centimeter of my skin, which is invisible to the naked eye. It is spoken mostly at the beginning of a fight, as many wind magic as opposed to that much more difficult to apply. "
Bertram looked at Wynn, which was of a layer of air on their skin seems to protect the entire body. "It does not attack directly, so long as this wind is there skin. But perhaps I will succeed, they also make it. "He wondered. Quick as a flash he then ran up to her, crouched down, so he was directly under her and then struck, and the blow struck Wynn directly, but left no wound but only cut her jacket.
She jumped back and wondered how that was possible. "That was the thunderbolt: a bat is so fast that it bypasses any wards. Unfortunately it only works once, so I have to come up with something new now, probably. "Said Bertram. Wynn crossed his arms. "Then let me get started sometimes," she exclaimed, opening her arms fast.
"Wind speeders" A cross-shaped wind flicked on Bertram. With the Katana in a defensive posture succeeded Bertram, repel this attack just like that, but Wynn began already at the next attack. She swung her arms, and thus sparked a fierce amount of wind gusts, which jumped to from all sides on Bertram. This also struggled from Bertram, had to dodge some of them, however, because they themselves were too quick for him.
"Wow, that kicks off and rightly so." Said Eria fight as they see Wynn. In a tremendous wave of attacks succeeded Bertram hardly come at Wynn approached, but what surprised him. But it was all mission where he was traveling with her more reserved and has shown a rather weak side thought it was in this battle, the train actually like to be replaced.
"I have to they can get, but if I want to attack them I make this damn wind just skin.", He thought, annoyed. "Although, I had an idea there." He clenched his fist, let out and then just hit into the air. At first nothing happened, but then raced three slightly green blades on Wynn. "Do you really think that works for you?" She asked, and more easily from the blade. "I can based on the vibration they cause in the air, calculate its trajectory and then just avoid them."
"Can you also avoid the?" Bertram said she suddenly. He was standing right next to her that Katana just inches from her already cut jacket. She smiled and asked why he did not attack when he was so sure of his victory. . "Setback," said Bertram, approached the katana moved a little closer to Wynn, and at the same moment the blade touched the wind Wynn's skin, there was a bang and Wynn a few meters away was thrown.
"If I attack them against an enemy protective magic practitioner, that is when the blade touches the barrier creates a negative pressure which brings the barrier in a split second and throws to the collapse of the user, depending on the thickness of the barrier away just devastated. This means that if this barrier would have been relatively weak, you would hardly flew a step away, but after your long flight, I can only assume that this barrier must have a considerable strength. "Bertram explained in detail.
With tousled hair and a few scratches Wynn stood slowly up again, panting for a moment and said, "You did it, my skin to break up wind, all have the respect, few made it. But now that I know how strong you are on it I put something going! "
She clasped her hands, closed her eyes and began to concentrate. They all looked at each other, while their hands slowly moved away from each other. And while they did so, an electrical charge was the middle of their hands. When she had her hands she held separate in two hands, a small electrical charge.
"You know, like a thunderstorm, Bertram?" Wynn asked him. "As far as I can remember is created to meet when warm and cold air, and then to jam." Said Bertram. "Exactly. And as you can see on my hands, I have both cold and warm air between my hands pressed together as long before they were to flash. "Said Wynn.
Bertram saw the lightning in their hands, took his katana and asked, "What are you waiting for?" On this question, Wynn took Bertram immediately, with another fierce struggle ensued, during which both Wynn and Bertram suffered some hits . "To those it is clear that this is just a fight or training?" Eria asked nervously. "It is already clear to them, but do not want to lose either of them, so they drive themselves into such a fight to the limit." Said Luso.
"Wynn is a Windmagierin: they are too proud of their skills, especially to be able to control lightning. There may even be some who are able to conjure up powerful storms, which are only rumors. "
The fight went on, however, was seen in both, that they were slow at the end. "I'm maybe just one more try before I flap together." Thought the Wynn. Bertram thought the same thing, wanted to begin a final assault, but Wynn was faster. She jumped in front of him, the hand moved to his flat belly and said, "Thunder Fist."
The next moment Bertram felt like his entire body of a violent lightning impulse has traversed. He fell to his knees and finally to the ground. For a moment it was confident of victory Wynn smiled, but even to the ground. "Won." Said Wynn, before they then fainted.
In the evening, sat Raio, Eria and Luso together in the guest house and talked about Bertram's and Wynn's campaign and how it ended. "What do you mean that Wynn had not given at the end of everything? Have you not seen how it was done? "Raio Luso asked excitedly. "Do not get me wrong, Wynn really has put a lot of power in this attack, but she has not quite made it." Said Luso, which also asked Eria what he meant.
"Wynn has a few inches in front of Bertram's belly and stopped since carried out the attack. Had it with your hand then touches his belly ... "he said and then stopped mid-sentence. But Raio Eria and urged him to say it. "Then they would have given him a hole in the stomach. Because this attack is so powerful combination of air and electricity free of the skin would be torn apart by it were. "Finished his sentence Luso concerned.
"That sounds almost in such a way as you would like that ever happens, Luso." Raio said curiously. Luso looked at him, sighed for a moment and then said: "I've really experienced it once. After that I was for a month is no longer able to move. I had not a hole in your stomach, but my internal organs had been so torn apart, they are no magic probably could not have put together again. "
Raio nodded, apologized for his question, which answered with a shake of the head Luso. "I feel sorry for you must not Raio. Finally, you knew nothing about it. "
Luso opened the door to his room. He stood at the window, ". You have not told you who would then almost killed," someone said to him. "You would not understand." Said Luso. "You're right, Luso. Nevertheless, I do not mention anything in common is not it too? "Said the other again. "What are you doing here? I thought you could not leave without the robe like that? "Luso asked and turned around and directed with an eye on the shadows of the two yellow eyes staring at him.
"Believe me when I tell you that there is a hell of effort to get out of the robe. Actually, I'm here to tell you something. "He replied. "And what?" Luso asked again. The gaze of the other was serious when he replied: "Setix is ??out again. And believe me when I say that while he had a little help. "Luso looked at him shocked.
He had put so much time to ensure that this dragon is behind bars and now he was free again? But he could not worry about it because the person apparently collapsed in the shade. "You go right back into the robe you understand me?" He said immediately. He gasped, agreed, and then saw how Lusos robe was covered by a dark aura.
After Luso bit his thumb. "If Setix is ??free then the first thing he does is his to take revenge on me." He thought to himself. "That's when I surprised him, but this time I will be determined not succeed. I have to think fast tactic, he should seek me already. "
Raio lay on his bed, turned on the lamp on the bedside table. He read a book while someone was sleeping beside him. He had a bandage wrapped around the stomach area, patches on the arms and face. The long gray hair, which was otherwise always tied in a bun lay open, the two strands of hair that should be a kind of frame for the face, were still there.
"Somehow, I love it, just to lie beside you and sleep only when you watch." He whispered. He turned to him, put his arm on his legs and went back to sleep. Raio closed the book, put it on the table, slipped under his arm, so that it now lay on his chest and pulled him closer to himself. He looked at his face, then smiled and kissed his forehead. "I love you." He said to him, and then fell slowly.
A soldier walked at night through the streets. Suddenly he stopped because he thought he heard a noise. But there was nothing for miles around. So he went on till he abbog in an alley. As it was then again, this noise as if something meander across the floor. And then when he heard a sardonic laugh, he was so panicked that he immediately drew his sword.
"Your sword will do no good to you, my delicious dinner.", Someone said to him. Suddenly, something slithered around him, he looked up, saw the head of a cobra, its mouth opened instantly. He could only cry for a moment before he was eaten together with sword and armor. A moment later, someone walked into the street where just yet until the soldier was.
"Did you have eaten just such a young soldier?" He asked. One heard only the choke down the same getätigen meal before he replied: "Oh Setix, jealous that I've not eaten you," he laughed out and said, "Believe me, I would have gotten you only stomach cramps, Arcade." Arcade laughed as he built up before Setix hissing.
Then it was not long before his body was slowly humanized and he stood in his fine suit. "I believe you love. And as for this young man, I can only say. The younger ones are always the juiciest and tastiest, "he said, and licked it with a forked tongue over his lips.
"Whatever you say. Anyway, we should keep us from something immediately covered. Finally we have our orders. "Said Setix demanding. "I understand. I want to heat up even the wrath Rubinos. "Agreed to the arcade and disappeared with Setix, as well as five other characters in the dark of night.
