The wooden door to Yuki’s room flecked the hallway as Yuki smashed through it, closely followed by a demonically possessed Shiro. Spotting the girl he grunted as he plucked her from the ground with one hand, his claws digging into her neck. As he leaned his head in to bite, he flinched, his body jerking right as the book made contact with his face. Shiro turned his head to see a tiny man backing away. Throwing the girl to the ground he started after him, flexing his fingers as he approached.
“That was all I had planned, where is that cunt of a kingslayer when you need him?” Petyr turned and ran, but his short stumpy legs did little and the beast was on him in seconds, swiping at his legs, the dwarf staggered forward before crashing to the ground, releasing a painstaking wheeze as the air fled him.
"Wait wait, by the gods don't eat me. I taste of piss and ass!" The dwarf shut his eyes as the demon loomed over him. He was about to crawl into a foetal position when a whizzing noise flew past him. Opening his eyes he saw a shield fly through the sky. The demon batted it away with his right arm and roared before charging over Petyr and straight for the person that threw the shield.
Will smirked as he sheathed his sword and instead drew out his dagger. Taunting the monster with a derogatory hand gesture, he too charged. When Will was in striking range of his claws, Shiro brutishly swung for him. Will tossed the dagger into his right hand as he ducked under the demon's arm, slicing his side with the dagger as he passed under. Now with their backs to each other they both simultaneously swung around to strike each other. Will managed to stick his blade in the demon's back and draw his sword before he was knocked against the nearest wall by Shiro's brutish swing. As he hit the wall his sword fell from his grasp, clanging on the ground below, where he too feel soon after.
"You think you're so good you foolish little knight." Shiro's voice grew deeper following the transformation and spoke as though his mouth was ablaze. As Will tried to get back to his feet the demon laughed and send his foot towards the Kingslayer's head. Rolling out of the way mere moments before the foot would have made contact, Will merely postponed the seemingly inevitable as Shiro turned with him, and once again, sent his foot towards him. "You're not half as good as you say you are, grahaha." Will's eyes shot up to the foot, and then left to his blade, noting Petyr creeping up to it. Smiling, Will shot up to a standing position, catching his foot and holding it tightly between his arm and his side. "Maybe, but it still means I'm better than you." Yanking his leg, Shiro staggered backwards, but was kept from falling by Will's grip.
"In the name of Queen Artemis Everheart, first of her name and protector of the realm, I William Brigand, Commander of the Queen's guard, sentence you to die. My sword."
Petyr nodded and tossed the blade with this two hands Towards Will's open palm. Will caught the blade perfectly by its grip and flashed it over his shoulder. It cut the wind as it came down, slicing the demons head in two, straight down the middle. Releasing his grip, the corpse crumbled to the ground, lifeless. Sheathing his blade he turned to the dwarf and nodded before stepping over the corpse and beginning to walk on down the hallway. Kneeling himself down beside Yuki he extended his arm to help her up. "Milady I do apologise, but there was naught else that could have been done. Are you unharmed?" |
