Tales of Dark: Final Quest in the Star Valley...




Outside was a little bit cold and dark...The sun set a while ago but the moon still didn't appeard on the blue sky. Only few stars were spreading their light above the silent valley. Some steps were heard in the night,fast light steps that headed throught the Valley Sih'kar,also knowed as the Star Valley because of the milions of shining rocks that covered the soil and at the moon's light they were starting to glow like a sky on earth. But in that night it was not the case. The moon was still refusing to show her pale face and to iluminate the path of the only person in the whole valley. It was a girl,almost a young woman who suddently stoped. She looked like a worrier,dressed with lionskin boots that reached her knees, a short skirt from silver silk,and a brown corset was covering her bust. She had a golden belt tied arund her and at the belt she were two short swords with blue hilts and guards with the same colour. In her back,a bow could be seen,which served as her mainly weapon Her hair was long,brown and tied in a ponytail. The reason she stopped was because of the wind. He suddently changed his course,and she could sense something was not right. She knew that...she spended to many years training under the Kil'tar the master of Throne Hid'sar,Kongdoom of Wind. As an apprendice to him,she started while she was little a severe training under him,and now she reached a level where she could manipulate the wind as she pleased. Althought she knew something was not right,she continued walking into the night.
Suddently the earth started to shake under her feet and she jumped back. From the soil three stone golems took form;they were 10 feet high and made from hard stone. She realised after she saw their dark red eyes that they were not frendly at all,but foes. She took her fighting stance and drew her swords with a metalic sound. One of the there golems headed toward her and slamed the ground creating a shockwave that removed the ground around him and the wave headed to the girl that jumped high in the sky becoming one with the night for one moment. She landed on the golem's back and she crossed her swords. While she closed her eyes,the blades started glowing in a pale blue colour. That was the secret of her swords, if she concentrated her energy into them,their blades could cut throught anything. In a couple of seconds,she took the golems head off and severed him in pieces. She could not rest as the other two golems stared firing red beams of distructive energy from their eyes aiming for her. But she was to fast for them. After avoiting the blasts,she headed towards them and cuted them into pile of rocks. "Who summoned them?" asked the girl with loud voice for herself.
She knew that summoned creatures must have a summoner in the colse range. But she couldn't finish her thoughts becouse of the earth that started to tremble behind her again. When she turned her head,she sow the tree golems back on their feet,but this time they were not from stone,but diamond,on of the hardest rock of the world. She didn't,stayed much to think and went fot them. She rised her speed until she reached the flash level and started atacking. After a couple of atacks she stopped. Althought she was to fast for them to even catch her with their eyes,theyr body deflected all her atacks,her blades doing nothing more than scratching the golems. They fired another beam atack as shee stood at over 60 feet away from her,but she deflected it with her swords by crossing them and creating a shield.Then,two golems hited the ground with their fists. The girl expected another shockwave,but she was wrong, no shockwave started,but the soil at her feet begun to shake and from it diamond spears pierced the soil,trying to reach her. She founded refugee behind a bigger stone,but she couldn't remain much there because of the last golem who came running and smashd the rock with his bare hands trying to get her.

She put her swords back to their guards and she took the bow from her back and rised it foward. After she evaded anotehr beam atack which almost got her,she opened a little bag that was tied at her belt and from it she got 3 green little gems. she selected one and the other two she put them back in the little bag. As she was running and jumping from one place to another,she closed her fist around the gem. A green light appeard in her palm and it soon transfrmed in an greenlight arrow. She streched her bow at maximum and placed the arrow. She stopped from running and waited for the golem to approch..she couldn't afford to miss,so she stood there as he came running towards her. She fired.....The green light took it's flight with tremendeous speed and pierced the golems head. A scream of pain was heard from the golem's mouth as he crushed down. A smile could be seen on the girl's face while the other two golems started atacking her again. She put another gem in her hand,and another one fell hiting hard the ground. For the third one,the girl took two gems and fired them simultanius.
One of the arrow dystroied the golem while the other one continued flying aimesly,when it suddently headed the ground and a scream of pain was heard again. This time it was a human scream,so the girl headed there very fast. In fact that was her plan from the moment she saw the tree golems. She knew that the summoner must be around and must be to weak to fight her face to face ,so she used the time while she fought those golems to find out the summoner's position. Now she stood in front of an little creature,coverd all with a green and rusty cloack. His face was all covered by a piece of black silk and only his eyes could be seen. He was lieing at her feet with a bleeding hole in his right shoulder. The girl put a foot on his wound and while he started to scream again and was bearly breathing,she asked" Why are you trying to kill me?
"Who send you ?" her voice was cold and calculated and the prisoner started to talk slowly"I'm part of the Hire'sah Thieves from Grie'stol",the location she was headed. SHe reminded then the words of her master "While going to Gri'stol,you will encounter many enemies on your road and in the town even more,so ypu need to go,and find the inn caled BlackSheep,there you'll pick up a packet for your King,you must bring it here right away." "What is in that packet" asked the girl courios to find out more about this and a little annoyed because she was going an a mision and she didn't even know what she was going to carry back with her. "It's a serious matter, Ki'Yuu,you must not let anyone see you with that packet and if the enemy knows about what you're carrying and you're in grave danger,then the first thing you do,you destroy the packet...understood?" Althought she wasn't so sure about it she replied a brief "Yes master" and she left on the road.
Now Ki'Yuu was forced to find out who was after her."Who commanded you to pursue me and try to kill me"asked she...at first the man refused to talk,but as she put pressure with her foot on his wound ,he finaly gave up. "Our lider Uert had information that a spy from the Wind throne was headed this way so I was sent to stop that spy...but you're no ordinary worrier...no much can move like you do". "Stop talking to much" replied the girld annoued by his talk,and by the fact that he was right. Her past was dark and no matter how much she tried she couldn't forget her painfull childhood as well as she couldn't forget how she used to beg in the square for something to eat or drink. "That happened long ago" said she to herself and took another look at her enemy who was still under her foot. She removed her foot and drew one of the sword. She poined it's edge at the neck of the foe,but she didn't kill him,she just severd his ligaments so that he could not walk anymore for a wile,in case he was going to survive after so much bleading. "I'll let you live......for now" and with no other words she started walking while she put her sword back in the guard. "Something is not right" said Ki'Yuu and headed further into the night. Her path was luminated by the milions of rocks which started glowind after the moon appeard on the sky. For a moment she alowed hersefl to enjoy the view but soon she rushed her step heading to Gri'stol,to fulfill the last quest as a servant of the Kingdoom of Wind. After that she could be free from her duties and free from all,but it seemed that it wasn't going to be easy.........
