On The Edge Of Death

Death by Sword

We land on the ground, hard. My mask cracked open, and my gun fell out of my hands. The horse cracked, and then flew off quickly, getting out of harms way. That left me the odd flying creature, who flew down to attack, but I drew my knife and jumped on it to stab it. Before I did however, arrows flew into the creature, and it dropped. Then I saw the same arrows fly by me, and I rolled and started sprinting the opposite direction of the arrows, dodging around trees. I saw what could be the well through the trees, as it looked to be a natural spring surrounded by rocks, and in the center there was a sword, a zweihander to be exact. I rushed forward, but I got shot in the leg and I fell. I turned to see a few shadowy figures spread out among the trees, holding bows. I drew another knife and threw it at one, then I broke off the arrow and blinked to the sword. The sword was amazing, pure gold and glowing, but as soon as I touched it, it darkened and shifted to white and gold, with vicious wolves engraved all over it. I felt revitalized, and with a new fervor to kill these hunters. I charged at them, and they dropped their bows in favor of small swords. I killed the first one and the blade turned red, I turned to the next and used my magic to asphyxiate him, but the energy wasn't green, it was now red, like the blade, and before I could turn to the last one he threw his shortsword into my chest and he ran. I fell back into the well, as the forest faded around me.
