Forged in Lightning

Black flames came out of the golden knight's nostril, he was hunched over like a beast, his breath evaporating the snow around him, his reptilian green eyes glowed black, flames leaking out of his eyes.

His eyes burned with the intensity of a fallen sun.

His left cheek twitching, his eyebrows furrowed, his mouth slightly open. His previous pristine silver armor turned black, his face turned into a sneer, he pounded on the floor and launched himself on all fours towards Aegeon, in the air he drew his sword and swung, everywhere he trailed the winter environment, turned into one reminiscent of summer.

"RUN GO!"

He screamed behind him, towards the group. "WE WILL MEET LATER"

"MAY REVERA WITNESS MY FAITH" He yelled, thunder rumbled, and dark clouds gathered above Aegeon, he planted his feet and held up his spear made of lightning.

The knight's sword came down with an intensity unmatched.

"Where is it?" The madman spoke as he swung down

He cut down the spear as if it was butter, and his sword a hot knife.

Fuck

Aegeon stepped back, worry written on his face, lightning once again forming in his hand.

The knight landed with a thud, his face tilted, his expression one of absolute madness.

"WHERE IS IT? He yelled, his breath full of heat, his surroundings quickly turning into a land devoid of winter.

"It was this bastard, wasn't it?" Her words sounding soft, with a silent intensity. She outstretched her hand, ice gathering to form an icicle, her cloak fluttering, ice gathering around her, it was as if winter itself was responding to her call. Her eyebrows furrowed, as a sneer formed on her face.

"THEODORE" She yelled, launching the icicle.

Theodores face turned back, his eyes filled with the intensity of a sun, an obvious madness seeped deep inside his black eyes, he stretched his fingers like they were claws and swatted the icicle shattering it to shards, heavy breaths escaping his mouth.

"Pipe Down" He growled, "You're next"

He turned back towards Aegeon.

"YOU INSIGNIFICANT FUCK" Theodore roared as he charged towards Aegeon, it seemed like he was a beast in human form. He raised his longsword up, black flames gathering at the tip, growing bigger, and brighter until a massive sword was formed above him.

"ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS STAY THERE AND DIE" His sword came down, the force tearing sound, and cleaving the air.

Aegeon barely dodged it.

He turned back, looking at the clearing behind him, everything there was flattened.

All life in that attack was extinguished.

Sweat dripped down Aegeon's brow, his eyes widening. 

Oh fuck, I can't get hit.

Thank Revera, they weren't moving that way.

He prayed silently and quickly that they wouldn't find any obstacles along their way.

He gritted his teeth, transforming into lightning, and reappearing farther away.

"I don't know you"

Aegeon pulled back his arm, the air cackling, a spear of lightning formed in his hand, he stepped forward, his muscles tightening as he threw the bolt, with all his strength.

It rippled through the air, creating a white line, extinguishing anything in its wake, its heat even affecting the air around it.

Theodore caught it, the sneer turned fiercer, his hand burning, frying from the bolt, his knuckles whitened as he tightened his hand crushing the thunderbolt with his strength.

His hand now black and burned grabbed his sword the hilt melting and melding with his hand from the heat radiating from the remnant of the bolt.

What the fuck

"YOU STOLE MY LIGHT GIVE IT BACK, YOU WORTHLESS WASTE OF AIR"

Aegeon blinked, Theodore, disappearing from his sight.

"PRIEST BEHIND YOU" Isabella screamed.

Aegeon looked down, he could see the top half of Theodore's sword sticking out from his chest lightning formed in his throat, as he struggled to cough it out.

His vision slowly fading.

Aegeon sprang up, his eyes ablaze with lightning, he looked around, his arms up ready to fight, a lightning spear in his hand.

Damned cave Damned game, Damned Knights he cursed as he kicked the walls of the cave.

Calm yourself.

Maybe he can make it this time, a bit faster.

He went down the mountain, he killed the goblins, leveled up, he freed the captives, he left the cellar.

Once again, a wall of black flames erupted before him.

"YOU!" Theodore roared, the same words as if he was reading from a script.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!" He screamed.

This time Aegeon's head was cut clean off.

He woke up again in the cave touching his throat before running out of the mountain and repeating his actions.

He made it on site faster, he killed the goblins, he freed the captives, once again he was met with the black flames.

Theodore killed him, with a sword to the face.

He woke up grabbing his face.

Aegeon didn't care, he moved again, he slaughtered the goblins, the chief was dealt with faster, he freed the captives and was met with a wall of flames.

He died.

Again, he made it and freed them, he died this time a level higher.

He woke up, he stood up, he moved faster, not a moment of rest, he cut down the goblins, dealt with the chief, he made it to the captives, he opened the doors, he left the cellar he was met with a wall of black flames.

He died, cleaved in half.

He woke up, touching his head, the memories of being cleaved in half still vivid, he left the cave, he moved faster, no time wasted, he cut down the goblins, his spearmenship increasing, he cut down the chief faster, he freed the captives he left the cellar, the black flames were there.

He made it farther in the fight, him and Isabella managed to wound him before he ripped Aegeon's throat out.

He woke up and touched his throat, he didn't care, he got up and left the mountain, killed the goblins, finished the chief, freed the captives, left the cellar, a black flame wall erupted.

He died to the giant sword.

He woke up, left the cave, killed the goblins, slaughtered the chief, leveled up, freed the captives, left the cellar, black flames greeted him once again.

He died to his claws.

Again, he repeated the actions, getting the same results, and again and again, each time faster than the last, it didn't matter, he was never fast enough.

He did to so many times he lost count, but it didn't matter, Aegeon hated to lose.

I need to be fast, faster, I need to be faster he yearned

He woke up he left the mountain, he killed the goblins, he threw his spear, the chief dead in one hit, he freed the captives, he left the cellar, a wall of black flames.

"YOU!" Theodore roared; the same words he always spoke echoing in his ears.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!"

Thunder rumbled, dark clouds gathered, lightning struck Aegeon's hand forming a spear made of heavenly lightning.

He slammed it down, electricity dancing around him, his eyes flashing with lightning, his breath leaking thunder.

Theodore was not much different, his black flames leaked out of his nose, his green eyes lit with black fire, he was hunched over, it seemed more like a beast imitating a man than a human imitating a beast.

"Go!" Aegeon commanded the group behind him, the sounds of hurried footsteps echoed from behind him "Revera witness my faith" He softly spoke his prayer.

Theodores cheeks flickered, the corner of his lips twitched, one side rising, revealing his sharp teeth, his nostrils flaring as his eyes narrowed. 

Hot breath came out of his mouth melting the floor Infront of him.

Theodore pounded on the floor and launched himself on all fours towards Aegeon, he drew his sword and swung, his black flames following him, creating desperation in his wake.

Aegeon swung matching Theodores swing, the sword and the spear battled for superiority. The ground beneath Aegeon crumbled creating a crater, the hole getting deeper as their weapons fought. 

Aegeon clenched his teeth, he felt his knees quaking, the main difference between Theodore and Aegeon being, that Theodore didn't want this win as bad as him.

Aegeon's bent knees started to straighten as he pushed back with his spear

"It was this bastard, wasn't it?" Isabellas familiar words rang out.

He could repeat her words by heart if he wanted to.

Aegeon didn't have to look to know what was happening.

"THEODORE" She yelled, launching the icicle that was formed by her.

Aegeon and Thedore glared at each other, a battle of thunder and flame, the icicle coming from Isabella striking him in the back, penetrating his armor. He gritted his teeth and spit blood on Aegeon's face, unwilling to lose this clash. 

Aegeon used this opportunity to break his stance and slice him, cutting through his armor and leaving a big wound on him.

"YOU INSIGNIFICANT FUCK" Theodore roared touching his wound which was already cauterized from the heat of the lightning.

He raised his longsword up, his left shoulder slanted, a black fire that seemed to be a black hole sucked up everything around it transforming it into flames, gathering at the tip of his longsword, growing in sizer, proportion and luminescence, until a sword of massive proportions was formed.

"ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS STAY THERE AND DIE" The massive sword cutting down everything in its path.

Aegeon dodged, shifting into lightning and punching him on the left cheek, not even a moment later Isabella morphed into ice, and formed a gauntlet of ice, doing the same to his right cheek.

Together Isabella and Aegeon, fought an arduous and long battle until they finally killed Theodore with great effort.

He stood hunched over, Theodore's dead body, exhausted and breathing heavy.

"Finally," he softly muttered

"Nice job priest, I didn't know you had it in you" Isabella spoke, also equally exhausted, her form filled with wounds, sitting down on the grass exhausted.

Wait why hasn't the system given me any rewards

A look of horrid realization made its way onto his face.

Oh no

The sound of knights marching was heard, a silver armored knight that Aegeon turned his head and spotted a familiar golden-haired knight he hoped he'd never see again, and with the same fervent look in his golden eyes, he cut them both down.

What the hell

He thought before his vision faded into darkness.
