The Order Of Swords

Chapter 8: Order 8: Spelunca gelida



Diople is still sitting and talking with Achlys as he notices the mark on his cheek but schrugs it off as it's not important ,"boy from the guild... Thank you for the sword but I am gonna go outside again was fun talking to you" Achlys pushes him outside and closes the door ,"bye bye" Achlys shouts as Diople looks stunned of what just happened but decides to walk away as he smiles ,"you are gonna be strong Achlys... Everyone will admire you" he mumbles

Achlys thinks,"should I go to the mountains again or around the mountains?" As he thinks that Cryo jumps on his shoulder and rubs his head against Achlys head,"hey Cryo stop it" he says as he smiles with gratitude ,"Cryo you're coming with me!" He orders as Cryo happily puts his head against Achlys ,"hey Cryo haha that's cold stop that" he laughs as it's really cold when Cryo did that

Time passes by and we see Achlys and Cryo walking towards the mountains having confidence in himself and smiling ,"Cryo let's go on a adventure together it will be our first time" he picks up Cryo and is smiling with alot of hope as Cryo is trying to do the same Achlys laugh ,"you trying to smile Cryo haha" Cryo flies up in circles

As they both enter the mountains Achlys looks behind him in order to remember the road before he turns around and walks further in ,"Cryo keep the surroundings in check!" He shouts with believe and hope as Cryo chreeches in order to acknowledge the order

As they enter deeper the snow gets deeper and deeper as the sky gets darker by every minute ,"Cryo it's going to snow soon we should find a place to stay for a night" Cryo flies around happy and looks around to search for a place as he sees a deep hole as Achlys notices it also a bit later with nervousness and stress he questioned if he goes in but he does it anyway

Both of them are in the hole and notices it's all frozen they go deeper as the floor gets more slippery the more they go in to one point that Achlys slips and falls slipping somewhere dark and Cryo losing of where he is,"Cryooooo!!! Stay there! I will find a way back!!" He shouts with fear and anxiety while the cave is getting darker and darker

He slips into a room with blue flame torches ,"what is this..?" He looks around and sees a pedestal with some kind of book on it he goes to grab it but senses something behind him and dodges and attack from a monster ,"an ice... Skeleton?" As he is question why the ice skeleton can fly and has a scythe and it emits a blue flame

The monster slashes down making Achlys block the attack breaking the ice under him after Achlys dashes at him and tries to slash it but misses while the sword let's out some sort of mist,"mist? Wait I can use that!" He swings his sword around making the environment misty and Achlys jumping and running around

He hits the monster a few times until the monster uses the skill "slash of death" to remove all the mist in the big icy room as Achlys is behind him and hits him on the head and as the sword hits him the skeleton is send into a wall making the cave shake and big chunks of ice fall of the ceiling on the monster pinning it down ,"you're dead..." Achlys says that as he raises his sword and swings it towards the head but it isnt doing anything

Achlys takes it in and Understands he can't beat the monster as the monster appears behind him and hits him again hitting the other mountain tops

As he stands up all bloody he notices Cryo flying towards him sending ice spikes towards the monster before he gets hit sending into the ground ,"CRYOOO!!"

I see" he dashes towards the monster and slashes the sword away as he comes close but gets hit again sending him in the ground

Cryo sees it happening and creates ice spikes to hit the monster from beneath as the spikes hit the monster screams in pain before attacking Cryo ,"thank you Cryo" Achlys comes Infront of Cryo and stops the attacks before dashes again breaking the ground underneath him as Achlys attacks the head of the monster the attack created a shockwave knocking the sword away as the monster after a while lays down slowly dying ,"you're finished skeleton" as he kills the monster

Achlys stands proud over the monster before collapsing as the Adrenaline stops ,"I guess... I won..." He falls on the ground as Cryo cries for help not knowing what to do

----------------------------------------------------

In the city of loipetras

In a room sitting Tiabishi, Mariola, Saria, Nox and Toiaka looking at each other and not knowing what to do with Tiabishi and trying to come up with a plan to get Achlys back

,"do you feel any better Tiabishi" mariola asks with concern as she have a worried look on her face as Tiabishi nods and tries to stand up but still stumbles,"i feel better but cant even move my legs yet it fucking sucks!" She shouts with anger and annoyance ,"I wanna find that meatball!!" She again shouts with a tone of sadness but more anger showing a few tears

Mariola hugs her as Saria looks at them and sighs,"why did that idiot leave..." She said with a tone of annoyance as Nox replies ,"to giving himself a better view of what it really means on getting stronger, he is putting his emotions aside and looking for strength, He is scared to lose again to lose you Tiabishi." he explains as the other look at him and understands it for tiabishi she is blushing and looking down

,"he... Did it for me? You think?" She asks with a tone of hope and Curiosity and showing a blushing face as mariola looks serious ,"i think so too before he left he took so many glances to the room back like he was missing something he was missing you Tiabishi the love you have him is important so important to him" mariola reassured Tiabishi with hope knowing that Achlys feels the same yet he doesn't know what to do with it

They all nod as Toiaka starts to talk ,"back to the topic I have a feeling he went to the mountains as you can se..." They look all outside and see the top of an mountain fall off and crashing down shaking the city a little,"what the fuck was that!" They all look in disbelief as they see another gaint slash and ice spikes form before stopping and dies down

----------------------------------------------------

We go into the demon territory as they feel a shake

,"My lord the mountains to the south have been active recently for a while now" as the demon lord sighs having a shadow over him and only his eyes are shining,"it has been defeated after... 20 years..." He says with anger and frustration he stomps the ground shaking the whole castle ,"get my daughter and send her to investigate... NOW!!!" he orders as the messanger nods stands up bows and leaves

Demonking sighs again ,"gonna miss you old friend..."he closes his eyes and clenches his teeth ,"THAT DAMN HERO" he thinks as he lets out bloodlust and shakes the castle with an red aura around the castle

----------------------------------------------------

We return to the mountains as Achlys lays next to the skeleton wounded as Cryo is laying over him protecting him

,"hng" Achlys grunts a little and slowly wakes up and feeling warm wondering why it's warm with a face of concern and sensing the environment,"I don't sense anything sinister" after a while he notices it's Cryo and smiles with happiness ,"CRYOOO" he shouts with happiness as Cryo was in shock and froze a whole dome around them before noticing it's Achlys

He Cubs his head against Achlys with happiness and love ,"skree" he says as he keeps cubbing his head before Achlys standing up and petting him ,"can you remove the dome... Cryo" he asks with kindness and worried voice as he looks at Cryo not listinging and sighs

,"I guess we stay here for a while" he says as Cryo nods and keeps on cubbing his head appearing an frozen water drop tattoo on his hand but not noticing

As the suns set and the stars come into view 2 of the 3 moons show up in the sky shining beautiful in a the black sky as both of them look at them ,"I wish I could grab them... And leave this planet" he said with sadness and happiness as the sound echoes in the dome ,"but I can't keep running away I have to fix what I have broken a promise that I must not forget but already broke" he said as his smile fades away and starts to tear up a little ,"I... Think I have this feeling of botherness to lose her... Yet I don't know what those feelings are but want to do more with it" his voice sounds sad with a tone of happiness but a glimpse of anger

After a while Achlys falls asleep as Cryo lays by his side a soft purr can be heard as he still keeps his surroundings in check as after a while he also falls asleep

----------------------------------------------------

,"the mountains... Of loipetras..." The person travels deeper into the mountains ,"I'm back LOIPETRAS..! "The person shouts with passion and hope
