Stories to come...

Heres chapter 2 of : The Chronicles of the Archmagi.

Not sure why i named it, but yea.

Chapter 2: Part 1: A newcomer.

Pure put up a victorious face when he returned to the ranks. With the defeat of Magina, he could be pronounced as the best swordsman in the world.

"You should have seen his face when I pinned him to the ground" exclaimed Pure as he mentioned it for the umpteenth time.

"GAHH! Shut your trap Pure, I am trying to sleep here." groaned Valtaya, as he turned around." We can do without any more of your victory. I predict the undead coming tomorow, we should get most of our rest now."

" Yea Pure, even though i seen you defeat Magina, we can do without your sayings." snorted Ina, who was covering his head with his pillow.

The next day arrived with a certain haste. Sunlight blazed upon Valtaya's face as he woke up, rubbing his eyes. The war cries could be heard, but in the midst of them, a terrible shriek dominated them. Valtaya shook his head as he stumbled into the battlements, fully clothed and armed with his trusty staff.
" They brought in the banshees. We will experience a sudden change of loyalty this round" muttered Valtaya.

The battle proceeded without further ado. Pure did not dash into the clash of armies. As Valtaya predicted, the banshees started possessing the front line, and it confused the defense line as the undead and human line merged. Pure didn't care, for the number of banshees were limited, and rushed down along with the others. Like a humongous beast the warrior raged on, hacking and slashing his way. But halfway through the mayhem he was torn between human and undead, as he fought not only the undead, but his other self.

"You know you are not human, why bother to defend their puny race?"

"Even though I am not human, the undead is worse than them."

"You dumb whoreson, the humans will die out eventually, instead of enjoying immotaility, why bother sacrificing it?"

"It is because I am Pure, and I seek to repent from the mistake I made long time ago."

The menancing voice faded, and Pure was sent back to the battlements of human and undead, stunned.

Moniz saw Pure's temporailly weakness, and fired a fiery arrow to the nearest enemy. It destroyed the possesed human immediately, and the banshee was torn away from the screaming of flesh. But the others was advancing, ghouls and humans alike. A shadow was casted over the land, creating a temporaily darkness. Pure was left in the middle of battle, stunned still. Valtaya looked and turned away, closing his eyes.

A beam of light came down from nowhere, destroying the darkness as it pierced through. Banshees were torn away from their bodies, and were scarred by the brightness. A lone druidess stood beside Pure, supporting him. With a wave of her wand, lightning bolts streaked down upon the nearest of the undeads, and teleported him to safety.

"Who are you, druidess?"

"I will answer later, for now it is not the time to talk" with that the lone druidess teleported back, and resumed the battle.

A terrible voice ravaged the land, and the disfigured forms of the abdominations stumbled into the battlefield. Hacking and slashing their way, the mass of sewn bodies were a terrible sight to behold. An abdomination reared on its legs, sending a killing blow towards the druidess. To Valtaya's surprise the beast froze on the spot, give time for her to escape.

"Time is really what we need...." Moniz said as she created an explosion in the midst of abdominations.

"Yeap, and I should be down there fighting..." muttered Pure as he came round. Grabbing spare swords, he rushed down in a bladedance. He killed like a dancer, with grace and brutaillity. Valtaya heaved a sigh, gathered the forces of nature and casted Genesis, destroying most of the abdomination battlement. What Valtaya was focusing on was the lone druidess, freezing whatever came close to her.

She kept on throwing thunder spears, and when the enemy got too close to her, she changed and fired an arrow of some unknown magical mean. Destroying her enemies with ease, she moved on to the main camp. But she teleported back instantly after she set a foot into the camp.

"The undead camp.......is too strong to.. be... penetrated......" she said as she stumbled into the base camp.

"To blazes with that, look at Pure!" exclaimed Valtaya.

Pure was causing most of the mayhem. Striking down an abdomination with a quick blow, he moved on, backhanded a blow to his side and striked back, causing instant death. He hurled his swords towards one of the undead death knights, but they stopped in midair and dropped to the ground. The undead gave a huge roar, and charged towards Pure. Pure tightened his wrists, and gathered the sources of power shrinking around him as the undead masses circled around him....

Sensing the danger of his friend, Ina rushed forward, but was stopped by Moniz. "Its too late..... he might be already dead considering the amount of undead....."

"No, he is not. Look at the sky." Ina pointed.

The sky was full of dark clouds, and suddenly a figure dropped down. It was Pure!
And he brought along a friend.

The thunder dragon wrecked his way in the undead army, and Pure was there fighting alone with his bare fist. He retreated while the dragon caused a distraction, and Ina rushed down with the rest of the forces. Throwing Pure a sword, he rushed down, swinging his spear in fury. Though strong, Pure collasped after he returned to safety. Moniz was beside him, holding his hand and weeping.

"He is out of energy...His energy source is almost drained.... He might not survive......" Moniz weeped.

Valtaya closed his eyes, and looked away....

The undead was drawn back, with their army half destroyed. It was rumored that the undead will strike again in a few days, with the help of the frost wryms they brainwashed. With Pure half dead and the army almost destroyed, Valtaya wondered whether they might survive the next attack. He stood, watching the moon, which was shining fully.

The druidess approached him, showing her hand.

"Oh, its you. Thank you for helping our army drive away the undead today. We could do with you help. My name is Valtaya, by the way."

"Nice to meet you Valtaya, and I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Subosi, and I am a Ice mage."

"Subosi, one of the 3 renowned archmagi in this land?"

"I take it as a yes."

"It is a pleasure. The undead will strike again, with our forces almost gone, how are we going to win this battle? The undead are always back....I always lose hope whenever i fight them....I can only sit here on my backside watching the deaths take place...."

"Its alright, just leave it to us. But, theres a mystery I want to solve. It regards the warrior whom I saved."

"His name is Pure by the way, and he is one of the greatest heros i have ever seen. Why? do you doubt his abilities?"

"No, I doubt his spirit. Why did he get stunned? No one has ever been stunned by the undead, only slain."

A deafening silence stood in between them as Valtaya looked at Subosi with a flash of anger.

"Pure is half undead."
