The top of the warehouse opened, just as the engines turned on, my ears were deafened by the noise that reached my ears. Before the jet had actually started to move, Aoif grabbed my attention and had strapped to a seat when I sat down next to her.
The roar of the engines reached its peak as the tip was pointed upwards, angled so that it would reach the distant mountains.
I looked at moria, who was just like strapped into a carrier that made sure that she would not be knocked around and accidentally impale us.
With that final check of my surroundings I took a final deep breath and braced myself for liftoff.
BOOOM
The sound barrier was broken imdiately, the jet had reached its final speed in a matter of seconds judging by the scenery that passed by.
Just two seconds after the jet had started to fly did it slow down as it hovered above the mountains.
I heard as a ladder was climbed down, the soft clangs echoed into the cabin as Rhea appeared.
"That…" I began, "was fast"
"Yeah, the jet is super powerful, that wasn't even a percentage of how fast this could go" with that she started to explain the chanics behind the construction of this, however much I wanted to just doze off, I didn't, I saw the look in Rhea's eyes as she explained, her hands wildly reaching this way and that as her speech reached its crescendo. Even though I didn't understand much of what she was saying, I still nodded along, committing everything she said to mory. I could tell by the passion, just how much she loved this jet.
…
"You can exit there," Rhea said, her finger pointed to the ladder that we had entered the jet from.
I nodded, my eyes still sleepy from the speech slash lecture that she had given us. However I didn't fall asleep, I didn't want to disrespect Rhea when Darwin was giving her so much attention. It would have been petty of to sleep while she put her heart into that lecture.
Though now that it was done I looked to my side and grabbed my dagger, as my feet carried to the exit.
I climbed down the ladder as I followed Darwin. A kick to the exit and it opened, my grip on the ladder tightened as the pressure attempted to stabilize and drag out.
Though when I looked down I already saw Darwin falling into the camp, his hair kicking in the wind as he fell further and further.
I sighed, my own grip loosening as I dropped down, idly noting how the hatch that we fell out of closed itself.
…
An almost impregnable barrier, it covered the whole of the mountain. Various traps and souls could be seen as they patrolled around the mountain, weapons in hand. So had bows, so had spears, others were heavily ard, their whole body trapped in a tal cage, a sword at their side. However that was not what I was looking for, to even enter the camp we would need to pierce through the powerful barrier. A smile played on my lips as the wind whipped my hair this way and that, I had seen sothing interesting. On the side of one of the n in those iron cages they call armor was a soul that connected directly to the barrier. If I could kill that soul or at least cut the connection then the barrier would fall or at least be weakened.
Thinking to myself as I fell it was most likely that there was so sort of power system inside the barrier that supplied most of the energy though killing that connection would weaken it. That now left with two options, to cut the connection and weaken the barrier, or to attack the barrier directly.
BOOOM
My eyes narrowed, my eyelids attempting to keep the wind out of my face, Darwin while I had been falling had pierced through the barrier.
I tucked my arms to the side, my body falling faster.
…
BANG
My feet fell on the ground, hundreds of elves' eyes turning towards , above I felt as Aoif fell towards .
With a slight grunt I caught her in my arms, placing her to the side as I brandished my spear.
A smile appeared on my face as I held out my hand, taunting them into coming towards .
CLANG
SLASH
it seed as though one of them had taken the provocation as soon after his own spear was deflecting, my body going low as I slashed upwards, moria ripping him in half.
The ones that followed after weren't stunned in the slightest, in fact it seed as though they were sneering at the stupidity of their comrade.
With moria pointed up I dashed towards them, Aoif following closely behind, her eyes glowing a faint purple as her soul vision activated.
CLANG
My first attack was blocked, an attack coming from my side as another elf counterattacked for the one my spear was locked with.
My hand left the spear, letting moria fall to the ground as I fell with her. The slash that was ant for being directed towards the comrade that he had tried to save.
Blood spilled on my form as I picked up moria and cut the legs off of the one that had attacked .
…
I blocked another attack, my legs crouching down as I jumped over the heads of multiple elf heads, landing on one of their shoulders, my dagger piercing their soul.
Another jump as the elf fell to the ground brought to Darwin's side, surrounded by hundreds of elves.
I couldn't help but grin, the blood that had spilled upon my body, the scent of death, the fear of death, it all added up into a joyful experience. The cherry on top being that I could share this with Darwin.
