Chapter 10: A Stir in the Air

An attack! Sarah was nearly killed! Joshua did not hinder his efforts in trying to find who was trying to kill Sarah. But looking at the black spear that was thrown at them, he realized who attempted the assassination. The young man drops the spear with a stern expression on his face. "She's here." he mumbled.

Sarah heard what he said and shot to her feet. "Who's here?!" she said with a slightly frantic voice.

"Lilith," he replied, "the vampyre Assassin."

"And her target is me?"

"It would appear so." Joshua hasted towards the window as quickly as a wolf and flew out it. When he hits the ground, he rolled to absorb the impact. He then revealed his blade, shuffling his eyes left and right. He remained knelled down until Sarah calmly stepped outside. Joshua stood firmly on his feet. He glanced at Sarah with his keen blue and green eyes.

"We need to keep our guard up. I've heard stories of how she attacks people." he made clear to Sarah. Sarah nodded her head, acknowledging Joshua's warning. She kept her blade in a good grip and readied herself for anything. Sarah felt the horrible feeling like as if a pair of eyes were glancing at her from above, ready to sink their blade into her flesh at any given moment.

From the roofs, death hung from above and was staring at her prey. Lilith observed her target and the one who was protecting her. A evil smirk grew on her face as she silently drew her rapier and quietly waited for the chance to strike. Joshua glanced behind his back and saw the vampyre waiting to ambush.

Joshua pointed his blade at the vampyre and shot five Fire Waves at her. Lilith abandoned her position and zoomed off the rooftop. She was quicker than any jaguar, any creature you could imagine. As quickly as Joshua noticed the cold azure blue eyes staring at them from above, those eyes had disappeared to a different location.

The Fire Waves hit the house and set it ablaze. The flames danced in the ten mile-per-hour wind, and carried it to the next house. And the smoke and embers shot into the air like fireworks. The flames quickly engulfed the building. Joshua did not care for the building, until he heard the innocent cries of a small helpless boy. The boy cried "Help me! Help me!" repetitively.

Joshua, no matter what the situation, could not ignore a crying child's call. Especially when it's his fault. He quickly glanced back at Sarah. "I've got to save him." he stated, quick and acute. She briefly nodded her head, telling him it's alright. The young man rushed into the burning building as quickly as his own heartbeat.

He broke down the door and fury of smoke hammered into his face. The smoke infiltrated his lungs once he took his first gasp of breath. Despite the conditions, he continued on. The flames and embers consumed everything in it's path, leaving behind mere ashes of the memories it had eaten away. Joshua was sweating bullets and his breathing was quickly slowing down.

His body was becoming sluggish, and his legs were weakening. The air he breathed in was smothered by toxic smoke. He was only human afterall, right? Humans can't endure air that was shrouded by dark gray smoke for very long.

When he reach the stairs, he walked up them. The stairs felt very weak by Joshua's judgment. He continued to walk up them despite knowing it could break apart at any moment. When he reached the top of the stairs, the flames were at their peak. It was just pure scorching heat up there, like the sun had fallen upon the small little house.

"Where are you?!" he yelled off the top of his lungs to the small boy. "H-Here!" the boy cried, his voice filled with timidness. Joshua seemed to know where to run to, the room furthest from the stairs. The embers and flames whipped at Joshua with scourge. He felt the burn, and the flames blew at him, leaving him slightly burned.

When Joshua finally arrived at the room, he had to catch his breath for it was all lost during the frantic run to this very spot. Joshua stepped into the room and shuffled his head left and right. "Come out. I'm here to help." he assured the boy. The young man glanced at the left hand corner of the room. He didn't see the small boy, but a female.

Joshua immediately knew who it was. "Nyx!?" he yelled.

Nyx looked behind her and saw Joshua. A grin grew on her face and her eyes lit up. "Joshua! So good to see you again." she said, happily.

"Where's the boy?!"

"What? You mean me?" her voice sounded just like the fearful young boy Joshua came to save. "Ha! You're so gullible!"

"Dammit."

Nyx threw her left hand out in-front of her. "As much as I would adore to continue our conversation. You have to die now. So, without further ado, bye!" her voice was normal. A colossal burst of wind suddenly ripped apart the fragile building. Joshua is blown off his feet immediately. Like a ragdoll, he hits several beams of wood before slamming into the first floor. And then the floor of the second floor collapsed on top of him. He was left without control.

As the same strength of a F4 tornado, the winds scattered the building until it was mere planks and remnants of the foundation. It was literally raining burnt up chips of wood. Sarah had watched in horror, but an assassin was still staring at her from above. Seeing as she was distracted, this tree was ripe for the picking.

The next village that was listed on Salomon's list, Gegangen, was where Marcello had arrived at. The sun was most radiant, it's bright light hits Marcello whom was out in the open. He still reeked of blood but it's a smell he grew accustom to. He entered the village with his blade by his side. There were a few men outside, practice fighting.

When Marcello approached them, they grew nervous. They glanced at him, wondering what he was up to. "What do you want?" the man said with an abrupt voice. Marcello gazed into the man's eyes with his crimson red eyes. "To kill you." he softly replied. Marcello disappeared and reappear right in-front of the man as quickly as his reply.

He thrusts his blade into the man's gut. The blood oozed out from the wound and dripped to the dirt below. The man looked breath taken as he let out a silent cry of pain. Marcello briskly pulled out his blade which was soaked in his victim's blood. A slight smirk grew on his face when he glanced at the other man's face. The man was shaken and scared.

Fearful for his life, he ran away from Marcello, screaming along the way. But his efforts were in vain, Marcello had thrown his sword at him. His screaming was cut short, and so was his life. The man fell to the grass below his feet, lifeless. The back of his head was where the Assassin Hunter's blade was sticking out. Marcello walked over to him and took his sword back.

The once colorful green grass was yet another victim to the inescapable wave of poisoning blood that has covered the land.

Meanwhile, back at the Raven Reaper's castle. Abaddon was sitting upon his throne chair, waiting for someone. A young Raven Reaper assassin approached the Angel of Death. He bowed before Abaddon. "My father," he spoke out, "our assassins have arrived at Varrock as you desired."

Abaddon closed his eyes. "Very good," he took a sip of the red wine right next to him. "I cannot wait to finally have the God's Blood Elixir in my possession." he had a slight giggle in his voice.

Back at Varrock, the burning building was destroyed and Lilith was looming over Sarah's head, ready and able to take her life. Nyx gently lands on her feet after she caused quite the mess. And Joshua was under a floor of burnt up wood. And it looked lifeless.

The lower lip of Nyx's stuck out, like she was sad. "Aww..did I kill the cutie with a grumpy attitude?" she cried with a fake sad voice. "Please tell me I don't have to reveal your secret to poor little Sarah to make you spring to life."

The wood suddenly sprouted to life, Joshua broke out of floorboards and rose to his feet. A piece of wood was jammed into Joshua's left arm, leaving that arm dangling down lifeless and oozing with blood. Nyx grew a smile on her face. "That's more like it." she replied.

Lilith jumped down from the rooftop, and lands on the ground silently. With her rapier ready, and Sarah distracted. The vampyre was ready to attack. Joshua looked over and his eyes widened.

"Sarah!! Move!!" he screamed.

When he was distracted, Nyx waved her left index finger in the air. "Silly boy." Nyx stomped down on the ground and spike of rock shot out from the ground and impaled him in the gut.

Sarah rolled out of the way just when Lilith's blade was about to cut through her skin. "Joshua!!!" she screamed.

"Don't let your guard down!" shouted the vampyre from behind. She quickly swings her rapier.

Sarah quickly spun around and guarded Lilith's attack. But the vampyre's strength brought her to her knees. Sarah grits her teeth in frustration. "Dammit," she said in her head, "this isn't enough. I'm going to die if I don't act quickly."

Nyx approached Joshua, who was off his feet by the spike of earth that impaled him. "You should know better not to take your eyes off your enemy."

Blood began to pour out of his mouth. "Shut your mouth.." he replied.

"Tck, tck, tck," she puts her left hand on his right cheek, "and I thought you would be different from the rest of the Assassin Hunters." she sighed. "But I guess not."

Joshua punches the earth spike once and it shatters like glass. He quickly swings his sword but she backflips and dodges. Nyx lands firmly on her feet with an evil smirk on her face. "Ahh. So, we're kin, eh?" she stated.

Joshua had a serious look on his face. "It does not matter. All that matters is you," he replied, "Nyx Aubelueur, are a murderer and a sin that must be purged from this world. Say your prays, and say farewell to your life, dissolute murderess."
