He put the sword up on his back and helped carry this girl. After a while Chad asked, “Hey Guthix who do you think she is?’ Guthix almost missed the question as the armor the girl was wearing was burning him through his clothing. He was concentrating on trying not think of the pain, he manage to speak though, “I don’t know who she is, I have never seen someone in so much armor or have a sword like this one it doesn’t look like steel or iron. I will say this I don’t think she is from around here though.”

Guthix and the Chad walked a bit carrying this girl when Guthix heard a sound of branches moving in the trees above them. Chad had a stick fall on his head when he looked up there were seven normal vampires up there looking down at them Chad then yelled, “Guthix run! Vampires!”

Chad dropped the arm off of him and took off without thinking, leaving both Guthix and the wounded girl there. Guthix almost fell over since he was only holding one arm, when he got back up he was surrounded on the ground by the seven vampires none of them went after Chad they were not what they were after.

One vampire came up looking like a bat like human saying, “Look here boys, this druid boy found our little toy! Drakan would have been angry if we let this paladin slip through our teeth!” Another vampire said, “Yeah, then we won’t be able to go anywhere without Drakan’s watch dog like Vyrewatchs.” Another said, “Yeah, how about it boy? Run off with your cowardly friend, and we will just forget that you were here! What do you say meat bag?”

Guthix set down the lady paladin carefully then drew the sword on his back. The only fighting skills Guthix has were developed when growing up playing sword fight while using sticks with some other druids and other kids that were born among the camp. Guthix couldn’t fall back onto transforming into a werewolf since he did*’t know how to do it.

The vampires cackled at the sight believing it was one plain old human standing there with a single sword surrounded by seven vampires. The vampire that gave Guthix the choice to leave moved right in front of Guthix as the other surrounded around him. This vampire said, “You are acting very brave, foolish, and very surprising. I always thought you pacifistic followers of Guthix always stayed out of fights, and here you are defending this girl a paladin none less that is very surprising.”

Guthix was glad these vampires were taking their time, as his arm was healing from the burns he sustained from carrying this paladin. Guthix said with no fear on his voice, which his voice was filled with confidence in himself, “I will not allow either of you touch a hair on her head.”

In Guthix’s mind he had only one advantage, which he thought were advantages. The seven vampires were unarmed neither one had a single weapon other than their nails.

The vampire in front of Guthix made a step forward and Guthix reacted, not calculating everything he swung the sword forward. The vampire only simply side stepped out of the way of the sword, then Guthix worked out of instinct as he turned the blade and sung back at this vampire. Yet again it just simply stepped out of the way of the simple sword swing. This time however, the vampire’s eyes looked back towards the vampire that was behind Guthix.

Guthix caught this and only acting on what was in him, he moved faster than he did before as he sung the blade downwards. Then with one quick movement not stopping with the downward swing, he turned and sung upwards with a one handed golfer like swing. Guthix had tons of luck with this as he caught the vampire that was behind him on the side of his stomach, and sliced up in a diagonal line slashing open the vampire.

The hit surprised the six other vampires, the vampire that Guthix hit, and Guthix himself with that slice. The vampire fell to the ground screaming in pain, now rolling around as if it was on fire. The vampire that Guthix turn his back to was no longer in the mood to ‘play’ with his prey, just as Guthix turned his head the vampire backhand slapped Guthix with his claws right across the face. In which this sent Guthix and the sword flying, and crashing into the side of a thick old tree.

The six vampires seemingly forgot about what they were doing, and went to their comrade who was on the ground bleeding and screaming from the single wound. The vampire that knocked Guthix out of the way said, “What in the hell is happening? A single steel sword could not do this kind of damage to us!” The vampire on his left said, “The effects of that sword are still hurting our kin brother, what kind of power does that sword possess!” The vampire on the right of the first vampire that spoke said, “It looked those swords, that our lord told use that paladins use…”

The vampire on the right of this vampire said, “Master said, those swords were made of white like metal. He also said they use many enchantments to make them do more damage to specific creatures. Wow he sure does look like he’s in a lot of pain.” The vampire that first spoke said, “Of course he is in pain you idiot! Can you not hear him whimpering and screaming like a pathetic wounded pup?” The vampire that the question was towards answer, “I can see that! You don’t need to call me an idiot you buffoon!”

While the vampires were seemingly distracted, and arguing over petty names Guthix had recovered a lot quicker than any of the vampires thought he would. His head had to weave the flesh and bone back together from such a powerful smack. Even though he had healed the blood was still there, and other injuries from hitting the tree were still in effect.

Guthix quietly as possible walked over and grabbed the paladin without the vampires noticing, Guthix instantly regretted grabbed the armor around the paladin, as it started to burn him just as he touched it. He made no sound of pain he lifted the girl up onto his shoulders, and carried her to the nearest and thickest bush and dropped down in it. He was trying to hide in the bushes, and hoped these vampires were as bright as they currently appeared to be.

The vampires were completely unaware that he had moved, or was still alive after being smacked like he was. One of the vampires looked over towards the area with a dumbfounded look on his face as the other vampires argued as more name calling is taking place.

The vampire in the middle that had smacked Guthix said to the one looking over the area saying, “Can I help you with something? Quit spacing out, if something is on your mind then speak it just don’t keep it to yourself moron!” The vampire answered, “Oh I was just thinking, wasn’t there suppose to be a wounded paladin laying there where you smacked that druid?” The vampire turned and said, “Yes there is she is right there!” The vampire pointed at an empty area then its eyes widened it then yelled, “Where is the paladin now?!*

The other vampires stopped arguing to look at the open area most of the vampires were looking dumbfounded. One of them said, “That druid is gone to, he must have carried her away when we were arguing…” The vampire that smacked Guthix said, “Thank you caption obvious! Find that paladin, and kill that druid; he ****** me off.”

The vampires were searching the ground for any signs of foot prints also they were trying to smell the air for scents of their prey. Guthix had lightly moved the paladin off of him, so that the armor was no longer burning him. Also he was holding the sword waiting for a vampire to get close enough to attack.

These six standing vampires might not be the brightest vampires around, but they are still vampires. The vampires still could smell and see extremely well. It did*’t take long until most of the vampires were now staring at the bush where Guthix had hiding.

The vampire that ordered the other six to find Guthix and kill him said, “You think you are smart don’t you druid! Hiding a few yards away in a bush, it would be smart if you were running away from prey! That paladin’s blood is potent in the air, if even is overpowering your own druidic human scent!”

Unfortunately for Guthix the blood of the paladin was having a horrible effect on him. Not only was it just luring the vampires closer to Guthix, but it was awakening Guthix’s werewolf bloodlust. Guthix was scared that he was going to die when he first went into the greenish leafy bushes, but now the bloodlust was replacing his fear with another feeling, that Guthix has never had before.

The vampire continued to speak, “You had a pretty lucky strike on my kin brother, with that enchanted sword you picked up. Your skills with that sword are horrible, you could get maybe one or two lucky more shots, but it won’t matter you will still die! It just you will get to decided on is how you will die! Either you can die hiding like a frightened little rabbit or you can die as they say, going down swinging!” The vampire was trying to mock Guthix into coming out, and fight just so he could kill him with his bare hands.


The vampire closest to the bush said, “Come on out you cowards, I cannot wait to sink my teeth into you after we have killed you!”

Something had snapped in Guthix from the bloodlust building up, to being called a coward. Guthix sprang out of the bushes with inhuman speed, and strength grabbing the vampire by the head, and smashing his head into the nearest tree, which was four feet away and rather small but with a thick trunk.

Guthix then grabbed the sword, and then stabbed it right into the vampire’s chest, the sword when through the chest, and out the back of the vampire then deep into the tree. Guthix then turned his head at back at the rest of the vampires letting out an animalistic snarl.

That’s when those vampires saw Guthix’s eyes; they had changed color as they were no longer blue eyes, as they were now yellow with the center got skinny and small.

The vampires knew this was a sign that Guthix wasn’t normal, that’s if they did*’t notice his speed he displayed beforehand. The signs pointed one way and revealing what Guthix is to the five standing vampires. One of the vampires started stuttering, “Yo…yo…yo….you ar..***…ar...Are a *******...Were…..wolf…you are a werewolf!”

Compared to these lowly vampires they would be considered out ranked by werewolves. It had been a few years; as such the werewolves were considered higher up in line of vampires. Even though they were not vampires they worked for Drakan, they were just a bit under Vyrewatchs in Drakan’s command.

The vampire that smack him said, “We…we are sorry, we did*’t know…we did*’t know you were a werewolf…but that paladin is our kill! We caught her, and she is ours to give to Drakan after we play with here for a bit! Drakan might consider your kind superior than us lowly vampires but we are just as important as you are!”

This confused Guthix slightly, and caused his bloodlust rage to go away. This gave Guthix an idea which he played on his idea, “Back off! She is mine! You attacked your superior, you are lucky that I don’t kill you now. So get lost I might forget that you enraged me!”Guthix added a growl to the end of that.

All five of the standing vampires were ready to flee very fast, and try to forget they crossed a werewolf when the vampire that smacked him said, ”I want to know why are smelling like druids? Why were you with a druid boy?”

With those questions Guthix was worried what might happen if they realize he doesn’t follow this Drakan guy, so he came up with a clever lie as he said, *I don’t have to answer to likes of lowlifes such as yourselves, do you want me to lose my temper and rip your heads off now get out of here before I kill you!”

That was enough to get the other vampires running; even the one he slashed across the chest had got up to run. The vampire that had spoke to Guthix looked at his companions run away, he scoffed then said, “Come on dummy I guess we are leaving. We won’t forget about this werewolf!” This vampire turned into a purple mist and flew away, and the vampire that Guthix stab turn into mist also, and got off the blade and figuratively ran for the hills.

Guthix sighed with relief as he worried he was going to have to try and kill them all, even though he did know how to do that. The vampire that he stabbed into the tree had got away as if it was only a minor flesh wound, even after being impaled into a tree.

It took Guthix a moment to remember that the paladin was in the bushes we he left her. Guthix ran into the bushes, he couldn’t tell whether or not she was breathing or not. Guthix got down listening to whether or not she was breathing. Momentarily Guthix forgot he was a werewolf, and that her armor was made of silver when his hand on her shoulder. He instantly remembered that he was a werewolf as his hand got a burn.

Guthix heard slight shallow breaths coming from the mysterious lady paladin. He sighed in more relief since she was alive. Guthix started wondering why he was so concern for s stranger who he has never met before. He did*’t even know why he risked his life for this girl either, it was just something he felt like he had to do and he couldn’t explain why.

Guthix stopped wondering it realizing he was alone with this person who he was going to have to carry. Guthix looked around to make sure the vampires were long gone, so he turned and picked up the paladin up onto his shoulders. He felt to things that moment he felt the metal burning his flesh, and the girl’s blood dripping onto freshly burnt wounds.

Guthix stood up and carried her over to the sword, and he managed after three tries to pull the sword out of the tree. Guthix then started to walk towards the direction of his camp. Guthix was feeling fatigue, both from the fight with the vampires and the wounds he was constantly getting just by carrying the paladin. Even though he was healing constantly, duel to his werewolf abilities he was getting worn down.

After walking a bit he came to the camp’s torch he sighed and yelled into towards the camp, “I’m back guys, and I need help! I…” That’s when the fatigue over took Guthix and he fell over forward the girl got off his back and forward. Guthix lost consciousness seconds he hit the ground...

Chapter Two- Edicts and answers

Waking up after a little bit more than twenty hours of being unconscious Guthix had awakened from passing out from fatigue. Guthix wasn’t in the grass or lying on the ground but he was in a bed, and inside a white cloth tent.

Guthix was covered up in a blanket which he pulled off, and sat up. He looked down, and noticed he was in a change of clothing. A person entered the tent it was a lady in druid robes with long black hair. Guthix had recognized her instantly when he had seen her walk through the tent flap. Guthix smiled and said, “Oh, hi mom how did I get here?”

Beth first walked over to a small square table that had a kettle filled with a hot drink she said as she poured it into a small cup, “You were found by the edge of the south side of camp where you had yelled help. So tell me what happened out there in the woods Guthix.” Guthix sighed and said, “I was hunting down south in the woods for something more than our wilted vegetables. It was when we were coming back from a failed hunt when I heard a girl groan in pain…Chad did*’t hear anything, and then it wasn’t long until I saw the girl in armor laying on the ground. I ran over to help even though at the time I did*’t know who she was. On our way back we got attacked by some vampires, Chad ran off towards the village and I was left to fight those vampires. I used that girl’s sword to defend myself I had to hide but it wasn’t until something weird happened to me that I was able to scare the vampires away.”

Beth then said, “I will take a guess and say you were sent into a bloodlust rage. This was the first time you were around fresh spilt human blood. I am surprised you did*’t try to take a bite out of that girl when you saw her.”

Guthix then said, “I never said she was bleeding mom, how…” Beth then said, “I saw her when you brought her in, you are lucky nobody here in the village had watched your burnt skin weave itself back together from that sliver plated armor. I saw the slash that was across her stomach, she had to have gotten that from a vampire or on a tree limb. The point is I saw her wounds, and even I had trouble fighting back my bloodlust being around her. Did the vampires say why they were trying to kill the poor girl or did it appear just to be a random snack?”

Guthix then said, “I am not sure why they were after her, I really never asked but I did hear them talk about handing this girl over to a person named Drakan…and that she is a paladin also they feared me when they saw I was a werewolf…” He trailed that part off, since it was not a good idea to talk about being a werewolf in the druid camp.

His mother Beth commented, “So it is as I thought from her armor and it is a lot worse than I thought as well. Low ranking vampires generally stay away from werewolves since most of them are Drakan’s solders. Drakan is the leader and person who is the reason why the forests and woods are being hunted clean. As for this girl, if you say that those vampires called her a paladin then there will be more problems are to come.”

Guthix heard his mother say that calmly then he asked worried like, “What do you mean this may be a problem. What is so important about a paladin, and how will that bring more trouble mom?”
