The Scars of Betrayal
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 39879
|
Before the bear could react, Fred clenched his teeth and thrust his sword
into the bear's furry back. The bones stopped his sword half way through.
Bruno let out a roar of anguish and attempted to claw Fred, but his pain
paralyzed him in his spot. Fred pulled the sword out from the bears back.
Thick, crimson blood and bits of pale flesh oozed from the wound. Fred
wrapped his hands around the hilt of his sword and proceeded with his
second blow. This time it would be fatal. Bruno could do nothing but lye
there and watch as his friend, companion, and hope slaughter him like the
animal he was. He eagerly awaited the knight's next blow, hoping it would
bring mercy to him.
The loud crack of the Knight's blade striking the bear's skull echoed
throughout the darkest corners of the cave. The bears head rolled then
rolled across the dusty ground, and then, dead silence.
Fred stood there, still in his striking pose. For second he spent staring at the beheaded bear, his body became heavier and heavier. He felt the weight inside his chest. It ravaged inside his stomach, tearing up his insides. All his surroundings slowly faded to black and white. Fred's hand released the sword. It clanged against the hard floor and went silent almost immediately. He backed up and kept backing up until he came in contact with the rigid wall and the edge of the room. Even as his distance, the stench of death, murder, and betrey lingered fresh in the air.
