Chapter 17 - Chapter 17:The fall of soniah.

"My name is Arnold,and as u may have guessed I am not ur typical normal person and im not saying that cause I have powers no,im not of this time,I hail from a period where we had magic,kings and knights.I would like to share my story with u of how I got here."

(We move to about 500k years into the past,where calendars werent written yet to find a small village out in the boonies by the name Soniah,this was a village of great warriors blessed with great strengths.They chose to live in seclusion outside of all the other worldly triffles,for they wanted to live in peace among themselves.They were a type of human wrace who possessed angel blood,and from their blood they had abilities such as healing,purification and enhanced human physical attributes,and even some had the power to control the elements.They used their power to heal their wounded and purify the river water for cooking,drinking and other day to day basis.We meet a younger version of Arnold,but at this time he was known as Anorah,8 years old.He was playing with his friends,when the skies slowly took on a crimson shade,the villagers knew this moment,for those who had seen it,was their annihilation.The children swiftly went to their parents to take shelter.As we see the Sonians,get ready for whats to come,as they get their children to safety and taking up arms.We see red rifts opening all over the village,in the skies,on the building walls,even on the ground and from them creatures that can only be depictated as demons arose.The villagers,although caught by surprise,swiftly rose to the occasion an threw a counter attack at the demons,dwindling down their numbers.Arnold ran to his parents hut when he finally arrived he met his mother talking to one of the demons.)

Demon:(Looking at the child that had just entered but just ignored and turned back to the woman,her name was Elysia.)Since ur the leader of this village,you will tell me who is the chosen of ur ppl.

Anorah:Mom...Im..sca..red.(He says with tears in his eyes.)

Elysia:Dont worry sweety.(Looking at the demon as she moves to her son.)Dont cry okay,everything will be just fine.(As Anorah looks at the demon infront of him,while in the hands of his mother,hiding his face in her chest.)Now I want u to do smth for me,okay sweety.(As he looks at his mother,who looked at him with a kind,loving and reassuring smile.Anorah nods,as the tears from his eyes,stop,for her mother smile made him forget all that is happening,it made him feel safe in his mothers arms.)

Anorah:Yes mommy.(He says,with a bit of joy in his voice.)

Elysia:(Looking at the demon who was growing tired of this.But elysia gives him a cold glare,as the demon ceases from doing whatever it was about to.As she turns her attention back to her son.)Now u know ur my ray of sunshine in the dark,right my lil one.(As Anorah,nods in yes.)Now then whatever happens here,i want u to know that everything is fine,and most of all ull be fine...(As she continues to give Anorah a reassuring smile.)

Anorah:(Starting to realise smths off.Then says in a solemn tone.)Mommy whats wrong.

Elysia:Nothings wrong my dear,now I want u to close ur eyes and cover ur ears ok,do it for mommy.(As he does so,although a bit reluctant,as he did,she then proceeds to hum a tune,which was Anorahs lullaby,but this time she imbued a power in it,that made Anorah sleep.She then lays him on a bed,gently and softly.As she turns back to the demon.With a low and quite tone.)I have to hand to u demon,u were wise not to say or do anything while I was with my son.Now u said ur name was Baruk,if im not mistaken.(As we move to the outside to find the,children of the village been taken inside of a large hut,this was the Sonians dining hut,we see on the outside of the hut,several adult Sonians,using a protection power on it,as it shimmers in golden light.)

Sonian 1:That should be all of the children.

Sonian 2:Wait I didnt see the chiefs son in there???(Just then demons started to arrive.)

Sonian 3:Ill go,search for him,u 2 protect that hut with ur lives.(As he sets out forming a golden whip slashing at the demons as he set out to look for Anorah.As the other 2 remain to protect the rest of the children.)

(We move to a different part of the village to see a man,bald but middle aged.This was Anorahs father and the chief of Soniah,Orion,he was leading a small battalion of sonians,against demons,and so far they were doing great.)

Orion:Well done men,we will have them out of our village before sundown,do not yield,for we are Soniah,we do not give,no matter the conditions,we rise above it and we shall vanquish the enemy before us,have at thee men,ARE U WITH ME!!!!(As the men he was leading,let out battle cries moving in to deal with the demons.Just then a general came.)

General:Chief!Chief!(As Orion spots him.)Oh if it isnt general Freyman,what bring u here?Came to help?

Freyman:(Out of breath.)Ur...house...its..

Orion:Slow down,here have some water.(As he conjours up a gourd of water.Freyman drinks it as if it was his last.)Now what were u sayi…

Freyman:Its ur wife my chief.(Upon hearing those words,he wasted no time and moved to his hut.)

Sonian x:(A young female.)Wheres the chief going.

Sonian y:Oh,didnt see u there,Loki,its Freyman,he told the chief,something about his wife and he just shot out.

Loki:Oh.(This was Loki,Orions apprentice,and his right hand man or in this case girl.She looks at Freyman who seems suspicious.)"What are u upto?"

(We then move back to Elysias hut.)

Elysia:So if I give u the chosen,ull take ur demon army and leave this village.

Baruk:Im afraid that wont be possible as our orders were to kill everyone of u.

Elysia:Figured as much.(As she unleashes a spell she had been secretly preparing,from the moment Anorah came in and it was now complete,as a barrier forms around the demon trapping it.She then proceeds to summon a dove made of light to take her child away.As she eyes it leaving,when suddenly the demon broke the barrier.)

Baruk:U dare mock me,u wretched woman.(Now pissed as he summons a huge red claymore.)

Elysia:Dont get ur panties in a twist,u said ur looking for the chosen,well ur looking right at her.(As the demon growls and charges at her,as she forms a golden rapier.We move to where the bird was taking Anorah,to see below it,the number of demons was growing to be overwhelming,but Orion,was coming through and dealt with the demons swiftly,saving his men from getting overrun,as he checks on them to see if their okay,while still going for his original goal to reach his wife.When the golden dove caught his eyes.)

Orion:Thats my s...(As the dove comes to him,giving him Anorah,as we see the sonian from earlier who had come looking for the child see hes safe,but letted his guard down as a demon comes from behind killing him.Orion saw this,as he begins to rage,With Anorah in one hand,and a white glowing saber at his other,as he moves to cut down the demon which killed his comrade,andother who dared come close to him,while the others helped from the sidelines.

(When they had finished,Orion moved to the side of the man who had been killed,he was still breathingbut barely,Orion came swiftly to try and heal him,but it was too late,he had been pierced through the heart,and had lost a lot off blood,although the wound had been healed,it was already too late.)

Orion:(Panicked.)Come on now man.Dont give up on me now,u can still make it,U WILL MAKE IT,just stay with me.(The man was one of the teachers who taught the kids,name waas Geroud,and he was pretty close with Anorah.)

Geroud:(Weakly holding out his hand to touch the sleeping Anorah.)Oh...goo..d(As he coughs out blood.)He..is...okay.

Orion:Come on Geroud,dont die on me,u still have lots to teach this kid.(But he had died as he saw Anorah okay and died with a smile.Orion on seeing one of his friends dead was brought to tears.As he closes Gerouds eyes.)Rest well my friend.(He says sadly.He had men take his body to the healer stands,where many women of soniah were healers and the injred of this war were held.)

(Moments later,as Orion was continuing on his journey,for he knew something was wrong for his son to be here,and that was Elysias magic,when suddenly...

Anorah:Dont come any closer,my love…

Orion:(Confused.)Son...(For the voice was coming from Anorah but he was still sleeping.It was Elysia speaking through Anorah.)

Elysias voice:My love,good u got him..

Orion:Honey where are u?

Elysias voice:Not important,i dont have much time..ugh..(As we move to her location to see her holding her own against the demon,managed to block its attacks while dishing out her own.As she proceeds to speak telepathically through Arnold.)I want u to perform starfell on Anorah.)

Orion:(Shocked from hearing this for he knew what this spell was.)Ur crazy,My love,just tell me where u are and ill come to help.(As he cuts down a demon which was flying at him.)

Elysia:So that to bring our son in danger,we have to accept and face it my dear,were losing this battle, they caught us off guard and I can feel every single death happening out there,even Gerouds.(As tears drop down.)I can feel their rifts expanding and more demons coming from them,were outnumbered,as we speak more of our ppl keep dying,i feel so powerless in not having the power to protect our ppl,its only a matter of time till they reach the children.(As the mood shifts to a somber one.)Say my love,is it selfish,that I want to get our son out of here…

Orion:(Feeling the depth of her words,as tears fell from his eyes.)No its not,its just amother protecting her child.

Elysia:(As we see her slowing down in his fight with Baruk.As she is disarmed.)I will perform a spell on Anorah that will take the chosens power from me to him,I want u to use starfell to teleport him to the ppl of the kingdom of Reinhard,the king there owes me.

Orion:(Knowing full well that the spell she speaks off will leave her vulnerable and means her death,he agreed with tears in his eyes.As he forms a circle that will hold of the demons for a while till he finishes casting his spell.As we move to see Elysia who was now impaled through by the big claymore,as she spurs out blood on it.)

Baruk:Any last words,so called chosen.

Elysia:(Still being heard by Orion.)Words???(As she continues to spit out blood,but musters a smile.)I am more of a woman of action.(As she hits the demon with a palm to the face filled with holy magic,sending baruk flying out,leaving his sword still inside Elysia.Then she wasted no time,and used her own blood to draw a magic circle,then started chanting although in pain but determined to save her child,as the magic circle stared glowing same goes for her eyes,as spiritual energy flew from her.We move to see Anorahs eyes glowing the same.As Orion also goes for the starfell spell.As we move back to Elysia who had finished on her spell,as her eyes slowly goes back to normal,and she collapses,as we see Anorahs eyes go back to normal then he goes back to sleep,signifying the transfer,Orion levitates him to teleport him with the starfell spell.)

Orion:(With tears in his eyes.)Goodbye my son.(As Anorah shoots out,taking to the skies.)

Elysia:(We find her lain on the floor,weak and in pain for the huge claymore was still in her.As she proceeds to call out to Orion now telepathically.)My love...di..d u.do it?(She says struggling even to speak.Those words on reaching Orion,brought him much sadness.)

Orion:(As he falls to his knees.)Im here,my love.(As demons surrounded him.)

Elysia:Good...I c..an...(As she coughs out blood.)Sp..end my...las..t moments w..ith u.

Orion:(Slowly standing,as the demon come charging at him,as even more rifts open,with even more demons come from them.We see Orion wiping his tears and 2 duel golden daggers form at his hands.)Dont worry my love,ill come spend our last moments together.(As he hack and slashes through the demons with ease,determined to reach his wife.)

(We see the other sonians getting overwhelmed even the ones protecting the hall,were getting flanked and they were worn out from battling more demons before,as they looked at the hall knowing the children were in there,as even more determination grew in them,as they continued to fight for,with all they had left to protect the children,and even others from different parts of the village fought with little strength they had left,but it was a battle of attrition and they were losing.We come to see Orion,covered in blood from the fighting,who had reached at his house,finding Elysia,bleeding at the floor.As Elysia saw him,a smile came to her face,as Orion fell at her side,holding her.)

(We come to see Baruk,pleased,thinking that he had killed the chosen,for he felt her life force diminishing.)

Baruk:My work here is done.(As he speaks in demon language,as we see the demon reacting to it,as they start to blow up,each demon explosion bigger than the last,destroying and killing every last Sonanian in their way.We come to see Loki,who had been impaled and the one responsible was Freyman,who stood,above her with a bloody knife.)

Loki:(Sensing the explosion coming.)Meet u in hell.(As the explosion consumes where they were,as it moves all over Soniah,consuming and killing everything.We see Orion,holding his wife,as she whispers to his ear.)

Elysia:Thank u.(As the explosion,covers them as well.)
