Fate of a Swordsman

Fight or Flight

 

Another training day had passed, it had now been 70 days since Scotts confrentation with the Xal Nog at there own fort, his mind filled with hatred for the Xal Nog as every day passed, he tired to hide it but every time Maluk was thought of Scott would clench his blade tight as if he were ready to kill someone.

That night Scott had the dream again, there he was again fighting the orc, his focus shifted and there was Wartooths head. Scott grew red with anger, climbed down the ladder, ran towards the Xal Nog yelling DIE YOU FOUL SCUM!

Scott woke up, and there in his hand was a katana and the blade was focused at Bwoires head, he had just gotten up to get a mug full of water.

Oh said Scott, sorry.

I will forgive you once you put your sword down said Bwoire.

Scott put the sword down, he had waken up the whole house but no one had gotten out of bed those on the first floor watched from there beds.

I am sorry said Scott, I had that dream again except it was longer.

It appears so, I must warn you to control your rage, to control your hate for the Xal Nog said Bwoire, your hatred will be your death.

How so? asked Scott

Tunnel vision my friend, you will be so filled with hatred you will be blinded about what is going on around you, control your anger and you will become even more powerful..

I will thin about it said Scott, im going back to bed.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the villa door, Scott went to it in a grumpy rage.

He opened up the door and there stood Calos.

What do you want? asked Scott, has Lord British ordered my execution?

Get Seth said Calos.

Why? he's sleeping said Scott Can this business not wait till the morning we are trying to get some sleep and we do not need the likes of his worship disturbing it.

Get him please it is urgent said Calos.

Here we go again said Scott, he walked upstairs and get Seth a nudge on the back.

What do you want said Seth, I am trying to sleep.

Calos is at the door he says its urgent, if it isnt may I split his head in two? asked Scott

Yes you may said Seth as they started to walk down the stairs, Seth walked up to the door and there stood Calos as promised.

What is your business at such a later hour? asked Seth.

There has been increased Orc activity around Yew and Vesper, Lord British is going to need all the men he can get to whipe out this threat said Calos.

My men are not ready yet, they are still weak from the last assult said Seth, find yourself some new horses to lead your buggy.

Well then said Calos, I am afraid I will half to do this, he pulled out a piece of paper, by Order of Lord British those who reject his order to report to war shall be executed.

Scott picked up his sword and pushed calos off the patio, he held his sword back, over my dead body.

Ah yes the once nobel Scott said Calos, a little angry are we?

Your lucky I did not split your head at the door said Scott.

Your lucky Lord British did not order your execution after your murder attempt. But he will order one for the rest of the guild if you kill me and do not go to the battle, now I am telling you, are you going to Fight? or take the Flight to the afterlife?

You win said Scott, but if anyone of my men dies, its your head I am decorating the villa with. Scott walked inside.

Seth yelled out, wake up everybody, rise and shine it is not even morning.

Scott picked up his Katana's, they were both stained with blood. Time for payback his said to him self, time for payback,

Alright everyone, were off to Yew, there is rumors of Orc activity, so wake up and suit up, were going in.
