Keen Eye.
The clouds overhead began to get darker, signifying a storm is on its way to them. “Aim, Geddon, the mission continues let’s go forward to Foresun.” He announced.
“The storm would mask our scents and footprints Captain it’ll be hard for anyone to track.” Aim said walking to stand beside lee.
“Hey Lee can I talk to you for a second?” Geddon asked.
“Aim don’t walk off too far but see what’s ahead of us.” Lee commanded nodding to talk with Geddon.
Aim nodded and left the two alone. Lee could tell something was off with Geddon, his sudden mood switch was all too familiar. “Geddon what’s wrong?” He asked.
“I felt as though I died and went…somewhere else when we were fighting Braun.” Geddon replied looking at the ground as it was starting to drizzle.
Lee paused for some moments before answering. “Geddon, I’ll explain later but it’s going to get a lot tougher for y-“ Before Lee could finish Aim yelled at them to hurry over.
Geddon was the first one running, readying himself by unsheathing his Sword. “I do feel something…” Lee thought to himself following Geddon. He got back on the trail and seen Aim hunching over someone, trying to give them aid.
It was a middle aged man with tattered clothing. Lee had seen the glimmer of a weapon in his head.

“AIM GET BACK!” As soon as Lee screamed, the person on the ground lunged at Aim and toppled him on the ground next to a puddle.
“ATTACK!” The man yelled. Geddon ran over and shoved his Sword into the person’s chest. “GET OFF OF HIM!” He used his body weight to throw the man and himself on the ground, getting him off Aim.
Geddon retreated his sword and the man coughed his blood on Geddon’s face. Geddon shoved his head into the puddle of rain beside Aim.
“Thanks Geddon!” Aim said holding his own chest.
They both got up and seen Lee fighting three other attackers. Geddon was about to rush in and assist him when three more attackers came running at him and Aim.
“YOU CURSED DEVILS!” One of the said. Aim kicked one of them back but lost balance and fell back to the ground. Another one cut Aim’s hand, although it only made a tiny cut. He took a stick he had sharpened from earlier and lunged it into the attackers neck.
He pushed him off and the one he kicked earlier got on top of him to keep him on the ground. The attacker with the stick in his neck walked around until his body fell and he shook vigorously.
Geddon met with the third and jumped into the air, he did a front flip and cut through the attacker’s Sword who was trying to defend. The heat from the SunSpore sliced through the top of his head and Geddon right foot to kick his body away. He rushed over to Aim and pierced the one struggling with him in his heart.
The attacker coughed up blood on Aim’s shirt. He fell on Aim and went completely limp.
“Your sword skills.” Aim said to Geddon in a bit of awe.
“Think nothing of it, partner.” He helped Aim get up.
All three of their attackers were now dead.
They looked at Lee to see him walking over to them, already finished with his fight.
“Those were standard bandits who probably just wanted to steal what we have, let’s keep moving.” He said with a exhale. “Foresun isn’t that far away and we’re running late as it is”.
*In a room on the border of the “Holy lands” and “Devil’s First Touch.”*
“It looks like the mediocre band of assassins he hired have been eliminated.” One man said with an eyepatch to one other man and two women.
“Seeing what these mortals are capable of is outstanding.” A blonde woman replied looking at a crystal ball that was focused right on Geddon.
