Damn, I thought as I gained conciouseness, God must be cruel to let me wake up for this I still feel the sensation of drowning in my own blood why couldn't I just let myself sleep until I died. I wanted it to end.

It's strange it feels different than before I tried to breathe again but the sensation of water coming in surprised me and then I realised, I was under water and I could move!

The question how I was still alive wasn't a priority. I should just make sure I don't die a second.

I couldn't tell which was up or down so I didn't know where to swim to. I looked at my soroundings and I saw a light. It was barely visible i swam towards it, better than nothing I thought. I swam as fast as I could the light getting bigger and bigger.

I was running out of breath the feeling of wanting to breath was unbearable. I couldn't help but inhale, water went inside me directly to my lungs I couldn't reach the lighy, I was drowning again. Losing consiousness..

My body went limp ready to die but I felt a sensation on my knee. A FLOOR!

I gathered all my strenght to push myself up as one final defiance.

As I violently emerge out the water I vomited all the water as if the depth of the water was a lie I stood up and took in all the sweet air I could get. Breathing hurt but the satisfaction of air going in my lungs put a huge smile in my face.

As my coughing finally stopped I finally noticed where I was, it was a beautiful room filed with decorations and painting on the walls and in the middle was the pool and me in it.

I would have wanted to take in more of the scenery if it wasn't for the people staring at me with serious looks, carying swords? and spears?, they wore armor? they weren't in the pool yet but they were doing a formation, surrounding all sides of the pool. They were very cautios slowly doing their formation. My body became tense, I tried to check for an exit to make a plan for an escape but I didn't find any I needed to stand my ground. There must be a dozen people here. Shit I guess I'm gonna die a third time.

I observed them as they moved, It was a poor battle formation as the weapons they carried didn't really match. They should have brought all the same weapons so that they would have all the same attack formation and not hinder the rest. But it woulnt really matter if they charge good formation or not I'm still dead.

they were standing still their weapons drawn ready to attack at any given moment. But they didnt they just stood there.

I heard a voice speak loudly behind the men, one of the men moved and let a person pass him and then went in the pool, this person was young probably in his early 20s wore clothes as if he was a priest or saint there were so many decorations in his clothes that comfortable was the last thing you'd think when describing it

The priest came closer and closer to me. He spoke while doing so I couldn't understand what he was saying but if I had to guess it was something about reasurance due to his tone and body language.

I didn't trust the priest. This must be an illusion by the fairylord. Hell the priest might be the fairy lord himself.

I faked my relief, showing that I was calm and understanding of the priests words and when the priest saw this he hastened his movement no longer hesitating to come closer to me.

The moment he was at arms reach, I suddenly grabbed the priest turned him around and locked his neck. Ready to break it.

The people surrounding me started to shout in panic probably spouting curses.

I looked at the leader of the group I new he was the leader as he wore better looking armor than the rest. I tried to signal the leader only using nods, gestures and some of my own words if that helped to convey my message that I want out of here.

I could see in the leaders face that he understood what I meant but seems to fain ignorance. The leader only complied when I tightened the pressure on the priests neck.

The leader shouted orders at his men. They left me a path to move onto. I didn't really have a plan after this. Who knows if the path their leading me to would have a trap or a dead end.

It didn't matter at least I made it hard on them. I didn't notice until I exited the pool that I was completely naked. Well it wasn't the first time I faught naked. I couldn't help but make light of the situation I'm in, it was how I was trained always be calm especially when your knee deep in shit and if you can't then fake it.

I made sure that I didn't turn my back on the soldiers as I moved to the path they left me. They were speaking to me probably trying to calm me down but it was pointless I knew they were tricking me. Dead was the only thing I am in their eyes.

I was now in a hallway a wide one each side had a door on it all the decorations seems to be only available in the room I came from as the hallways was only pure white, no appeal to the eyes. The men followed us always keeping a certain distance, I made sure if that every time they come suspiciously close I tigtened my arms around his neck making the priest show pain on his face.

I was deciding which door to run too, I couldn't play the hostage taker forever, sooner or later the priest will struggle they always do, and it won't end well for me and the hostage. I decided to run to the one at the end. I could sprint to it and barricade it until I find an escape.

It was a solid plan short term plan but it was still a plan.

I said "sorry" as I broke the priests arm and kicked him in the back so he would caught by the men. They caught the priest

I could hear his scream as I dashed. Towards the door. I was suddenly surprised as i looked to my right as a figure passed me.

To my surprise the leader was already in front of the door his spear pointed at me.

I didn't stop running I still charged forward no weapon in hand. When I was already within the spears reach he thrust it forward it was fast scary fast especially with me running towards it as well but it had no skill the aim was obvious he was aiming for my leg. He should have done a sweep but he did a thrust, an amatuer.

I easily dodged the leaders attack and used my momentum to drive my shoulder to his chest.. The force sent him flying to the door and even breaking it.

It shocked me to see the leader still stand abit dazed but still that attack should have left him gasping for air on the floor. It must have been the armor.

I didn't think of it anymore as I hit him in the chin with my elbow thankfully he wasn't wearing a helmet.. I heard the many footstep starting to come to me. I picked up the spear in a hurry ready to go enetr the room but suddenly the leader grabbed my arm and threw me to the wall.

I was down and hurt but I stood up immidiately. My heart started to race. My chances of escaping now was from slim to nothing the men now surrounded me again ready to attack me, but the leader pushed them away making him pass through.

He started speaking the unknown words again he took one of his men's sword and pointed at himself then me.

I knew what he meant he wanted a one on one. Just fucking perfect.
