Nephi · Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2004 12:07 pm Post subject: A fire burning inside

"Let it burst Nephi, I know its in you. Come on, it will be fun.....
DO IT!!!!"

Nephi jumped out of his bed, panting as though he was fighting daemons. He waited several minutes before calming down. He knelt down beside his bed and calmy said a prayer. After he noticed he had been asleep way longer than he usually slept, he glance over at his clock. To his amazement he had been alseep for almost 2 days. He could not understand how he managed that. Shrugging it off he went upatairs to get something to eat.

Solemnly eating what he could manage, Nephi smiled from the sight of an Ettin trying to beat a waterelemental with his club. Watching the club continuously pass straight through the monster like nothing gave Nephi a short uncontrolable burst of laughter. He stopped and wondered to himself how long it has been since he laughed.

Cleaning up his meal, Nephi paid no attention to the clatter of a horse rushing towards him in the distance. "Uncle, let me in!!" Yelled a familiar voice. He opened the door to find his nephew, Teancum, rushing in horse and all. Nephi now noticed that the two entertaining beasts changed their attention towards his nephew. Nephi helped him dismount, asking him how he got here. "I rode all the way from the Hostel" panted Teancum.

Astonished, Nephi helped Teancum to scraps of his meal. "Why did you travel this far? Was it to tell me something" asked Nephi. Now remembering why he had come here, Teancum changed his smile to a frown. "Its David." "What happened?" Hesitating to answer his uncle, Teancum replied slowly, "Va Valkor k ki killed him."

Nodding in disbelief, Nephi backed away from the table slowly. "Uncle, please we have to go back to the hostel and talk to Valkor." Just nodding, Nephi fell down the stairs and slid right under his bed. "Thats it just let the anger go. Dont resist it will only make it worse." Nephi got up from under is bed and started to strap on armor.

"You are going back to the hostel, I have some business to take care of."
"Uncle, please liste-""NO!! DO AS I SAY!" Teancum gave a nod. Getting up on his horse, Nephi handed him a rune to Sanctus. Both of them not talking at all, Teancum chanted sacred journey sighfully. Watching his nephew dissipate, Nephi also got up on LightHoof and chanted sacred journey...

Gripping his brightly colored green katana, Nephi galloped over to an orc fort in front of the keep. Slaying all the orcs with a stoic look on his face, he climbed up into the tower overlooking the keep and hid his self in orc clothing. Breathing very heavily through his nose, Nephi just waited...

Valkor seemed at peace at his home, sitting by himself on a floor mat with his shirt off and his hair tied back. His eyes were closed, and his cutlass was in his lap.

Valkor's disciplined mind could sense the hate, the anger, the pain. Sweat dripped down his brow. He stirred. In one angry, violent burst he got up, threw his cutlass into the stone wall, and bursted his fist against his mirror, shattering its shard into a million pieces and creating cuts all over his fist. He cursed. He spat.

After a while he calmed down and began to wrap his fist in a bandage. A servant walked in nervously and announced that it was time to prepare for the battle at Minoc. He nodded and dismissed him. The hate of Nephi and the rest would have to be stifled until he was done with his business.
Valkor closed his eyes once more and thught of Spawn, who he had almost worshipped while he was in Sanctus for his bravery and sense of justice.

He reached into his back pocket and rubbed the dagger of a friend that brought him great comfort. A bright smile filled his face as he prepared.
