Short(ish) Story

[Revial]

I'm bored...so I wanted to share a story! YAY! This is a story about one my "Evil" characters in Oblivion who loses a loved one while gains knowledge of his own inner abilities. This is a work of fiction, any people alive or dead described/named/maimed/murdered/etc is purely coincidental. Do note, I use the name Revial for several games, forums, etc.

 

That outta the way...

 

"Fire!" The nearby guards of the Imperial City let loose a hail of arrows, the twang of bowstrings filling the still night. Fia, a petite Mystic Elf with long flowing white hair, raised her Steel Shield, hoping to stop the arrows. The arrows clattered and fell to the floor. When she opened her eyes she expected to see at least a few sticking out of her shield but she found none. She stood straight up, the light chainmail she wore clinking against the shield. She stared past her shield, a the slender frame of her partner. He wore the same black robe and boots he always had. The guards stared in shock and awe as the man glanced over his shoulder to his partner. His voice was distorted, the normally cold whisper was now filled with rage, "Did any of them hit?" She stared, pale gray eyes taking in the amount of arrows he had deflected to the side. "Answer me..." He said, raising his voice slightly. She jerked her head up. "N-no. Nothing hit me." He sighed and reached into his robe. "Stop!" Her partners hand stopped, midway in his robe. The voice of Adimus Phillida spoke up, "Well, well, well...look who we have here!" He stepped from behind the guards. "The criminal and his little witch." The man in the robe twitched, his hand sliding further into his robe. The guards raised their bows, aiming them at him. "I wouldn't do anything to rash if I were you." Once again, his hand stopped. "Ah, so you do understand me. Good! I was beginning to think you were simple." Fia scowled, her fingers beginning to glow faintly. "Don't." The man in the robe spoke up.

 

Adimus smirked, "There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Come along quietly and we'll spare-" The man went suddenly silent. The robed man pulled a faint white mask from his robe. He spoke up, "Do you...even know the name of the people you pursue?" Adimus and his guards looked at each other. It was a random guard who spoke up, "We know the womans name is Fia." Adimus shook his head. The robed man laughed. "You know hers but not mine...Imperial Cities finest alright." Adimus flinched. "Kill them both." The guards drew back their strings. "My name..." He paused and placed the mask on top of his head. "...Is Revial." He pulled the mask down and in a split second the guards bows shattered. They screamed as wood was driven into their hands and face. Adimus spun around, just in time to interpose his sword with Revials. The thick black Katana met the steel sword in a hail of black sparks. Adimus stared in shock, streams of blood running down his face. "Captain!" The guards spun at the sound of the blades connecting. Revial laughed and pushed his sword hard against Adimus'. Fia stared. She was completely forgotten in that split second. Or so she thought. A sudden pain ripped through her chest. Then another, and another. She snapped out of her mild trance and stared down at her chainmail. The rings had been penetrated and broken by three swords. Blood dribbled from her wounds. She slowly raised her head, despite the blades, there were no people. Nothing. She slumped to the floor, life fading from her eyes.

 

Adimus stagged back, his chestplate bent inward. Revial spun, his katana intercepting several blades. He laughed maniacally. "Come on! This all you-" His eyes widened, all strength he had draining from him. He spotted her. Blood pooling around her torso, the gray eyes he had fallen in love with now lifeless. He felt something go through his back, the sound of bone breaking filling his ears. The guards had taken the opportunity to lunge several of their blades deep into his body, blood and fragments of bone being pushed out as the blades cut their way through. His knees went out, he fell. He turned his head slowly. Adimus had taken another guards sword and raised it high. "So long...criminal scum." Adimus brought the sword down. A look of shock ran across the mans face. "Where...would I be going?" Revial slowly lifted himself off his knees. The guards let go of their blades and scrambled back. "H-how...?" Adimus stared, his hands trembled as his grip on the sword weakened. "What...are you...?" Revial frowned, an expression he was very accustomed to. "I hate when people ask me that." A nearby guard had removed an arrow from his quiver, he crept slowly towards the two. He raised the arrow above his head.

 

Blood splattered the other Guards. Revials black Katana glistened with moisture. The guards torso fell to the ground while his legs stood there. Revial winced. "Adimus...we'll continue this some other time..." Adimus blinked in surprise. Revial turned forward, taking a few steps forward before stopping. He knelt beside Fia and scooped her up. A blood covered guard stared. "How...can a murderer fall in love?" Revial turned his head. "I didn't fall in love." The guard was about to speak when his head began to bleed. A small line formed in the guards armor before it split and fell. It was followed by the rest of him. Revial, with the girl in his arms, slowly trudged out of the city. He stopped at the bridge and set her down. "I'm sorry...Fia." He pulled the swords out of himself and her one by one. Then, he removed his mask, blood flowing from his body. He set Fia on the edge of the bridge. "Sleep well. Alright?" He gently nudge her off the edge and into the water. He slumped against the bricks, his world turning black. The last thing he heard..."You're under arrest."
