Chapter 20 - chapter 20

Today the school was attacked. Everything was normal until 4th period when all of the sudden we heard an explosion at the west side of the school. We heard screams and more explosions. The teacher was helping other students escape. I ran out into the halls. There were hooded people dressed in black robes with red demon masks. Some rode horses. One riding a horse charged at me with a silver sword. He sliced at me, I was able to dodge away with only a nick. I chased after them and stabbed through them with Excalibur. I charge at other cultists and kill them. The blood from the cultists infuse with my sword. As I kill another cultist a dark crimson portal opens close to me. Before I can even react a giant towering demon falls from the portal. When it collides with the ground the earth seems to shake. I charge at the being, stabbing at it. The stabs seem to do nothing to the being except annoy it as it swats me away like a fly. I transform. The pillar of light surrounds me. As wings sprout out of my back. Excalibur is surrounded by a holy light. My clothes replaced by a white robe. A halo floats above my head. I stab the demon again this time causing it visible anguish. It grabs me and brings me to its mouth. I slice off its fingers and fly to the top of its head. I stab the top of its head and scream "SWORD BURST!" As a giant explosion comes from the tip of its head as it covers me in blood. The demon falls to the ground. As I dislodge my sword and fly off of it. I fly down to the other cultists slaying more of them. Then another demon approaches me. It holds a crimson sword that has a dark red aroma around it. The sword a has a black flame on it. I fly toward the being. It stabs me. Costing me my right arm. I fall to the ground in pain. I scream out in horror. I get back up and swing at the monster. It dodges easily and grabs me. It grabs my left eye. I feel a sharp pain where it should be and a cold liquid fall across my face. The demon cackles "THIS IS WHAT FATALLY WOUNDED THE BLUE DRAGON? WHAT A JOKE!" Its laugh booms around me. I pull enough strength together to slice at its neck. It dodges slightly shocked "Good last ditch effort but too little too late!" I grab its arm and cast shocking grasp. The monster falls to the ground knocked out. As I slip from its grip I try to heal myself. As I do so I see my eye on the ground, it's smashed and there is blood surround it. I cast CURE WOUNDS. It fails. I cast CURE WOUNDS again. It fails again. I cast CURE WOUNDS with the last of my strength. It fails for one final time. I feel my body go cold and limp. As I draw my final breath I think back on the good times with my friends and all that I lived for. I think back on my life on earth and my family. I close my remaining eye and pass away.
