Six Moons
The dark night set in as we approached this town. The cloth of darkness covered the sky, painting everything black, leaving out the six full moons. A thick fog swallowed the sprawling houses that appeared old and ruined. Not a sound was made, not even a sound of a hooting owl.
The eerie silence gave place to fear as we moved silently down the deserted street. The thumping of our hearts grow loud and clear, it was a sign that something dangerous and evil was nearing us. We stopped to listen in this dark cold mist, waiting for the something to appear. A dark figure of a man in a black coat moved in ghostly silence, appeared in the fog. His sinister smile revealed itself as the gentle glow of the six moons crept over him. A part of his face was covered by the shadow casted by his top hat and his eyes glowed brightly like a hungry beast with demonic eyes.
A gust of wind swept across the fog and the moons hid silently behind the mysterious clouds. His laughter soon rang our ears as he approached steadily without a sign of fear. We drew our swords, ready to battle, the evil presence of the unknown man was to be eliminated at all cost. My partner charged forth with a direct strike, as I stood back in defense and watched. He swung his sword in an arch-shaped movement with great accuracy and speed. The man's laughter grew louder and clearer, and then he disappeared in a blink of an eye. His laughter died down, but we could feel the evil presence circling around us.
The six moons revealed themselves as the clouds drifted away. The demonic presence grew stronger suddenly, the man had appeared above my partner and gave him a vicious blow with his great bloody claw. He turned around in a swift movement and blocked the large claw with his sword. They struggled with brute strength, trying outdo each other. I leap into the air to launch an attack, his horrid smile turned towards me and released another gigantic claw that crushed me onto the ground. I screamed in agony as it pinned me against the floor with an enormous force.
The distraction was a chance for my partner and he leap back to dodge the claw. He sprinted quickly, faster than the monster's attack, then he landed on the demon's arm and thrust his sword into the hard skin. Now the demon was in pain, he lifted the hand and swung it around in anger. His voice grew rough and deep, and roared with madness and charged at my partner.
I steadied myself and stood up for the battle, and searched for an opening quietly in the mist as my sword glowed bright under the glow of the six moons. My partner jumped forth and cut off the great claw with a perfect strike, that created a chance for me to strike. I sprinted towards the monster silently and fast, the sword in my hand glittered as the strange energy within overwhelms it. I slashed the monster and a powerful radiant of light burst forth. A bright glow, shaped of a white crescent moon flew towards him and ended his pitiful life.
The blood of the dead tainted the six moon night and they soon glowed dimmer with a crimson hue. I sheathed the blood-tainted sword as the fog faded away, the presence of evil disappeared with the cold, gentle breeze.
