Chương 20: Nothing is what it seems in the presence of the sun

Goba did indeed come out of the shed, but not in the way I expected. He actually flew out, all bloodied and beaten up! "Goba!? What happened to you!?" I scream out immediately while running towards him. I slide down on my knees end end up sitting right next to him, only after seeing his wounds up close do I realise how bad his condition is! But as far as I know none of his wounds are lethal, he was being tortured.

"You seem pretty close to my slave, boy. I did notice a little worm nosing around on my land, but as it gave that green fuck more chances to make a mistake I let you be, and behold! My master plan paid off. Mwhahahaha" Pridove came out of the shed at some point, starting to talk in his drunken tone, interrupted by hiccups. But I don't really care as I'm thinking of what I'm going to do to help Goba! The first thing I need to do is clean him up, so I must take him to the creek.

As I'm starting to pick Goba up a kick comes in flying to my side, making me fly a few meters to the side. I'm sure not to make a sound as people like Pridove love to see signs of weakness, that's one of the things I learned in my days on the street. I stand back up, ignoring my painful ribs, and look Pridove straight in the eyes. A chill runs down my neck as I look in those dark, crazy eyes, but I ignore that feeling. I won't achieve anything by being afraid now!

"What did you do to Goba!? Why did you do this to him!? He was the first person who ever came close to me, he did nothing to deserve this treatment! Let me take him and clean his wounds, then you'll never hear from us again!"

I scream at him angrily, but this only makes him laugh louder, what a sick man!

"Did nothing to deserve this? Did you know that he's known as the Reaper in these parts? Killing everything on his path! I do everyone a service by taking care of him the way I do, let him atone for his sins. He only uses you to find a way to free himself! You're easy kid, but your tiny bit of potential was enough to sway him into deceiving you."

Pridove's voice grows colder as he ends his statement, an aura starts spreading from his body that almost makes me shiver in place. And even if what he says is true, I don't care. The care and patience he showed me cannot have been fake! I must find a way to save him, to get him away from that man, to get him away from the bindings of that contract, I need to break it! I need to protect Goba and give him a new home!

And just like that, just under the whirlpool in my chest something new appeared, something extremely vast that only takes a tiny space. Even before I really know what's happening, Goba disappears, one moment he's there, the next moment he isn't! But something in me tells me that he's safe for now and that what happened to him will be cleared out later. First I need to take care of this man!

"What did you do to that Goblin!? Where is he!? Why can't I feel his presence anymore!?" a totally different aura starts to shine through the one he released earlier, if the one he released first felt like someone holding a knife to your throat, then this one feels like someone's holding a knife to your throat but a dancing monkey juggling an innumerable amount of knifes behind him is yelling that he should give you to him so he can enjoy himself with your body! It's scary, it's crazy... But it must also be fake? Yes, it must be fake!

How dare he to show something like that in front of me! If I can use an image to draw in my aura, then I can also use an image to send it out massively! The image I can think of right now is one no one dares to go up against in fright of being burned.

"Who do you think you are? Sending a pitiful aura out like that in front of me!? I tried to be nice but I see you took my generosity as weakness! Goba did teach me some things, but I also found things myself, things even he isn't aware of. And you'll be the first one to bow down to that!"

This is the greatest bluff I've done in all my life, but it doesn't matter, I only need an opening to strike him down. Battles are fought in instances, not in long battles!

An aura starts to pulsate out of my body, an aura that's lofty and majestic, unreachable even. An aura that strikes fear in all that's wicked and respect in all that's good. An aura like the sun! An aura that makes anyone that feels it want to hide their own bad parts and only want to show what's good!

Pridove steps a step back, being surprised by the airs that surround me now. As he retreats I step forward, scytge in my hand. My step turns into a sprint as I close the distance between us.

"NO! Stay back! This isn't how it was supposed to be! I was going to kill you slowly in front of the Goblin and then kill him!" there's more panic in his voice than there was supposed to be, he doesn't even hiccup anymore. He turns around and starts running, although slightly slow due to the booze.

"You cannot strike me down, the goblin will die too!" I ignore him, I don't know what happened to Goba, but I know he's safe. I'm slowly getting closer, only about 6 meters now.

"You must be bluffing, you cannot get that strong, that quickly! And even if you were it can only be temporary! You will die if you use too much of that power." all the power I have truly feels like my own, he must just be spouting nonsense to slow me down. A little over 4 meters left.

"If you kill me they'll lock you up! You can't kill a retired soldier and get away with it!" damn he's talking a lot. I have nothing to lose, so I don't care. 3 meters left. The house is getting closer. I need to get him before he reaches the house, so I speed up some more, truly the fastest I can go now.

"I will forever haunt you, BOY! I'll be sure of that! I won't just haunt you, I'll take over your body and put your mind through hell!" my scythe cuts past, cutting deep into his leg, he falls on the ground. Pridove screams and turns around, facing me, holding his leg.

"I'll take you out, no matter what you say, people like you should be taken out so they can't cause trouble anymore!" my scythe swings at him and digs into his chest. But from his open mouth emerges something black, it's about as big as a grown mans fist with wings! It flies towards me really fast, it pecks my forehead and I loose consciousness.
