• He unloaded the gun again and saw that a full bullet came out. It had a sharp end and it had a blunt golden glow. Blade shot again and the bullet cut through the fire and hit the person on the opposite side. Blade noted he had already shot the person on the other side. He unloaded the gun again and no bullet came out. Blade smirked a bit and then proceed the finish the rest of the crew. He finished and holstered the gun. Blade realized that he didn’t need to unload the gun each time.

    Blade went back into the tent and blinked and suddenly a loud bang shook the ground causing Tribal to scream loudly and Blade to almost jump. Tribal looked around and then ran outside to see what happened. He saw all the people he knew dead on the ground. He started to cry and knelt on the ground. Blade walked out. Tribal quickly turned and attempted to put all his weight into a punch aimed at avenging his parents. Blade quickly grabbed the punch kicked Tribal’s arm. “You didn’t know why I did it and you are going to have to be a lot quicker to get me. That was a good punch but it was too unfocused.” Blade said. Tribal was crying kneeling on the ground holding his broken arm. “You don’t understand. They were no longer your parents. A light magic was controlling your parents’ minds. I couldn’t do anything but kill them.”

    Tribal seemed to come to his senses a bit. “I guess I couldn’t kid myself forever. I guess it was just time for this to happen.” Tribal said. He sat and thought for a while. After five minutes he looked at blade and asked “can I come with you?” Blade looked at him for a moment and then said “only if you really want to. I am not forcing you to do this. It will be hard and painful so only come if you think you are ready.” Blade said. Tribal thought for a second. “Yes I am ready. Let’s go. I have nothing left here.” Tribal said. “well, let…” Before blade could finish a loud scream came out of nowhere and caused Blades soul to shake. “You won’t kill me this fast!” the voice boomed.

    Blade quickly pulled out his gun and aimed it behind him. He fired off a round and turned quickly. A bright hand flinched back in pain after the surprise attack. The hand was part of a giant structure. Tribal turned around and gasped in shock. The bright white figure looked like a giant rock beast. It had a middle, hands, feet, and a head. The head was like an eagle’s and the hands and feet were normal. The left hand made a sweep to grab Blade and Tribal. Blade grabbed the giant hand and threw it to the ground with a hard effort. Blade shot at the head of the figure and it cracked. Tribal looked scared. “Take this.” Blade said and a handgun appeared in his hand and he gave it to Tribal and a bag full of ammo. Blade hammered the head with shots. Tribal helped and reloaded from time to time.

    After a hard hammering the figure collapsed and a single figure appeared in front of the fire. It was an eagle Tribal and it was gasping. Tribal aimed his gun at the figure. A small flash and it turned into a more female figure and looked at Tribal pleadingly. Blade realized that this was the form of Tribal’s mother. Blade looked at the two cat people who he had killed. He wondered how they got infected. Tribal showed weakness at this imposter. Blade ran up and kicked the imposter into the flame. Tribal snapped back to reality and Blade could almost hear the thud of Tribals thoughts falling back into place. “You can’t show weakness. You must be strong. You have no ties left here. Don’t let your guard down.” Suddenly grass was getting flattened under feet. Blade threw down a smoke bomb and grabbed Tribal. By the time the magic guard got there nobody was there and all that was left was a large amount of smoke.
