Part 2
by Zuzanny
Ioz looked up from the mug of ale he had been glaring into, at the sound of horns. Alarms blasting throughout the island city. All the partrons of the bar heads came up to exchange glances. Some worried, some excited. After a few seconds where no one loved even to breath, everyone gathered themselves together and stormed to the door, demanding their weapons from the bouncer. The horns continued to blast.
Out on the street there was an organized chaos. Women and children running to close their shops an hide. The men gathering weapons from behind the stalls and hiding in preparation to fight.
Ever looming closer to the bay came the terrible apparition of the Leviathan. Huge and monstrous. Most feared of pirate vessels. This island had been ravaged by them before. It's women and children carted away into the bowels of the giant by the cruel crew. The men slaughtered in the street, lead by the pirate captain Bloth.
That had been some time ago. The island had recovered, had made new alliances. The people here were strong and angry, and would die to protect the island and their families from this evil. Before the monster ship could get close enough, the inhabitants were in place and the horns had stopped blowing. Now they waited.
Ioz's sword glinted in the sun. His thoughts turned to Ren. Missing for so long. dead for sure. Tula had been heart broken and they had continued Ren's quest. To keep his memory alive (and for the sake of mer, but that thought was secondary now).
Ioz itched to fight Bloth face to face. He longed to sink his blade into that bloated hide. To avenge and have revenge. He nodded to another man next to him, kneeling behind the small wall behind the buildings, ready to fight.
A hand touched his shoulder and he turned to face Tula. Grim and determined and lovely. Her eyes burned with a passion that had been missing for some time now. She too held her sword.
"What are you doing here, woman?!" Ioz demanded.
"For Ren." She said simply, and he knew she would not back down. Ioz covered her hand with his and nodded.
"For Ren." He agreed. She gave him a slight smile and looked up into the sky. Bright and clear blue. Ioz saw her eyes change.
"Mist." She breathed, and Ioz's hair stood on end. The air around her seemed to glow. The ocean itself seemed to open and evaporate from deep within, surrounding the island with streams of mist. It was slow in rising, but by the time landing parties from the Leviathan had landed in port thick tendrels had wound around the entire island, giving it an empty, haunted look. Shutters squeaked and banked in the marketplace. The island men waited for their signal. And waited.
The sound of approaching feet filled their ears. And army of a hundred or so pirates bearing torches trudged along. The island men continued to wait and the pirates gathered in the city center, obviously taken aback by the lack of people and goods to plunder. There was much muttering and cursing and supersticous talk. Thunderous footsteps cut through the the voices and the cut throats parted for Bloth... and a small fragile-looking figure clutched against his side.
Ioz could hardly see anything with all the mist in the air. He heard Tula gasp and worried that her powers were failing. "What is it?" he whispered.
"He's alive." She breathed, shaken, obviously having seen more through the use of her powers than the men with out them. "Bloth has Ren," She clarified. "here." She concentrated and the mist thickened around the pirates, signaling to the island men to close the circle around the pirates and spring the trap. "We must do this now."
One by one the pirates were taken down. The mist so thick they never saw what hit them before it was too late. Even then, the pirates missing seeing their death. Ioz took much pleasure in sinking his blade into pirate flesh, in slitting their ugly throats before they could even make a sound.
It was working. Dead pirate flesh littered the ground.
"Stay close, men." Came Bloth's hateful voice. "There is sorcery at work here."
Someone wasn't clean with their kill and a pirate screamed his death. That was all it took for the battle to truly begin.
Ioz's vision tunneled. He killed many and continued on ignor ing the blood and gore that splashed onto his skin, ignoring the screams around him. His goal was Bloth. He wanted Bloth. He wanted to bury his sword deep into that cursed black heart and see his dead.
Bloth was swinging his mighty sword about, hewing the people that came at him neatly to pieces. All the time the small figure of a person that Ioz hardly recognized at first, pressed against the fat man's side, clinging to him with his eyes squeezed shut. It angered Ioz more seeing Ren, for it was Ren, reduced to this... shell of himself.
Ioz saw recognition flair up in Bloth's eyes as they finally met face to face. Bloth grinned with triumph. Bloth pried Ren's white knuckled fingers from his clothes and shoved him harshly aside. Ioz saw Ren stumble and fall. Tula swept to his side with some others and carried him away. Ioz smiled. At last. At LAST... Raising his sword high over his head, he let out a fearsome battle cry and attacked.
