Chapter 8: An Ally's Farewell
Those few days were some of the harshest days of training Sven had ever experienced. He was getting better however, he was not knocked down as easily as before, he could keep his composure especially in the face of danger and wielding the Justice became as natural as writing. He could now wield it with insane speed and power. The training however, took at least 4 days including a day of rest for Sven was exhausted from the hardest workout he had ever experienced.
Even Nortrom was taught by his uncle how to brandish his blades in melee combat and how to use his shield properly. So he was great at ranged combat and now an adept at melee combat as well.
As for Magina, his situation was quite pitiful. He could barely find his way around the place and would stumble over something now and then. He couldn't see the magnificent view from the house of Yurnero which overlooked the sea. He could still wield his blades but he did not know where to hit so it seemed like his efforts were in vain.
Sven: Thank you for training me Great Yurnero. It was an excellent learning experience. Come on Nortrom, Magina, let's be on our way. Hm? Where's Magina?
Yurnero: He told me that he would be staying here until he learns how to fight without sight. You go on without him, he still has a long way to go.
Sven: Alright, I understand. We'll be on our way then
Yurnero: Take care on your journey! You never know what may happen next!
Magina: Wait, Sven, I know you're much stronger now than you were before but don't bite off more than you can chew, it's a very common yet fatal misconception you can make in the battlefield.
Sven: Of course, don't worry about me. Instead, you should focus and be the best that you can be! Go for it my friend!
Sven and Nortrom then left the small town in which the famed blademaster lived...
Sven: It's not going to be the same without him around huh?
Nortrom: Don't worry, knowing him, he'll be back someday and will be able to fight much better than ever before.
Sven: You're right, we must continue our search for power and the valuable item you lost!

*I know, the stories I make seem to be a compilation of many other different stories. I'm not a very wide reader so I might not know that much but nowadays, nearly nothing is original! It's as if everything's been done already right? But it's how I compile it that makes it original
Chapter 9: A Visit to Another Realm
Nortrom: Sven, how is you search for power going?
Sven: I'm not really sure myself. I haven't found anything that seems significant enough to-
Just then, they came across some sort of ritual circle on the ground which was emanating with power beyond imagination. Sven and Nortrom had a closer look at it when someone pushed them into it, leading them into a different realm.
The realm was vast and blazing with the flames of hell. There were creatures that were identified as faceless ones and unbroken ones.
Sven: Where the hell are we?
Nortrom: I don't know but I don't like it.
???: What is your purpose here?
Sven: Who, what are you?
???: I am Gondar, a Bounty Hunter on the search for my target.
Sven: I am Sven, I am searching for power in order to defeat a great enemy. Gondar, maybe we can help you?
Gondar: No need, I'm already tracking him down. Thank you for the offer anyway. If you are searching for power, there is an ancient artifact here that is said to grant unfathomable power to the one who obtains it. Be careful though, the guardians are extremely powerful. I should know, I've tried more than once already.
And with that, the dranei disappeared into the shadows.
Nortorm: What I'm wondering is who pushed us here.
Sven: Based on our previous experiences, it was probably Abaddon. Oh well, let's look for that artifact of power Gondar mentioned.
As they went deeper into this strange place, more and more creatures popped up to attack them whom Sven and Nortrom easily dispatched of.
Sven: Judging by the number of faceless and unbroken ones we've faced, I guess we're getting nearer!
Nortrom: Yeah, I agree! Let's move on forward.
It seemed that these creatures came wave after wave. Occasionally, some tentacles would pop out of the ground that they cut down to size. It seemed that something was hell-bent on keeping them out.
After a huge wave of the unbroken and faceless ones, a lone figure stood in their way. It was another faceless one but it was bigger than the others. It attacked with much more skill, strength and accuracy than the others as this one bashed a rock into pieces when Nortrom avoided its hit.
It seemed that it couldn't get hit. It was able to avoid the glaives and the storm hammer with ease. The battle was pretty much a stalemate. They couldn't just run past it as well as a huge, demonic gate blocked the path and only this one had the key to it.
When Nortrom was able to block its attack with his shield, it cracked. So Nortrom retaliated and fought without a shield but instead, with a glaive of wisdom in each hand. Sven then slashed at its back with such great cleaving strength that it would destroy a freight train.
It seemed that it wasn't able to avoid it that well and was wounded in its back. Then, as it looked like it would flee, it opened its hands up wide then a blue sphere where time did not pass engulfed both Sven and Nortrom for a short time which was seemingly all the time the creature needed to bash them.
When it dissipated, Nortrom was knocked out but Sven was still standing with that crazed, mad look in his eyes once more. Sven attacked now with such strength, speed and relentlessness that this faceless one could barely defend itself any longer. Then, there came a point when the faceless one wasn't able to defend itself which Sven, now maddened with rage, took advantage of and immediately launched a storm hammer at it, stunning it for a while. Sven then slashed it right through.
Nortrom then woke up seeing the bloodied, beaten faceless one just lying there.
Sven was now calm again as he picked up the key the faceless one dropped, opened the door to the other side and entered a bright, vibrant room that had an aura of power about it. He was just about to pick up the artifact when Gondar appeared again before him.
Gondar: Now, Sven, think carefully before you pick that up. When you pick that up, it will test if you are indeed worthy of the power it holds.
Sven: How do you know all this Gondar?
Gondar: My good friend, Ish'kafel, also sought this artifact. Apparently, he wasn't worthy and was ripped apart by the power of the artifact, never to be seen again.
Sven: Alright, I'll do it. This is what I have been seeking this whole time!
Sven the picked up the artifact and immediately felt a great pain surging throughout him. This was the test Gondar spoke about. Sven was screaming out of pain but would not let go of the artifact.
Sven: Gaaah! I won't give up! This is what I've been searching for all this time!!!

*Gondar had already killed his target then appeared to Sven and Nortrom. Sorry for forgetting to mention.
Chapter 10: A New Found Power
Wave after wave of pain, Sven endured and all Nortrom could do was watch. Gondar had already left to hunt his new target which left the two isolated in this strange dimension.
Finally, there came, a very acute, sharp pain for the last few seconds and Sven felt much better than he ever did. Apparently, the artifact, the Ultimate Orb was doing everything it could to block off all hostiles.
Sven now felt a new power like never before. He felt as if he could easily take down a whole mountain in one strike but the feeling left him almost as fast as it came.
Sven: I feel much more different than before. But how do we get out of this strange place?
Nortrom: Why don't you try the Ultimate Orb?
Sven: Oh yeah, we should.
However, Sven noticed that the Justice was flashing with a bright light once more. When it had dispersed, Sven found himself holding the Orb along with the Perseverance. He then noticed a piece of paper on the floor saying, "The true potential of the artifact shall be recognized through forging it with the energies of life and magic."
Sven remembered that the Perseverance had those two energies inside of it. Remembering this, he put the Ultimate Orb and the Perseverance together. Sven made a Storm Hammer hit the two and there was another flash of light.
What appeared was a blue sphere of sorts swirling with powerful energies. Sven picked it up and felt like he did before when he first picked up the Ultimate Orb. He raised the Linken's Sphere above his head and slowly, the dimension started to disperse and Sven and Nortrom found themselves back in front of the ritual circle which now seemed to be neutralized.
Sven: Oh, we're back to reality. Hm? What's that?
They walked a short distance from the circle to investigate what it was that caught Sven's interest.
Nortrom: Hey, it's...Abaddon! He's dead!
Sven: Serves him right. Hey, these wounds can only be caused by moon blades. I remember seeing them on that Abomination we killed long ago. Magina killed him! Wow, he sure has gotten strong ever since he trained with Yurnero.
Nortrom: I guess he has, hasn't he? Oh, Sven look over there!
From where they stood, they could see a tree much larger than anything they have ever seen before.
Nortrom: Wow, you can see the World Tree from here.
Sven: World Tree?
Nortrom: Yes, Nordrassil, the tree blessed by the Dragon Aspects of ages past. It is a way for the Night Elves to keep their Immortality.
Sven: Impressive, to think that such power would emanate from a tree like that!
Nortrom: Maybe Magina headed there, he might have thought that you may have gone there to obtain power.
Sven: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!
They made their way towards the World Tree, not knowing what would await them...

Chapter 11: The True Enemy
Upon arrival at the World Tree, the duo was stopped by a couple of sentries.
Sentry: What is your purpose here?
Nortrom: Last time I visited, there was no one guarding the place. Has something come up?
Sentry 2: Yes, recently, there have been signs of a possible attack by The Scourge. As always, they target the World Tree in order to destroy the Night Elves once and for all.
Sven: I see, I really have no interest in this defense, only seeing if my friend is here. He's a Night Elf with twin moon blades and a blindfold.
Sentry 1: Unfortunately, we have seen no one by that description.
Sven: I see, thank you.
Nortrom: Wait Sven, if the scourge really do plan on attacking this place, we must defend it for the sake of the Night Elves. Half of you is one isn't it?
Sven: I see, if I'm to keep what power I have now, I must defend this place. Is that the reason why Syllabear seemed to be living for such a long time already?
Nortrom: If this Syllabear is a purple-skinned elf, then yes. Night Elves are purple such as yourself. I'm a blood elf, a lot of my people have been killed over the times but they still survive until today.
Sentry: If you wish to help defend the World Tree, come with me.
They followed the sentry deeper into the area and ended up at an encampment of Night Elves. They were then brought to Mirana Nightshade, the leader of the defense against The Scourge.
Sentry: Priestess Mirana, we have found these two wandering outside, they want to help out in the war it seems.
Mirana: I see, you may leave them here with me.
Sentry: As you command.
Mirana: Now, why is it that one such as you would like to help against the campaign against The Scourge?
Nortrom: Priestess, we know about the powers the tree possesses. Should it fall into the hands of those wretches, it may be the end of the Night Elves and the world as we know it.
Mirana: I see, an admirable and intellectual cause you have there. How about you?
Sven: I'm a half elf, half demon creature. Knowing how the Tree supports my life too, I must defend it with all my might.
Mirana: I see, maybe your strength is all we will need to-
Sentry: Priestess, The Scourge, are here!
All of them went outside at once and looked at the massive force of undead before them. There were ghouls, abominations, frost wyrms, crypt fiends, and other creatures like ursa warriors and trolls as well. Mirana responded to this by giving some sort of signal. Suddenly, a huge force of Night Elves appeared followed by a white tiger that leaped forth from the jungle.
Mirana: The enemy is here, all our forces are now prepared for the defense.
Mortred: This looks like it's going to be way harder than last time.
Luna: Yes, let's hope that we can win this battle.
Shendelzare: My forces are ready for this battle.
Mirana: Sven and Nortrom, you two will join Luna's group.
All the forces were ready, The Scourge launched their first wave of attack composed of a few ghouls probably to test out the power of The Sentinel. Sven and Nortrom easily took them out.
Then someone appeared from the shadows of The Scourge force. It was an...elf who had a blindfold and was wielding twin moon blades. As he walked out of the shadows, his wings, horns and hooves were revealed.
Sven: This guy, could he be the brother whom Magina had talked about before?
Mirana: Terrorblade, he's the new commander of the scourge now that Abaddon's dead. Our owls scout the area quite regularly and it's still such a shock that Terrorblade, one of our most powerful warriors, went to The Scourge for their unique powers over the dead. He was consumed by his desire for power.
Terrorblade gave a signal and the whole army charged ahead! It was a war of epic proportions, glaives were being thrown here and there, hooks flying about! Warrior after warrior, undead after undead was being subdued!
Mortred then told Mirana a good sneaking tactic that they can use and led Mirana to a secluded area in the forest. Mirana went ahead and Mortred gave a signal. Suddenly, a huge abomination appeared who had a rabid look in its eyes. It took one look at Mirana and said, "Fresh Meat!"
Mirana tried to run but as she turned about, Mortred stabbed here with a poisoned dagger.
Mirana: How could you betray us like this?
Mortred: You were holding me back all this time Mirana, but now, I shall have my revenge by subduing you once and for all!
This huge abomination then tossed the hook on its arm, hitting Mirana on the leg. She gave out a cry of agony when the hook was pulled back. When she got close enough to this abomination, it chopped her head off with its meat cleaver.
Mortred nodded in approval with this incident but suddenly stopped, threw a dagger and hit someone. She blinked in and struck the intruder to see that it was Shendelzare.
Mortred: No one will learn of this incident.
And with that, she slashed Shendelzare with her chakram with such force that Shendelzare just died then and there.
By Elune's grace, the warden's spirit was given a new form that remained in this realm to continue leading the Sentinel against the Scourge and her sister, Mortred.
Sven was putting on quite a spectacle to behold, as he subdued every single enemy that came close to him. He would strike with such power that just the force of his attack was able to damage those a short distance away from him. It was then that some sort of aura started emanating from him, making everyone feel as if they all had an unseen armor protecting them.
Nortrom too was doing very well. His glaives never missed, he defended very well, and spun his glaive around like a shredder whenever an enemy got close to him.
Luna herself was impressed by the might of these two but couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. It was then that Mortred appeared in front of The Sentinel forces and started slashing at them!
Mortred then summoned a dark entity that looked much like herself. It then summoned spirits from the corpses around the area that were powerful at the same time, invulnerable. Sven thought for a second and then launched a strom hammer at the entity but it just went through and killed a ghould behind it.
Nortrom threw a Glaive of Wisdom but it went through as well. The Scourge forces were becoming overwhelmingly massive with all those spirits.
It was then that a moon blade came flying through the air and stabbed the entity in the heart, dispersing it and the summoned spirits once and for all. Only then did a familiar figure jump down from the tree. It was Magina, he threw the blade. Without any problem now, he walked up to the location of his blade, picked it up and faced the new opponents.
They all charged forward toward The Scourge force. Only Sven noticed that Terrorblade was moving away from the battle so he went to hunt down this traitor who was the cause of all this trouble...

Chapter 12: The Conclusion to a Battle Long Fought
Sven ran through another path following Terrorblade while his companions fought against Mortred and Pudge.
The four of them, namely Magina, Nortrom, Luna, Shendelzare as a Spirit of Vengeance, all worked together to put an end to Mortred's treachery. Only the elite forces were left, and all of them charged at one another. Mortred however, was wielding not her chakram anymore but a shining golden axe. She wielded it with impressive skill against Magina and Shendelzare.
Pudge on the other hand was cannibalizing anything that got in his way. He even ate up a ghoul in front of him! Pudge then launched his hook and it caught the creature Luna was riding on. She saw it slaughtered mercilessly by this overpowered freak. She was enraged by this and a number of Lucent Beams shot at Pudge. Nortrom followed up with a Glaive of Wisdom.
Pudge was knocked down but did its best to get back up on its feet again. He launched his hook again and it headed straight for Luna. Luna though she was done for when Magina came in and deflected the hook with his blade.
Shendelzare launched a magic missile at Mortred who was unable to avoid it and was knocked out. Magina quickly subdued Pudge by shooting from his hands, a bright green light that engulfed and killed Pudge.
Luna: What was that?
Magina: It's a mana void. It's grows stronger the less magical energies the opponent has and apparently, Pudge had none left.
Luna: Oh yes, uh *blushes* I wanted to thank you for saving my life just then.
Magina: Oh, it was no problem at all. Now then, what do we do with this knocked out traitor?
Mortred: I'm not giving up yet! You will all pay dearly for this!!! Raaaaagh!
Mortred became blurred as a shadow, surrounded by dark magical energies and reappeared as a Spectre of her former self. She gave out one more battle cry before she disappeared into the shadows as if she was one herself...
Going back to Sven...
Sven followed a path of blazing footprints to an isolated location far from where the battle had taken place and ended up face to face with Terrorblade.
Sven: You're the cause of all this! You've ruined so many innocent lives for this! I will not allow you to live any longer!
Terrorblade: It was all necessary for this, to obtain the power of the World Tree! And with that power in my hands, none shall oppose The Scourge! What about you? Didn’t you kill all those faceless ones? Weren’t they innocents you killed for power? We’re not very much different you know.
Sven: No! I am much different than you! Yes, I know I have killed a lot of faceless ones to get power but I know the limit! I know when it’s enough!
Terrorblade: Whatever you say has no value to me any longer. Die!
Terrorblade then conjured up two images of himself. Sven did not know which was which because of the blinding light that surrounded Terrorblade. Sven did not panic and cut down the images with ease. Terrorblade nodded in acknowledgement for Sven’s power as he tried to drain Sven’s life force.
It was then absorbed into Sven’s backpack. Sven then took out the Linken’s Sphere and saw it dispatch the spell quickly. Terrorblade was now angered by this and he ran for Sven. It felt like one of those practice matches he had with Magina a few times but this was much harder to fight against Terrorblade.
Sven was able to get in a few hits in on Terrorblade who was knocked down. Then, as he got up, Terrorblade slowly changed his form into that of a demon. When he got his footing again, he started shooting chaos blasts on Sven who could not block such power.
Sven couldn’t do anything but evade at the time when he had an idea. He avoided another blast then tossed a storm hammer at Terrorblade. Sven smiled when he saw that Terrorblade then blasted the storm hammer into bits because he saw how focused Terrorblade was on the storm hammer that he left himself open for a while. Sven took advantage of this momentary destruction and gave out a loud battle cry which seemed to almost triple his strength.
Sven got in position, and followed up with a great cleave on Terrorblade who then shot Sven with a chaos blast which he was not able to avoid. Terrorblade fell to the ground and slowly turned back to his demon hunter form. Sven dealt the final blow and subdued Terrorblade at last.
Sven looked on in the forest where he was and saw smoke coming from a nearby distance. He went to investigate it and saw a fire in the forest. In the smoke he could see that same figure who dropped the perseverance. It then looked back and Sven could see the demon’s eyes through the smoke were an ominous green glowing color. Before Sven was able to do anything else, the figure flew off once more…
Sven then went back to the battlefield and saw that the battle was over.
Sven: Finally it’s all over.
Magina: What happened to my brother, Terrorblade?
Sven: I took care of that guy myself…
Sven collapsed then and there.
He woke up in an elven encampment and went outside and saw that the World Tree was safe at last. But he could not stop thinking about that demonic figure he saw in the smoke of the fires, about who this demon was and what was its purpose…
TO BE CONTINUED…
Yeah, I'm planning on making a sequel to this story in the near future
