The Sabers: A Short Story

“I would stomp you into the ground until I couldn’t recognize you as a person, but lucky for you I have other, stronger feelings of sorts,” Assef spat. He was grinning now. “I would’ve ripped up that pretty kite of yours if that Hazara didn’t run off with it. Hold him down.”

“The men we sent to aid you said when they got there; the entire village was destroyed, still burning in a white fire. When they found you, you are standing over his body, your blade glowing a brilliant radiance while it was still plunged into that creature, and you unconscious still gripping the blade as if you’d die if you let go it,” explained High Marshal Macharius, as he strode from his sentinel position to the edge of Agernath’s bed.

"We been walking forever." Obi complaining. Zen turn around ready to yelled at him like her did three time when they got in the forest.

Amir struggles with the weight of seeing his friend, Hassan, being raped and doing nothing to help stop the horrific event from happening. Soraya, on the other hand, struggles with her decision to run away with a boyfriend that leads to

“Good Bye.” And the golden cat attacked again. Tizbeth aimed the blade at the beast’s heart. The blade deflected off the creature’s chest. Tizbeth scrambled to her feet. The cat sat on its haunches and looked at her, shook its head and knocked the knife into the fire.

"Samuel's father is with them. He should be able to help while we help fight those things. Come on," he told her, pulling out a pistol for her to take. She grabbed it, putting it in her front pocket. "We have to inform the force."

He did not feel the blade sinking into flesh, instead, into the mattress. Glancing down, Akaashi saw piercing, cat like eyes, staring back at him. The Captain smirked at him as Akaashi jerked

Finally, Jayanti’s first exposure to the world outside her Aunt’s house and the events that lead after, changes who she really is,

Jake moved in closer. “Most people wouldn’t pick sides. I’m lucky you did.” He extended his hand. “Are you hurt?”

“Arden was shot. There’s a high possibility she will go into organ failure,” Shaun said impatiently, clearly wanting to go into the hospital to help.

"It's OK, really it is. I have sustained worse injuries before." I say smiling at her. She looks at me and a smile slowly appears on her face.

He leaves Hassan behind even though he knows that Hassan will be hit by Assef. He claims he was frightened to be hurt by Assef.

Didn’t you hear me, that thing is dangerous.” “All weapons are dangerous,” She says. “But this one is the last gift Asami received from her deceased father and if he gave it to her knowing how dangerous it was he must have had faith in her to be able to wield it. Like it or not that weapon and Asami are staying together, plus they both help get you out of deep trouble.” Void stands silent with an uncertain look in his face.

Your father is the exception because I owed him my life and now to hear that he’s dead.” “That’s exactly why we’re here. Please for the memory of my father join us to stop the people trying to end this world.” “By the way you still haven’t told us why you think that girl was an android.” Kiyohime interrupts. Void puts a serious look on his face “Well every time I fight somebody it’s like our soul’s link and I can feel their reason to fight and what drives them. But with her all I felt was emptiness, like she had nothing not even a will of her own. The only time I ever felt that was fighting artificial beings.

She aimed another punch at her direction. She had a plan in mind however.

“The hierarch is right,” Ulder supported him. “Tarkan, Edef, Erker and me (those who had already seen the arazis) will stay here to make sure that the demons are not chasing you after. We’ll catch up later. The hierarch, the Rahip and the rest of the guards will guide you to the Main Village.”
