Aquofim knew that silhouettes, instead of using magic to fight, summoned spirits that fought for them. Beyond that, silhouettes were one of the unknowns of the land. Aquofim had only fought one before, and had Argentate to help her. Now, Argentate was blocked from helping her and she had to go it alone. She drew her axe. The silhouette laughed and sent weapons at her. Aquofim held out her hand and dispelled the weapons. With the agility and grace of a griffin rider, Aquofim swung her axe with relative ease at the silhouette. Nihil seemed to pull a sword out of thin air to block. In her other hand she drew a knife and thrust upward to stab Aquofim. Aquofim spun around, narrowly dodging the thrust, and kicked Nihil in the face. Aquofim switched hands and swung at Nihil's waist. Nihil held her sword to block, but the force of Aquofim's blow knocked the sword out of her hand. Aquofim hit Nihil with the flat part of her axe, and whirled it around. She was not messing around. Nihil sent two spear wielding wight spirits at Aquofim. Aquofim showed a bit of a fearful expression for a moment, but then said a word in the ancient language and vanquished them with fire. Nihil said, "I'm surprised. You handle yourself as if you are not at all afraid of what I can do. You are one of three options: stupid, naive, or prideful. None of those things are good, and none will help you here. If you are stupid, then I will educate you with fear. If you are naive, then I will give you a terrible experience." "And if I'm prideful?" Aquofim asked, somewhat scared of the answer. "Then I will humble you with my vast might!" Nihil cackled. Darkness swirled around her arms, as spirits began to surround her and add to her strength. Aquofim trembled. Without Argentate, she did not know if she could win. |

Nihil swung at Aquofim with her sword. Aquofim did a rather graceful back flip to dodge and landed perfectly with her long hair flowing behind her. She pun around with her battle axe and slashed at the silhouette. Nihil blocked the blow with her sword spirit, but the vibrations sent from the strength of the blow caused her hands to vibrate. Aquofim took this opportunity to do a sweeping kick to Nihil's legs, knocking her down to the ground. Aquofim brought down her axe towards her opponent. Nihil summoned a wight that took the blow for her. Nihil kicked at Aquofim's legs, but Aquofim jumped over her kicks, and landed towards Nihil's side. Nihil jabbed upward with a spear thrust. Aquofim leaped to the side and avoided it ably. Nihil jumped back up into a standing position and thrust and thrust at Aquofim with her spear. The griffin rider, however, had no problem blocking each thrust with her axe. Though it was attack after attack from Nihil, Aquofim was not getting moved back. Finally, Aquofim dodged off to the side from the thrust and grabbed onto the end of it with one hand. With her other hand, she brought down her axe and it cut the spear in half. Nihil was left holding the blunt end. Aquofim struck at Nihil who, this time, summoned an axe this time to combat Aquofim's Intrepid. As the two locked blades, Aquofim subtly drew her knife in her other hand. She forced Nihil's axe away and stabbed the silhouette right in the heart. Aquofim continued to plunge it deeper and deeper until the top half of the knife was all the way into Nihil's chest. Aquofim relaxed and lowered her axe. All of a sudden, Nihil slashed Aquofim shoulder. Aquofim screamed in pain but also because it was so unexpected. Then, she remembered. The only way that you could kill a silhouette is to cut off its head. |

Aquofim sank to one knee and uttered a quick healing spell. This spell would not full heal her shoulder because she did not want to expend to much energy, nor did she have the time, but it would stop the bleeding. The silhouette kicked Aquofim back a few feet and sent vampire bat spirits at Aquofim. Aquofim drew her bow with a determined expression on her face and shot each one down expertly with her bow, but then grabbed her shoulder as a sharp pain went through it. Nihil cackled. She created a smokescreen in front of Aquofim. The smoke was thick and swirling. Aquofim did not want to use a lot more energy because she had used a lot anyway and still had to heal her shoulder fully so she decided to rely on her other senses. She closed her eyes. She heard a whistling sound to her left and put up her two hands. She had caught her own knife. She reasoned that Nihil must have taken it out of her and thrown it. She put it away. She recognized a few footsteps coming closer to her by vibrations in the ground and swung her axe forward. Smoke cleared around what she had swung at and an undead lay cleaved in half. She stomped her foot down on its head, re-killing it. The griffin rider smelled a foul smell behind her and punched to where it was coming from. The smoke cleared around where she punched and there was a giant animated eyeball. The eyeball fell after the punch and it was writhing on the ground until Aquofim vanquished it with an explosion. Aquofim held out her smooth hand to gather the smoke and tasted it. It tasted...sweet? The silhouette was trying to make Aquofim fall asleep by inhaling too much. She was already drowsy and Aquofim finally realized it. She cursed in the ancient language as her eyes started to close feeling too heavy to be kept open. She fell down to the ground as her legs were too tired to hold her. "No!" she cried out. "Not here! Not now! I can't fall asleep. The silhouette will kill me." |

Aquofim, said a familiar voice. I'm done with my enemies. Argentate? Aquofim asked. I'm falling asleep. I'm almost completely unconscious. If that happens, Nihil will kill me. I won't be able to stop her. This smoke is a depressant and it acts like a sleeping pill. What do I do? Argentate could feel Aquofim's despair, but knew that she could feel his too so he tried to hide it. Draw upon my strength, Little One. I lost a lot of it against my enemies, but if you lose it will mean much more, than my battle did. Aquofim could feel Argentate's life force, and it made her uneasy. He had taken quite a few hits and it was less than normal. Of course, hers was too. I can't Argentate! she exclaimed. Something bad will happen to you. You might fall unconscious or worse! I don't care, Argentate forcefully replied. We're in this together, Aquofim. You and I. I can't bear the thought of you getting killed by a silhouette without my help. Draw upon my strength and you will be able to overcome your drowsiness. You will also be able to dispel the smoke. You don't have much time. Do it now! Aquofim reluctantly drew upon Argentate's strength as much as she could enough to overcome the drowsiness that she experienced and to dispel the smoke. I did it! she thought. Argentate! You were right, and now I can finish off this silhouette! There was no reply. |

Aquofim was angered by the loss of her companion. She looked outside of the barrier and saw his massive body in a heap. She was relieved to see that he was still breathing, but he was for sure unconscious. With her brow furrowed, she raised her axe in a menacing fashion. Nihil summoned her own axe. With unbelievable grace, Aquofim, struck at Nihil, throwing her off-balance, did a double-flip over her, landed on the other side and hacked off her head in one swipe. Nihil's head rolled across the ground. Immediately, the barrier was broken and the powerful aura that surrounded Nihil was gone. She now just looked like a normal human being. Aquofim ran towards her steed and her hair draped over her face as she bent to chcekc him and his pulse. Doing some more medical examining that she had learned, she found that he was in a coma and it was not looking good. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she cursed in the ancient language and said, "Why, Argentate? Why did you make me do that? I cannot live without you!" she sobbed. "Argentate! I'm sorry I wasn't good enough. I'm so sorry." She collapsed over his fallen body, weeping, praying that her steed would not be lost. ((This is where this current story ends. Argentate will be out for awhile in the upcoming plotlines, hopefully recuperating.)) |
