The Aftermath and What Will Come of It

Leon rushed over to where Master Gawain and Ulrich lay face down on the ground, “Master Gawain, Ulrich, are you two alright?”

“I believe that we shall live, just give us time to regain our energy.” Gawain smiled faintly.

Ulrich got to his feet without a problem, “I'm fine. But you can thank those two for almost getting me killed.” He said, referring to Gawain and Micha.

“You're the one that wanted to stay and watch,” Gawain said.

“True, lucky for you that I changed my mind and decided to join you guys in this cave, or you would be dead right now old man,” Ulrich angrily proclaimed.

“Thank you for saving my life.” Gawain felt as though he owed Ulrich that much.

“I don't need your praise old man.” Ulrich walked over to the far side of the cave ignoring all else. “I don't need anything from anyone,” he mumbled under his breath.

Gawain smiled, taking in a few more deep breaths of air, “I owe you a debt of gratitude as well, Micha,” he said.

“You owe me no such thing.” Micha was trying to catch his breath too.

Leon walked over to where Gawain and Micha stood gasping for air, “Is all well over here?” he asked. Ellyn wasn't looking so good either.

“All is good, Leon. We just suffer from some of the side effects of the weapon that was used.”

“Do you not feel the effects, young one?” Micha interrupted.

“Not that I know of.”

Micha finally had the strength to stand, but not without the aid of the cave wall. He still looked as though he could collapse again at any moment. “A spell of weakening was cast upon all near the battlefield, that much I am sure of. Gawain, your lady friend there, and I have all been affected. You and the other boy there seem to be feeling no ill effects whatsoever.” He explained. “Why is that?”

“That is the power of the weapon used, it makes sure that anyone near shall not live. You may think it to be a spell, but it is something far more sinister,” Gawain said changing the subject.

“Are you saying it wasn't a spell?” Micha questioned.

“It seems the enemy has acquired the finishing touches to make the weapon complete,” Gawain muttered.

“You make no sense.” Micha was getting a little irritated with his half responses.

“The thick clouds that covered the sun were a poison that has an effect on the body for a short amount of time,” Gawain finally answered.

“Surely you jest,” Micha said. “Not a soul alive could make poison fall from the sky.”

“They found a way to fuse it into the weapon that was fired, that would be my guess. And if that's the case we must find a way to destroy it,” Gawain replied.

Micha's face turned pale, “That means all is dead, even the enemy,” he gasped.

“I do believe so,” Gawain sadly answered.

“Why would Aedan sacrifice his own men? Why would he kill that many people?” Micha questioned, as anger and rage built up inside of him.
