Chapter 11

DAMN! I felt…. good! I barely felt the pain of the wounds I had taken, and instead, the battle lust, and blood fueled rage coursed through my body like liquid fire. I knew I should be tired, it had been a long and hard fight, but all I felt now was a desire to kill more humans. The feeling was almost sexual, and I wanted, no needed to kill more!

“Vessel, though I am very pleased with our harvest, and your bloodlust is admirable, you must calm yourself, cage the animal in your soul, we need to escape this town now, and then we can put that blood energy to good use! Calm yourself!”

The dragons voice cut through the haze of my bloodlust, and I grasped onto it, and with an almost physical effort, began to pull myself back into a controllable state. While internally it felt like it took hours, in reality, it took mere seconds.

Finally, I lowered unclenched my hands, and opened my eyes. I was greeted with a bloody and gruesome sight. Bodies lay mangled in disfigured positions of death and the smell of coppery blood was thick in the air. It made my mouth water with eagerness, and I wrestled the urge to lick the blood off my armor. I also smelled the scent of smoke, and caught sight of the garrison’s headquarters, engulfed in flames, it seemed the mage was a fire specific mage.

It was then that I realized that I was standing apart from everyone, and I looked around, and caught sight of the group I was supposed to escape with.

I was still covered in blood, as it seemed with Raskorian’s new way of absorbing blood was slower than it usually was. And that mixed with the flesh, brain matter, and other gore splattered all over my body must have made for quite the sight. I grinned under my mask, and quickly moved around the battlefield and collected my gear. The two blunt weapons and the naginata. The entire time the group silently watched me, as if observing a rabid dog.

After collecting all of my gear, I marched towards them. A number of the prisoners took steps back in fright as I came near, but I ignored them, instead looking bewilderedly at Orizmad, and yelled, “Why the fuck aren’t these people moving?! We need to get the fuck out of here! Every guard in a few square miles will be charging towards us, let alone the regulars at the keep!”

My voice seemed to snap the dwarf out of his shocked state, and he visibly shook himself, and hardened his face.

He turned, and yelled, “You heard him! On the double, move ya asses, and make for the north gate! Stay together, we will need to fight our way out!”
