Aramis lowered the scroll. The warriors all let out a sigh of relief. Pain and negativity dropped off of all of them like a weight being lifted off their backs.
Suddenly the sky darkened.
"What is it?" Aramis asked.
Morpheus shock his head. "I don't know."
Suddenly a squad of twelve skeletal warriors swooped down from the sky. The only thing of them whole was their tough black wings.
A creature swung down at Beletrix. No way was she going to just stand there. She swung her spear with lightening speed and stabbed at the skeletal warrior. Her spear plunged through its rib cage. It had no effect on the creature. Beletrix pulled at the spear, but it was stuck. So she swung the spear over her head. The lodged warrior went with it. Belatrix turned and rammed the spear toward the ground. The warrior hit and shattered to pieces.
A warrior came lunging toward Morpheus. Morpheus let out his powers. He opened his mouth and red flames flew out. It sinched the warriors wings and it fell to the ground, it then got up and ran toward him. Morpheus drew his sword and struck a pose. He waited as the warrior got right up to him, then he swung. The warriors head fell to the ground, and soon after, so did his body accordingly. Morpheus looked to see Aramis watching. Morpheus sent a telepathic message: You carry the powers within you. Just then a winged warrior flew down toward Aramis. Almost an instinct action, Aramis opened his mouth and a blue flame came out. It hit the skeletal warrior and froze him solid. The creature feel to the ground and shattered.
Magnus stood in front of the chosen one, to guard him. Two warriors landed in front of them. Their skeletal eyes lite up a glowing red. Magnus waved his sword challenging them. Even though Aramis was not that good at handling a sword he got his ready. Suddenly from behind a warrior swooped down and dug a claw into Aramis shoulder. Aramis screamed in pain. Belatrix and Morpheus looked just in time to see the creature lift him into the air. It began shaking him cruelly. The pain echoed through Aramis body, he struggled to get aloose. On the ground, Magnus drew a dagger and aimed ever so carefully at the creature.
"Don't do that!" Morpheus shouted.
Magnus threw the dagger, it hurled upward and hit the creature in its skull. The creature screecked and let go of Aramis. Aramis fell downward. Morpheus raced to get under him. Aramis landed on a tree. Gravity then pulled him downward. Aramis hit branch after branch, cuts, brushes and fractured bones all the way. Suddenly there was a twenty foot drop, and Morpheus caught him just before he hit the ground.
Beletrix looked at the remaining skeletal warriors. They seemed to laugh, then flew away.
