Sabishi gulped as she faced the gargantuan monster. She felt fear seep through her veins as she drew her katana. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. The moment she shut her eyes was her folly. In that exact second, the beast rammed its fist into her.
She heard horrified screams and hollered curses from the company as blood stained her clothing and sword. Her blood.
"H-help me....." She gasped as she staggered upright, blood trickling from her mouth. Her left arm felt icy cold as she backed away from the golem. "I-its strong...." Then she saw the second blow, the one that would render her helpless. A brown stone blur speeding towards her. She had barely time to draw a breath before it hit her.
"Thats not fair!" Shelby cried out, watching as more blood stained the ground. Even if she wanted to help, one attack would be fraud and Shiro, Sain and Sabishi would all die. Helpless tears streamed down her face.
Sabishi slid to the ground, watching through a haze as the hideous beast neared its face to hers. But then she saw it. Her only hope. She recalled faintly her teacher's words. Power jewels grant inanimate objects life.....such as rocks.... A pinkish jewel, large and beautiful in the dimming light.
With the last of her strength, she raised her blade, pulling out the crystal.
A last, longing cry faded into the sunset as the rock golem shattered. Black blood spurted from the gem as it shattered.
"Thats it then...." She murmured, before passing out.
To be continued....
