Yup. It's a one-shot about Richi. Enjoy.
November 7th.....It was that time of year again. I stared at the horizon as the sun gently climbed up, spilling its rays across the forest Higher and higher it went, until it finally rose to the spot at which everyone sees it at as they climb out of their beds. Sighing, I leaped down from the tree, and landed on the cold ground with a soft thud.
I walked slowly to the forest's edge, mentally creating a shopping list of the items I need from the market, when an arrow zoomed so close to my face, it cut me as it flew past me and embedded itself in the trunk of a tree. Only one of my enemies could shoot with such accuracy and power, and that same being stepped out from his cover in the bushes to face me.
Kastial, a fallen angel bounty hunter.
"After my head again, I see!" I call out in a cocky tone. Kastial simply grinned. "Of course, your head is worth billions in the Fallen realm. You'll be able to provide me a nice afterlife until my sentence is repealed."
Kastial was a tall fallen angel, with a muscular body and short silver hair under a black and dark-grey hat. He always wears a long dark-grey coat on his upper body, and the same color jeans on his lower body, with a silver pendant around his neck and a ripped, red headband around his forehead. His left arm was completely dark grey up to his elbow, and he had a grey bracelet around his right wrist. On his back, where his wings usually were, was nothing but a skeletal copy of what used to be there. In his hands, however, was a long, black archer's bow.
As I looked at his outfit, the only thing I could think of was that he needed more color to his choice of clothes.
My body began to shine brightly, and as Kastial looked away to avoid being blinded, I magically switched to my battle costume, and pulled out both of my daggers, holding them both upside down.
Kastial and I both stared at each other, both of us waiting to the other's attack. Kastial took the first move, quickly loading his bow with a silver arrow, and fired.
I easily dodged the arrow as it streaked over my head harmlessly, and I began running toward him. He abandoned the bow, and in his hands appeared a large, two handed sword, which he swung as I got closer. I deflected the strike with my left dagger, and held the blade there as I struck with my right dagger.
With no choice but to jump back to avoid the blade, Kastial dropped his sword and back-flipped away, summoning a one-handed sword and a shield to continue fighting me with. I glanced at the position of the sun, which was already directly above the land.
Cloaking myself, I quietly ran up to Kastial while he looked around aimlessly, swinging his sword through the air in front of him everywhere like a maniac. I uncloaked right behind him, and took a swipe right in the middle of his back. I cut deep into his skin, and black blood flowed out from the wound as he yelled out in pain. He spun around faster than I anticipated, and swung at my neck. I ducked to avoid decapitation, but failed to see the foot speeding toward my face.
I went flying,and skidded across the ground for several feet before rolling to a stop. Blood flowed out of my nose. The jerk broke it!
"This has gone on for too long." I mutter, pushing myself off the ground. As if he could hear me, Kastial yelled " I agree. It's time to collect my bounty!" And ran toward me, licking his lips in anticipation.
No time for the stronger ones, I thought, and I placed my hands flat on the ground. My left eye went dark, and in my mind I searched for the being I needed. "I summon thee,my faith banshee!" I yelled, Kastial still running towards me. A black portal opened up in the ground, and a banshee, smaller than the one I had summoned in the alley that one night, floated up from the Underworld.
Standing up, I pulled my daggers out once more and commanded the banshee to begin wailing. With a horrifying screech, the banshee's voice rang out through the forest, and Kasitial collapsed, desperately trying to block the wailing. "Stop!" he yelled, barely audible as the banshee continued. I ran to him, with the intent of sending him to the Underworld. Before I could get near him, he stood up, his hands still pressed against his ears, and he faded.
Sending the banshee back, I quickly checked the time once more, and saw the sun dipping past the horizon once more. I dashed to the market, glowing brightly as I switched clothing once more, and barely made it to the cashier with my items.
=================
I leaned against the tree, my stomach filled with the curry I had just made. I gazed up at the sky once more, feeling content that I had kept the promise we had made to each other the day before I left Heaven. I pulled the necklace out from my jacket, and opened it to look at the picture of her once more.
"Elizabetta," I said to myself with a slight Italian accent, "did you remember too?"
I gazed at the moon once more, until I drifted into my dreams.
First one-shot I've written and posted here, so I wanna know your thoughts.
