Chapter 14: 2 vs 2000 (Part 1)
[POV: Silver Davis]
“How did you get loose?” Beads of sweat formed on the guard’s forehead, eyes wide with horror.
“How did we get loose?” Silver smiled, trying to make it as sinister as possible. “When the mage cuffed me after the latrine break, she used a fake.” That was the only conclusion Silver could reach. Only mages had the chance to change real dampeners with fake ones during their latrine break or eating break. Knowing that it was a fake it was easy to saw through the cuffs using water Colin's was real so he had to wait till he freed Colin.
“There is a rat among the mages,” the guard said, terror still apparent in the guard’s eyes. The two guards probably knew they were going to die. That was probably why they still hadn’t sounded an alarm, trying to figure out a way to survive. Which was very convenient for Silver.
“Let me handle this,” Silver said to Colin. Collin nodded his reply.
“We can make a deal,” the gu

[POV: Silver Davis] First, two vampires dashed towards them, shouting some sort of battle cry. Silver raised his hand, pulling on his grace, commanding it. Both vampires were knocked out flat, coughing blood even before they could touch them. Second, seven vampires attacked them. Arrowhead chains that appeared out of nowhere pierced five of their hearts, knocking them out cold. Silver slashed the air with his hand. A thin line of water blade shot forward, cleaving the two vampires in half. Back at home, Silver remembered doing the same thing to vampires. Vampires were obstinate creatures who refused to die, no matter what. The vampires had to be burned or had their heads cut off to be killed, so they were most likely still alive. Either way, he should not have used a water blade, as it consumed too much grace. He had to be conservative if he wanted to survive this many enemies.

[POV: Silver Davis] Chains whipped around Silver, lashing vampires that got too close to him, carving them in half with grotesque wounds. Silver swiped his hand in rapid succession, sending blades of water that found the heads to hack off. There was a mound of vampires around them, in a ring. The vampires now had to climb over their dead friends to reach them. The vampire seemed more hesitant than before. Of course, they were. How can two children fight off so many vampires at once? Hesitant though they were, they did not stop throwing themselves at Silver and Colin. At first, Silver had thought that they had some chance of survival. Yes, they could do this, they could survive this. They had survived for so long now, and they could survive much-much longer. However, the reality of their situation struck him like a hammer of realisation. The vampires had obviously realised why they were losing. Silver and Colin’s defensive and offensive

[POV: Silver Davis] Vlad shot forward like a human-sized bolt of lightning. Silver sidestepped just in time to avoid the human lightning which screeched past him, skidding across the earth, showering dirt to either side. He heard a growl from Vlad. Lightning was streaking around him in flashes of purple. Silver danced with them, weaving around the bolts, again filled with grace, to the brim. The odd thing was the lightning was behaving like… like the lightning in the sky, arching in the random direction, mostly downwards. These odd, arching attacks made it easier for Silver to dodge them. But how could that be? It was a construct of grace, not real lightning. The other man should have better control over his own constructs. Then Silver saw the sheer number of flashes scratching about. Of course, the sheer number of attacks should make it difficult to control. Why follow such a tactic, though? It would have been better if he used more concise attacks rather th

[POV: Silver Davis] All elementals had an equal amount of grace. No one knew the reason for this, but it was an undeniable truth. This meant that the true strength of each elemental was determined by their talents. Silver, however, was a strange case. He was born with a weak body which affected his ability to pull on grace. Just pulling on a third of his grace exhausted him. However, if he pushed his limit even further, he would pass out for hours. The Windstone helped him somewhat. It didn’t increase his grace pool, no, but it increased his ability to pull on his grace. In fact, with the Windstone, his ability to pull on grace was now as much as the added ability of two elementals. That, of course, meant that his grace would deplete twice the speed of others of his people. But that was no longer his problem. His grace was somehow twice as much as before. He had noticed it a fe

[POV: Colin Smith]Colin pulled on more grace using 20% of his ability. Now his chains made short work of the beast by beheading. The headless bodies of the beasts sprayed blood like erupting volcanos. The three riders crashed to the ground rather unceremoniously. One of them was crushed under the weight of the Pyromuthos that was still twitching. Blood slowly pooled under the bodies of the dying beasts. Without wasting time colin beheaded the two reaming riders. Colin knew that he was in the maw of a beast but, he couldn't help but glance at the three massive heads of those Pyromuthos. Pyromuthos were B-rank beasts, almost an A-rank and they had two blood sacks one behind each ear. That meant a lot of money was sprawled uselessly near Colin and he couldn't help but get greedy. He just wanted to throw the caution to the wind and grab those blood sacks. Colin summoned two of his chains and wrapped them around the ankles of two Vampires who were almost on top of him and began to swing
The First Knight (The Threads of Creation Series #1) Chapter 20: The Fall
[POV: Colin Smith]The pentagram crackling and popping with violet energy spilled black smoke with a tinge of ember-like glow. From the smoke came 10s if not hundreds of burning obsidian chains with arrowheads and attacked everything that was alive within the area of effect. One of the chains went right through the stomach of a vampire. The vampire’s stomach was reduced to ash, and the rest of his body followed like a disease. In a matter of seconds, hundreds of vampires were reduced to dust, and not even the plants and other lifeforms in the areas were spared. Everything alive was reduced to dust by those burning chains. Vampires ran in every direction, trampling their fellow soldiers. Some of them slumped to the ground with dazed eyes and muttering prayers for mercy. Others collapsed with eyes rolled up behind their heads. Colin tried to ignore the shouts and screams of terror as he was committing genocide. Colin constantly pulled a stream of grace from his grace pool and pushed it
The First Knight (The Threads of Creation Series #1) Chapter 21: The Girl
[POV: Silver Davis]Silver tossed and turned. Would someone please stop battering his head with a stick, it was not a drum, it thrummed painfully. Silver knew something about that thought did not sound right but he did not care at the moment.He realized that it was not just his head that was throbbing like a drum. It was his entire body. Oh, Undine! How it hurt. Silver groaned. Silver opened his eyes, well tried to. His stubborn eyes would not listen to him. After an eternity of struggle, he finally managed to open them. Everything was a blur as if he was looking into the world through a hazy mist. As his vision cleared the first thing he saw was a little girl with blonde wavy hair that went down to her hips. On closer inspection, he realized she was no little girl. By her face, she was probably as old as him and taller besides. For some reason knowing there was a girl of his age who was taller than him gnawed him to no end."Finally, thank the gods," the girl said with a relieved si

[POV: Silver Davis]Even as he was writing the description of the herbs and other poultices and more, they exchanged their names. The girl's name was April Young. Silver had the feeling that it wasn't her real name, but he didn't pry.“I still don't think you should go alone,” Silver said.She sniffed. Loudly. And she becomes very interested in her sword. She was caressing the hilt of the sword as if it was her long lost Child. Silver pretended not to notice the threat.In his not too subtle attempt to change the subject he said, “So do you live here alone.” She gave him a sidelong look. With a sigh, She nodded and did not say anything else. There was something there, something in her hesitation. She was definitely running from something or hiding from someone. Perhaps she had run away from home. What was wrong with him? Why would he care if She had run away or murdered someone? It should not matter to him, he should be grateful to her nonetheless. She had saved his life. But it was l
