Char Resurrected, Char Steel [christmas read aloud txt] 📗

who I am."

I sighed and trudged back up the mountainside and finally reached the top with the others. I groaned and stretched my muscles. I swear she called us down there just so that she could watch us trudge back up. I bet she's laughing about it right now.

We got back on our horses and readied our-self's for the king to tell us to charge. But he never did so I looked over and saw a arrow embedded in his chest. I gaped and followed the arrow's direction back to a smiling queen holding the bow.

I looked back towards him as he reached forward and clasped my hand.

" Char you are a queen now. Queen of my people. You lead these people into battle and kill that queen you hear me?" I nodded too devastated to do anything else.

He grasped for the sword at his side that Merny had made that morn and pressed it into my hand. He closed my hand over the handle. " Kill her and save my people." He whispered before his arm went slack and fell. His eyes glazed over and he dropped from his horse. The soldiers murmured but did not break rank. I rode my horse to the front and faced them and the magic horn that would speak to every army.

" Today we gather here to save our family's and our land. I know we lost a King today but we must lose a queen also for us to be safe. Today everything depends on you. And as we charge forward to meet this threat and end it for once and for all I remind you. Give it your best."

I nodded and met their eyes as I drew my blade before turning around and facing the queen. We met our eyes and held them for a minute. A time that seemed to stretch onto infinity. I then saw the spark in her eyes swirling around and knew it was time.

" Charge!!" I yelled and charged my blade forward as we rushed forward to meet the millions of Wraiths screeching. We thundered down the battlefield and clashed swords. Axe meeting heads and arrows raining down from both sides.

I ducked a huge axe and managed to repel a sword blow before a wraith screamed and latched onto me draining my life force. Oh my god I thought. First wraith and your already dead. But when nothing happened for a few seconds I twisted from her grasp and rammed my blade into her chest.

She screamed with confusion lacing her eyes and threw her hands up before bursting into ash. I didn't have time to ponder how I was not dead as another wraith threw herself at me with the same results.

Soon the wraiths quickly figured out that they couldn't do anything so they came at me in full force. I was forced to dodge and weave through screams and swords. I weaved ice magic and killed of a dozen of them as my eyes turned blue from the magic. Finally they told their queen and I saw her striding across the field to meet me.

I slashed and cut wraiths as I waited for her to reach me but she continued walking. What? Where was she going? I followed her gaze and saw Lodz fighting of dozen of wraiths. Oh shit it looked like she was making good on her promise.

I cut and slashed as I tried to run over to him but the wraiths barely gave me time. I would barely manage a few feet at a time. I winced as Lodz barely avoided a fireball from her. He slashed her with his claws and opened his mouth blowing a special magic that was a ice tornado but took strength out of him. The ice tornado reached her then missed as she dodged to the side. I was only a few feet away as I gasped seeing Lodz hit the ground and attempt to get up but failing.

He looked at me and mouthed I love you right before she plunged her ice blade into his heart. I stopped and screamed internally as my mouth stopped working. Blades clashed and fire burned and licked my hair but it passed right over me. I didn't notice anything in that space of time as I stared at Lodz glazed over eyes and knew he was lost. I raised my gaze to the Dark Queen with the light that was once so bright in my eyes completely lost.

She looked at me and snickered until she met my gaze. Fear crossed her face and she stumbled back as she fully realized what she had done. Today she was going to die. I opened my mouth and screamed. The scream whipped through the air and blasted out a shock-wave. It was a sadness filled scream that everyone within earshot over miles of land that had been fighting could hear.

Then the scream stopped. And every wraith bursted into ash but not a person from the kingdoms were harmed. Everyone turned and looked at me including my friends in amazement. The queen looked around in fear at the battlefield devoid of wraiths then back at me as I stood up and drew my sword. My ice cold gaze burned through her soul as she knew there was no escape. She turned and lifted her hands pulsing and flinging every kind of magic that she had at me but not a single one touched me.

She fell back but I continued froward until she tripped over one of the dead. I stopped in front of her and raised my sword.

" Please." She whispered. A final plea for help.

The sword plunged into her chest and into her heart before coming out the back as she dropped to her knees . Her eyes staring in disbelief before glazing over. Her heat stopped beating and her blood stopped pumping. I let go of the sword and stepped back as the sword turned to stone. It started from the handle and spread down the blade until it reached her chest. Spreading out from there until it covered her whole body and when it was done she crumbled into dust with the sword.

I stared for a moment and finally looked up as the cheering started and the news spread.

" The queen is dead! The queen is dead!" They shouted to each other. I looked up at the nodding faces of my friend's as they understood the pain that I was going through but they also knew the queen had to die.

Their gazes turned to horror as they stared at my chest. I looked down and saw the blade poking through as blood ran down my shirt soaking it red. Someone had stabbed me in the back I realized before I toppled over next to Lodz.

I laid there my cheek on the grassy field as I looked at Lodz eyes and reached forward stroking his blood matted fur. I was not hurting but I knew I was slowly slipping away. I closed my eyes and laid still as I heard my friend's talking and trying to revive me with magic. I even heard and felt the other kings and queens trying to revive me but failing. I slowly spiraled down down down until their voices faded away and I drifted into nothingness.

Why Am I Alive? - Part 3

 

Voices drifted through the thick blanket of darkness that covered me. They would fade in and out but I didn't know who they were as they were unfamiliar.

Often it would feel like the fog was breaking and words of encouragement would reach me then fade away. I finally managed to catch some of the words.

" Your doing great honey. I just wish you would wake up." The female voice said sounding like she was crying but desperately trying for it not to show.

Then another voice. " Mom needs you sis and I need you. I don't care that your hair turned silver or that your eyes are grey. I just want you to come back to us."

This girl was most definitely crying and not holding back as I felt her holding my hand. I managed to make myself think despite the fog. What the hell was she talking about? I didn't have a sister or grey eyes. And what was she going on about my silver hair?

All these things I thought but the fog and darkness dragged me down farther until I heard no more. Until sometime later I heard clear concise voices breaking through again.

" You think that she's going to wake up mom?"

" Possibly yes the doctor said that her heart rate is increasing. And she might even wake up today."

I wondered what they were talking about. But one thing for certain was that I was in a deep sleep. However I wondered how I did not die as I had felt myself go through the underworld and then nothingness.

But if they said that I was in a deep sleep then I would wake up. I cleared my mind and reached for the darkness pushing it away. It resisted trying to hold me in but I broke it and it faded away as nothing remained.

I opened my eyes and instantly snapped them shut as blinding light penetrated my eyelids and blind me. I waited before slowly opening them again and squinted through them at the two blurry figures.

I heard them holding their breath as they waited for me to fully open my eyes. I slowly opened them the rest of the way and waited until I was adjusted to the light before everything came into sharp focus.

A blond haired girl in her teens with sky blue eyes who reminded me of Ronan was smiling at me with her hands clasped in front of her. She was wearing a was that a pink top? that I think looked too low on her. Tight light blue pants wait what? Hmm she must be a warrior if she is wearing pants since other regular girls wear dresses.

I looked to the other figure a woman in her thirty's with the same blond hair but with warm brown eyes. She however had on a decent black top and a white fur jacket with loose black pants. Which meant that she must also be a warrior.

I looked to the older authority figure. " Where's Merny?"

She drew her eyebrows together with a puzzled expression. " Who Merny? He not the guy who hit your car is he?"

I looked at her confused. " Merny's my best friend."

The other girl put her hand on her mouth and gasped. " Mom she must be a little delusional after all she was hit pretty hard."

I glared at her. " I'm not delusional girl."

"Girl? I'm your sister." She said almost in tears.

" No your not. I don't have any sisters." I said and sat up as I felt the thing sticking in my arm which I assumed was making me woozy.

" What is that in my arm?" I asked the older woman.

" It's morphine honey. You really shouldn't take it out." She added the last part as I ripped out the needle with the tubes attached to the end and threw it over the
