Me, Tara, and Genevieve were standing on top of the walls as the next group of bandits were rushing towards Felicia.
"Here they come!" I said.
Tara raised her bow. "I'm ready for them."
"Let the action begin!" Genevieve responded as she readied her spear.
I leaped onto the steps that were barely attached to the other part of the walls, and then the bandits started entering Felicia through a gap between the walls where a gate was supposed to be. Tara began firing arrows at the bandits, and then all hell broke loose.
I leaped off of the walls and rushed towards a female bandit who was holding a mace. I was slashing her up with my sword, and Genevieve was piercing the woman with her spear as archers were firing arrows at us. I landed a final strike on the women's neck and put an end to her life.
"Where's Tara?" I asked Genevieve.
"She's dealing with bandits outside of the walls," Genevieve replied.
A male bandit with a mace snuck up behind me and began to attack me as the archers continued firing their arrows at me and Genevieve.
I turned towards the bandit. "Genevieve, you go help Tara deal with the bandits on the outside of the walls. I'll deal with this bastard."
"Alright," Genevieve shouted.
The bandit tried to hit me with his mace, but I blocked his attack with my shield and retaliated with a few strikes with my blade. I then landed a couple of more strikes on the bandit. The bastard dropped to the ground dead.
I kicked the dead bandit's body. "And stay dead!"
I made my way outside of the walls to help Tara and Genevieve with the bandits that were out there.
"Alright ladies, let's take them out," I yelled.
"You're a little late to the show, Ricky!" Tara shouted as she was skirmishing with a bandit.
I laughed. "I had to take care of business inside of the walls."
"Welcome to the party, Richard!" Genevieve shouted as she jabbed her spear into the arm of a bandit.
"I'm happy I could join!" I yelled to Genevieve.
While Tara was dealing with a bandit holding a stone blade, I went to join Genevieve in combat with a bandit that was attacking with a large hammer. The bandit smashed Genevieve with his hammer.
"Ouch!" Genevieve shouted. "That fucking hurt."
"Are you alright, Genevieve?" I asked.
"I'm pissed off," she replied. "Let's kill this asshole."
Genevieve pierced the bandit with her spear, and I landed a few strikes on him with my blade and put an end to his life.
"That was some nice teamwork," I said to Genevieve.
Genevieve gave me a light jab on the shoulder, "You betcha!"
Genevieve rushed back inside the castle walls to deal with the bandits that were in there, and I went to help Tara finish off the bandit that was attacking her with a stone blade. Tara struck him with her blade, and I landed a couple of strikes on him with my blade putting an end to his life.
"Nice hit, Ricky," Tara said. "You got him right in the back."
I gave Tara a kiss. "Nobody messes with my babe."
Tara smiled and gave me a hug.
Me and Tara rushed back inside the castle walls to help Genevieve. There were a couple of bandits attacking the castle, and there were a few archers firing arrows at us.
"Let's take out those archers," I yelled to Tara.
"Sounds like a plan," Tara shouted.
Me and Tara went to attack the archers. As we were attacking the archers, one of the bandits that were attacking the castle came running at us.
"Watch out, Tara," I yelled. "A crazy topless woman with a stone blade is rushing towards us."
"I see her," Tara shouted.
As Tara was fighting the other archers, I continued the fight with the bandit I targeted, and another bandit emerged and hit me a few times with his mace which caused some serious wounds.
"You're gonna pay for that," I yelled to the bandit.
I decided to make a run for it to get the bandit with the mace to follow me. He chased me across the field, and then I quickly rushed back towards the archer that I initially targeted and landed a fatal strike on him.
As Tara and Genevieve were dealing with the other bandits, I went into a skirmish with the bandit who wounded me with his mace. He hit me a few more times with his mace, and I retaliated with several strikes. The bastard dropped to the ground dead.
"I told you that you were gonna pay," I said to the dead bandit.
I then went to help Genevieve with a bandit by the damaged stairs. We quickly put an end to his life and went to help Tara with the remaining bandits.
"This is exciting!" Genevieve yelled.
"Isn't it though," Tara shouted. "We sure didn't have this kind of excitement back in the Willow Creek years."
"Yeah, just try to be careful and stay safe, ladies," I yelled.
Tara and Genevieve laughed.
A female bandit with a large sword came rushing towards me. She landed a couple of strikes on me. Genevieve pierced her through the back a couple of times with her spear, and then I went into a frenzy and finished her off with a few solid strikes from my blade.
"Another one down," I said to Genevieve.
"That was a nice combo of strikes," Genevieve replied.
"Thanks," I said. "The sword has always been my favorite weapon in history."
As Tara was firing her arrows at the last bandit, I rushed towards the scum and landed a few strikes putting an end to the savage's life.
"Alright, that was the last of them," I said. " For now anyways."
"We better take a little rest before the next group attacks," Tara replied.
Genevieve wiped the blood off of her spear with a dead bandit's shirt. "You two go relax for a bit. I'll keep a watch out."
Well, that was one hell of a battle. I am glad that me, Tara, and Genevieve are all still alive after all of this. However, we are not out of the danger zone just yet. There is still a couple of more groups of bandits left according to what Genevieve said. Let us just hope that we all continue to survive through these remaining attacks that are to come.
Me and Tara are lying on the bed relaxing together. We are talking about some of the memories that we have experienced together. I am starting to feel a little dizzy. I feel like I am about to faint. It is getting dark...
I am drifting through space and time. I feel this horrible darkness and presence surrounding me...
I am in this very dark place. I see a figure in the darkness. It is a woman with dark hair, dark horns, and dark wings. She is looking at me. I think she can see me...
"That's right, I can see you!" The woman laughs.
The woman in the darkness with dark hair, dark horns, and dark wings is making me drift towards her. It is getting hot. I feel like I am burning. The woman is laughing. I am drifting closer to her. I am feeling very afraid...
"The bandits are nearing Felicia," Genevieve says.
"Perfect timing to wake up, Ricky," Tara says to me.
"Damn, this is happening way too often. I had a very dark experience this time. I'll share the details about my recent experiences with both of you once we finish off the remaining groups of bandits," I tell Tara and Genevieve.
