Kharon Part 33

Kharon Chapter 33

         Simone, Jacob and Luke are dashing through the streets of the village.  They duck into a house as they turn the corner and quickly close the door behind them.  

        “Did we lose them?”, asks Jacob.  A blade that looks like a cross between an axe and rotating saw then pierces through the wooden door of the shop as an answer.

        “Don’t think so”, Simone responds.  She turns and looks around the shop and finds several swords mounted against the wall.  She grabs two of the biggest off the wall and tosses one of them to Luke.  “Open the door.”

        “What?!”, cries Jacob.  

        “Just do what she says dammit!”, bellows Luke.  Jacob complies and opens the door as Sloons storm into the house and go after Simone and Luke.

        Luke and Simone each fend them off as they move almost like they are in a well choreographed ballet.  Simone deflects and does a somersault in the air to avoid a wand blast and as she lands she plunges her sword into a Sloon’s throat.  She then kicks a Sloon charging at her with her leg sending the Sloon stumbling towards Luke who without looking jabs his sword behind him impaling the Sloon before going back to punching and swiping other Sloons.  

        “Your not half bad”, says Simone.

        “It pisses me off saying this but you're impressive as well.”  With that Simone trips a Sloon with her sword and the Sloon stumbles into Luke’s awaiting fist.
