Blind Swordsman

Ch: 2 Requiem of the Wind

“Can I ask a question?” Kai asked.

“What do you want to know?” Celestia asked.

“Why did you sound like you knew me just a few minutes ago?” Kai asked as he sat down.

“It was nothing.” Celestia said in a calm tone. “Now, why did you bring this dark magic to Equestria?” She asked with a now serious tone.

“So they followed after they sent me through.” Kai said under his breath.

“That we did.” Kravic said appearing near the throne.

“Kravic!” Kai shouted shocked by his appearance. “Why are you here?” He asked.

“I just came by to see my old friend and student.” Kravic began. “Is that so bad?”

“Coming here was a bad idea Kravic!”Kai shouted as he drew both his swords and running towards Kravic.

“Honestly you could never beat me before so what makes this day different?” Kravic said in a taunting voice. “You’re still weak!”

Kai’s blades collided with Kravic’s sword with as much force as he could muster. Kravic held the swords in place not even flinching from the attack and began to smirk.

“Is this all the blind swordsman can do that’s just sad.” Kravic said with a scowl. “I thought I trained you better!” He shouted pushing Kai back with one slash.

“Such power” Kai thought as he flew back slamming into a wall. “I can’t let my guard down.” Kai said coughing up blood as he pulled himself free of the wall.

“At least you didn’t die from that!” Kravic shouted with with a manic laughter. “Now show me what you can really do!”

Kai lowered his breathing and pushed his magic sight to its limit. He ran towards Kravic with the intent to kill, as he got closer Kravic flared his dark magic forcing Kai to look away.

“Too much!” Kai shouted closing his eyes for a second.

“Got you.” Kravic whispered into Kai’s ear just before punching him into the air. “Never hesitate to attack.” Kravic said appearing next to Kai in the air.

“Get away!” Kai roared slashing at Kravic’s sword leaving no damage. “I’ll kill you!” He shouted with a sad look in his eyes.

“You never were one to kill Kai so don’t lie to me.” Kravic said grabbing Kai’s head and throwing him towards the ground. “You’ll always be weak unless you keep the intent to kill in your mind.” Kravic explained landing near Kai’s body.

“I always was a stubborn one.” Kai said with a cough. “I will never kill unless I need to.” He added slowly standing up again.

“You always were a soft one when it came to killing.” Kravic said back handing Kai back to the ground. “Just stay down and it’ll be over quickly.” He added with a furious tone.

Kai laid on the ground his body severely bruised and sore. He watched as Kravic walked towards the ponies his blade gleaming in the light shining from the windows.

“I’m pathetic” Kai thought to himself. “I must get up!” He shouted at himself.

“Are you the ruler of this land?” Kravic asked pointing his sword at Celestia.

“I am and if I heard correctly your name is Kravic.” Celestia said in a regal tone showing no fear.

“That is my name and I recommend you bow to me or I’ll kill you where you stand!” Kravic roared lowering his sword allowing it to slam against the marble floor of the throne room.

“I will not bow to you!” Celestia shouted charging her magic into her horn.

“Get up!” Kai shouted at himself again. “I need to get up!” He roared in his mind slamming a fist against the marble floor.

“Wrong move pony!” Kravic roared raising his blade to strike Celestia down.

As Kravic swung, his blade down he felt a breeze fly past him and then felt something stop his attack.

“What the hell!” Kravic roared irritated. “How are you able to stand?”

Kai didn’t respond to Kravic’s question only pushed Kravic back with anger in his eyes.

“Not talking eh!” Kravic shouted trying to swing his sword but was countered before he could finish the attack.
Runes began to glow brightly through Kai’s jacket tracing his entire upper body with an ominous light green glow.

“I’ve never seen these before.” Kravic said to himself.

Kai began an onslaught of attacks each forcing Kravic back with each impact.

“Princess what’s happening to him?” Twilight asked.

“I don’t know?” Celestia said in response as she watched the battle.

“Get away!” Kravic shouted charging his dark magic into his left hand. “Die!” He roared slamming his fist into Kai’s chest throwing him out a stained glass window.

Kravic turned towards Celestia and glared at her.

“I’ll be back to take that throne until then enjoy your last month of freedom.” Kravic said warping away.

“I think he gave us a month because he got injured.” Celestia said flying out of the broken stained glass window to find Kai.

Kai groaned slowly pushing himself up as the runes on his body fade and stopped glowing leaving no signs that they existed.

“Are you ok?” Celestia asked landing near Kai watching him get up slowly.

“I had my ass kicked by my old master he taught me all I know about sword fighting.” Kai said sheathing his swords. “Also how did I get outdoors?” He asked sitting down slowly.

“You don’t remember?” Celestia asked surprised by Kai’s question.

“All I remember is being on the ground telling myself to get back up.” Kai said laying back and closing his eyes. “One, Two, three, four, five ribs are broken.” Kai said tenderly touching his chest.

“Do you want medical attention?” Celestia asked.

“I’ll be fine this is nothing compared to my past battles.” Kai said as he slowly drifted to sleep. “I just need to rest for a bit I’m really tired.”

“Wouldn’t you rather sleep inside?” Celestia asked.

All Celestia heard after that was Kai’s faint snoring and just left him not wanting to risk harming him while trying to move him.

“Princess do we just leave him there?” a guard asked looking towards Kai.

“Just leave him be we don’t want to harm him by moving him somewhere else.” Celestia said walking towards the throne room.

-Griffin Kingdom, unknown cave-

Kravic appeared in the cave and blood dripped from his side as his hand covered the injury.

“Master Kravic you’re hurt!” a mage shouted running towards Kravic.

“I underestimated him.” Kravic said walking slowly to the back of the cave. “Bring me Alice I need her to heal me.”

“Didn’t you put a healing rune on yourself?” the mage asked.

“That fool managed to break it!” Kravic roared his wound opening up wider with his movement. “Alice get out here!” he shouted.

“What do you need master Kravic?” a young girl with long brunette hair and azure colored eyes asked.

“Heal me.” Kravic said bluntly moving his hand from his side.

Alice kneeled next to Kravic and placed her hands over his wound and began to mumble in an ancient language. As her hands began to glow, Kravic’s wound slowly began to heal.

“I don’t remember him ever hitting me.” Kravic said then his eyes went wide. “It happened when he dashed past me!” He shouted remembering the breeze that went by him.

“He must have used magic with an attack to break a healing rune.” Alice said in a monotone voice. “Do you think he’ll be a problem for us later?” She asked.

“Maybe let’s just keep an eye on him for now and if he does interfere with our plans kill him.” Kravic said as he broke into a fit of manic laughter.
