Gilbert Chapter 7
"Gilbert vs. Sydonia"


Gilbert and Forthoro walked up the dusty path, surrounded by nothing but trees and brush. The sound of birds singing and rushing water was all that the ear could hear. The ground was a little muddy and created a nice, brown ring around your boots. Any attempt to clean your boots of this mess was futile. But that's the last of their problems.

As they walked deeper and deeper into the forest, they noticed various statues or shrines that seemed to be scattered around the area.

"Um, Gilbert. Maybe we should check those things out. They seem to be showing up rather rapeditly." Forthoro cautiously said.

"Why? We're going up the mountain, we should stay going up the mountain." Gilberts response seemed rather harsh to Forthoro. She thought to herself, Why is he so cold? I mean seriously, who does he think he is? Talking to me like that! I ought to slap him across the face!

As they trudged on, night fell upon them. They both agreed to set up camp here. Once they were done putting up a tent, Gilbert went out to gather firewood for a fire. When alone, Gilbert had time to think to himself, This is bull. This whole monster thing probably isn't even true anyways. And for the small amount of money I'm getting for this, I might as well go back to Zexen. But...there's something about this woman, something that just seems to send chills down my spine... But Gilberts concentration is broken by the sound of fighting. Gilbert whipped out his sword and stared, waiting for someone, or something, to come at him.

After a few seconds of waiting, Sydonia and Krin came flying through the air, punching and kicking eachother. Until they both ran into a tree. "You two clowns!?! AAAGGGHH! I'm so sick of you guys!!!" Gilbert yelled as he ran towards the now broken tree. Krin was the first to notice the charging killer, and jumped high into the air, causing himself to get caught on a branch. This left a one on one battle between Sydonia and Gilbert.

All was quiet as a slight breeze blew through, just strong enough to rustle each fighters hair. "Heh...well? What are you going to do with that stick you've got there? Just point it at me and threaten? Or are you gonna use it!!!" Sydonia said. As he finished his sentence, he leaped at Gilbert with both feet first, drop-kicking Gilbert to the ground.

Gilbert got up in a flurry, and chucked his sword right at Sydonia's head. Sydonia chuckled, and teleported out of the way so the sword went straight through the tree behind him. Sydonia re-appeared infront of Gilbert and punched him in the face.

All of the sudden, a loud crack was heard. Then a, "AAAAAAHHHHH!". And before Gilbert or Sydonia could respond, Krin fell right on top of Sydonia, crushing him. "Hee hee, ouch." said Krin as he got up.

Gilbert didn't know what to do. Should he beat this maggot to a bloody pulp? Or should he thank him for the help? Being in a particularly bad mood, Gilbert punched Krin in the face and sent him flying across the mountain.

Gilbert picked up a log, and walked back to his camp. Choosing to just go to sleep and not worry about the fact that he just lost.
