Pesmerga Chapter 8
"The Truth Revealed"


"DIIIE!!!" Pesmerga ran forward, spinning his sword in a wide arc as he readied himself to bring it down on Yuber's skull. Both men's helmets had been shredded to peices during their long battle, and their armor wasn't in very good shape either. Their swords clashed yet again, for the umpteeth time scince the battle started, and dug long grooves into the sharp edges of the blades. Coated in blood and sweat, both men screamed and clashed again, sending sparks and blades of grass flying as their bodies and blades slammed together in an unholy symphony of clanging and screaming. "Damn you!", screamed Yuber, his long blonde hair matted to his face from the exertion, "Why won't you die!" Pesmerga slashed at air, trying to cut open Yuber's windpipe, "If I die i'll drag you to hell with me Yuber!!" Yuber spun around, a feral snarl on his lips, and busted Pesmerga's lips open with a backhand from the hilt of his sword. Reeling, Pesmerga spat blood from his mouth, and charged forward, slamming his fist into a section of Yuber's armor that was sliced open, knocking the wind out of him. Swinging his sword up, Pesmerga brought it down quickly, taking off a few locks of hair as Yuber rolled out of the way. The two men stood, panting, and faced each other yet again.

Yuber was getting concerned, Pesmerga was showing far more stamina than he should have. Perhaps he had chosen the wrong diguise... it had only served to anger Pesmerga and give him even more reason to fight hard. Yuber had to think fast...he had to come up with a way too.....AHA! That was it! What better way to win than to take away Pesmerga's will to fight! Grinning from ear to ear, Yuber buried Deathglaive in the ground, half the blade embedded in earth, and brushed the bangs fromm his cold, lifeless eyes. Yuber had the bastard now...oh yes..he had him right where he wanted him.

Pesmerga was puzzled...why was Yuber dropping his sword? Ws he giving up? No, Yuber wouldn't give up so easy...it had to be some sort of trick. If only he knew what Yuber was up to. "So...Yuber...ready to give up are we? I'm surprised," Pesmerga smiled, tightening his grip around King Crimson, "I figured you'd give me a better workout than this.." Yuber just stared, then he started to laugh..that same cold, vile laughter that haunted Pesmerga's dreams every night. "No No No....you have me wrong Pesmerga," Yuber's smile grew ever wider, " I simply have something to tell you before I kill you.." Pesmerga arched one eyebrow, what the hell was Yuber pulling!? "Shut up! What could YOU possibly have to tell ME bastard!?" Pesmerga's nostrils flared, as his obvious rage toward Yuber was stoked to even greater heights of intensity. "Just," Yuber began, as he strolled around Pesmerga in a wide circle, grin stil on his face," that your sister didn't drown on accident Pesmerga....she commited suicide."

"THE HELL!?" Pesmerga's eyes bulged..No way! This wasn't possible... no..he'd seen her die with his own eyes, and Yuber hadn't even been there!!! "Your lying Yuber..," Pesmerga's rage was beyong control, as bile bubbled up in his scorchingly hot throat, "YOU LIE BASTARD!!! YOU LIE!!!" Pesmerga swung King Crimson upwards, ready to deliver the mortal blow, but Yuber just took a step back and smiled even wider. "HA! I do not lie Pesmerga...because I'M the reason she killed herself!" "What!?" Pesmerga was practically in shock now, what was Yuber talking about!? "What are you saying Yuber! Explain now or i'll kill you on the spot!"

"Fine Pesmerga," Yuber's grin faded slightly,as he took a few steps forward, "I'll tell you... remember when you went on that trip for High Preist Rusenald? Well...your father and you were away on the trip..and your mom was gone to visit friends in town a few miles away.. soo..," Yuber began to chuckle to himself, and Pesmerga started to grow more and more curious..and disturbed.. by what Yuber was be talking about,"I decided to have some fun with your sister...heh..she resisted enough..but it was pretty nice. She shure does have soft skin. Unfortunately, she just couldn't bring herself to tell your parents..and she shure couldn't live with the shame, so she decided to drown herself....too bad she lost her nerve at the last minute and only died because she fell in, eh Pesmerga?" Yuber suddenly broke into a fit of vile laughter, oblivious to the grave error he had just made.

Bastard....that one word kept echoing through Pesmerga's mind..through his soul. That bastard had hurt his sister!! Pesmerga's rage was beyond human limits..it was no longer controllable, the Rage Rune on his sword blazed a hellish red hue, his whole body shook and heaved, his sword's hilt began to splinter from how hard he gripped it in his fury. "You.....you...," Pesmerga was so enraged he could barely get out the words, "YOU HURT MY SISTER YOU ROTTEN SON OF A BITCH!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!! I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KILL YOU!" Pesmerga ran forward screaming, Yuber's ploy having the exact opposite effect of that he was aiming for, and tackled him, sending them both to the ground in a cloud of dust and grass , with Pesmerga still screaming curses. Shocked, Yuber grasped his sword, which had been uprooted in the struggle and landed nearby, and ran it through Pesmerga's left shoulder. Screaming in agony, Pesmerga blocked out the pain, and brought his sword down, slicing open a large gash in Yuber's chest and stomach, spraying blood all over the both of them. Yuber managed to kick Pesmerga off , and both of them collapsed on the ground in a bloody heap.

" You....y...o.u....b..a...b.a.ss..tard...,"Yuber coughed up blood, enraged that his ploy had not worked, "I...i..wont...le..t...you....winn....uggghh.." Yuber fell to one knee, severely weakend by blood loss, and began to summon his Illusion Rune. A dark dome enveloped both men, and just as Pesmerga climbed to his feet, and ripped Deathglaive out of his shoulder with a cry of agony, both men were flung upwards as the dome on energy exploded into a billion shards of dark light. Screaming as he was flung skywards, the last thing Pesmerga saw before he blacked out, was Yuber's face, distorted by the Runes' magic, laughing maniacly as a sea of blood and darklight enveloped both men.

Mlies away...Pesmerga landed with a very loud crash in a wooded area, near a small lake, forming a large crater as he slammed into the earth. This would be the beginning of Pesmerga's true journey.
