Second Chance as an Elf

Ch 11: Together, we take it out

Ethons has conjured up a fire upon his free hand ready to be used and burned whatever it touches.

The skeleton archers fire their arrows at him and they miss their target given it was going to stay in place to take it.

Rolling to the side for a second then focusing to cast the fire sending to burn these undead bones to ash as they crumble to the ground.

"Well, I am getting better and better at controlling the flames."

Ethons kept on with the fight with the skeletons and Collin did the same also using fire as well to burn down a few of these guys.

The fight seems to be close to their victory as there not many of the undead skeletons remained around much longer as their number has decreased greatly.

Yet something appears on the fighting battlefield and it swings at Ethons sending him flying past Collin who was surprised to see him rolling around for a bit until stopping.

The man looked back to see what could have done that and he couldn't believe his own eyes.

There is an undead skeleton bigger than the others covered with some part of the body armor. 

A few spears could be seen sticking into the bony body and the weapon it was holding in hand was a hammer covered with dire blood from any poor soul having their skull caved in.

Collin went to Ethons side, giving aid for him to stand back up slowly.

"Hey, are you alright there Ethons."

"I am fine….. just a little hurt at the moment after getting hit by that thing."

"Seems we have come to be facing a more challenging skeleton who isn't going to be easy to fight."

The big skeleton let out a somewhat roar charging forward at the two of them.

It cares not for the others slamming into them while running.

Once reaching a close distance this big skeleton pulls back the hammer in its hands to bring the weapon downward for a smash.

Collin pushes Ethons out the way and he does the same right as the hammer smash the ground creating a big crack.

The big skeleton picked up its hammer off the ground and swung it to the side that was close to hitting Collin.

Luckily he was quick to act using his sword to meet the hammer.

Save from the impact, but was still pushed into taking a few steps back feeling the body vibrating from the clash.

"Alright, then the big guy looks like fire going to take you out."

Collin summons his flames and fires them at the big skeleton.

This undead had some intelligence to know that fire is bad if they came in contact.

So it made a quick move and dodge the fire coming.

Not for long as there was another who can use fire where Ethons shoot a fireball at the big skeleton hitting straight into the face.

This thing received burns and pieces here and there of armor fell off but was standing strong to keep on fighting with an angry aim at the elf it stared at.

"Alright, look like I just pissed you off buddy, would you apologize for you."

It let out a roar coming after him madly swinging the hammer non-stop.

Ethons move as fast as there is to dodge each incoming hammer hit.

The problem in this situation going on here is out of the two of them one can keep on going with no concerns for energy used all up given to being no longer a living thing.

There was no way Ethons could keep it up this way, so he took an opening that showed itself reaching for one of those spears inside the body.

Grabbing tightly removing it fast using that same spear to slap against this big skeleton's face knocking the helmet off to the ground.

Ethons looked to see that not only was that done, but also its head was turned backward.

No problem for this thing to fix it head back into place.

"Shit look I am sure we could…"

Before being able to speak further Ethons was picked up by being grabbed on the face and brought up into the air.

The big skeleton holds him there for about a few seconds to go until being thrown to the ground.

It was clear that next to happen was the hammer coming down upon him to crush the bones in his body.

Collin rushes over to kick the back of the big skeleton making the thing fall over and Ethons roll over at the same time.

"This got to end it now you know what we must do to kill this undead."

"Let me guess fire-breathing Collin."

"Yeah let's burn it together."

Both stand side by side with each other at the same time taking a deep breath and then releasing flames of fire out of their mouths at the big skeleton.

The whole body gets completely consumed by the flames going through it and burning the thing right on the spot.

Ethons and Collin watch the bones turn black and soon to ashes that remain on the ground.

After the show was over these two then took care of the leftover skeletons hanging around.

When done with that it was just them alone.

"We did well-taking care of this. There is no doubt these undead skeletons would have caused trouble for innocent people who could be living near here."

"Good thing we were the ones to run into these guys first."

Ethon takes the moment to reach down and pick up a skull staring at it.

10 years have gone by in a fast way given how well Ethons has grown along the passing Years.

Together with the Dragonling Collin who has been by his side since taking him away from his home to save him from death.

The man was the one to touch and help Ethons as he was a cursed Dragonborn carrying the soul of a dragon inside him.

Even living this life now he never forgot about his old one. How can Ethons have memories that couldn't be let go?

There was also a question that came to him at certain moments. That being if he was able to be reborn again then the one he loves may as well have been too.

Yet how could Ethons find out that impossible answer? He couldn't ask Collin, not sure that guy can respond to such a question.

"Collin was there anything controlling these undead skeletons."

"That is a good question from what I can tell. There was no necromancer around commending them or something wicked reviving this undead. I guess that they came back on their own."

"Came back on their own how could that be."
