14 Chapter 14 Ray Bow (1/2)

With some rather bad words leaving his mouth, Argen rode up with the horses.They all wasted no time jumping on them and then with the screams of rage behind them, they fled.The horses needed no prompting to gallop as hard as they could, as the angels swarmed the demon behind them.Even Guit's horse paid no mind to him as it raced to keep up with the others.

As they finally slowed, many miles away, the horses were panting with exhaustion.

”I am sorry I lost your sword,” said Grey mournfully as she climbed down from her horse and led it over to a shady patch under some trees.

”It is fine.We shall find another.That fight was beyond us,” said Airow as he led his horse over next to hers.

”I'm surprised we survived!” said Guit shaking his head in amazement.

Argen said nothing as his horse joined theirs.He slid off and lay back on the thick grass with his arms splayed out.

They traveled for several days, heading steadily north.They camped in abandoned homes, eating the food that Guit always managed to find.Each time they went to continue traveling, Guit's horse took great delight in refusing to let him on.Airow had to keep helping.Once Guit was in the saddle, the horse would be ticked and annoyed the rest of the ride.

Only an hour had passed, since starting their ride that morning, when they crested a hill and viewed a small town.It was in the process of being overrun by imps.People were running and screaming, fighting and dying.

”We need to help them!” cried Grey, preparing to charge into the fight.

”But you have no weapon!” shouted Airow, prodding his horse to follow.

”It doesn't matter!I can't sit back and watch these people die!” she cried, urging her horse to run faster.

Guit's horse took off after them, despite his attempts to reign it in.Argen just sighed, from the top of the hill, and followed slowly.

Grey rode right into the path of a group of imps who were chasing a woman, cutting them off and jumping from her horse.She kicked one in the head, sending his scrawny form flying, then punched the next as he charged at her.One tried to jump onto her back, but she ducked, and he ended up flying into an imp that was charging at her.

Airow was shooting his bolts as fast as he could pull back the bow string, hitting an imp with each shot, and leaving waves of black dust in his wake.

Guit jumped off his crazed horse, flicking his hands to extend his claws and jumped onto an imp, slashing at it as he landed, then kicking one, he jumped at another, raking his claws across its face, spinning to shove his claws in one's belly, before stepping to the side, to dodge a punch, then slashed it before turning and running towards the next group.

Airow hit an imp with his bow when it jumped at his horse, then shot the next behind it.Guiding his horse with his knees, he shot three with one bolt, before turning to see a group of five heading towards Grey.Pulling his bow back, he started charging multiple bolts.

Guit jumped at two imps who were charging at Airow, knocking them to the ground, then jumped at another and slashing its back, causing it to arch back before it exploded into black dust.

Airow had five bolts and let them loose, hitting the five as they jumped at Grey, turning to dust as she turned to face them.

Kicking behind her, she killed the imp that was trying to sneak up on her, crushing its head in and blasting it into dust.

As she turned in preparation for the next attack, she was surprised to see a group of people shooting the remaining imps with magical bows that were not angelic in nature.

Guit stood and walked cautiously to her, as Airow rode up.

”Who are they?” Airow asked, sliding his bow onto his back.

”Human resistance,” said Guit softly, panting slightly.

”The heroes are over here!” cried someone, and before any of the three of them could react, they were surrounded by a group of humans.
