Chapter 12 A Chilling Power Ice
*POV Ice*
I stepped out of the portal and quickly found myself standing at the edge of a mountain drop off, I jumped back quickly to avoid slipping because that drop off was a good 10 story drop to rocks, after looking at the cliff for a little while i decided to actually look at where I was, I looked to see mostly white and found out that it was snow and of course I would be here of all places, I then realized that I might not have my equipment on me, I reached over my shoulder and sighed in relief that I still had my hook swords and other equipment
I slowly stood up and looked around to see mostly rock and snow but at least I was still wearing my winter camo pants and shirt that kept my body heat in but that won't last long so I better find some shelter, I walked along the ridge till something collided with the cliff and it shook, I immediately grabbed onto a low branch and the cliff gave way and went toppling down the mountain and smashed down lower
I was hanging for a few minutes but pulled myself up onto the branch to sit, I got settled but my body started to shake from the cold which means I need to find a place to settle till I can get back out, "wait want am I supposed to do Sombra never told me what we needed to do to pass our test and yet he puts me on top of a fucking mountain" then I noticed through the snow a cave farther down the mountain but still out of reach if I jumped, I guess this is my only choice so I proceed to pull my swords out and readied myself for one hell of a ride, I jumped for the ledge but missed the edge but that I knew was going to happen to I turned and slammed my swords into the rock witch stopped me cold (pun intended)
I hung there for a minute to catch my breath and took one sword out of the rock and slammed it back in higher up and did the same with the other sword, I slowly climbed my way up to the ledge and pulled myself up and laid on my back to catch my breath, after a few minutes to calm down I stood up and looked into the cave, all I saw was darkness, but soon heard something hit the mountain again
The mountain shook again but I was able to keep my footing and the cliff was able to hold but was rammed again but soon saw a claw reach over the ledge and clamp into the ground, then the rest of the creature started to pull itself up, the creature was bipedal which means it walks on to legs, it had large bat wings but the part that really freaked me out was its face was twisted into a swirl and it was covered in armor with dried blood by the looks of it,
I stood at its full height it was easily five feet higher than me, and from what I guess it was looking at me, I drew my swords and slowly backed into the cave hopefully it would be to large to fit, but of course the universe thought it would be fun to make the cave larger the farther I go in so now he has plenty room to come at me
The creature slowly walked towards me with its claws at the ready, I continued to back up till my foot took a step back into nothing and I proceeded to fall backwards down the steep hill till I reached the bottom and looked around, it looks like a fucking coliseum, my thoughts were interrupted by a screech, I looked up to see the creature coming down towards me ready to smash me like a nail
I rolled out of the way but when it made contact with the ground a small shockwave pulsed and pushed me back about ten feet, the creature stood in a small crater and turned towards me and started to run at me, 'alright he's large which means he's slow so I need to plan ahead and not get hit and then I got this'
The creature was about ten feet from me when it raised its claw at me and swung downwards, I easily sidestepped it and swung my sword into his gut but the blade just bounced off the armor like it was a stick, the creature swung back with a back hand, I was able to put up my swords to block but the force still sent be back, 'damn so a direct attack wont work what can I do'
The creature ran at me again and did a side swipe I ducked it and jumped back but it caught my leg and threw me into the wall, 'damn it this thing is getting smarter I need a way to take this thing down now' I looked up and saw we were still in the cave which gave me an idea I stood up to see the creature jab its claw at me like a spear I moved out of the way just in time for its claw to slam into the wall which started to shake violently and break apart,
I then saw the creature had little armor on it shoulders so I jumped with my swords and dug them into the creatures shoulders, the stalagmites on the ceiling started to fall "alright you ugly son of a bitch, eat this" I pulled my swords back to make the creature face up and a stalagmite stabbed through the creatures face and proceeded down through its body and into the floor, I pulled my swords out and looked to see the creature skewered through its entire body and into the floor,
I took a minute to catch my breath till I saw a faint light coming from the creatures back; I slowly walked over with swords at the ready, as I got closer to the creature I saw it was a gem of some sort, It was shaped like a third of a diamond, I reached for the gem and grabbed it and yanked it from the flesh, to see it start to disappear and soon a portal opens and I stepped into it with no other ways out
I stepped out of the portal to see I was standing in the middle of a frozen lake, "again with the cold" I took a step on the frozen lake and heard a crack, I froze with fear that this could break and I would take a dip in the 'water', I looked to see the crack proceed off to the edge of the lake, I step back onto the 'safe zone' and looked down "what!" I saw through the ice it was actually a freaken cliff that fell what looked like hundreds of feet's down to an untimely death, so now instead of hypothermia I'm gonna die from gravitia 'death by falling'
I started to reach out my foot to take a step but the spot I was about to step on collapsed into the ravine, I fell back onto my butt to see the spot that would have been my death if I stepped there, I looked around to see that I was fully surrounded by the falling blocks of ice I stood an steadied myself for the walk across death valley, I took a step on the ice with the crack through it and closed my eyes, I don't feel like I'm falling, I slowly opened my eyes to see me standing on the ice, so I jumped with joy, biggest mistake of my life, the floor slowly started to give way and before I had a single thought my body went on instincts only and ran for its life, while the floor started to give way, I took control over my body again and continued with running till I got to the edge and it gave way
I started to feel gravity but I didn't wait I pulled my swords and jumped from the larger ice platform onto smaller ones as they broke apart till the edge gave way and then I dove for the ledge and latched on to keep me from falling to my death, alright what's up with me almost falling to my death, I stood after catching my breath to se that glow again from another piece of the gem, I slowly walked over to it and grabbed it from the display and as the last one did it disappeared, and another portal opened up.
Again guys and gals those who like just say what you think is good or what needs improvment
