The Will to Survive Chapter Six

Location Unknown, January Sixth, 1302

Orion was a young man recently accepted into the ranks of the Knight’s Templar. He was sent on a mission with three other knights, all dressed in the same uniform with the symbolic red cross.

They were to investigate reported demonic rituals in a small town in the country side. As the knights made their way through the countryside they saw fire on the horizon. Once they got closer they saw that the village was burning. They rushed to the aide of the villagers.

George was the first to arrive at the burning hellhole. He was always the most devote and cared deeply for any other life, he was also the commander of this small band of crusaders.

George ran to pull a woman out of a small hut burning to the ground. She savagely bit into his flesh, he fell but only seconds later he was up and with most of the other villagers started running towards the remaining knights.

They raised their swords and shields in defense cutting down any beast who dared to advance.

Orion at the side of his brother Csaba slashed at what seemed like endless corpses. He saw Attila fall to the ground dragged down by a couple of children. Soon he was back up and with the children ran towards Csaba.

Csaba quickly bashed the first child with his shield, the second he spilt in two with his sword. The finale child was easily dispatched with a kick and a stab through the chest, while Csaba’s sword was still in the child Attila leap forward pinning him down.

Seeing his brother in peril Orion slashed at the necks of the two corpses closet to him, killing them in one sweep. He ran to his brother, kicked Attila off of him and put his sword right into Attila’s eye a comrade Louis both relayed on and admired.

Csaba got up luckily he had not been bitten. They knew that their duty to the order was to purge this evil from this earth. They made their way through the village slaying any demons that ran towards them. The village was soon devoid of any life.

They found a small cellar inside was three men one woman and a child of no older then six.

After seeing the evil firsthand they took no chances. They dragged all the survivors out of the cellar and one by one put a blade across their throats.

Finally when it was done the knights gathered all the corpses, including their fallen comrades, and piled them in the center of the village. They burned the dead.
