Swarnt Brightstar Chronicles

6:56 AM 9/14/2005

Swarnt rolled and landed in a crouch hearing the roar of lightning shoot past him and smash into the wall, being obliterated by it, small stones raining down on him, piling onto the already present cuts and bruises inflicted on him by the vampire mage.
"Ha! You think you can defeat me, Kazzeron?! Puny human you will know what it's like to feel true pain!" Kazzeron roared, charging forward.
Swarnt rose his sword, Debassuer, just in time,-his spear lay shattered at the fall wall of the courtyard-to slow a blow that would have ordinarily shattered his shoulder bone, his arm shook violently, then Kazzeron vaulted off his sword to land ten yards away.
"My arm!" Swarnt said, the beginnings of a sob rising in his throat, but he choked it down. "Fiend, I'll never yield to you! Not for what you did to Trevalin!" He screamed, charging after Kazzeron, sword raised, having the look of a madman. Then, they collided, Kazzeron caught the blade, pushing it back, but it shone with a brilliant light, and Kazzeron dropped screaming in pain, Swarnt dropped low, but in that second he saw Kazzeron's hands were badly charred, and kicked Kazzeron's feet out from under him, in a sloppy manuever, leaving him on the ground with Kazzeron, choking back the bile that rose in his throat. Swarnt leaped to his feet, getting punched in the gut and kicked in the groin by Kazzeron, who was cackling madly. Kazzeron, dissapeared for a heartbeat and re-appeared at the middle of the courtyard. Only to drop dead in a scream of agony to the sound of thunder, and the last thing Swarnt saw was hundreds of small bullets-not unlike the stones that halflings sometimes use on their hookstaff's-simultaneously charging into Kazzeron mercilessly.
"What should we do with him?" Asked one voice.
"He was fighting that vampire..." Replied another.
"He still might be in league with the humans!" Another said.
"What if he isnt, want him to just croak?!" The second voice said.
"But what if he is! What? We heal him only for him to call those bloody humans down upon us!" The first voice said urgently.

"Just heal him!" The second voice exclaimed "We'll question him or something! I dont care, but anyone that almost killed a Vampire Mage must be pretty good!"
"Fine, fine..." The first voice said grumbling.
Swarnt felt strength return to his feet, then his legs, and his entire body.
"Thank you," He said, softly, the small people looked at him, amazed that he was already healed "Thanks to both of you..." He said, falling back into sleep.
Swarnt woke up, and saw two small people at the edge of the bed he was in.
"Wha-? How did I get here?!" He yelled.
The two small people started milling around and had excited looks on their faces.
"Hello...?" Swarnt said.
"Oh,yes,yesofcoursemyname'sGjismowhat'syours?"
"Uh oh... Gnomes aintchya?" He said
"yupI'magnomeandsoiseveryoneelsehere."
"Um... Well, I'm Swarnt, Swarnt Brightstar!"
"NicetomeetyouSwarntmyfriendhereisRotak!" Gjismo said
"Okay so-"
"Whywereyoufightingthevampiremage?" Rotak asked
"Because he killed my brother, Trevalin!"
"Oh, I'm sorry about that..." Gjismo said
"Well, that clears that up! I thought you were with the humans!" Rotak said pretending to gag.
"Never, I would never side with the humans... Or the undead!"
"Wellthat'sgood!Soyou'rean...?Elf?" Gjismo curiously replied
"No, half-elf, but, I grew up as a pure elf would." He replied, sadly
"Awhat?!Thatmeansyou'reparthuman!Itoldyouweshouldn thavehealedhim!" Rotak said
"Can you guys talk slower please?"
"Oh, of course." Gjismo said
"Thank you! Now, I have no relation to any evil! I was born before the war!"
"Oh," Rotak grinned "I knew that, really, I did... Sorta..."
"Well...? So...? What now? Swarnt asked
"Oh, well, now we give you some... Items. And you can be on your way!" GJismo said
"Cool, so... I'll wait here 'till you come back!"
"Okay, be right back!" Gjismo replied walkling out the door, waving.
Swarnt attempted to talk to Rotak but he ignored him, he grimaced "I guess I should... Go back to sleep 'till Gjismo Gets back. Seeya later Rotak!" Swarnt said, closing his eyes and laying down, almost immediatly falling asleep, exhausted.
"Wake up Swarnt, I have the... Items." Gjismo said gently prodding Swarnt to awakefulness
"Awesome," Swarnt said, mumbling still half-asleep "So, where are they?" He asked, eyes unopened.
"Well, right here of course!" Gjismo replied, pointing.
"Oh!" Swarnt said, eyes fully open. "Wow! What is all this stuff?!"
"Well, this," Gjismo said picking up a spear "Is a spear that belonged to our fathers fathers! And this," He continued picking up an object like a crossbow in that it obviously shot something and had a trigger "This is one of our newer inventions, we call it a handgun. We have magically charged it so you can never run out of ammo, and made it so it makes no noise when shot. We figure that you can hold it in your left hand, while using your sword in your right, to pick off vamps or whatever else with them being too far away for bows or melee range, not to mention if you get locked together just shoot 'em some with this baby!" He said "And finally this is a magically charged pack so it can hold much, much more!" He continued.
"Wow, this stuff is so nice, you're just giving it to me?!" Swarnt asked astounded
"Well, yes, and... This." Gjismo replied gesturing to the door, in which was an elf woman, her blue eyes staring at Swarnt measuring him up, occasionly her long blonde hair would fall into her line of vision, but then it just moved away, probably with magic.
"Your giving me someone?!" Swarnt exclaimed "No, I dont own people and I dont want to own people! No one should own a person!"
"You wont own her, she's just joining you!" Gjismo replied
"That's bull! No way, I wont own a person!"
"No it's not! She will accompany you regardless you like it or not!"
"Stop arguing!" A voice thundered, a female voice to say the least.
"Whoa! I didnt do it!" Swarnt said cringing.
"Stop arguing, huh? Not good, arguing is what made this dang war... And arguing is what killed my parents!" She said
"Okay, okay, and I'm sorry about your parents..." Swarnt said skulking.
"Good! And... Nice to meetchya, the name's Sylvania! Sylvania Yntrail, and you're name is...?
"Nice to meet you." Swarnt said bowing "M'name's Swarnt, Swarnt Brightstar!" He said grinning.
