《I should have been the Hero instead》Arc 1 ch 3 : First combat

Fire...everywhere I look , anguished cries of a boy.
Dark clouds covering the once beautiful sky, anger and desperation that can break ones hearth.
Laughing of a demon...
And I woke up again after a sleepless night.Sweat covering my whole body, and a ragged breath.For a minute I thought I was a grown man , then the minute passed and I am me again . Without knowing.
William Valenston , 3rd son of Duke Valenston.
I woke up again from a good sleep , yet my body feels heavy.
I noticed the sweat covering my body and went for a quick bath.Baths really are awesome , taking your fatigue away just like that.
Today really is a good day for a picnic in the woods.I bet we will have lots of fun .Maids should already have packed up most of the essentials for the picnic so I went to get my sister from her room.
After announcing my arrival Catelyn came out almost immediately and hugged me with all her power.
"I knew you wouldn't forget this time !"
"How could I forget my date with such a beautiful lady a second time? Doing so would be a an act against the gods!"
I answered remembering brother Elrics teachings of "How to treat a Lady
Catelyn become red all of a sudden. Oh gods! Did I angered her somehow?
"Sorry Cate have I done something to make you angery?"
"No , its nothing, lets go already !"
We ventured to the forest with four guards and a maid. Nicole couldn't come since Mother had duties for her.
She insisted we take guards with us eventhough the forest is ours and already safe .When I questioned her she said it was just in case and that they won't be near us all the time, just watching from afar.

We ate our breakfast near the lake we found.This place really was beautiful.Surrounding the lake after the open space was a mixture of trees with varying colors.Wherever I looked there there were countless amount of flowers from different colors.And smell the their enchanting fragrence.
It was like a paradise with all the songs the birds were singing.
After the breakfast my Sister wanted to explore and ran off without waiting for me or the guards.
I quickly followed her.While I was chasing after her, the colorfull and noisy forest became dark and silent.I couldn't see my sister anymore.
"Cate where are you?"
"Hey! Come out sis !" "You are making me worry !"
"If you dont come out I will tell Mo-"
A loud scream was the answer I got.Suddenly I felt cold. Like a bucket of iced water was being poured down my body.
My hearth seemed like it stopped for a second , then begun beating faster than ever.
Without thinking I sprinted towards the way the screams came from.
Waiting me was the image of my sister curled up to make herself smaller while three green things where holding her down and try to rip her clothes off.
She saw me from the corner of her teary eyes
"Brother help !"
I drew my fathers gift and started to run towards the green things, holding it over my had like I was about to swing it.
One of them noticed me and warned the other two.
One that noticed me sent the smallest of the two to kill me.
It ran at me too but was unprepared for my for my fast overhead swing.Before it could raise his club my sword cut clean through his soft meat from his rigjt shoulder to his chest,the green thing looked at me with confused eyes before its now lifeless body slided from my blade.

The others seemed shocked at first but soon their shocked turned into rage and the bigger of the two pounced on me.
I positioned my self so that I could see them both at the same time.Rei always said to never lose sight of your opponents.
The bigger one came to me without a care of its openings so I gave him a shallow cut to its dominant leg while dodging his overhead.
Seeing this the other one grumbled something and they begun to rotate around me .
From the corner of my eyes I could see the shivering form of my little sister.Seeing this made my blood boil with anger , my mind became clouded.
First move came from the big one , he charged at me with a overhead swing again.This time it was much more composed and he did so without putting himself in danger. I couldn't parry it so I jumped backwards.
Then I felt a sharp pain coming from my back.
I was stupid , with the rush of the situation I forgot about the other one.But the pain woke me up from my muddle head state.
with shaking legs I took my position again.
Bigger of the two came at me with the same tactic , I can already feel the other one getting ready to jump at me from behind but it wont work this time.
While he swung his sword down I positioned my sword in a tilted Manner .
When our blades contacted his slided harmlessly of my blade , I sent a kick at his sword arm and disarmed him.
Last thing his shocked eyes saw was a blade coming at its neck.
Witj the big one dead , I turned around just in time to side step a dagger coming toward my face.
While I did manage to dodge , it still grazed my cheek.
When I was about to attack it , power left my body and I fell down from the blood loss .
The creature looked at me with mocking eyes and started to walk towards me triumphly.
Is it the end? Was my life going to end at the hands of a green thing like this?
NO!
With the last of my remaining strenght I swinged my sword at his legs only for it to dodge and kick my head.
Ah so it will end like this...
I am scared , ı dont want to die,
Mom , dad ... Help
My vision become blurry , but I faintly saw an arrow embedded to the creatures neck.
