The Shadow Games
You are at a loss. Sweat beads trickle down your face and neck as you grasp for words. But none come and you drop your head in despair.
"So, this is how you wish it to be?" the boy begins. "So be it! Since I know you not to be friend or foe you leave me w/ but one option."
The sword placed at your neck begins to glow w/ silvery light. "It won't end now!" you think. With that you send a spark of energy in the boy's direction.
Catching him at unawares you send him flying back into a tree, hard. You turn on your heel and flee in a mad dash down the path and into the woods.
But you don't make it far. Your feet are taken out from underneath you and you land flat on your face in the leaves. You raise up only to notice a silver beam entangled around your ankles.
It drags you back in the direction you ran from. The boy! The energy from his sword has you entrapped. He place you on a tree and ties you there w/ the beams of light.
"You don't understand!" you exclaim in a frantic tone, but are silenced when the light covers your mouth.
You fight and struggle, but it is useless. The boy looks at you intensely, "I cannot allow you to go. I know not your intentions and if I let you proceed along your way many ppl may suffer."
"You fool!" you think, furiously. He nods in victory and rushes off down the pathway.
"Great!" you think, "What now!"
What now indeed?
