Jace Armaggedon

Jace walked along the wide open road leading away from Nema. His double handed sword which hung along his back laid hidden over a brown cape. No one traversed these roads for fear of bandits but Jace had no such fear. All of a sudden an arrow whized straight by Jace missing him only from the precognition the darkness gave him. Jace turned around to see five bandits run onto the road from the trees.

"Drop your weapons know or i will be forced to fight you." Jace said calmy while grabbing the hilt of his sword."Nay" said a large bandit with salvaged armor. "We should be the ones tellin you to drop you weapun" Two bandits held their weapons higher and with the order charged at Jace. Jace drew his sword and winced as the sting of darkness reverberated through his body. The bandits reached him and slashed in unison. Jace side stepped easily out of the way threw out his sword. with blinding speed Jace cleaved through one of the bandits body like butter, spraying blood onto his clothes. The bandit died before hitting the ground.

The second bandit jumped at Jace from behind trying to catch him off guard. Jace spun and cleaved the bandit out of the air spilling bood in a huge arc behind his sword. "I wont ask you again, Leave now!" Jace said facing the remaining bandits. Darkness surged through Jace trying to multiply his anger, his hate. Jace fought the darkness inside him. He fell to one knee as pain erupted through out his body. "Look see there" said to the other bandits "he's wounded, Attack!" The remaining bandits all at once charged at Jace. Jace held up his sword as the bandits attacked him but the darkness was still increasing. "No! dont!...." Jace said as the Darkness extendend its reach inside his body tugging at his anger and hate. It wanted to be free, it wanted to kill.

Jace nearly didnt block the huge axe that swung at him from in front. The large armored bandit swore and kicked Jace in the stomach. Jace doubled over but kept up his sword to block the axe. "Get em boys gettem" bellowed the bandit but Jace wouldnt let them. he rolled out of the way letting the axe strike the ground. one of the bandits swung at him but missed and tore Jaces cape. The darkness echoed another wave of pain more intense than the last into Jace and ravaged his heart. Jace could bear it no longer.

A blood curlding yell came from Jaces mouth as the darkness consumed him. His anger multiplied and the darkness flowed around him in an aura of destruction. The bandits wailed and tried to get away but Jace wouldnt let them. He let his sword sing as blood arced this way and that. In two strokes two bandits fell. Darkness pouring off of their bodies. The large bandit fell on his butt crying and wailing for mercy. " Please. Please.... dont kill me.." He wailed but to no avail Jace was gone and there was only darkness. Jaces blade sunk into the bandits skull cutting him nearly in half. Jace let out another blood curdling yell then sank to the ground unconsious
