Part 4
This part will be a little bit longer because I couldn't brake it anywhere else. I hope it's not too long. I believe it is interesting enough not to trouble you.
Chapter I (Part 4)
And then he saw him. An Ilderins’ soldier; and another… They were moving hastily towards the defense line. He switched his shield on and turned to his fellow-fighter. Everyone already noticed the incoming soldiers and prepared their shields and weapons. Shooting started swiftly, so that he didn’t even see which side fired the first shot. Lasers lightened the entire terrain with the reddish-yellow color and burned the plants all around. Jelil strived, in the general chaos that arise when the mass of Ilderins’ soldiers started to raid the trenches, to stay close to his fellow-fighters, so that they could protect eachothers backs. One could sense the smell of fire, burnt human flesh and heat of lasers in the air. Many shields were already down; and his was much weakened too. They were overpowered. Every Adem fought against at least three Ilderins. In the general chaos Jelil caught glimpses of his fellow-fighters’ bodies falling lifeless to the ground. He didn’t have a support anymore. He had to retreat towards the inner line of defense, otherwise he’d be done for. He started to force his way through the lines of fighting soldiers. Some other Adems who were left without protection already retreated, while giving the support to the others so that they, too, can reach the inner defense line. However, the inner defense line was already attacked as well. Although Ilderins did not raid all the trenches, there was only a matter of time before this line will also give in to the numerously superior enemy that was advancing unstoppably. Many have already lost their lives and lay in trenches. The survivors from the first defense line quickly picked up their equipment and gave support to the defenders in the inner defense line, who have started to retreat towards the city barricades. Jelil remained among the last ones. Only when he no longer had energy left in his weapon, he retreated, saving the energy in his shield. At the moment he reached the first barricade his shield totally stopped functioning. He knew that now he will have to use double caution.
Citizens, concentrated behind the barricades, managed to slow down the attack from the east, but the defense at sea was already weakened; and now the attackers pushed on the city barricades from all sides. Jelil got himself a new weapon and hurried to give support to the defenders on the western side. He jumped into the first vehicle available and hurried at the great speed through the city streets, well known to him. Evening Light was a large harbor city. It was a broad and well developed rich trading town. In spite of its size, Jelil knew it very well; and so he knew witch is the fastest road to the western shore of the city. It was not smart to use the main city streets because they were well barricaded. One should use the side streets, well defended by the local citizens, but not blocked by heavy barricades. Barricades placed east were stronger and better defended. He knew that in this moment his help more needed at the west, in the harbor. He wondered if his mother was safe and where old Abas might be right now. But there was no time to be worried.
At the time he reached the western shore the barricade was already destroyed and the defenders were having trouble to hold the attackers. He knew that there will be no more withdrawals. The only thing he could do now was to include into battle and give his best until the end. Until the end… Fear of death was suddenly gone. There was only his enemy and his friends, acquaintances and fellow-citizens that fought like one, as if there were never any difference between them, as if they have become one entity. With every passing moment they were losing their lives defending their city and their families. He rushed into battle, wild, without fear, without hesitation. When he lost energy in his weapon, he fought physically. He sensed the smell of warm blood on his body. Was it his own or somebody else’s, he didn’t know, nor he cared about it. Suddenly he felt a hit to his stomach and flaming heat that burned him. He felt ground moving under his feet, his head was spinning, his sight got blurred…
Cold sea water brought him back to his senses. He must have fallen into the sea after he was hit. He felt his whole body burning. Salty sea water burned his numerous wounds. He turned to the shore. To survive, that was his only objective now. He must reach the shore somehow. He must gather all the strength that he has left in him. The city was burning. The light of fire was stinging his eyes. No sounds of fight could be heard. Has the defense already fallen? The current dragged him away from the shore. He will have to give everything he’s got if he means to pull out before he’s dragged out to the open sea. There would be no hope for him then. He knew that. He started swimming with his full swings, but they seemed somehow weak and slow to him. Since he knew the sea around the Evening Light well, somehow he managed to pull out of the deadly stream; but the shore was still far. Too far. He felt his strength letting him out; but he didn’t want to surrender. He was persistently swimming; and swimming…
