Pip19 Skeletons with patches of sporing mosses attached violently waved their weapons at her, as they soon climbed at an angle up the trellis of bones, their fallen kind. Luckily just as they begun making shore, they seemed to be thinning back in the farthest campfire lit, watery environment. Yet she saw a few still entering from the fog as spindly dark masses. They came at the exhausted redhead in manageable twos and threes luckily. Pip had quickly found that the local swamp skeletons were half rotten and just as easily crushed with a timely - aimed punches and kicks, as with her weapons. It was like fighting children, but she knew even enough pint-sized children could overwelm the biggest warrior. She hoped the shambling corpses, some of the.fresher ones with flesh dangling, would cease climbing the rotten bone mountain. Four skeletons emerged at once and came at her together, yet with no tactics she believed. They just wanted to rip and shred her to bits. With a mighty swipe she knocked three rusted swords out of her path, yet the one behind, that she had to let go, ran her through. The green-tarnished sword took Pip in her right side, across from the navel. From the back, the bone-man had put it threw to the hilt, where the stunned redhead could see the rusted and bloodly blade sticking straight out. Crazed she took a few powerful steps forward and smashed the angry, flat and heavy pommel down through the skull of the dead imminently out in front. As the attack dropped the creature like a bag of bones, she had pulled the green and red blade from her gut, out her back, and the skeleton that had injured her stupidly remained stationary, as if its hollow sockets were shocked at what it had accomplished. #Fantasy, #fiction, #writersofimstagram, #writersnetwork, #writtenwork, #writtencommunity, #creativewriting, #writm, #writing, #mirakee, #journal, #journaling, #writer, #thoughts, #musings, #art, #watercolor, #artwork, #sketch, #sketchbook, #artoftheday, #artsy, #penandink, #artofinstagram, #artfido, #art_spotlight, #artsanity, #_artshow_, #dailydesignpick, #artwowsharing
