Things were going well at first, no matter how many came at them Jessi and Fei were more than capable of taking on these savage foes. Then some assholes deiced they didn’t want to fight like real men and cast two curses. In a matter of seconds Jessi was robbed of his sight. Everything appeared to be in a dark fog that no light could penetrate. He could still hear, however, although he wished he couldn’t when he heard Fei being attacked and being dragged out of tavern.
“STOP RIGHT TH-” He charged blindly at the ogre only to run into a brick wall of a man who was now guarding the door. He pushed Jessi down and laughed, “Your girlfriend is have a private session. But don’t worry, you can still party with us.” Not even remotely ready to give in, Jessi pushed himself up and thrust his spear towards the brute, only for his spear to be snatched away and once more be shoved back to the ground. “Pftt, I thought you guardsmen were the ‘Imperium's finest’? Guess they made an exception for you. Alright boys, take him out!”
Before he could think the crowd swarmed Jessi and began beating him with chairs, clubs, and even their bare fists. He tried fighting back but without his sight he could hardly land a hit, and even if he could he now lacked the strength to do any damage. Soon he was on the floor bruised and bleeding, the mob backed off as two men approached him. He could hear the metal object twirling in one’s hand and knew what was coming; Jessi’s life was about to end.
The man spat at Jessi and began insulting him, stating he was simply there to have his way with the princess while the one behind made mention that they would “take care of her”. It was then that his blood began to boil and he was hit with a second wind. This was his time. This is what he had trained for all those years. He was going to show these scumbags just what this soldier could do and he wouldn't stop until he knew Fei would be safe.
Right now though, he could barely help himself. If they were going to get out of this, they needed to break those curses. Once he had an idea of how to handle things, he pushed himself off the ground and slid his headband down over his eyes taking a deep breath; focus and timing would be everything.
Listening carefully before making a move, he heard both men took a step to attack with their right foot, but the knife man’s was first to hit the ground. Waiting for the last minute, Jessi shifted to the side and grabbed the man’s outstretched arm and directed it towards the chair man’s gut just as said chair came crashing down onto the others head. Once their comrades went down, the mob once more charged at Jessi, but this time he was ready.
First man came at him swinging, punching both left and right aiming for his head. Jessi bobbed and weaved until another tried to hit him with a club. When he heard the club come up for a second time he rolled into the punching guy’s legs and tripped him to the ground just in time to meet the club head on. Obviously not happy about killing his friend, the club wielder charged screaming at Jessi. Feeling a table nearby, Jessi swung his arm across to find a mug of ale. Once he had the pint in his hand he tossed its contents on the man which only seemed to annoy him further.
Luckily, that was only part of the plan. Dodging to the wall, he could very clearly hear the crackle of fire from a lantern hanging above him. As the club man came for another swing, Jessi grabbed the lantern and smashed it on the club man’s head. He could feel the heat as the flames consumed his angry foe who ran screaming out of the tavern. Four were down, but he had no idea how many there still were. To make things worse, he could hear the massive string of a crossbow being pulled back. Great. First they curse him now they shoot at him! No wonder these people were out here, they had no honor.
Then, luck finally smiled on Jessi as his ears caught something he had waiting for this whole time, chanting. One of the magic using pussies that cursed him and Fei was attempting to cast another spell, but this time he wouldn’t let him. As the bolt of the crossbow was loaded, Jessi ran full speed at the previous table and used it as a boost as he jumped over the crowd. He landed right behind the caster as the archer fired his bolt, hitting the mage in the heart. Just to be sure, Jessi twisted the bolt then yanked it out of him, then pushed the dead caster to the ground.
One curse was now broken.
