Highlander:There can be only one. (part 6)
4Hjalmer had now grown old, his wife next to him in the bed with their daughter snuggled between them, his daughter, Sophia, a name he and Ellia had decided on, it was warm and quiet, a peace in the air, but how easily that piece was cut in half, a attack had begun on the castle as if from nowhere, the front gates being swarmed, Hjalmer darted to the nearby window...it was the insignia if his people and at the forefront was a man of similar size to Hjalmer himself...another highlander, Hjalmer had known his days of peace were numbered and so, he turned to his wife and child and looked Ellia in the eyes
"It's come Ellia...my time here...it's up, I cannot stay with you or Sophia any longer
"Hjalmer please there's been wor-"
"No, those are my people at the gates, and you know what that means, I need to go...I need to fight them...then the samurai, then then the remaining knights that stand against us...and...it's time...take our daughter and go, run to the docks and sail to my brothers island fortress with the Vikings...it's time for me to tie my loose ends Ellia..."
He knelt down to Sophia and he smiled at her rubbing her hand
"I love you both...now...go..."
He turned away from them, snatching his battle gear, dawning the claymore that had changed and morphed over his years but still had it's soul, the power he felt in his hands, he broke down the door at the bottom floor and made his way through the infantry, breaking bone, tearing flesh, dozens fell to him before a animalistic roar beckoned, it was not his own however, and behold, the highlander, young had dropped down from a perch snarling as Hjalmer spoke
"Who are you, why are you here? What is the meaning of this?!"
The highlander yelled back
"We are under new leadership oh legendary monster, we know you lay with the enemy and I am here to cut you loose from is
"But we are Highlander, brothers in blood and war"
"We are the last Highlanders Hjalmer, we are not brother nor blood, we are enemies and only one of us will leave this place now fight me!"
Hjalmer stared at him, how much he saw his past self in him, but there was no longer time for negotiating...he made his choice, Hjalmer hung his sword behind his back, held with one hand before raising it to the sky and roaring as if her were thunder
"THEN THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE"
