The Ruins of Hizkivk

Short Fiction Story Under 750 Words

Two Ominous travelers stumbled upon a caravan one day. The caravan rider asked them to hop on. They were headed towards scourge ruins, one that held secrets, no one knew. One was named Tin and the other was named Mace. One was a mage, and the other was a swordsman. Both trained under the same master who had sent them to test their mettle by surviving the ruins of Hizkivk. The caravan rider named, Inviz told them that the ruins were a desolate place home to unimaginable horrors that await them. The band was of both noble birth but were prodigies known to become great adversaries one day. They told Inviz that they have faced tough situations before, and their only chance to claim their namesake is to come back unscathed with the answers promised.

The next day, they reach the ruins of Hizkivk — they move towards with careful precision at a rapid pace, anticipating traps and threats. They reach a two-way corridor. So both divert to each one, by betting who will reach the treasure room first. Both were confident about their prowess. Tin reached a hallway full of elemental knights standing guard, near a teleportation circle.

Tin jumped towards the first knight, casting a transmute spell converting it to mana, replenishing his cooldown. And using the massive mana to cast a fire strike spell that destroyed the other elemental guards. He screamed, “yeah, is that all” and move forwards. He steps onto the teleportation circle but gets caught, as it was a trap set if anyone would defeat the guards, meanwhile he was trying to struggle, with the gravitation spell pushing him towards the ground. Crushing him, he struggles to break free whilst he screams.

Meanwhile, Mace walks up to a room full of treasures and gold. He walks up to a room where a woman is engulfed in a glass tomb. He reaches out to touch the glass coffin. The woman is submerged, inside it. He uses a lightning slash strike, to break the glass coffin freeing the woman. He takes off his lion cape and puts it around the woman, and uses a healing potion on her. She wakes up soon after but is unable to speak. Mace asks her who she is, “Hizkivk is listening” — she murmurs shivering.

He picks her up and asks her who is Hizkivk, or what!? In a second flash, he listens to a long scream…
