Kandrake chapter four

And finally it's here! That's all I have to say, and for those who like God Of War this might be cool, and you might catch the reference. So without further Ado Kandraken CHAPTER FOUR!

Peter felt exhilarated. That was, however, only until he hit the pavement of a San Fransisco hill going about 100 miles an hour. Luckily he was able to flip himself onto his back before he landed. This made the landing a little softer, and less life threatening than if he would have fallen on his head. He skidded thirty feet and then stopped.
He wanted to just lie on the pavement for a while to think about what mistake he made. Sadly he did not get to do too much of that. As he became more coherent he realized that he needed to get to his masters house as soon as possible. It was then that he noticed the street car rails underneath him, he also noticed that the rails were vibrating slightly. He jumped to his feet, and looked behind him. He could see the street car just cresting the hill about ten feet from him, and it was closing fast!
Peter leaped into the air and front flipped two times, before landing on top of the street car. He waited for the perfect moment and jumped straight up in the air, grabbing the street light with both of his hands and pulling himself up on to it. He wobbled on top of it for a second and then found his balance. He was like a cat perfectly balanced on the top of the pole. After resting there for only a few seconds, he ran across the beam of the street light and leaped over the sidewalk, and towards the six story brick building. He ran up the wall six steps and leaped to the top. He grabbed the edge of the building and pulled himself up onto the gravel roof.
Peter wanted to do the last “leg of the race” in one surge. So he ran to the tallest building in the city, the Transamerica Pyramid. Peter could see the pyramid shaped tower from the building he was on. He ran to a ten foot gap, that spanned over an alley and leaped it with no problem. He jumped over a radiator tucking his legs into his chest, and thrusting them back towards the ground at the very last moment. This move propelled him through the air enough to do a no-handed cartwheel over another radiator.
There was a power line that he could use to get even closer to the pyramid by zip lining. He made a strand of magic in his had and shaped it to a triangle with no bottom. He hardened the magic and he was good to go. He did this all while running at twenty miles an hour. He jumped when he got to the power line and swung his makeshift zip line over it. He was zooming across San Fransisco’s downtown streets at surprising speeds, speeds that scared even Peter. When he reached the end of the power line he was not very far from the pyramid. Just a few buildings away. He swung on the zip line and let go of his magical harness, when it left his grasp it disintegrated into thin air. He landed on a building, rolled and stood at his last obstacle. Getting onto the top of the Transamerica Pyramid itself!
There was some scaffolding about half way up the building from where he was. He could make that easily, he knew. Peter gathered his strength, and tapped into his magic a little bit. He crouched, and concentrated a surge of energy to his legs. His legs opened from the crouch like a supercharged spring. His long pony tailed hair wiping behind him. He was inches from the scaffold, but he just missed it. His hands groped for the scaffolding, but he just hadn’t jumped high enough. Without heasitation, Peter reached into Kayden and pulled out two curved blades, and with his superhuman strength he plunged then into the cement part of the buildings wall.
Going into the wall almost to the hilt, the blades stopped his fall nearly instantly. Peter pulled the left blade out of the wall and pulled up on the other one. He drove the left hand blade into the wall just above the right one. With two more pulls Peter was at the scaffolding, he jumped onto it, and put the blades back into Kayden. His next task was to find a way up the rest of the tower!
