Journey

"Sure." Tom said. "We'll rest whenever you're tired." He saw the hole Nikki noticed. He took her hand and led her over there and they both got in it. Tom pulled out some blankets and stuff and made a makeshift bed. "You'll be comfortable sleeping on this, right?"

 

Raz jumped out of the bushes and swung his sword at the giant Boar slashing through it's face. It stood still and silently for a while and made a noise when it's head split into two. A rain of blood showered the scene soaking the grass and trees a crimson red, Raz covered himself behind his giant blade hoping not to get any of it on himself. "The town wants proof that I slayed this beast, perhaps it's hide will do the job" Raz said to himself. Pulling out a sharp knife from his belt, he began to gut the beast and then began to pull the skin off. Out of curiosity, he opened the beasts stomach. Inside he found a skull and a sword. "This must be why they were so desperate to get rid of this beast" Raz thought. He grabbed the sword and the skull perhaps hoping that he would get something extra and headed back to the village with the Beasts hide.

 

< Sorry for the big pic, i couldn't make it smaller >.< >

Illumino walked outside followed by a dosen of captains. A walked to the middle of a small altar outside of the castle. He was concentrating and lifted his arms in the open, dark sky.
"Powers of the dark one! You who hates magical! You who hates Shine! Grant... me ... your... STEED!"
The earth started to rumble, and lightning was striking from the air heavely. Illumino stepped back out of the altar, expacting something big. Suddenly, out of the middle of the altar:


The purple RAGE!!!

 

Upon reaching the village, tables were set out in the centre and no one was around. "I wonder where everyone has gone to?" Raz said. He spotted a guard outside the gates on the other side and asked what was going on.
"Humans! They've found Humans lying in the forest!" the guard said excitedly.
"Okay, could look after this and this please" Raz asked dropping the Beasts hide and the skull but keeping a hand on the sword. "I want to see these Humans with my own eyes. But could you tell me where they all are?"
"Through there, just stick to the path and you'll see everyone, they aren't too far in." said the guard.
Raz listened and did that and found a crowd of beings surrounding the two humans like as if they were Zoo animals. He looked at his hand and looked at theirs. "You kids aren't so different to me" he whispered to himself.

 

It had still been dark as Argael wandered through the forest.
She heard noises of all kinds that nearly ha given her a heart-attack, but she continued her journey until she heard a noise far in the distance.

"H-Hello?" Argael gulped. She took out her bow scanned the dark area.

She heard a deep growl and turned around to see a great-big behemoth.

"Aggghh!!!" She screamed as the beast assaulted her, "somebody help!"

 

Tom woke up, but was still half asleep. He looked around. "Huh? Nikki... Am I dreaming or are we surrounded by a bunch of people with pointy ears and stuff?" Of course, the first thing that would come to his mind would be he was dreaming. But one could never be sure.

 

"Yeah." Tom said, rubbing his eyes to see better. "We're just regular people. There's nothing special about us. We're not part of some prophesy. We're just trying to live our life away from our crazy family."

 

"Seeing as there isn't really much else to do, might as well go with them." Tom said to Nikki as they were pulled along to the village. "And while we're there, we can find out where we are." The little elven kids were running as they pulled Tom and Nikki along. So Tom had to jog to keep up with them and not get dragged along.

 

"Seeing as they think we're gonna save them, do you think we should help look for his grandaughter?" Tom whispered in Nikki's ear. He wanted to since it was the right thing to do. And technically, they wouldn't be interfering with these people. Since these people already consider Tom and Nikki to be their king and queen.

 

Raz handed the Hide, sword and skull back to the elder, it seemed unimportant now because of Tom and Nikki's arrival. The elder bestowed a new task for him, accompany the new King and Queen and keep them from Harm. "What are you offering?" Raz asked.
"I cannot pay for what you may be facing ahead of you, all I can offer to you is that sword you found and to print your name in our books" The elder replied.
"To be a hero and be remembered for eternity at the risk of dying too soon. Haha!" he laughed. "I'll do it, these lands have been befouled among my travels, I for one wish to see it lively again" he smiled. The elder handed back the sword and Raz could only accept it.
Raz walked over towards Nikki and Tom and bowed politely. "I shall join your party to ensure your safety." He remained bowing waiting for one of them to tell him to rise again.

 

"My Lord." said a soldier who came running like being chased by dogs appeared. Dämon, who in sudden awake and looked bit angry because his sleeps being interrupted said, "Do you have any reports? To such in hurry like being chased by Ogres?" The Soldier who kneel to him in sudden stood and said, "There are reports that 2 Stars has glowed and then began to fall and disappeared!"

Dämon smiled and laughed. "This is an excellence news! Now you can quickly go back to your duty." said Dämon. The Knight soon kneel to him and began slowly walked back to outside.

"What is that mean?" asked Lich who stand in side of his throne. "Consider you only have low knowledge than i am, come to me to my meditation room." said Dämon.

They walked to Dämon's meditation room. The place is very dark and only have a thing that looked like Altar with Demon Star symbol and two candles with green light near the altar.

"You see, the elven once have prayed to their God, asking for a hope to Magus from my hand. Yet God has given they a hope, there are two couples that ran away from their house and somehow appeared in here. That is God's work as well." said Dämon.

"But why you feel happy about that news?" asked Lich.

"Hmph, they are God's last hope. Do you know why the last human arrived before them disappeared?" said Dämon

"......" the Lich silenced.

"It was my work as well, i was the one who banished them to a place called Earth, where mortals have lose everything. Now this is my order: Began to assemble a hordes of heavy troops and Death Knights. Find the village where the people who don't followed my order and capture those wretched humans. And i will lend you a help as well." said Dämon.

"Certainly, My Lord." said Lich. Quickly he disappeared shortly after that.

"Now to begin my ritual." said Dämon. He slowly begin the ritual, and slowly Magus is covered by dark cloud and rain storm appeared.

 

The dark captains were swifting through the woods, with Illumino gliding high ubove them, on the dragon.
The dark horses' hooves could clearly be heard within a kilometer. Every critter or deer hearing it would immediatly flee, unable of thinking for itself, as fear had strucken in their hearts.
"Merchants in sight!" Illumino shadowly shouted as he glided down towards them.
As the dragon landed, his talons created a shock wave, bumping away the merchants cart. "AAAGGH!!!"
They shouted as the dragon had stricken one of them to the ground with his talon, and crushing another with his jaws. Illumino just sat there, with the controls in his hand.... smiling evily....
"Meh hehe..."

 

"Die!!!" Illumino shouted at the merchant. He pulled the reins of the dragon, on which he crushed the merchant in his talon. One was running away as quick as possible, but took his load with him.
"Oh no you don't!" Illumino yelled while summoning his two twin swords. He dashed off the saddle and jumped of the dragon, quickly swifting towards the running merchant, and twisting his blades untill he was ahead of him. They both stood still for a moment. But as quick as it happened, the merchant fell on the ground bleeding hard.
"No mercy, Master...."

 

"Yes." Tom said. "But we shouldn't have to fight. After all, we'd just be looking for the elder's granddaughter. I don't think there'll be anything to fight. And we wouldn't be alone."
