Lemurian 04: Let's go!
Chapter one,
the break before dawn.
They all sat around the fire. "They" means Guy, Rath, Wallace, Raven, Legault and Jaffar. It was a freezing night and all looked dark. Then suddenly, one of them spoke; " It's dark. " he said. It was Guy. He didn't like the dark. As a myrmidon, he liked the day-light better. He could stand fog, but the night reminded him too much about his lost love.
" Yeah. " Rath agreed. The silent nomad. He was not afraid of the darkness. It could make it difficult, but it wasn't more. It was the break before the dawn, nothing else. Difficult terrain was worse. Soft earth and desert-sand was the only problem for a nomad.
" Ah, yes. It's cold too. " the voice of Wallace said. The freezing ground was no problem for a general. But the chilly air could stop him in his tracks and an enemy could attack him. The wind could make it difficult for javelins and hand-axes. Then, forests were better. Gave them good defense and was perfect for a solid suprise-attack.
" It will be hotter tomorrow. " the silent voice of the mercenary Raven said. Heat was no problem. He could traverse any weather and any terrain. But his sword was weak. It had been used too many times. Maybe it would last one battle, two if he was lucky. The hammerne had been used on the rescue-staff for sometime ago. They had used it in the magma-cave. No good memories from that day. His dear sister had walked in there together with the other chosen. Luckily, they returned. Hector too, unfortuneatly.
" Morning comes late tomorrow. " the thief said. Legault liked this night. The cape made it hot enough for him and the night was perfect for thieving. Noone could see him and he could sneak out from any places unnoticed. A smirk spread on his face on the thought of it. It had been a good day, this day. Tomorrow would be too.
" Evening comes early tomorrow. " the mysterious assasin said. He was as emotion-less as ever. He didn't like or dislike the darkness. He didn't like or dislike the terrain either. The only thing he disliked was Nergal. The only thing, no, person he liked was Nino. All good came from Nino and all evil had come from Nergal.
They sat there, silent. Nothing was moving, not even the grass or the air. Tomorrow was far away. They would experience a new battle, a new adventure. They would help the three lords and defeat Nergal. No doubt. The cold wind blew on the guards. Noone reacted.
The next guards appeared for the rest of the night. Marcus, Oswin, Karel, Harken, Fiora and Matthew. They were next. The old ones stood up and greeted the new.
Legault and Matthew greeted eachother. Oswin, Wallace and Marcus nodded in agreement. Karel and Guy bowed to eachother. They walked into the tents they shared. The night was silent. Nothing was moving and nothing was happening.
End of chapter.
