Chapter 2: The Isle of Riches
On a nearby island in the town of Ember, a young woman hidden behind a mask looked up to see a meteor hurdle straight towards the Palace of Spirit. She ran to the mayor and told him of the tragedy that was about to occur. The mayor looked outside but saw no meteor. He shook his head and sighed. The young woman rushed through town and began heading toward the castle. A guard stopped her and told her only members of the Royal Family may enter. The woman removed her mask, stared deep into his eyes, and the guard turned to stone. She walked through the gate to the palace's courtyard.
Link opened his eyes. He looked around at his surroundings. Where was he? A small bug-like creature came up at him and snapped its claws at him. Link kicked the creature away. He was still a little woozy when a human figure began to come toward him. Everything went dark.
"I thought you would never wake up!" a voice said. "Where am I?" Link wondered." Welcome to the Sanfrets Inn! My name is Pawpaw!" the old man said. "What's your name mystery feller?" he asked. "Link" "Link? Well ain't that the darndest name I ever heard. You're not from around here is ya?" Suddenly, the door burst open and a young man came in.
"Pawpaw! Come quickly!" he said. "There's been an attack on the beach where old McGuller lives!" Pawpaw seemed upset about this. "Dang nabbit! It's them Snappers again ain't it?" The young man pointed at Link."You! You look like an adventurer! Ever faced a Snapper?" Before Link could deny it, he was thrown a sword with a wooden hilt. "Come on! What are we waitin' for?" Pawpaw said. "Let's kick some Snapper behind!"
Soon, the three men arrived at the beach where they saw small bug-like creatures with long teeth snapping at a nearby cabin. "Shoot! That is McGuller's house! Let's get dem thangs!" Pawpaw was ready to attack, but Link charged with his sword right in the middle of the Snapper group. Cut! Slash! Rip! Stab! In less than a minute, all the creatures were dead. An old man stumbled out of the cabin and greeted the man that saved his life.
"To whom do I owe this gratitude toward?" the old man said. "McGuller, Link is the one that saved your life." The young man replied. "Link? That name…it reflects on who you really are…you are an adventurer aren't you? Come and sit down with me. We have a lot to talk about." Unable to refuse his offer, Link and the men walked into the old man's cabin and they began to chat. "Welcome to the Isle of Riches!" McGuller told him. " It is an honor to have you here. In fact, I'm sure the townspeople would love to meet you. Go on down to town you three and show Link around." The old man told the other two men.
"Oh, but before you go, could you mind telling me where you are from? No…wait…you are from the forest are you not? You smell of pine trees and woods. You're a long way from home aren't you? Anyway Link, that's not what I wanted to say. In truth, I have a favor to ask you. As you may have noticed, our island seems a little run down. You see, all of the money was stolen by a creature who dwells in the Cave of Lost Souls. Would you mind venturing in there to get our riches back? I'm warning you though, you'll need to properly equip yourself. Try talking to the townspeople. I'm sure they'll help you out.
The three men headed to the town in search of proper equipment for the journey that lies ahead.
And that was Chapter 2. Please rate and no flaming/bashing!
