Chapter 7

Day 3: How Could This Happen to Me?

A row of six people bowed before King Tyde while the rest of the new recruits looked on. King Tyde held out a sword and tapped it against one of their shoulders to the other.

"The six of you have shown me that you are bravest and most courageous people the kingdom has ever seen." King Tyde announced. He stood back a bit, looking at the four of them. "Rise Sir Graves, Sir Yakob, Sir Geeko, Sir Foxes, Lady Cabin and Lady Hatter. Serve thy kingdom well."

The six rose as King Tyde said their names and bowed their heads. "Of course, Your Majesty." They all said in unison before they turned around to their comrades. The six of them plus Yunas divided the newfound army into smaller battalions. Once everyone was with their respective leader, the person went over to their commanding officer. Graves, Geeko and Hatter lead their groups up the castle walls to support Tom's small unit while Yakob, Foxes, Cabin and Yunas lead their infantry towards Zaheen's battling squad.

Off into the distance, the opposing army stood behind a wall of flames from the sneak attack the Generican Army made during the night. The four battalions stood proudly before the village, waiting for the Ragican Empire to strike first. The two kingdoms remained still, not a single person making a move on the other kingdom.


Rage gazed upon her cauldron which showed her the stalemate that was going on in the battlefield. She began to smirk at seeing how fast dear King Tyde gathered his large army. She waved her hand above the foggy-rimmed cauldron and the image changed before her, showing her a very concerned King Tyde.

"It seems that the brave ol' King reigned in an army." Rage commented out loud, saying brave with much sarcasm. "It is too bad that even that wouldn't suffice to stop my impeccable forces." Rage turned around to face the royal family.

"Let us go Rage." Queen Evanz demanded. "Or you will regret fighting against Generica."

"Oh. I am soo scared." Rage remarked sarcastically. At that instant, something flew before her causing her to yell out in a quick panic. "What was that?!" She questioned as she looked around the area until she saw what it was. "Oh, it's a moth. It's a moth. It's okay everybody. I'm fine. I don't mind moths." She quickly tried to recover from her little slip up.

The three prisoners burst out laughing at seeing Rage's first reaction. "Wow. You're such a pussy." Queen Evanz was finally able to say in between her fit of laughter.

Rage spun towards them and pointed at the Queen. "Hey! Insects," Rage began. "Scare the shit out of me."

Prince Peace and Princess Fluke were still trapped in an uncontrollable fit of laughter as Queen Evanz manage to reply back to Rage. "Yea. Everything scares you apparently."

The witch ignored the Queen as she focused on the moth terrorizing her. "Oh, shit. It's a massive fucking-" She started slightly calm before screaming out again in a panic causing the family to laugh again. "Go away you fucking-!" She exclaimed at the innocent moth flying around. Rage turned to her captives. "B-be back in a minute."

The Generican family all grabbed their sides as they were beginning to hurt from all the laughter. "You are such a pussy." Evanz barely managed to say through a lack of air.

"Stop it!" The witch ordered at the three laughing at her. She turned her attention back towards the moth. "Where's it gon- Oh god! I lost sight of it. Oh, shit. I knew I shouldn't have had the d-" Rage was cut off when the insect flew by making her gasp and then let out a yelp. Rage sent a death glare at the breathless family and stomped her foot. "Stop it! Stop laughing at me!"

The witch looked up at the cave roof in frustration. "Why would this happen as I begin my taunting?!" She questioned to the gods above. The moth zoomed past her face and she frantically swatted the air in an attempt to kill it. "Go away!" Rage demanded as she shrieked yet again. "It's so big!" The witch let out a terrified groan as she tried to think of a plan.

However, the moth had flown off across the room. In the cell, the three began to quiet down their laughter. Queen Evanz giggled as she said, "You're such a piece of shit." The witch, however, ignored what the Queen said as she took a deep breath.

"Okay." Rage found herself saying and took another deep breath. "Okay. It stopped for sec. No, no. It's going-" The moth turned it's flight pattern and was once again heading heading towards the witch. "No, leave. Leave. Leave, leave leave leave leave. Oh lord, it's right on over my work station. Oh god!" Rage announced in a scared tone.

Princess Fluke was finally able to escape from her laughing fit and began to tease the woman who took them from their home. "I think that moth loves you."

Though, Rage only payed attention to the moth flying towards her. "Oh god. Oh god. Oh god." She repeated with increasing panic as the insect came closer. Gubiak, after hearing the screams of his mistress, finally walked out from the room he was in to check up on her.

"Such a wimp." Commented Prince Peace.

"I hope-" Fluke began, letting out a small chuckle before continuing. "I hope this moth is the end of you."

"Oh god. Oh god!" Rage continued, like a broken record. The moth was still casually flying around until it got a wee bit too close to Rage for her liking and made her yelped out again. Now seeing what was causing his mistress so much distress, he too began to laugh at the witch's misery. "Get away from me. Get away from-" Rage calmly ordered the moth and as if listening to her wishes, it flew off in a different direction. "Okay. Okay. Alright. Alright. Okay." Repeated the terrified woman as a temporary montra. From the corner of her eye, she sees her assistant laughing at her as well.

"S-stop laughing at me. You're suppose to be concerned." Rage stated in a small voice.

"For what? It's a moth. What's it going to do?" Princess Fluke rebutted in Gubiak's defense.

Gubiak, on the other hand, spread his arms in front of him in a What-do-you-want-me-to-do way as he replied with laughter in his voice, "It's a moth!"

"Sto- It's scaring me." Said the supposedly evil witch, still sounding like a small child.

"It's just going to land near him. That's it." Peace answered Fluke rhetorical question. The four of the them continue laughing as Rage gathered a rag and tried to swat at the insect that was now hovering over her.

"It's too high for me to reach." Whined the struggling witch.

"Oh no!" Queen Evanz sarcastically bit back.

"Throw something then! Throw a shoe." Fluke suggested calmly, trying help her (god knows why).

"No!" Rage replied a little too quick. "It's going to get all scared and might attack me." She tried to reason.

Fluke sat there stupefied. "With what weapons?! It's a fucking moth!" Questioned the Princess.

"With fear. It will attack me with fear." Shot back the witch. "I don't think I can spray at it." She thought out loud as her assistant continued laughing. "A spell should fuck it up."

Prince Peace attempted to stop his laughing long enough to say, "Rage versus moth. Moth wins." At that everyone's laughter was renewed.

"Oh shit! I'm- Worst timing! Worst. Timing. Ever!" Rage exclaimed as the moth flew overhead, causing her to panic once more and screaming out in terror.

Princess Fluke grabbed her sides in pain. "Oh my god!" Fluke said with joy as the witch repeated her "Okay" montra. "This is the best. I hope this is the entire day's entertainment!" Peace turned to his younger sister and nodded in agreement. In the meantime, the panicked woman focused her thoughts into casting a death spell at the moth. However, the moth was too fast for her and became very angry at her. The moth swooped down to her face and flew around her head knowing it was going to cause her to panic.

The witch frantically swung her arms at moth, trying to get it to leave her alone. "It's going hay- It doesn't like having a spell casted upon it." She stated the obvious, which to be honest is a norm for her. Rage tried to take a deep breath, though it came out shaky. "Okay. Okay. Okay. I got this. I got- I got this."

Gubiak faced the imprisoned family and pointed at his mistress. "It's not even like fake though. She is legit scared." He told them.

"It's gone in a crate." Rage said with a breath of relief. "Alright, I can't see it anymore. If it stays there, we- we won't have a problem."

Queen Evanz let out a soft chuckle. "Well then."

"It's fortunate that it wasn't a spider or I would've casted so many deadly spells everywhere."

Princess Fluke raised an eyebrow at the woman trying to calm herself. "But you have spiders in cages!" She rebutted.

"Oh no. It's gone behind the crate. I see it. Okay." Rage said to no one in particular as she ignored Fluke's comment. "Okay you twat, come here. Come here, you piece of shit."

The princess bursted out in laughter yet again. "Aw man!"

At that, Rage became rigid and alert as she quickly faced the princess. "What?"

"You hate that moth."

Letting the comment slide, the witch eyed the moth as it lazily flew towards her. She leaned back as it drew nearer and began to throw her hands at it, making her whimper with each swat she did. By accident, she barely managed to hit it once and caused it to fall out of the air. "Fucking… Yea! Fuck you."

Gubiak tried to fight off his intense laughter but considering how weak his mistress is looking throughout the incident made it extremely difficult. "The sounds…" He began through his laughing fit. "You making right now."

The moth became angrier at the witch and zoomed past her. "Oh god! It's flying near me! Get off!" Exclaimed the witch.

"Best. Ever." Princess Fluke calmly stated before her laughing ensued. Rage, at the same time, began her "Okay" montra once again.

"It's like it's scaring her more than a horror play." Peace commented with laughter as well.

Rage turned towards Peace with a straight face and she calmly rebutted. "I can't watch horror plays." before continuing her "Okay" montra again. The moth flew over to the witch's work station and landed on the floor, in an attempt to hide from the witch.

"It's like she's in a horror play." He corrected himself.

"This is so great." Fluke barely managed to wheeze out.

Peace, after finally being able to recover, was able to calmly tease the witch. "Oh my god. You're such a wimp."

"Alright. Alright." The sorceress breathed as she calmed herself. Inching her way towards the place where the moth landed, she grabbed a rag that was on her work station. Suddenly she stopped in her tracks and instead started crouching.

"Is it dead?" Asked the princess innocently. Rage in a panicked haste, threw the rag while emitting a weird whimper like sound and causing everyone to regain their laughter.

"It was on the floor and I threw my r-rag at it. I don't know what's up with it." The witch explained.

"And that's- and that's how you made that sound?" Questioned Queen Evanz.

"Yeah. it might have moved when I did it." As Rage answered, Princess Fluke was mocking the 'evil' sorceress. Gubiak, on the other hand, brought up his hand to wipe away the tears of laughter. Rage tried to quickly regain her composure but instead went into a coughing fit.

"Oh my god! It's dead; she's going into a coughing fit and she's dying." Mocked Prince Peace even farther.

"I think- I think I killed it. I can't tell though." The witch stated to herself mostly before the moth started to struggle its way out from under the rag. Without thinking, she let out a high pitched shriek.

"I guess not." Princess Fluke commented as everyone's laughter resumed.

Rage dashed behind a table to get away from the battling moth. "It's not dead! It's not dead!"

"Oh my god! It's a moth!" Remarked Fluke in disbelief. The sorceress took a deep breath and slowly inched her way back to the moth, grabbing a cloth sack on the way.

Rage glared at the rag hiding the moth, still making her way back. "Hate fucking insects." She muttered under her breath.

"You hate a lot of things. You whine about pretty much everything." Gubiak rebutted.

"Okay. I've put a sack over it." Rage said just to comfort herself.

"Why don't you stamp on it, woman?" Fluke questioned in exasperation.

"I gonna- it'll- it'll get all over me." Answered the witch innocently. Peace let out a groan of disgust.

"On the bottom of your shoe?" Asked Fluke, not getting the witch's logic.

"I don't wear shoes!" Rage replied, lifting her robes enough to show feet, which in fact did not sport any type of footwear. She returned her attention to the moth once again and quickly captures it. "I've got it! It's dead!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"I hate killing- I hate killing them so much, but I really can't really catch them off. If I could, I would've put it outside." Rage explained, as she desperately tried repair the damage she did onto her image. "Just saying really."

The princess raised an eyebrow at her and tried to hide her enjoyment out of her voice as she responded. "I don't think- I don't think you would've touch that moth."

Rage shot her attention over to Fluke and quickly rebutted. "I catch spiders!" She then hesitated before continuing her claim. "Honest." Rage stands over the sack she had placed on top of the moth. she put her hands on her hips, cocked her head to the side and with a raised eyebrow she asked, "Is it actually dead or is it tricking me?"

As if waiting for the witch's question, the moth fights even harder to escape it's imprisonment, making Rage yell out again for the thousandth time. "It's not dead!"

Both the Queen and the princess could only respond with, "Oh my god." as the guys laughed at the witch.

"I-I just need to…" Rage began before cutting herself off.

"I can't believe that she's being outsmarted right now. By a moth." Peace stated, flabbergasted at the situation before them.

"I need to- I need to kill this moth. This is ridiculous." The witch finally finished her sentence. Rage, yet again, started her "Okay. Alright." montra as she thought up of a plan.

"This was the best start to a captive day ever." The princess proclaimed happily. Peace faced her and nodded in agreement.

"Was? It's still not over!" Rage replied back to them. "Why won't it die? What's this moth's problem?" She questioned to no one in particular.

"Apparently you." Fluke sassed.

The sorceress ignored the princess' comment and continued talking to herself. "I think it was it's death throws. No, no, no, no. Not it's death throws." She said as the moth violently fought the rag and sack that were on top of it. Rage quickly reached over to her work station, grabbed a small crate and tried to hit it but to no avail. "Die! Die, you faggot!" She exclaimed at the should-be-dead moth.

"What's so hard about killing a tiny insect?" Inquired the Queen.

"Die! Why can't I kill it? What is this moth?"

"Just slap it with a shoe." Peace suggested.

"I just slapped it with an empty crate." Remarked the witch as the moth stopped it's violent thrashing. Being the smart moth that it apparently was, it slowly crawled out from under the rag and hid within the sack itself. "Okay. Okay. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?" She asked when she caught a glimpse of it. "It's in the bag. How is it in the bag? Why would it do that?"

Taking a deep breath and grabbing some loose string she had on the table, Rage grabbed the sack and tied the string around it so the moth would not escape. "Okay. I've got it trapped in a sack, I've put the sack in another sack, put the other sack in a crate, and I'm gonna put it in the bin." Rage commented while she did what she said.

"I'm gonna put you in a bag." Sassed the Queen. "With the moth."

Gubiak calmed down his laughter as he wiped away a tear from his eye. "I never knew that Rage was a five year old girl."

Fluke stretched out her hand out towards the sorceress. "Well. Here we go. Now we do."

Gubiak chuckled and nodded in response. "Now we do."

"Oh man. This is funny." The princess sat on the mat with a big smile on her face.

"...And in the bin. Done! Done it! Finished! Sort the moth out." Rage exclaimed, relieved.

"And on that note, I'm gonna go get back to my duties." Gubiak said. The witch's servant then turned around and went back to where he had come from before.

Fluke casually commented, "I can't wait for it to come back."

"If it get out of the sack in the sack in the crate in the bin… and comes for me, I'm moving out." Rage declared.

"The sack in the sack in the crate in the bin?" Inquired the princess.

"Yeah." She simply stated. "I wasn't actually scared." She tried to convince her prisoners.

"Of course you weren't." Queen Evanz commented sarcastically.

Rage quickly spun around towards the queen, pulled out her magic wand from within her cloak's sleeve and pointed it at the queen. "You were always a... royal pain in the ass. And now, you will be… my bitch servant." Announced the witch. She lowered her wand with an evil laugh as the spell she casted settled. Where the Queen was at no longer stood the beautiful woman in a blue dress, but rather a blue dog standing upright in the clothes of a royal servant.

"Now, if you can be a good little bitch, I want you to… fetch that bin and destroy it." Rage ordered. The sorceress turned around to continue working on her potions.

Dog servant, Queen Evanz, crossed it's paws and raised her head in defiance. "I will not do as you wish." The queen said, making the two kids wonder how their dog mother was able to talk.

Once again, Rage whirled around angrily with her wand out. After a second, the witch cocked her head to the side and gave the queen a sympathetic smile. She had yet again casted a spell on the Queen, though this time Rage turned her into a sheep. "Aw, come now, Queen Evanz. Don't get all… sheepish on me." Rage bursted out laughing due to her 'marvelous' pun as the two kids groaned in disgust.

Oh my lord. I'm going to have that witch killed. Could our lives get any more worse? Thought the now sheep Queen. The sorceress continued laughing as she left the family alone.

"How was this witch able to capture us in the first place?" Questioned the princess. Her only response was her brother shrugging out an "I don't know".


The moment the sun broke through the horizon, the two brave knights had gotten on their trusty steeds and continued their journey to hunt for mage. After Hollow revealed to Plastic the tale of Rage, she too was filled with anger towards the wicked witch.

The two rode on through open plains and passed vast forests until they were meet with another dilemma in the trail to find Rage.

Hollow halted his horse at a fallen log that marked the start of the sandy beach. He just sat upon his horse flabbergasted at the sight before him. Plastic lead her horse next to Hollow's as she too stared at what laid before to two of them: an island in the middle of a bay.

"How do you suppose we get across?" Plastic asked.

"The only boat that I can see is already on the other side and it'd be too dangerous if we make the horses swim across…" Hollow thought out loud, eliminating what could have been their first and second options.

"Are you suggesting we... leap our way across? Have you seen the path?" She interrogated, gesturing at the said path.

The shore that the two knights stood upon was not an ordinary one. Despite the usual soft golden sand, the water was disaster. On both sides of the island, where the currents flowed towards, were large jagged rocks that looked like a mouth of one of the most deadliest and most frightful creatures known to man. Down the middle, and the only option left, were pillars of rocks from all shapes and sizes. Waves upon waves smacked against the firm pillars, making it extremely deadly for anyone who might get caught in the midst of it.

"Going through that is just a suicide mission." Plastic argued.

"But it is something we must do for the kingdom." Hollow responded as he got off his horse.

He walked towards a large rock that stood before the first rock pillar. Hollow made sure that his sword was secured at his side before climbing up the rock. He turned around to face his apprentice, who was still upon her horse.

"Are you coming, Plastic?" Hollow questioned. Plastic sighed as got off her horse and also secured her sword. She walked over to the rock just as The Dark Knight leapt to the top of the first pillar. Hollow stood still on the thin pillar as he regained his balance.

Safely upon the pillar, Hollow was able to swiftly jump pillar to pillar until the distance between each one grew immensely. Plastic got on the rock where Hollow was once at and quickly followed him on top the pillars. When she reach the bit where the space between the pillars grew, she looked up to see how Hollow was doing.

He was carefully maneuvered his way across the bay with hardly any difficulty. However, the water below had sensed the knights above it and the waves smacked even harder, making the top of the pillars wet. Thinking that a bit water wasn't going to hurt him, Hollow proceeded down the path of pillars.

Underestimating the water, Hollow made his next jump a wee too small and slipped forward. He fell on his chest as he continued to slide into the violent waters beneath him.

"Hollow!" Plastic exclaimed, watching it all unfold before her. Hollow hastily grabbed hold of the pillar and tried to pulled himself up though the waves kept battering him from below. As quickly and as carefully as she could, Plastic made her way to the falling knight.

A giant wave smack against a pillar right beneath Plastic, dousing her head to toe. For a minute, the knight remained still as she tried to regain her ability see properly through the salt in her eyes.

"Plastic! A little help here!" Hollow called out as a wave hit him hard. Immediately after that wave, another came from the other side. Being battered from both sides, Hollow lost his grip. He was about to fall into the murderous water if he hadn't quickly reacted and grabbed hold of the edge of the pillar.

The waters, as if eager to taste the dangling knight's blood, hit him even more ferociously. With each hit, the knight's grip would loosen a bit. On the third hit, one of his hand completely lost it's hold and was quickly trying to get back. However, the water was determined to kill him and began hitting waves at Hollow's head.

The Dark Knight managed to withstand it for a while but he was eventually too stunned to even hold on. His other hand finally gave out and he started his descent towards the ocean below.

Though at the last second, a hand snapped out and grabbed Hollow's arm. He looked up to find Plastic standing before him as she pulled him up. Hollow quickly shook his daze away and climbed back up the pillar.

Since the top of the pillar were only big enough for only one person, when Hollow was about to get on top of his pillar, Plastic hopped over to the nearest pillar. The Dark Knight was finally on top and tried to regain his balance.

"We have to get out of here, Hollow!" Plastic exclaims just to be heard over the waves crashing below.

Without another cue, the two knights made a mad dash and parkoured their way across. After a little while, the clashing of the waves dissipated. However, it was until they were half way through when Hollow noticed something.

Hollow had look down at the water underneath and noticed that the level of it was lowering itself. He paused as he looked over his shoulder. A giant wave was fastly making its approach to them.

"Fucking 'ell!" Hollow cursed. Plastic sneaked a peak over shoulder. Somehow, the two of them managed to sprint even faster than they already were.

"I feel that the witch enchanted the water to attack us." Plastic said.

"I wouldn't doubt that." Hollow responded.

The knights were a third of the way across and the wave was increasing in size and speed. The giant wave began to crest, looming over the fleeing knights. Just as it was about to crash onto the knights, they leapt.

After a while, the water finally settled; not sensing the invaders anymore. On the sandy beach, lay two still bodies. Their chests heaved as they tried to regain their breaths.

Hollow sat up and laughed. "You're too low, water!" Mocked the Dark Knight. He finally stood up and headed inland with Plastic following closely behind.

They were not far in when they come across something: A sign. Plastic's eyebrows crunch up.

Turn back. Read the sign. Hollow ignored the sign and continued on. However, another sign was posted.

No, seriously. Turn back.

The knight disobeyed the sign and went on. He didn't come all this way to be intimidated by some stupid signs.

You're making a big mistake.

Plastic walked behind her teacher as she read the signs they past.

Last chance.

Hollow marched on as he scanned his surroundings in order to find the witch's lair.

That's it. You're in for it now.

Plastic went on high alert when she read this. Something was sure to happen. Something always happens on this quest of theirs.

YOU FACE CURAXU!

The sign was next to a giant cave entrance and Plastic peaked inside as Hollow continued to search for Rage's hideout. From within the depths of the cave came a low growl.

"Uh, Hollow?" Plastic called out, getting his attention. Then out of nowhere, two giant golden eyes appeared within the darkness of the cave. "I think we got another problem."


Oh, I wonder what is going to happen next. Oh wait. I already know what happens next. The question is... do you guys know what will happen next? Stay tuned for the next episode of... oh wait this isn't a show. Never mind! I meant to say stay tuned for the next chapter of A Hollow Quest to Find Rage!

Oh one last thing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY JANET!

Cabin, out.
