Episode 2: Slashmen fright! Into the Jade Village

Daniel was walking slowly down the path to the Jade Village, he was going to meet up with Du-Juan-Hwa today out here. Yes he is Chio-Yieh's brother they were both born out here, so they know a lot about this place. Yet there were more dangers out her than you can imagine, yet all that looking around would have to wait since Daniel sees him. Going up to Du-Juan-Hwa he began his missions out here, trust me this place is quite difficult if you don't have a good brigade with you.

|Oh welcome dear friend its so good to see you here, I see that you're Daniel Willowsmith my sister been writing to. Its a good think that's she been doing that to a marine, the dark clans here can be quite troublesome. I'm Du-Juan-Hwa its an honor to meet a marine from Seala, yet for the moment lets get to our mission at hand right now. The evil of the shadow clan has mad things hectic here, trust me you don't want to deal with them on your own. Who leads them I don't quite know for sure in that matter, but I do know a way to find some clues to help us. You see after a few minutes I saw a couple Du-Ya Dart throwers going from a secret location, Daniel I think I know a way to get some answers our here. Go fight some Du-Ya Dart throwers until you find something, be careful I heard they carry a poisonous dart with them. However I've been it by one I can tell it wont kill you instantly, it might paralysis you for a turn or two. Yet I you don't want to take that in battle when you need to fight a lot, trust me it could be costly.| Daniel left off to find some Du-Ya Dart throwers.

There was peaceful aura walking in the Jade Village, he doesn't know much about this village since he has only been with the people. Back when his father was still alive he used to take him to Shailand to see this place, yet he didn't dare let him go to the outskirts of the place. It was still dangerous for a young boy to travel on his one, yet Chun-Hu knew this place like the back of his hand. He was actually born in the Jade Village so he can be useful, it might be time for a lead change.

|Daniel allow me to join you in the front when in battle, I know this place very well I was born in this small village. With my help we can get through this place much easier now, don't be afraid to change things up along the way. I know you haven't been here for a while its understandable, yet going out here without knowing the dangers will be even worse than before. Put me in the front of the group that way you wont get lost, at least you can feel a bit confident in your missions along the way.| Daniel switch Chun-Hu to the front to aid him in battle.

Despite the innocent beauty in this place of gentle ambiance hides danger, a person can get killed if they didn't keep an eye out for trouble. Daniel knew very well that the gentle things can hide big trouble for him, he didn't find the dart throwers they found him. He nearly got hit by one of their poisonous darts, they were quite fast so he has to be extremely careful about this. After a good twenty minutes he finally found something useful. Du-Juan-Hwa might know what this piece of paper might hold for there mission, so he went back to see what he knows about this matter.

|Hmm this looks like some strange tactic on of the higher ups might use, if I have the slightest hunch I suspect that someone is giving out orders to the lower ranks. This place might be a hiding spoke for the warlord's henchmen, so were on the right track with your help Daniel. However were not done just yet I'm afraid in that matter, we still need more clues to help us out right now. I have another good plan that can help us now, down the path you will see some Shan-Dien Slashmen. They normally protect secret for the warlord when someone is a little too snoopy, be careful they are the fastest of the warriors that he has. Anyone fighting them unprepared will get a tough lesson quickly, so just make sure you don't get caught off guard. Don't worry with your friends you'll handle yourself well out there, just remember that your friends can help you when your in trouble.| Daniel left to find those Shan-Dien Slashmen.

Walking down the path he felt really uneasy about this, even with the trees around danger could come from anywhere to attack him. Daniel saw Chun-Hu came beside him quickly to get into battle, he sighed with a little relief knowing he's there. Yet he shouldn't relax just yet I'm afraid, the Shan-Dien Slashmen are nothing to sneeze at. Since they are slashmen they will be difficult, plus these monster have great armor piecing so that makes things even worse for him. Once he found them he felt really frighten about this challenge, he was extremely weak to there attacks with deadly force. However he will have to think of something fast in order to defeat them. After a good thirty minutes he was able to get something off of one, this look very important from the written letter by it. Going back to Du-Juan-Hwa he gave him the not he found, he literally jumped for joy once he got this note.

|Yes, we finally got him! We now know the name of the person who's leading the warriors in Jade Village, Twan-Lio has been doing most of the dirty work for warlord out here. If I could place a bet I know he's been leading them, if we don't stop him now the emperor will be in more danger. Steel Jack you speak off has been doing dark things here as well, if I had a hunch I say that the warlord is working for him. We have to stop him before he does something worse to the emperor, Daniel go and defeat Twan-Lio in is dojo not far from here. Once you do that I can rest a bit easier with him gone, then you can help out the other places to get to Steel Jack.| Daniel went off quickly to find Twan-Lio

Walking down the path he found some Shan-Dien slashmen everywhere, this is probably where Twan-Lio's Dojo was really near by as he walked to it. Once he got there he was ready to battle Twan-Lio now, going inside he was almost hit by those poison darts. This means that he was ready to fight him no matter what, Daniel was going to have a tough time with all of these slashmen. After a good fifty minutes he finally defeated Twan-Lio for good, going back to the Jade Village he spoke to Du-Juan-Hwa.

|Oh thank you for helping us out here with the Jade Village Daniel, now that he's gone we can rest easily knowing he's gone. Now that this place is clean we can get back to work, however you must get back to work as well my friend. You've finished this place but their are more places here to see here, I have a friend named Huey-Sin is in the Soaring Meadows not far from here. I heard there are more of the warlord's men causing havoc there as we speak, it would be nice if you could help him out there. However it's night time its already sunset now, there is a rest house you can relax in for the night until the sun rises. With this I wish you a good dreams through the night, oh and thanks for keeping a check on my sister for me.| Daniel left to rest up for tonight.

Patrick closed the book softly as he went to bed himself. what ever will happen to Daniel is yet to be seen...perpahps waiting might be the best solution for us right now.
