(Well I'm not gonna put up the next chapter until I get some more reviews and some input into who ya wanna see K'tar hook up with ppl, get the message? O god I'm turning into Erin here, what with my demanding reviews, I blame the non-reviewing public, well Ta Ta for now. Enjoy my faithful, non-reviewing fans.)

The Releasing



K'tar was still a little creeped out by that crazy damn witch woman, "I don't know what in the nine hells she was tripping out on but it must of been some good stuff." K'tar said as they were having a mug of ale at the Ugly Orc, K'tar's favourite tavern.

"I don't know what YOU'RE trippin out on, no one says 'trippin out on' in our world, get your slang right or I'm going to smack you." Kat said

"But u gotta admit, she was kinda scary, being mean and saying that all those bad things were gonna happen to K'tar! I hope none of that stuff ever happens, because then I'd be sad!" Cynthia said

"Let's hope not." K'tar said "But we had better get back to the guild hall, Korzab is probably already going to give us trouble for taking so long.

They got up, paid the tab for the ale and the monthly rent for K'tar's room, and left. Out in the street it was another typical day in Waterdeep, merchants showing off their wares, servants beckoning potential customers into stores, a strange guy with a silly hat wandering up and down the street yelling "Review my stories and say who ya want K'tar to hook up with! If you don't I'll be forced to stop writing!" No wait...he couldn't have seen that, K'tar blinked. The silly hatted man was gone...how strange.

They hurried to the guild hall and greeted the gatekeeper.

"All went well then K'tar?" He asked

"Of course. It was done by ME after all" K'tar said smugly

"Indeed lad, indeed it was." He said, "Well you had best carry on then, lest you be even later than you are"

They walked to the main hall where Korzab was waiting. He appeared to be examining a strange orb which was floating about 4 feet off the ground. The orb was divided into fifths, each fifth a different color. Green, Blue, Red, Black and White.

"Korzab, we are here" K'tar greeted

"Perfect timing my boy! I was just about to activate the Stone of Dragons." Korzab said "It is an ancient relic of mighty power, said to give its weilder the ability the abilty to fly and to have the breath of one of one of one of the five colors of dragon that the orb is made up of. I received it as payment from a mage for a task we completed. I don't know why the fool parted with it, especially after he told me what it could do!"

"Doesn't that make you wonder if maybe it isn't so powerful?" Kat said

"Yeah! It might do bad things!"

"I agree Korzab, you should have this thing looked at magically before you try top activate it." K'tar said

"NO! it is mine to do with as I wish. I wish to active it NOW!" With that he grabbed the orb out of mid air and spoke an incantation. There was a blinding flash of light, followed by an explosion and a dying scream. When the dust cleared there were five mists, each one of the colors that was on the orb.

"Ohh pretty colors!" Cynthia said "I want one of those orbs for me."

"Umm back to the task at hand ok Cynthia? Wait the mists appear to be shaping something."

The mists were forming into dragon shapes. They were all going at exactly the same pace. When they were fully formed, they spoke as one.

"Thank you foolish human, you have freed us to the detriment of your own race. Were you not dead we would give you the honor of being the first to die, so that we could regenerate fully, as we could not we will return each to our own enclaves as we prepare to raise the mighty army's of the dragonkind." They all spoke directly to the corpse of Korzab. They turned to K'tar, Kat and Cynthia, "goodbye humans, wait in fear and know that humanity's end has come at last."

With that they were gone. Not flying, or teleporting, simply gone. The mercenaries stood in silence for a moment, each pondering what must be done. Cynthia broke the silence first, "K'tar...those pretty colors are gonna do mean things aren't they?"

"Maybe, we should probably begin a world spanning quest to stop them shouldn't we?"

"Most likely...It would be the right thing to do." Kat said

"So where-" K'tar was cut off

Someone, or more accurately something had just teleported in. It appearend to eb some sort of spirit or angel. "You three, you must save hum-" The angelic being was cutoff by K'tar

"Way ahead of you Ms. Angel, after all, this is unfolding like every predicable story ever written, I mean first I met my companions, then someone I know accidentally releases some horrible plague upon our race, and now me and my newfound companions have to go and save humanity, right?" K'tar said

"Yes, how did you know?" the angel asked

"I just told you, seriously predictable, Ao, or whoever else is writing fate seriously needs a little more creativeness, he's obviously such a frontal left."

"You have confused me, I give you this map to shoiw you the enclaves of the five dragon lords and then I leave, GOODBYE!" the angel said "Oh and one more thing, you notice the broken orb on the ground? the one that has turned clear? Well you need to have it when you kill each of the dragons, for only when it has consumed all of them will it be complete and imprison them all forever again." With that the angel vanished

"Mean angel, I was confused, I didn't leave. Cynthia said



(Well I hope you enjoyed this installment of my dumb story, as I made K'tar say, its so predictable its annoying. Plus keyboarding class ends at the end of next week, and ya know, I'm a busy kid and such, not to mention writers block that always occurs when im not in class. Well, I shall try, my faithful friends/fans but I make no promises...more reviews or I kill it for sure!!!!!...im turning into Erin)
