Chapter 3: An Evil Fort and an Evil Ceremony

Old Fort Freedom April 27(8:00am)

A.J. and the old ferret were talking again; he told A.J. that the fort was constructed atop the ruins of the old tyrant fort Marshank. And how all the supposed "goodbeasts" were worse than any tyrant ever before. They would do the normal stuff that warlords do to their prisoners...and some far worse... they had an evil warlock named Vladimir...he preformed evil experiments on them with arcane magic's...and he told him about an evil ritual Goblet that was buried long ago and forgotten to all except the "higher up" people in the fort. This evil ritual Goblet was to be used in some sort of Ritual, and even Vladimir didn't know what the ritual did. He also told A.J. about how the fort was now seemingly haunted with sadness, depression, despair and death. He told him about how on a day many, many years ago after it was first constructed they only had a group of fifty running the place and one of them went slowly insane, after claiming to have found something Evil in the fort, something as ancient as the seas themselves...it was a goblet.... later that night he went insane and killed them.... all fifty of them, he was later hung, and on the day they hung him he said that the goblet drove him to kill everyone. The goblet, which was in his quarters, disappeared and wasn't seen again...but over the many years up until even now there was many murders and weird "accidents"...to say this place had a bad past was a huge understatement. He told him how one day while cleaning Vladimir's room he found a book with the goblet in it. In the book it was known as the goblet of Samuel...Samuel was a demon... Fox Mccloud was wondering why he and Wolf had been taken prisoner, while Wolf was thinking what he would do to the guy who was in charge of the place if he got out.

Vladimir was about to begin the ceremony, if he did it successfully he would call forth demons to this world... and they would under his command! He started the ceremony.... Being on outer wall guard was boring the guard thought to himself...That was his last thought as a large beast stuck its claws through him...killing him. The monster went on to kill the other guards. A.J. awoke from his sleep to screams outside...familiar inhuman screams. "What's going on?" He asked the ferret. "It seems something terrible is attacking the guards!!" the ferret answered.

Marvin had waked up to the screams of the guards as well. He was shocked at what he saw when he looked outside: blood everywhere! There were Demon like monsters stalking about outside. He decided he would let some of the prisoners go. Maybe if they worked together they could escape! He reached the prison area a few minutes later. He tried to think of which ones to let out he should probably let them all out. He went down the row of cells and said aloud to them "I am Captain Marvin of the noonvale guard, and I am going to let you go!" "Now listen though if we work together we could escape, do you all pledge to work together?" They all replied, "Yes" He went to each cell and unlocked the doors. They all gathered in the center of the row of cells and introduced themselves to each other; the ferret introduced himself as Benjamin. After interdictions they were about to attempt their escape when they heard aloud "crash" From outside. They rushed up the stairs to the second story and into the great dinning room and looked out a window. Their hope of escape was extinguished at what they saw the gate doors were crushed and destroyed by stones from the wall around it that had fallen...there was no way to escape. Ct. Marvin suddenly remembering something important, he said aloud "there may be hope yet!" they all perked up when they heard him say: "There's supposed to be a large supply shipment coming tomorrow morning!" "And if we survive the night, once they arrive we could signal them, and they could help us escape!" "Okay now first of all we must split up in to two different groups" he said. Then he said "Me and Benjamin will head to the library to try to find some info about any other possible escape routes and any info about the monsters" "Fox, Wolf and A.J. you can go and find some weapons for us He then went to a small storage room in the hall and took some brown backpacks and some maps. He gave each of them a backpack and map of the building. "Okay Fox we'll meet back here in one hour!" He said. Capt. Marvin and Benjamin left the room to begin their search. Wolf, Fox And A.J. put a map on one of the tables and studied the map.

All That Stands Between Them And Freedom Is One Night. But It's Going To Be One Hell Of A Night.
