Ch. 7
Gina had taken the lead in the rush to town, but Kevin who is an elf quickly took the lead and beat them all there. Ian, Gina, and William all got there in turn. They were all very relieved and checked into the first inn they found. The town was a small little town, no more than 40 people lived there. They had all the basic shops, but they had a very large temple to Sol, god of light and magic, also Komi, god of war and death. Sol was represented as a human wielding a sword in one hand and a glowing white orb in the other. Komi is represented as a tall darkly cloaked figure, with a large axe in one hand and a scythe in the other. After the first day they went to the temple. Ian on the way had stopped and bought a map of the town and surrounding area. Once they got to the temple, the first thing they noticed was a cave entrance directly to the east. They kept walking over to the podium, once there they knelt and started to pray. When they finished the stood to find a monk in front of them. He gently greeted them. He then caught a glimpse of Ian's palm and saw the mark. He grabbed Ian's hand with lightning speed and pulled it close for a better look. He then released it. "Follow me to the library I must show you something" the monk said. He then turned and started to walk back towards the entrance. Ian and his friends started to chase after him. "Why should we follow you" Gina shot at him even though she was tiring from all the running. For an old monk who seemed to be floating he moved very fast. They quickly made it to the library. He walked over to a section full of books and scrolls that looked like if you touched they would crumble. The monk looked through a small pile and pulled one out, he then took it over to Ian. He then unrolled it and showed it to Ian. The scroll talked of a maze in which a person can go through with one other person, but only if they had the mark. At the center of this maze there are two things. The sword of the Chosen or riches beyond belief, as soon as you touched one you and you friend would be teleported out of the maze. The sword was said to hold powerful ancient magic and be able to cut through anything, even magical shields. "I would not make any choices yet young Ian, your perceptive on every thing may change drastically from now and once you leave the maze, if you leave the maze that is. Many of the chosen have tried to complete this maze and have failed" the monk said then he bowed and said, "But I have a feeling you will. You see you come from a line of people every 100 years another one is born, you are this centuries". The monk then took them to the cave entrance in the east passageway and said, "whom do you wish to go with you" Gina instantly raised her hand and rushed forward, "take me or I kill you Ian". Ian quickly decided to take her, because he wanted to do this unharmed. They then entered and, Kevin, William and the monk lost sight of them in seconds.
