Chapter V: There is no darker night than this night....



Agrias woke up from her night's rest and saw Ramza sitting in a candle lit chair reading a book. "Can't sleep Agrias?" Ramza asked, Agrias looked at a grand father's clock and saw that it was an hour past midnight. "Yeah you can say that." Agrias answered him and then ask, "What about you?". Ramza replied " I can't sleep too..."

"Why?" Agrias continued to ask. "Because it's quiet...too quiet, even if it's still dark at least you could hear a little noise coming from the forest because there are nocturnal animals out there...but there was only a silence that can be heard, it's like something evil came through there making the animals hide in primal fear..." He said seriously. "Your senses are really getting sharper." Agrias stated.

"I know...that's why I think there is something wrong here." Ramza continued. Agrias decided to heed Ramza's words and look outside the inn's window and certainly Ramza was right nothing can be heard from outside not even a wolf howling, it's like the night was struck dead by something...evil perhaps and on top of that a strange fog was beginning to engulf the whole town. " What is that...Ramza look outside." Agrias told Ramza and He followed and look outside the window.

"What?!...I knew there was something not right here!" Ramza thought then turned to Agrias. "Agrias.....let's wake the others and the innkeeper." He told her as they both begin to dress up in their battle costumes.

"Hey! Rad wake up!" Ramza almost shouted at the sleeping thief. " Wha..? Is it morning...breakfast?" Rad grumbled as he was getting up. " No but if you don't get up you're gonna die." Jason told Rad as Rad notice the grim surrounding. " Okay I get the point." Rad replied to Jason.

"Okay let's head down the inn." Ramza told the group as they started heading down to warn the innkeeper about the danger that was going to storm the town but was too late as they heard a low growl and sounds of flesh being torn from a living body and low agonizing moanings. "Ramza...were too late..." Agrias stated looking sick. " The inn is in the edge of the town, I should have thought about that....if they are going to attack houses this should be the first one they would go into...damn!" He cursed himself silently then said to his team. "The innkeeper might be dead but there might be other people still alive and hiding in their rooms..Terry and Gaston check if there are still people in the rooms, Jason, Mcloud and Rad check the other half of the town to find other people and if they are still safe warn them about the impending dangers and take them to Gariland magic Academy..same goes for you Terry, Gaston..and Agrias follow me to the other side of the town...clear let's go!" Ramza ordered and they all agreed.

And it all begun....

With a swift wind and a flash the monster that was eating the innkeeper's body was impaled by Terry's sword as he shouted " Go! Now, Gaston and I will handle this part!" they all nodded then darted towards the door leaving Terry and Gaston inside the inn. " Let's go!" stated Gaston as they ran their way towards the rooms and quarters...

Gaston and Terry's POV

"Gaston! Let's check the lower rooms first then make our way up until the third floor!" Terry said to Gaston. " Gotcha!" Gaston replied. But before they could take another step a group of monsters had appeared blocking their path to the rooms. "Looks like they are a lot of them inside...." Terry said to Gaston. "Then I guess we're gonna have to clean them up!" Gaston replied already charging a spell. As the monsters began to move forward Terry and Gaston, Terry was now in his fighting stance. "Now! Come!" He shouted to the monsters.

And the battle had begun....

Terry was fast as he made a quick roll and evaded the oncoming swipe of the monster and countered it with an upper slash. "Hey be careful with your magic we don't want to destroy this place!" Terry called out to Gaston who had finish his charging. "I know that that's why now is the right time to test out the magic that I had practiced before." When he said this he begun to chant some words. "Heaven's judgement, thunder roaring make my enemy see death.calling forth Thunder Knives!!!" at this said a blue light began to form above Gaston's head and in an instant became blue glowing kunai's and at high speed impaled themselves into two oncoming monsters electrocuting them to their death.

"Nice!" Terry complimented. But the battle is far from over as there are five more standing. Terry knew that and turned around to face the five. "Guess all of you are going down." When he said that he began to say words. "Enchanted sword...imbue the heat of flame!!" He shouted as his sword began to glow a soft orange to blazing red. "Taste your demise foul beings!" He said as he began his attack. The monsters followed his attack, but he evaded them and continued his assault, slashing one in the head and an upper slash to the other. "Flame Swipe!" He shouted as he made his attack on the last three. After the monsters are taken care off they began to continue their search in the inn.

"The people here.....all of them....dead??" Terry looked disraught. They decided to go back down and head to the Academy when they heard someone crying. "Hey! Terry did you hear that?" Gaston ask Terry. "Yes, I heard it and it's coming this way!" He replied as they headed to the direction of the noise. When they got there they found a little girl crying in a corner. " This must be the innkeeper's daughter....poor child." They both thought as they remembered the cheerful little girl they saw besides the innkeeper. Terry approached the crying girl. "Hey....let's go it's dangerous here...." Terry gently said to her. "Papa....Mama.....where are they????" The girl answered while sobbing. "I'm sorry......but you parents.....will not be coming with you anymore...." Gaston said solemnly. "No papa....mama are not...not...." She began crying until she became tired and had fallen asleep. "Let's bring her now..her parents will be mad if we don't save her." Gaston said to Terry. "Yes, you are right...." Terry replied as he carried the girl in his back. They made their way in the main streets and was now heading towards the Gariland Academy.
