He almost disappeared as his black clothing blended in the darkness
of the tent. If it wasn't for his white hair and pale skin...
"Did you ask her yet?" The lady asked, from what HellRaven could see, she was smiling.
"No... I've been kind of busy running for my life... that sorcerer..."
"Take your mind off your adventures, you always do that every time I speak to you about her," She poured a drink of tea for him, "Have a drink"
He took it, cupping it in his hands. He thanked her, then took a sip, "Well, you always talk to me about her when we should be talking about adventures"
"We have spoke of adventures all day, and you have met your adventure. Now I will give in to you, we will speak of adventures for a bit more. What happened with the Sorceress?"
"We were inside her hidden tomb, with plenty of other graves there too... I had a Clay Golem added to our party at the time. The Sorceress then revealed herself to us. You could barley tell that at one time she was one of the most powerful Sorceresses, but, once she fought, you could tell. She was armed with a scepter. She looked weak, and, honestly, I believed she was. Most Undead are when they're... 'fresh'. So we preceded to attack her. I had hoped that if we killed her, then it would be all over before it began. But we failed," he took another sip of his drink, "She destroyed the clay golem with one hit of her spell... and we ran. All the way back. And the Sorceress stayed in her tomb"
"You smart, HellRaven. I would have done the same thing"
Then it was silent for a whie, "Go to Lut Golein, Recruit some men and spread the word of this undead sorceress. The day you return, we will kill her"
"Lut Golein?" he exclaimed, dropping his cup, "That's a four day trip from here! By the time we return, the Sorceress would've killed everyone!"
"Calm down," She began to yell, "I've set you on every adventure I've known! And you complete most if not all of them!" her voice, grew quiet again, "Trust me. Outside, one of our Rouges has a wagon and horse ready right now. It's a One day ride to Lut Golein. She, like the rest of s, understands the severity of this prediciment. If the sorceress isn't dead, then too many people will die at her hands"
"When where you planning on telling me this?" He was happy for the ride, but angry in her stalling, "I come in and you want to talk to me about Paige. Then you say you have everything prepared?"
She laughed, "Just go. And, Lut Golein is a pretty place at night" She winked and nodded to Paige as she guided him out.
HellRaven laughed a small, almost undistinguishable laugh; he was amused as to what she was hinting
* * * * *
Ouside the camp, just around the huge stick walls, was a wagon, a horse, and a new rouge looking eager to go (but the eagerness was also fear of the necromancer, for so many rumors go about around them too).
"Lets go!" He yelled.
Paige walked into view of the rouge, and she climbed up the wagon with HellRaven's help, them both smiling then his smile turned to a frown as She imminently ignored him and started talking to the rouge.
His temper seemed to click on at that moment, as his Skeletons did not come out yet.
"Lets GO!!!" He yelled louder, Everyone became silent and looked at HellRaven. Then they watched three fully armed Skeletons come out from the wall and stealthy climb up and sit down on the wagon.
HellRaven began to climb up and the fell back down as the new rouge screamed in terror, and jumped off her horse, her face almost as pale as HellRaven's skin.
"What? What's the matter?" He said
"T-t-them! What!?" She stammered, pointing to the Skeletons, and falling down on the grass, trying to scream.
HellRaven sighed, and held out his hand, the three Skeletons then turned their heads and looked at HellRaven, "Haven't you ever seen a Skeleton?"
Then suddenly all 3 fell apart, their bones either disappearing or falling off to the side.
"Get into the wagon we must go as quickly as possible" She tried to stand, and walked to her horse, shaking and got on. Then HellRaven finally jumped into the back. Paige was staring at him. Then she spoke, "Nice sympathy. She almost died of fear and all you can think about is Lut Golein"
He sank down in his seat, "Better to die of fear than to die of what will happen if we don't reach Lut Golein" he said under his breathe .The wagon started to move very quickly.
"What did you just say?"
"Nothing"
He was quiet for the rest of the trip, and she comforted the rouge as the camp got out of sight... but so did the sun...
"Did you ask her yet?" The lady asked, from what HellRaven could see, she was smiling.
