Elvengirl10: Okay, I am back!!! I know, I know, I've been gone for what
probably seems like ages. Well, I kept forgetting to update whenever I had
a chance to go on the computer and then I was away for a few weeks so yeah.
Here I am with the next chapter.
Reviewers:
Sword of Seals: You're very right. It does get better. Much better. And yes, Captain Jack Sparrow does come in. Thank you for reviewing.
Chapter 3.
They had managed to conceal themselves in a nearby cave that was somewhat out of the way. During that time there was much deliberation over what to do next. Ephidel knew he had to get the children to Valor as soon as possible.
"To bad there isn't another port city," said Leila.
"Maybe we should get reinforcements," offered Linus. A/N: Don't know why, but I am all of a sudden reminded of the reinforcements used on paper. There's my brain again
"No, that would take to long and I've wasted enough time as it is," said Ephidel.
"I guess all we can do is wait then," said Elbert.
"Jaffar, do you ever wonder how you always wind up on sentry duty?" asked Lloyd.
"...."
"I mean, you were on it last night, this night, and come to think of it, the night before last."
"...."
"Don't you ever get tired of it?"
"...Lloyd, shut up. I think someone's coming."
"Where?"
"Right there," Jaffar pointed to a black shadow moving through the woods.
"Do you think it's friend or foe?" asked Lloyd.
"I don't know, but I'm not taking any chances," said Jaffar, drawing a killing edge from his belt.
"Well, well, well, what have we here? A couple of rouges hidin' from the authorities?" said a voice. Jaffar and Lloyd turned around. They found themselves facing a band of pirates. Obviously from Badon. Lloyd drew his sword.
"Oho, think you can take us ,eh? Tougher than ya look. Very well. Let 'em have it mates," yelled the pirate leader, and brandished his axe. They charged. Three went down by Lloyd and two by Jaffar.
"What was that?" asked Leila, looking up.
"What was what?" asked Ephidel and Linus together.
"I think something's going on outside," Leila replied.
"Ah, Jaffar and Lloyd are under attack," said Nils.
"So many enemies," added Ninian. Ephidel and Linus looked at each other. Linus drew his light brand and the two of them ran out.
"Leila, you're in charge here. We'll be right back," yelled Ephidel.
"What took you so long," said Lloyd, when Linus joined him.
"We didn't know," Linus replied, cutting down a nearby pirate.
"Ephidel, we have a problem," said Jaffar.
"What?" asked Ephidel, as he cast a dark elfire.
"The pirates aren't dieing."
"What do you mean, 'not dieing'"
"I've cut down at least 20 and they've all gotten up again."
"That's not right. Anyone whose been struck by you shouldn't be getting up again. Unless...."
"Unless what?" asked Lloyd.
"Unless...."
"Ephidel, elaborate please," yelled Linus.
"Unless, these pirates are cursed," said Ephidel.
"How right you are laddie, how right you are," said the leader, stepping into the moonlight. Immediately he truned into a skeleton.
"I hate it when I'm right," said Ephidel.
"You put up a great fight, but now it's time we left, but not without a prize of course."
"Help!!! Someone please. Help!!!"
Ephidel turned around, only to see Ninian being carried off by the pirates.
"A pincer movement. These are some smart pirates," said Lloyd, amazed. Ephidel ran after the pirates.
"What is he doing?" asked Lloyd.
"Going after Ninian," replied Jaffar.
"He is going to get himself killed," remarked Lloyd.
"Let go of her," Ephidel shouted at the pirates.
"Sorry, but the captain will be pleased with this 'un. Take care of 'im boys." The leader kept walking. Ephidel found himself surrounded by pirates. He fired spells left and right in a frantic attempt to save Ninian. Unfortunetly, he didn't see the one pirate sneak up behind him and slash him in the back with his axe. Ephidel fell over. The wound had sapped most of his strength. He fainted.
