Hey all, sorry about not writing the next chapter for a while. I have been busy with homework and all. Again, I don't own anything except Nord, Norz, and some other characters. If you review with some helpful information, I will credit your pen name by entering it at that chapter. Please R&R. Also, I am making up the weapon that Norz holds. Well call it the...Whispers to the crowd to review with suggestions…. (Trails into thought) I won't update till I get a review also.

means they are doing something or hearing something. The means insert here 

And now, here is chapter 5.

Geoff found Norz at his house practicing his swordsmanship. Norz was doing all these stances and swinging at air as though there were enemies all around him. Knock knock "Come in." said Norz.

"Nice moves Norz, your better then me at it." Replied Geoff as he entered the room.

"I know, that's why I became a warrior and you a druid," said Norz. Geoff nodded and asked,

"You ready to start training outside the city?"

"You bet Geoff," inquired Norz. They both went to the pod and pressed the button. When the lift arrived, they along with a couple travelers got on and pushed the button to descend into Greater Faydark. They stopped by the guards and said hi while passing by.

"Watch out Geoff and Norz, there's a killer in these forests and I wouldn't want you getting hurt." Inquired a familiar voice. Geoff turned around to see Fayfear, her old friend. Even though Fayfear was a few years older then he, they became friends instantly.

"Don't worry about us, if we get into trouble, we will run back here. We were just heading around the hill to the low level fighting area." Said Geoff. All of a sudden, they heard many feet stomping on the ground. They turned to see some decaying skeleton chasing a pair of level one clerics.

"Be right back." Said Fayfear as he went to destroy the skeletons. After the mass of skeletons was vanquished, Fayfear came back and they chatted for a few minutes. Then as they said their goodbyes, Geoff and Norz went around a small hill and saw a lot of skeletons, bats, orcs, and wasps. They saw very few spiders as a master tailor came through the town earlier and was doing jobs for people that had the items needed. They decided to start easy with a bat.

They went up to it and when they got near enough, Geoff started chanting burst of fire, as he shot the fireball at the bat; the bat turned and saw it coming. It was too late though for the bat as it was hit head on by the burst of fire. The bat was injured but not out as Norz headed in with sword in hand. His father had left him a fine steel short sword to use and Norz always brought a sharpening stone and a wet washcloth to clean and sharpen the sword to keep it in tiptop shape. As he swung his sword, it had a slight glow that no one could ever understand. As each swing hit the bat, Norz seemed to grow stronger, as if it was stealing the bat's strength. Don't think that Norz was doing all the damage, no. The bat got in its share of strikes.

Not to worry though, as Geoff had been healing Norz when he had the time. When the bat fell, Norz pulled out his globe of water, washcloth, and started to clean his sword. He didn't know why he had a strange attraction to the sword but ever since his dad gave him his sword,

Norz kept it in perfect shape. The thing looked as if it were brand new! After Geoff was done looting the body, Norz had just finished cleaning his sword. After washing the blood out of his rag, he put them away and sheathed his sword. They went in search of something else to kill when they stumbled upon a lone skeleton. They jumped in with Geoff casting Burst of Fire on it.

Norz had trouble though as he could not hit the skeleton. The anger grew and grew inside of him until he finally stopped and screamed in anger; he went into a fighting frenzy and was slashing at twice his normal speed. When he finally stopped slashing the skeleton, which was now just standing there with its usual grin, just stood there for a second until it finally crumbled to dust. In the ashes, they found two bone chips, which they collected and headed back to town.

They sat there meditating until they were fully healed, and re-energized. Once they were, they set off again to train in the wilderness of Greater Faydark. They came upon a spiderling and decided to fight it. Norz charged into battle while Geoff decided his attack spell sucked really bad and will just stay back and heal. The battle went by quite fast because Norz had gained in one-hand slashing. After the usual sword cleaning and sharpening, they stalked a few more spiderlings. They were about to go to the town and sell their collection of spiderling legs, eyes, and silk when...
