3.Revealed

The endless hills one, bigger then the other stretched out to the grey mountains in front. The tall mountains seemed very close to the travelers, even if they weren't. Every moment the closer their grunties ran toward them, the more hopeless it looked for the quest to find The Forgotten Field.

"We should stop and ask someone for directions." David subjected.

"Ask who?" Sisilia, behind him, waved her hand over lifeless landscape.

"Hold on, let's check out message boards, what if the field was relocated, it's pretty casual." Hestia as usual was with ideas.

I heard my mom entering the room. Quickly I took my sethead off. Just as usual she leaned over and kissed me on a cheek and I hugged her back.

"You've been playing all day already, get some rest," her voice rang, as she walked out of my room, just leaving me there with empty feeling. Someday in a faerie tale, my parents will be together with me. A childish picture came to my mind of holding hands of my parents smiling, together, in Neverland.

I heard the engine start and a car pulling away; I knew where she was going, this time only without me. Why did they have to bring me into this mess? Why did they ever had to divorce and pull me apart. I want to do something, but what can I?

David's eyes have widened, as his grunty, made a sharp turn, sending David up, then falling down, with his nose into the rough ground. Laughing his friends ran to him, checking if he was ok.

"Leaving your character on the move?" James grinned, offering a hand. He pulled David up abruptly. Still looking into James eyes, David noticed. A quick change in his expression occurred. His eyes weren't laughing, but frowning. Stretching out, he stood tall. David turned around.

Three knights marched over, not surprised, not affrays, but proud. "The characters David, James, John and Taylor are currently present with your party, if they'll step forward, and come with us, no trouble will be coursed." The knight with blue eyes declared. A bit of rash ran through out David's body.

"So, what you're saying is, we all should give up, and hand over our buddies over to you. But can't you delete our characters, without executing us? Or you mentally challenged brains, can't understand a babyish program? Or maybe you do not have authority to do so." Hestia spoke loudly and clearly, though she had a soft voice

A bit taken back three knight, in silver armors, drew their swords at once, "So be it, for you chose your fate."

"AAGHHHHH", The Knights yelled as they leaped into the air, confident. Their preys drew their weapons, meeting the blades of Knights with their own. In no time at all the knights were surrounded. David made few slashes, only to be deflected by thick armor. But it didn't look so good for the player killers, none of knights' strikes missed. Just as someone would fall, Jonathan and Sisilia, two wave masters, would put their staff to a job, healing wounded.

All of a sudden, a shock has shaken ground. Lightning came upward, through the yellow stone in Iza's staff. The girl's lips continually moved into a whisper. Her gaze met with one of the knight's, like as if she has given a signal, lightning came from the sky, surrounding the knight. David blinked, and the knight wasn't there. Not even a single trace of him.

But proud knights couldn't give up, desperately fighting. This battle for them, wasn't about some bad guys anymore, it was about honor.

"On the count of three," Brady yelped, "Three!" All those who had swords, pierced two knights. The armor broke, falling into pieces, reveling soft flesh of two knights, cut through with 11 swords and twin blades. Empty data turned colorless and crisped away with wind.

"All right! Group high five," John sang, making all in hearing rage twitch,

"I'll give you anything, if you'll never sing near by me." Brady said in horror.

"How about you wallet?"

"No"

"Your items?"

"Nope"

"A hug?"

"Don't even think about it,"

"Aww come on… I'll start singing again,"

Meanwhile, a bit bumped out, Taylor softly said, a bit afraid of the reaction which might follow, "We could have just ran away and avoided the trouble," but response far from anger, came.

"That was one of our choices," Hestia muttered under her breath.

"But it's just a game, you play it, you enjoy it, and you get on with your life." Tom pronounced.

"For me it's more then a game, it's a hide out," David softly laughed.

"Kinda same for me, too. It helps me to forget about my real life, of all the trouble, and just get a rest." Sisilia sighed. "It's a worry free life for me."

"Get over the chit chat already, we have a whole company of Knights to deal next time." Taylor jabbered.

"Somehow it doesn't bother me one bit." James replied.

In a while, after discovering that the field wasn't relocated it was still there, their journey resumed, and again was paused. David's grunty again ran in unknown direction.

"Leaving his character on the move again," James grinned.

But David didn't leave, he was still there. His eyes were set on a girl. She had white hair, and worn white dress. But the strange thing about her wasn't her appearance; she was floating a foot above the ground. The girl giggled as David stopped next to her.

"My name is Aura, do you need some directions?" Her voice echoed. She leaned to the side, floating to the right. "Look over there," Aura waved her hand to the other side of the hill.

It was there the forgotten field. David turned around to thank strange girl but she wasn't there, just a shimmer was left.

A bit shocked, David shouted, "Hey guys, I think I found it!"
