Ok, time to continue this, lets go! Please review just a little bit more
We were traveling for quite some time. It shouldn't be too long before we reached Frain. I just can only wonder what type of people we'll meet in Frain, who will be the comrades that we will fight with during this mission. And I'm also wondering if I'm actually cut out to lead this team.
Yesterday, took out my father's sword and began to practice with it. It became obvious that I could never use a sword like this, it was too heavy for me. After only 5 minutes of swinging around, I was exhausted. I still don't know what I'm going to do with the sword now that I know about my inability in using such a sword.
At the moment, we're camped out in the desert, but were on the top of a very large dune and can see the village of Frain a few miles away, and I can see the ocean on the other side of that village. I was in my green undershirt, and my gray shoulder pad and chest plate were both on the sand. I suddenly felt a presence in that direction, I don't know if it's evil or good…but it's alien.
Maybe there is someone or something waiting there for me. Or maybe I'm walking right into a trap, but it doesn't matter, I need to find the other two people that will fight alongside us. And so I sleep peacefully dreaming of what awaits us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That feeling. What is this? The moon can be seen from my window at the inn. I see it glaring down at me, as if cursing me for existing. Much like every other creature I've met when they knew of my heritage. I move towards the shadows, where I can keep my peace when I am not wearing my cloak.
I cannot let anyone see me like this. Yes, if someone were to see me, then they would hate me and attack. And yet I am here to try and save them all. Blast my kind heart! I would hate them and then let them die from the evil that approaches if it weren't for my heart!
I sighed, then closed my eyes once more. I could see the image of a girl, in the distance…an elf or at least partially elf. Why does my mind do this to me? I finally fall asleep and await the new day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We finally reached Frain. Oh, what a beautiful day! There are so many people out, kids playing with wooden swords, and so many people bargaining with each other. I wish I could've come here in the past. It would have been such an interesting experience. Well, Dekker, and Lynia seem to be in good shape, and I don't feel very tired.
"Let's head to the inn in order to find our new comrades" I said to them, they nodded and followed me as we navigated through the crowd of people. Once we entered bar that led to the inn above it, we saw many people inside. Most of them were humans but there were a few others. In one table I saw 4 dwarves drinking as much ale as they could take, while another table had a common elf and a few humans around her.
I finally spotted a table with only two people sitting beside it. A woman elf, older than me, with short brown hair. She also had pink armor on and a yellow band holding her hair in place. Her eyes were also an orange color and she held a spear not too far from where she sat. The other person sitting down was dwarf, white hair and long beard. He also had green eyes and a tan complexion, and his axe was tilted against the table.
They were both drinking and were tolerating each other, before they saw me and my two friends. The girl saw Dekker and seemed to begin to scrutinize him, Dekker wasn't fazed by the girl, though. The girl soon asked "Are you related to a guy named Garrak?" That surprised Dekker, but he nodded anyways.
The girl then sighed "Great, if I'm not put in the same team as Garrak, then I'm put in a relation of Garrak……oh well, my name is Leaf, I'm a half-elf, half-human" the dwarf then stood up and walked over to me, he then said "I am Trel, a dwarf from the tunnels near Flame, I'll be your guide of specific enemies and such, god knows how long I've lived and what I've seen, so I hope I'll be of some help"
We soon sat down but I had a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I turned to my right. I don't know why but I felt pulled in that direction. I looked over and began to stare at a pair of blood red eyes. The eyes were on a heavily cloaked person two tables away from me. I could only barely see his eyes, but other than that, he hid himself very well. At least, I thought it was a he, I couldn't exactly tell since the cloak was pretty loose.
Trel noticed me staring at the cloaked person, "Would you like to ask him to sit with us?" he said suddenly. I looked away suddenly and seemed to have an expression of surprise etched into my face. He had a smirk on his face when I looked, I then sighed but stood up anyways.
There was no way I would back down easily to some old guy.
I then walked over to the cloaked man and wondered what he was thinking, as he stared at me with his red eyes. I wasn't nervous, and I felt that this was meant to happen. A sense of déjà vu, and I felt that I knew exactly what I was going to say.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I saw the half-elf walk towards me slowly. She didn't seem the least bit nervous. I, on the other hand, was sweating bullets. I was happy that I cloaked myself completely, otherwise it would have been an even more embarrassing situation.
She stopped in front of me and bent down in order to look into my eyes. Doing so, inadvertently gave me a good view of her cleavage. My eyes widened, and since that was all she could look at, she noticed. She blushed and stood up as I looked away from her.
She then cleared her throat, and I looked at her to show that I was listening. "Hello there, my name is Diney, what is yours?" I felt a bit surprised when she asked me this suddenly, but I mentally shook my head as I realized that why speak to me when we didn't even know each other's names just yet. I nodded my head and then answered "I am Ekrux"
She seemed a little perplexed at the name, I don't blame her. It must have been the most uncommon name on the planet. She then smiled at me suddenly and held out her hand. I didn't understand why but I hesitantly took her hand and she suddenly pulled me up.
She then led me to the table where the rest of the people she was eating with were sitting down. We introduced each other. The other half-elf, Leaf, tried to loosen the hood of my cloak but I gently swatted her hand away. They seemed like a friendly bunch, but I needed to trust them before I took off my hood in front of them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was confused as to why he wouldn't take off his hood, after all, it was blazing hot today. Leaf faked being hurt but quickly got over it as the food began to arrive. "So, Ekrux, do you have a nickname?"
"Krux is fine with me"
I nodded, he wasn't the talkative type. But at least he didn't ignore us and push us away. He probably did have good reason in keeping the hood on, I would respect that, and I would have to advice the others to do so as well.
"What are you doing here, Krux?" I asked, naturally curious as to why a hooded person would be here, other than to travel. Ekrux turned towards me and spoke "I am traveling through here, I'm heading to Jennan, then to Flame so that I may ask for a favor from the King" "Going to Flame? Well so are we! W-would you l-l-like to join us?"
Ekrux looked at me long and hard, the others seemed to be listening to the conversation and weren't eating anything. Ekrux slowly shook his head "I don't think you'd want someone like me fighting besides you…the powers I can use…they are considered……dark and evil"
"So you're a user of the dark arts" Leaf said suddenly as she looked towards Ekrux, to which he simply nodded when he looked back at Leaf. I looked down before I spoke softly, so that only he and I could here "I don't think it would be too much of deal, as long as you help us"
"Give me some time to think it over then" he said as he began to eat slowly through as small opening in the cloak that led to his mouth, although I couldn't even see him chewing on the food.
We continued to eat more, until we began to hear screams of help from outside the building.
I looked over to the entrance, when a human woman in her mid-40s ran in and started to yell about a monster coming in. It didn't take long for me to stand up "Come on, let's get it!" I told the other five sitting in front of the table. But I noticed that Krux was already walking towards the entrance, the rest of them soon stood up and followed as well.
I was the first to reach the outside and I looked over to the monster that was moving this way. It was a large sand-snake, a reptile that can live and travel only in the desert. What didn't make sense was, that sand-snakes were peaceful and hardly ever started a fight. So either these peaceful people aggravated the creature somehow or something was controlling the beast.
Well, either way, I have no choice to kill it. Oh Gods, please forgive me for what I am about to do. "I'll grab its attention and pull it away from the village. Lynia and Leaf, I want you to stay here in order to protect the village with a shield if he gets a little dense. I'll make it up to Dekker and Trel to bring it down"
We then charged to do what I thought would be the fastest way to end this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they ran towards the sand-snake I began to wonder what I should be doing. I could use my sword…no, that has to be a last resort. Who knows how many people know of last owner of this sword.
The dark arts were my only chance in helping them if I wanted to, but the pain it brings me could be unbearable against an enemy like this. Maybe they'll take it out without me helping…yes, they're good enough for that.
I was soon proven wrong however as when the snake caught sight of Diney. The snake proved to be a very fast monster and Diney couldn't keep running away forever. The scales on the beast were also rock solid, Dekker and Trel were lucky if they could get a scratch in. I nodded my head and began to run towards the point where the girls, Leaf and Lynia were standing.
"We should use attack magic, the beast is too strong for weapons" They both looked at me with surprised and then suspicious looks. I looked at both of them before speaking "I understand if you don't believe me now, but please, I can't bring that thing down on my own" they nodded slowly and began to smile.
Why they were smiling? I don't think I'll ever find out. They both began to chant their spells, fortunately the elf knew of a sprit of the wind magic. I began to chant my own spell at the same time.
"Darkness of the demonic oblivion. I command you to use my body, an my pain to destroy the enemy in front of me!" I began to feel it……the incredible pain that courses through my body, every time I use a dark arts spell. They are so powerful, yet they come with a price because they are spells that come from the Falaris, the god of darkness.
But I would not stop now, I'd come too far… "Send this beast to the oblivion where they shall know eternal pain and suffering!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I should have known something like this was going to happen, I kept running away from the snake as it swam through the sands towards me. It suddenly rose up in order to strike me, but then an explosion sounded and it fell to the ground with a thud.
When it got up again, a gale of wind blew and began to surround the snake, I could see slash marks appearing all over it's body. But it still lived and then it looked towards me with hunger in its eyes.
It then stopped moving suddenly, and it seemed as if its eyes began to widen incredibly. Then it reared back and gave a cry, a mix between a hiss and a roar. I saw a red aura begin to surround the beast. I yelled out more, before a dark hole appeared in front of it.
The snake was soon sucked into the hole, and it could not escape no matter how hard it tried. Once in was inside completely, the hole disappeared. I looked up to see that the sky was red at some point, but now it was the clear blue it was in the past. I then looked over to the village and saw Ekrux.
He seemed to be very tired and was kneeling down in the village entrance. I quickly ran that way in order to try and help…a dark arts spell took a large amount of pain, he would need some healing.
It didn't take long for me to reach him. I then knelt down before him and tried to look into his face. Well, I tried to look at his eyes. And when I did, I saw exhaustion, depression and…happiness? He was happy? But why?
I kept looking into his eyes, as Lynia and Leaf continued their healing spells. He kept looking back, we stayed like that for quite some time, until Lynia spoke "There! That should have healed you up completely"
I saw Ekrux begin to stand up but he seemed to be stumbling, so I began to help him get to his feet. His eyes showed me that he was grateful. I smiled in return and the whole group entered the village once more. Upon reaching the inn, we all took a seat besides the same table and we had our ale and our food. I was in the mood for celebrating, the team defeated their first enemy since joining together. I don't know when, but at some point I felt as if I overdid it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh lord. Can't even try to hold her own liquor. There she lay, bent over the table with a bit of drool coming out of her mouth, but with a content look on her face. I shook my head, what an energetic girl.
I sighed as I bent over and picked her up. I cradled her with my arms and used my chest as her pillow as I began to walk up the stairs towards her bedroom. She awoke slowly, although she began to speak in her drunken stupor. "Krux!! You're gonna come wit us riiiight?" I looked down on her "I don't know…I don't want to be a bu--"
I never got to finish as she suddenly opened my hood just a bit to sneak something in. Her lips. She kissed me with an incredible force, she was serious about what she was doing but it was probably the alcohol that was driving her. I didn't complain though…but when she broke the kiss she looked at me again and said "I would miss you too much! If you were to say that you weren't coming wit us"
And with that, she kissed me again, and then fell asleep. She looked so content, so peaceful. I left her sleeping on her bed, and she never lost the peacefulness that could be seen on her face. As I entered my own room, I fell asleep contemplating my options for the next day. I didn't know what I wanted, or what I was going to do. I looked towards the moon, this time it had a less menacing gleam.
It seemed that the moon accepted me after seeing how I worked to save the people. Is that…how I can…become accepted? Yes, of course…how simple……
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up early for a change. I looked around my room and noticed that I couldn't remember getting here. What I could remember was……staring into deep red eyes……while feeling something against my lips. What did I do last night?
I blushed at the possibility that I could have kissed him…great! I gave my first kiss away, and I'm not even sure if that was a dream or not. I sighed as I slipped out of bed. I quickly changed into clean cloths and put on my armor.
Once I left, I saw Leaf, Trel, Dekker, and Lynia sitting down near the exit of the bar. I smiled as I reached them. Dekker was the first to speak "Morning captain, I'm sure you don't remember much from last night huh?" I nodded and Dekker simply laughed. "You were completely wasted, you need to learn how to hold your liquor" Leaf said suddenly as she began to giggle.
I shook my head and sighed. "Well, that's not what matters…anyways have you eaten because it's time we continued our journey to Flame. What's a checkpoint village between us and Flame?" Trel gave me an answer "That would be Jennan, we'll have to get there in order to re-supply ourselves for the rest of the journey towards Flame"
I nodded and then left the bar with my things. Everyone else soon followed me and we headed towards the village entrance. I was surprised when I got a good view of the entrance. Truly, I couldn't believe my eyes.
The black hooded man from yesterday, the one who saved me by using his dark arts magic, was standing there waiting for something. I stopped in front of Ekrux and tried to see his eyes, just like I had always been doing. He looked up and saw my own eyes. "I've decided…I'd like to join you and your cause if that's all right…….at least until we reach Flame" He said that so suddenly, but he was requesting.
I nodded and smiled sweetly at him, and his eyes showed a bit of happiness as well. His hooded head nodded as I lead the way out of the village and into the desert. We had another long journey ahead of us, but we now had more friends to help in the next battles. I also had another mission…I wanted to know who Ekrux was…I wanted to know why I was attracted to him….and if…he was attracted to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that wasn't too bad. Well, whatever. Anyways please read and review I'd like to add some more publicity to this story. Thank you

The girl then sighed "Great, if I'm not put in the same team as Garrak, then I'm put in a relation of Garrak……oh well, my name is Leaf, I'm a half-elf, half-human" the dwarf then stood up and walked over to me, he then said "I am Trel, a dwarf from the tunnels near Flame, I'll be your guide of specific enemies and such, god knows how long I've lived and what I've seen, so I hope I'll be of some help"

Once I left, I saw Leaf, Trel, Dekker, and Lynia sitting down near the exit of the bar. I smiled as I reached them. Dekker was the first to speak "Morning captain, I'm sure you don't remember much from last night huh?" I nodded and Dekker simply laughed. "You were completely wasted, you need to learn how to hold your liquor" Leaf said suddenly as she began to giggle.
I shook my head and sighed. "Well, that's not what matters…anyways have you eaten because it's time we continued our journey to Flame. What's a checkpoint village between us and Flame?" Trel gave me an answer "That would be Jennan, we'll have to get there in order to re-supply ourselves for the rest of the journey towards Flame"
I nodded and then left the bar with my things. Everyone else soon followed me and we headed towards the village entrance. I was surprised when I got a good view of the entrance. Truly, I couldn't believe my eyes.
The black hooded man from yesterday, the one who saved me by using his dark arts magic, was standing there waiting for something. I stopped in front of Ekrux and tried to see his eyes, just like I had always been doing. He looked up and saw my own eyes. "I've decided…I'd like to join you and your cause if that's all right…….at least until we reach Flame" He said that so suddenly, but he was requesting.
I nodded and smiled sweetly at him, and his eyes showed a bit of happiness as well. His hooded head nodded as I lead the way out of the village and into the desert. We had another long journey ahead of us, but we now had more friends to help in the next battles. I also had another mission…I wanted to know who Ekrux was…I wanted to know why I was attracted to him….and if…he was attracted to me.
