By Hdogg
Told by Larry Sage, The Mighty Barbarian
The Burial Ground! (Mo: EEK! I AINT GOING THIS TIME I REALLY MEAN IT! Larry: ::evil smile:: Lets see…where did I leave me club? Mo: EEKK!!!)
Note: Well, Mo came back but in shreds…but wasn't she in perfect a few moments before she re-entered camp? Or could that have been someone else? What is my mind thinking? Well, lets find out.
Onward to Victory!
~*~*~
The second day after I had found Mo was late and coming to an end. Mo unconscious still but in stable condition. I was sitting on the ground next to her, while the others held a conference. They were mainly talking about the next quest. The burial ground. 'Man, is that gonna be creepy…' Dru and Jenny were relating their story to the others. I caught some of it, though none of it was interesting.
I ran one of my callused hands over Mo's hair. When I had found her earlier yesterday the whole left side of her face was covered in blood and her right leg was broken.
The worst of her injuries was her left arm. It had been shattered in three places and Akara had a difficult time resetting and healing all the bones. Though thanks to Stu's medical knowledge from our world and Dan's healing aura, she should be able to use her arm in time again. It was in a cast made out of hardened cloth and in a sling Dan had made out of his old punk rock t-shirt.
She had other minor starches and bruises too but none of them proved to be life threatening at all. I replayed what had happened earlier that day in my head.
I was walking outside of the camp after a fight with Danny again. 'What a complete jerk.' I thought wandering around aimlessly.
Only a mile or two away from the camp, I stumbled upon a small gathering of zombies. Without really thinking about it, I crept to rock and watched them through narrowed eyes.
The festering creatures were moaning and limping around. Rotting, unrecognizable clothes hung off their bodies. A green liquid oozed out of sores and down their brown, bloody remains. Muscle tissue and tendons could also been seen in the joints where the skin had torn. Flies hung around the bodies, laying their eggs in the rotting tissue of the zombies.
My mouth twisted into a snarl as some unrecognizable hate arose within me. I took my sword out of its sheath and held it ready in my large hand. I watched for only a minute more then I jumped onto the rock.
Then something strange happened. I raised my hands above my head and brought them down in a mighty heave. A gust of wind, almost like a tornado, blew out from all sides of me. I leaped into the air with my short sword above my head. I rose above the zombies and fell right in the middle of them.
I swung my glittering weapon to my left with all my might. The sword sliced through the zombies body with a clean cut. I rose it up and cut off the same zombies head with my sword. Its blood ran down the blade and onto my uncovered hands.
I smelled the bitterness of the blood that oozed from the unmoving corpse of the zombie. A redness seemed to take over any image of the world that lay before me and I began a dance of death.
I whirled my sword to the right and brought it up as I did with the first zombie. The same affect happened again. Then I felt a small pick on my skin. Enraged, I spun around and slammed my fist into the zombies head. Then I brought my sword in for the final blow. I severed its top half from its bottom with my sword.
I stood up panting. The redness slowly faded away and I saw my end result for the first time. The bodies of the zombies lay at my feet. Their blood slowly oozing into the earth, slowly killing everything around their final resting places. Without any regret in the killing I had down, I turned heel and walked away from the scene of death.
I wandered around lost in thoughts, not really going any where. I heard footsteps from behind me. Thinking it was more demons for me to kill, I pulled out my new long sword that I had found and stood ready for an attack.
"Who's there?!" I growled out to the threatening footsteps that continued to approach me.
"A friend. I need your help." Replied a deep voice. I turned around and saw a huge man carrying Mo in his arms. He had to be somewhere around seven feet.
"Who are you?" I asked, ready for action. I couldn't believe what I saw either. The side of Mo's face was a deep shade of crimson red and her leg was twisted in an odd fashion. I wanted to run to her side but I didn't trust the man that held her in his arms.
"As I said before, I am a friend." Said the large man. He had the look of a true barbarian to him and was wearing a jawbone visor. Scars ran deep in his muscular arms and legs. He slowly walked up to me with a slight limp and elegantly set Mo in my arms. I nearly dropped my sword in surprise. He smiled at her and ran his tough hand though her hair.
"Take care of her, I gotta go now. Good luck in the future, Larry. Stay true to yourself and never give up." He looked at Mo, one more time, with a loving look then left, jogging lightly to where ever he planned to go.
Now I had a slight problem. I had a wounded girl in my arms and I couldn't put my sword away without dropping her. I carefully shifted her around until I had her head resting on my shoulder and I put my sword back into its scabbard then headed towards camp.
It certainly went down hill from there. First off with Danny yelling at Stuart about the town portal. Aly, Jen, and Dru staring at me like I'm insane, and Mo was slowly dying in my arms. It was not a pretty sight.
I gently brushed some of her hair away from her face. Her face was beaten and was bleeding from various cuts. "Someone, get Dan or Stuart." I said, pressing a clothe against one her larger cuts on her forehead. "She's been badly wounded." At first they stood there in shock then Aly began to walk away. I could see the tears shimmering in her dark eyes. She stood apart from Dru, Jen, and I for a few minutes, probably trying to recollect herself.
Eventually she turned around and half yelled half sobbed. "Mo!" She rushed to her friends side. "You stupid baka, what'd you do now!" She said though sobs. The tears flowed freely down her face. She looked at me. Her eyes seemed to bore into my soul and read my mind and heart. Then she said in a soft, quiet voice, "What happened?"
"I don't know…" I mumbled, suddenly feeling ashamed for some reason. I carefully held Mo in my arms. Danny soon came running up along the path with Stu.
He cringed and shuddered. "Come on lets get her to Miss Akara. She can help us." Said Danny taking over the situation with a firm hand. I just nodded numbly and followed him.
"Miss Akara, we need your help!" Danny yelled upon reaching the tent of the priestess.
The priestess looked out of her tent and her first sight was Mo in my arms. "Oh, dear me. It's happened…" She mumbled then she shook her head and gave me a serious look. "Come, barbarian." She beckoned me to follow her. "Lets get her inside." Akara led me into her tent. It was rather big for its small appearance. "Set her down here." She pointed to a cot on the side of the tent.
I carefully set Mo down there. I brushed some her hair out of her face. She looked at peace in her state though she was probably in great pain. I felt a sharp stab of pain in my heart and I stifled a sob. I looked up at Akara and waited for instructions.
"Go outside and wait with the others. I'll be done soon." She began to pick up things off shelves and muttering things to herself
I nodded stiffly, glanced at Mo, and then slid out the door. I was bombarded with questions but I didn't answer any of them, I just went to the fire. I sat down on an old, rotting log and stared into the orange flames of the blazing fire. My eyes began to water and wiped a dirty cloth that I used as a hanky over them.
Shaking my head, I came back to reality. I looked down at Mo. She was still unconscious. "I hope your okay, kiddo." I mumbled to her. The clatter of the meeting had died down and I concluded that the meeting had ended.
I saw Aly walking over to me.
"Hey, Larry. How's she doing?" She asked worriedly. I had never seen her like this. She was usually bossy, sarcastic, and rude to me. This was a whole new side to her. The side that I probably would never see again.
"I think she'll be okay…How'd the meeting go?" I asked, running a hand over my close chopped hair. My stomach growled. I felt my cheeks grew red and looked down at my hands.
"We're going on the quest as soon as Mo is better." She sighed, tiredly. "I really wish I were home…I don't like it here." She handed me a bowl of fruit. "Here, you best eat. You sound like you need food." She sighed again and looked to the sky.
"Thanks." I mumbled. I slowly popped the little blueberries into my mouth. "I wish I were home too…but there's nothing we can do to get home until we save this world." I sighed and looked down at Mo again. She looked so peaceful…it was almost unreal considering how she could be for the most part.
"Yeah…How'd you find her?" She asked staring at me. Her dark eyes watched with the intenseness of a hawk watching its prey.
"Umm…well, I really don't know. It's kinda a blur." I lied. I knew what had happened. I didn't know what happened to her but I knew how I had found her. Thanks to the mysterious barbarian. He seemed oddly familiar but I couldn't place it in my head.
I shook my head and looked up to the sky.
"Oh, okay." She said, then getting up and walking away. The sun was setting in the west over the horizon. Danny was talking to Stuart about the town portal incident earlier today and Dru and Jenny had disappeared with each other after the meeting.
The bundle of bandages beside me groaned and rolled over onto my foot. "Awake yet?" I asked, gently poking Mo in the side.
She groaned and opened her eyes. She had blue/green eyes that changed at the oddest of times. Right now they were a brownish green.
"Care to sit up?" I asked. She merely nodded. I got a firm hold under her arms and pulled her up to a sitting position.
"Arg…I really hate little blue men…" She mumbled leaning against my leg.
A song popped into my mind, Blue by Europe or whatever it was called. "Did they have blue corvette?" I asked cheerfully, trying to lighten up the mood.
"No…just daggers, torches, and fireballs." She said, now staring at the fire. Her arm wrapped around my leg to hold herself up and she was using it as a pillow. "Those are really annoying creatures, just like the little red demons."
"Carvers…" I mumbled. The name of the little blue demons just popped into my mind.
"What?" She looked at me curiously. Her trademark smile was on her face once again.
"Oh, I think that's what there called in the game. Err…I mean here." I said. I was a bit uncomfortable with her green-blue eyes staring intently into mine.
"Oh." She looked back to the fire and rested her head on her arm which was still on my leg.
"How's the leg?" I asked, carefully pulling a bit of her hair.
"It hurts. Did ya know this is the first I've ever broken something?"
"Really? Interesting." I mumbled just twiddling with her hair and staring at it.
"I guess." She replied. I wondered what she was thinking. Then I thought better of it. She was probably thinking of a way to kill me next.
'I really do hate fireballs…' I thought to myself. The sun had set. I wished I had a watch. I wondered what time it was.
"Do you still have your cd player?" I asked, randomly.
"Uh-huh, I stashed it earlier in the stash box." She replied. I saw that her eyes were half closed and she was still watching the fire burn away.
"Cool," I said without much else to say. "So…what happened to you anyways?" I asked, hoping not to get killed.
She looked up at me. Her eyes questioned my motives. She merely shrugged and started, "Well, after I didn't see you people in the cave of wonders, I walked around for hours on end trying to find a way out." She started sarcastically.
"Hours? You were only missing for 3 hours in all." I butted in, not catching her mocking.
"Okay, fine. I walked around for an hour looking for an exit. When I finally found one, I was in a completely different area from where we had entered." She took a breath and continued, still staring at me. Her keen eyes watched me for any reactions. "I think it was the Cold Plains. I'm not sure though. I found Jen and Dru there too. I stumbled onto the way point and used to logic to figure out how it worked. I told them and they went back but I didn't. I noticed six huge stones way, way off in the distance in Stony Field. My curiosity got the best of me and I went to check it out. I didn't get there though. I was mobbed by a bunch of blue and red demons. I fought as hard as I could but the fates didn't favor me that hour. Something hit the left side of my head and I fell. I remember seeing red, white, then black." She shuddered as she remembered her memory. "I remember strong, comforting arms though. I drank something that sort of helped but didn't really heal me and that's all I can remember." She sighed and put her head back down on my leg. She closed her eyes. She looked so peaceful…like an angel that had fallen from heaven.
"I see…" I mumbled taking in all the information she had given me and watching her out of the corner on my eye. 'Huh, interesting (A/n: Boy do I seem to like that word…it's everywhere!)…I really wish I knew who that dude was, now…' I looked up to the dark sky. The stars shone brightly in their unfamiliar constellations.
"I'm tired, I'll talk to you later." Mo said as she shifted into a comfortable position on the ground. I picked up an old, ratty blanket, since it was the only cover we had in this dreaded camp, and gave it to her, "Thanks, Sage." She mumbled. After a moment or two I heard soft, even breathing next to me. Her side rose and fell with the rhyme of a heavy sleeper. She was going to be sleeping for a long time it seemed.
"Guess I better follow her example." I murmured, preparing myself for a good sleep. I noticed Danny walking over to me.
"Hey." He said, in a hostile tone. His eyes glittered with anger and something else…
"Hey" I answered, glaring back at him.
"Thanks for taking care of her, but you can go and sleep now. I'll watch her." He said, stepping between me and Mo. He had his arms crossed over his chest and was giving me an all out glare of death.
I glared at him then shrugged, "Whatever, I was going anyways." I got up and walked to the other side of the fire. I grabbed another ratty blanket and spread it on the ground. I lay down on the blanket and looked at the sky. 'Hmm…no stars now, bet its gonna rain.' I thought to myself. After a moment or two I was asleep and in my dreams.
~*~*~
Dream
"Stop! Wait!" Yelled a soft female voice. The man from earlier that day turned around and saw what looked like an older Mo running towards him. "Hold on, Sage. Where are you going?"
The man stopped and looked past her. "Away." He replied simply in a deep, rumbling voice. He stared off towards the horizon.
"But why?" She asked, taking hold of his hand. This clearly startled him. She usually took no gestures towards him.
"Because I have to." He replied simply. The young women, who really did look like Mo though only older and what it seemed wiser stared at him with sad eyes.
"When will you come back?" She asked clutching his hand tightly in her small, thin hands.
He looked down at her hands. They were etched with scars from battles and…other things. He took his other hand and put it over hers. "Soon, hopefully. The gods have called me." He replied now looking at her.
The woman was now crying softly. "So, you aren't leaving because of Danny, then?" She asked. Her blue-green shimmered brightly in the dying sunlight.
"No…We made an agreement, for now." The man ran his hand though the woman's long brown hair. He slowly twisted a strand around his figure.
"Please come back in one piece and here," She placed a small, blue tinted ring into his large hand. A small silver chain was attached through the center of the ring. "Take this."
The man smiled and gently kissed the woman on the lips. "I'll be back, I promise." The man unclasped the silver and placed around his thick neck. He let go of the chain and the ring fell down and rested on his chest. He hugged the woman tightly, then turned around and left.
The woman cried softly as she watched him leave.
Another man walked up. He had a strong muscular build to him but was not as tall as the barbarian and was wiry. He also had a small beard. He placed his large, tanned hands on the woman's shoulders. "You know, There are times when I wish I could go back in time and make things up to him."
"Why were you so mean to him before?" She asked placing her small hand on his.
"Because I was a jealous, idiot and I was thirteen at the time. I wanted you and so did he. It's a man thing." He replied watching the sun set. He rested his chin on her head. His soft brown eyes were half opened.
"So I've heard." She mumbled. The sun set and the night took over.
~*~*~
"Raise and shine, Larry." Said Mo, shaking me awake. I flipped over, shooing her off. "You great lump! Wake up!" Shaking me even harder. "If you don't I'll…tap dance on your head!" She threatened shaking me.
"Give up, Mo. He just isn't a morning person." Said Danny cooking some meat.
Stuart was walking up with a pile of water. "Mornin' to you, ol' girl." He said then tripped over my sword. "AHH!!" The pail of water went flying and freezing cold water landed all over me and Mo.
"YOU BAKA!! YOU ARE SO GONNA DIE!" She screamed. She had a demented look in her eye.
"Nice person…" Said Stu, slowly backing away.
"RAHH!!!" Roared Mo, raising her hand above her head. "FIREBALL!" A flaming ball of heat appeared above her head. She smiled evilly then she threw the fireball. It sailed towards Stuart and landed on its mark. His behind. Mo laughed evilly and chased Stu around throwing various items him, including my sword, ice bolts, Aly's new spear, Jenny's katar, Stuart's own dagger, and a frying pan.
"HHHHEEELLLPPP MEEEEEEE!" Screamed Stuart, running for his life. Mo laughed insanely and kept on going. While Mo was on her killing spree, Aly and Jenny showed up with bread. They were happily chitchatting and munching.
When they started to notice what was going on they started to cheer on Mo.
"WA-Who! GO MO!" Encouraged Aly, waving around the bread.
"She's gone insane…" Said Jen, shaking her head, with a hit of a mischievous smile.
"What ya mean? She's been insane from the time since she was born." Replied Aly, handing me the bread. "YEAH!! COME ON MO!! BLAST THAT LOSER OUT OF THIS CAMP!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
"SOMEONE HELP ME!!" Screamed Stuart like a baby. Dru was carrying fire wood to the fire when he got run over by Stu then Mo. All the wood laid shatter about him. Jenny ran over to help him.
"Are you okay, Dru?" She asked helping him up.
"Grrr…Evil children." He growled out, collecting the wood.
"Bravo! You finally found out what Mo truly is." Said Aly, running up.
"She seems well. Her leg doesn't look broken anymore." Dru said, wiping dust off his leather pants. Mo was waving her hands around insanely throwing anything and everything she could at Stu.
Now we all were standing in the same, small area. "Perhaps we should stop them…" Said Danny watching Stu and Mo bulldoze over Kashya. She didn't look too happy.
"They're getting out of hand…" Said Jen. Aly was still cheering Mo on.
"I'll get them." I said. Grabbing my club, I waited for them to run in front of me. First came Stuart. With a heave of my arm I knocked him out cold with a thwack. Then came Mo. As she ran past me I grabbed her waist and held her a foot off the ground.
"GRAHH! PUT ME DOWN, YA GREAT BABOON!" She yelled. Stuart crawled away like crab, while Mo was swinging her arms around trying to knock my brains out.
"Hehe, think your gonna do something there by waving around her arms?" I snickered at her. She growled. I set her down and she kicked my leg. "YOOW!! That hurt!" I snarled jumping back away from her.
"It was supposed to." She stormed off.
'I really don't understand that girl.' I thought rubbing my leg. "Damn that hurt…" I mumbled to myself.
"Well, the foods done." Said Danny, running a hand through his brown hair.
"YAHOO!" Yelled Aly and Mo at the same time rushing for the food. I limped behind them.
"Oh no, it's the food demons…" Said Stuart glancing nervously at Mo. "I think I'll go now and eat my berries." He ran off with a bit of squeak. He was an odd little follow.
"Umm…okay, well, lets eat." Said Danny. He passed food out to everyone. There was something about him that made me wonder. He was acting different from last night and yesterday. He sat down near the fire.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked him, munching on my food.
"Oh, it's you, what do you want?" He replied resting his head on his hands. He looked sad and frustrated.
"Nothing, just wondering what's up with you, today."
I said chewing on my slab of meat. It was quite tasty.
We
sat in silence.
"I had a dream last night." He said after a moment or two.
"Really? Bout what?" I asked.
"About you, out of the people in the world, and Mo." He mumbled into his hands.
"Really?" I asked wondering if it was the same dream as mine.
"We were on decks in a jungle. There was ship in the harbor at the moment. Me and you were fighting, again. Mo tried to stop us but I lost my temper and hit her across the face. She ran away crying. I don't really remember anything else." He said hoarsely. He seemed uptight about the dream. But it was only a dream right?
"I see, well mate, I believe we best go and get on with this quest thingy, eh?" I said getting up, I offered him my hand. "Want some help?" I wondered about his dream but said nothing more on the subject. It was hurting him in ways I didn't know.
"Sure, thanks." He grabbed my hand and I helped him up. "Well lets be going, Larry." He said walking towards the others. He seemed stiff and shaken.
"Come on, you guys," The girls glared evilly at him, "Err, and gals lets go."
"To where?" Asked Mo, her leg was completely healed thanks to Akara and the Sightless Eye or whatever.
"Oh, that's right you weren't at the meeting. We're going to the burial grounds." Said Stuart. He almost seemed happy about this.
"We are going to the WHAT?" Yelled Mo, attaching herself to Danny's arm. "I REFUSE TO LEAVE THIS CAMP. I WILL NOT GO."
Aly sighed, "Oh, yes you are, you baka. You're the one who made me by this game and got me addicted to it like you. Its your fault I'm here, so you ARE coming with ME, kay?" She poked Mo in the side and that resulted in Mo falling over.
Mo stood back up and was reattached to Danny, "Uh uh. No go." We all stared her. I shrugged and picked her up and slung her over my shoulder. "YOU GO BABOON!! PUT ME DOWN!"
"Uh, nope." I patted her foot. "Your coming with us, kiddo." She just growled and kicked my chest.
"Oof!" I grunted. She had nice right kick.
Jenny and Dru were all ready gone and a town portal was up in the camp. "Lets go, dudes and dudetts." Said Danny marching on though the Town Portal. Stuart and Aly went next. Then it was our turn.
"Ready?" I asked. She just growled and hit me. "Guess so." I walked though the TP. It was an exciting experience. After stepping into it, the scenery was all blue and white with traces of other colors. "Oh this is so cool!" I said.
"OH MY GOSH! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Yelled Mo, hanging onto my neck and choking me. Then it all came to a stop. There was an opening. I walked though it and we were in the cold plains. Mo was still strangling the life out of me.
"Let…*hack, cough* …go." I tried to say. She let go and I set her down graciously on the ground.
"Where's my staff?" She asked looking around for it.
"Umm…well, I didn't get the staff when I got ya." I said, then I handed her a new one. "But I found this in the camp."
"Oooo." Was all she said. The staff at runes inserted in it and was a deep red color.
"It's a fire staff." She said waving it around. "Inferno!" A jet of flames came out of the staff and lit my pants on fire.
"OWE!!" I yelled, clutching my bottom.
"Hehe, oops." Said Mo, smiling mischievously. Jen and Dru were chopping away things together while Aly, Stu, and Dan picked up red and blue vials from off the ground along with gold. "Hiya, guys!"
"Hey Mo, here." Said Danny handing her 200 gold pieces. Mo dropped them in her pouch on her waist. I never really noticed what she was wearing until now. It was a green out fit. More her style then the LOD style of clothing. There was a green sleeveless shirt with gold trimmings, green, baggy pants, and a green leather cape. Over her outfit she wore brown studded leather armor. He cape was clipped on the leather. She also had on plain old brown leather boots which her pants hung over. With her shoulder length hair it gave her a wild, magical appearance. The others wore the basic LOD style from the game except the other girls. It was their own style of clothing not the LOD style.
"Hey guys! We found the entrance!" Yelled Jen from across the clearing.
"All right! Good job! Be right there!" Dan yelled back. He started running towards them while Aly and Stuart followed behind him swiftly.
"Do I have to come?" Asked Mo, with a pleading look.
'And people think of her as blood thirsty…' I thought then I remembered why and replied, "Yes, come on, hope on my back. I'll carry ya there. Free ride."
"Okay." She climbed on my back and wrapped her hands around my neck but she wasn't killing me this time. Making sure I held her securely, I started running off towards the rest of the gang.
By the time we reached there they were fighting off skeletons. "DIE!!" Yelled Jen, bashing her shield against the head of one. It crumbled into a pile of bones and dust.
"Steigern mein servieren! Komme und Kampf ALS mich, mein Krieger" Yelled Stuart raising another skeleton. He now had a small army of four skeletons.
"My friends! Come to me!" Yelled Dru, a wolf and two ravens came and started fighting for him.
Aly was having a little to much fun jabbing at things with her spear. "MWHAHAHAHA! DIE!" She said laughing evilly.
Danny was chopping things with his sword. "Bout time you two arrived. Help us!" He said, taking a head off a skeleton turning the skeleton into dust and bones.
"With what?" Asked Mo, still on my back. All the monsters were dead. All that was left was piles of moldy bones lying in piles.
"Nothing…" Said Dan then he looked at me and Mo and demanded, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MO?"
"Getting a free ride." She replied, coolly, resting her head on my shoulder. She sighed.
"Well, get down. We need you to fight." Said Dan glaring at me. I noticed that the hostile look had decided to return in his eyes.
"Okay." She said sliding off my back. "Where are we going next?"
"In there." Jenny pointed to the dark and creepy graveyard.
"EEK!" Shrieked Mo, "I AM NEVER IN THERE!"
"Uh, yes you are." Retorted Aly. She grabbed Mo's shirt and started to drag her.
"Uh, no I am not." Mo replied glaring at Aly as she dug her heels into the ground.
"How much you wanna bet you aren't?"
"My next dinner."
"Okay." Aly let go and walked behind Mo. "March."
"Why should I?" Mo asked. Aly jabbed the point of her spear into Mo's back. "OWE! DANNY STOP HER!"
"Can't, babe. Sorry." He replied smiling. "Let's go!" He marched into the graveyard. "Onward to Victory!"
Aly jabbed Mo smiling wickedly.
"Walk." She said simply.
"I'M GOING!" She yelled running ahead next to Dan. The rest of us followed.
"In there." Dan pointed to a broken gate that led into the graveyard. He climbed though it, followed by Mo and Aly, then Dru and Jen, then Me and Stu and his little army.
"Welcome to my graveyard." Said an airy, sinister voice. "Prepare to join my army!" An arrow whizzed past Mo and nearly hit me. A hideous dead women in red clothing of the rogue style was firing at us with a bow.
"Watch it, kiddo." I said to her.
She just nodded and yelled, "FIREBALL!" And a flaming red fireball flew from her staff and hit a zombie, blasting it into thousand of fiery, charred pieces. She threw some ice blots too hitting various things including me. I was frozen in spot for a few minutes.
"Someone kill, Blood Raven!" Yelled Dan fighting off rotting zombies. Green, moldy blood was splattered on his armor.
"Got her!" Yelled Jen and Aly. They attacked with awesome power by double teaming the evil Blood Raven. An arrow was shot and missed me but hit Dru in the leg.
He gritted his teeth and kept on fighting. Stuart and his army were doing a fair amount of damage by themselves. He was a natural at being a general.
"AHH!" Yelled Jen as the Blood raven shot an arrow that hit her in the shoulder.
"Jenny!" Shouted Dru fighting hard to get to her. Mo was there first whacking at things with her staff.
"Hey, ya okay?" She asked firing a few fireballs at stuff and unfortunately for me a fireball hit me in the butt. I ran around like an idiot trying to put out the fire while Mo chatted with Jen.
"Yes, just kill Blood Raven so we can go home." Said Jen, holding her shoulder as Dru reached her.
"Gotcha." Mo said. "DIE YOU WITCH! INFERNO!" A jet of red flame shot from her staff and engulfed the demon. I was standing right behind Blood Raven when Mo unleashed the inferno. I swung at Blood Raven taking off her charred head with my sword. All the rest of the corpses and skeletons fell down and broke apart. The corpses were oozing foul smelling green blood while the skeletons were piles of dust. A blinding light flew out of the corpse of Blood Raven freeing the tortured souls for the dead.
"Wahoo! We did it!" Yelled Mo jumping up and down.
"Yeah, I guess we did." Said Dan, leaning against a tree. A cut ran from his right eye to his left cheek.
"Dude, are you okay?" I asked him. He looked at me and nodded once. "Okay." Stuart mumbled something and the blue town portal reappeared. "Time to go, peeps." Dru was giving Jen a healing potion while Aly and Mo gathered up stuff.
"Coming!" Said Mo, carrying all sorts of junk.
"Want some help?" I asked her. She smiled and dumped everything in my arms.
"Thanks!" She went back and gathered up anything else useful. "Okay, I got everything Aly, lets go."
"Kay!' Said Aly, hopping up with her arms loaded with junk. Stuart, Dru, and Jen were all ready though the town portal.
"Come on you three. Get in there." Said Dan, pushing Aly and Mo though it. "Your turn." I hopped in to the town portal and went though its wild ride again.
Aly and Mo were talking to Kashya and were giving free gold for their services since they didn't want rogues.. They had dumped all the stuff in a pile. I dropped their stuff there too. It was a beautiful evening. It was early evening and it was decent weather though it was cloudy. I had a feeling it was going to rain tonight or tomorrow morning. Dan was sitting off by himself while Mo and Aly chatted away about whatever girls talk about to each other. Dru and Jen were at Akara's tent getting healed and Stuart was sleeping under a tree in the camp. His skeletons all unsummoned too. It was a good day. Hopefully our luck will stay good and we won't die till were old and wrinkled. I sat down and leaned against a log and stared at the clouds. I smiled contently. It was a good day.
~*~*~
It is a good day? Larry seems happy. What was with the dreams of Dan and Larry? Did Mo have one too? Who saved Mo? And was it really Mo who dropped off all that stuff for the gang? Find out soon for only time can tell.
Onward to Victory!
