Theme song: Red XIII theme, Final Fantasy VII
"Hello?" Max shouted as he entered Henesys, "Is anyone there?"
The slime bounced around. It made a high pitched howl as it jumped around.
"HELLO?" Max shouted with all his energy, "I guess there are no survivors." He looked at the buildings, "I shouldn't have expected anything less. Completely destroyed,"
The slime made that awkward high pitched howl again but this time it came towards Max. The slime dragged a rather beaten up orange mushroom.
"Is it alive?" Max asked the slime.
The slime nodded and pushed the orange mushroom toward Max.
Max touched the hood of the mushroom. He glanced over to the ruins of the potion building, "Go get some water. I'll go get a potion."
Max rummaged through the ruins and produced an orange potion and a blue potion, "Good," He brought the potions back and poured the contents into the orange mushroom's mouth.
The slime poured water onto the orange mushroom to wake it up.
The orange mushroom looked up and shook its head. Max looked into its eyes, "They're the same as the slime. They're defeated." Max sat down, "We've been traveling for a while. We should rest."
The slime nodded and sat next to him. The orange mushroom looked at Max.
"And to think," He looked at them and smiled, "I used to think that monsters like you were worthless and I had no guilt killing you." He glanced into the vanilla sky, "But now, you're probably the thing that means the most to me. I'll tell you more of what happened in the war…"
Silver glanced at the monsters that crossed her path, "I've never seen these things before. Can I kill one?"
"No Silver," Cutter sighed, "It might be strong and we need all our strength to fight."
They suddenly heard booming sounds and deep, brute voices.
"Get ready," Max held out his staff. They hid behind trees as Max reached out his staff to pull down the bushes.
Cutter stuck his head out, "I don't see anything." He walked into the open grass, "There are ruins and a few of those green blob things."
"Look out!" Silver shouted.
An axe came down on Cutter. A giant green ogre stared at him. He quickly leaped back and slashed at it. His sword barely chipped the flesh, "What is this?"
Max pulled Cutter away. An army of those green ogres flooded the field.
"Are those the Ragnarok fighters?" Cutter asked with a hint of fear.
"No," Max ran in the opposite direction. They both followed, "They are monsters called orcs. If you thought they were tough," He shook his head, "The warriors they send out can kill them in one attack."
Silver gasped, "They aren't human."
"Demi-human," Max stopped by a giant tree, "They're demi-human."
Silver nodded and sat down, "That explains a lot." She looked into the sky, "We shouldn't have separated from the group. Together we are strong."
"Damn it," Cutter punched the ground, "I used to think I was strong."
Sounds of heavy footsteps filled the air. Max, Silver, and Cutter immediately froze on the spot.
"The orcs? Cutter wondered.
"No," Silver replied, "The footsteps are heavy but they are fast."
Max bit his lip in fear, "One of them sounds much heavier but the other two seem pretty light." He gasped as he heard voices talking.
"I don't want to fight them. I had a harder to killing zombies." They recognized that the voice was a girl's voice.
"The new king wants us to fight. I say it's useless. Their land isn't that good." They recognized that voice to be a man's voice.
"They assassinated our first king." A deeper voiced man interrupted, "We should kill them for that."
"One mistake," The girl replied, "It's just one thing."
"I just hate them." The deep voiced man announced, "Why do you think the king wants us to throw them in a dungeon first?"
"Who knows?" The girl replied, "I don't even like this king."
There was a pause in their conversation.
Max felt a chill run down his spine, "Did they notice us?"
"No," The man with the regular voice stated, "Don't,"
"We have to." The girl replied with the sound of insecurity.
The tree Max leaned on immediately broke. The man with the deep voice held a giant spear over the broken tree stump.
The girl lifted her hands, "Root!"
Silver, Cutter, and Max all gasped.
"I…" Max panicked, "I can't move!"
The man that held the spear took the butt of the spear and bashed it into Max's head. His vision spiraled but soon darkness engulfed him.
Max yawned. He turned to the sleeping slime and orange mushroom, "I better get to sleep too."
