A Tale of Many an Adventurer- Joe's Story

Chapter 5

Joebushy- Ok, I admit. This story has some mystery. OK, maybe a lot. But, if you like it, my job is accomplished. OK, Let's see what we can see over the sea! (I really gotta stop doing that) Oh, and I just got some new info- Chris's eyes are actually hazel and the name for Jake's occupation is an Elementist. Just wanted you to know!

"C'mon! You don't mean it! It's not that bad! " The team was attempting to get a boat. The sea was rough, just as the weather. " Oh man, why the heck won't some old guy let us give him some money? All we wanted was a boat for six people! I mean, REALLY!" Jake said as they walked away. No one wanted to lend them a boat, one because the weather was bad and two because no boats were big enough for a Lynx.

"We have to build one," Chris suggested. Everyone else agreed. Joe assigned each person to a job. Joseph and Zach were to get animal carcusses for the sail. Jake went to get wood and Chris went into the town to get some rope to tie everything together. Joe was going to train to Blurasp to use it's tail as a motor. Now I'll tell you about what happened.

The team all split up. Joseph and Zach headed toward the hills on the northern side of town. Jake set off southwest, and Chris headed into town. Joe and Blurasp stayed where they were, at the base of the town in the east. The weather warmed as Joseph and Zach headed toward their destination.

"Nothing that I can see," Zach said to Joseph. " Me either. Keep your eye out," He answered. As you most likely know, the two-some was hunting for animal skins. " Wow, this sucks. I hate hunting," Joseph told Zach. Zach said he was completely different. He loved hunting, so this made him feel like he was at home. Then over a small hill came an Imp. A white imp. If you want to know, an imp is a monster with long, crouching legs and long clawed legs. They have pointed chins and pointed ears with some short hairs. Their eyes are yellow and black. Then again, looking at it, they weren't. No, this color was none other then what Joseph and Zach had been dreading deep down.

Then many of the same creatures came crawling across the hillside. " Shoot!" said Zach. " I don't have a gun!" Joseph screamed. " Wow, your really stupid. Just run!" They started running. The imps kept coming. There were thousands of them. " Oh my gosh! How long can we run, and how much room to run do we have?" Joseph asked, although more of a statement. "I don't know. Wait- there's a steep hill. We can't possibly climb it. Unless there's a glitch in the system of this crazy game, we won't make it. Joseph, get a pair of phoenix wing out of my bag, along with pixie dust and snake coil." Joseph did as he was asked, but it was hard while they were running. " Oh, get a bowl out, too. And a potion bottle." Joseph did so, giving the things to Zach in the order he asked. A glowing glider-like thing came out of the bowl- three of them. Zach grabbed one and said, " Liqcufy!" and it turned into a liquid and fell into the potion bottle ( Liqcufy's not really a spell, it's more of an alchmist specialty).

The glider-like things had two phoenix wings on top of them. They were glistening with pixie dust, and had snake coils to hold the two hero's in. "Give me one, quick!" Joseph commanded. Zach handed him one and told him to get in it. They both did, and they started floating high into the air. "What about the animal carcasses?" Zach asked. " What about our lives!" Joseph exclaimed. They decided to head for the harbor, where Joe was.

" Earth!" Jake said. He was in a forest he found on the edge of town, opposite of the Forest of Lynx. He was, as you know, collecting wood for the boat. " Why couldn't Chris come with me? He could help me by using a sword. Wow, is this hard." He had a big bunch of trees over his head, glowing yellow. He had use his levitating ability, Levise, to keep them above his head. He then heard a loud drilling noise. He turned around. There stood a dragon-like creature. The difference between this and a dragon, though, was that this had drills instead of claws. And it's tail was horrible. It was like a chainsaw, but it was letting out sparks. Blue sparks. It started toward Jake. He ducked, but the impact never came. Instead, it jumped up and started drilling the wood. " I know what you doing! Help, please! Anyone!" Then it happened.

The wood fell. It was coming toward Jake. He rolled and it missed him- barely. He jumped to his feet. The drill dragon went up to the pile of wood that almost fell on Jake. It drilled a piece of wood into a long snowboard. It jumped on it, and then it... "What the heck? It's just pretending!" Jake walked over to the creature. He looked at it. It looked at him. It was then that Jake realized this wasn't any drilling dragon. This thing was possessed. It had blue eyes. It then lunged at him. Jake dodged by falling over backward. He looked around for something to use, anything. It only took about two seconds to find something. He saw the snowboard that the beast had used for playing pretend. He decided he would use that as a last resort.

Then it was his turn. He attacked using a mega version of earth, Earthan. Pillars of earth came out of the ground, one after another. The drilling dragon tried running toward Jake. It dodged one coming up to the left, then it jumped backward because one was coming up under it. It went right then tripped. It got up, but as it did, another pillar came up under it. It fell down from the pillar. Then another one came up and hit it in the chin. It flipped over and started sailing downward again. Then it did something Jake forgot it could do. It spread out its wings and flew.

"Now would be a good time to use my last resort, wouldn't it be," Jake said to himself. It flew toward him and he brawled then rolled and got up. It turned around in the air and went for him again. Jake jumped then he spun around diagonally and landed. He ran over the snowboard. He then cast two spells on it. Levise and Unertia. Unertia enabled the board to move forward, backward, left, right, up, and down. A perfect mix of spells for a hoverboard in medieval times. He jumped on it and leaned forward, away from the drilling dragon. Now the Chase was on.

It was coming up behind him- fast. He was in the sky now, right out in the open. The gap between him and the beast was getting smaller. It reached out. Jake descended. He got into the trees. He had to do anything he could to maneuver. He was coming to a dead end- A line of trees so close together you couldn't get through them. Right now, above Jake, there were leaves and branches, all living. Yet looking at the trees blocking his way, he realized the branches were thin and leafless. Dead. This brought up a possibility. " I gotta' go through them," He thought. Once he was almost touching the tree, he shifted his weight to his back. Then the tip of the board pointed straight up. That's been he went. He stopped then went back to being horizontal. The beast followed him. It came up under Jake and attacked.

The board broke in half, and Jake started falling. The Beast flew down after Jake, to bring in the final blow. Then he became shrouded by a beam. A mix of dark and light it brought him towards the two people it was coming from. They were just there, in midair. Instead of a book or a wand, they had swords to expel magic from. " Were you the ones who saved us before?" asked Jake. The two people were still. He lay there, in midair, in front of two cloaked figures. One in a green cloak, one in brown. Jake tried to look at their faces. He stared for a moment, and then a weird sensation came over him. He looked at him self, and the things around him. Then came a blur. It changed from the scenery in the sky to scenery on land. Jake looked back into the sky. He saw the two figures glanced at him, then disappeared into the sunlight. Jake looked to the sky and said to himself, " Thank you."

Then he walked away into the forest.

Chris was walking through town, looking for a shop that sells rope. He had decided to not ask directions, for as soon as he walked into town, people had started starting at him. Finally he found a Hiking Shop, which he supposed would have ropes in it. He walked in and started looking around. Then, as he walked up to a scruffy man that looked to be working there to ask if there were any ropes, the man did something extremely weird. He screamed then ran out of the shop. " That was weird," Chris said as he started walking through the store yet again. But some one answered, and in a familiar voice, too.

" I know," said the voice. " WAIT! YOU'RE HERE!" screamed Chris. " What, is that a bad thing?" said the boy, a little ticked off. " Chet, what's going on here? What are you doing?" Chris asked his friend. " Looking for you," said Chet, " There are wanted posters up everywhere in Kealato. One for you and your group, one for-" Just then, they heard a person speaking, " There! One of them is in there!" All of a sudden, the door came crashing down. Chet moved back, as did Chris.

Chet was a warrior, a master of the axe. He had light blond hair, cut in a crew cut, and light white skin. What he was wearing was a red helmet with horns, along with a red iron vest, red tights and. He was about the same size as Joseph, but maybe a bit shorter. He was into things like camping and cars. But you could really tell that he would be a warrior. He had all the status to be one. " Good," Chris said as he thought of all that.

Joebushy- Hey. I was going to keep going on this chapter, but, unlike chunkypuff3, I'm pretty good at cliffhangers (or so I think)! Oh, and this hasn't been spell checked completely, but it'll happen. Five Soldiers, up next.
