Chapter 41: The Darknes Returns
Little Hood was now redy to face his final challagne to restore honour to the thiefs guild and tis is to retrun the seklinton key but is not doin this as tey ned it for teh musem. So they ned to make a repicalar to give to noctenral and tis is a simple mater as tere is machine tat makes replicas in the musem it was just a mater of usin it to mak the fake skeligonton key.
Hogni the Furious and Little Hood met up to comeplte this task and they met at the safe house witch had tis machine and tey were just about to do it whent Unra Stoneheart came in and say "Psst You dont tink that Noctanl will fool for just any repicla do ya? It wil need moar thant that to trick a goddess luckliyt you hav mah halp in this task".
"What are yo gonna do assissn?" axed Hogni and Unra Stoneheart and an answer redy "I no dark magic arts and I am power mage as well as assin. You dont think I know some real dark magic rites that can realy perfect this replica. Wil can make it do almost the same thing. Come to mah Dark Tower and we can impue it wit stuff that wil make it a true repilca. Wit that we can real pull this off"
"An what makes yo think you can do tis?" qustioned Little Hood and Unra Stoneheart say "Who konws the Dedra betar than I do? Not many I hav bean colecting dedra artifacts and have given suplys to musem and I hav done many cult activity and sacrifcies and know how to even use them for my powar. The Dedra and I are liek lips and teeth. So who cold betar help with the task?"
So it was agred and Unra Stoneheart warped Little Hood and Hongi the Furious to her Dark Tower and made the replica pefrected and this involved obscure ingretiants, a dragon sole, human soles, dark engy and dedrea harts all folowed by dark unholy evil riutals that would mkae evan Lovecraft shiver.
So it was done it was dark business but worth it for the Musem and tey had a perfect repilca that can do all the selkinton key can do. It would fool evan Nocternal and so it was for Little Hood to complet his quest and bring honor to the thives guild while at the sam time being a betar theif and such than Mecer Fray and Kalilath put tohether.
So all thre traved to the the Twlight Speicure or watever its called to finished the deed. Unra Stoneheart used spel to telaport them to Falkthreth the nearest city and form they the traveld the miels long road to get to the palce. Witch was gaurded by giant boars and tree pepole and mages who were havin a war over somethin.
The ents Unra set on fie with magic fire and the gaint boar Hogni slew. Then as tey neared the entrace a Dragon came and it was for Unra and Hogni to fight against tese mosntars while Little Hood entared the Twlight palce and compelte the mison on whic he was set.
Little Hood entared the dusty main chamber and saw a goast it was gohast of Gallus and it spoke to him and told Little Hood that he has bean wating for him as he Gallus is the las of the Nightingale Sentanlso gaurd the place and the rest had asll died out. Than Little Hood sayed "honored Gallus I have hard much about your deeds but fear no moar for Mecer is ded and I am hear to retrun the Skelinon key"
Gallus was amazed at this and Little Hood told him that hed did it for the good of the pepole and Gallus was evan mao amzed at how how much of a noble hero of the pepole Little Hood is despite the fact that is another thief and it made Gallus pleazsed. Yet Gallus told Little Hood that his gaost from id dieing and leik the over Twlight watchers.
So Little Hood came to the first test witch is
Test No. 1
This test had several of those gaosts dudes just leike Gallus but these guys are bad adn want to hurt Little Hood wit there Arrows and Boews but Little Hood can shot fastear ad he fire fast arrows and doge the arows some of witch were dederic and overs evlen and some evan explsovie. Tere were evan firin gaost arros that cold got thought walls. Little Hood did epic stunts and fired fast his mighty arrows killin the gaosts and some times he evant fired 3 arrows at ocne kilin at a fast rate. THan it was
Test N0. 2
So after al this Little Hood flowed a coridor and cmae to a lighted room that was real big and had no badies in it. So Little Hood thinked this was ok but than he put his right foor in from of his left foor inorder to walk into the light and teh lite burny his foot and it hut lik pain. "I guss I hav to avoid that lite cause it burns" Little Hood thinked and came up with the claverist of cleaver plans. He was used hookshots to graple on to over sides of the ledges that were not in burning lgiht and avodied al the light spots and stayed in the dankness. Another simple test for the mast theif passed it was nao the next one.
Test N0.3
This was a stute of Noctenal and it was surroned by fire and tere arr two leaver and so Little Hood puled both of them and it opned the door and put out teh lgiht. "That was easy almost too eaasy" thinked Little Hood then it is Test No4
Test N04
Tere was a moar of these gaost doods that Little Hood must fight and so he did swashbuckling action man against goahst and he fire arrows and whent they tired to fire arrows at him he blocked them or delfected them or evan shot them down with another arrowed. He also swang form shandlers and for them with raiper. THey kep goin on and on about how none can escape or hide form the dead but Little Hood for them like a pro and he did hide form some and got a expert shadow kil on them. Than he was fightin wit the last gaost cause Little hood took dwon all the overs. They fort liek to cowboys across the hal the gaost shot and arrow and so did Little Hood but Little Hoods arouw destroyed the goast arrow and impalied him in the ectoplasm and kiled the gaost.
TrestN5
So nao it was the fainl part Little Hood came to the bigh pit and he new that he had to jump and so he did and fond that he was naow in a new roomed cause the flor colapsed into this one and tere was the slot to insert the Seklington Key and it was this the final test and the tru final test whoudl the repilcate fail or pas it was time to sea.
Little Hood was impresed that Nocternal had mad returin the key so easy and evan havin a slot for it liek in a vending macine. But it was not tim to fink about that now it was the moment of desneit and so Little Hood put it in the machine and Nocteal arose and gave speech to Little Hood say that al this didnt matter and it was his destined role to return the key to her and he wasnt gonna get any preaise or thanks for that.
Little Hood was now evan moar gald that he listen to Hogni and Unra Stoneheart cause that is big thing to give up and they went thoght alot to get hear. Anyway so they fake key pased and Noctal whent way and Karliah apear out of nower.
She told Little Hood that Nocteal was pelased thou Little Hood dint think so but anway afters som talk abot Noctrals Personality it was tim for Little Hood to chose his Twlight Powar and was choice beteen tree powers and Little Hood cohise the invabltiy powar one cause that sutits him. Karliah than told him that she was welcome back in the guild witch Little Hood alreadly new as that had alredy been shown earlyer and that soon they wil begin the greast crime spree evar.
So now ti was time to go but before he cold contune Karliah and Gallus had heart feltfairwell that was like romance novel and that tey would imbrace in eth afterlive. Little Hood was anoyed at this but did not show it cause he thinked that Karliah was gonna be his maid maryan but if she still wants only Gallus and have gaost sex with him insted than Little Hood isnt gona get any action form her. Though she did tel him some infor about Theif after life.
Karliah told Little Hood that she is gonna bee in the nightingale hall if he needs her annd some time shes goning to steel some tings form citys but that was it. So noew Little Hood left via the exityt and found Hogni and Unra Stoneheart had kiled the mages and the Dragon witch Hogni had abosrbed the sole of. Little Hood could not speak of his trails and the fate of guild and hartbreak cause Hogni was picking of Dragon bones and scales to make armored and Unra Stoneheart was too busy chasing a rat around with a meat cleaever.
This is not the ned of the bold adventures of Little Hood and his Merry Men cause there is much stil to do and the Sherrif of Riftem stil wants his hed.
