Chapter I
The Man of Mystery
The woods outside of Ram Village was filled with bandits, yet it was not enough to deter Lukas from his goal of meeting with Sir Mycen to recruit him into the Deliverance. He knew that Clive had a reason for his actions, and those actions were what he wanted to understand. Quickly dodging the swing of a bandit's axe he stepped back carefully watching his sides as the bandits fully encompassed him in their circle. Just as one was about rush the young man someone in brown robes with a sytch attacked the foolish bandit in the back. The dead bandit fell face first in the ground, blood seeping from his wound on his back. All who were present looked towards the man you had just arrived with aw. His sytch blade folded into the hilt vanishing from sight, it was then he grabbed the mid section of his staff and twirled it around his body before he held the staff directly in it middle keeping the weapon before him.
Alex held his weapon before in a stance he had seen multiple times when watching the records of the duel against Darth Maul. He had taken some aspects from the Sith lord's fighting style when he had trained to fully master his weapons. Two bandits rushed him, their axes gleaming in the sunlight. Maneuvering his staff he blocked both strikes with one end of his staff. Launching a feint he swung the end of his staff that was blocking towards them throwing them off balance in their rush of panic before quickly pivoting on his left heel and swinging the other end of his weapon into their legs tripping them. Upon hitting their legs he used their prevention of his staffs motion before swinging it in the other direction and whacking them in the face with it. The two men fell to the ground unconscious from the blow to the head, no one moved, the bandits standing still in fear, the boy with the lance in shock, and himself for one reason alone. He was waiting for the next fool to attack him. Then all at once the bandits attacked him, quickly switching his position, he swung his weapon in a manner that made him hold closer to the end of the staff, as if it were a different weapon. He sweeped another two men off of their feet. Then he placed his staff into the ground before kicking off of the ground and lifting himself into the air and holding himself in the air as the waited for him to drop. Applying his aura he launched himself into the air without impaling his hand and landed behind them all. The closest three quickly rushed him at once their blades raised high, ready to split his head open. Giving a battle cry the swung at once only for him to find a hole in their group attack into which he slipped through and struck to of them with a punch each, both fists coated in lightning. Hitting their flesh he burned the men alive as he also electrocuted them to death. The other he he gave a twisted face in act to scare the man, which worked and he immediately pummeled the poor fool to death with one bare punch to the lower jaw. The other men looked towards him, each with a look of pure fear on their faces, causing them to run away in fear, leaving their two unconscious companions behind as they ran away in fear. He placed a hand on the ground as to help right himself and stood up. He walked over to his staff still embedded in the ground before pulling it out and placing the hidden button on it causing the staff to collapse on itself towards the middle. He placed it into its small handle on his belt and turned to the young boy, maybe man and studied him for a few seconds before reaching his hand out.
Lukas placed his lance in a more defensible position as the mystery man who had killed four bandits, knocked two out, possible killed them, and scared the rest off like they were simple flies that he could easily smack out of the air reach out his hand in a simple, yet peaceful manner. He saw the man use magic spells in odd ways, such as using a thunder spell and coating it over his two hands as he punched two bandits to death with a single punch.
"It's fine. I won't hurt you, I'm not that blood thirsty." Spoke the strange man with a rather calm and collected voice. "My name is Alex, and might I inquire yours."
Lukas stared at the man cautiously before speaking. "Mine is Lukas." He stated calmly before Alex continued.
"Well Lukas, I say we stick together for now, after all, there's safety in numbers. What do you say."
Lukas knew he was right, in fact the only reason they had attacked him was because he was alone, even though he had a lance with him. They still had a few minutes in the woods before they would reach Ram Village, and Sir Mycen. "Very well, I accept your offer." Taking Alex's hand he shook it and then proceeded in the direction that Lukas was heading.
It was less than a few minutes before the two men reached the small village and were confronted by five people. One thing they all hand in common was the simple swords in their possession. One boy had was wearing blue armor and had green hair with green eyes as well, the second boy there had white hair and brown eyes and was garbed in a white undershirt with a slight purplish maroon colored shirt with a shoulder pauldron on his left shoulder with striped purple pants and high brown leather boots, third was yet another boy with brown hair and brown eyes, while dressing with a white undershirt and his clothes above that all sharing a tan color, and like the boy before him, he too sported a pauldron, the next was was a boy with black hair and and much darker eyes than the other three, he sported a black undershirt and cloths that were of the color green and had a pauldron over his left shoulder just the the previous two had, the fifth and final was a young girl with white hair and brown, almost hazel, eyes and wore a short peach colored dress with a white apron and a brown cloak with high leather boots.
Lukas kept himself calm before speaking. "I was wondering if I could speak to Sir Mycen?"
