Chapter II
The burning city
"So, why exactly did you saved me back there, were not friends or anything?" Maya getting bored so she just entertained her self by asking questions.
"I have my reasons" Kiel answered, and smiled gently.
A few more hours pasted and it was getting dark. Kiel drop Maya gently and started to make a fire. "We should rest here for the night, if we continue we can be assaulted by some undead" Kiel finished the fire and looked around like his looking for something. Maya quickly turned to Kiel "Undead, what do you mean".
"You mean you don't know about the war"
Maya seems to be unaware of the current events because of the fact that Payon City locked it self from the other cities of Rune-midgar after the old king of Prontera accidentally ordered his army to attack Payon instead of Glast Helm.
"I haven't heard about any wars" Maya is still a little pail after the Big Foot Attack.
"I see, you'll find out all about this war when we get to Morroc City" Kiel pointed to the north.
"How did you know that am going to that direction?"
"I don't"
Maya just starred at Kiel, then lied down on some grass. Kiel just kept watch of the fire.
About half an hour later, the fire was growing weak and so was Kiel's concentration, he was getting sleepy.
Another hour later, the fire faded and darkness filled the camp site of Kiel and Maya. Kiel was falling asleep but suddenly something caught his attention. Something was moving in the deep parts of the forest. He slowly waked Maya up, "We are being assault" He whispered into Maya's ear.
Kiel thrown a knife upwards, that at exact time some thing pass by, it was hit on the stomach and landing right in front of Maya.
Kiel drawn his sword and pointed in on the neck of the unknown figure. "Who are you, and what do you want?" questioned Kiel.
"I am Inccubus, leader of the 4th alliance of the undead; our motives are highly classified and must not be known by any one" said the figure in the darkness.
"Kiel, what's happening here, I'll on the lamp" Maya seems to be sleepy.
"MAYA! NOOO!" Kiel shouted.
At the flash of the light a shower of arrows started raining down on them. Kiel so Inccubus, he was a man with blond hair and have some horns that is pointing downward.
Kiel grabbed him by the neck and used him as a shield from the tidal wave of arrows. About 3 to 4 hundred arrows hit Inccubus in every part of his miserable body, Kiel just thrown him aside.
Kiel grabbed Maya by the waist and ran fast towards the direction of Morroc. As he ran, 4 arrows hit his left arm his waist and two on his right arm. When they were finally safe, Kiel place Maya right by his side, "Maya, are you ok?"
"Well, I got some scratches around my….." Maya suddenly saw Kiel's body hit with arrows.
"Oh my God, are you Ok"
"I'll be fine" Kiel pulled one of the arrows out, it was extremely painful.
"Let me help you with those arrows" Maya offered some assistance but Kiel said
"I can take care of it, it's just a little…….." before Kiel manage of finish his sentence, Maya shoved a bottle of red liquid into his mouth. And Kiel fell asleep.
"You'll never know when a sleep potion can become handy" Maya told her self.
About 2 hours later Kiel woke up with out the arrows around him.
"Maya, what you did that for?"
"I need to take the arrows when you're still asleep, in that way, it won't hurt too much" Said Maya.
"Thanks, but am still wondering if why a troop of undead is in the forest that late at night. Am not wanted or anything." Said Kiel.
Kiel starred at Maya and Maya smiled at him.
"Hey Maya, Are you wanted in one of the cities?"
"I don't think I am"
Kiel looked around then suddenly thought of something. He quickly grabbed Maya's hand and rush towards the direction of Morroc.
From a cliff, the city Morroc, burning right before there very eyes.
