Chapter 4
Returning To The Tower
Koh awoke the next morning prepared for the tower. He had dreamt about it and found that it was the best thing for him to do. Koh dressed in the clothes that he had brought the week before and make his way down to the living room.
'Mum. I'm going to the tower.'
'Ok. Here is a Pita bread' she handed it to him. 'Please be careful.' Koh received a kiss from Wreath and a wave goodbye before noticing that Weedy looked very scared.
'Weeds. Do you want to walk up to the tower with me?' he hinted. His sister agreed and followed him out of the house.
'Koh. How can you go to the tower?' Weedy questioned. 'You know that Beldo's curse could hurt you in there.'
'Weeds. It could hurt me anywhere.'
'Yeah but surely it might be worse in the place that he died.'
'What ever is going to happen to me will happen whether I'm in the tower or not.'
'Promise me that you'll be careful.'
'I promise.' Koh kissed Weedy's forehead lightly and gave her a hug. Weedy was very reluctant to let go but knew that she had to. With one last goodbye she watched her brother walk over a wooden bridge as the door to the tower opened. Alone. For some reason Koh had kept Kewne in his bag upon entering the tower. Weedy knew there must have been a good reason.
Koh released Kewne from the bag as soon as he entered the tower.
'Master Koh. Is it wise for us to return today?'
'I don't know Kewne. Although I can be wise, in this matter I don't believe that I can be.'
'Whatever you say master.' Koh and Kewne began to walk around the first floor. Koh was equipped with a gold sword +57 and a diamond shield +42. Both him and his familiar were extremely confident in defeating the weak monsters on the first floor and soon progressed onto the next with Koh's backpack slightly heavier.
The duo continued with ease throughout the tower.
I love having a level 63 Kewne! He can beat everything. So far so good.
Koh was very pleased with himself. He had reached level 34 with no problems and had found many items worth selling. He had also used two red sands increasing his sword strength to +57. At level 35, Koh gave Kewne his last medicinal herb but he didn't mind as he knew that it was worth it.
Koh was very tired when he reached level 38 and so was Kewne. They had gotten into an engaging fight with a Maximum. They won but found themselves very tired and in pain afterwards. Koh walked towards a nearby monster egg not realising that Kewne had stood on a blind trap and had wondered off. Koh picked up the cinnamon egg and continued walking; he assumed that his faithful familiar was just behind him.
Koh turned around smiling. However, he soon noticed that Kewne wasn't there.
'Kewne!' he exclaimed. Koh walked back where he had came from and searched for Kewne. He was unsuccessful and limited his chances by standing on a slow trap. Koh's motions slowed down dramatically and he began to fear for Kewne.
Koh tried to run through the rooms to find Kewne but could only walk slowly. He felt worried; he hadn't lost Kewne in ages now. They were both so used to the tower now that they had visited it so many times. As Koh entered a big room, he heard a noise and he was sure that it was Kewne. He moved his eyes around the room but did not see his familiar; Koh walked closer to a hedge to see if Kewne was behind it. As disappointment swept over him, so did something else. Koh felt immediate pain as something huge swiped his head, forcing him to the floor. Koh looked up to the blurry vision of a Maximum. He raised his sword and struggled to a standing position. Before Koh could strike, the huge monster, forgetting all magical means of battle, hit Koh hard over the head. Koh fell back to the floor and was obviously knocked out.
However, the Maximum was not satisfied. He attacked Koh numerous times, violently. Koh's blood was all over himself, Maximum and the floor. Maximum raised himself for another devastating blow but was distracted by an approaching monster. A Golem walked directly up to Koh's lifeless form and stared at him intently. He then grinned evilly and began to assist Maximum until Koh had many broken bones and blood pouring from everywhere.
Not too long afterwards, Maximum and Golem stopped their attacks and looked down at the damage that they had caused. If they had attacked his head another time, he would have died instantly. Instead, he had severe head injuries and many more wounds on other parts of his blood-drenched body. Maximum and Golem believed Koh to be dead ad walked off to guard the rest of the floor.
Koh was lest there, unconscious, covered in blood and alone. If he had been awake, he would know that he was a few fatal minutes away from dying.
