4. Chapter 3

Ch. 3

Pleasant Valley wasn't that far from Black Mage's house. It was only through the unenchanted woods and over happy hill. It was a two-day journey for any normal traveler. Sadly, (depending who you are) Black Mage was not a normal traveler. Having decided to take a "Black mage brand shortcut" the long journey took only half a day. Although this shortcut entailed blasting a hole through from his front door to the Pleasant valley, and destroying countless homes and habitats. But Black Mage was the bigger man, so he bit the bullet and did it, all to make this story a little shorter.

He met many angry people and animals, but Black Mage was not bothered for long, because they ended up with either as smoldering piles of soot, or with countless numbers of stab wounds in their heads, backs, and other vulnerable areas.

At the end of his brisk walk of a journey, Black Mage took a short rest at the top of the valley. When he had rested, he looked around. "What a strange place to put 'The Gates of Hell'"

He was right. The name "Pleasant Valley" suited this place. There were rabbits rambunctiously romping, and butterflies blissfully butterflying. Black Mage felt that he could stay there forever. He lay down, looked up at the sky, and he could feel his eyes closing.

Suddenly, Black Mage jolted up from his grassy bed because he heard rustling from behind a nearby bush. Two vines grew from the base of the bush.

Thinking quickly, Black Mage jumped back and shot two shafts of fire at the vines, which quickly shriveled up like burning hair.

He was brought back to earth by two more vines from behind him. He launched two more shafts, this time more powerful. The vines swiftly burst into flames, and the bush exploded in a small white flare, and in its place, was a small green imp. It jumped out of astonishment, then ran towards The Gates of Hell yelling " OH CRAP! He's here! Gotta warn the boss!" but in a high squeaky way.

Black Mage's jaws dropped in surprise, but he picked himself up, and chased the imp. "I guess this is the right place then…" Black Mage said to himself.

Off in the distance, a rabbit in a coat said to himself after seeing two running figures "And I thought I was hurried!" then pulled out a pocket watch, inspected it, then hurried off saying "OH! I'm late…"
