Chapter 2: Surprise
H'earring brought Kaz into Chaor's castle. There he finds Takinom and Agitos waiting for him.
"What's going on here?" asked Kaz.
"I'm afraid Chaor has been- kidnapped." Agitos answered.
"What! Chaor been- by who?!" Kaz didn't like what he was hearing at all. His favorite creature has been kidnapped in Perim. Then he thought about what the mystery guy told him to do. Port to Underworld City! Hurry! The man's directions were clear, but how did he know his screen name and why would he tell him this just to find out that the Underworld ruler has been kidnapped.
"Let me explain." Agitos told Kaz. "You see, Chaor wasn't in the best condition before he was kidnapped. All we know is that he became ill after a meeting with an Underworlder and he was gone when we went back to check on him. We first thought it was one of Lord van Bloot's schemes, but then we found this." He revealed a letter. It says:
Dear Coward,
I have Chaor in my care, but I won't give him back to you that easy. Unless you come out of your hiding spot to fight me- you won't be able to see him again. You might get lucky and get him back, but you're most likely having his body.
Your fiend,
The Enemy
P.S. Time is in the essence so you better hurry.
"This doesn't make sense?" said Kaz. "It sounds like someone is using him as a lure to find someone."
"Exactly," Agitos explained," the letter seems to prove that Van Bloot is innocent yet he could've made it. We can't send him to The Pits if he does have proof of innocents."
"You'll be the only one to know about it, alright?" Takinom asked.
"One more question, why did you sent H'earring to find me?" Kaz questioned.
"You Chaotic players can port around Perim instantly." Takinom answered." Maybe you'll find Chaor, or even his captor, faster than we can."
"But it will take some time either way." Then Kaz thought about the figure. He told them," Before I got here, there was a figure who told me to come here. He had a brown cloak and, I think, a white mask. Maybe he knows where he is."
"That's a possibility." said Agitos.
"I better go find him then." Kaz said. "Or at least try to."
"I hope you find him, Kaz." H'earring told him.
"So do I." he replied as he ported out of the castle.

It took some time for Chaor to wake up. When he finally did, he found himself upright and against the back wall in a dungeon like room. Strong, heavy chains are around his wrists and ankles with enough length to sit up and lie down. These chains are pinned down on the hard, rocky wall behind him. The last thing he could remember is lying in bed feeling hot and tired. Then the room started the spin then he passed out.
Chaor thought, how did I get here in the first place?
Then the wooden door in front of him creeks open. A figure with a black cloak and mask emerges from the open gap. Chaor threw a Flame Orb at the figure, but it burnt out before it even reached its target.
"What's wrong, Chaor?" the figure asked in a villainous manly voice. "You're not so hot anymore."
"How did you know my name?" Chaor asked. He wishes he could punch or attack him right now, but his body felt too warm and he's too weak to even stand. All he can do now is try to get some answers from this man.
"You're the leader of the Underworld and I knew you when you were a puny child." the man answered. "Did you forget? Does Dimiz ring a bell?"
"I never heard of him." Chaor said. Then he felt suddenly weak and in pain. He lay down on his side onto the floor. The pain left, but he felt too tired to get up.
"You fool, I am Dimiz." Dimiz scolded. "Let's just see if he'll come for you."
"Who?!" yelled Chaor. He's getting tired of the guessing game.
"You'll see him the next time you wake up, if you're lucky."
As Dimiz left the room, Chaor did one more Flame Orb on him. It burn out, like it did before, as he approached the door. As soon as he's there, Chaor fell fast asleep due to his condition.
"If he doesn't get you then the Kintu poison will." Dimiz said as he closed the door behind him.
______________________________________________________________
Hmm, this is weird. It seems like this Dimiz guy wants somebody to get Chaor, but who? I wonder who Kaz will find him and if he'll find him on time.
So who is Dimiz looking for, how did he even poison the mighty Chaor, and will Kaz's friends find out about this? Find out later.
I hope every reader here likes it so far and that I'm doing this right (no weak sounding characters, right?). Like I said before, I did this story on the Chaotic forms (Fan Fiction section), but I changed and cleaned up some parts to this story. Otherwise, thanks for reading.
