Road To Ragnarok – Chapter 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a month since Rachel and Jeffery arrived in Geffen. Daniel kept on teasing Jeffery that he loves Rachel. Luna asked Rachel so many questions about her life in Prontera while Rachel had to go through her skills.
On a Saturday night, everyone was busying eating dinner. Luna had cooked Shepherd's Pie, Stirred-fried long beans, steam tofu with soya sauce and spring onion, and white rice. It was delicious.
"This is tasty," said Rachel. "You are a great cook, Luna."
"Thanks," replied Luna. She put down her spoon. "Now, let's get on to business, shall we?"
"Huh?" Rachel and Jeffery said.
"We can't let the two of you stay here long. It'll be about time before the others find out." Said Daniel.
"Yeah, so I'm asking the two of you where do you want to go," said Luna.
"Well," Jeffery was at a loss of words. "We just want to leave Prontera, we don't have a goal yet."
"Ah, traveling huh?" asked Luna in a wheezy voice. "Daniel is leaving for Morocc tomorrow. Do you two want to go with him?"
"Why Morocc? My History text book said that place has a loads of Thieves," Jeffery rolled his eyes at Daniel.
"The Mage Guild asked me to investigate over there," Daniel growled. "Apparently a few Assassins had captured one of our colleagues."
"Speaking of Assassins…" he turned at Rachel. "I think you'll find your friend there. There's a possibility that she's still alive."
"It's settled," said Luna. "You two will leave tomorrow." Jeffery and Rachel nodded.
"Thanks for your help, Daniel and Luna," said Jeffery.
"It's alright," replied Daniel. "We better go to bed. It's nearly midnight. Good night everyone."
"Good night."
"I feel so different around here," said Jeffery. Daniel, Rachel, and him were in Morocc. It was a very different place compared with Prontera. While Prontera had many trees and buildings, Morocc is a very sandy city. Most of the buildings were covered in sand. And the sun was shining very brightly. It was very hot over there.
"That's because you are so used to wearing all your armour, Metal Boy," replied Daniel with a smirk.
"Shut up," said Jeffery. But before he could say anything, Daniel quickly took out 3 newspapers and handed them to Jeffery and Rachel.
"Quickly!" the three of them went and sat on bench and took out the newspaper. Before them stood two cloaked figures, Rachel couldn't see their faces and was trying to listen to their conversation.
"Where's the hostage?" asked one of the cloaked person.
"Back at the Guild," said another cloaked person. "He looked very weak to me."
"He'll die if this goes on,"
"Let him be… after all, Magicians are so weak, they can't depend on thems-"
"NO!" Daniel cried. He felt much anger in him. He threw the newspaper aside, while Rachel and Jeffery backed away. "Magicians aren't weak! They are powerful compared to Assassins like you! What you do is only to kill people! Don't you have some feelings?"
"Heh! Another Magician!" said one of the Assassins "I didn't expect that you could enter Morocc… we have only one goal and that is…" he took out his Katars. "People from other places shall die. And you, are alone."
"Hey! You think he's the only one around! Include me! I shall take revenge on my colleague!" Jeffery too, stormed out and faced the Assassins.
"Napalm Beat!" cried Daniel. One of the Assassins felt a impact on him. He then was thrown behind. Jeffery took out his Spear and started to fight with one of the Assassins. It was a big scene. Rachel was hiding in a bush while she looked at Daniel and Jeffery fighting.
"You Magicians are so annoying!" one of the Assassins screamed. He too, was thrown backwards by the impact of Napalm Beat.
"You lose," Daniel said. He muttered some words and shouted, "Fire Bolt!" hundreds of fire shaped bolts came hurling towards one of the Assassins. Suddenly, a white barrier appeared around the Assassin, protecting him from the Bolts.
Another Assassin, this time also wearing a cloak, appeared before them. This time he was wearing a necklace with a deep blue heart shaped pendant, and looked very different form the other two Assassins. The Assassin took out 5 daggers and threw them towards Jeffery.
"What the?" he took his Spear and started to turn it round and round, using it like a Barrier.
"There you are," the injured Assassin said. "I thought you weren't coming." He turned at faced Daniel and Jeffery. "Kill them."
The Assassin with the necklace nodded and then, with a blink of an eye, he charged towards Daniel. Daniel was panicking. He was not able to finish casting his magic.
"NOOO!" Rachel cried. She came out from the bushes and stood there. "I won't let you hurt my friends!" Immediately, the Assassin stopped before her, his dagger right in front of Rachel's neck.
"What are you doing? Kill her!" The Assassin shrieked. But the other Assassin stood motionless. His dagger was still at Rachel's neck. Rachel stood there, shocked and relieved. Soon, the Assassin glanced at Rachel and broke out into a smile.
"I think you know who should be the one killed, not me," said the Assassin. He then threw his Cloak aside. There he revealed himself, not a guy; but a girl instead. Jeffery had recognized her. Rachel saw her and broke into tears when she saw that it wasn't just an Assassin. It was Nina.
"What do you mean by that?" said the Assassin. (The other Assassin who was fighting with Jeffery was knocked out.)
"You're not an Assassin," Nina said. "You're a demon." The Assassin broke out into a laugh.
"So what? I'm more powerful than any human! And you can't stop me!" The Assassin slowly changed into a form of Demon. Jeffery clenched onto his Spear, while Nina took out her two Stilettos. The demon ran towards Nina while he cried, "You can't stop me! Never!"
"Holy Light!" A white ball went hurling towards the demon. He screamed, and he was gone.
"What a weak Demon," Nina muttered to herself while she placed her Stilettos away. "No fun at all."
