Joseph's POV:

I decided to come along with Shade, Sam and Wolf to Varheinfell to fight Dzarkor once and for all. I put on my Pyrium armor and grabbed Iron Will and the Strength Trinkets all of which i got for my birthday, and we set off to Varheinfell which was to the West.

We were walking through the plains when we saw a small group of cows nearby. Sam, Being the always hungry kind of guy ran right into the group and sliced them into bits with his Obsidian Scythe. After we cooked the bits and ate, we got back on track. The journey was pretty boring, so boring in fact that Shade started to whistle some tunes. The whistling was the only thing that kept us entertained whilst walking, until we heard an Explosion and a girl Scream from a nearby cave. I Unsheathed my Iron Will and charged in with the others. We saw a girl with Crimson Red hair and was wielding a huge great-sword fending off a whole group of possibly 7 creepers.

She screamed at the top of her lungs: "Ahhh! Stay away you Ugly, Piles of Moss!"

She then Slashed one of them in half and was about to be overwhelmed by the others if we didn't step in. I jumped in, Lunging at the Creeper that was right next to her, and pierced his chest with my Iron Will, meanwhile Shade and Sam took the two to her right and the other behind her. Meanwhile Wolf just attacked any old Creeper he saw. The girl looked scared to see us and stood there, in a state of panic before i shouted at her saying: "Don't just stand there! Fight!". She then snapped out of it and nodded as we tore through the Creepers. Wolf killed 2, i killed 1, Sam killed 1 and Shade killed 2, and also the girl who killed 1 before we jumped in, She possibly killed more but meh i don't care. Any ways after the battle the girl turned to face us and said...

The girl faced us and said: "Thanks for saving my hide there. I owe you one."

Shade, being the awesome guy he is said: "Don't worry about it, it was fine. Anyways what's your name?"

The girl replied standing in a stance of pride, Possibly from the fight: "Its Zoey, and again Thanks for saving me, i would have died if it weren't for you."

I said after walking out of the cave with the others: "No problem, anyways what were you doing in that Cave anyways?"

Zoey turned her head towards me and said: "I needed some Iron to repair my Greatsword. Old Heartstriker here has seen better days. Anyways what are you guys doing out here?"

Sam replied with a face of seriousness: "Oh we are heading to Varheinfell because we have some... Unfinished business there."

Zoey then asked with a sparkle in her eyes: "Oh really? Can i come with you guys? I'll try not to get in your way! I promise!"

Shade replied with a chuckle: "Sure you can come. The more the merrier right?"

And so we began walking again and had some conversations. Then i finally asked Zoey: "Hey Zoey, Where do you come from? I mean, if you don't wanna answer thats okay."

Zoey then replied with her constant cheerful tone: "Oh i come from another continent altogether. Its called Aezelexia."

There are Seven important continents in this planet. Aestenon The Continent of Neverending Blizzards, Aezelexia The Continent of the Tiberian Flames, Uamus The Continent of the Strong Winds, Xaebolesh The Continent of The Highest Peak, Exelleria The Continent of the Brilliant Light, Dirillius The Continent of the Gloomy Darkness and finally, the Continent we are on, Evoxia, The Continent of the Greenest Pastures.

Sam asked with a surprised expression on his face: "So you are a Pyrorian, Correct?"

Zoey replies in her Cheerful tone: "Yep! You better believe it! Anyways, What about you guys? Which Continent did you guys come from?"

Wolf replies to her question proudly: "I'm from Aestenon, Thats why my skin is so pale."

I reply: "Me and Sam here both come from this continent, Evoxia. What about you Shade?"

Shade feels a little uncomfortable and says: "I.. I don't know but... i get the suspicion that I'm from Dirillius."

I was surprised from his answer. And yet i knew it would be pointless to ask him for his real Motherland.

Ray's POV:

I sat on our Sofa and watched television with Tofu asleep on my lap. Ever since we saved him from the mountains he has been sticking to me and Emerald like we are his parents.

I was about to fall asleep when i heard Emerald say to Anna in a Whisper: "Don't worry Anna, I'm sure he loves you as much as you love him."

This sparked my curiosity. Love who? I felt like asking her straight up but realized that i was probably not going to get a straight answer and worst case scenario, I get called a creep. So i picked up Tofu gently and placed him gently on the Sofa, and covered him with my blanket that i covered myself with because it was getting cold. I slowly snuck out of the house and climbed on the Roof, and i proceeded to slowly walk on the roof until i reached Anna's Window. I heard Emerald leave the room and was listening to Anna giggling about something. I looked through the window and saw Anna hugging a picture of Shade. I felt really creeped out about this and almost fell off the roof.

I could hear her mumbling, saying: "Oh one day... One day we will be together Shade..."

I was about to climb down the roof until i heard Manga's Voice saying: "Hey Ray! What are you doing up on the Roof?"

I replied almost falling off the roof again in surprise: "I was just... er you know, Fixing the roof. I heard some panels slide off when i was in the garden and so i finally decided to put them back in place."

Manga's ears Twitched as she raised an Eyebrow, then she finally shrugged and said: "Okay fine then i guess."

She then walked away as i sighed in relief. That was a close call! if i stood at the window a moment longer i would have been caught red handed!
I then proceeded to climb down and walked back into the house, and sat back down on the Sofa slowly, not to wake up Tofu. Damn, She really is going crazy for Shade! He is a really good guy though, Smart, Strong and very Outgoing. I can see why she really likes him. Anyways i closed my eyes and fell asleep on the Sofa, my last thought being about how happy Shade and Anna were going to be together.

Shade's POV:

A couple of Hours after the Continent conversation we finally made it to Varheinfell. The City guards greeted us and let us walk in. The place was amazing! The roads were made out of a fancy stone brick with gold engraved into it. There were a lot of people who all looked like Nobles, wearing fancy Wool clothing. But there were also Caravans holding prisoners, each guarded by 4 guards on horses. We were heading down into the middle of town, and we saw a statue, made out of gold, was holding a sword in his right hand triumphantly as he stood on top of a beast that looks like a dragon.
We decided to head up to the Market where we looked at some of the wares.

Before we moved on to our next destination we heard a voice say something smugly to one of us: "Well well well, look who came to Varheinfell."

We turned to face the voice and saw a Brunette woman dressed in all black with twintails and had Dark Purple Eyes like mine.

Zoey looked at her Shocked and said: "A-Adria!?"

Adria looked at her and said: "Long time no see Zoey, How 'you holding up in life?"

Zoey then said feeling a little uncomfortable: "Well, I was doing fine until i needed some iron to repair Heartstriker. I went into a cave and got the iron, and i was surrounded by Creepers suddenly. And then these guys showed up and Saved my Hide."

We then waved at her Awkwardly. Zoey then finally asked: "Adria, What are you doing here in Varheinfell?"

Adria then replied with her arms crossed: "I should be asking you the same, I was on a mission to kill someone here."

Zoey then said Cheerfully: "We are here on a mission too, although i don't know the details as these guys are the ones who talked me into it."

I then replied with a "Seriously?" expression on my face: "You asked us to take you with us."

Zoey smiled awkwardly and asked: "Anyways who are you out to kill, Adria?"

Adria then motioned us to get closer and whispered: "I'm here to assassinate General Robb Whiteslayer, The General of Varheinfell's Military Department. My reasons for killing him are that he is affiliated with an Evil Spirit named Dzarkor."

All of us except Zoey had an Expression of Shock. Adria then asked confused: "Why are you so surprised?"

Joseph then replies after calming down a little: "Well its because... We are here to kill Dzarkor."

Adria's eyes widened after hearing this and said: "Woah wait a second! Do you really think you are able to do that?"

I then give my terrifying devilish grin and say: "Of course we can. I will do anything to destroy that piece of shit!"

They turn to me with surprise written all over their faces, guess they didn't know the dark side of me. Up until now i was as polite as i can be, but after all the things Dzarkor has attempted to do, every time i hear his name i snap into Rage mode.

Sam then says with an uncomfortable laugh: "Woah! Slow down there Tiger! You will get him soon enough. So calm down."

Suddenly i hear an Explosion in the distance and turn my head to see a Horde of Monsters charging in.

We all pull out our weapons and prepare to fight.

I summon Darkfury and Shrieksong and charge at a Zombie, Stabbing it in the chest. I pulled out my blade and leaned to the left to dodge an incoming Arrow that was shot by a Skeleton with an Enchanted Bow. With my quick thinking i Rush him down, and send my blade through his skull. After pulling the blade out this time i decapitate a nearby Creeper who wanted to blow me up while i wasn't focusing on him. Suddenly i was surrounded and saw that there was a Giant heading straight for me. I Jumped to avoid a Lunge that was aimed for my Heart by an Armored Zombie with a sword. I sent my blade crashing down on his skull, splitting his head in two. I then do a 360 degree spin attack that killed all the Zombies around me. The Giant finally reached me and, when it attempted to stomp me, i jumped to the right and started climbing his left leg using my swords as hooks. The Giant grunted in pain and tried to grab me with his hand, which i jumped on and ran along his whole arm up to his head, Ripping his flesh along the way. When i finally reached the head the Giant tried to throw me off by spinning in circles, which i thought was stupid, because i had my blade deep in his flesh, and he became dizzy, falling to the ground and crushing a large portion of the Raiders. I then went up to his throat while he lay dazed on the ground, and with all my might, I sent my blades right through his throat, causing him to Gurgle and Choke on his own blood as it sprayed everywhere. I jumped off and as i was falling, i saw how my friends were holding up. Sam was cutting through the enemies with his double-sided Obsidian-Diamond Scythe like a Hot knife on Butter, Zombies and Creepers and maybe even Spiders were sent flying Everywhere as Wolf Swang his Iron hammer he named Truth all around, Crushing the enemy, Joseph looked like a Gladiator with his sword, as he turned to and fro as he chopped off heads and gutted a lot of Mobs, Zoey, who was new to the team, Slashed with her Greatsword named Heartstriker and split the Mobs in half Four at a time, Adria was using two very curvy daggers and Rushed through groups of mobs in a zig-zag pattern. I could tell as she left a purple trail wherever she was, and all the Mobs she passed always keel over and die, blood rushing from their throats or their guts were spilled onto the ground as she sliced their stomachs. I decided to ramp my game up as i started to use my Dark Magic against a Group Skeletons hanging back and picking off the Guards as they fought valiantly against the main force, The Zombies. I Shouted out: "Night's Melody!"
And instantly a Dark Forcefield appeared around me. It then proceeded to expand away from me at a very rapid rate, Throwing back all of the forces at a velocity that, once they landed their spines had broken. They finally sent out the Cavalry, Spiders rushing in from the hole in the wall that was as tall as Three of the Giant i just killed. They jumped on the guards who desperately tried to pry them off but to no avail. Three teamed up on me, Throwing themselves at my face, but i was prepared! I went for a Downwards slash with my Shrieksong and split one in half, then i Crouched and the other two hit each-other above me, accidentally sinking their fangs into each-others throats. I then went on a Rampage using my new Move i learned accidentally when i was thinking about loosing Anna and the others. I called it the "Final Dance". I gained Velocity as i swung and finally reached the speed i wanted, which was faster than sound. It produced an Earsplitting Sonic boom that caused all mobs in an 8 block radius to let go of their weapons and press their hands against their ears, that left them helpless as i Slaughtered them. After the Massacre the remaining Mobs attempted to retreat but were picked off by the City's Archers that were still mounted on top of the wall.

Victory was ours, We all held our Bloody weapons from all the killing in the air and Shouted: "Victory is Ours!"
Blood was dripping from all of our bodies, either from our own wounds or from the Mobs wounds. Either way we still won and after a good 15 seconds of Rejoicing we all sheathed our weapons and searched for the Bathhouse, Which was the Nearest building to the Center of the City.

Me, Sam, Joseph and Wolf went into the Boys Spa, While Zoey and Adria went into the Girls Spa.

After rinsing off every little bit of blood from our bodies and from our clothes, which are all now drenched with water, we sat back in the Spa and relaxed, Talking about our victory. Joseph looked like he had an Idea, as he told us to come closer and whispered: "See that up there? Thats an opening between the Boys and the Girls Spa. We could... you know..." He then had a Nosebleed and i knew exactly what he men't. We all blushed hard but the inner Pervert got the better of us. We then began to silently stack some objects to make a higher platform. When we all looked at the Girls Spa I almost died from my Nosebleed, Wolf's Face Turned into a Tomato red as he fell back down onto the Room's Floor. Sam had a nosebleed as he did a creepy smile, Whilst Joseph had fell unconscious from what he saw. We who didn't fall down to the ground from the sight carefully climbed back down so that the Girls don't realize what happened.

I then said with an uncomfortable laugh: "Okay so i'm not doing that again, what about you Guys?"

Sam and Wolf then Nodded as their noses wouldn't stop bleeding. We then woke up Joseph and cleaned up the mess that we caused from our Blood.

After we finished we came out of the Spa and so did the Girls. We were then approached by a Couple of Guards...

Guard 1 Says with a Smile that i could barely see from under his helmet: "Hey Heroes! Thanks for helping us out! Anyways the King wanted to talk to you. So me and these 3 other Guards will escort you to the Kings Palace.

We were then escorted out of the Bathhouse and into the Palace where all the Royal Guards bowed to us whilst still holding their Spears.

The king spoke up in his Kingly Voice: "Welcome Heroes to Varheinfell Palace! I deeply apologize for the Attack, We did not know the Mob Kingdoms would attack us this early in the morning."

Zoey who we called the "Cheerful Bee" said: "Its alright! We were seeking some action anyways. But what did you want to talk about King?"

The King replied in the same Tone: "Please, call me by my real name, Lord Ernisius The II of Varheinfell. I called you in to ask you some questions. Guards, escort them to the Private room."

We were then escorted to a warm room with 6 Grand chairs for us to sit in and one Chair behind a table for Lord Ernisius II.

We all sat down on the chairs and Lord Ernisius II asked: "What brings you to our fair Kingdom?"

Sam replied: "We have come here to fight the Enraged Spirit."

The King, who was drinking some Wine spat it out and Exclaimed: "Thats Insanity! None of my strongest men have been able to beat him, How do you think that you are able to beat him!? He forced us into his command otherwise he would kill us!"

I ask calmly with an Evil Grin: "What if the Child of Darkness happened to be the one fighting him?"

The King stroked his beard in thought and said: "Then you might stand a chance. But i do not believe he is with you, Correct?"

Joseph said with a smile: "Oh but that is where you are wrong, Your Highness, you have been staring at him this whole time."

The King Ernisius II looked skeptical until he inspected me closely, and saw my Tattoo that read out in Aetherian: "Darkness"
Hes face turned into Horror for a second until he remembered that we were on good terms with him.

He smiled and let out a Relieved sigh as he said: "We might just stand a chance. But the problem is that Dzarkor is currently in another city, By the name of Zelikarnell Hold. It is a neighboring city that is just over the Mountains. You may rest here and set out in the morning. But remember to visit our smith! He can upgrade your weapons with material stronger than obsidian and sharper than Diamond."

We all excused ourselves and were escorted to our seperate rooms.
I lay in bed, wondering how Anna is doing back at home. I wish i had some way of communicating with her so that i can tell her to prepare some new rooms for the house, as we are going to need them now that we have Adria and Zoey on our team.

I then started to count all the people in our team:

Sam, Joseph, Anna, Me, Wolf, Manga, Emerald, Ray, Tofu, Zoey, Adria, Shrieksong and finally Darkfury if you count my blades as they can talk with me.

I slowly close my eyes as i drift off into a deep sleep.

AND CUT! I finally got over my Writers Block by listening to The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion's Intro Theme.
It inspired me to have the Mobs break in to the City.
I always feel like i have to remind people that Suggestions are Open so... I'm up for Suggestions!
Until next time. Bai Bai :3
