Final Fantasy: Rise of Despair
When we last left off; Harris, Heidi, and three of the elites departed for Clan Forest. After some small encounters and some rather… strange nights, the clan met with the clanmaster of Clan Forest, Hunter the Tactician. Meanwhile Jessica dragged two other members in to who knows what kind of trouble. We now join Harris and party as they meet clan forest.
P.S. I realized that I made an error with a river name last chapter, I'll have gone back and fixed that by the time you read this.

Hunter
"Wow… that's amazing…" Monty said in awe looking at the numerous cabins strewn about the really high-up treetops.
"Where did you find the time to build all of this?" Mendoza asked curiously.
"It wasn't easy, I can tell you that." Hunter answered. "Come on, I'll take you to the meeting and dining room." Hunter beckoned. He walked over towards some concealed ropes and grabbed one. "Grab one." Hunter said. Since there were only three ropes left they had to improvise a bit.
"Here Heidi." Harris offered. He grabbed the rope with one hand and held on to Heidi with the other while she held on to him.
"Hey do you mind Mendoza?" Monty asked politely.
"Eh… go ahead pal." Mendoza backed off a tad to allow Monty to grab part of the rope. Gilbert grabbed one for himself.
"Now hold on tightly." Hunter warned with a smile.
"Why?" Monty asked. Hunter put an index finger and a thumb to his mouth and let out a loud whistle. Suddenly the ropes yanked upward with shocking force and pulled everyone up at an incredible speed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Monty and Mendoza screamed as the ropes carried them upward, everyone else kept their composure. Once they reached a wooden walkway near the top, Hunter, Harris, and Gilbert let go and smoothly landed on the walkway while Monty and Mendoza.
BAM
They landed on their faces, which is quite uncomfortable for Mendoza due to the helmet and him being a bangaa. "Ha ha. I hope that didn't surprise you guys too much." Hunter laughed.
"We're good…" They groaned.
"That was… interesting." Heidi commented.
"Oh yeah, the rope pulleys were my idea, although my second in command thought they were a bit too much of a thrill." Hunter said lightly.
"This guy…is certainly interesting." Gilbert thought to himself.
"Oh well, let's go this way." Hunter instructed. They took the walkway toward the largest wooden tree house. "I hope you guys aren't afraid of heights. Anytime a new member joins they're always wigging out about the height of this place." Hunter said.
"Naw… I'm not…" Monty began when he looked down.
"You know… it's a whole lot higher up looking from up here." Mendoza commented when he and Monty looked down at the forest floor waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay below them. After a minute they were inside the house with a few other people inside.
One was a viera sniper with blue eyes, although her dress was a darker green in color. There were two moogle gunners, both with brown eyes and matching outfits, apparently twins. There was also a Nu Mou time mage with blue eyes, and a human white mage with brown hair and brown eyes.
"And to whom do we have the pleasure of meeting?" Heidi asked politely.
"Ah, this is my rather stiff second in command Violet." Hunter introduced while pointing to the sniper.
"Hey… oh well, it's nice to meet you." Violet said.
"And these guys are my elites. John and Jacob," Hunter said while pointing at the twin moogles. "Well, he's very quiet and hard to hear so we just nickname him Clocked." Hunter said while pointing to the time-mage."
"…"
"What was that?" Monty asked.
"I think he said hi." Heidi answered.
"Hm, he must be quiet if Heidi can't hear him." Gilbert commented.
"And the clan's top white-mage here is Thad." Hunter said while pointing at the white mage. "The regular members consist of archers, one fencer, and one thief." Hunter explained.
"Just how many archers do you have?" Mendoza asked.
"Five." Hunter said.
"Man, how come we don't have that many?" Monty asked.
"Well I have to admit some of our guys aren't the best. As you may have noticed, we specialize in long-range combat." Hunter said while taking a seat at the head of the table while the elites took some nearby seats. "Well come on, you guys should have a seat as well." Hunter urged. The five shrugged and took a seat. "So then, I got your letter, but it was rather vague on the details." Hunter said to Harris.
"Yes well," Harris took a deep breath, not really as if he were nervous or hesitant, but rather to make sure he was saying what he was about to say correctly. "As you've noticed, it's been ten years since that day the Black King took the throne." Harris said.
"Yeah, ten years too long." Hunter said. Everyone at the table nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well, the people have suffered too much. I've seen families torn apart, houses and lives destroyed. It is about time to bring a complete end to this." Harris said.
"Well, I'm certainly interested to hear your idea here." Hunter said.
"If this clan and my clan, along with a few other clans in Ivalice, we may be able to resist the Black Army and bring it down for good." Harris said.
"Hey, there's an idea. Of course I'll…" Hunter started.
"Wait a minute Hunter." Violet said.
"Now what Violet?" Hunter asked.
"Think about this for a second, the black army is massive. Even clan Liberation with its over 500 members couldn't even measure up to a fraction of what the black army has." Violet said.
"Point is?" Hunter asked as if he hadn't even heard what Violet was saying.
"Doh! For such a strategic genius you sure don't listen very well!" Violet shouted.
"This might get ugly." Monty said.
"Don't worry about it, Violet's always thinking about these technicalities, nothing bad has ever really happened." Thad assured them.
"Look, the Black Army has thousands, no millions or maybe even a billion or so soldiers in their ranks." Violet pointed out. "I hate them as much as the next person, but we can't ignore the facts."
"Violet is making a good point." Gilbert said.
"Gilbert do you really think that's important?" Mendoza asked.
"Not entirely." Gilbert asked.
"Look Violet, numbers aren't the only thing that matters." Hunter said keeping pretty relaxed. "Most of the Black Army soldiers are really just a bunch of useless fighters that only have numbers going for them and hardly any skill to back it up." Hunter said.
"But what about the others?" Violet asked.
"What's she getting at now?" Monty asked annoyed.
"I think I know where's she going." Heidi said.
"Shh." Harris shushed his clan members.
"Sure maybe the common soldier or corporal or even lieutenant is anything to sneeze about, but those that are the rank of captain and above have earned those titles." Violet warned. "And there is a rumor going around that only five people ever receive the rank of colonel, and that only four receive the title of general."
"Point is?" Hunter asked nonchalantly.
"Ugh! Listen! The generals, and the marshal of the army himself are rumored to have powers not of this world. Especially the marshal, when the marshal was only fourteen years old, he supposedly killed the entire judiciary before they even had time to react. Imagine what he's like now." Violet said.
"Fourteen? Is she serious?" Mendoza thought to himself.
"All of them? Whoa… and I heard the judges were POWERFUL…" Monty thought.
"So… she was there as well…" Harris thought.
"Do you understand me now Hunter?" Violet asked. That's when a snore made its way to her ears. "Huh?" She looked in front of her to see that Hunter had fallen asleep and was snoring pretty loudly. "OH YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE!!!" Violet shouted.
"Huh? …geez you're being awfully loud…" Hunter yawned.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Violet yelled frustrated.
"But regardless of all of that…" Hunter said, apparently having heard all of that anyways. "The Black King has killed many, and made many more suffer. Do you have any idea how many people have died and how many more have lost all hope or any feeling of happiness and cheerfulness at all?" Hunter asked as his face turned to that of a serious expression for the first time since clan Falcon met him.
"Wait… Hunter, I didn't mean it like that." Violet sighed.
"I don't care how many powerful enemies I have to face, all I know is that people are suffering, and without hope or joy, then I will risk everything to fight off these guys." Hunter said.
"So, does that mean that you will help us?" Heidi asked.
"Yep." Hunter said smiling.
"That's good to he…" Harris started to say when his look changed to a cold stare. "Who's there!" Harris yelled. Heidi seemed to know what Harris meant since she turned and fired an arrow at the door.
"Gah!" A Viera sniper from the black army fell down with a mana arrow stuck in her forehead.
"The others are getting away!" Hunter cried. Everyone bolted from the table and dashed for the door. Monty, John, and Jacob open fired with their guns at a bunch of figures hopping through the trees.
"Hold your fire!" Hunter ordered. Harris, Heidi, Hunter, and Violet leaped off of the wooden walkway and in to the branches after the spies.
"Double Shot!" Heidi fired two arrows that hit two ninjas in the back and killed them.
"Beso Toxico!" Violet fired a poisoned arrow that scratched a moogle juggler and a bangaa white monk.
"Capture!" Hunter fired four arrows with a net made from mana and actually pinned two other black soldiers to a tree.
"Here I go!" Harris had leaped ahead of the others and caught up with the remaining three. He slashed one in the back, and kicked the other two down in to the ground.
"Gah!" The black soldier archer and sniper both had a hard time standing back up. However Harris didn't give them that chance. Harris immediately landed and stabbed the archer through the back.
"You're… what?" The Viera sniper had disappeared. "Damn it!" Harris cursed. "How could I let that one get away from me?" Harris asked himself.
A few minutes later…
"Come on… we might be nice if you just cooperate." Hunter said to the captured black soldiers, a Mog Knight and a Dragoon.
"I won't say anything." The Mog Knight said.
"Oh really?" Came Heidi's voice. She then suddenly appeared behind the bound captives and held her knife and katana to their throats. "Why not? Are you afraid of what your king would do?" She asked with a rather chilling tone. "I assure you… what we could do, is much worse…" Heidi said as she slowly streaked the edge of her weapons against their necks so that it only bled just a little bit. However she let the blood drip on to her weapons, and let them see their own blood drip off of her weapons on to their laps.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! ALL RIGHT! I'LL TALK! I'LL TALK!" The Dragoon screamed.
"Coward." The Mog Knight muttered.
"We were going to spy on you, report back with information of your plans and numbers and then stage an attack on this base…" The Dragoon whined. Everyone's eyes opened up a little after this.
"Oh that's just brilliant." Gilbert sarcastically said.
"Please just let me go." The Dragoon whined.
"Very well…" Harris began. "We'll let you go to the other life painlessly." Harris finished.
"You idiot!" The Mog Knight screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" The Dragoon cried.
"Fira!" Gilbert instantly incinerated them.
"You know, that guy was a disgrace to Bangaa pride anyways." Mendoza said.
"Never mind that, we have more pressing matters to attend to." Harris said.
"Perhaps we should just evacuate, that would save us from losing our clan members." Violet suggested.
"As much I don't want to lose anyone, clans face this kind of thing often, and we need to show these guys what happens when they mess with us. So we're going to stay and fight." Hunter said.
"…" Clocked said.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"I think he asked if I had a plan." Hunter said. Clocked nodded. "Of course I have a plan." Hunter said. He signaled for everyone to get near so that they could hear his plan.
A large force of black soldiers, at least six hundred of them were marching toward the clan Forest base. Leading the march was a ninja in black ninja robes with red outlining the sleeves and gloves. "Captain Flash! We are nearly there." A viera sniper reported.
"Good, but remember, I want the clanmaster of clan Forest." The ninja responded.
"They're at checkpoint one." Violet whispered in to a microphone headset while standing next to Heidi.
"Alright… open fire." Hunter's voice came over the radio. Both Heidi and Violet, along with three generic clan Forest archers began firing arrows down on to the ranks way below them, causing black soldiers to die left and right.
"We're under attack!" Shouted one.
"Charge!" The Ninja shouted.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" The Black Soldiers shouted. A few thieves, ninjas, fencers, white monks, and jugglers began scaling up the trees toward the archers, only to find something very wrong.
"Hey! My hands are stuck!"
"These trees have some kind of paste on them!" A white monk shouted.
"They're passing checkpoint one." Heidi said in to the radio as she released another flurry of arrows.
"Alright, that's my cue then." Harris said. "Now!" Several Feet from where Heidi and Violet were Harris and Mendoza leaped out of the trees along with a fencer and a human thief.
"Fire Sword!" Mendoza created a sword from flames and slashed through five soldiers in one slice before blocking and countering a dozen attacks that came at him.
"Defense." Harris took a defensive stance and any black soldiers that were stupid enough to attack him got blocked and countered, or their attacks were just too weak for it to even notice him and he killed them. Finally when a whole bunch rushed him from one side. "You guys make this too easy, saint cross!" Harris cast a ring of holy energy around him that killed the oncoming attackers.
"Magic users attack them!" A voice in the black army shouted. Several black mages were preparing spells when all of a sudden they went mute.
"Keep using Silenshot just as Hunter planned." Gilbert instructed next to Monty, Jacob, and John. A few were starting to get by Harris and co. as they just killed Forest's thief. However this is where Gilbert came in. "Blizzaga!" Gilbert cast a powerful ice spell that caused massive icicles to erupt from the ground and impale several soldiers. "They won't be getting past checkpoint two that easily." Gilbert assured everyone on the radio.
"Life!" Thad managed to cast a life spell from the tree tops on the dead thief but the thief was about to be attacked again.
"Ah!" The thief didn't have time to react, but Harris quickly used cover to teleport in the way of the oncoming attack.
"Nice try." Harris then decapitated the bangaa warrior. "Cura." Harris cast a healing spell on the thief and quickly resumed fighting off the black soldiers.
"Heh… as expected, these guys are putting up a good fight." Captain Flash whispered from the shadows. "ALRIGHT! ALL OF THOSE BELOW THE RANK OF CORPORAL FALL BACK!!!" The captain shouted. A number of the survivors tried to run away, but they were just killed as they did so, but in replacement of them, more units that had expert classes such as paladins and elemantists began charging forward.
"This may present a slight challenge." Heidi said. "Double Shot!" Heidi began firing two arrows at once, usually killing her targets in one shot, but that wasn't always the case.
"Alright guys, we were prepared for this, checkpoints one and two fall back to the previous checkpoint as per the strategy." Hunter said in to the radios. Everyone nodded and did so, the ones at the checkpoints leaped through the trees, however two archers that were with Heidi and Violet were uncoordinated enough to fall to the ground.
"AH!" They screamed.
"Damn it." Harris cringed. Just as they were about to be skewered. Harris and Heidi leaped in the way and killed the attackers in one massive slice before they got killed.
"Let's go." Heidi said picking one archer off the ground and leaping back in to the trees, and Harris following along narrowly avoiding arrows and bullets fired at the two of them.
"Thad, treat them, we have to rejoin the battle." Harris said as they caught up with Thad at checkpoint three.
"Right." Thad nodded. Harris leaped back in the fray while Heidi went to rejoin Violet and the one remaining archer.
"Swallowtail!" The fencer did an accurate spinning strike that wounded a bunch that were surrounding her, but thankfully some archers of clan Forest that were hidden in the trees to the side helped finish them off.
"Look out!" Monty cried. "Ice Shot!" Monty fired several icicles from his gun and impaled a large number before they could jump the clan forest thief. "Phew…" Monty then decided to resort to stop shots on the mages.
Clocked was at checkpoint three now and he cast haste on all of the gunners and caused them to pick up the pace in their shooting.
"Wild Swing!" Mendoza slashed several that had attempted to surround him, but one hunter and sniper managed to hit him once he stopped spinning. "Gah!"
"Nurse!" Harris stood back to back with Mendoza and cast a white aura around both of them that did some light healing. With those two watching each other's backs they were fighting off attackers with much more ease.
Meanwhile…
Captain Flash was sneaking around the woods. "Grrr… where is that clanmaster? I know he's the mastermind behind this." Finally he came to a small clearing where he narrowly dodged an arrow. "So, you were here."
"That's right." Hunter said coming in to full view.
"Tell me something. Were you expecting me?" Flash asked him drawing two katanas from his back.
"I just know that the leaders of this army love to look for strong competition. So in a way, yes I was." Hunter said getting his bow ready.
"And you think that it's okay to just leave your clan the way you did?"
"Oh trust me, there are some people much more reliable than I am helping this time." Hunter said.
"Hmph, enough small talk. I'm going to slice you in to pieces."
"Capture!" Hunter fired four arrows with the mana net attached. Flash dodged to the side only to see another one coming at him; this time Flash slashed right through the net.
"Throw!" Flash quickly held both katana in one hand and threw three shuriken at Hunter.
"Snap." Hunter ducked to the side and fired an arrow made of mana this time at Flash's legs. "Aim: Leg!"
"Whoa!" Flash back flipped up on to a tree and crouched on to the side of the tree while making hand signs. "Fire Jujutsu! Fire Veil!" Hunter held his hand over his mouth as he stood back up because he knew he wouldn't be able to avoid the small burst of flame.
"As long as I don't inhale the smoke… I'll be able to keep my senses." Hunter thought as he ran out of the flames only to find Flash waiting for him with twin katanas "Crap."
"Die!"
Back to the rest of the clan…
"Ice Sword!" Mendoza created a sword from ice and sliced two in the stomach before it shattered. "This is getting exhausting." Mendoza panted. Heidi then leaped down from the trees and drew her katana.
"We have enough support up there." Heidi said as she landed and sliced on in the leg and left the black mage to bleed to death.
"Agreed." Harris said just a few arrows from support archers killed one guy about to jump him from behind. Harris quickly spun his way through three guys and once he passed all three of them they suddenly fell down dead. By now though the fencer and the thief were heavily wounded. "Curaga." Harris healed them to allow Thad to heal Mendoza.
"Bolt Shot!" Monty fired a few bullets in to the air that suddenly rained down lightning bolts.
"Flare!" Gilbert fried a defender that was about to jump the fencer.
"Last Breath!" Heidi stabbed two black soldiers at once with her Katana and one other with her wrist knife.
"Beso Toxico!" Violet fired a poisoned arrow in to the shoulder of a Mog Knight, who of course died later from the poison. Clocked then slowed down five guys at once with his slow spell.
"Hunter, you better be alright you idiot." Violet thought.
Back to the battle…
Hunter ducked backwards and with surprising flexibility got away with only two mild cuts on his chest and a slashed up hat. "Aw man, that was my favorite hat." Hunter said.
"How can you use such levity in battle?" Flash asked frustrated, however Hunter used this opportunity to fire another Aim: Leg attack. "Gah!" Flash barely avoided this by leaping back.
"Aim: Leg, Aim: Leg, Aim: Leg!" Hunter began using the same attack again and again and again keeping Hunter from standing his ground.
"Earth Jujutsu! Earth Veil!" After a brown puff of smoke a chunk of earth rose up in front of him and blocked the Aim: Legs attacks. "Metal Jujutsu! Metal Veil!" This time a bunch of metal rose up around Hunter. "I'll get you this time!" Flash ran out from cover and drew his katanas Hunter turned as though he were going to run, but some vines from underground were preventing him from moving.
"What the…"
"Not this time! I'm making sure you aren't moving." Flash said as he just finished a Wood Veil technique. He picked up the swords he quickly dropped and ran at Hunter. "Die now!"
Meanwhile…
"Okay this is starting to get annoying." Mendoza said as he slashed another one.
"Rockseal!" Heidi turned one to stone just as a Templar thrust his lance forward to stab her, however she dodged and his lance got stuck in his petrified comrade.
"… Meteor!" Gilbert just finished the incantation and caused a large meteor to drop on that templar and a bunch of other soldiers nearby.
"Double Shot!" Violet fired down two arrows at a time and killed off a number of them.
"Fire Shot!" Monty fired a flaming bullet in to a small crowd and caused them to burst in to flame.
"Holy Blade!" Harris' knightsword glowed with a bright holy light and he slashed through a HUGE number of them. "Ugh, full-life." Harris revived the fencer that just got killed. "There are still too many of them." Harris said.
Back to the battle…
"What… is this?" Flash asked. He was leaping through mid-air to attack Hunter but he was apparently stuck in mid-air and could barely move at all.
"Look closely." Hunter said while smirking.
"Hm?" Flash looked closely and found several wires strung about him and he was all tangled up. "What? But when did you…"
"While you were distracted with my Aim: Leg attacks, you were more focused on low attacks and you didn't notice that every now and then I fired an arrow in to the trees with a wire attached to it." Hunter said. "That first capture move I tried on you, that showed me that a normal capture wouldn't work on you, so I had to set up a trap."
"You…"
"Don't bother finishing that." Hunter said. He fired an arrow straight in to Flash's heart and killed him. "Now then, I've got a clan to protect."
Meanwhile…
"Still… too many…" Mendoza breathed as about one hundred more came charging.
"We can handle this." Harris said.
"Okay guys, I'm here!" Hunter shouted as he leaped in, notching four arrows on to his bow carefully. "Here I go! Sonic Boom!" Hunter fired four arrows, each one sending a wave of sound as it flew. Once they struck a target, the area around the target exploded with sound.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The Black soldiers around the targets screamed in agony as they fell dead from the shock.
"Capture!" Hunter fired a mana net in to the air to where it fell down on top of the black soldiers still alive. "So long." Hunter said giving them one wave of his hand. The members of clan forest then open fired with projectiles and killed off the immobilized black soldiers.
"Whew… we did it…" Heidi sighed in relief.
"And kept everyone alive as well." Violet said.
"Was there ever any doubt?" Hunter asked.
"As I expected, he will be a great ally." Harris said quietly. Gilbert was simply looking at Harris with a fairly puzzled look on his face.
"Harris' mana…I've hardly noticed it before now but…how strange…" Gilbert thought to himself.
A little while later…
"So now what? We've beaten some Black army goons, and we gained an ally. Where to?" Mendoza asked.
"Well… neither of the other clans I plan on meeting are that close by, but the closest one would be Clan Laura." Harris said.
"And where are they?" Monty asked.
"Nargai Cave." Harris said.
"What? But that's across the Eluut Sands." Monty whined.
"A tough it out." Mendoza said.
"Gilbert already has the safest route planned." Harris explained.
"Right, we're going to head a little ways east and rent a boat and go through Bervenia canal.
"But that's…" Mendoza started to say.
"That's within the capital's area, we could run the risk of getting spotted." Heidi said.
"Don't worry, the canal is covered in perpetual fog, and the boat driver is expert at moving silently through waters." Harris assured everyone. "We'll stop a short ways away from the Eluut sands and then we'll have to travel the desert." Harris told everyone. "Got it?"
"Right." Everyone said.
"Hey you guys are leaving?" Hunter asked.
"Yes, we have to keep going." Heidi said.
"Well, I'd like to come along myself, I would like to meet the other clanmasters myself." Hunter said.
"Well that would be a great boon to us." Gilbert said.
"You're not going anywhere!" Violet shouted.
"Oh give me a break. Why not?" Hunter asked annoyed.
"You're the clanmaster. Who knows how long you'll be gone. You can't just leave us here." Violet asserted.
"Sheesh, no fun at all." Hunter groaned.
"I guess, we should take our leave now." Harris said. And thus clan Falcon departed.
Later that night…
After about a half a day's walking, they finally reached a foggy dock with a fairly large boat and a Nu Mou standing there. "The ride is 1,000 gil per passenger." The nu mou whispered.
"What? That's expensive these days." Heidi whispered.
"Hey, I'm running a high risk here, so it's either 1,000 gil or no deal." The nu mou said.
"Hmmmm…" Harris thought for a minute.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"I only have 3,000 total." Harris said.
"Ooooohhh…" Everyone groaned.
"Here's the remaining 3,000." Hunter said appearing out of nowhere.
"HUNTER!!!" Mendoza and Monty shouted.
"Shush! Don't be too loud around here." The Nu Mou whispered.
"I managed to talk Violet in to letting me go. I pointed out to her that I am the clanmaster after all." Hunter explained.
"Well, it'll be good to have you along." Harris said as they boarded the boat.
"Yep, only smooth sailing from here." Hunter said.
Back at the Clan Forest base…
Violet was holding a note in her hand with her eye twitching. The note read "Gone with Clan Falcon, take care of things while I'm out – Hunter"
"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" Violet shouted.

As I'm sure some of you have noticed, I have changed the effects of some abilities in the story. But I just felt that the changes were somewhat necessary, well regardless, the next chapter is the next interlude and the chapter after that will be one of many misadventure chapters for comical relief. Leave a review letting me know what you think.
