The War Against Drakath

Chapter 22: Trouble At Dwarfhold

Inside Lore's newspaper, I discovered shocking news.

Apparently, more items had mysteriously gone missing from Battleon…but that wasn't in the headlines….

Dwarfhold, the dwarf capitol, had been mysteriously attacked! The dwarves inside had been enslaved! Someone was forcing them to mine for a mysterious substance!

It looked like Escherion's defeat hadn't solved all of Lore's problems, it seems….Drakath wasn't kidding when he said he would bring thirteen lords of Chaos….

Who could have Drakath sent this time? It was most likely someone more powerful than Escherion this time….who could it possibly be?

Blackmagic13 went up to me, noticing that I was reading the newspaper. "Hey, what's going on?"

I told her what had happened. "Oh great, looks like Drakath's at it again…."

"Yep. Looks like we're going to have to do something about all this…." I said.

"Mm-hmm, so where should we start?"

"Well, I heard that some of the dwarves were at the Inn Ternet when this all happened, maybe we should talk to them?" I recommended.

"Alright, if you say so…"

And so we said our farewells and set out to stop a Chaos Lord's plans once more.

When we arrived in the forest where the Inn Ternet was located, we saw that it was filled with various monsters.

"Looks like the Pinewood Forest has its share of monsters too…" I commented.

First things first, we went inside the Inn Ternet to ask the dwarves what had happened.

Soon enough we found a dwarf known as Snowbeard. Apparently, he had escaped the Dwarfhold Mountains and told us what had happened.

Apparently, the mountain had been suddenly attacked by a Chaos Dragonlord. Just as I expected….the Chaos Lords are it again, I thought.

We also found Whitemagic7 inside the building. "Hey, I see that you heard what happened to Dwarfhold too, huh?" she asked us.

"Of course we did! What else would we be here for?" Blackmagic13 angrily told her.

"Mm-hmm. I feel sorry for the poor guys….who could have possibly done this to them?" Whitemagic13 said sympathetically.

"Don't worry; we'll try to straighten things out….." I calmly told her.

"Thanks, I don't want those poor dwarves to suffer any more…" Whitemagic7 told us.

We said farewell to Whitemagic7. Seemed like we were running into her a lot lately….

Snowbeard told me that he would be willing to lend us his axe if we were willing to help him out. He introduced us to the seven girls that had helped nurse him back to health, and then told us to go monster hunting around Pinewood.

There were various creatures around the forests….Red Shell Turtles…Pine Trolls…Pine Grizzlies…Leatherwings, we had quite a bunch to do….

But eventually we got through it…but we just had one task to do….

We had to take out the chaorrupted bear known as Twistedtooth!

It was actually somewhat similar to the bear I had faced in the Chaos Forest, but it was far more aggressive. Blackmagic13 and I had to work together to stop it.

Blackmagic13's magic seemed to be particularly effective, as even if it was chaorrupted, it was still an animal.

Also, my blade seemed to more than capable of cutting through its fur….

Once we had finished, we thought we were finally done….

But unfortunately we were not, much to Blackmagic13's annoyance. Snowbeard told us that there was a llama farmer that had gold that she owed him.

So we went to the llama farm to talk to her.

The llamas kept trying to spit on us; it wasn't a lot of fun….

The farmer introduced herself. Apparently her name was Donna Charmer….

Once again we had to do a few tasks for her…which weren't very different from the tasks we had already done….

After we had finished, Donna Charmer gave us the gold we needed.

We went back to Snowbeard and provided him with the gold he wanted.

Snowbeard was very grateful that we had gotten his gold, and was finally willing to give us his axe….

Problem was though, that we would need to climb the mountain in order to actually get inside Dwarfhold.

It wasn't a very easy hike…..the mountain was filled with various monsters….Balboas, Ore Balboas….Vultragons…..

But we were able to get past them….eventually we were stopped at a door shaped like an ox's head…..

I pulled out the axe that Snowbeard gave me, and the door slowly opened…..

Now there was just the matter of helping the dwarves that were still inside…..

Could we handle it?

Looks like Masamune34 and Blackmagic13 have a lot of work ahead of them, what adventures possibly lay in store? Please R&R!
