The War Against Drakath
In this chapter, our heroes will head into Darkovia so that they can battle against the 5th Lord of Chaos…who for some strange reason has decided to create his own Beast of Chaos…creative eh?
Hopefully our heroes can stop him…and if not can put an end to him and his little monster…
Chapter 37: A Visit To Darkovia
A few weeks after defeating Kitsune, we received a newspaper about what had happening in Battleon recently, and discovered a rather interesting article. I began to get the feeling that there might be chaotic activity in Darkovia…after all, we had defeated the 4th Lord of Chaos not too long ago, and Drakath undoubtedly wanted to awaken another Chaos Beast.
Who would he assign to the job this time? It would probably be someone intimidating…but who would have a grudge against both the vampires and werewolves? Who could it possibly be?
"What are you reading?" asked Blackmagic13.
"This newspaper…apparently there's been chaotic happening in Darkovia…I wonder why Drakath would want to pay that place a visit? Is there some sort of dark Chaos Beast that has been sealed away or something?" I told her.
"We better go tell Whitemagic7…besides, Darkovia is my kind of place." Blackmagic13 replied.
"Yes, I'm sure that you would enjoy being in such a dark and spooky place…maybe you'll learn a new spell there or something." I agreed sarcastically.
And so we went to fetch Whitemagic7…suffice to say she was less than enthusiastic to head there.
"Do you have any idea how dangerous that place is? It's filled with undead…and vampires…and werewolves…are you absolutely sure that you want to go there?" she inquired.
We told her that there had been chaotic activity there lately, and that the 5th Lord of Chaos might have already been sent there.
"Alright, but I still don't think that this is a good idea. There's a lot of things that can go wrong…and I don't think the vampires and werewolves will appreciate you adventuring into their territory." she warned.
"We could always try to explain the situation to them…if we're lucky, we might be able to persuade them to help us." I answered.
"Or we could just use some garlic and some silver to keep them from attacking us…for such powerful creatures they have such lame weaknesses…" continued Blackmagic13.
"I really don't want to solve our problems with violence, Blackmagic13." I told her.
"Why not? Violence solves everything!" she exclaimed.
"Somehow, I'm not sure if that's true." I told her.
"Whatever you say." Blackmagic13 replied sarcastically.
And so we set out to head to Darkovia. Soon we noticed that things started to get more and more spooky…
"Huh, now this is my type of environment." stated Blackmagic13.
"I hope that we don't have to stay here long." complained Whitemagic7.
Soon enough we noticed that there were several monsters about…ones that sent chills down my spine. Darkovia certainly deserved its reputation as one of the scariest places in all of Lore. No wonder vampires and werewolves were drawn to it. Speaking of which, I wondered if they were currently at war. For some reason, they had a hard time getting along.
Soon enough we saw that there were two guards standing in front of the entrance…apparently, they didn't want just anyone to get through. One of them was a vampire and one was a werewolf…and they were currently squabbling.
"Vampires are better than werewolves!" yelled the vampire.
"No! You're wrong! Werewolves are better than vampires!" yelled the werewolf.
"Um, excuse me, can we get through?" I asked.
The two of them stopped fighting and turned to look at us.
"I suppose we could…if you do some quests for us first." they said.
"Why am I not surprised to hear that?" I thought.
And so we set out to fight the nasty monsters that inhabited Darkovia. Whitemagic7 was less than enthusiastic, while Blackmagic13 was enjoying the entire thing.
"Let's fry these wolves, shall we?" stated Blackmagic13.
"I really don't see why you like combat so much…" moped Whitemagic7.
Suddenly, one of the Albino Bats (which, for some strange reason, had glowing red eyes) bit Blackmagic13 on the arm.
"Ouch!" she screamed. "What's the big idea?"
Immediately, Whitemagic7 tried to heal up Blackmagic13...I went over to see if she was alright, when suddenly a Dire Wolf bit me in the leg.
"Yeowch!" I yelled.
These monsters around Darkovia were maniacs. Why the heck did they bite us?
Thankfully, Whitemagic7 was able to heal us, but I still felt different…somehow. All of a sudden, I became a bit peckish for raw meat. Since when did I like to eat raw meat? The last time I checked, I preferred having it cooked. I couldn't help but shake the feeling that something was wrong.
I decided to talk to Blackmagic13…she said that she was also feeling fine, but she was starting to feel rather thirsty. Did it have anything to do to how I was feeling right now? I wasn't exactly sure. But she said that she was feeling alright, so I decided not to dwell on it too much.
Anyways, the two guards decided to let us in. I guess they were glad that we had defeated all of the monsters and were happy to return the favor.
Immediately, we noticed that there seemed to be a large castle ahead. I wonder who was inside? All I could tell was that it looked ominous…who exactly would want to live inside such a spooky castle? Especially in a place like Darkovia…
We decided that maybe we should pay that castle a visit and warn whoever owned that castle about the rather chaotic occurrences that had been happening there.
Little did I know that there would be future horrors lying in wait…
Well, there goes the thirty-seventh chapter…in the next chapter, our heroes will pay Safiria and Constanin a visit…little do they know what's lying in store for them…
Anyways, I'll be going on a vacation, so don't expect me to update until I get back…so I wanted to let you guys know and publish this chapter until then so that oyu won't have to wait as long. Then again you've been waiting patiently…so sorry about that.
