Hello. If the formatting is a bit messed up it's because I started using a new documenting program. I might just copy and paste the words from this document onto the online one, since I like that formatting much better, but my internet is being shit.
Sorry for the lack of chapters. the last time I uploaded was October 17th. I have been exhausted and not in the mood. I have decided to write notes in my free time to give me a head start on all the content I wish to include in the chapter so I do not forget main details and little events.
At school I usually reread all the chapters during work time and update chapters. I might also put a thought or two in a chapter before I start publishing after school. That is why more of my content is becoming more descriptive and vivid use of words.
Do not forget to follow me on twitter to keep track of all my updates to every single thing I am doing story-wise Look on my profile for all that information. Have fun and STAY DARK!
Just great! No ride. A hike through hell again. That doesn't sound very good at all! The warmth of the industry sounded so very tempting! Then again, what lay over the wasteland of frozen ocean was the more important thing. A beaten down shed was the place to go. It sure wasn't the shed that was wanted, though. What lay within there was the objective. A person.
Might as well before leaving this wonderful warmth of existence take it in while you still have time. Exactly what Alice did. Kneeling down to a furnace, she cupped her hands near the flame. Warming the metal slightly which barely reached the tips of her fingers within. Taking in the nice, smokey air, she coughed slightly. Better than the breathtaking, literally, cold.
People ran around her, unusually They scattered to work, huffing and puffing. Starting ovens, lifting barrels, tossing coal, and attending chores. Before she could look to see what the moment had broken into, a tall man tapped on her shoulder. fear struck Alice's unseen face.
"Ma'am, may I have a word with you?" a stern, and yet polite demand came.
"Ya' sure. Whateva' ya' need I mighta be able ta' do" Alice kept struggling with the accent. It was troubling. How could they reconise her in the helmet? Maybe because she was one of the only females in the entire place.
"Need? Many things I ask of you. First, what has your little Nordic mind thought of taking a break on my watch? This is an industrial corporation in which we do not take breaks, whatsoever, and do not avoid the usage of work!" the man said, a bit rudely. He took care on really pointing out the "not"(s) in his words.
Nordic? As if. Alice was an Imperial. She served in the Legion for a good amount of time, and devoted her care well there. They obviously bought the disguise, "Listen, buddy! No one calls me a Nord. No one! Imperial is my blood, and I will not work for such insanity!" Alice broke it.
"Excuse me?" a few Orc men stood around the tall, skinny man. He crossed his arms in disappointment, "I run the stations here! I take time to organize every operation this place needs and has in mind. I make sure everything is in order and then send my officers to carry out the tasks with the workers! Do not push the limits!"
"I cannot take this insanity! Always working, saving everyday. It's same old all the time! What in hell kind of idoit do you take me for? Well, of all my years in the Imperial Legion, I have not seen such unhealthy, usefulness and cruel work, ever!" She grabbed the man by his collar of his hide shirt, "And if you have taken me for some kind of fool, I will personally beat you to the ground with my bare fists and hope you choke on your own blood!"
The man was dropped to the floor. He caught his breath uneasily and regained his train of thought. He looked to the Orc men who appeared to be awaiting a call for assistance, or maybe waiting for him to tell them to attack Alice. He nodded, hoping both.
Alice reached for her mace, but it was not there. She had forgotten she left it in the hands of Alianor so she could disguise herself as the Doben warrior. Instead, she grabbed the axe and whipped it at one of the Orc's faces. A deep gash was left as blood dripped onto the floor. These Orcs obviously didn't recognize pain and continued ganging up on Alice. Huge hammers, two handed maces, and greatswords within their grasps. Alice was outnumbered by far. Hit and run!
Alice sprinted outside in the harshness. The Orcs followed closely behind her. Their green faces easily seen within the blizzard that had stricken out here. The heavy clinging of the rough metals from their armor gave away their locations. Heavy breathing and rude comments were echoed throughout the breeze. Alice was damned.
Charging quickly, she ran to a glismp of the shed. She just had to get to Alianor. Two girls fighting heavily equipped Orcs. Sounded so easy. Yeah, right!
Her eyes sting painfully. Alice hadn't blinked this whole moment. At any second, she could be easily hit by the Orcish men behind her. She might as well keep her eyes peeled. Just in case.
They all kicked up so much snow, it almost looked like fog was traveling behind them. This slowed the Orcs slightly. Hand and eye coordination was not one of their strengths.
Alice nearly flung into the door, knocking on it, trying to get it open, "ALIANOR!"
The door was quickly unlocked as everyone fell in. The Orcs had fallen on each other and all argued on who should get up first. Alianor and Alice stepped over them into the snow. Alianor's hair seemed like it would fly off her head from the howling winds. A small wooden row boat lay leaning against the shed covered in snow. The girls quickly brushed it off and took it from it's place.
The Orcs came bustling out of the doorway. Both girls, now lifting the boat from end to end looked at each other. The Orcs quickly noticed them and charged to Alice and Alianor. Using the boat as a weapon, the girls charged towards the Orcs charged towards them. They rammed the boat into the guts of the Orcs, who staggered slightly. Alice took and ore from within the boat and used it as a weapon in quick use. An Orc swung a sword down at Alice who blocked it with the ore. The sword stuck within the wood. Kicking the man in the crotch Alice unstuck the sword and jammed in right into his skull, killing on impact. Alianor took two blades from within their holders and threw them straight into the eyes of another Orc. Blinded, he swung his mace around for protection, hitting the other orc many times before they both fell down. One dead, one blinded.
The girls dragged the boat to the iced water. Placing it in the water, they boarded. They could not sleep this time. They must row, by hand.
Rowing for hours in intense weather made Alice and Alianor become hungered. They hadn't eaten in days! Well, for all Alice knows, Alianor didn't either, though she was kept in a shed full of supplies and food. Slowing their pace, they began to wonder where land could have been. They might be stranded out in the cold for awhile. How could anything delectable live out here? Might they get back, they'd await a feast for their long adventure. Nice warm beds, and maybe a nice greeting would be good, too! Unfortunately, that may be only a dream. For once Alice was lost. How would they get back home from here?
This chapter looked longer in the other format. I told you I didn't like it. Anyways, I hope you liked it. I might edit it a bit tomorrow, as some parts I am not too happy about. So if you go to read it sometime tomorrow, I am probably replacing it with better content. If you see typos or grammar issues, feel free to tell me. I WILL fix it if it bothers you. Thanks. Stay Dark!
