[color:"00cccc"]“Thank you my friends for all that you have done for me. Its getting late I need some rest good night.” I wander off away from the others but still in sight next to a tree.
I woke up staring at the stars in the midnight sky. Feeling slightly cold I tugged on my blanket only to realize I never had a blanket. I had on only what I wore as I lay upon the grass next to an underneath a tree. I had chosen this spot away slightly away from group for it seemed by habit. I had slept in the shadows for the past 3 years watching my back. Perhaps it was time to break old habits and sleep near the group, comforting myself near the warm fire.
I got up, dusting myself off quietly not to disturb anyone. I turned and looked at my fellow companions. All of them appeared to be asleep. My companions seemed a strange bunch; most I didn’t even know by name except one, he called himself Jurak. I wish some of them would introduce themselves. Alas they were suspicious of me, and rightfully so. They have no idea what trouble they have welcomed into their group. I had left the Blood Ring against their will, I was a deserter to them and they wanted me dead.
I wished I were back home with my father and mother. But there was nothing to return home to, except a lonely house full of sadness. Having the Blood Ring chase me after all these years made matters worse. Now I had some direction in my life besides just trying to stay alive, I would follow my fellow companions on their quests. Perhaps along the roads I will find the meaning of my life or be sent along another path to travel. All that matters is that I survive to carry on my bloodline. I’m the last member of my family alive.
I hugged my cloak tightly around myself and moved to find a new sleeping spot close to the fire. I halted my movement and spun around. I saw something glowing eerily red moving in the woods. I decided to take a closer look at the source. I walked back to my original sleeping spot and was shocked. I saw the glowing eerily red source move deeper into the woods, so I followed.
I finally came to a clearing and confronted the glowing eerily red source. There were six giant red fireflies just flying around in a pentagram in midair. I turned around at the sound of feet disturbing the leaves on the ground behind me a couple of meters. I soon found myself trapped.
There was a mysterious red-cloaked figure in front of me now. The red-cloaked figure spoke, “We will take you back and kill you as a lesson to others. Before we kill you, we’ll tear your flesh off and make your blood boil in your veins while your still alive. Then we will sacrifice you to our master. I leave you, to my minions.” With that the red-cloaked figure disappeared.
I noticed a mist or haze on the ground when 6 skeletons shot up from the earth. They wielded rusted swords and maces wearing ancient armor and they stood taller then me. There was a huge giant skeleton among them, which had a crown on its head and held a two-handed halberd. I jumped back from the shock and felt for my two-handed great sword, and just in time as a red like giant demon creature jumped down before me from the trees. It stood twice as tall as the giant skeleton. Having red scaly skin and two white horns protruding from its skull. It lunged at me with its long white claws and it’s fangs.
I pulled my huge great sword free.
