Zak Storm - The Chosen One

Game of Hide-and-Seek in Vapir

Bones didn't let Ria out of sight for a second, as they were crossing the portal to Vapir. The closer they got to the fortress, the more nervous Ria seemed to get. Bones sent away two of his skeletons that were standing next to her all the time. "Leave us alone, I will personally bring her to my Master." Ria dodged Bones's eyes. She had to think of Zak all the time - she didn't even know if it was even possible to heal him. 

Skullivar put on a slight, vicious grin when he saw the Demoniac coming. Ria was driven forward and they walked through the many corridors of the fortress. A door opened and Bones hit Ria with his hook. Skullivar had turned his back on them. "My Master, I bring you Eleriah Storm." Skullivar became audible. "Bones, leave us alone." "As you wish." 

S: "So - you're Zak's other half." 

R: "I don't know what to tell you..." 

S: "Oh, I think a lot. And you will tell me what I want to know." 

R: "You are responsible for my brother's suffering and I will not help you make it worse." 

S: "You have been a thorn in my side for years. (raises his hand and rips the chain off Ria's neck) This artefact is very powerful... It will strengthen my power and destroy the Chosen One." 

R: "You'll never win!" 

S: "But you are wrong!" 

Suddenly, the fortress was shaken and Skullivar dropped the amulet. Ria took the chance and made her way out of the room. "Seize her!" cried Skullivar angrily. The skeletons immediately went in search while Ria had escaped into the ventilation shafts. If she was out of the fortress, it would be easy to escape. 

At the end of the shaft was the basement, where fortunately no one was. This had to be the engine room that gave Skullivar's fortress power. She took her pocket knife and cut through the wires, until it became dark. Ria sneaked around in the engine room until two skeletons came in her direction. "Guardians of the Desert, give me your strength," she whispered, splitting the skeletons into a thousand pieces. 

She continued to run in the hope of finding an exit somewhere. Then, Bones came to meet her. Panicked, she went looking for a hiding place. "General, the energy supply has been cut." "That Storm! Find her!" 

Ria fled further upstairs. She had no idea where she was, but it was better than being chased by the skeletons. The moment she thought she was safe, elite skeletons came towards her and forced her to the edge of the dome. "Give up and sign yourself to your fate!" demanded Bones. Ria looked down, and realised there was no other escape route. Ria had no choice - she had to jump. She took a deep breath and set a foot off the dome. Just milliseconds later, she was in free fall, unaware of what might happen right away.
