IRIS - Hunt of Wendigo

The Story: Hunt of Wendigo

The Story: Hunt Of Wendigo

Upon landing on the surface of Gythanias, Goliath looked around. All he saw was nothing but huge clouds and mountains going as big to the point of impaling through the atmosphere. There was barely any forests visible, since they were mostly covered in dim fog. Another thing Goliath saw was a huge kingdom looming in the distance, standing on top of the largest mountain on the planet; The Summit of Gythanias, as the locals call it. While Goliath knew that Wendigo was here, he didn't know his exact location. His only option was to track him down by asking the locals, so he headed towards the mysterious kingdom.

While roaming the forests, following the path to the kingdom, Goliath was suddenly ambushed by lunatic tribemen. This was not a small army, it was actually quite big enough to overwhelm Goliath. He knew he was in for a fight, not having any other choice.

Goliath: ,,Bring it on! Peace Be Thy Name... Death Be Thy Fate..."

Goliath drew out his scythe and lunged towards the tribemen, already beheading what seems to be ten of them. Even having the Ether Snakes by his side, shortly enough Goliath became overwhelmed, as even more tribemen came. But suddenly, a mysterious figure appeared. This figure managed to command most of the tribemen away from Goliath, saving his life.

???: ,,God's sake... Hyde really cannot stop attacking random visitors, can he? Aw come on, get up." The mysterious figure lended a hand to Goliath.

???: ,,You're not hurt?"

Goliath: ,,No... who are you? Who were they?"

???: ,,Oh, good to hear um... Those maniacs you fought earlier? Those were mine and brother's tribemen. We call ourselves 'Ravagers'. My name is Jekyll by the way, nice to meet you."

Goliath: ,,Umm... nice to meet you too. Name's Goliath." They shook hands.

Jekyll: ,,Anyways, where were you headed?"

Goliath: ,,Towards the huge kingdom. I need to find my brother Wendigo."

Jekyll: ,,Huh... our king? Well- Wait... you're... that's... impossible. You're the omen child... Uh yeah, he's there, but he never gives warm welcomes to anyone he has never seen. Plus, the kingdom is also exactly where we, Ravagers reside so... I don't think you're prepared to fight a horde ten times the size of what you already fought."

Goliath: ,,I guess you're right... even the IRIS couldn't stand a chance..."

Jekyll: ,,The what?"

Goliath: ,,The eye of the beholder. Despite having immense power, it couldn't process the egregious amount of these lunatics." Goliath slightly took off his visor, revealing a shiny green rock that was shaped like an eye.

Jekyll: ,,Alright... I think you can find something that could make you manage this hurdle. The Tyrant's Sledgehammer. This relic of the past is hidden in the Malice Stronghold where a race of intimidating creatures used to live; The Tyrants. These creatures used to torture the other races to death, but then suddenly started to die out as their future king fled Gythanias. Some say he left to pursue peace than torture, some say he left as a coward."

Goliath: ,,Huh... where can I find this stronghold?"

Jekyll: ,,Take this map. Venture far away from the left part of the kingdom, and soon you'll see a massive broken down structure. That is the Stronghold. And be wary, because this Stronghold is riddled with traps guarding the relic and only the chosen one can claim the sledgehammer. I think You are the chosen one."
