The Guide of Argos

Chapter Two

(A/N)I don't have time to make a theme so here's one that I think represents the story well.What do you think will happen next? Like and comment this story for more.

Falcon was woken up by Ileo, who told them that they are now at Antersburg now, where hopefully they can hide until the Headmaster calls off the National Guard to search for them. At first, Falcon opposed the plan and he says" Doing this may lead us into a trap set by the Guard or traitors who are willing to sell us off to the Headmaster in exchange for a large amount of money and/or important government positions in the new Human Republics, which according to the news, The Headmaster has already taken control of Talmar, one of the most influential Human Republics. As they left the train and went towards the loud and busy downtown to continue their conversation because no one will hear them there. Falcon still won't believe Ileo's assurances that they will be safe here but then before Falcon could even say a word, an army of demons are heading in their direction. Falcon and Ileo decided it would be best to stay the night in Antersburg because the sky is getting dark now anyways. They went to a local inn where they ate dinner, made a plan and finally fell asleep at 9:30.

When morning came, they decided to leave Antersburg as well because the local Xartrid faction finally surrendered to the Talmar forces. Now that they have nowhere else to go, they decided to go and find any record of Argos, as now the Headmaster is being indirectly controlled by Argos using Dark Magic and with that information, they could possibly stand a fighting chance against him. They left Antersburg at the crack of dawn and began to go to Hethlrgry Fort, located in the Goblin Capital of Deflesgard. They know that they will be facing heavy resistance from the goblins because they don't trust anyone, Human or Elf. After all, it was Humans and Elves who had driven the Goblins out of their traditional territories all those thousands of years ago so they have good reason to do what they normally do(raid Human settlements.)They narrowly escaped from some missiles fired at the city, as the robots want to kill everyone in the city. When they get to the train station, they arrived there in vain as the last train has just gone. While they are thinking about what to do, a robot sneakily approached them, sensing that there are still people there. It raises its mechanical arm with a vroom as it starts to search the station. As it searched the station, the two decided not to make a sound-until Ileo accidentally sneezed. From there, the robot is able to pinpoint exactly where they are and starts advancing towards them. Falcon didn't know what to do until he hears the robot's power running out. That's when he noticed an army of ordinary people led by a mysterious man.

He helps them up and then Falcon asked"W-why are you here? And who are you guys?" The man gave him a small smirk and replied"Oh didn't you know? We are the Antesburg Rebels. You see, for years we haven't congregated because of the cruel governor. But now, as his empire crumbles, we will be the ones to take the reins of destiny. As the crowd cheered, Falcon couldn't help but wonder what is going on."Oh, and my name's Raymond if you want to know."The day ends with Raymond leading them out of the tunnel and them talking about future plans. After that, they went their separate ways, with Raymond going to some mountain while Ileo and Falcon set off to the Goblin kingdom. Before they left, Raymond gave them some useful tips for travelling to the Goblin Kingdom. He said"Give the guard at the West Gate a sack of coins. Those Goblins will do anything for money even if it will cost their lives. They have no loyalties at all and frequently people would even assassinate the King, just to gain more wealth."He then muttered something under his breath that I wouldn't want to repeat again. Then after some more advice, our heroes are ready to embark on their next journey.

They go on the 3rd road, where it is safer and bandits won't attack them. There's also a nice hostel nearby, where they will stay for the night. However, what the guide fails to notice are the number of wild creatures out there and also the fact that it does seem scarier than the 5th road, which while still dangerous, at least has no wild creatures nearby. They finally arrived at the hostel and booked a room for them to share. As the room light flickers on and off, they start to empty out their packs that they've "raided" from the academy. They predict that the food inside the packs would last them at least a week if they preserved it well. Luckily, the hostel is not far from a local shop down into Cameron City, the entertainment capital of the entire world. Falcon went to the shop but still couldn't ignore the performances going on in the city. Falcon now wondered if anyone could even sleep here. The bright lights of the party seem to hurt his eyes even when he wore an eyemask. When he got back, it was 11:30 NM(Night Minute)already and Ileo has already fallen asleep. Nevertheless, he preserved every piece of food they've got and he too soon fell asleep. The next day, they went into the city to ask for a guide, but everybody claimed they didn't know the way although Falcon thought they were just plain afraid of the monster inside the temple. They went to the temple but ended up in a trapdoor. Falcon kept hearing these eerie sounds as if there were ghosts haunting the temple right before their eyes. Ileo saw a staff and plucked it out but it reveals a boulder heading straight in their direction...
