My New Beginning As Chaos

Saving His Sorry Ass

"I'm stuffed!" You sigh in contentment. "I'm also done." Deon adds. "Great! Now let's start our journey!" Cassius says.

"We'll arrive there tomorrow at night, right?" You ask. "That's the plan!" He nods. "Then let's get this show on the road!" You shout as you hop out of your seat and head over to where the horses are.

"Hey! Don't just leave me in the dust!" Deon shouts as he runs after you. "They sure are energetic!" Cassius laughs. "Definitely." The rest nod in agreement.

"Got my weapons!" You put your backpack on. "Got mine too?" Deon asks. "Yep! Here!" You toss him his bag. "Thanks." He puts it on. "Is that one of your new evolutionary inventions?" Rando asks.

"Evolutionary is a tad excessive, but yes." You nod. "What's it called?" Rando #2 asks. "A backpack." You get on your horse. "Wow, when is it gonna be released to the public?" Cassius asks. "Sometime after this fiasco." You sigh. "This what?" He asks. "If you don't know, then never mind." You say. "Okay?" He says as he gets on his horse.

"Stop talking to him. He's way out of your league." Deon smacks Cassius's shoulder harshly. "Oof!" Cassius exclaims.

"Hurry up, slow pokes!" You yell from ahead. "Coming!" Deon shouts. "Keep what I said in mind." He whispers to Cassius before catching up to the group.

"What the hell was that?" Rando #1 asks. "I don't know." Cassius says as he stares at Deon's back, confused. "Hey! Are you coming or not!?" You shout.

"We're coming!" They shout.

"Are we there yet?" You ask. "No." Deon replies. "Are we there yet?" You ask a second later. "Still no." Deon sighs at your antics. "How about now?" You grin mischievously.

"We'll be there shortly." Cassius says from up front. "What about now?" You ask. "Please stop..." Rando #3 begs. "No can do! Are we there yet?" You smile at your comrade before continuing.

"We're going to die before we make it..." Rando #1 cries. "Ok! I'll stop!" You sweatdrop at their remarks.

'I wasn't that annoying.' you roll your eyes.

"THANK YOU HEAVEN ABOVE!" All of them cry in joy. "Dramatic much?" You laugh. "To be fair, they don't live with you. So it's understandable why they're like this." Deon says.

"He does this all the time?" Cassius asks. "Yep." Deon answers.

"We're leaving our horses here! We'll walk the rest of the way!" Cassius announces. "Roger that!" I hop off my horse and so do the others.

"Before we go. I just wanted to say that beyond this point is a war like no other. We'll be facing opponents with unbelievable strength. This fight will be hard, viscous, cruel, and messy. The Demon King is an enemy that the Empire has tried many times to defeat but has yet to succeed. If you aren't ready for what is to come after crossing this point, then I suggest that you turn around. If there are any that wish to retreat, then that's fine. But you have to do it now, because once we begin there's no turning back." Cassius says.

"Now, my question for you. Will you fight beside me in this war?" He asks.

"YEAH!" We all shout together, minus Deon.

"Then let's come back to the Empire victorious!" He yells. We all cheer and start heading towards the battle.

"Deon! Pull out your other dagger now. It's better to be prepared." You whisper shout to him. "Ok." He grabs it. "What's so special about this dagger anyway? You never told me why I needed it." Deon asks me.

"It's a secret! You'll understand once you use it!" You grin. "So it's extra dangerous. Got it." He sighs. "You know me so well!" You chuckle.

"You got your blowgun ready?" Deon asks. "Yep! And loads of amo in my waist holster!" You answer. "And you're throwing knives in your armpit holster, I see." He says. "Mhm!" You nod.
