Yona

The Grove

There was a soft drumming in the distance that I wasn't sure what to make of.

It could be civilization, it could be goblins, or even ogres. Please don't let it be ogres.. anything but. The last time I threw down with an ogre- I used so much energy conjuring a sleet storm to knock it off it's feet then having to conjure a guardian as well when the sleet storm had no prevail.

Gale was particularly excited to reach any type of civilization to find a healer so he can get back to his goddess Mystra. I've heard many stories of the goddess Mystra- most good but some bad. Naturally the goddess of magic would be balanced within her actions of morally good or bad- no one will ever have the same opinion twice about her. Gale gushed over her as he is Mystra's chosen and must make it back to her beg and call as soon as he can.

"OPEN THE GATE DAMNIT!" a man's voice rang out, not too far away. We all take one look at each other and begin jogging down the dirt path and around a small cliff to see a group of fighters standing in front of a wooden gate- yelling up at Tiefling guards. "HURRY THERES A PACK OF GOBLINS ON OUR ASS!" he snapped up at them as a large Tiefling man pushed through the guards, his face plastered with anger as he looked down on the fighters. "You brought them here?!?!" he yells back, soon followed a row. A pack of goblins run behind the fighters and begin attacking them, "Damn it- ATTACK!" the Tiefling man yelled and all out chaos erupted.

"Do we help them or do we move on?!" i ask aloud and gale pushes past me with no hesitation. "INT" ,Gale's voice booms as his hands glow brightly and a powerful blast shoots out of his hands and strikes a goblin dead. Astarion groans, pulling his dagger as he runs in and begins slashing away at goblins. I feel my heart race as i run in after them with laezel and shadow heart following closely behind, I extends my hand and focus my energy on conjuring fire and focusing my shot onto two goblins ganging up on the man who screamed for the gates to open. "IGNIS", my voice boomed. The goblins crumbled with hellish screams as the fighter recovered himself, "Thank you!" he yelled to me as i passed him. Shadow heart followed closely with a mace, swinging it wilding into the face of goblins and easily blocking blows with her sturdy shield.

sudden launched 3 feet back and into gale who caught me and cushioned my fall. His medium yet muscular build wrapping around me as we fell through the air and smack into the ground with a hard thud. I groan as gale unwraps his arms from me- letting me get up. Gale smelled sweet and sickly like most arcane magic does but he had a hint of his own scent. The scent of warm pine? Maybe even lemons? I push myself off of Gale and he pulls himself up off the ground and immediately begins casting more deadly spells and killing goblins swiftly, as I push myself through the never ending chaos of high elf's and teiflings defending their home from goblins.

I whisper a chant and conjure a floating axe that begins swinging or wildly at anything I point at. SHINKK' the sound of a sword tearing through my right shoulder and I scream out as I spin around and kick the intruder in the gut. "IGNIS" I shout a fireball into the intruder and a blood curling scream escapes their lips as they crumble. I hold my bloody shoulder as I run for cover behind a boulder, my breath fast and quick as the pain coarser through me. "YONA!" Shadow heart calls for me as she runs to me throughout the chaos, ducking and diving through blows until she eventually made it to me, her hands glowed as she pressed her palms onto my open wound. I winced as I felt the muscle and skin tissue pulling back together slowly, the blood seeping back into my arm drip by drip. I bite back my yelps of pain and wiggle under her touch, "hold still damnit!" She snaps.

A cry echos through the chaos and thunder strikes down on the remaining goblin, I snap my head up to see the culprit of the devastating thunder blast was gale.. he was so powerful. More powerful then me, expected from mystra's chosen.. I was jealous..
