"Ahhh!!!!!!" Lee screamed as I pushed her away from the falling tree and unsheathed my weapon. Then my heart dropped as an ogre emerged from the shadows. "Jay! Get Syn out of here! Gabriel, Lee, and I will fight it off!"

I run over to help Lee up then she does something unexpected. She twists her hands and ice comes out of then pelting the ogre. Jal jumps on his back and starts slicing while I shoot with my bow from afar. After a while the ogre comes down and we get a breather. "We need to go find them. Now."

We found them in the tavern in Ringwave sitting at a table. We bought a room and I passed out when I hit the bed.

I see people fighting...An Orc....He's charging at Jal....I can't talk....What's going on?

I'm gasping for breath as I wake up. 'Everyone else is asleep, thank Khalin.' I think to myself then I pass out again.

In the morning Jal takes me out to train. I notice a scar on his arm and ask "Where did you get that scar from?" "War. I was second in command with the old king by my side. I watched him die that day. And when that happened I let my guard down and I got a sword to my arm." We didn't say another word.
