Captured By Squids *remake*

Chapter 5

(You will find out who the mystery character is soon enough ;3)
-----
The skeletons and I walked down the narrow hall, the sounds of our steps echoing off the dank walls. I honestly wanted to run as fast as I possibly could, but I had to hold my composure. I signed myself into this....and there isn't a sign out column.

"Come on Sorcerer, HE wants to meet with you." One of the skeletons said, pushing me forward. I stumbled, but caught myself. I looked back at him, angrily.

"May I remind you that if it wasn't for me you would be dead right now?" I retaliated. The skeleton opened his mouth to argue, but then closed it. I smirked, and kept walking.

I could hear the sound of running water. I could also smell something utterly revolting. It made me want to gag.

"Ah, we are almost there, young sorcerer." The skeleton said, smiling. It's bones clanked against one another, making my skin tingle. The other 2 skeletons took the lead in front of me, and led me further down the hall of stone, where I could see in the distance, and bright light. As we approached, the smell got even worse, and I legitimately gagged. The skeleton just pushed me forward, and I fell to my knees at the foot of opening. I growled, and stood back up. I moved the small vines that were covering the entrance, only to be met with a crowd of squids.

"Enjoying the view of your new home huh?" One of the skeleton's said, putting a bony hand on my shoulders. I said nothing. The skeleton just led me over to a large, blue building that had City Hall etched into the stone. I walked through the front door, and was met with a large squid fountain, and a few squid-like girls sitting behind the receptionist desk. One the the girls just merely looked at the skeleton with me, and motioned to a room on my right. I followed the skeleton, and he led me into a giant room with a large squid kingdom symbol design in the floor. There was a semi large desk sitting on one side of the room, and a small chair sitting in front of the desk.

"Well done, Skelly. Bring him here." A voice said. I looked around, seeing no-one. Suddenly, the chair behind the desk spun around, and revealed a squid in a black tux with a name tag that said Mayor. The skeleton led me over to the seat and say me down. The skeleton then left, and I turned my attention to the squid.

"Why Hello." The squid said. I just sat there, my arms crossed.

"Whaddya want Squillium." I asked, annoyed.

"It's Mr. Mayor to you." The squid said gruffly. I huffed.

"Whatever. Just tell me what you want so I can get on with my life." I said, looking at the squid. The squid laid back in his chair.

"Alright. I need a favor from you, sorcerer." The squid said.

"What kind?" I asked, eyeing him. What ever this guy wanted, I knew it was going to be some dirty work.

"Well, I won't put this lightly, Sorcerer." The squid said, looking me square in the eyes. "As you know, from, ahem, past experience, the Sky Kingdom and Squid Kingdom have a long and brutal rivalry. And for a while, those foolish Sky recruits have been tampering with us, and slaughtering innocent squids. So, I'm asking you to do some dirty work." The squid said, laying his tentacles on the desk. I stared at him.

"No way. I'm not doing that." I said, looking at him.

"I knew you would respond like this." The squid said, looking at me. He then smiled. "That's why I asked my secretary to pull out this very...important document." The squid said, pulling a paper out of his desk drawer. He laid it in front of me, and smiled.

"Do you remember this, sorcerer?" He asked, and I gingerly picked it up. As soon as I read the title, my eyes grew wide.

Flashback

"Fine! I don't need you guys! I can go elsewhere!" I yelled, stomping out of the Sky Kingdom main hall. The rest of team crafted stood there, their backs turned at their faces cross. I ran out of the front gate, tears running down my face. I had just been kicked out of team crafted, for a reason I don't know why. I ran into the nearest cave I could, and went down to the farthest level I could. I then sat down, and sobbed. They told me I wasn't needed. The kicked me out of the only place I called home.

Well, I'll show them. I'll show them all. I thought to myself, wiping the tears from my eyes.

"So...those no-do-gooders finally kicked you out, didn't they?" I heard someone say in the cave. I looked around the cave, looking for the person the voice came from.

"Where are you?! Show yourself!" I said, small embers forming at my fingertips.

"Well, if you insist." The voice said, and in a few moments, I was surrounded by a crowd of squids.

"S-stay back.... I know what your capable of... Your not going to cut off this sorcerer's head. No way." I stuttered. The squids just looked at me, confused.

"Ah, my squid, this is only normal response from a FORMER Sky army recruit. He has been brainwashed into thinking WE are the enemy." A squid said, walking...or in his case, slithering to the front of the crowd. "Where in retrospect, WE are the hero's. The Sky army is the enemy." The squid said, and the squids whooped. I looked at them, confused.

"I understand your confused. But listen to me first." The squid said. I nodded uncertainly. "Great. Listen, we know you were just kicked out of Team crafted. Well, we can help you get revenge on those goody-two shoes. We can show them you do belong there, and they will be begging to get you back. All you have to do is-" the squid said, holding up a piece of paper,"-is to sign here." The squid, pointing a line at the bottom of the paper.

I looked unsure at the squid. I knew they were untrustworthy, but I wanted to get back at Sky and the rest of his friends for hurting me. Well, everyone except Ty. I looked back at the paper, and closed my eyes. I pointed my finger at the paper, and with a flick of my index finger, my name was signed on the paper. The squids whooped.

"Good job sorcerer, tell us, what is your name?" The squid asked, rolling up the paper.

"My name is Seto." I said powerfully. The squids all whooped one last time, and led me out of the cave.

Flashback ends-

"You signed your soul to us. And you signed with magic. You can't break it unless you want to lose your magic." The squid said, smirking. I glared at him.

"Fine, what do I have to do." I said, crossing my arms. The squid smiled.

"Find as much gold as you can."
