The Eighth Hero

Chapter 11

3rd person

Aphmau woke up face first on some wooden tiles that looked like a floor. After shaking of her weird dream, she went to sit up when a bottle flew into the wall above her. Shattered glass rained down onto Jess as she lifted her head. Looking around she saw that she was in an old tavern. She was laying by the wall nearest to the door. She went to leave when she turned around to see what had made someone throw a beer bottle. Jess saw a man dodging bottles being thrown at him. She could only see his back so she couldn't identify who it was. She turned a little to see the man throwing the bottles. He was a burly, tough, drunk looking guy. Not wanting to get on his bad side she went to leave again when she heard the man dodging the bottles yell.
"You can't stop what can't be stopped!"

Wait a second, I know that voice. Oh my god what did he do this time. I turn around and walk towards the fighting men. I grabbed the man dodging by the arm and turned him to face me. I immediately face palmed, knowing right away my guess was correct. "What did you do this time Sky?"

His sunglasses (yes I know they're actually eye patches but screw logic) were cracked, he had a scar running down his cheek, and looked quit surprised. "Aph you're here!" I sighed shaking my head." What did you do?" Sky gave me a sheepish grin. "I actually have no clue. I woke up here and then he just started throwing things at me." I was actually disappointed. I wanted to hear some cool story about how he stood up to a drunk guy, but guess not. I looked a little closer at the other man and realized something. "He's scared Sky" Sky just stared at me, confused. "Wouldn't you be scared if some random guy popped up out of no where. Plus he's drunk so he's probably not thinking strait. When I said this Sky relaxed and I let go of his arm, which I didn't realize I was still holding. Then we heard loud foot steps. We turned around to see a man running down some stairs on the opposite wall.

"Stop throwing bottles random customer" she yelled. She grabbed him and quickly pushed him out the door. Slamming the door behind her, she turned toward us. She had pink hair and cat ears and tail (no it's not kawai-chan). She walked toward the stairs and started going up. Sky stared at her and looks at me. "What should we do" he whispered. "Well I guess lea-","come here" the stranger yelled over me. I just shrugged and started walking up the stairs, Sky following. We got up to see a door open on the right wall. I go in and study her face. Oh, now I know who she is.
"How have you been Mousie?" She smiled at me, though it looked a little forced. "Fine" she said sitting down. I gave her an I know your lying look and she gave in. "Aph, Sky, sit down". I sat down on a bean bag chair while Sky sat in one of those spinning chairs. "I don't trust you with that" I said switching places with him. Mousie looked at us grimly.

"You have been chosen as the amulets". "If you don't mind me asking, what is that" I asked. "You and a couple other people were assigned to find the amulets. That's just your group name. The meeting place was attacked so you couldn't get the training you needed. I'm one of the lucky ones who escaped. So Notch already said what you have to do. Find the amulets, but you also need to find something else. Your teammates. When you got teleported out of the building you were all scattered. It was pure luck that you two were together and ended up where I'm working. If you don't have all your team members than you won't be able to make the amulets work. You guys were picked because you all could control one of the amulets. But you have to have all you team. So get out there!" She yelled cheerfully, pushing us down the stairs and out the doors." We believe in you" she yelled closing the door. I turned toward Sky and smiled.

"I think our adventure just began"
