I awoke to the same lady who sold me the food telling me I was here. I got off the train and stretched. I decided to find a place to eat and found a place that had all day breakfast. I checked my watch and it was 10 am. I had a huge plate of sausage and pancakes and started wandering around Long Island. I had been wandering for so long that I was about to head in for lunch and then I saw him. All thoughts vanished of food vanished from my mind as I ran at him. The next part is kind of hard to explain because I don't really remember what happened. Here's what I do remember: I ran at him and all of a sudden i was hit by something right as I was about to reach him. Then I watched him lean over me and then I passed out. I awoke to the man standing over me still. I looked around to see where I was and I was on the sidewalk next to the road. I sat up and he told me to take it easy. Then he began to speak. He said," You must travel to a place known as Alaska. In three days, the unspeakable will happen. A great snake wants revenge on the human race for locking him underground millennia ago. This snake's name is Nagini. This snake plans on breaking out of its prison and because it is so huge, leaving the Earth and swallowing it. That's how huge it is and people are trying to help it escape." I thanked him and then asked him who he was and he just smiled sadly and said," That's not important but what is is this quest.". I thanked him again and said goodbye and wondered how I was gonna get to Alaska in three days! Three! It took me two to get from Buffalo to Long Island. Man, I missed the days when I was scrounging for food and pickpocketing. I decided not to waste any time and found the nearest airport. Air travel is the fastest and three days is not a lot of time. Also I had no idea where to go. At least I had a general idea and I knew what I was stopping. I went into the airport and went up to the front desk to get a ticket. Things went wrong immediately. The man spoke into his walkie-talkie and said something that I didn't catch. But all of the sudden everyone at the front desk pulled out a sword. I told all the civilians to step back and i tried to sound confident but what is one man against 10 others in a sword fight. I said a silent prayer to anyone who would listen and then right as I was about to charge Blitz and Apollo appeared by my side. I had so many questions but decided there were more important things to handle right now. Blitz was 19 and a strong one. He had taught himself how to wield a sword. Apollo didn't defend himself and now i saw why. He had green flames in his hand. Maybe he was trying to hide them from me the whole time. He was also a 19 year old. I had so many questions but they had to wait. I charged and so did Blitz. Apollo stood back and threw 2 fireballs and took out two of them. Blitz took out 3 in one swipe and I was taking on 2 a once and the other 3 were coming at me. I swiped at the feet of one knocking him on the ground then turned around and jumped and slammed the hilt of my blade into his skull. He crumpled to the floor like a rag doll and I faced my oncoming attackers. Apollo shot off two more fireballs and sat down out of breath and Blitz took out the other one. I was about to celebrate our victory but then I felt a white-hot pain through my body. I looked down and a point of a sword was sticking through my gut. Blood was everywhere. The last thing I saw before I passed out was Blitz taking him out and then the two of them leaning over me. Then I passed out thinking this is the end and that i failed.
