Calling Destiny

Chapter 2-Begin!

Mia-Kay wakes up with a start, she finds herself in a strange and frightening looking forest surrounded by eyes staring at her in the darkness. Where am I? What's going on? Is this a dream? She takes out her bow ready to defend herself, she walks through the dark forest. Where is Kay-Jaw? She wonders. Something in the distance jumps at her. It's an ugly, 4 legged monster. Fur black as night and eyes as red as the blood of her enemies. Right! Do what my master showed me! Channel the fire into my bow and arrows. She focuses her mind on the fire within her. Time freezes for a moment, her bow and arrow light up like the brightest star. She draws her bow at the creature before her and takes the shot, hitting it in the arm. It staggers away in submission. "Good it's gone." It starts to rain, not a little but a lot, thunder, lightning, this was a storm. She quickly realizes a mud slide was coming upon her fast. It comes straight at her and—

Mia-Kay opens her eyes, flying into the sitting position, breathing heavily. "What the hell..?" she whispers to herself. Was that...a dream? She wakes in the temple, getting up she goes to talk to Jazargo. "Master! I had a vision I think." He looks at her intently. "Do tell me what this vision was about." he asks. She spends 2 long hours explaining exactly what had happened during her vision. "It would appear that creature you saw was a reek-ling, a minion of an incredibly powerful dragon known as Numinex." Says Jazargo. "Oh? And how do I get to this dragon? Can I kill it like a lesser dragon?" she asks anxiously. "No, I'm afraid not he cannot be slain easily, he is unlike any other dragon you may have fought before. He is no mortal dragon either. He uses the souls of others and devours them, the more souls he absorbs the more powerful he becomes. If you do run into him you probably would meet him in his human form, he blends himself so people such as yourself cannot track him. This is what he looks like." Says Jazargo with a stern face, Numinex has black hair with purple tips, very ruffled up, red eyes pale skin and wears a long black turtle neck coat around his grey shirt and ripped jeans. He has black horns on his head as well. "You must travel to his realm of apothecary, though you are not yet strong enough to kill him and you are not able to with stand the realm yet either. You need training, lots of training." He looks in Kay-Jaws direction. "You as well Kay-Jaw, you need a new weapon. Cause the one you have will not be good enough." Jazargo hands Kay-Jaw a massive sword that's black as night and covered in a special coating that can kill anyone who is mortal easily. It has blue and purple flames around the blade and an incredibly strong aura of death. "Use it well, and be careful. This sword can kill even the toughest enemies in this world." He looks as Kay-Jaw with a stern look. Kay-Jaw gulps and slowly draws his hands towards the weapon, he takes the weapon. "Thank you, Master." Jazargo looks at both the young warriors. "We need to find out one thing though, you need to find out who awoke Numinex from the sleep he was in. so you are to go under cover, you Mia-Kay are going to be a guest at the party in the Elven Embassy and Kay-Jaw you will also be a party guest. First give Kay-Jaw you weapons and armor, you cannot be armed to the teeth at this party. So put these on." He hands Mia-Kay Party clothes. A very expensive white lace, off-the-shoulder dress that flows nicely. "The party will be tomorrow evening, hope you're prepared for it, both of you." Both Kay-Jaw and Mia-Kay look at each other with somewhat serious faces and nod.

{The Next Day}

Kay-Jaw nervously awaits for Mia-kays arrival at the front gates of the party. He spots her and smiles excitedly. "Took you long enough." He hands her a bouquet of roses. She takes his arm and they walk in as she says. "Sorry, I- it took a while to get ready." She giggles un-easily. "Master said that there would be someone who could help us out, looks like that's him." They looks in the direction of a wood elf, he looks at them and smiles subtly. He seems to be a bar tender at the party, serving drinks to the guests. "Ok, um... I'll go talk to him" says Mia-Kay as she walks towards the wood elf. He smiles politely at Mia-Kay. "What can I get for you?" he says out loud. She whispers to him, "hey how do I get past the guards and other guests, uh...Mill-burn was it?" he nods and whispers something to her that cannot be read. "I'll see if we have another bottle of that miss" he says out loud. "I'll be waiting by the door for everyone to be distracted." He whispers. Mia-Kay walks away from him towards Kay-Jaw who was talking to a guest. "Kay-Jaw may I steal you for a second?" she grabs his arm gently leading him away from the crowd. "What is it?" he asks, "got any leads?" he whispers. "Well... I need you to cause a distraction long enough for me to slip past the guards, ok?" he nods confirming he's ready. She walks over to Mill-burn, waiting for the distraction to start. C'mon Kay-Jaw don't screw this up! "Excuse me everyone! Everyone, may I get your attention please...." Mia-Kay and Mill-burn hurry to the kitchen. "Ok, whatever you do, don't say anything—let me do the talking I mean. This way!" he motions for her to follow. An un-familiar cat is in the room in front of Mia-Kay, who could it be? It was Telvani, a cook at the party. "Mill-burn, who is this new smell in my kitchen?" she asks. Quick to respond he says "just a guest feeling ill, leave her be please." Telvani looks at Mia-Kay with a glare. "If you say so..." she says suspiciously. "Your gear is in that chest, get it and get out before anyone notices I'm gone. Ill lock the door behind you and then you're on your own Mia-Kay. Good luck. "Says Mill-burn. She walks through the door and something knocks her down, her vision goes blurry and she passes out.
