Prophecy Of Destruction- Book 1

ADVENTURE- CH 2

On the trail we are five days from the town we found ourselves in. I feel something uneasy and jump back, right before an arrow impaled me, it hits the ground in front of me. I scan the trees. I see some disturbances in three of the trees. Waluigi the Mighty did not think about scanning the trees and threw a javelin in a random direction. We hear a thunk, a small noise, and we see blood start to trickle down the tree. He managed to kill one, by not even checking if something was there. Big D, outraged that he did not get the first kill, rushes over to a tree and, using his huge axe, chops clean through the tree and kills another creature by crushing it with a tree.

I rush over to the tree and see what the creature was. I see a small green creature with a long nose and a pointy set of ears.

"Goblins!" I shout to my group. I know when they fight, there is always a pack of them. The final goblin in the tree blows a horn and we hear thunder. I see ten more goblins, and seventeen wargs.

"Shit!" I exclaim as I run to climb up the closest tree. Everyone tries to get up the trees but only some succeed. Taylia climbs on the same tree as me. Everyone but Big D, Waluigi, and Lord Darkmin cannot climb the trees. Big D, screws up so bad, that he faceplants into the tree Finn is hiding in. The shocks make Finn lose his footing and he falls to the ground. The wargs begin to maul him as soon as he falls. All hell breaks loose. We have no formation and we just attack with whatever we have. An arrow almost hits Taylia and she dives out of the way. She slams into me and we both tumble out of the tree. She is pressed against me and I feel my heart race. Hers is also racing but something tells me it is not from fighting.

A warg starts to close in on us and I use a lighting attack to hit ten of them at once. They all went down, all of their hearts exploded in their chests. The goblins who were riding the Wargs, where thrown off when the wargs died and also died with their necks at the wrong angles. The others clean up the mess and we are victorious. Taylia and I are breathing heavily even though we have not exerted ourselves. She slowly gets off of me, and she is blushing ferociously. I am also blushing but I can't tell why. 

...

Later we are setting up camp for the night and I volunteer to be a watcher. I start the fire and everyone else goes to sleep. I take a perch in a tree to get a good view of everything. I do miss the fact that Taylia is not in her spot by the fire. I realise when she lays on the branch next to me, cat like.

"Hey" she says with a voice like silk "How are you."

"I don't know. I have been locked away for a long time and I do not know what is going on right now." I reply by being honest.

"Well, I know what I am feeling." she says, her eyes sliding up and down my body. I learned to be cautious around Dark Elves but for some reason, I feel like she is being sincere.

"I don't know what I should do." I say, not entirely sure with what I mean.

"I do," she says as she inches closer to me. I can feel the heat of her breath on my cheek. I suddenly cannot control my emotions. I pull her close and kiss her deeply. We kiss all night wishing time would stop.

_________________________________________

In the morning, we continue our journey. We finally reached the town after weeks of travel. We head to the market for supplies. I get more food and some metal. We have a meeting with the Mayor soon and we are about to go over and meet him, when horns are blown on the wall. We rush to the top and see more goblins and bugbears (very large goblin) approaching the town, in siege formation. Screw it. I think as I jump over the outcropping on the wall. I roll with the momentum and my 'friends' come out the gate.

"Show off." Big D says as I prepare for battle. I taught them the formations we should use. There are many different alignments. Chaotic good, lawful good, neutral good, lawful neutral, true neutral, chaotic neutral, lawful evil, neutral evil, and chaotic evil. All of them have reasonable alignments, like Lawful good, but I am Chaotic Neutral. I like causing Chaos. They stay in the main formation, Tanks in the front and ranged attackers in the back, and I go and destroy the enemy lines. Taylia sneaks to the back, and flanks them.

I rush into battle, killing ten goblins as I pass. I can't see Taylia, she is very good at sneaking around. The main group is picking off the goblins who are confused in the chaos. I smirk with all the chaos I have caused. While I was distracted I was blindsided by a hit from the bugbear. I go flying across the field and slam into a bolder that was sticking out of the ground. Shit! I think to myself as I see the bugbear close in. Right when he is looming over me, I see a shadow jump up from the ground. I smile as Taylia snaps the bugbears neck from behind.

"You owe me one." she says with a huge grin on her face.

"Nah, I saved you against the pirates, and the wargs. If anything, you owe me." I say, also grinning.

She helps me up and we go over to check on the rest of the party. It was a slaughter. The goblins never stood a chance. We had to cut our celebration short because the Mayor came out the gates to greet us.

"I was skeptical if you would be able to take on the tasks I have for you when I first heard about you, but today was evidence that you could take on a lot more than what I have in mind." he says with a cocky attitude. My expression begins to darken as I realize who he reminds me of. The old man I met outside the gates. I barely managed to rain in my emotions before I killed him.

"There are a bunch of missing caravans and merchants from the city. They all disappeared while taking one particular route. Please go check it out. I will reward you handsomely." The mayor states. He points us in the direction and takes charge of the cleanup crew.

So this is what it comes to. I think. We go from job to job. Killing everything in our path. I love it. We start our long journey to where the disappearances were reported.
