“Ah the famed general of Bigantria. Why do we have the pleasure of a personal visit from you?”
“I think you know danged well why I am here. You will be handing back over the princess now.” She paused for a moment. “Ris why are you glow… ah it doesn’t matter.”
Kailvan thought for a moment. “So, general, what was your oaths again. I Have heard Ris say it before. Something about protecting the nation, the queen, AND the princess from harm? Am I wrong? The queen has ordered the execution of the princess. Do you have no honor?”
Kailvan was trying to plant a seed. The seed could grow miraculously over time, or it could whither and die if she had become completely cold of heart.
“I….. Welll…. Its not……” The general was tripping over her words. Her sense of honor had been attacked, one thing she holds dear to herself.
Kailvan saw the little girl approach from behind her before the rest of the people did. The young girl put a finger to her lips, and smiled gently his way. While he couldn’t hear her, from what he could lip read, it looks like she said, “Fa’ren, allow them to escape.”
Out of the wall, a wolf with a dragon tail jumped forward. The general didn’t see it until it was upon her. She tried slicing upward with her blade, but the blade was knocked out of her hand before she could fully react.
“Let’s get out of here while she is distracted. They sprinted forward, past the little girl. Kailvan yelled thank you on the way past. To which she whispered, “Anything for you Kailvan.”
They proceeded down the stairs further to arrive at the cavern from earlier, where the giant cockroach creatures roamed. They could use it to get to Uropt, and finally be in safety. They hopped in to the attached carriage, and made their way toward Uropt
---------------
At Uropt, a bounty had been placed for Kinaristl’s head, and the bounty hunter was more than happy to oblige. The description she had been provided was a faatle of darker colors, a male faatle, almost appearing to be of camouflage type colors.
The bounty hunter searched the city of Uropt through and through, but could not find anyone of that description. But they knew what they did. So they asked if there was an item dealer in town. Everyone pointed the bounty hunter to a person with dark brown hair, a monkey tail, and light green garb.
The bounty hunter finally found this person, and asked if they were Kinaristl. “Yes, I am known by this name, who is asking?”
“But…. Aren’t you supposed to be a faatle?”
“I was a faatle… Now I am something more. Part of something greater than this world.”
The bounty hunter quickly grew bored of the cryptic talk. She raised her poisoned axe to Kinaristl. “Now, ‘little one’, you are going to give me all of your wares.”
“I…. I don’t have wares. I barter to obtain stuff, to sell at a slightly higher price, thus allowing me to travel from place to place. I am a bit of an adventurer.”
The bounty hunter was frustrated and swung the axe his/her? way. Kinaristl dove out of the way and immediately jumped upwards, and grabbed onto an overhanging rod with her tail.
The bounty hunter considered her options, and given the lack of items of value on him/her, decided it was not worth pursuing, and continued out of the city. Kinaristl waited a few minutes, and followed suit.
------------
Our heroes arrived in Uropt and immediately headed outside, with the hopes of escaping the city. They were horrified by what they saw. Fireballs were streaming everywhere. Dark wizards were killing as many towns folk as could be found. Cannons were being shot from airships above. The City was going to practically be in ruin. If that wasn’t bad enough, the smog filtration systems that normally keeps smog out of the cities had been damaged, and smog was seeping in, along with the monsters associated with the smog.
“We need to get out of here now, there is no hope for this town.” Kailvan screamed over the roar of the cannons up above.
They sprinted towards the front gates. Along the way, they brutally demolished at least 100 dark wizards, through the clashing of swords, daggers, and the magic of Keke. All the while, while transporting the princess between Kailvan and Ris.
At the front gates, was not a prettier site. A troop of approximately 150 more dark wizards was marching their way into the city. Keke has had enough. Funneling the most powerful spell he has ever done to this point, he combined the elements into one powerful tornado, which he let loose in the center of the dark wizards.
Within 10 seconds, not a single dark wizard was left between them and freedom.
They were just outside the gates when they saw her. The queen in plain sight. Kulja and Ris were both enraged. Kulja saw the person responsible for destroying his home. Ris saw the person trying to destroy the person he was tasked with protecting.
Ris looked at Kailvan. “Go, bring her to the nearby marsh. Protect her, like I know you will.” He looked at Kailvan again, knowing that this could be the last time he would see him. “I am sorry for how I treated you.” He rushed forward with Kulja towards the queen, and Kailvan, carrying the princess, with keke rushed towards the cover of the nearby marsh.
“My queen, you shall answer for your crimes.”
“Ah Ris, d’oth though truly believe that I shall be the one to pay when I have unimaginable…. Are you glowing?”
Ris charged the queen with Kulja jumping into the air, his spear aimed straight for the queen. The queen whipped out a gem, which started to glow brightly. All of a sudden, between the queen and Ris was a giant, black dragon.
The dragon immediately started spitting out blue fireballs at the two of them. Kulja, having been in the air, and a trained dragon warrior, avoided the fireballs with ease. Ris was less fortunate, with the fireballs colliding with him in full force. But….. He appeared unscathed.”
“You dare defy my gellune by surviving that attack?” The queen looked at him with skepticism.
“Guard me, Tamokuaht, I take my leave. This city has fallen anyway. Time to pay a visit to my lovely home of Bigantria.” The dragon takes a defensive stance. Ris charges once more, but the dragon is easily able to knock him down to the ground.
Within moments, the crusade of the city was done, the airships gone, along with the queen, and the dragon disappeared into a portal above.
“We should probably follow after them to the marsh…”
“What did she mean about pay a visit to Bigantria? Is she going to destroy the kingdom she rules?” A look of alarm crossed RIs’s face.
“Do you think we should go to….”
Before Kulja could finish that sentence, an onslaught of mist monsters surrounded them, likely thanks to the defective smog remove in the city.
“If a gellunes attack could not stop me, what thinks any of you minor monsters can!” Ris was empowered by his current state of mind. Approximately 20 monsters surrounded him. He made quick work of all 20 of them within minutes. Kulja barely could get a kill with how quickly Ris moved through them.
“Ris, at some point, we need to talk about why you are glowing like this, and how I can help.”
“Agreed, but some other time. I need to defend my home.”
---------
In the marshes, Keke was working hard on his spell to wake the queen from her sleep.
Keke grunted in frustration. “I am not a curer, this isn’t my wheelhouse. And whoever’s magic did this, they are much stronger than me. Unfathomably strong. I am a bug to be squashed in comparison.” His voice quivered, his frustration more than evident.
“It’s okay Keke, you can just keep working at it….”
Kailvan spotted the girl out of the corner of his eye. “Are you following us?”
The girl giggled. “You need someone who is a white wizard to deal with this, step aside my dark friend.”
The girl worked for a minute and commented, “Wow this is powerful magic, but if I…”
Within seconds, the eyes of the princess shot open. Kailvan dove to her side. “Princess… Princess are you okay?”
She looked like a newborn puppy, just opening her eyes for the first time. “I…. I think I am okay? But…. My gellunes, I no longer feel their presence. What has happened to me?”
“We’ve got a lot to talk to you about… But you can thank…”
Kailvan peered around looking for the little girl to point out to the princess, but she was gone.
