Well, I'm back with another chapter. This one took a while, but it has been finished for a few days. I was planning on releasing it on a thread with all chapters on the thread. Instead of posting several threads, I'll post all of them in one thread. BUT, I haven't got a name for the stories yet, so I'm just gonna post it here, on an own thread until I've come up with a name.

CHAPTER II - Curse of the Unknown

​

The small group of patriots was walking towards Katoa Ranch. Fiena and Trevor told stories and joked with Berath, while Myles looked out for danger. When they were in the sewers of Ragni, Myles and Trevor helped Berath with disguising himself as an adventurer. Berath was, however, still a bit suspicious against them. Could he really trust them? It felt like they liked him, but he wasn’t so sure about Myles. He had been quite silent since the conversation down in the sewers. Berath looked at Fiena and Trevor. Fiena had two daggers that she had sheathed. She had bright and long hair and leather clothes, just as Trevor and Myles, and Berath himself. Trevor however, had a spear on his back and he had short, brown hair. From the looks of it, it kind of looks like the cut their hair with knives. Myles was the only one with nice and fixed hair.
“Eh, I know this is a dumb question”, Berath said. The three patriots turned around and looked at him. Berath continued. “Do you cut your hair with knives?” he asked. He regret his choice immediately. Fiena laughed, Myles raised an eyebrow and Trevor just looked at him.
“That’s the dumbest question anyone has ever asked us. In our group, we don’t ask questions that make no sense. No more silly questions, we have to get to our hideouts”, Myles said skeptically. "Good news though. We are at Katoa now; we just need to go a little more to the North. The entrance is on the side of the mountains at the ocean”, he said, in another optimistic tone. What Myles didn’t think of, was that a Ragni guard just passed them, and heard everything they said.

“Halt! In the name of the army I stop you now. What entrance did you speak of? Give me an answer, or else”, he said, he tried to sound formal, but didn’t succeed so well. The small group stood quiet. Berath got worried, why aren’t they doing anything? “I give you one more warning. What are you doing here? What did you talk about?” he asked again. They stood quiet. The guard lost his temper. He drew his weapon and started walking slowly against them. But then, everything went to so fast. Myles took a step forward and hit the guard in the head with his fist. He threw the guard on the ground and then, he threw him into a bush.

“He won’t remember that”, Myles said as he politely picked up a bottle with light green-blue liquid. It looked like the liquid was shining. “This is a potion that erases your memories from the past ten minutes, he won’t remember that he even saw us”, he said with a small smile on his face.

Berath and the three patriots reached the entrance after five minutes. There were three different kinds of trees surrounding the hidden entrance. Fiena told Berath there was one button on each tree. When all buttons are pressed at the same time, the entrance would open. Berath looked at them while they went to the trees and pressed the buttons. Berath heard a small, crackling noise. Then the sound suddenly stopped and the mountain opened up, showing a long corridor.

Two patriots ran out towards them with weapons drawn. One of them had a bow, and the other one had daggers. “Identify yourselves!”, they said. They had no emotions in their voices, and did sound very formal.
“Fiena the Assassin, Trevor the Warrior, Myles the Archer and Berath, our latest recruit”, Myles said and looked at his friends. “Oh and, the password is ‘Gavel’s tree’”, he said again.
“Access granted”, the two guards said. “Welcome back, guys! We’ve missed you, you’ve been away for so long!”, one of them said with another voice that wasn't as formal as it was before. They entered the base while talking. “What took you so long?”, he asked. Fiena looked at Trevor and Myles, and then at Berath. She didn’t want to tell this in front of the latest recruit, but this was important.

“We have some good and some bad news for Auraja. You see, we’ve been over Wynn and Gavel the latest week to search after Malkall, and we think we found him. But we couldn’t find a way to enter”, she said. "And Kabr'y, could you run to the watchtower and tell them to look out for enemies?", Fiena asked the patriot with the daggers. It looked like he had spent many years training, and he could surely crush skulls with his hands.
"Will do, lady Fiena", he said as he ran off towards another dim lit corridor. Berath saw the walls were made out of quartz, a white, bright stone used for houses in the city Llevigar of Gavel. He also saw weird carvings and mystical symbols on the walls. "You have an amazing body!", he shouted when he took a turn in the corridor. Fiena laughed - and blushed, but no one saw that - and gesticulated to the others to keep walking.
"Nové, could you go and bring another patriot to guard the entrance with you again? We need to guard it all the time", she said, looking at the other patriot that let them into the base.
"Sure thing, Fiena", he said with a smile and turned into another corridor. Berath saw that they were in a long corridor with more corridors branching off. He realized they must be under the mountains between Wynn and Fruma.
"Fiena, what were the bad news..?", Trevor asked, as Fiena finally got rid of the two patriots who were guarding.
"That's something I want to let Auraja know at first", she said, with a small frown of dissapointment on her face. Berath, Myles and Trevor realized there was something they missed when they entered the base, but what?

As they continued through the endless corridors, Berath, Myles and Trevor started to get worried. They saw Fiena continously shake her head, look behind them, look up in the roof and whispering weird things to herself. It also looked like she was loosing her balance. Symptoms of something showed up quickly on her. She kept walking, but the fire that she always has in her eyes was gone. All she wanted to do was to bring the news to Auraja. Whenever Trevor and Myles asked her how she was feeling, she only shook her hands and started walking faster. Then she passed out and collapsed on the floor. Trevor and Berath gave away a small sound of disbelief.
"Did that just happen?!", Trevor asked, nearly shouting it out.
"We have to bring her to Auraja, now", Myles said whilst picking up Fiena in his arms. They started running towards the main hall of the base. "I don't know what happened to her, but Auraja will know how to cure whatever cursed Fiena", he said while they were running.

"Fiena... she's cursed. I have only seen this symptom once before. It was... nevermind. We have to bring her to someone who can cure her, but in this case, we need to bring someone to her who can cure her. Only a small problem though, we don't know where this person is", Auraja, the Leader of The Arisen Patriots said. She didn't look very happy.

This chapter took a weird turn, I planned that it wouldn't take so long to get to the base and the chapter became a bit more longer than I thought it would be. I'm sorry if you found the chapter boring/plain. Give me suggestions!

psst... if you have any ideas for names to the story, be sure to tell me <3​

 

YIPPIE!!!!

 

Noice Dis kewl bro

 

What class is Berath, and is he going to be the Air element guy?

 

I think he's either going to be an Archer or a Mage, I'll see.
The Air elemental person won't be seen in a great while, for these series are kinda dead after I failed writing the third chapter xD

 

I like this. But the story is going a little bit too fast for me. That Berath guy just went along with the others, while he knew them for like, 2 minutes? what

 

Might be because I want the story to proceed into the part of it that I really would like to write asap :P

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. But if the story goes a little bit slower, it'll be a lot more fun to read and things will make sense. And I get that you would love to write a certain part, but if the beginning of the story goes too fast, readers won't understand the meaning of it all which will take away a lot of the epicness the story might just be. And character development is like, really important.
But i still luv the story dun wurry <3

 

Thank you, this will help very much c:
