Chapter 21 Sea Battle
The mini Ballista launched their bolts at the ships with all hitting their target and setting fire to the ships. On one of the ships the sails where already burning away as the crew tried their best to put out the fires. The other ships hall was lit shortly before being put out.
Opals ship passed between the two still heading to the port.
Opal, “Quickly reload!”
The crew quickly worked on reloading as the third ship came at them with the other two ramming into each other.
Aaron, “nice one.”
Opal, “thanks!”
Laee’s cheeks swelled up in anger of the compliment and turned to the third ship. She quickly casted the fireball repeatedly launching each one at the ship exploding on contact. The ship had sections flying off while the rest of the ship turned in to pure flames.
Laee, “how did you like those fireworks?!”
Aaron, “I think you actually overdid it a bit.”
Laee’s jaw dropped while Opal laughed out hysterically. Opal soon stopped laughing and started to give out more commands to her crew seeing more ships begin to head this way.
Opal looked at the flags flying on the ships coming at her there where three of the same flags that she did not recognized while the fourth flag was exactly like hers with all its markings.
Opal, “what are they doing with them!?”
She turned to the pirates manning the Ballista.
Opal, “Aim for the first two and then prepare to target the other two but do not fire upon the friendly flag unless I say so.”
Pirates, “yes captain.”
They quickly started to reload and target the ships.
Aaron, “what there is a friendly ship.”
Opal turned to him, “I’m not just captain of this ship I also have control over a number of other ships.”
Aaron said, “Then you are a admiral?”
“if I was in the navy yes but we are one of the pirate clans.”
“Pirate clans aren’t you in a guild?”
“I’ll tell you some time but right now we need to make it to port.”
“right sorry.”
“No need to apologize.”
Laee hopped in front of Aaron and said, “Aaron why don’t you pay more attention to me.”
Aaron sighed shaking his head.
[Enae, “it is not a good time Laee.”]
[Laee, “but she’s hogging Aarons attention.”]
[Aaron, “she is not I’m trying to keep an eye on the battle since it could get bad for us at any moment.”]
[Enae and Laee, “Oh really.”]
Aaron turned to the nearing ships. As they drew closer the crew made the last of the preparations.
Opal checked to see if they where done then turned to the ships before giving the command to fire again. The bolts flew at the ships striking the hulls side and even fully going through causing water to seep in. the ships also sent their own volleys. The first ship missed but the second ones bolts hit.
Opal ordered a number of the crew to put the fires out and patch any leaks with tar. Aaron and Laee quickly went to help put out the fires either using magic or buckets to put water on the fires.
Opal was angry now, “how dare they harm my precious baby!”
She walked over to one of the Ballista and launched the next volley herself with a few fireballs from Laee lighting the third ship on fire.
The fourth ship soon came along side theirs and launched their hooks over the railings. Soon there were undead pirates coming over along with a large male demon and necromancer leading them.
Demon, “finally some fresh meat!”
Opal, “What have you done to my clans men!”
Necromancer, “oh they have had a change of allegiance since their deaths.”
Opal drew her blades with a look of pure hatred on her face.
“No one touches my comrades!”
She and a number of other pirates charged at the attackers with their cutlasses at the ready. Aaron drew his swords and ran towards the necromancer but was stopped as the demon came forward dropping one of the pirates disintegrating body off his curved black sword.
“Oh if it isn’t the chosen that the moron Crazed has been having so much trouble.”
Aaron took up a fighting stance, “Well Crazed is just a lazy bandit after all.”
The demon laughed, “Ha Is that what you think about that piece of trash! He is one of the great lords hands not a bandit.”
[Enae, “be careful Aaron you do not have anything but the Holy aura to truly harm them.”]
[Aaron, “I’m really starting to wish that we had a cleric with us.”]
[Enae, “well one of the chosen is strong at Holy magic and healing.”]
[Laee, “yes but she is one lousy drinking partner.”]
[Aaron, “Laee is this really a good time!”]
[Laee, “Its always a good time when it comes to Alcohol.”]
Aaron jumped to the side as the demon came forward swinging his sword down. After dodging Aaron quickly struck back but was blocked so he turned his swing into a punch straight to the demons face.
The demon stepped back clutching his face while still pointing his sword at Aaron.
“How dare a mere mortal lay a hand on me!”
The Demon charged at Aaron but was thrown back over the rail from one of Laee’s fireballs. He could still hear the demons the demons yell of hatred and pain before hitting the water.
She began to laugh, “we are no mere mortals.”
She turned to Aaron.
“You now owe me another drink Aaron.”
“How can I owe you another drink wait I already owe you one!”
[Enae, “this really is not the time for this Aaron.”]
[Aaron, “Tell that to Laee.”]
[Enae, “there is no point to it since she doesn’t listen.”]
[Laee, “hay!”]
Aaron quickly moved forward to take out the rising undead that was created from the pirate killed by the demon. He took off its sword arm and then its head before it could even respond to his presence.
Laee began to freeze the undead and launch fireballs at the ship. Aaron tuned to face the necromancer that was facing off against Opal when something jumped from the railing at hem. He quickly jumped back as the soaking wet demon landed where be had ben standing.
“How annoying of that mage to interfere.”
“Ah great your back!”
“do you really think that I could be taken out that easily did you.”
Aaron did not say anything as he activated fire blade while swinging his swords at the demon. The demon blocked the attack and brought his blade across to remove Aaron’s neck but he had ducked. He brought his blades into the demons chest.
Aaron began to attack the demon trying to find its weak point but could barely see any openings. The demons attacks where starting to numb his arms and push him back with each strike of the swords. Aaron quickly sidestepped and activated shadow step to get behind the demon but was gain blocked even though the attack should be faster then around the demon but was blocked once again.
“you are to obvious with your attacks.”
[Laee, “I’m going to make an opening so be ready to take the chance.”]
Laee fired another fireball at the demon but the attack was blocked. Aaron used shadow step again as the fireball was about to strike the demon. He quickly struck at the sword arm cutting deeply before activating Shadow step again to strike the demons legs. Aaron activated Shadow step once more taking off the demons head as it was falling due to the previous attacks.
As the demon took the first two hits he began to moan out, “how is this possible…”
Laee, “nice one Aaron.”
The demon disintegrated before he hit the ground. Aaron quickly picked up his loot before turning to see the skeletons collapsing from the Necromancers death.
“no one uses the dead of my clan!”
Opal was still angry but was beginning to move to check the ships damage. She mumbled to herself seeing that one of the Ballista was damaged and needed to be repaired.
“Everyone back to your stations we are making one finale push for the port.”
The pirates quickly moved at the captain’s order by working on the Ballista and preparing for anymore boarding’s while a few set fire to the boarding ship.
As the other ship began to burn the pirates quickly cut the ropes and pulled off the grappling hooks between the ships. Opal quickly ordered some her crew to get out the oars as the past the remaining wreckage of the attacking ships.
The ship began to increase its speed again from the damaged sails and oars. Aaron quickly spotted another ship coming at them but was still a way out. Laee also spotting the ship sent three fireballs at the ship. The first two burst in mid air from a barrier but the third managed to hit the ships sails burning them away. Opals ship quickly outran the ship as it greatly slowed down in speed.
As Aaron continued to watch the ship for another few moments the fire steadily spreading over the enemy ship he heard something slam into the deck less then three feet away causing him to jump. He turned to see a large Ballista bolt stuck in the deck with burning tar dripping off of it. While stepping back Laee quickly cast a spell throwing water on it that froze on contact.
Looking over towards the front of the ship again he spotted another two ships coming at them reloading their Ballista. With only one Ballista still working Opal walked over to it yelling orders at her crew as the two ships drew close.
Aaron turned to Laee while he sheathed his swords, “could to cast some fire ball’s at the ships starting with the one to the port side?”
“yes I can but what will you be doing?”
Aaron was already walking towards the main mast, “something stupid.”
“wait what do you mean?... Aaron!!!”
Aaron grabbed a rope hanging from the mast before running and jumping off the starboard side of the boat. He started to drop before the rope drew taut swinging around and over the rails of the oncoming ship. Letting go of the rope he landed and rolled across the deck before jumping to his feet.
[Enae, “You are stupid for doing a stunt like that!’’]
[Aaron, “well like I said I was going to do something stupid.”]
[Laee, “Idiot, idiot, idiot…”]
As got to his feet a near by undead swung its sword at him. Aaron quickly jumped back while drawing one of his swords and casting fire blade on it. Aaron dodged the next swing and ran past the undead and readied his sword to use a demonic slash.
Aaron quickly swung his sword aiming at the mast of the ship sending the demonic slash through the air. It continued to grow as it flew at the mast cutting through an unsuspecting demon and two undead before cutting into the mast and exploding. Aaron continued to run as splinters of wood flew around him while the mast fell to the opposite side of the deck.
Aaron quickly cut down the stunned necromancer destroying all the undead onboard. He quickly grabbed a few pieces of loot before running as another demon ran at him from a hatch to below deck. As the demon began to swing Aaron drooped down sliding across the deck while cutting the demons legs out from under him. Jumping to his feet Aaron continued running towards the back of the ship as fireballs rained down behind him.
Laee did what Aaron asked her to launching fireball after fireball at the ship on the port side while Opal had shot the ballista bolts into the side of the boat breaking open a big enough hole that water began to poor into its lower decks.
“Aaron you idiot why did you do that!!!” She was angry at him for jumping off the ship and was still calling him an idiot through the link.
There were a few undead and another demon that jumped onboard from the now sinking ship. The pirates were already fighting those that boarded from the two ships giving her the chance to run to the other side of the ship to aim at the other enemy ship. She was about to cast fireball and was shocked as the mast exploded. She watched for a moment as Aaron continued to run across the ship as it began to pass by. Remembering what she needed to do she began throwing fireballs at the ship.
Aaron picked up his pace as he ran and jumped off the back of the ship to get back on aboard Opals ship. The fireball explosions continued to raindown on the ship behind him with the explosive force sending him even farther forward. He quickly noticed that he was not going to land on the ship. Reaching out he grabbed the railing as he slammed into the side of the ship.
Aaron tried to pull himself up while his grip began to slip. When his grip was almost gone both Laee and Opal grabbed his arms and hauled him on to the deck.
Laee slapped him, “You idiot why would you even think of doing that?!”
[Enae, “you were very stupid for doing it but still it was quite amazing to watch.”]
[Aaron, “Hay…”]
Aaron rubbed his cheek, “thought I should give it a try…”
Laee, “you could have just thrown fireballs at the ship.”
Aaron just shrugged his shoulders while Laee shook her head.
While Opal smiled, “that was quite an amazing feat right there. You sure would make a fine pirate…”
One of the other pirates ran over calling for Opal.
“there are more ships heading this way captain!”
They looked at the two wrecks before looking off to port were the pirate was pointing towards. Nine ships were heading strait towards them with a few ships that tried to break the blockade sinking farther out.
Opal yelled out, “Hard to port.”
The pirate at the ships wheel turned the ship to starboard as fast as he could. They continued to look at the ships coming towards them when a shout from the front drew there attention there was a ship farther ahead with a strengthened bow for ramming. Further behind it five ships surrounded another ship that they had boarded and were looting.
Opal, “this is not good.”
Aaron quickly turned to Laee, “Laee could you cast firestorm behind us to hit the group of ships.”
Laee nodded, “I can but I will need some time.”
Opal turned to Aaron with a worried look on her face, “ and this seems to be the finale line in the blockade… any idea on what to do about the ships in front of us?”
Aaron believed she had had strategies to deal with things like this but the ship was almost a wreck itself its speed half that that it was before.
“I’ll be throwing fireballs at it… If you could start turning us towards the docks and its defense ships.”
Opal nodded, “I’ll do that but it leaves an entire side of the ship open to be rammed.”
“Don’t worry about it I handle it.”
Aaron quickly headed for the forward starboard while Laee was already chanting the spell for firestorm. Looking at the ramming ship Aaron decided to aim most of his fireballs at the sails and if that didn’t work one of the sides of its haul.
Aarons first fireball landed quite short of the ramming ship so he tried to aim higher with his next one. The next one was close to the ship but still did not hit it. Aaron decided to wait for a moment to let it draw near knowing it would give him less time to work with. After it drew a bit closer Aaron cast four fireballs at the ship. Three of them hit an invisible barrier while the last hit the brow of the ship only turning where it struck black.
Laee finished casting firestorm aiming it between them and the mass of ships. She quickly ran to Aaron as the first two ships began to catch fire with bits being blown off the ships. Aaron managed to hit the sails with one of his fireballs but hey had already brought out their oars.
Laee began throwing a number of fireballs and ice spears at the ship barley damaging it. The continued for a while longer with little luck of damaging the ship.
“Laee can you create waves to try and divert its course enough to pass us?”
“I can but the can still correct their course if diverted.”
Aaron thought for a moment before asking Laee, “how far out can we use fire wall?”
“the ship is at the maximum range right now but it won’t do anything with this ocean water.”
“how about casting across part of their ship?”
Laee stared at him for a moment, “that could work.”
Aaron and Laee quickly cast firewall a few times across the top of the ship almost like a grid pattern. Screams and yells began to be heard from the ship as the waves Laee created began to divert it course enough to miss the ship.
Opal ran over watching as the other ship passed behind them by a few meters heading towards the firestorm effect area where eight of the nine ships where in pieces burning. They continued to watch as it floated awkwardly still burning as fireballs began to rip it apart.
Opal directed her crew to continue heading towards the docks as two of the ships guarding the docks took positions around them aiming their Ballista at them. The two ships guided them in before breaking off and continuing their hit and runs along the blockade.
Due to Opals crew along with Aaron and Laee’s efforts nearly half the blockades ships were now floating wrecks or sitting at the bottom of the ocean. With that number of ships destroyed the blockade fell apart as they were unable to properly block every ship from entering or leaving the port.
They continued to head towards a dock they were directed to soon pulled up to the docks where a number of guards and soldier stood. A group dockworkers attached a gangplank with the assistance of one of the pirates. Soon the guards where on the ship checking for any hostile movement.
Inspector, “what is your business here during this time of war!”
Aaron stepped forward, “I am the Chosen of the Goddess Enae and I am here to help.”
Inspector, “As if another chosen would be here.”
A woman walked up the gangplank.
Woman, “I would not be so sure of that inspector.”
The man quickly bowed to the woman.
Inspector, “I was not expecting you Chosen!”
Woman, “I give these people permission to enter the city.”
Inspector, “as you wish my lady.”
Aaron finally got a good look of the woman as she turned to them. She was in a fancy Cleric robe that was as revealing as Laee’s. She also had Dark red hair just like Aaron had since he was in Enae’s form.
Woman, “It’s good to see you again Laee.”
Laee, “its good to see you to Kris.”
Chapter 22 Kris
Kris, “I see you still haven’t changed much since the last time we met. Are you still drinking all that mead? I’m guessing you are.”
Laee laughed, “Why is everyone against me drinking?!”
Aaron, “I would not go there if I where you.”
Kris, “Ah it looks like another chosen and may ask who are you.”
Aaron turned to Kris before answering.
“I am Aaron the chosen to the goddess Enae.”
Kris, “Well you being the Chosen of Enae is quite obvious since you look like my elder sister.”
[Aaron, “elder sister!?”]
[Enae, “We are not really sisters its just that she has called me that since we first met.”]
[Laee, “plus you two do look similar to each other.”]
[Enae, “Laee why don’t you go drink yourself under a table.”]
[Laee, “Hay!”]
[Aaron, “will you please stop arguing in my head!”]
[Enae, and Laee, “Sorry.”]
Kris, “Well can you two stop starring off into space and tell me why you are here.”
Aaron, “sorry, well I am searching for the Chosen to…”
Kris, “Basically you wish to reform the goddesses pact.”
Laee, “hay don’t interrupt Aaron!”
Aaron, “don’t worry Laee.” He turns to Kris, “yes I do wish to reform the pact but I also wish to unit the deathly Isles.”
Kris laugh’s, “An interesting goal but one that is almost impossible for you alone.”
Aaron, “I’m not alone. I have Enae, Laee and a number of others that are helping me back on the southern Island.”
Kris, “If you had that kind of recourses at your disposal why did you not bring them with you!”
Laee, “Kris you are going to far. We had no idea what is going on here or the other islands. ”
Kris, “If we do not get reinforcements soon this Island will be lost.”
Aaron, “Are you talking about the great lords dark forces?”
Kris, “Yes, How do you know that?”
Laee, “We’ve had a number of run in’s with his forces on our Island though we thought they where bandits and Rogues at the time.”
Kris, “well a lot of good that will do us now. We need soldiers not just two chosen.”
Opal, “My Clans ships could help if I could get word to them.”
Kris, “How can I believe you when a few of your ships are with the other forces? Guards imprison this ships crew.”
Laee, “You do not know what you are doing Kris.”
Kris turned to her, “and why should I listen to a drunkard.”
Aaron, “Opal and her ships are not involved with the enemies forces. The crews of those ships have been killed and are now undead.”
Kris, “You are no chosen! You will never take the place of Enae.”
Aaron, “Who said I was trying to take her place.”
[Enae, “let me barrow your body for a moment.”]
[Aaron, “You can do that?!”]
[Laee, “you are not strong enough yet Enae!”]
Right then Aaron lost control over his body and could only watch as his body moved forward beginning to have a soft glow and a black fog surrounding his body.
Enae, “Kris You dare question my chosen!”
Kris stood there stunned for a moment.
Kris, “Is that you sis?!”
Enae, “Of course its me.”
Kris ran up and hugged Enae and Aaron.
Kris, “I’ve missed you.”
Enae, “Now will you listen to what my chosen has to say?”
Kris, “I will listen but why cant you just stay in control.”
Enae, “It is not proper to control another this way, plus I am not strong enough to continue doing this.”
Kris stepped back, “But sis.”
Enae, “If you recreate the pact we can still be able to talk.”
Enae then released control-causing Aaron to stumble a bit trying to keep his balance.
[Aaron, “she seems to care a lot for you Enae.”]
[Enae, “well it’s a long story.”]
[Laee, “Enae that was stupid you are not in a state to do that again.”]
[Enae, “oh so you where that worried about me.”]
[Laee, “not really I was more concerned about Aaron.”]
[Enae, “You know I would not let any harm come to Aaron from my actions.”]
[Aaron, “come on can you two stop this already!”]
Aaron looked at Kris before asking, “Kris will you agree to uphold the pact of old and to help me unite the Deathly Isles?”
Kris, “I will uphold the pact chosen but this does not mean you can order me around.”
A number of windows began to pop up in front of Aaron

[Kris, “Enae are you there.”]
[Enae, “yes I’m here.”]
[Laee, “I’m also here.”]
[Kris, “get lost!”]
[Laee, “Hey I was here first.”]
[Enae, “actually it was me and Aaron first.”]
Aaron sighed in irritation of having multiple people talking in his head.
[Aaron, “Oh not another one.”]
[Kris, “you know men should stay out of woman’s minds and privacy!”]
[Aaron, “Actually you are the ones talking in my head. Wait did you just say I was a guy, how do you know I’m in Enae’s form right now?”]
[Kris, “well it’s obvious from how you move and speech.”]
[Aaron, “You can tell that much just from that?”]
[Kris, “Almost anyone who pays enough attention and some ability in magic could tell.”]
The guards where just finishing putting cuffs on the pirates when Aaron turned back to them.
Aaron, “could you let them go Kris? They are not your enemies.”
Kris, “no they can not be trusted.”
Aaron, “Come on we would not have been able to make it here without them.”
Laee, “he does have a point.”
Kris, “I will not allow it unless you can guaranty their alliance. “
Aaron, “Then why don’t I make a contract with them.”
Kris, “I can agree to that.”
Laee, “Aaron do not get any closer to that captain.”
Aaron walked over to Opal while Kris told the guards to stop for a minute.
Aaron, “I can only guaranty that you and your crew stay free is if you sign a contract with me.”
Opal, “Sounds like an interesting proposition but what does this contract involve.”
Aaron, “That you and your ships help us in times of need along with a promise to not attack any of our ships.”
Opal, “I can agree to those terms but I would like access to your docks and shipyards, Plus a lower rate on trade tax.”
Aaron thought a moment before nodding.
Aaron, “I agree to add those terms.”
Opal, “then you got yourself a deal.”
You have formed a contract with the Deathly Isles Pirates!
All Pirates will not attack ships with your countries flags!
Pirates will now answer you when your country is in war!
You have gained the stat Luck!

You have leveled up!
Aaron closed his windows then turned to Kris.
“Are you fine with that Kris.”
She just nodded and turned to her guards.
Kris, “you can let them go.”
The guards quickly removed the pirate’s cuffs starting with Opal’s. Once her hands where free she took off her Bandana from around her head and tied it around Aarons upper left forearm.
Opal, “Thanks my little princess.”
The pirates that saw the Bandana began to give a cheer and talk loudly to each other.
Aaron wondered what that was about when windows began to pop up in front of him.

[Aaron, “Oh no did I some how change classes!”]
[Enae and Laee, “Aaron!”]
[Aaron, “Oh no this is not going to end well.”]
[Enae, “I told you not to get close to that Pirate!”]
[Laee, “You cheater!”]
[Aaron, “What did I do!”]
[Enae and Laee, “you are engaged to her!”]
[Laee, “I wanted to marry him.”]
[Aaron, “but I do not know any of their customs!”]
[Enae, “that’s still not a good reason!”]
Aaron tried to talk to them but they would not let him have a word so he opened his stat window.

Aaron was happy he did not lose his class from the contract.
Opal grabbed onto his arm and kissed his cheek causing the two goddess to stop yelling inside his head.
Opal, “I will not lose my little princess to anyone even though you do have others in your life.”
She turned to Laee who had a red face while shaking with rage.
[Enae, “Aaron you are mine!”]
[Laee, “no he’s mine!”]
Laee quickly walked over and grabbed Aarons right arm and hugged it so he could feel her breast to each side of it while Opal did the same with the other arm. Kris came up behind him and gave him a hug while whispering in his ear.
Kris, “you are an interesting young man with goddesses all over you. I think I’m going to have a fun time with you.”
[Enae, “Kris get your hands off him he is mine.”]
[Kris, “That’s why I want him.”]
Aaron groaned as a guard came running up the gangplank.
Guard, “Chosen! The enemy forces outside the wall have breached the city’s gate!”
Kris, “Everyone quickly to the gates we must keep them from capturing the city!”
Chapter 23 Battle for the City
Kris and the guards quickly ran for the gangplank heading for the gates.
Aaron, “We need to head for the gate to.”
Opal, “I need to stay with my crew and organize repairs.”
Laee, “Good stay with your ship.”
Opal, “Hay I would love to go with you but I have things that need to get done.”
Aaron, “No problem but if the city falls we need to have another option.”
Laee was already running after Kris when Aaron turned to go.
Opal, “Take care my little princess.”
Aaron, “I’m not… ah what ever, Stay safe.”
Aaron quickly ran after Laee and Kris who where already at the end of the dock waiting for him. Opal watched the three work their way further into the city before giving out orders to her crew.
Aaron was running down the cities streets with Laee, Kris, and a few of the guards. They passed people fleeing or locking down their homes and shops. Soon they could hear screams as they neared the city walls.
One of the guards that was ahead of them rounded the corner and was soon flying through the air in front of the rest of the group. They all stopped as the man landed disintegrating from his chest being crushed in.
Aaron quickly drew his swords as a large demon leading a number of undead and a few other demons rounded the corner. It had huge ram horns and most of its body was covered in fur along with the demons massive arms.
Demon, “Finally some more easy pray.”
Aaron quickly used Fire Blade and started to run at the demon. The demon raised a large mace to strike at Aaron. As the mace began to come down at him he used shadow step to get behind the demon on its back to slash at its neck. He continued to strike before activating twin blade. His blades cut deeply into its neck causing it to yell out in pain.
Aaron had just finished his attack when he noticed one of its hands was grabbing at him. He jumped but was to slow as the demons hand grabbed his leg and throw him through the air.
He was starting to fall when Kris caught him. He wondered how that was possible when he saw massive glowing wings behind her back.
[Aaron, “beautiful.”]
[Enae and Laee, “Aaron!”]
Kris, “You sure are a reckless one.”
Aaron, “sorry.”
She glided to the grown as Laee began tossing fireballs at the demons face. As the third one struck the demon fell back onto the undead that had been fallowing it crushing a number of them. Aaron ran towards them as Kris used Holy Wave on them. Due to the holy magic most of the undead disintegrated while the demon had burns appear all over his body.
Demon, “Ahhhh that burns!”
Kris, “well there is more where that came from.”
It began to get up while Aaron began to hack at its knees. The demon swatted at him but missed as Aaron jumped back. It was finally up on its knees when Laee fired a fireball at its face. Roaring in irritation and being blinded it shook its head. As the smoke disappeared from the attack while Kris was in the air having activated Holy Hammer. In her hands was a massive glowing war hammer. She slammed it against the side of the demons face sending it falling into one of the buildings on the side of the street.

It disintegrated leaving demon horns and loot. Aaron quickly ran up and grabbed it before facing the undead that the guards where already facing. Aaron was soon once again hacking his way through the undead until he came upon another demon that was about to strike one of the guardsmen.
Aaron quickly used shadow step to block the strike. This demon was wearing armor similar to those of an old samurai. It sword even looked like a katana. It brought back its sword preparing to strike at Aaron.
Shadow step has leveled up!
He quickly nocked the attack aside before striking at its arm. It blocked with one of its gauntlets sending Aaron back a few steps. It was soon swinging the sword again with both of its hands. He quickly ducked under its swing and activated his fireball spell sending it into its face. The explosion sent the demon flying onto its back while burning some of Aarons skin.
Kris activated blessing healing Aaron and the guardsmen. Aaron quickly ran forward and slit the demons throat, as it lay stunned from the attack. It disintegrated leaving some coins and its sword.
You have leveled up!
Aaron quickly grabbed the loot from the attackers before running for the gate. Soon they where once again hacking and slashing through the undead. After fighting their wayd down the street the gate was in sight but there was a massive amount of undead poring in fighting what remained of the gates guard or working their way further into the city.
Aaron, “This is going to be a tuff one.”
Laee, “We’ve been through worse.”
Aaron, “Well you might have but this is even more then the ones I faced inside the old temple.”
Kris, “Don’t worry this is nothing for us.”
Aaron, “Great that means I can rest while you handle it.”
[Enae, Laee and Kris, “Oh no you don’t your helping us since all our lives are on the line.”]
Aaron, “Well how do you plan on closing the gates?”
Kris, “Well I’m not sure.”
Laee, “With the power of mead!”
[Enae and Kris, “Shut it Laee!”]
Aaron quickly ran towards the undead as the rest of his group ran after him. Quickly activating shadow step he landed in the middle of the undead mass coming through the gate. He decapitated two of the undead causing the rest to turn and face him while their companions disintegrated.
Laee yelled, “Don’t get to far ahead Aaron its dangerous.”
Kris, “you moron get back here!”
As they got in closer to him he activated whirlwind. As he spun he aimed at decapitating them but did not get all of them as they flew back disintegrating or crashing to the ground. Aaron quickly began striking at them before they could get up. Soon as he was finishing the ones that had fallen as the next wave of undead was on him. He quickly thru a fireball at one of them before facing another and began hacking away and blocking their slow shambling attacks.
As he was about to strike an undead another Katana blocked his attack. Aaron turned to face another demon in samurai armor. It was already bring up its sword in front of it pointing at Aaron. Aaron began to try and strike at the demon but was forced to block with both of his blades.
While Aaron was blocking the strike the undead near him began to hit him one after another.
Demon, “well well you aren’t that much of a match for me.”
Aaron, “oh really.”
Aaron quickly activated Whirlwind again taking out the undead but was blocked by the demon. He quickly fallowed up with another shadow step the get behind the demon striking at one of its shoulders but was again blocked.
Demon, “Nice trick but I can move just as fast.”
The demon swung his sword and Aaron blocked with both of his swords. As the full force of the strike struck one of his swords it shattered sending pieces at Aaron and the demon. He quickly jumped back dropping the disintegrating sword handle.
Aaron, “Just great that sword was a nice blade!”
Demon, “your times up now fallen.”
The demon was about to lung forward to strike Aaron but instead jumped to the side as lightning landed in between them. This gave him time to get out one of his swords that he got at the temple.
Aaron, “thanks Laee.”
Laee and Kris walked up beside him facing the demon that now had a number of undead with him.
Laee, “it was nothing but you where quite stupid in jumping into the middle of their group.”
Aaron, “Oh that was stupid, then what about when you jumped of the wall to face the bandits back…”
Laee, “that did not count I was drunk then.”
Kris, “you are always drunk Laee.”
Laee, “hay I have not had much to drink for a while now.”
The demon pointed his sword at them.
Demon, “I will give your heads to my mast…”
Laee fired a fireball at him causing an explosion that sent the undead flying but the demon just stood there smoking.
Demon, “Now that was not…”
Kris activated Holy Hammer crushing him to the ground. Her hammer disappeared revealing the demon as it tried to rise.
Demon, “it is not that easy…”
Aaron finished him off by cutting his head cleanly off. The demons body disintegrated once again leaving loot.
The three turned to the gates to face the undead that where poring in.
Aaron, “Laee could you block the gate with a Fire Wall spell.”
Laee, “yes that’s fine but it won’t hold forever. “
She began to cast the spell while Aaron turned to Kris.
Aaron, “Kris can you heal us and then use holy wave on the undead.”
Kris huffed before answering, “That’s fine.”
Aaron “thanks.”
Aaron quickly led the remaining guards to attack the undead. Laee’s firewall blocked anymore undead from coming in while Kris holy magic weakened the undead. Aaron was soon hacking his way through the undead with the guards.
As he neared the firewall two large black monstrous dogs jumped through the flames. Aaron looked at their health bars and names. They where boss level monsters called death hounds.
Aaron, “just great Death hounds! What else could go wrong!?”
From the other side of the fire Aaron could hear a voice.
Crazed, “Ah if it isn’t my little toy.”
Aaron, “I should not have said anything.”
Crazed, “I’ll be with you in a minute since it seems I have just received some company.”
Kris, “Guards get the gates we’ll handle these two.”
Laee was already throwing fireballs at the Death hounds. Aaron quickly ran towards the dogs bringing his swords up to his sides. As he neared them Kris used slow on them before using buffs on Aaron.
The closest Hound lunged at him as he leaned back and slid along the ground. The hound flew over him receiving multiple attacks as he activated twin blades. As soon as he was behind the hound he jumped up to face the next one charging at him.
Aaron quickly sidestepped it slicing at its legs as it passed. The two rounded on him and where beginning to circle him as another wave of fireballs rained down on them. Kris activated Holy Hammer and ran up behind one and repeatedly slammed it down on the hound.
The first hound turned to face its partner that was being crushed giving an opening to Aaron. He quickly ran forward and activated twin blades to hack at the hound’s legs.
The hound jumped back as his attack finished snarling with its sharp teeth showing. Aaron waited as the hound charged at him once again. He quickly jumped up onto the hounds back and began to repeatedly stabbing his swords into the hounds back and sides.
Whimpering and whining the hound tried to shake him off its back but failed in its attempts. Aaron was still stabbing away while looking at the beasts health drop even lower. Soon the hound tried to crush him by rolling over onto his back but only forced the blades to go deeper into its back dropping the last of its health.
You have leveled up!
It disintegrated leaving loot on top of him. Getting up he grabbed the Loot while watching the other hound be struck by fireballs and a holy hammer.
[Aaron, “this makes me think of animal cruelty.”]
[Kris, “what are you whining about you just finished off the other so could you give us a hand here.”]
[Laee, “You owe me some mead.”]
[Enae, “Get your own drunkard.”]
Aaron walked over to the other hound while they continued to talk back and forth to each other in his head. As he neared the hound it tried to escape the other two but was stopped as one of Aarons sword went through its eye into its skull. As he drew out his sword the eye popped causing blood to spill out. Slowly the hound began to disintegrate.
Aaron quickly picked up the loot and turned to the gate that was not being held almost shut by the guardsmen with undead arms sticking through the small opening. Aaron quickly ran up and began hacking the arms out of the doorway while Laee and Kris grabbed a long board to put on the gate
Soon they managed to get the gate closed and locked. The three of them stood there panting while the guards grabbed more beams and boards to help hold the gate.
Aaron, “That was a close one.”
Laee, “could we get something to drink now?”
Kris, “No Laee, and thanks for the help you two.”
Aaron, “No Problem.”
They stood there for a moment more when they heard crazed again.
“Oh little toy why did you close to gate on me.”
Aaron, “I am going to kill that guy.”
Kris, “Who is that and why does he call you toy?!”
Aaron, “long story.”
They quickly climbed up through the gatehouse to reach the top of the wall. As they looked out they could see a large mass of Undead and demons.
Crazed, “Oh toy why don’t we have some fun. I’m done playing with your reinforcements out here.”
Crazed was near the gate holding onto a unconscious female mages hair. Around him where a few fallen soldiers rising up as undead while further out in the mass of undead there where small groups of soldiers fighting for their lives.
Kris, “No Rachael!”
Crazed, “Oh you know this little play thing. Well I’ve made her a proper obedient toy now and will have my fun with her later tonight.”
Kris, “Oh no your not!”
Kris’s wings appeared again and she flew down at Crazed with Laee gliding down right after her.
Aaron, “wait you two, ah great here we go again!”
Chapter 24 Demonic Blade
Aaron quickly jumped over the wall after Laee and Kris while using shadow step to safely get to the ground and strike one of the undead. Kris had activated Holy Hammer and struck a group of undead causing an explosion of force as the hammer made it to the ground. Laee was firing fireballs at all the undead around them.
As Aaron was finishing off a second undead he started to be swarmed by them. He quickly activated whirlwind destroying a number of them while sending the rest flying into the air. Charging to the next undead he continued to hack through them.
Kris was using her holy magic to destroy and weaken the undead around her while making her way to Crazed. As she used holy hammer again to clear another group of undead she came face to face with Crazed. He was now wearing black and gold armor while holding his sword out in one hand pointing at her while the other hand still held onto the unconscious mage.
Kris, “You are going to pay for laying your hands on her!”
Crazed, “ha what can you do she’s already mine.”
Kris pulled a holy wand out of her sleeve and pointed it at him.
Crazed laughed, “what do you plan to do with that stick poke me with it.”
Kris snarled in anger while casting holy light. The spell created a beam of light that grew as it went straight at Crazed. Crazed just laughed while pointing his sword straight up with the flat of his blade toward her. As the spell was about to strike crazed, a black mist formed around the blade and began to form a shield in front of him. As the spell made contact with the mist it was absorbed.
Kris, “how?! That’s not possible.”
Crazed, “Oh have you already forgotten about the seven blades fallen.”
Kris stepped back in shock, “that’s impossible they where lost a millennia ago.”
Crazed laughed once again pointing his blade at her.
“Not any more a few have recently been discovered by certain gods. This one was given to me by the great lord.”
Kris, “I’m not afraid of your sword.”
Crazed laughed before splitting into two copies.
Laee was continuing to fire one spell after another into the undead as she neared one of the groups of soldiers that where still fighting. As she killed another undead she quickly shot a fireball at the group of undead that was between them to clear a path. As the smoke cleared Laee moved into the group of soldiers.
Laee, “are you alright.”
Soldier, “who are you?!”
Laee, “one of the chosen defending this city.”
Soldier, “sorry chosen but we won’t make it at this rate.”
Laee, “I need you to gather the other groups of soldiers while the other chosen and I are fighting the undead.”
Soldier, “we’ll do as you say.”
Laee said, “quickly now!” as she turned to head back to Kris and Aaron.
Aaron was still hacking his way through the undead but could not see the other’s through the mass of undead surrounding him. He used whirlwind again while trying to look for the other two. Taking another step forward he hacked off an undead’s head. As it disintegrated he spotted Kris and began to make his way to her.
He used twin blade on two of the undead in front of him making them disintegrate as they fell to the ground. He looked back at Kris as he spotted two Crazed’s charging at her with the mage on the ground behind them. Aaron quickly shoved an undead out of his way as he ran towards them.
Kris was casting as many of the holy spells as she could at the two charging Crazed’s but they where blocking or dodging them. As they where about to strike her Aaron materialized in front of her blocking the two Crazed’s attacks. He managed to hold one of their swords but the other one shattered allowing the sword to pierce into his side. He yelled out while kicking the crazed back.
Crazed, “oh my dear toy why did you have to ruin my fun.”
Aaron, “you sure are a twisted man.”
Aaron touched his side to cover the wound.
[Aaron, “man I hate that this armor does not cover my stomach while in this form.”]
[Enae, “Aaron are you ok?!”]
[Aaron, “just fine, what do you think.”]
[Enae, “I am worried about you Aaron.”]
[Laee, “What happened!”]
[Aaron, “nothing don’t worry.”]
[Kris, “Aaron took a blade that was meant for me.”]
[Laee, “what! How could you let him do that?!”]
[Kris, “I’m sorry.”]
[Aaron, “don’t worry I’m fine.”]
Aaron began to feel a burning sensation but blocked it out.
[Kris, “no you’re not that is one of the seven blades.”]
[Aaron, “Seven blades?”]
[Enae, “Kris quickly heal him.”]
[Kris, “I’ll try.”]
Crazed, “Ha twisted! No I’m not twisted I just fallow my instincts and desires.”
Kris quickly put her hands on Aarons wound and began to use her healing spells on him.
Aaron, “so you do what ever you want while causing others to suffer?!”
Crazed laughed, “that’s what makes it so fun.”
Aaron, “you are a monster.”
Crazed, “Oh my little toy that will be the last time you call me that. Soon you will be calling me master.”
Aaron, “over my dead body!”
Aaron quickly got out another sword and readied his blades as Kris stepped back with his side healed but still burning.
Crazed, “Toy don’t be that way, soon you will be smiling at my every word.”
Aaron lunged forward striking at the Crazed’s. They blocked the attack with ease nocking his blades aside. They quickly began their attack pushing Aaron back a few steps while blocking their swings.
He quickly activated fire blades and began to try and get past Crazed’s guard. As the two Crazed’s swung at his arms he used shadow step to get behind them and struck at their backs. The attacks only bounced off their armor as they quickly turned to face him.
Crazed, “oh that tickles.”
[Aaron, “how am I going to defeat him!?”]
[Enae, “keep at it and look for openings.”]
[Kris, “I’ll cast a few holy spells at him.”]
[Aaron, “Please don’t go overboard we still need your healing.”]
[Laee, “It’s going to take a while to reach you. There is a large amount of undead between us.”]
[Aaron, “do what you can.”]
[Enae, “Laee using fire storm should help lower their numbers.”]
[Laee, “I’m working on it but there are a few demons mixed in with the undead.”]
Aaron activated twin blades having all but one attack blocked. The one that made it through left a long gash on his arm. The gash appeared on both Crazed’s arm in the same place but was quickly healed as a black mist came out of the wound.
[Aaron, “is this guy immortal!”]
[Enae, “No but he can rival the lower class goddess in power.”]
[Aaron, “But how is that possible.”]
[Kris, “He is absorbing the energy of those he kills and when he needs to the undead around him. He can also draw energy out of slave or people that have his mark on them if they are near by.”]
[Aaron, “Is that what he means when people are his belongings.”]
[Enae, “Most likely that is part of it.”]
[Kris, “Oh no Rachael!”]
Aaron was blocking another of Crazed’s attacks before launching his own.
[Aaron, “what is it, crap that was a close one.”]
Kris was holding on to the mage that was left on the ground. A portion of her ropes scholer had been ripped away showing a black snake emblem.
[Kris, “he’s put his mark on her!”]
[Aaron, “Would getting her away from Crazed work?”]
[Enae, “it should, watch out Aaron!”]
Aaron had to roll to the side to get away from another of Crazed’s attacks.
[Aaron, “Kris get her out of here but don’t take to long.”]
[Laee, “it’s to dangerous with out her helping you!”]
[Aaron, “Crazed’s got the advantage by draining the mage’s energy and don’t get me started on the number of undead.”]
[Kris, “I’ll be back as fast as I can.”]
Kris lifted up Rachel and flew back up to the cities walls.
Crazed, “where do you think you are taking my prize!”
Crazed was about to attack Kris as she passed but Aaron quickly used twin blades on the two Crazed’s before they could do anything. They blocked the attack before moving to the sides of him.
Crazed, “no more playing around.”
Both Crazed’s activated their own versions of twin blades nicking Aarons sides as he tried to block the attacks. He jumped back to try and get some distance between himself and the two Crazed’s but they both lunged forward bringing down their swords at him.
Aaron blocked with both his swords crossed in front of him. As the Crazed’s attacks struck he was thrown back with his swords cracking from the force behind the swords. He landed on his back while having his breath taken away by the impact.
Crazed, “looks like your swords can’t be used anymore.”
Aaron quickly threw them to the side and brought out the Katana that he got from the demon and his demonic sword he’s been working on.
Crazed, “what do you think you are going to do with that junk? You should just give up my little toy.”
Aaron, “never!”
As Aaron readied his swords his demonic aura began to swirl around the demonic sword. The sword began to change having its years of wear and tear disappear revealing a dark black blade with white runes running down it.
Creator’s second demonic blade has been restored!
Creator’s Demonic Sword:
Attack| 50-75 Durability| 38/50
This sword was one of seven blades forged by this worlds creator and was given to the first seven god’s of the realm. The swords have been lost for many millennia only appearing during major world conflicts.
[Enae, “One of the seven… we can take Crazed now!”]
[Laee, “Hay Aaron are you glad I wanted to look through the merchants good’s now.”]
[Aaron, “You where only looking for mead. Well thank you Drunken Laee for this mighty sword.”]
[Laee, You are welcome… wait you called me a drunkard!”]
[Aaron, “no I didn’t.”]
[Enae, “there is no time for this we still need to stop Crazed.”]
[Kris, “I’m on my way back down.”]
Crazed stopped laughing as he stared at the sword.
Aaron, “What do you think of this junk now!”
Crazed, “Oh what a wonderful surprise my little toy but I will make you and that sword mine!”
Crazed charged forward as Aaron activated fire blade. The flames on the demonic sword where pure black and seemed to be absorbing light from its surroundings. Their blades struck each other sending sparks into the air.
Aaron quickly used shadow step to get behind one of the Crazed’s while also activating twin blades. His blade stuck the armor but did not break through. Crazed turned slashing at Aaron but was blocked with the katana. Aaron swung his demonic sword at Crazed’s face but only grazed his nose as he jumped back. The blood from the wound began to run down his face.
Both Crazed’s lifted a hand to their nose touching the wound that was not healing. The mist was there but the blood just kept poring.
Crazed just laughed as his hand began to glow and a scare appeared where the wound was.
Crazed, “now this is interesting.”
Crazed was raising his sword again as a magic circle appeared next to him floating in the air. Walking out of the circle was a demon in a armor that was similar to a samurais but had a western style to it. Its horns where massive pointing out of his head like a bulls.
Demon, “Crazed the great lord has called for you!”
Crazed, “what horrible timing Mot!”
Mot, “we serve the great lord and when he calls we answer.”
Crazed two copies combined back into one while sliding his sword back into its sheaf.
Crazed, “well it looks like I have to go my little toy but I will be back for you.”
Aaron, “your not getting away again crazed!”
Crazed and Mot stepped into the demons circle and vanished as Aaron ran towards them. Aaron began to look around at the battle going on around him. The soldiers had finally regrouped and where taking out a nice chunk of the undead out. Laee was a short distance away working her way towards him through the undead.
Kris, “Aaron!”
He turned to have Kris crash into him making him fall to the ground. She kissed him then started to pound at his chest.
Aaron, “what is that for?!”
Kris, “you moron, I’m happy that you allowed me to take my friend back but you where stupid facing him alone.”
Aaron laughed for a moment, “This is not a good time for this.”
Kris, “Oh really well I’m just going to have to get your head straight later.”
[Enae, “Kris get off of my Aaron!”]
[Kris, “He’s not yours anymore he is mine.”]
[Laee, “Laee no he’s mine!”]
[Aaron, “can you guys not start this right now?!”]
[Enae, Laee and Kris, “No!”]
Laee was finally next to them and grabbed Kris.
Laee, “I had him first!”
Kris, “you have no claim on him.”
Laee, “oh really, I slept with him.”
Kris slapped Laee; “I bet you forced yourself on him.”
Aaron, “nothing happened, and can you guys stop its not the time for this.”
Laee and Kris “shut up!”
A near by undead was about to swing its sword at Laee but it was punched in the face by her. It fell back disintegrating and leaving loot.
Laee, “He belongs to the one that kills the most undead.”
Kris, “deal.”
They began to massacre the undead. Laee ran around throwing fireballs everywhere while Kris ran around with her holy hammer crushing them. Aaron just stared at the two of them mopping up the undead like it was nothing.
[Aaron, “Oh great are they going to keep doing this.”]
[Enae, “most likely.”]
Aaron sighed before he began gathering the piles of loot.
Chapter 25 Mythical Legend Stories
Alan had just finished his algebra class and was siting in one of the campus lounges. He currently had his phone out with the Mythical Legends app open.
Enae, “Aaron when are you going to come back?”
Alan, “later today I still have another class in about two hours.”
Laee, “Aaron it’s boring with out you.”
Alan, “Well I do have other things I need to do outside Mythical Legends.”
Kris, “What’s Mythical Legends?”
Alan, “Oh right that’s what we call your world.”
Kris, “but that’s not what our world is called.”
Alan, “what do you mean?”
Alan had begun to think that the goddesses where no normal AI or that the games AI were a lot more advanced then anyone knew.
Enae, “We call our world Posterus Mundus.”
Alan remembered hearing the word Mundus somewhere before. Looking at his laptop he sent in his resume and application in to Virtual Worlds inc to see if he could work for them on Mythical Legends then quickly look up the words. After looking through a number of Google’s results he found the definition for the words. Posterus Mundus meant future world in Latin.
Alan, “why would someone call it future world?!”
Kris, “that’s what its always been called so I do not know.”
Alan, “well I should probably work on my homework.”
Laee, “what is home work.”
Kris, “is it a form of house work?”
Enae, “can you tell us what it is Alan.”
Alan did a face palm before answering, “Home work is assignments or work to do outside of class.”
Kris, “so you are a scholar?”
Laee, “that doesn’t sound fun.”
Alan pulled up the program on his computer and entered his login.
Alan, “In a way yes. Where I come from we are suppose to study a number of things when we are young to prepare for our futures.”
Enae, “That sounds interesting but what does it prepare you for?”
Alan, “well they usually do the basics of what you need in life. We learn how to read and write. There is also Math and science. But I can tell you more later, right now I need to work on my math homework.”
Enae, “Do you think I can help?”
Alan, “sure do you know how to work algebra problems.”
Enae, “That’s easy…”
She started to talk about a number of math problems that Aaron did not understand.
Laee, “Oh great there she goes again. I hate math.”
Kris, “well I’ll talk to you later I have some things I need to do.”
Laee, “sounds like a good Idea I’m going to go drink.”
Alan, “see you two later.”
Enae, “hay Aaron can you show me the problems you are working on?”
Alan, “sure give me a sec.”
He opened up his current Homework Assignment and turned the phones camera to it.”
Enae, “Oh now these are some nice problems.”
Alan, “I see you like math.”
Enae, “I love to work out problems.”
Alan, “Well I usually never understand how to work them out.”
Enae, “ok then I’ll take you step by step.”
Alan, “thanks!”
Enae slowly took Alan through the problems step by step. Soon with her help he was able to understand it and be able to finish them in half the time it usually takes.

Hercules and his two followers had finally founded a guild with a number of other Player killers. They called themselves Proditor’s of Tellus. Their guild had taken control of a number of roads robbing players and NPCs that traveled them.
Hercules, “Ah what a nice find.”
He was searching the pile of goods that he had just taken from a tired out party retuning from a dungeon raid.
Mage, “Oh this is a nice book.”
He picked up a black tome from the ground. He started to flip through the book stopping on a page.
Mage, “Hay Hercules this book has a sub class!”
Hercules turned to him.
Hercules, “what class is it?”
Mage, “The Great One’s disciples. Hay this is connected to that Event that’s going on in the Deathly Isles!”
Prisoner, “Give those back! That book is part of my quest.”
Hercules, “Oh and what would that quest be.”
Prisoner, “I was sent by the Church of Aine to find and destroy that book.”
Hercules, “Well not anymore this here book is ours.” He quickly turned to the Chiounis, “Chionis can you take care of the prisoner.”
Chionis, “With pleaser boss.”
Chionis walked over to the prisoners and started to stab them with his sword repeatedly. One by one they disintegrated leaving almost nothing.
Mage, “boss this class nice abilities.”
Hercules grabbed the book and read through the class section.
Hercules, “nice! Ok everyone we are going to take this class.”
His greedy Guild members all smiled with glee at being able to try out a new class. One by one the guild members took the class as the last one finished they all began to glow. As the glowing stopped they noticed they where somewhere else.
Crazed, “Ah some new recruits.”
Hercules, “Are you the Great Lord?”
Mot, “No he is not! The great lord does not meet with just anyone. If you wish to meet him you will have to rise through the ranks. So you will just have to deal with us.”
Chionis, “Ah what is that thing?”
Hercules, “It’s a demon so be careful.”
Chionis, “oh ok boss.”
Crazed, “Well I’ll let you deal with the recruits Mot. I need to go head to the Underworld to take care of One of the fallen giving us trouble.”
Mot, “Are you really going to leave me here with these idiots?!”
Crazed, “Their no worse then the undead, On second thought they may be worse. Well have fun Mot.”
Crazed left the chamber with the guild and Mot let starring after him. Chionis was not even paying attention and just kept scratching his butt.
Mot, “Well its time to see what you guy can do. We are going to be heading for the Deathly Isles to take care of some pests.”
Mage, “Oh great, I’ve heard bad things about that place.”
Hercules, “well we can just leave!”
Mot, “Quite your whining.”
The Guild sensed the hostility and stood up straighter or shied away. Some tried looked for a way to escape.
Mot, “oh and by the way no one can leave the Great Lords service, not even in death.”
Some of the guild members began to look at their stat windows. Their stats where increased from the sub class but the class could not be removed.
Hercules, “What are we going to do in the deathly Isles.”
Mot, “No more questions but this I will Answer. We are going after the fallen Aaron and his companions.”
Hercules began to grin as he thought about what he was going to do to Aaron when he got his hands on him.

Kevril, Merlin, Ali, and Marcy along with a few members of their guild had finally discovered a new dungeon.
New Dungeon Discovered!
You gained +100 fame!
You gain extra 50% experience for the next week!
Merlin, “Kevril our efforts have paid off!”
Kevril, “I’m glad we are the first to find this dungeon.”
Kevril believed that there was some connection to Aarons Goddesses and the Great Lord in here somewhere.
Ali, “I hate dark places!”
Marcy, “I bet you would not be so frightened if Aaron was here.”
Ali, “Hay that not true!”
Merlin, “well you two have me and of course Kevril to look after you.”
Marcy, “Oh really and who is the one with their legs shacking.”
Merlin’s legs were shaking back and forth and look like he might collapse.
Merlin, “I’m not afraid! I’m excited at what we will find.”
Kevril, “yah right merlin.”
They continued to go in with their rouges and scouts in the front to take care of traps and spot ambushes.
The first monsters they came across where goblins.
Kevril, “they look easy enough.”
Merlin, “I can take care of them if you like.”
Kevril, “no we’ll do this together. Ali you and Merlin along with the other mages and cleric will use buffs and healing on us. Shield users will go in front while tanks will go around the sides.”
Marcy, “what about the rest of us?”
Kevril, “the archers, rogues, and scouts will cover us and keep an eye out for other groups of monsters.”
Marcy, “That sounds like a good plan but I wish I could have a little more action.”
Kevril, “don’t worry Marcella there will be more.”
Marcy, “hopefully.”
They all moved to their positions as a few scouts drew in the group of goblins.
Kevril, “Shield users forward.”
The two rows of twenty shield users moved forward. As the goblins came into the closer they started to pound their shields with their swords. The sound echoed around the chamber and down the near by passages making the goblins slow at the sight of the shield wall.
Kevril, “Archers ready.”
Marcy, “always!”
Kevril, “fire!”
The archers fired on the stunned goblins causing them to go into a frenzy. As the flight of arrows ended most of the goblins remained but where now enraged and charged at the shield wall.
The goblins started to attack the shield wall while a few tried to jump over them.
Kevril, “Tanks positions.”
The tanks and heavy hitters moved to flank the goblins. Soon the goblins where being cut down as if they where bails of wheat. As they continued to hack away at them another group of goblins came from a side passage to crash into the backs of the guild.
Marcy, “they are attacking from the rear.”
Kevril, “rogues cover the shield users!”
They quickly tuned to face the new group of Goblins while a few of the tanks moped up the first group of goblins. As they started to cut a number of the goblins down a third group came in from the opposite passage.
Merlin, “Kevril we’re surrounded.”
Kevril looked around to see the guilds formation finally crumble.
Kevril, “Mage’s use fire ball!”
The Mages started to cast fireball into the mass of goblins. The explosions sent a number of them flying while others disintegrated on impact.
Kevril was forced to fight through the Goblins to gather the guild back into some form of organized resistance. As he took ones head off he came across Marcella and a few other archers shooting rapidly into the goblins while a few swordsmen where holding the goblins back.
Kevril, “Marcella are you alright?!”
Marcella, “this is the most fun I’ve had in a long time.”
She continued to shoot one goblin after another with critical hits from hitting vital spots.
They continued to work on this group of goblins when merlin and a number of other players attacked from the rear launching fireballs.
Merlin, “goblins make good ingredients. Keep at it soon we will have enough to make a large amount of bombs and poisons.”
Kevril, “having fun merlin!”
Merlin pushed his glasses up, “always.”
As the group of goblins was finished off Ali came over with the clerics and the rest of the guild.
Ali, “those things where disgusting!”
Marcella, “oh come on now Ali was it really that bad.”
Rogue, “you should have seen it at first she was just running away from them. Then after one touched her she turned around and started hammering them with her staff. Eventually she was chasing a small group of them around.”
Merlin, “I wish I could have seen that.”
Ali, “shut up I could not stand their filth.”
Marcella, “There, there Ali there’s no need to worry anymore.”
Kevril, “did we lose anyone?”
Beowulf, “I noticed Poison Taco ran down the passage ahead of us with a few goblins on his tail.”
Ali, “we lost one of the clerics who got to far from the group.”
Marcella, “looks like we are missing Bullseye.”
Kevril, “Anyone else?!”
Merlin, “It looks like we only lost the three.”
Marcella, “that’s not bad considering how disorganized that became.”
Merlin, “I’m guessing we drew in the goblin bands due to the shields men pounding their shields.”
Kevril, “you may be right it would reach far enough to bring in more. Well it’s a good fear tactic though it did not work well this time.”
The guild reorganized while gathering the loot. Soon they headed off down the passage after Poison Taco. They eventually found him on top of a boulder looking over some of his items while a few goblins where trying to reach him.
Beowulf, “We should just leave him up there.”
Poison Taco, “hay that’s not fare!”
He quickly put away his item and stood up.
Beowulf, “but you ran off to save your own skin.”
Poison Taco, “come on I was cut off from you guys and my health was low.”
Kevril, “well is your health back up then.”
Poison Taco nodded, “its almost at max again.”
The goblins had noticed the guild and where charging at them.
Marcy, “yes more XP!”
She shot off a few arrows while merlin shot a fireball. The goblins where gone in seconds.
Beowulf, “you should have let him get out of that by himself.”
Kevril, “we are a guild that looks out for each other.”
Beowulf, “fine but it he does this again I’m not helping him out.”
Kevril just shook his head before leading the guild further into the dungeon. As they when further in they came upon a massive door with old runes on it.
Kevril, “Merlin can you decipher it?”
Merlin, “This is ancient writing it may take some time.”
Merlin put his hand on one of the runes. As he moved his palm along it while taking a book out it began to glow.
Ali, “Is it supposed to do that?”
Kevril, “it may be a trap”
Merlin, “I don’t think…”
A voice came out of nowhere.
Laee, “You have stepped into the Sentinels Trial grounds. Beware those who venter in… this is annoying I just want to drink mead. Well you will face a number of difficult challenges… bla bla bla. Oh and if you fail you may not take this test again that is all. Mead, Mead, Mead, the drink of the gods…”
The guild just stood there starring at the door as it opened.
Merlin, “do you think that there was any meaning to those words?”
Kevril, “who knows I heard from Aaron that one of his companions sings a similar tune.”
Ali, “She makes me think of the dwarves.”
The guild just starred at her.
Ali, “what?!”

Lucky has finally reached level 30 after vigorous weeks of leveling up and training under Jonathan. The first few days were the worst facing all the high-level monsters and animals outside the city.
The first quest took him a whole day with the help of his fellow players and on occasion the city guards. Eventually for the first few days they came up with a strategy where they quickly do a round of rock paper scissors the loser is the one that is used as a sacrificial pawn to draw the preys attention while the rest kill it.
At first it was rough and the sacrificial pawn died almost every time but when they finally got to around level five they were able to kill the rabbits as a party of four so there was three groups staying together.
Once they where level at level ten they were able to hunt the rabbits, squirrels, and small rat’s by themselves but they still worked as a team to kill the foxes, deer, wolves, and any other monster in the area.
As they continued to work their way up they noticed a number of players began to copy their meathead of hunting. Some took it to far using a single player as bait and treating them poorly while others worked in perfect team coordination even volunteering.
By the end of the first week they were going into the near by forest hunting wolves and other monsters in their small party’s. They had even managed to buy better gear and got a set of squires armor free through their knight training. Then one day Jonathan called all the player’s and NPC’s together that were training to become knights or already were.
Reshi, “What should we hunt next?”
Lucky, “I’m not sure… wait I heard about a cave filled with spiders and an assortment of other monsters was found the other day is anyone interested?”
Becky, “that doesn’t sound fun but I did hear they were within our level range of hunting.”
They finally reached the site were Jonathon told them to meet and it seemed they were the last group to arrive.
Jonathon, “Good everyone’s here we can begin. The Chosen have asked us to head for silver City to help mop up some rouges and bring order back so we will be heading out first thing in the morning.”
Becky, “we’re leaving the city?! Are we even the right level yet?”
Reshi, “this sounds fun looks like we wont be hunting spiders.”
Lucky, “this sounds a lot more fun.”
Becky, “your right it sounds a lot more fun the hunting spiders.”
Rabbet who was usually quiet, “I would prefer to hunt spiders…”
They all looked at him since he was so quiet they forgot he was there.
Jonathon, “Please pack all the things you need for the journey, we will supply food, and first aid goods but the rest you will need to get on your own due to low funds currently… should have asked Aaron for more gold.” The last part he mumbled to himself.
So began their journey across the island encountering new monsters and having a leveling marathon.

John sat at his desk looking at the list of individuals that currently had the highest mental matching levels to the AI’s. There were thirteen in total that matched within five percent six male and seven female. At the top of the list was Aaron with all the information of his character and even the restricted information on his real life identity.
He smiled reading the current information that they had. Currently Aaron or should he use the young mans real name Alan, well anyways currently his character is the second highest level out of all the current players out of millions. The only reason the young man is second is due to someone spending 90% of their time playing Mythical legends.
He’s acquired one of the top fifty hidden classes in the game within the first month and now he’s achieved a number of events following his classes’ personal quest. And his mental match is even slowly rising where it was once 97% it is now at 97.058% and rising. The board and CEO are greatly pleased and wish to accelerate the project.
While Alan was an exceptional find the other twelve are not as great. A third of them have recently found hidden classes connecting them to the AI but they aren’t on as often or achieved as many feats or events as Alan. Still they are all in the top 100 players in the game.
But as the CEO ordered they have been looking into these thirteen people and planned on sending out letters offering a job here at the company mainly as guinea pigs for study and possible any future experiments.
While in the middle of looking at the current information they had there is phone on his desk buzzed. Setting the papers down he pressed the button for the speaker.
“What is it?”
female secretary, “Max is here to see you sir.”
He sighed, “let him in.”
Max walked in carrying a foulder, “Sir you… you wont belie…believe this!” he said excitedly.
“what is it Max”
“well sir you… you know how we had a few matches to the AI and you want…wanted any information we get on them.”
“yes.”
“Well sir we… we just received an application from the top match.” Max handed John the folder.
“Applied for what?”
“He… he applied for a position related to… to our Mythical Legends division.”
“hmm” John wondered as he opened the folder, “this could work… Thanks Max you can go now.”
“Um… um sir I was wondering if I could talk to you about… about my project.”
John looked at Max irritably, “set a meeting with the team through my secretary right now I have a number of things I need to do.”
“yes sir I’ll… I’ll do that.” Max quickly left.
He sighed looking at the door before looking at the application in the folder. Reading through the application he found portfolio website link. He opened up his web browser and went to the link. There he found dozens of projects ranging from 3D animation and programing to photography and studies, he even found a number of papers written by Alan with a number of theories and designs.
The more John looked through the portfolio the more he began to smile with ideas on how to get the companies hands on the young man. He quickly sent a letter to the investigators setting Alan Duke as the main priority.
