----a cave in the abyss-----
Lucarius was sleeping until he heard a voice from afar. The voice grew louder every time he ignored it. He slowly opens his eyes. Before he opened his eyes, he hoped that everything that happened so far was a dream and the pain was merely a stomach ache from drinking to much alcohol. However when he opened his eyes, he was inside a cave.
There were lanterns every where. As soon as his eyes adjusted to the light, he noticed his surrounding and felt like puking. There were body parts hanging from a hook that were attached to chains on the ceiling of the cave. He looked beside him and noticed something very familiar. It was a wolf's head. Not just any wolf but the wolf that he fought. The only reason why he was able to recognize is the visible scar on the eye where he threw the rock at.
However when he looked closer, it's eyes and tongue were missing and there was a visible incision on the tongue as the tongue was cut clean. Then the phantom pain hit him and Lucarius focused on himself. When he looked down, he noticed he too was hanging by a hook that penetrated on the place the ratman stabbed.
Lucarius screamed as reality hit him. "Help! Someone please help me!" Tears were streaming out from both pain and fear of what will happen to him. He knew he have escape. Then suddenly he heard something running towards him. the thing grumbled and then yelled at him. Before Lucarius turned towards the voice, something knocked him out again.
3 hours later, Lucarius woke up again. The place was still the same. However this time there were loud noise of chains being dragged. Lucarius looked up. There stood one of the ratman that had stabbed him. He heard something yelling and cursing towards the one ratman that was dragging something. Behind the ratman was the wolf's head. Unlike last time, this time Lucarius thought over a plan on how to escape.
He knew that if he cried out again one of them will come over to investigate. Instead this time he waited until for they come for him. Luckly the hole in his stomach stopped bleeding, however he knew that the longer he waited, the more likely his wound might get infected. Lucarius hoped that the ratman will come faster than he expected. As if someone answered his prayer, he heard visible noises from a hallway, down from the cave. He quickly acted as if he was dead.
However unlike the usual noise of grumbling and sniffing, he heard a female voice with a masculine voice, different to those noisy voice that the ratmans made.
Lucarius peeked at the figures that entered. There stood two figures entirely different to the ratman. Unlike the ratman, they looked lot more humanoid. The only reason he knew that they weren't human were tails and hands that has rather long claws and the ears. One of them was a female, younger looking than Lucarius, around 16 if he had to guess. Even though she looked young, anyone can see that she was very beautiful. The person beside her was taller than her and had visible muscle who wore only an undershirt and short pants made of leather. He looked older than the girl, older than Lucarius.
As they were sneaking by him, Lucarius quietly whispered to them. "Hey wait, please can you help me. I need help please." The two figure suddenly stopped and jumped as if they seen a ghost. They quickly turned towards the voice. When the two figure seen Lucarius, the girl let out a small gasp, as the boy just gave Lucarius a silent stare. Since Lucarius already got their attention, he continued. "Please I beg of you, save me please. I don't know what is happening and I just want to go home. Please"
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
The two figures looked at each other and whispered to each. The girl whispered softly and it looked as if it was begging for something. The boy merely shook his head and whispered something to his sister. The sister pointed towards Lucarius and whispered something back and approached Lucarius quietly. The boy tried to stop the girl but heard a noise coming from the hallway and quickly hid in the shadow.
Then the two ratman came in. They looked around inside the cave until their eyes met Lucarius. Then they both let out a menacing grin. Lucarius felt fear and his mind screaming danger. Lucarius wanted to move but realized that if he moved the girl might get caught. As the ratmans aproached him slowly his mind began to panic. Then he suddenly recognize a figure that was stalking the ratmans it was the boy, and he carried a rather sharp dagger.
Before anyone can react, the boy stabbed the knife from behind. The first ratman shrieked in pain as the other turned around while grabbing his dagger in order to facethe threat that approached them. Before the boy can react, the ratman let out a fit of rage before lunging towards him. The boy barely managed to parry the incoming blade. Meanwhile the girl quickly dashed towards Lucarius. As soon as she reached Lucarius, she quickly grabbed the chains and began to chant something. suddenly the chains began to move. Then as if it was alive. the hook bend in a degree that let Lucarius slide out of.
The first ratman faced at Lucarius and seeing that he was freed, The ratman pointed at the girl and shrieked in rage. than it grabbed the crossbow that hang from it's side. The boy recognizing what was going to happen quickly shouted something to the girl. Before she can react, the arrow was already loaded and was aimed at the girl. Then the ratman released the arrow.
it felt like a slow motion as the arrow was traveling. Lucarius turned around. The girl was visibly shocked and couldn't get out of the trajectory line. Lucarius knew he had to do something. he thought of pushing her away but he did not have enough strength. The only way was to get in the way of the trajectory line. He grimaced as he quickly went in the way in order to block the incoming shot.
The arrow pierced through him and was visibly sticking out from his chest. The girl looked shocked as Lucarius felt strength was fading away from him. He slumped down. The girl shook her head as reality began to hit her. She screamed in rage as her eyes looked as if on fire. The ratman with the crossbow squealed and began loading the arrow. However he was tad late as her fist combusted into flame and faced her palm towards the ratman. then balls of fire shot from her palm and and shot towards the ratman.
Not being agile enough, the ratman was directly hit in the face. The ratman let out a terrible shriek as his face began to burn. The second ratman shrieked as he seen his comrade burst into flames. the boy used this moment of hesitation to quickly dashed forward and push his dagger into its neck. The surprised ratman let out a terrible gurgling noise as blood began to flood his lungs and suffocating him. It dropped its dagger and clawed at it's neck as if trying to get air. than it went rigid and fell down.
The fire in the girl's eyes was slowly extinguished and quickly looked at Lucarius. She quickly checked his pulse than his breathing. She felt relief that he was at least breathing and still had a pulse. Lucarius opened his eyes once more at the girl before passing out again from the pain.
