Chapter 2
"Holy shit."(Shawn)
Shawn looks around noticing the battle that was painted is now happening before his eyes. Shawn is glued to the ground thinking if he got up he'd be murdered.
"Follow me!" A voice says from the distance.
Shawn looks up and spots a young man in torn clothes.
"They will kill me!"(Shawn)
The man runs over to Shawn.
"My names Roland you need to trust me. We have to run for the trees."(Roland)
"OK I understand."(Shawn)
The two men take off for the forrest, but before they could make it Roland gets hit with what looks like a fiery blast.
"Nooo!"(Shawn)
Shawn falls to the ground again in fear then looks up to see if Rolands OK. Before he could find him a man grabs Shawn by the throat.
"Why are you doing this?"(Shawn)
No response from the man with eyes as dark as night. Then Roland runs up from the side and with one clean swing he chops the mans arm off and the man with nightmare eyes lets out a yell that seemed ground shaking.
"Run!"(Roland)
Nothing from the now passed out Shawn....Hours pass and its now night.
"You awake?"(Roland)
"Doesn't look like it."(Shawn)
Roland looks at Shawn confused.
"So where are we?"(Shawn)
"After you passed out I carried you to my home."(Shawn)
"Oh well thanks,wait I saw you die.."(Shawn)
"No the fire blast barely touched me... hey you dropped this."(Roland)
Roland hands Shawn the sword and sheath he dropped when he fell through the painting.
"This came through too..."(Shawn)
Shawn whispers.
"You know I'm not from here right?"(Shawn)

"Yeah I can tell from your fancy clothes."(Roland)
"My clothes... just curious why did you save me?"(Roland)
"I suppose it was because you didn't look like a soldier or a conjurer plus looked like you were going to piss yourself hahahaha."(Roland)
"haha....yea, wait a conjurer?"(Shawn)
"Yeah a spell caster."(Roland)
"That would explain the fire ball.....so what now?"(Shawn)
"Im hungry let's get something to eat."(Roland)
The two men walk outside and the reality of the situation sinks in even more while he passes women and children in rag like clothes not to mention the mud and tent structures.
"Here we are. Two beef stews."(Roland)
"I can't stay with you."(Shawn)
"Why must you leave?"(Roland)
"I need to find my way home."(Shawn)
"OK but stay and eat this with me."(Roland)
"Deal."(Shawn)
The food is now presented in front of them and Shawn can't help but think how gross it looks, but Shawn is able the finish it.
"You can go ahead and leave I have something to take care of here."(Roland)
"OK see ya."(Shawn)
Shawn begins walking in an unknown direction trying to find his way home, then hears a familier scream.
"Man I'm going to regret this."(Shawn)
Shawn runs back and Roland is being man handled by two men it armor.
"Stop!"(Shawn)
"Go away boy this is the kings order."(Soldier)
"king?"(Shawn)
The sword Shawn's been carrying starts to glow.
Shawn unsheaths the sword and it continues to glow bright gold.
"WHAT ARE YOU?"(Soldier)
"The one true king.....now run!"(Shawn)
