though out the entire night, The magi left the elf's dream, and went to another tent.
The magi felt a strong feeling of dread and terror in a particular tent, so he went there planning to further terrorize the sleeper.
It was a human sleeping the magi noticed as he stepped into the tent, The magi did it's ritual and entered jack's dream, The magi upon entering the dream got to see what jack was dreaming, It saw that jack was heavily attached to feona. This time the magi took the form of Zeke, and It changed the dream so that it was zeke running off with feona. The magi made the dream play over and over.
The lantern was beginning to brighten up at a exponential rate. The magi laughed with glee, It had done a good job.
The magi had the flap of the tent opened about to walk out, when something grabbed it's foot.
"that dream was to horrible for me to stay asleep." the crisp words pierced the stagnant night air
The magi froze in place
Jack slashed at the magi with his dagger across the it's robed back but before it could hit,
The magi quickly turned around and blocked the hit with a wooden thud of his short gnarled staff.
"Then I'll just have to make it so horrible, you'll never wake up!" The magi retorted
and ran out the opened fap ,Jack got up and ran after the magi
The magi was standing only outside of the tent with a grin on it's face, and it's gnarled staff under it's chin.
Jack moved to the magi but before he could reach him, he fell into a deep black pit, Jack didn't notice it, but the magi had casted a enchantment on the ground he stepped into, the enchantment made a deep black hole wherever it was casted, If one were to fall into the hole, they would imagine they were falling down forever into black nothingness, when they were actually just lying on the ground shivering from the coldness of the spell.

Jack was found lying on the ground shivering by the two elves on watch,
"Jack are you okay" night stalker asked
"we just saw some short robed magician run from the direction of our camp" Night stalker said
"that creature was tormenting us" jack said
night stalker helped jack up
Night stalker asked what jack meant, jack explained what had just happened, and what the robbed creature was.
"yes magi, The masters of illusions and fast work" Night stalker commented
Jack looked behind him at his tent's entrance
"I must of stepped into one of those illusions" Jack said
The tall elf Felx that hated jack, loomed behind night stalker, sleepy eyed was the tall elf, jack noticed
Jack quickly thought "maybe it's my chance to make it up to this big lug..."
"hey Felix, I'll take the rest of the night watch for you" Jack said nicely
The tall elf didn't acknowledge he heard jack,he just walked off to his tent
Jack and night stalker walk to the night watching spot
"so you've been training your whole life as a warrior?" Jack continued the conversation
"only, since i was 5 years of age, not a warrior, More or less a assassin of sorts, My father was a great illusionist and assassin himself, he was who taught me, how to use my first illusion" Night stalker said
"and what was the illusion?" Jack asked
"It was as simple as discreetly lighting a small smoke ball behind my back, and releasing it at a selected time" Night stalker said
"I'm curious..."
"what does that big guy Felix have against me?" Jack asked
"you use to fight for zaro's right?" Night stalker asked
"yes." Jack said
"well., Felix's family was killed by a wild Zaro's solider, when he was the age of 3, He's been raised as a orphan every since by Leonard and his wife."
"well, that is something" Jack commented
"you know, I didn't chose the life of a zaro's magician, I myself was born into a family, under zaro's reign"
"it was 21 years ago, in a northern island off of Zaro's reign

"it was 21 years ago, in a northern island off of Zaro's reign, My mother said I had the most beautiful blue eyes and black as night hair, My father had me study basic magic at 6, though i displayed magic beyond my age, My mom said she saw me changing the colors of the flowers outside in the garden one day, She walked up to me, as I think i was changing the color of a rose to blue." Jack said
"My father taught me some combative training but most of the intermediate basic attacks, I learned from basic training with the zaro's army, At the age of 13 I was given the ancient spells of zaro's pages, I casted my first ice spell on a small dog, which froze only from the inside, but not the outside. There was a war going on, Zamorack required Zaro's to lend his army in help taking territory from the lands west of us, inhibited by the local Hilbert people. I then took the combat placement test, My father was very proud to hear I had placed among the highest rank in the combat testing held at Zaro's castle. Zaro's a black haired pale skinned king, actually personally came to my family's house that night to congratulate me on placing so high on the test. He informed me I were to take leadership training, combat training, and theoretical magic, A magic education of the highest level, I was told to drop all of my current training sessions,
That was the last night I saw my parents.
From there me and Zaros grew very close, Zaro's thought so highly of me, that he thought it only fit that he would be the one to teach me theoretical magic. I was taught by him every day at dawn, and on the time I wasn't being taught by him I was being trained in leadership and basic combat. Each night I went to sleep my head throbbed and my legs and arms ached. Most of the time I slept in a private chamber in Zaro's castle, To save time, But interestingly enough I was treated like a young prince, I was fed by the castle's chief, and taught by only the finest teachers coin could buy.

Zaro's taught me freeze spells, that could do things, that normal people would call heinous and unnatural, Zaros would take me out on the castle's grounds, We would spar for a hour, always at midnight, Zaros told me, "you should always avoid fighting in day light, The magic I have taught you works best at night, and works exceptionally better at midnight." Jack accepted the knowledge. Me and zaros would fight for one hour and I would study the many different books of forbidden ancient magic for the remainer of the time.
Zaro's could do things jack didn't think was possible, He could teleport from side to side to evade all of jack's spells, He was also very fast as casting spells, but what jack really admired about zaro's besides his freezing spells of destruction. Jack admired his powers to transform into whatever shape or size he wanted. Just for jack's amusement one day, Zaro's transformed into a muscled tall figure, then into a old man, then zaro's took jack's face and shape. Jack was stunned for a moment confused if he was looking into a mirror or his mind was playing games on him, Zaro's transformed back into himself, "Transfiguration at it's best" Zaro's smiled lopsidedly. "when will I learn that sire zaros?" Jack asked easily inspired by the show zaro's had just put on
"in due time" Zaros patted jack on the back
Jack smiled
Jack was trained like this for months, Until one day Zaro's wanted to test jack's skills,
"Now, I've trained you tooth and nail for the past year, you have progressed exceptionally in magic, and combat, I want to see what you've learned, I have set up a group of advanced units for you, To the north east of here, is a small rogue's camp, They have been hindering merchants from coming in, and also have stolen some of our own cargo, I want you to shut them down, no prisoners.."
"Does that mean i will have to kill? Jack asked not enjoying the thought
"If you don't get blood on your hands, my young student,

"If you don't get blood on your hands, my young student, Don't bother returning to my empire of zaros."
Jack gritted his teeth at the statement
"understood, sire" Jack replied
Everything was going as planned, Jack was commanding the troops with his head held high like he had been taught in his leadership training, Zaro's had given jack the staff of zaro's before he left, which he had thrusted to his side with pride, it was a show of status and power, and of magic. He was in charge of a group of elite knights, they're armor shone respectively in the day light, The armor was crafted not by normal means but twisted by dark magic to take form, The dark purple cross with a circle with indentations sticking outward marked on the horses they rode on.
When they arrived at the rogue's encampment it was empty, only remains of a camp stayed, bones, litter, the smell of human feces.
Jack knew something wasn't right, The rogues had no reason to abandon camp, which further makes no sense, when they were making profit.
"Did they find out about our sneak attack?" jack wondered
Jack gathered up his men, preparing to make search parties for the rogues, Jack believed could be hiding.
Suddenly jack felt the air around him and his men heaten up, Then the air caught fire, The horses screamed, Jack grabbed onto his staff, and casted ice every where around him, in a desperate attempt to cool down the air around him, He fell off his horse still burning, but manged to keep hold of the staff of zaros, then he casted a protective shell of ice around him. He could see though the ice chamber he was in, that it looked like there was some type of fire tornado going on.
The fire tornado finally ceases to spin the fire, everything goes back to normal, all is silent then jack hears voices murmuring.
Jack breaks out of his ice shell and looks around
All of his men and horses are dead, the fine zaro's symbol's clothed on the horses sides badly burnt, The men burnt alive, still in there armor.

Jack hears a footstep behind him, the hit on the back of jack's head gave a thud, before he blacked out.
He wakes up in a barred cell, his staff of zaro's taken from him
A figure shows up, "you will be fed, if you win"
The next day two guards, roughly grab jack out of the cell, and throw him in some sort of arena.
He sees on the other side another man is throw into the arena as well, Jack notes the blood spots that litter the ground, The man picks up some sort of weapon and begins walking towards jack.
"You may now battle" He hears a voice announce out of view
Jack starts flaring up his magical energy into his two fist's, by the time the warrior is close enough, Jack sends the surge of magical energy into the warrior's face, The warrior goes blank eyed and stumbles to the ground, Jack walks up to the man, sees he is still breathing, Jack watches the man, then remembers zaro's command, charges up another bout of energy, and sends it directly into the back of the man's skull. Jack hears a one person clapping "excellent magician" the same voice from before announces.
"That is quite a adventure for one so young" night stalker summarizes
Jack grins
"yes, i suppose it is." jack says
"what happened to zaro's anyways?"
"I haven't heard any news, so I assume the king is still ruling his empire" Jack said
"you aren't that bad" Night stalker says
"hey" Jack feels a hand on his solider
It's leonard
"it's time to start packing up, dawn is almost ahead of us" Leonard says
"wake up the others" Leonard commands
"my lord..." Zeke says
"should we let them escape like this?" Zeke asks
"let them escape to only toy with later" Zamorack dully states
"Send a group of merwoman to watch them from afar" Zamorack continues
"Yes, my lord"

"such beauty, such chaotic anesthetic pain..."
"what great pain, what great beauty"
"wonderful wonderful"
"show me more, my eyes hungry like wolves"
"fill me up, flowing ebbing light"
the merwoman sang as they dotted along, in there loosely fitting dresses, easily keeping up with the elves, from a long distance.
The group setted up camp south east of Zamorack's castle.
"what do we do now?" felix asked
Leonard walked away from the group, and pulled out his black shineless mirror,
"Elf king..,Elf king"
"Yes?" The king responded though the mirror
"we have been spotted, and even assaulted last night by a magi, I'm not sure if we've been followed, but we are hiding south east of Zamorack's castle, What are your orders?" Leonard asked
"Must you always be given orders leonard?, you are failing me as a elite squad commander, don't forget your task at hand, which is to return feona daughter of the high priest elysian, We elves are not the type to be trifled with" the king spoke
"Feona was spotted inside one of Zamorack's temples, Jack spotted her, while on a investigation mission of the city" Leonard added
"I Cannot risk you and your men being slayed by zamorackians, return to the houses of elves, you have conveyed to much information to your enemy and now this mission would be fitting to be called a suicide if continued."
"return at once, to the houses of elves, we will decide how to proceed from there" The king said
"Understood, but I was thinking if we had reinforcements to help, we could..." Leonard said, the king cut him off
"that was a order, commander., there will be a ship waiting for you, south of the island"
Leonard told the news to the group,
"I can't say I didn't forsee that coming" one of the elves said
the others started packing and accepted the information, Jack felt sick though, He kept remembering feona on the floor, so vulnerable in front of all the Zamorackian worshipers.
"I should of did something" Jack kept thinking in his head

"now feona. is somewhere alone, being kept, being kept ready for whatever Zamorack has planned for her" Jack thought
Jack didn't feel right packing up and heading back with there tail between there legs, with feona still being held, He felt anger at Leonard for commanding the squad like he did, for getting them into this mess.
"I can't do this" jack thought
going back to the houses of elves, and then planning something there, which could possibly take weeks, then sailing back to this northern peninsula, was to much time for jack to bare, He knew Zamorack didn't value feona's life, if he let her just be offered to those Zamorack freaks. Her life could end any moment.
"are you sure we have to listen to the elf king?" Jack asked Leonard quietly
"sadly, we must jack, I know it's hard to let go of everything we've done, but we've simply shown our selves to much, we have blown our presence" Leonard said
"It is much to risky to stay here now, in front of one of the enemy's strong holds, which at any time, they could send a army at a moment's notice, and we'd be all crow's food" Leonard reasoned
Jack said nothing
The group started south to the ship's docking point, they traveled south over the tough slightly frozen landscape. When it was sundown they stopped and made a fire and started eating.
"okay elves, everyone we got 3 more days until we reach the ship, no one got lost right?" Leonard kidded trying to raise the mood
"I don't see jack" someone said
"Me either" a red haired elf added in
Leonard looked around the camp fire
"you got to be kidding me.." Leonard said
He got up and searched the camp and called jack's name, "damn it, the elf king isn't gonna like this" Leonard said
Jack was walking as fast as his legs would allow without to much pain, Jack kept picturing feona unconscious, He kept getting more and more angry with himself for failing to save her, now he was separated from the group, He didn't care about that though, He needed to fix his mistake.

"what great pain, what great pleasure..." the words slowly made there way to jack's ears, it sounded beautiful, but he could barely hear it.
"did I hear something or is my head playing music?" Jack asked himself innocently
Jack was still walking north to Zamorack's castle, Jack started to hear the sounds of lapping waves, Jack remembered the small lake they had passed on the way down.
"it must of been the waves of the lake, I had heard" Jack thought
"beautiful, chaotic, pain." the words floated over barely contained in one reality, the words seemed to dance with the waves and make a new harmony of natural music. Jack felt elevated, as he refilled his water bag in the shallows of the lake.
"My eyes are hungry like a wolves..." the words were sung as smooth as silk, jack was enjoying the music he heard in his head, He saw movement to his left, It was a woman with long red hair, she was singing. "youth is not forever" the woman said with a smile.
"neither is life" Jack grinned
"you have a wonderful voice." Jack added
two other women joined the red haired woman, jack noticed there complexions were much lighter then a normal women's, there eyes are what scared jack, they were pitch black.
"I really must get going." Jack said, walking away
"fill me up, flowing ebbing light" they all sang in perfect harmony
Jack stopped in his tracks, He wanted to hear more of there song, He suddenly wanted to dance and yell right where he was. Then jack remembered these women were most likely sent from Zamorack. "I'm sorry, I really must get going, Please stop singing it makes me long to stay to dance far to much" Jack attempted to smile but ended up with a awkward tightened face.
"please won't you stay?" the red haired woman's velvet voice asked
Jack didn't respond, he started running away, he kept running but the voices kept singing over and over in his head. He kept walking towards the castle, watching the stars as he went, jack wondered how long the voices would stay in his head.

Jack walked until the next day, Finally he spotted the castle, he was so exhausted he could barely keep his eyes open. He setted up his small tent in the brush the group had camped in the first night they had camped outside of Zamorack's castle.
"Alright" jack said to himself
"all is going according to plan so far." Jack reassured himself, knowing his tent was well hidden by a foliage of trees.
"Zamorack saw us leave this mourning, that's why he sent the merwoman after us to keep watch, which means, I'm safe here for the time being, since he would believe we are to be heading south." Jack thought before he collapsed into the tent, and fell into a deep sleep.
Jack woke to the sounds of grinding chains, His heart sped up when he remembered where he was, He quickly packed up his tent, and headed for the back entrance to the castle's grounds. Jack traveled to the spot the group had been the other night, He could set up camp there, but jack thought it was a obvious spot, this time around jack had a plan of his own.
He walked pass the old camping site, and onto the paved bricks that were standard in this small city.
"I just need need a night lodge..." Jack thought, He made sure, he wore his hooded sweater over his face, the elves had given him it for the mission.
"this hood provides some cover, but I need a better disguise" Jack thought bitterly
Jack walked to the central plaza he had been taken to by the strange girl, there were people there, jack inquired one of them where he might find a cheap lodge to stay for the night. The young man advised jack to go 2 blocks down until he saw the name "Yonder lodge".
Jack stepped into the londge, He saw it was a bar and inn type of business, He walked pass the bar, to the inn side.
"How much for a couple days?" Jack asked the old haggard woman behind the counter.
"7 coins." she said without looking at jack, just being miserable
