“Eventually, me and my friends got bored, and explored outside of the town, less than fifty feet out, we discovered a small entrance, with lanterns shining the way, we discovered a small, natural slope which lead into a huge cave, and we instantly agreed upon what to do with this location.” He paused for a few minutes, to eat some more food, no one pressured him to continue until he was finished. “We spent a week and a half gathering the things we would need, no one asked questions, but we slowly spread the word of what we were doing. We converted the cave into something of a party house, we had smugglers bring in booze, we set up a make shift kitchen, stocked with bags of rice, and fruits.”

“We set up lanterns, we hired musicians, we even busted through the stone floor to make a small, indoor pool. It was expensive, most of the funding came from my savings, while my friends supplied most of the labor. It was a smash hit, but people knew of the club only in whispers, every night, for almost four years, we hosted this club.. it was honestly all some people had to look forward to at the end of the day, with all the oppression and what not. But eventually, a snoopy guard caught word of this club, and they waited until the party had begun, everyone who left was beaten with a club, and taken away for slave work as punishment.”

“They tortured some of the people they captured to learn who the leaders of the club were, they then raided the place, no one escaped, I was captured along with several of my closest friends…” he sighed deeply, and bowed his head, “those poor fools. My father begged and offered money for my freedom, but they insisted I deserved what I had coming to me. I was beaten thoroughly, and then put to work in a coal mine for a year. I plotted, I schemed, but I never had the chance to make a jail break, and further more, where would I run to, stuck on a massive island, completely under the control of hateful tyrants.”

“I was reassigned, me and a large work force were to clear a path through dense forest, and smash the small boulders littering the forest floor to make way for a road.” He smirked “It did*’t take me long to realize that, sledge hammers were heavy enough to crush through the armor of the guards, and the chains that kept us bound to the job site. The machetes we had were also nice and sharp, and would easily slice flesh… and perhaps most importantly, the road was to be built near the sea, we were barely two miles away from a harbor.”

“During the night, I would encourage them, I would spur them into a rage, but they would never act on it… that is, until they witnessed one of our own, beaten to death for some reason or another, I could feel the tension in the air, see the hate in their eyes, how badly they wanted to fight back against the cowardly, masked guards… I lifted my sledge hammer, and sent it into the skull of one of those fools, it was instantly a blood bath as the hundred something of us fought the hugely overwhelmed guard force with extreme hate, shattered our shackles, and fled to the sea.”


“We captured a ship, and I used my studies to help stall the guards, for I had been studying the art of Summoning, I brought forth minotaurs to hold them back while we fled, and it worked well until they were slain, their swift battle ships caught up with us, and we fought bitterly, destroying one of their vessels with cannon fire, a second was forced back to port from home made fire bombs, but finally they landed on the boat, I used my last pouch, another minotaur, and the fighting lasted on deck for at least thirty minutes, they were better armed, armored, and trained. But we had nothing to lose, and everything to gain.”

“I took a few sword blows, before retreating below deck, to get help. Running towards the self proclaimed doctors, a cannonball ripped into the haul, smashing into a barrel of gunpowder and igniting it, it burned me, and the wooden shrapnel felt like nails digging into my skin. They patched me up the best they could, but I blacked out, probably from a mixture of pain and exhaustion from fighting. I woke up drifting in the sea, I drifted for two days, I collected ran water to drink, but I’ve slowly been starving, and then that storm picked up, and catapulted me near this ship, favor from the Gods, or something. And now I’m here, obviously.”

Bentley nodded, he wasn’t sure if he believed all of it, but it was an interesting story at the very least. “That was a fun way to waste a few hours” Aiden laughed, standing up and clapping his hands sarcastically, before walking out of the med center, with his brother close behind.

“Well Ko, if we took you back to your home, you’d be killed wouldn’t you?” Bentley asked, even though he knew the answer.

“Yes, they’d hang me at the gallows, but I’ll find a way to return to visit my family some day.” Bentley felt sympathetic, even though in the back of his mind he wasn’t so sure if he should be, Bentley twisted his mustache.

“I could offer you a job, here on the Swag..” he began, before Anastasia interrupted him.

“Or you could come with us, you could explore the main lands of this planet.”

“You’re that girl who saved me!” Ko said excitedly, trying to get out of bed, but cringing in pain as he sat up, he slowly laid back down. Anastasia nodded with a smile, as Lowe and Forrest were both instantly curious as to why she had said that.

“And people skilled with summoning are able to find work relatively quickly.” Azura added “You could easily land a job as a security guard for a high profile business if you’re good with summoning large, unstoppable security devices.” She giggled.

“I’m very happy to hear this… I would most certainly love to come to the main land with you. I would not want to be a parasite, I can assure you I will assist you in any way I can to help repay my debt.”

Forrest had warmed up to the guy, he sounded alright, fun loving, hard working, that was essentially the definition of a good man. “It ain’t a burden to help someone in need, man.” Forrest smiled.

Bentley stood up and laughed “Well ‘Ko’, your luck sure has been bad, but it looks like it’s turning around now. Oh, and while we’re in the same room, you four should know that the storm and karamthulhus delayed our trip, we’ll be there not tomorrow, but the next day.” He said before strolling out of the med center. Conversations continued between Ko and the four, as the end of the day came near.

Deep, deep below the raging sea, a horrible spell was being cast, by a cult of non human worshipers, the spell enraged the sea, sending it into a fury that mortals perceived as a bad storm, and so it began to wake. His faithful followers danced and celebrated, as he would soon be returned to them, after so many years, after so many generations spent idly awaiting this very day, soon, very soon.

Hey :)

I usually camp in the Rants section of the forums but I was curling my hair and thought I'd read a story whilst I did it - it's so boring... But I'm getting quick at it now :)

Anyway! I'm only on the 6th page :| but I'm loving it so far! Nice job :P

Long after the others had fallen asleep, Anastasia was still speaking with Ko, she was able to relate to him, she lived in an oppressive country many years ago, too, she only escaped through trickery, she did*’t fearlessly battle her way towards freedom. She also wasn’t covered in bruises and wounds, so who’s the real winner? She thought with a soft giggle. The medics interrupted the conversation, they gave Ko a glass of water, and some pain killers, along with a potion whipped up by the doctors, after consuming the items, he was told to go to sleep, for the body naturally heals while sleeping, and that combined with the healing affects of the healing products, would have him on his feet much sooner, and so the day ended below deck.

Above deck, the weather had calmed, and the Lunar Isles was visible through telescope, Bentley stood at the rear of the ship and gazed off into the night, eager to get to the islands to relax, the bad weather and karamthulhus had been exhausting. He sat down, opening another bottle of wine and pouring himself a glass full. Taking a sip, and putting his feet up felt good as he bathed in the moonlight. He closed his eyes and swished the liquid around in his mouth, when something interrupted his relaxation, it was an odd noise, like something slimy being dragged. He looked around, and saw nothing, he tried to rest his eyes again, and heard nothing for five minutes, before it started up again. It was much more quick than last time, and a “pop” noise was heard as well.
