“Are you ready Sam? We have a long day ahead of us,” Liliana asked. “Yea lemme just get ready.” The boy went ahead and put on his red and black outfit. With his dark red sheath strapped to his hip. He was starting to look more like a Tzarian warrior. “I have another gift for you. Its from the Chief elder himself.” She pulled out a dark round metal shield, it had some weird markings on it. It might have been dragonian.
“Sam, I don’t know what these markings say, the Elder said you might be able to understand it.
“It says, to whoever can read this. This is your shield. The Dragon King.”
It must have been the King’s shield. It had to be, I had never met the man himself, but this proves that he is real. I always thought that he was just an old Okyrian legend. The shield is priceless, it was made with the finest black diamonds. It is impenetrable.
“Thanks, Liliana. Lets get started with our training.” The two walked outside the camp and headed towards the main grounds. Suddenly they here screaming and panic. The screams were coming from the market square. They start to rush there, with people yelling at them to run the other way. They spot The Hooded Man upon a nearby platform. He had new friends with him this time around. The Suffering was still with him, but the chained man was not to be seen. A man with no arms stood beside Lazarius. I had never seen this particular man before. The Hooded Man began to speak to the Chief Elder, “So we meet again Chief. Sorry, but I need more food and weapons. I am building an army of men. I want everything that you have now,” he demanded.
“I’m sorry, we have nothing to give. You have only just left us, we haven’t had time to recover what we lost,” the Elder pleaded.
“Thats to bad, The Cannibal will feed on everyone here until I get what I came for.” Now Sam was getting irritated and flustered, he ran towards the platform and jumped right next to The Hooded Man. The two of them stared at each other for what seemed like forever. “Ah, who do we have here. A young boy looking to DIE. Are you sure you want to meet Death so soon, you have a lot to live for,” he said while laughing.
“You killed my brother and took my home away from me, want that back.”
“Oh look, we have a runaway Okyrian boy with us on this fine day. You should have died for your land, I guess Tzaria will have to do.”
With the flick of his hand, he sent the boy flying back into the crowd with a wave of dark energy.
“Well, what will it be old man, give me what I asked for or pay direly.” “We have nothing to give, just leave us be.”
“Sorry, thats not going to work. Old friend will you do me the honors of killing this old fool.”
The creature replied with an evil, “With pleasure.” He opened his mouth, the vile creature had teeth that resembled little swords. With fresh blood stains covering most of them. He grabbed the Elder, not strong enough to defend himself, he gave in. After a brief collection of silence, you heard a loud crunch from crumbling bones. The Cannibal had began to devour the old man from head to toe. The pool of blood covered the creatures feet and soon began to spill over on the awed audience. The girl was becoming hysterical, she went to find Sam and try to run away. “AT LAST I FEED,” The monster yelled. He hopped down of the platform and began to grab more victims. The Hooded Man just stood there and laughed. The crowd began to run for their lives. With kids screaming and moms crying for mercy, it was a slaughter. The monster now had his eyes on an unconscious Sam. He was still knocked out from the dark energy that sent him flying. Liliana noticed that he was targeting Sam, she bolted towards him.
“You are mine now boy, I bet you’re tasty.”
“Stay away from him, the girl unsheathed both swords and gave the creature a hard swipe. “Ah, you little she-devil, you cut me. I don’t like when people touch me, let alone cut me with a sword.” She had begun to drag Sam away from the evil being, wanting to get away.
“Wake Up, Wake Up!” She yelled.
After a few seconds of screaming at the boy, he finally awoke amidst all the chaos. Liliana had lost The Cannibal in the shuffle, with Sam being conscious, they had began to run. They didn’t know where they were going, as long as they were alone. As they were running away they heard, “I’ll Find You Boy!” They had lost the pursuers and minions of The Hooded Man, they stopped and made camp.
“So what are we going to do Liliana?”
“I don’t know, all I know is that we are going get revenge for The Chief Elder. Lazarius has now destroyed my home, that doesn’t stand in Tzaria. The Man said he was building an army, we need to find help. Lucky for us, I know where to go to find exactly what we need.”
“So, whats the plan,” he asked with a intrigue.
“We must go to Greece, its really far away, but thats the only way we can raise an army. I hope you are ready Sam, because there is no looking back. I guess now we are partners. We will leave tomorrow at dawn.”
“I want to thank you Liliana, you saved my life back there. I hope I can return the favor someday.”
“Yea, lets hope we won’t ever see that day....”
