The City Of The Damned
Snow was falling heavily in the town of Bowerstone for it was winter and a harsh winter it was. Akron slowly lifted his head of the pillow and looked out the window, he saw the streets covered in white the people shuffling about in thick coats and scarfs. “Will” he said “Will get up, its time to go”. A long groan answered Akron “Do we have to the sun isn’t up yet” “that’s because its covered by hundreds of clouds”. Will rose up and then said “bloody hell why is it so cold?” “Because we are in a low standard pub in the slums of Bowerstone Will and it is snowing”. “Snowing?” “Aye Snowing”. The Hero’s got dressed and went downstairs. The strong smell of fresh beer greeted them. Alfie the bar tender said, “good mornin lads, beer, breakfast? Will was about to say something when but he was cut off “No thank you Alfie me and Will need to get going” “ok then lads see you soon”. The Hero’s walked out into the cold snow. “Its Not so bad when you get used to it” Will said with a smile on his face. “Aye so do we have everything?” “Swords, potions, map, money aye its all here” “good let us go then. The Cullis gate was gleaming with magical energy the Hero’s took a step in “To Oakvale” Akron said clearly, the men were shot through a blue tunnel of stars and black holes then they arrived at Oakvale and the Hero’s walked up the hill and across the Bridge and stopped outside the first house. This was the Legendary Hero’s house the man who stopped Jack Of Blades at the Chamber Of Fate and then finally destroyed Jack by casting the mask into the lava behind the Bronze Gate. Akron said, “This is it, get ready to meet a real legend Will”. They walked in and there was the Hero, Liberator a giant with long white hair. The Hero’s noticed the Solus Great sword mounted on the wall and next to that was Archons armour, shining brilliantly made out of the last platinum troll thousands of years ago. Liberator spoke in a kind old voice “Welcome friends! What brings you to me?” his face bore a huge welcoming smile and deep blue eyes the two Hero’s felt at ease. “Sir” Akron began “We are here to ask you about Necropolis and the experience you had there”. Will added, “Aye sir is you please” Liberator took a set and the two Hero’s followed. “Necropolis.. It is an evil place; damned ghosts walk those streets that don’t even know they are dead. It chilled me to listen to there echoing slow voices talking to me as if thought they were alive and breathing. I answered none of them and do you know why? ”. “Why?” said Will deeply engrossed in the story. “Because I was digging up there graves searching for bits of stone and I was afraid of angering them. The city is full of graves I think some Ghosts realize I saw them, gazing at graves which bore their names aye it is a terrible place I hope I never have to go there again”. Akron and Will were lost for words and the Hero said, “Why do you want to know this?” Akron spoke “ Because, lord we wish to journey to Necropolis and learn of its past and maybe acquire some artifacts and gold. Liberator said, “Well good luck to you, the place is infested with things I don’t like to think about. “Such as?” Akron said, “ Ice trolls, Hoare Skeletons, Snow Bavalerines”. “Anything else?” Will exclaimed. “I saw nothing else but I can t imagine what Horrors lurk within the crypts, mausoleums, houses and the other parts of the city”. Thank you for your time my lord, Akron said. “No problem so you are going?” “Aye we are” “Well good luck do come back if you get anything of interest, my Avo be with you” “Thank you, you to”. The Hero knew the men would not becoming back and slowly closed his door with sadness on his face. “I think It would be wise to get silver augmentations for our weapons” “Aye me to, we will buy some at the village of Snowspire”. The Hero’s stepped off the Cullis gate platform at Snowspire the cold smacked them in the face. “Skorms teeth!” Will shouted. It was a blizzard, Snow flying everywhere “There! An inn run inside quick!” They rushed in and the door slammed behind them. “Ye be lucky boys!” Said an old man “I was just locking up when I saw ye out side” “Thank you sir, can you tell us when the blizzard well pass?” “Pretty soon I reckon they usually don’t last long” “Ok can we have some drinks?” “Sure you can boys take a set”. Will had taken a nap laid back on his chair. He was awoken when Akron taped him “ok it has passed, time to buy the silver and leave”. Will got up and took one last swig of beer. “Goodbye” said the bartender Akron said “goodbye and thank you” he threw 10 gold crowns to the man. The weapons store was across the street they walked in. A tall man awaited them dozens of weapons hung on his walls, “what can I do for you?” we need you to augment our weapons “what kind of augmentation?” “Silver” “Right. Lets see what you have, two crossbows, two Long swords, 5 knifes ok sirs this will cost you 80 gold crowns. “80?!” Will proclaimed “it’s a good price and you wont find anyone better than me” Akron laid out the money “yes ok do it” a smile spread across the mans face and he began to augment the weapons. “But!” Will protested “Its worth it you will see” “aye..i hope your right”. “There you go all ready” thank you sir we will be going now “please come back anytime” “don’t bet on it” Will muttered under his breath. The hero’s walked across the foothills and got the see the great gate, which lead to Necropolis. Then a sudden rush of movement was heard the hero’s drew their blades then 3 white bloody forms burst from the bushes and tress “Balvarines!” Akron yelled “aim for the heads!” the first leaped towards Will and he held his sword forward the Balvarine went head first into, it died instantly blood and bone flew In all directions, the other two went for Akron, he put his had up and muttered some words and the two Balvarines where hit in their faces with balls of light they dropped, blinded and in panic Akron ran into the gap between them and spun his sword, two heads flew threw through the air and rolled down a hill the bodies dropped and convulsed for a few seconds then stopped. Will let out a roar “arghh!! At lasts a bit of action great way to start!” Akron answered “aye! But we were lucky they were only few. Ok let’s press on Necropolis awaits”.
