The brave heroes from Wodengrad, along with the Mapmaker and the strange wanderer called Calahan sailed into the night away from Kesmith, headed south. Calahan manned the wheel, while the others stood by the railing. Occasionally, Calahan would order someone to adjust the sails or man the oars. It turns out, the barge was more than what Maltha told them. It was a fully functional ship.

"I need someone to man the fighting top and be on the look out." said Calahan as he pointed to the top of the masthead where a small booth was perched. "Easy on the ladder, it can get slippery."

He seemed at ease ever since the encounter with Groenberg and company. His cloak fluttered with the breeze, his long unruly blue hair getting in his face, his posture upright but relaxed. He was in his element, commanding the ship. Some of the men noticed his expertise and began wondering what Calahan did before he became a Sentinel.

As Tyr walked away, Vince realised that if he said that and the others had heard him, they wouldn't trust him. And Vince earned no respect from Tyr after what he had said. "Hmph. I can show you that I'm good enough." Vince walked away toward the rest of the group surrounding the wounded Donar, eyeing Tyr, and then turning around to join in. "Is there anything I can do?"
Please join the town of Viarene, in the mountains region. Hope to see ya there!!!

Marcus was shocked by Calahan's sacrifice. But now he needed to regain himself, without a leader in this realm except the Mapmaker they needed some decisions made. But he had questions for the Mapmaker as well... he ran towards him and said, catching his breath, "Mapmaker, who is he that Calahan spoke of please."

PWNZED BY BREATH ATTACK!

The Mapmaker was down on his knees. He was panting for breath, gasping for air... for understanding.

"What... He... But, I don't know. I don't know who He is. But I think I... I think I know the name... Zarabek..."

The Mapmaker spoke brokenly, as if his mind was trying to reorganize itself. Ideas shifted, memories flooded, and an image of five stones entered his mind. An image of this Zarabek entered his mind, and an image of Exedor entered his mind...

The Mapmaker opened his eyes. He looked around, but he was not where he was supposed to be. The place he was in was hot, and red, and very colorful. It was burning, excruciating a horrible place, and the radiation from the heat made the air move in waves. Lava poured from nearby volcanoes, and rivers of liquid rock moved in tandem all around him. Among all other things, though, was the massive horde of creatures before him, collected on a hardened plain of lavarock.

The Mapmaker looked to the sky, and lifted his arms. Clouds parted, and an unholy light shot down upon him. He felt pain, and power, and a new mind of understanding. He turned, and upon a small cliff ahead of him, the man that was in the Colosseum, Zarabek, stood in robes of bright grey, a stark contrast to the reds and black of the land.

Zarabek held a strange golden device above his head, with the five different colored stones set into it. A colorful light shot forth from the artifact, and a portal opened up across the rock plain on the other side of the collected horde of daemons. The creatures started to enter the portal, clawing at the air, at each other, and screaming wildly, worse than a thousand banshees of the netherworld...


The image faded, but this time, it was an image that only the Mapmaker had seen. A lucid waking dream, it must've been. A foretelling of things to come? Was the Mapmaker a prophet? Had Zarabek actually been killed? He could not place the allusion either in the past, present, or future. It just was. He looked at Marcus.

"I- I saw something. Zarabek! And the Horde! coming from a place of hellish proportions! I- I was... was there! I think I tried to do something, to stop them, but... but I don't think it worked. I don't know if it was a prophecy, or a dream, or what."

The Mapmaker finally stood, and strode over to Donar with alacrity.

"We must make it to the city of Tyr. We must find the person that Maltha spoke of."

Jimmy nods.
"The mapmaker seems to be the only person besides Calahan, bless his soul, who nows what to do." He seems solemn as he speaks, his face averted from Calahans body; his eyes: teary. He sniffs a bit, and continues. "I mean, we've got to fight. You can't just let a sacrifice like that go unrewarded. Mr. Mapmaker, lead the way!"

Ben sheathed his sword inside his cloak. He walked limply, leaning on his quarterstaff as he had been too close to the explosion Calahan had created to save the others and had been knocked over hard.

He stared intently at the absent-minded Mapmaker. This man is the key to the survival of our realm? I pray Tyr will do more to open the locked doors of is mind and bring clarity to our situation again.

Ben smiled through his pain and spoke. "To Tyr then!"

"Right we still need food or we'll starve," said Marcus to himself although the people nearby could probably hear.

The ruptured arena saw a few gaping holes on the ground where the crucifix came out of. Donar was still bloody, but thanks to Marcus, he was only feeling the aftereffects of the torture he endured. He mourned for Calahan, and he grieved tremendously. But they had work to do.

"There, down there, there's a huge basement. That's where they tortured me, but it's a labyrinth down there. Dungeons and terrifying rooms." Donar pointed to the hole beneath the crucifix.

After dropping the seeds onto the ground, the tremendous stress in both mind and body overwhelmed Erille. He laid there unconscious for a brief period, but when a battle almost broke he came to, yet half awake. He could not muster enough strength to speak up, let alone stand and so he lay there whilst terrible things are happening around him.

He could see the crucified Donar, he was aggrieved. Donar was the first man to know his true being and gave him the benefit of the doubt, he did not judge the man that was before him but what was inside that man. He too could see Tyr, the man he was most afraid of amongst his companions yet he felt a strange closeness between them. Erille could feel the rage, the despair, and the bloodlust from Tyr. Feelings that he wore before and consumed him much like what its doing to Tyr now. He could also see his companions, some panic striken, come calm and reserved, but he knew all of them share a common purpose, to live and protect their most valuable.

Finally, he too could see Calahan. Majestic, commanding, gallant, a true leader. And then Calahan jumped to his doom, taking with him the villains that pose mortal danger. He gave up his life so that others may leave with theirs. He felt empty again, Calahan was the man that gave him purpose once more, the man that made him take up arms, not to take life, but to preserve it. He swore that he would not let another comrade fall because he's too weak to do a thing.

He lay there, staring blankly at the sky. Pearls went down from the sides of his eyes.

I've got a Ph.D in kicking your ass.

Long Fang wiped a single tear from his eye, looking once again at his companions. "Then what course of action do we take? We did stop here for supplies, we cannot forget that. Do we head straight for Tyr, or do we explore the underlying dungeon?"

Kaworu's eyes suddenly widened in anger and exertion, putting a good deal of spiritual power and physical strength into himself as he slammed his spear shaft vertically forward against Jeff's locked blade to send him back.

"And you would give your life for such a meaningless task? Delaying me will not halt my goals."

Yes, I fought Kaworu. And I lived.[RPGData:10005|9|28|56|3|3|482|222|Dragon Sword|Dragon Armor|Dwarf|40551|None|None|134|6|1|0|None|NaN|None|The Klu Klux Klan]

Donar shrugged. "We're here already, and we really need those supplies. Let's just go down and find whatever we can as soon as possible, then get out."

"I'm game for that. Lets head down. I'll go first." Vince quickly went down into the small crevice below the crucifix and crawled down into what Donar called the labyrinth. "Hm. Well I know its dark down here."

Hawk, shocked by all of the preceding anarchy, was numb to the world around him. As people talked and milled about, Hawk stood silent. Everyone else seemed like faint blurs, and soft whispers from a distant place.

He tried to take comfort in the earth, reaching out to it to ground him as a tree reaches its roots into the earth.

As he calmed himself in quiet reflection, he returned to consciousness. When hearing about the underground labyrith, Hawk did not hesitate.

"We must go down there. Eeven if we find no supplies, we may learn more about our enemy down there."

Without much question, Ben dropped into the hole.
