Top- I guess that would be OK.
Chapter 8
Tahu struggled to sit up, but the energy cage held him fast, and he eventually gave up. “What’s all this about? Why am I trapped?” he asked. “Should we answer it?” someone asked. “I don’t see how it would hurt” another voice stated. “Where am I?” Tahu asked. “In the temple knight castle” the voice replied.
“What happened? The last thing I remember is being attacked by autoers in the wilderness, and then I was waking up here.”
“You aren’t an autoer?”
“No, I’m not!!”
“Well, you were apparently used by the autoers to raid the castle.”
“I’m not an autoer!”
“I didn’t say that you were. We think that you were taken over by the autoers.”
“Taken over!? How?”
“We don’t fully understand it, but all autoers have something affecting their brain, similar to the “Sea Slugs”. The only thing that can damage that “thing” is the “report” spell. Usually it destroys all mental processes, killing the autoer, but in your case, it seemed to disengage it from you.”
“Report? Isn’t that like really dangerous?”
“No, it isn’t. However, it can be unpredictable. It will sometimes miss an obvious target, it will sometimes do nothing if it hits, but it will also go through any defense and kill an autoer instantly. Our research indicates that it can only be used by honest people, as it will backfire on a dishonest person…”
“I wish I would have known that….”
The conversation was interrupted by another horrible-sounding noise from Daran. Quickly, the person, which Tahu now recognized as the head of the lunar mages in the temple knight castle, spun around and adjusted a control on the foot of Daran’s cot.
“What happened?” Daran asked, as the magic field around him disappeared.
“You were ambushed by an unknown type of Autoer. Considering the amount of damage it did to our castle, you’re lucky to be alive.”
Tahu tried to hear more of the conversation, but he began to feel extremely sleepy. Just as he passed out he heard a strange voice state “Your attempt to resist us is futile. You will die.”
Daran just suddenly collapsed, and vanished in a flash of purple light.
Jessy 777777 was the only one of the three who was able to recognize the teleport spell.
It was a tele-other, but of a very uncommon type, and very powerful.
She quickly tried to cast a counter spell, but that used up the last of her energy. She passed out, and was quickly by teleported away.
Daran awoke suddenly. He wasn’t sure where he was, and he couldn’t see his surroundings very well. As his eyes adjusted to the blinding, orangesh-red light flooding the area, he saw four other figures. One was the mage he had rescued, three of them he couldn’t recognize. “Where am I?” Daran demanded. “In another plane…” One of the figures stated.
“How did I get here?” Daran interrupted.
“I brought all of you here…”
“Why?” Daran interrupted again.
“I will tell you, if you stop interrupting me every five seconds”
“Ok”
“You are probably aware of the “autoers” as you call them….”
“I’m supposed to be on a mission to stop them”
“They have flooded into the lands of Gielinor, and, despite the best efforts of many people, they now make up over half the population. Inside of two weeks, they will begin a takeover of Gielinor.”Statistics: Posted by sm12905 — October 13th, 2007, 2:58 pm
