Sorry for any grammar mistakes that you may find, after reading a bit of it I realized how many I had made.
chapter seven: What was not meant to happen
I cant believe how good this stew is! Kentis exclaimed. He was enjoying the time they spent at the herbalists home.
It is good. Jay agreed She is a master of herbs after all. it had been three days seance they found Silvia and Jay felt that they should have left long ago but his friends didn't agree, they liked it at the herbalists cabin. Its time for you to go. Triss said as she walked towards them. You still have a long road ahead of you and I hope I have given you some strength. At that moment there was a knock at her door. Silvia's face grew worried. No, there not suppose to be here till tomorrow. A look of alarm appeared on Jays face. Who's at the door?!
Men from the clan of shadow. Silvia said worriedly There will be at least twenty of them you must leave now! Why are they here? Tyran asked, anger in his voice. And if you knew they were coming why didn't you warn us? they come every month and ask for potions. If I don't give them what they want they'll burn down the forest. so why didn't you tell us they were coming? Cfett asked in a level tone. because if I did you would have left as soon as I told you and would have been no better then you were when you found me here. the knocking got louder as they talked until Jay decided it was time to go. we have to leave right now! he said do you have a back door Silvia? of cores I do, follow me. as they went to the back of the cabin they herd the front door brake and and footsteps coming turds them. go!
Silvia yelled as she threw the door open. but what about you? Kentis asked. ill be fine. she said as she turned and ran into her house. as they ran into the woods Jays hart stopped. In front of them were twenty men standing right there in the woods. They were surrounded. i knew this was going to happen. Jay muttered. give up your surrounded. the man that seemed to be the leader said stepping forward. over my dead body! Tyran said stepping forward with Cfett have it your way. the man said as two archers stepped forward and shot there arrows state into Tyran and cfett's chests. no! Jay yelled but there was nothing he could do, not without reviling that he was a mage. Tyran and Cfett's dropped to the ground motionless. The men tied Jay and Kentis with ropes and started leading them threw the forest, leaving the body's of Tyran and Cfett on the forest floor. Jay whispered to Kentis as they were led threw the forest, Kentis whatever you do don't say my name.Jay said trying not to cry at the loss of there friends. Kentis seemed confused why? he asked quietly. because they think I'm dead, and if they find out who I am they will kill me. what should I call you then? Kentis asked. Jay thought for a moment. call me sparrow. he said, quite fond of his choice. OK Sparrow, but next time don't choose a bird name, its kind of lame if you always choose the name of a bird.
Silvia got up, her head throbbing from the bleeding gash on the side of her head, right over her left ear. Everything was dark, her candles has gone out and it was dusk outside. All of the sudden she had a thought did Jay and his friends make it out alive? She ran out her back door and started looking for sines of a battle of anything that might indicate that they were caught. After awhile she herd gowning from the forest and ran to the source of the noise.
When she found it she gasped. She saw Tyran and Cfett laying unmoving on the ground, arrows still in there chests. Tyran was the one gowning she noticed and she grabbed him first, dragging him back to her home. She knew she could save him if the clan of shadow didn't take all of her supplies when they came.
She was running back to get Cfett when she started getting dizzy again. She noticed the gash on her head was still bleeding and she wound need to get a bandage on it soon. She found Cfett and was dragging him back when she heard him speak. they took Jay and Kentis he said weakly. don't talk, reserve your strength. when she got him back she started looking at there wounds. ill have to cut there shirts off. she said to herself with a grin. She had grown quite found of Tyran in the three days she had spent with him. She looked around her wrecked home and found a knife and cut off there shirts. She gasped at what she saw. An arrow was sticking out of his chest just below his heart.
You are a lucky boy. She mutters to herself, A little higher and you would be dead.
chapter nine: its a long rode in captivity
Jay and Kentis had been walking, walking for so long. It had been two days after they had gotten captured. Jay tripped in the mud and almost fell face first into it, luckily Kentis caught him and they continued walking. It had started raining the day after they had been captured and hadn't stopped in the two days they had been walking. It seemed to be making fun of them for being captured. They were tied side by side by a thick rope, now wet from the rain. There captures would pull on the rope every so often and try to trip them but rarely succeeded.
They were walking east from what Jay could figure. They had left the woodland they had been walking threw one day after they were cough and had been walking on a dirt rode threw moorland full of hills and dead long grass.
Well it had been a dirt rode, the days of rain had turned it into a thick mud and Jay and Kentis were always slipping in it. There captors pulling on the rope weren't helping ether.
They eventually stopped because they captures decided to rest after two days a marching, how they did this Jay didn't know. They tied Jay and Kentis together and left them ten or so feet from there camp with a guard watching them from the camp. They were far enough away from the camp they they could talk without being overheard.
Jay... about the battle that got us lost, there was a man running turds you and you had no time to cast a spell. Kentis started.
Kentis, this is not the time, and I told you to call me sparrow. Jay cut in.
Ok then. Sparrow, you had a dagger, a glowing red dagger.
I said this is not the time! Jay snapped.
Do you or do you not have one of the legendary dragon weapons? Kentis blurted.
Jay sighed. Yes I do, it was a gift to me from long ago. Not even Brom knows about it.
One of the guards hears them talking and walked over grinning. Having a nice chat are we. He asked smugly.
O yes, a lovely chat. Kentis answered in a sarcastic voice.
Well I have something for you. He said and threw a lump of bread in front of them. It looked moldy and damp.
Are we suppose to eat that? Kentis ask sounding horrified.
Ehh iv had worse. Jay muttered.
The guard pulled out a fresh looking chunk of bread and some cheese. He held it under his noes and inhaled its aroma. Ooooooh he groaned. It smells soooo wonderful. he said and took a bite. Kentis thought he smelled smoke, pine smoke as the guard grinned at them was walked away.
Well he wasn't very nice. Kentis commented
He wasn't very smart ether. Jay said with a smirk.
What do you mean? Kentis asked, looking around.
Jay pulled out a chunk of bread and some cheese from behind him.
How did you get that?! Kentis exclaimed.
Did you happen to smell pine smoke when he was walking away? Jay asked giving some food to Kentis.
I did. he admitted, I didn't think much of it.
Has it been that long seance you lost your ability to use magic? Jay sighed.
That's the sent of your energy inst it, pine smoke. Kentis said in a hushed voice, looking around to make sure a guard wasn't close.
That was extremely risky sparrow. If the guard knew what to look for he would have known you were a mage.
Well the rain is stopping finally, lets get some sleep.
Kentis finished the bread and cheese Jay had stolen and laid back.
The grass was still dripping wet and he was freezing but at least he had a decent meal. It seemed like hours to them as they tried to fall asleep but final they drifted into sleep.
Chapter ten: a serch
I hate using portals. Soro groaned as she stepped threw one after Brom.
I cant say I like them much ether. Brom agreed.
They were in the ruins of a village long deserted. She could see houses crumbling and rotting. Everything in the village was covered in moss and plants. The village itself was surrounded by a large looking forest full of tall pines that seemed to touch the sky. Looking up at them made Soro dizzy so she turned her attention elsewhere.
Is this the village were Jay was born? Soro asked Brom as she looked around.
That it is. Brom replied
So you think that he made a portal here?
Its my best guess, tho he might not have come here in the village.
I'll look around in the surrounding forest. Soro said heading for the trees.
Don't be gone long. Brom shouted after her.
As she entered the trees she immediately felt cold. It was dark in the forest and it felt damp. She wondered how anyone could want to like in a place like this, you couldn't see ten feet in front of you in here.
She shivered.
I better get moving. she said to herself.
The first thing she noticed was the smell. It was horrible!
Ugh! It smells like something died around here. She muttered to herself.
She kept walking and the smell kept getting stronger and stronger as she walked until it was almost unbearable, then she saw it. About ten feet in front of her she saw a huge furry shape on the ground that the smell seemed to be coming from. She walked up to it and almost threw up at what she saw. It was a huge bear, it had been shot in the forehead with an arrow.
This is the work of Kentis if I ever saw it! She said to herself
she started looking around for any singes of the lost friends and found the remains of a fire and the rewind of a makeshift tent. She also found dried blood and trampled grass, like someone was sleeping there with a wound.
Brom! she yelled.
Within minutes Brom was there.
What is it?! Brom cried.
I found there camp. she said calmly
Well you could have said that instead of giving me a heart attack.
Soro showed Brom the remained of the camp and the dried blood she had found and, at the request of Brom, showed him the dead bear. She didn't like going near the huge smelly bear so she just pointed to were it lay dead.
After Brom had a look around he returned to Soro.
They went north. he said They left about three days ago.
Soro groaned that means five days of hard running are in store for us.
Brom let himself have one of his rare smiles
Yep, we better get going. But don't worry, chances are they aren't still walking and they made a more permanent camp somewhere. Then a worried look came over his face.
What is it? Soro said sounding a bit alarmed.
Its nothing. Brom said. Lets get going.
As they were walking Brom was thinking. what if shes still here? If Jay finds out who she is... or if she finds out who he is... Brom put the thought out of him mind. What are the chances shes still living here anyway.
apparently he was muttering to himself because Soro started asking questions.
Who do you thinks living here Brom? she asked
Brom silently cursed. Its nothing. he said quickly. Just someone who I knew at one time.
Soro looked like she wanted to ask more but Brom shot her a I don't want to answer your questions look. She had never seen Brom look like that and she shrank away. What about this place is making Brom like this. She thought as they walked threw the trees.
