"God pains me, the more I see the life, who wants to see? God told me, I've already got the life, oh I say..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the newly aquired sword in hand, Gohan swung with all of his might at the ravaging leader of the Goblins. The legendary sword pierced through the rough exterior of the shell and sliced the Goblins insides. The battle was finally over, as Gohan fell to the ground in pain. His side hurt from the kick a while back, and his arms were truely sore from releasing the lunker of a sword from the rocky tomb it rested in. The Z-Sword, the sword of Legends, was finaly in his posession, and he just needed to train with it to release its true power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"You are truely worthy of the sword, you deserve to keep it." the dastardly Goblin admitted; sinking to one knee, and lowering his head. The battle had lasted over 30 minutes with the Goblin Leader, with his whole fleet of minions at his constant watch, as if he was proving his strength to them all. "Please leave us now before we decide to take the sword back." The Goblin raved. It was time to leave here, and head for the town of Rimmington.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gohan picked up the sword once more, and turned back to the path. As people walked by this slightly limping figure, they held back their pains. Gohan had a gash in his left knee that was still pouring blood. It was a wound from a poison tipped spear; A gift from one of the goblins. He needed to see the Witch of rumors to get the antidote for this new kind of poison. He was feeling the pain every step he took, as if the gods were testing his strength. The intense heat of the day was not making things any easier for the wandering teen. It was like millions of invisible arrows raining on his every pore on his body, clearly making the wounds on his back all the much more painful. Walking up to a gate to the magnificent town of Falador Gohan heard the laughter of children playing in the trees where a magnificant Yew stood. Reaching the gate and entering the town, Gohan sat on a stump of a tree and rested his feet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"You need some bandages kid." A Guard called out at him, pointing to a path in front of Gohans fading view. He was truely exausted. Picking up his pack, Gohan set on the trail, curving around a mysterious castle surrounded by a moat. He passed by a Gem shop, and a couple local homes on his path, and reached the Town bank. It was an overly crowded building with lace curtains over the windows. Yelling over the already loud customers were the kind Bank Tellers and Bank Keppers. The line would die down, so Gohan set off to find any water. Directly outside of the bank was the fountain of youth, to Gohan atleast; Pouring liquid energy and free for the taking. An empty vial could be seen in the rocks by the fountain, and Gohan reached for it, wiping it on his shirt, and then filling it. He took about 2 vial fulls of water into his dry mouth, feeling rejuvinated after every drop. With newly aquired strength, Gohan filled a vial for the road, and stuck it in his back pocket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After rummaging around the town, Gohan could start feeling the effects of the poison kicking in. He needed to get to the Town of Rimmington, and fast. The quickest route was to head south and cut through the woods. Doing so, Gohan would have to evade countless monsters and enemies, but it was only a short walk from the south gates. Gohan started to jog, feeling his knee pierce his nerves with a most unpleasing pain with every step. The poison was running its course through the body of the youth, ploting to take the life of everything in its way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Making his way out of the gate, Gohan saw his first foe, a raging Highwayman taking the life of a poor soul, probably only 8 years of age on the withered body. Gohan rushed away from the trees, and got on the path where the kid was struggling for his life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Wake up, you are in caring arms." Gohan wispered in the fading body. Deeming it neccesary, Gohan pulled out the vial of water, and a small mithiral laced bag from his pack. He pulled out a tiny bean, with mystical healing powers, his last one in Gohans posession. He placed the bean in the kids mouth and helped him chew, giving the water to the youth. After about 2 minutes of the scene, the kid started coughing and regained controll of his body. Reering up in an upright position, he glared at his savior.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"What happened? Where am I?" The kid said in a low voice, with a cough following afterwards. "My leg, it is healed, did you heal me? Where is that man who attacked me?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Calm down, too many questions. Just relax, you are fine now." Gohan said, feeling through his pack for any food he might have. He found an uncooked piece of meat in a piece of paper wraping, and gave it to the boy. "Take this to one of the Guards back in Town and ask them to cook it for you. Eat it and you should feel fine afterwards."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Thank you mister!" The boy said rising to his feet. He gave one last look at Gohan, and ran back to Falador. Gohan needed to get to Rimmington, and get dinner for the night to come. Staggering along, he made it back into the deep woods to get to his destination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finaly reaching the town of Rimmington, Gohan veered past the pit of rocks and dashed for the central courtyard. Hidden back from reality was a musky building, darkened by the shadows of larger buildings. Opening the door, a large Cauldron was the first thing to catch Gohans attention. In the shadows of the room lurked a mysterious Witch, calling his attention with her eerie presence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"If it is desired, you shall aquire it." The Witch mumbled, as if a spiritual message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I am poisoned, and I need help, please can you conjure up a potion to treat it? I am not rich, I am merely a beginning warrior of my class. I can't pay, but I need your help." Gohan ranted, the poison making him weary of his thoughts. The witch let out the laugh of a Tyrant and began searching through one of the books piled on her table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I can make your potion, Weary Wanderer, I just require a few ingredients for this potion, and you can have it free of charge." The Witch tore out a page from the book and handed it to Gohan, a list of ingredients needed. "All I need is the four items starred on the sheet, and the potion is yours."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I will get your ingredients, and I thank you." Gohan, still in the doorway of the room, started off to find the ingredients. He needs red berries, an onion, a piece of rat meat, and a rat's tail. An easy task for Gohan, only if he was not so paralyzed by the pain in his leg, and the rushing poison in his veins. Gohan found a patch of red berries outside the town, and an onion just a bit farther north. It lurked in front of a large building, high and wide. Sword fighting could be heard from the inside, and Gohan walked up to open the door. Locked, of course, but one warrior slipped a key through one of the bars. He did not say anything, he just had a smile on his face when Gohan opened the door. He walked him in, and then went back to fighting. There were giant, tailless rats in the building, with doors all around. The carcases of rats were piling up by the warriors, and the meat was still fresh. Gohan picked up some for the Witch, and some for himself. He almost left it behind, but he found what looked like a key, painted red, in one of the piles of bones. Withought making a sound, Gohan snatched the key and headed back outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All he needed now was a tail of a rat, wherever that might be. He decided not to get too far off the path, and headed back for Rimmington. He found a rat scurring around the outside of a small house. Gohan hirried inside to find four more of these rats, and he slammed the door not wanting to let any escape from his wrath. Unsheathing the legendary sword, Gohan swung at the first one that moved, succesfuly killing the rat nearest his left. The Killing of the rat was easy, but with the extreme weight of the Z Sword, it gave Gohan an extra boost of strength. Apparently training on these common rats would raise his strength and make him stronger, but he would do that after he got the potion made. Gohan picked the rats tail off the dead carcas, and stormed back to the Witch's house to make the potion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once back, Gohan could get a clearer look inside the house, brick walls and a musty red carpet underneath a large cauldron. It was indeed a real fixer upper, but Gohan did not mind it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I have everything, can you make the potion now?" Gohan said holding the four items in front of the witch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"First we need to burn this meat, so we shall place it on the fire. I will take these, and you can sit in the chair next to you while you wait." The Witch began grabbing ingredients from a shelf over the large table, and started mixing a toxic stew inside the cauldron. Nearly in a minute the meat was charred to perfection, something Gohan could do when he was trying to eat. At last the potion was finished, and the Witch poured some of it into a vial and gave it to him. "This is what you desired, you shall have it." The Witch said walking back into her corner, motioning for the door with her hand. "If you need my services again, I will be here."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gohan nodded greatfuly and took a sip of the potion. He started to feel better as he finished off the vial. Gohan opened his mouth to say something, but the Witch nodded and walked into another room, leaving Gohan be. Feeling alive again, Gohan also felt stronger than before. With one final look, Gohan exited the house, and left the town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once reaching the forest, Gohan had to improvise his sword for an axe, and he hacked away at a tree, retrieving wood as a reward. Also improvising, he conjured up a flame with two rocks and started a fire with the wood. He pulled out the delicate meat, ripping off a large piece for the nights meal. Carefuly placing it on the fire, he managed to cook the meat with ought burning it. He ate with a smile on his face, and fell asleep, weary of his pains of stress and exaustion, to awaken as a stronger and happier warrior.
