The Druid chp 14 I Go Home And Find A Horrible Welcome Committee

After I had learned water bending I and the water elf whose name I found was Steven became best friends. After about a week after I learned water bending Steven came to me while I was at my favorite restaurant the Hillka. We were exchanging gossips and flinging jokes generally just enjoying each other’s company. Soon I asked him why he had come here not that I was annoyed of course. “Ah yes” he replied “I wanted to know if it would be alright if you could take me to the lands were you came from in the first place”? “Why the sudden interest” I said feeling a little home sick all of a sudden. “I just want to know what it is like”. “Ok I will take you next week”.

Soon afterwards I was ready to go and so was Steven. We put our things in Grace Wing’s saddlebags. While I rode Grace Wing the water elf would swim in rivers and only when we would have to go across the Dark Lands would he ride with me then he would jump into one of the rivers and keep going. Its not like he had to he could stay above water for years however he said it still felt really good.

So unlike last time when it took but a few hours to get to Zeln it took us about four days to get back to my lands (I was quite annoyed). When I did get home however I stared not at the lush green lands that I remembered for instead I saw simply more of the horrible disembodied lands. We kept on flying for over a hour. Confused and not quite ready to believe what my eyes told me even though my eyes told me CRY CRY!! I kept flying forward but nothing came over the horizon.

“NO!” I cried “No this cannot be happening”. Steven who could sense what was happening patted me and took the reigns got in front of me and turned Grace Wing around even as I hit him half heartedly.

As we flew back to Zeln I looked across the bleak and terrible land below me. All of a sudden I saw an arrow whiz right past me not ten feet away. “Shoot” I thought. Then another whizzed past and another soon we were flying in a near sea of arrows. Taking out my staff I called upon the power of the earth to deflect the arrows in a nova burst of light. How ever no power came SHIT!! Was all I could say of course no power came to my staff we were in a land of dark shadows and no life came. I probably could have gotten around that but we were also very high up from the actual earth. So because of these to disadvantages I was unable to do anything.

I quickly told both Steven and Grace Wing about the situation. “Ok in that case give me your water flask” said Steven. “Fine time for a drink of water” I said a little happy that something had happened that could take my mind off of the troubles. as I gave it to him. He took the water flask then he drew all the water out of it and his own flask into the air then turned the water into ice after flattening then he put it under Grace Wing as a shield.

The volley of arrows didn’t cease to stop. However nothing penetrated the ice shield. We were flying safely for about twenty minutes before POW!! all of a sudden a giant red boulder came off of the ground shattered the shield and hit Grace Wing straight in the chest rendering her unconscious. We were falling (good thing I had my seat belt). We soon hit the ground with a horrible THUD!! Once we had landed I cut off my seatbelt with my sword I then started to sense for enemies near by and sure enough there were goblins. After about a minute and nothing happened I went over to Steven and saw that he was all right.

Nothing happened for about an hour then two hours three hours four five. Soon the sun had set and the moon was rising. Then about two hours after the moon had risen I saw something move around in some dead bushes NECTO!! I screamed and the bushes rose to full bloom alive and well then they started imploding crushing what ever was hiding them. A scream erupted through the dead forest. I smiled I had killed one of them.

After I had killed one of the goblins in the bushes I could here much yelling and arguing in the distance. “Time to run!” I screamed. So we started to run as fast as we could I kept my mind out side trying to detect if any one was on our tail. Sure enough I could feel about fifty little goblin feet after us so that meant there was twenty-five. Even though we had longer legs the goblins were running a little faster then us not only that but I could sense something big about a hundred yards ahead of us I don’t no what it was but I did know it was very big.

I told Steven what was ahead and he came to an immediate stop. “What ever is in front of us has to be worse then twenty five goblins so lets just fight them and get it over with. So there we were in front of a horde of goblins I had a crystal staff sword and lance and Steven had what little water that we had not lost and his sword. In just a few seconds they were upon us.

I killed the first one by making a root stick up tripping him and he cracked his skull on a rock. The second Steven killed by making two icicles and shoved them through the eye sockets. The third one got to me with a sword so I grabbed my sword and shoved it in front of me and since goblins don’t have very long arm reach he came running right into the blade. Then the rest I threw a bunch of seeds at them and they quickly grew into a plant called Bowa Vine coming up and crushing the rest of the goblins (like a
bowa constrictor).

After we killed the Goblins we went over to check on Grace Wing. She was fine just some cuts and bruises from the rough landing and as for the place were the boulder hit her there was no trace no blood no bruises nothing it was very wierd. “Okay” I said “before I go crazy lets face the facts. Fact number one we are deep within the shadow lands. Fact number two Grace Wing is out cold and there is no trace of the boulder”. Fact number three because Grace Wing is out cold we don’t have a way out of here.” “You forgot fact number four the Swarm obviously knows we are her”. “Thank you” “your welcome”. A few minutes later I said. “So what are we supposed to do about”? “I don’t know”.
