"Lets stay as quite as we can for now.... there's a lot of them and we aren't sure what the situation is." Grace notified us as she led the way following the tracks.
We all silently followed her as she led the way ahead of us. "Do you think it's safe?.." I whispered to Jay.
"I don't know..." Jay whispered back.
Slowly we made our way following the tracks, the sun began to set in the background making the forest feel even more eerie as it darkened. Suddenly grace stopped and turned around. "There's a small cave entrance up ahead...." She whispered notifying us. "Okay... so Helen, Daisy and I will go first we can see in the dark... Jay and Emilia watch our rear but stay close and remember.... to stay quite." She instructed us.
Slowly and silently we made our way into the cave, the darkness forcing me to keep my left hand on the wall beside me guiding me through the passage way. We crept for what felt like half an hour going down the passageway till we saw a faint light creep around a corner ever so slightly returning my visibility to me. Grace issued us to stop with an open palm facing the ground as she proceeded alone and slowly peeked around the corner.
She came back slowly to us again, "So.... I don't know exactly what is going on..... But I see three armed men..... Accompanied with two ogres..... And a bunch of tied of kids....and what seems to be a warp gate...." She explained to us.
"........ Do you think this is linked to the increased disappearance of kids lately?.." Jay asked.
"I think so... the children are tied up..." Grace replied.
"We need to save them!" Daisy whispered.
".... I know but there are two ogres there....." Grace said.
"Yeah.... ogres..... Are no joke..." Jay replied.
"We can't just stand by and let the children get taken away!" Daisy said.
"I know... but this is gonna get very dangerous..." Grace said.
"...... Normally I wouldn't try... but Paul's gear should help us a little..." Jay replied.
"Okay... so we are all gonna do this?..." Grace asked.
We all nodded.... with confidence. "Okay..... I can take one of the humans out, but I have no idea how we are gonna deal with the two ogres...." She said.
".......I'll try and keep one busy..." Daisy said.
"Okay then at all costs everyone try to avoid the other one.... Daisy don't you dare try and take both on at the same time." Grace said.
"Can't promise." She joked.
"I'm serious... Ogres can probably flatten us with one hit…." Grace said.
"Don't worry we will look out for each other." Helen said.
"So.... Once I take out the first guard..... Daisy you go and occupy the ogre on the left..... Helen, Emilia and Jay you guys focus on the other ogre try dropping something to stop it getting to us quickly.
We all nodded moving towards the corner pulling out our weapons. Grace carefully pulled out her arrow pulling back her bow letting loose an arrow followed with the sound so clanging metal and the sound of a body hitting the floor.
"WHAT THE F?" A manly voice yelled.
"Gogogo!!!" Grace instructed.
Emerging from the corner we all quickly shot our spells at the ogre on the right, Helen using grasping vines razor sharp vines entangled it cutting into its this skin. One man looked at us surprised at our appearance, "Quickly! Activate the gate!" he yelled at another person who was on the nearby computer.
Daisy quickly running out engaged the ogre on the left summoning both her spiritual weapons, with a yell she slammed her maul into his side causing ripples in its blubber. "Ha... puny human that tickled." It shouted to her. It raised its leg high trying to stomp on Daisy, her spiritual sword drove itself deep into its back causing it to roar in pain causing his stomp to miss.
"You missed me fatty." She shouted to it slamming her maul at its knee causing it to fall on one knee.
The ogre on the right ripping apart the vines Helen created made a run to us raising its giant club in the air slamming it down narrowly missing us, with a sweep it slammed me and Jay sending us rocketing into the wall knocking the wind out of us.
"F..... That hurt...." He muttered.
"Yup... that really hurt..." I mumbled my ribs takin the brunt of the impact, peeling myself from the wall I pointed my wand at the ogre's eye shooting off a firebolt at it causing it to stagger back a little in pain.
"DAISY we need your shield here!" Grace yelled, as Daisy's shield quickly flew towards us.
"QUICKLY!" open the portal!" The man in the distance shouted again and began trying to drag some children closer to the gate.
"HELP!" A young girl screamed trying to fight him despite having her leg and hands bound together.
"They are trying to get away!" I yelled to them.
"Yeah but we are a bit busy!" Grace and Helen yelled their movements surprisingly fast and agile dodging the Ogres large slow swings.
"You guys got this?!" Jay yelled grabbing me muttering something. Suddenly a blue doorway opened in front of us, pulling me with him we stepped through the doorway appearing between the two humans.
"What the...." One man shouted drawing his sword, before he could swing at Jay, he quickly shot out three white sparkling missiles impacting the man straight in the chest sending him flying into a wall.
"Get the other one" Jay instructed me.
Sending out several firebolts aimed at the man on the computer, he yelled in pain still trying to activate the warp gate.
"GET THE FK OVER HERE AND HELP US!" The human Jay was dealing with yelled.
I mercilessly pelted the one human at the computer with firebolts till his back was charred black the smell of burning flesh flooding the chamber till his body slumped on the computer motionless.
Turning around to assist Jay, a large hulking shadow eclipsed me as I saw a gigantic grotesque fat body charging into me. Before I could say anything it hit me lifting me off the ground momentarily till back felt the hard rock wall of the camber. I yelled in pain as the fat body of the ogre crushed me like a pancake into the walls of the chamber, I felt the bones in my body crack from the impact, as intense pain radiated throughout my body.
"EMILIA!" Jay's voice was almost inaudible as my whole body was wracked with intense pain.
My vision quickly began to go blurry as I can feel myself fading, as the fat body released me from the wall making me fall to the floor. It turned to a slim figure which I assume was Jay..... "Jay .... Watch... out...." I tried to shout unsure if anything came out.
The slim body was sent flying away as what I guess was its big club swatted him like a fly. My body paralyzed on the floor I began to try and feel around with my hands trying to find my wand. Another slim figure stood up and began to slowly walk towards me holding something grey in his hand.
"Finish them off...." He yelled out as he came to me.
"Good bye." he said plunging the grey thing in his hand into me. I yelled out in pain one last time till my eyes felt heavy and my vision went black.
