"Welcome to Planet Earth John, how was your trip up there?" Percy said after clapping in front of John's face to get his attention. "Wanna go out in the woods, maybe we can go through the trails and see one of those beast my dad was talking about, but we need to be extra careful" said Percy. 'That would be great I can check how my skeleton's are doing, I'm pretty sure they should be doing fine' though John. "Sure Percy let's go, I also have something show you, it is a surprise... You have to promise not tell anyone, no matter what!" said John with a smile knowing that Percy's curious nature was going to get the best out of him.
Percy was insisting to tell him what was the surprise, but John wasn't going to tell him. He knew better. The walk to exit through the town's exit, and the guard just stopped. "Boys, where do you think you are heading? It's dangerous out there and certainly not a place for kids! Go back to your parents!" Percy walked up to him and kicked the guard in the groin and started running toward the forest laughing. John quickly followed him, he certainly didn't want to be left behind! The guard that was in pain, yelled to the other guard that was standing there laughing as well "What the fuck are you standing there for? Go and get them!" The guard started sprinting towards them but quickly got tired because of the armor he was wearing was too heavy for that kind of exercise.
John and Percy were already far enough from the guards they stop to continue their laughter and catch their breath. It's not everyday that Percy decides to do stunts like this, but whenever he does they always have a lot of fun. "Percy poor guard you could have just sneaked past him and left, I could have probably handle it too. That was really funny though, I hope he doesn't hold a grudge from us and do anything to us when we come back" said John worried that the guard would retaliate against them. "John, why are you being a worrywart now, come on let's go! I want you to show me the surprise" said Percy with a great amount inquietude.
John and Percy entered the forest trail and walked for 5 minutes into the forest until John stopped walking. "Well Percy now that you are here, I can show you!" A staff suddenly appeared in John's hand surprising Percy. "Well Well, haven't John practiced his magic tricks. eh." said Percy with a smirk on his face. "Percy shut up! Let me fucking finish alright. Otherwise I won't show you the surprise!" John got irritated by Percy's interruption and Percy finally quieten down.
John summoned his flame started forming at the tip of his staff and began dancing around the tip. 'Let's practice a little, I want you destroy that tree over there' though as he showed his intention to the flame via flame communing and swung his staff. The flame flickered green and started flying and congealing into a blob and hitting the tree in front of and blasting some of the green fluid, covering most of the lower part of the trunks. The fluid started dissolving everything that was close by, plants, little critters and bugs that were crawling in the floor where the liquid was. The tree trunk began to dissolve and the tree began falling toward them due to gravity after a couple minutes.
John looked at Percy, just to find Percy in shocked with his mouth open! John was waving his hands in front of his eyes to get his attention. "Oh John what have you done, you have broken Percy! Oh well, it's a little disappointing missing your jaw falling" said John out loud.
After a couple of minutes Percy had come back to his senses and began asking a whole bunch of questions right behind the other. "Since when can you use magic? What kind of magic can you do? Can you teach me?" he wanted to know everything and it was driving John insane. 'Sadly if I wish I knew the answer of all the question that he is asking but I certainly don't' I think this was a mistake' John couldn't stop thinking. Percy had finally stopped asking questions and John was finally able to talk "Percy, I have only being a magic caster a couple of minutes before the earthquake began. The magic I can do right now is necromancy!" Percy's face distorted in fear.
'Necromancers always have the bad reputation of being evil and solitary spell caster that brings doom to those around them' John was thinking before acting out... "Percy why are you so afraid, you're my best friend and you will be with me... for all eternity!" and then began laughing evilly. Percy seeing his friend saying stuff like that quickly changed his mind, he knew John can't even kill a fly and quickly rebutted him. "You of all people an evil necromancer my ass, you're not scary at all!" and punch him. 'John a necromancer? I am a freaking demon lord' though Percy.
"If you don't believe me watch!" John said. He put a pile of bone dust in the floor and dropped a droplet of blood on the floor, he then took his tome out and began the incantation saying "renaitno crouy otni sihtm rofsnartd na, doiveht morf dellup si luos a." twice. A skeleton was formed quickly afterwards. "Do you believe me now, Percy?"
"John, are you gonna start killing people to make an army like most necromancers do?" asked Percy worried, knowing the truth... "Percy, you better than anyone should know that I am good person at heart! Right! So just continue trusting me like you have always have. I am still me!" said John trying to calm Percy down.
John started yelling "Skelly!! Ulna!!! where are you?" Percy please join me, I need my skeletons to come to me. Percy joined in calling those two unknown names.
"John did you hear that? Lower your voice for a second" Percy whispered. "What did you hear?" said John. "John I don't know yet, but let's stay quiet for a little while and see if we can hear it again" said Percy. The sound was getting louder, it was the sound of shrubs rustling closeby and small branches breaking the sound was getting closer and closer by the second. Until Ulna came out of the shrubbery freaking out Percy and John, "Oh hello, master did I startled you, who is this fleshbag beside of you? Is he a sacrifice, it's been a while since a had a taste of blood?" said Ulna excited. John on the other hand was glad that Percy couldn't understand anything that Ulna said.
"Ulna... where is everybody? are they alright? I have heard there are beast out there that attacked the town" said John worried just seeing Ulna by herself. "Oh them! follow me they're in the camp! I'll take you to them! As for enemies we haven't seen any yet..." said Ulna and started heading into the forest. While walking through the forest Ulna explained to John that the Forest had been quiet on that area, and the reason for that is their presence causes uneasiness!
