It was in the middle of the night the rain had stopped some hours ago and you could hear laughing and small talk coming from the middle of the town, it was from Kajus and the others.
The captain walked out of his tent with a solemn look with a glorious helmet on which he had not on before.
The helmet looked amazing, it had a silver look to it with a long plate hanging down from the sides covering the ears, the front had a nose guard and at the top it had a figure of a beastly falcon. The cape was no longer and it was substituted for a wooden shield with a metal casing, the shield looked enchanted as it had runes and the middle part of the shield which there was a lump of metal that had a slight shine to it, enforces the idea that it was enchanted. The spear he was holding had a weird proportion where the shaft wasn't that long about 40 cm but the blade was pretty long for a spear at about 20 cm, the edges looked sharp so it was probably also made with the ability to cut as well as poke. The spear as well was glowing a little bit and the shaft had runes.
The captain had the intention to go and kill the grey orc while everyone was sleeping and later revealing it when they were going to go to war but he was seen by the party sitting by the lit campfire.
"captain?! are you going to go kill the magic orc now?"
"Yes, I am headed to kill the grey orc" the captain said confidently with a kindness in his eyes.
The drunken trio stood up "We can help, we can act as a vanguard if things go south, please captain!" Aron said
Grinda got woken up by Kajus standing up, her sleepy eyes looking around.
"You four are drunk you can't help me even against a goblin" the captain chuckled
"Go to your tents and fall asleep knowing that the grey orc is no more when you wake up" The captain after saying these words smiled and started walking out of the town.
"Captain we can drink detox potions to get sober please let us come with otherwise if you get hurt or even worse kil-" Aron stopped himself from saying killed
"What I mean is I wouldn't be able to ever fall asleep with something like that on my conscience, knowing that I might have been able to do something."
Geoff ran into his tent falling down twice, he came back quickly with 3 potions.
He gave one to Aron and one to Kajus and drank on himself.
The captain watching his loyal subjects care so much about him, burst him into laughter.
"Alright the three of you can stand by the tree separating our borders to stand watch" the captain said smiling.
The four quickly got ready, Kajus grabbed his potion, sword and bow with the 2 new arrows and some regular ones. He didn't bring his glaive since he was still practising with it and he felt more confident bringing his sword.
They quickly gathered near the captain and headed east towards the orc encampment. They arrived at the tree.
The tree swayed in the wind making for a desolate scene, Kajus was panting. He was feeling distressed over the upcoming operation.
He looked over to the captain to see him confidentially stand there with a confident smile, his eyes calm and his hands softly gripping the spear.
The captain started to chant and a white light appeared high above him, the captain gave one last look over to his retainers and jumped high up into the air into the light. He disappeared.
A loud explosion was heard inside the orc encampment only seconds after the captain had disappeared, it was too blurry to make out what is happening but suddenly a white light was seen piercing even the eyes of Kajus who was almost 900meters away from the encampment .
----
The tree swayed in the wind making for a desolate scene, Kajus was panting.
He looked over to the captain to see him with a solemn look in his eyes and without the signature smile on his face, his hand was gripping his spear hard, making his hand white.
Kajus noticed that the necklace was shining and it looked magical.
The captain started to chant, a white light covered him and he started sprinting very fast towards the orc encampment. The captain was incredibly fast and he soon was 200 meters away from the encampment.
Kajus stood there shocked as he watched the running star shrinking away from him towards the orc encampment. Kajus felt a little sick to his stomach, he blamed his nerves.
The orcs screamed and fired arrows towards the captain, the arrow hitting only ground way behind the captain.
It was too far away to see exactly what was going on but Kajus saw the light leap towards the orcs mounted on the wall and later their heads flying away from their bodies.
The captain was no longer seen; he was inside the orc encampment, not a single sound was heard for minutes until a loud explosion was heard followed by a bright light that pierced even the eyes of Kajus who was 900 meters away.
----
The tree swayed in the wind making for a desolate scene, Kajus was panting.
He looked over to the captain to see him with a haggard look, he was short of breath and his armor was colored red with blood, the four reacted to this.
"captain! what happened?!"
Kajus was ill to his stomach he crouched down and saw that Grinda was already on the ground vomiting. Aron and Geoff ignored their illness and was more worried about their captain.
"It's an enemy spell!" Geoff blurted out.
The captain looked incredibly solemn with eyes dark and aloof, his jaw tense and his teeth grinding, he did not look like the captain they know.
"Stand down Geoff" The captain said in an annoyed tone while gulping a potion.
The potion was blue and it seemed to refresh the captain, he no longer looked as tense.
The captain took out another potion which even Kajus knew was a healing potion he drank it in one gulp and he started to glow red from the effects of the potion. All Kajus new from reading about it in school is that they are really rare and expensive.
"ill show that fucking mutt and I will make him grovel beneath my feet" The captain said shocking everyone around him.
'who is he talking about? the grey orc? Why is he so mad at the grey orc?' When he started to think about these things his stomach became worse and he started to salivate, he suddenly felt the whiff of vomit coming from Grinda and he quickly puked out his guts.
The captain calmed down and he laughed, he started to chant, a white pillar descended it was 20 meters long and about 5 meters in width, he picked it up and started to enchant again, this time a white light was seen above the pillar, again he started to enchant, he suddenly started glowing.
The captain was leaning on the pillar while shining as bright as a star. The light above the pillar started to become even brighter.
He threw the pillar into the bright light and it disappeared, at the same time the captain jumped in.
Feeling utterly confused as to what happened the second the captain disappeared Kajus looked towards the orc encampment.
