Chapter 7 - the passing of time

[four years later]

A woman walks down a hall pushing everyone out of her way. a look of deep anger on her face.

"Have you found that bastard yet?" A young looking cadet in a military uniform stands straight saluting her. "No ma'am we have not located the target yet we believe he is in a portal." She grabs her weapon at her waste tightly gripping until her hand bleeds.

"Find him that lowly servant is the only one who lived. he is the only one who knows what happened to my family." she scrunched her face as the cadet lowers his hand. " but ma'am isn't this a waste of resources? we still have the Demons and gods to be worried about. no offense but he is just a servant."

she walks up to him her face growing dark her hatred apparent. "just....a servant.." She pulls her blade out cutting the cadets head off.

she stands ober his body and spits on it a dark aura envelops her. " You filthy pig if he's just a servant how did he survive an attack Like that by two kings. know your place!!!"

She wipes her blade and tosses the rag on his body as blood pools under him. " I must find him..I have to know what happened."

she grabs her hair as she sits down. the dark aura amassing behind her into a two headed figure with six arms.

[???] Now now my dear you will have your fun. Remember you are a chosen one. chosen by the gods, this man is but a lowly servant of yours no need to bother with him."

the being rubs under her chin as both heads grin.

[???] Now it's time to find this anomaly.

The woman picks up a phone and dials a number. the phone rings twice and someone picks up with a sleepy voice.

[???] Hello urgh.. do you know what time it is asura?

The woman smirks a vein pulsing. " do you want to die hraesvalger? I am sending you on a mission. Find the boy named shin who survived the massacre at my families home. bring him to me alive..

Hraesvalger chuckles " Alive asura you know that's easier said then done. why not let me take an arm or 2?"

Asura laughs "if you must. he must be alive to answer my questions though." Hraesvalger chuckles

[Hraesvalger] These code names are so tedious captain. I will see it done send me the usual info captain.

[Asura] yeah yeah and I mean it. alive or it'll be you facing my wrath. got it tobo?"

[Hraesvalger-tobo nashim] Haha I understand lillianna rayle." he hangs up the phone.

Lilliannas aura shoots out black and deadly

" you must be alive stone for your crime. your crime of being weak shin. the crime of allowing your masters to be killed. you will join them soon." she holds her sword and walks out of the room shouting.

"Someone clean this prick up and get me a new secretary."

What is now the free city of ransa a man with short spiky hair walks into of a portal with a party in front of him. each one with considerably large aura. they walk through the portal and a field of fire and desolation appears before them. the leader turns to the others.

[???] Alright set up camp he pulls his sword out and stabs it in the ground its about the size of his body. this is the man who threw shin from the bar that night. not that he even recalls. I'm sure most of you know me. However we have new people today so I'll introduce myself. I am kale dreith the paladin and leader of the group. To the left is Keith Harley our assassin and scout. to the right is lex riviera she is our ranger. to those of you who are new these are the only names that you need to know. let's go the salamanders won't wait for long. set up a perimeter and be prepared for battle."

kale looks at shin scratching his head internally wondering where he's seen him before. he shrugs it off and grabs his gear setting up his tent. the portal closes soon after. and a voice echoes through the devastated land.

[???] mortals who have come meet your fate at the hands of my pets. if you survive maybe one will be worthy of I, the king of dragonoids bahamut.

Shin smirks tossing a dagger behind himself stabbing dragon kin in the forhead. the dagger puts a hole through it she'd rending its scales useless. as it falls out of sight only let noticed the slight movement of shin. she walks up to him.

[lex] hey porter what did you just throw?

Shin looks around then points to himself. " me?"

lex annoyed stomps her foot slightly pointing at shin.

"who else don't attract attention too early thus dungeon is hard and if we get bushes it'll be your fault." lex huffy then walks back to her tent which is just finished by the other porters.

shin scratches his cheek slightly. "Wow what a temper tantrum when you couldn't even notice it." Shin walks off to his tent and lays down. in the meantime Keith runs off weaving in between rocks and burned trees.

Keith's movements are nimble and he is letting off a Grey aura. suddenly he's grabbed by a reptilian hand dragging him into a den. Keith stabs at the dragonoid,, but his dagger breaks.

[keith] shit I have to warn kale. these guys are stronger than rumored. the many eyes in the den light up through the smoke as Keith escapes towards the camp. a sinister row of teeth shine through.

[Back at camp]

lex is sitting in her tent testing her bow when kale enters. she fires a shot and kale barely manages to move. the shot flies through the camp and destroys a Boulder. kale face goes white.

[kale] lex why are you so angry?

[lex] I don't know I feel uneasy about something I just can't figure it out. has Keith made it back yet? according to the information gathered by the envoys bahamut isn't this gods true name.

[kale] lex relax we will be able to survive. that's why your here. your special sense is top notch.

[lex] kale that's why I'm worried. My special sense, it isn't working. I can only guess at this, but either someone here is that much more powerful than me. or the God, demon or goddess of this dungeon. is that powerful.

kale goes pale again "lex which do you think it is?

[lex] the latter this portal may have evolved.
