Chereads / Down In Ohio / Chapter 3 - The Chosen

Chapter 3 - The Chosen

The Shadowfell monster then kills the two guards and is about to strike me down, when I stab it in the stomach with my dark blade. It cries out in pain and falls to the ground while trying to crawl away.

I take my sword and cut off its head.

Now I am alone, with only my sword of darkness.

Until a massive Shadowfell appears with a gigantic sword, Its aura is powerful, and I feel fear wash over me. I try to run away, but I cannot move. The Shadowfell holds me down. Its body is covered in thick red fur, with large bat wings on its back, and four long legs. It has a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and its eyes glow blue. The creature lets out a roar, and the ground shakes beneath me.

Its face is twisted into a smile, and I know that I am about to die.

I then fight it, and it slices my chest, I then contemplate why I came here. Suddenly, a masked warrior with a green katana slices the beast's head in half. As I lay there in shock I tell the masked man ''who are you''. He replies ''Isoko a member of the chosen''.

A new door has appeared on the eastern side of Ohio. The scientists have decided to test it out. They hope that it will lead to a dimension that is more peaceful than the previous one. Before they can finish their experiment, however, the scientists discover that the gate is open and is being attacked by Shadowfell.

The scientists decide to defend themselves and try to fight off the monsters. After less than 10 minutes of fighting, they managed to close the gate. However, they were unable to seal it completely. The scientists then realize that they have lost and that the Shadowfell will soon overrun the whole country.

So, they decided to send a message to the government. They wrote a letter that was sent through a special kind of post. The letter was put inside a box and then sealed with wax. All of the scientists were then transported into the box, and taken through a portal to the other dimension.

Once there, the scientists discovered that they were not alone. There was a group of warriors, who were also battling the Shadowfell. Those warriors were called the Chosen. The scientists watched them fight once and approached them.

After learning of the scientists' fate, the Chosen decided to join forces. Together, they were able to destroy a few of the Shadowfell. However, many more escaped back into the other dimension.

The breach in the eastern end of Ohio has been mainly sealed, however, there is a problem. The United States is now overrun with Shadowfell scattered across the states.

I tell Isoko '' how are you so skilled with the sword?'' He replies ''I trained hard for many years. Do you know how to fight?''. Yeah, but I have to admit you're way better than me at it. He nods in agreement. We continue to talk until we hear a loud roar coming from the west. We look up and notice a large creature. It's huge, and it looks like a lizard.

Isoko walks towards the monster. ''I'll be back.'' He runs toward the creature and slashes it with his sword. I follow him and slash the monster's tail. It screams in agony but continues to fight. I keep slashing it with my blade, and it finally falls to the ground.

''You should train with the chosen'' says Isoko. ''They'll teach you how to fight''. I think to myself ''yeah, maybe I should do that''.
