George stood there in fear of Skai. Alyssa says, "Skai can you try to unfreeze the lake?". Skai puts both of his hands down, at his sides. The ice goes back up into his hands, except for two small blocks, which were under each foot.
"Holy shit.", says Alyssa, "How did you do that?".
Skai begins to walk and before every step a block of ice forms under his feet, "I just made the ice go back into my hands."
"Wait, does that mean you can make an ice staircase leading down to the city?", asks Alyssa.
"Maybe. Why?", asks Skai.
"So we don't have to learn water magic.", says Alyssa.
"But I want to learn water magic and learn how to control this ability.", says Skai.
"Yeah and I want to learn magic too. We will need it in the future.", quickly says George.
"Then just make a staircase so I can walk down!", yells Alyssa.
"Ok I'll try.", says Skai quietly.
Alyssa walks over to grab her bag, sits down, sighs, and then grabs her bag. She walks back over, "Ok lets go.". Skai creates a staircase out of ice Alyssa walks down the stairs.
"Hurry it up, I can't keep this up much longer!", yells Skai.
Alyssa runs down the staircase, opens the heavy stone doors and then the staircase gives out, Alyssa quickly closes the door behind her. Alyssa stops, looks around at the stone houses, restaurants, and business. All of them were lit up with torches. The city was in a dark cave but with the lights it made the city visible. Alyssa stood in a street which stretched all the way down to the end of the city, where it ran into the capital. The capital was shaped like a castle keep and above the round wood door was a wood sign which said Witch's Well. Alyssa starts walking down the road as she passes by a place named Oasis Casino. Alyssa sighs and then says, "Man I do need a drink.". Alyssa walks in and sees dozens of torches hanging on the wall to keep the Casino dim but not dark. A bar table is right in front of the door. To the left of the table are tons of booths which have a dealer stationed at each. Every booth is full except for one in the back corner which has one person sitting at it.
"Can I get an ale?", asks Alyssa.
"That'll be three silver pieces, but if you give me five I'll give you an ale and a three silver piece betting card. Now that is a deal, don't you think?", asks the bartender.
"Yeah that's good deal.", Alyssa looks through her pockets for a gold coin, which she finds one and then sighs. She hands the coin over to the bartender and waits for her ale. Once she gets it she walks over to the table in the back corner and sits down.
"Ah, now you have a new friend.", says the dealer to the man sitting down.
"I don't need friends.", says the man.
"You are going to need friends if you are hunting down an Osmund.", says the dealer
"Oh you're hunting down an Osmund.", Alyssa takes a sip of her ale, "That is a hard task. What is the reason?"
"The reason is because he was my slave.", said the man.
Alyssa's eyes shot open, she begins to slide her sword out of the sheath, "I am sorry sir but you are hunting someone I have promised to protect. I will have to take you down!"
"Ma'am there is no fighting in the restaurant.", says the dealer.
"What are you going to do about it?", asks Alyssa.
"I am not going to do anything but he is.", says the dealer as he and all of the other dealers turn into to black dust. The dust moves back behind the bar where there is a hatch open. From behind the bar appears a man dressed in all black with a gold crown on his head. The man was around ten feet tall.
"Death.", says Alyssa under her breath.
"I'll meet you on the sea, brave warrior but for now I'm out of here, my name is Captain Duggan.", pauses Duggan as he begins to run out of the casino with almost everyone else on that floor, "If you didn't hear that from George already". There was still a man in the other corner sitting, with glowing gold eyes and no left leg, he was smiling while sipping ale.
"Alyssa?!", says Death.
"Death?"
"You've hurt me, you know that, right?", Death pauses, pulls up a chair and sits in it, "I thought that you loved me. I thought that at least you were someone who wouldn't abandon me. When I found out you did that hurt, it hurt a lot."
"You are the only one I love and I was going to go back to you after I quit. Then Zala gave me a last job. To keep an Osmund safe and that is what I am doing now."
"You know the punishment Alyssa, right?"
"Yes I do and I will gladly die in your arms."
"I will not kill you as long as you complete your job. You know I won't hurt you."
The man with glowing gold eyes in the corner sips the rest of his ale and then slams his wood cup onto the table. The table shatters, it catches Death and Alyssa's attention. The man begins to slowly grow a shiny leg made out of gold. Death drops to the ground and grovels.
"I. . . I didn't know you were staying here or I would have prepared my keep for you.", says Death as his voice trembles.
The man stands up and walks over to Death, "It is ok you were an ex comrade of mine. Stand up, I just wanted to talk."
Death stands up and towers over the man, while his voice is still trembling he says, "I am sorry I heard you were still at the bank. I am so. . .so sorry."
"Relax." says the man as puts his hands on Death's shoulders. He then pushes Death into the stone floor. The floor shatters and a small crater is made. Then the man says, "That's better I forgot how tall you were, Maximus Pluto."
"Who is that, Max? I thought only thirteen people knew your real name?", says Alyssa.
"That is an old comrade, General Goldton Osmund of Branch Two of the Human Rebellion against elves. We are considered the strongest group of knights ever."
"Yeah yeah buy why we need to talk is because I heard my grandchild is here."
"Yes there is an Osmund here but I don't know where."
"And you didn't tell me?"
"Well. . .I thought that you would be too busy.", says Death as his voice is still trembling.
"Didn't you say the only thing you love is that girl?", says Goldton.
"Yes . . . I did."
"Well until you hand me my grandson I'll keep her as a gold statue here in your casino.", says Goldton as he walks towards Alyssa.
"No, don't touch her!", yells Death as he tries to grab Goldton but is stuck.
Goldton walks up Alyssa as she has her sword ready.
"Funny little girl. Do you think you can beat the god of this world?", says Goldton with his hands out.
Alyssa swings her sword at him and Goldton blocks it with his elbow. He shatters the sword. Alyssa swings a punch. He blocks it. Then he grabs her forearm. Coming from Goldton's hand is a gold coating which begins to cover Alyssa.
"No! You bastard! Let me go! Fight like a man!", yells Death.
Goldton walks over to Death after Alyssa is completely covered in gold. He stomps on the floor, shattering all of the floor. Death stands up and swings a punch at Goldton. Goldton grabs Death's hand and throws him to the ground. The blow starts destroying the whole building. Goldton walks out of the building and flies off. Death flips from his back onto his stomach and crawls to the gold covered Alyssa.
"I swear I will reverse this, Alyssa.", says Death as he grabs her and tries to lift her up onto his back. He struggles to stand up, but then he walks out as the rest of the building falls down.
