At 3 am, a group of friends were playing the Ouija board. They bickered as they asked the Ouija board silly questions. They all observed to see it move on its own. A quiet, ominous portal started to expand slowly beneath the Ouija board. While this was happening, the group continued to chatter.
"Do you think Pota would want to poop in my mouth?" asked Jaimie. The board spelled out no.
"Jaimie. Why. This why we shouldn't allow lunatics in our friend group," Pota chimed in.
"I thought it would be a good question." Jaimie continued to ask
questions to the Ouija board.
The floor started to tremble as a purple light shined below. A brightly lit purple portal was swirling under the Ouija board.
"Bro this is reminding me of Minecraft. What the fuck is this though?" Diego scooted away from the portal, his foot dangled in the portal.
"DIEGO!" Everyone exclaimed.
The powerful suction sucked him in. They looked warily at the portal, the suction was getting stronger and started to pull them towards it. Jaimie tried putting their claw toenails on the floor to resist the force but was soon pulled in with a broken toenail.
Fae started to crawl away, gripping the hardwood floor. He heard a yelp behind him, feeling a tug on his leg.
"Pota are you seriously dragging me into this!?" Fae screamed, he was horrified out of his mind seeing pota trying to drag him down.
"I don't wanna go in by myself! Im scared shi- AA" Pota explained, but was dragged into the portal.
The portal slowly shrunk and disappeared leaving an eerie feeling in the room where a friend group used to be.
. . . .
Meanwhile in Puppies Pub...
A giant purple portal dropped the group onto a hunter's table. The table broke as jugs of beer spilled onto the ground. Pota, Jaimie, Diego, and Fae all landed on each other. Groaning and moaning because of the pain, the people who previously occupied the table jumped up and unsheathed their weapons, pointing at the group. Everyone in the puppies' pub had their attention on the foreign group that broke the table, and the tension was increasing. Before anything else transpired, a mysterious man disarmed the hunters and sat on Fae's back.
"How interesting… I never expected the prophecy was true.." the mysterious man continue to murmur under his breath. The hunters started to lose their patience, "Esteemed sir, those people disrupted our meals and teleported out of nowhere. Can we take them somewhere to uh have them compensate us?" One of the hunters with a rough beard and strong physique asked.
The mysterious man threw a bag of coins to them, and their weapons he then shooed them with his hand, "I have business with these people. Go do something with your life." He hopped off Fae's back while watching the group of hunters leave. The lively atmosphere of Puppies Pub turned back to normal like nothing ever happened. Jaimie wiggled out of being sandwiched with Diego and pota. Glancing at her foot, she screamed, "NO MY TOENAIL, ITS BROKEN." she grabbed her foot and started to inspect her toenail, a tear was about to form. The rest of them got up, stretched their back, and looked around their surroundings.
"Jaimie your toenail should be the least of your concerns. The real question is where are we?" Fae looked at Jaimie rubbing her toe in disgust, looking around everything seemed like it came out of a medieval world. There were wooden chairs and tables, barrels filled with alcohol, and people bolstered with laughter at different tables. The dishes they served made it seem like they were back in medieval times.
"Woah, are we in a game.." awed at the sight, Diego gasped. The mysterious man appeared before the group, he had a cloak on his head, and you couldn't see his face no matter how much you squinted. His attire seemed very grim reaper type, which stuck out to the group. "You guys must be very confused right now," the Mysterious man snapped, and the broken table fixed itself "But I need you guys to sign this parchment." He handed 4 parchments and something to write with to them. On the title it said "Save the princess," and under those bold words, there was a line where they had to sign their name.
"How come I can read these random squiggles. I never seen this language before?" Pota asked the mysterious man.
He simply stood in silence and didn't say anything. Pota felt goosebumps thinking he was such a weird man. While the rest of them were reading it, Jaimie already signed the parchment and handed it back to the mysterious man.
"Jaimie, why did you sign it?! We don't even know where we are. What if you signed your soul away?" Pota interrogated Jaimie.
"It said free food.. On the bottom of the paper.." Jaimie said in a low voice. When they looked closer, tiny words were saying there was free food as long they signed it. Diego already being sold to the offer signed it. Pota and Fae seeing the rest of them sign it sighed and signed their name as well. The mysterious man threw some shoes at Jaimie since he was tired of seeing her pick at her toenail.
There was a carriage outside of Puppies Pub, the mysterious man gestured for them to get inside. The carriage ride was long. They saw all sorts of buildings that gave off a very ancient feeling traveling throughout the streets. The carriage then stopped at a royal palace. Exiting the carriage and entering through the huge gates, they saw big mansions that were built with marble and other fancy material, the gardens around them were adorned with pretty flowers and big fountains.
"We made it." The mysterious man said to them. He then led them through the courtyard and to the palace where the king stayed. After dropping them off inside, the king was sitting on his throne menacingly. The silence was long, as the 4 of them stood before the king opened his mouth Jaimie blurted out, "Wheres the food you guys promised? It was there in contract don't tell me we got scammed." Feeling her tummy rumble, her face was pitiful to look at. Pota punched the shit out of Jaimie's arm.
"Shut the fuck up. Look where we at. That old man can probably get someone to kill us."
The king felt an invisible arrow stab at his heart. 'Old man? I'm only 42' he thought. Clearing his throat, he announced their objective. "Firstly, I'm only 42 years old," he heard Jaimie snicker in the back hearing that information, "Secondly, you guys were brought here to save my daughter, who is the princess. A couple months ago, a black dragon wreaked havoc on my kingdom and took my daughter with them. I've sent many expeditions of adventurers, but they all came back dead or severely wounded, which is why I had mages summon you 4 to save my daughter. The man who brought you to my castle is one of the esteemed ma ges who summoned you. He will bring you to the vault where you pick your weapons and armor to assist you in your journey."
And this is when the extraordinary tale of the legendary heroes unfolds..
