Chapter 6 - Running for my Life I

"What are you doing... in my garden!!!" Allen turned to see a drooling orge staring back at him. "N..., nothing. I was leaving." He stood up and started walking until he heard a crunch. Allen slowly lifted his leg and saw he had stepped on a golden-colored flower. "You stepped on my only Dreamweave Orchid." "Sorry," Allen said as he started walking backward until he heard another crunch. "My sycamore!!! I paid 200 hundred power stones for that. I'm going to kill you," the orge growled as he charged towards Allen. Allen took to his heels. He kept running till he remembered something he saw in Orphenius' book. He turned, stretched his hand towards the orge, closed his eyes, and shouted, "Ignis Inspiratione." After not feeling dead for about five seconds but rather hearing screams, Allen slowly opened his eyes to see a streak of fire leaving and latching onto the orge who was being cooked alive. Allen was scared and started flipping through the book to look for a water spell.

"I want a water spell." Immediately the words left his mouth, the book started flipping itself till it reached a specific page. "Aqua Amnis," he said and water began to flow from his hand. He pointed his hand towards the orge and shouted the spell. "Aqua Amnis." But he was too late. The orge had become black. The orge slowly rose and walked towards Allen. "You come to my garden, destroy my flowers, and light me on fire...?" "I'm..., I'm sorry," Allen said as he cowardly turned to run away. "NEVER COME BACK...!!!" The orge screamed as Allen ran deep into the forest.

Allen kept running not looking back until the sky started showing signs of darkness. Allen kept running till he got to a crossroad with four paths.

Pointing to the east was a sign with 'Orcsis, 12km'. The sign with 'Black waters, 5km ' pointed to the west. The south which was the direction Allen came from was labeled 'Death Valley, 10km.' The sign pointing to the north was labeled 'SHSM, 658km'

Allen looked at the choices laid out in front of him. "So I'm not going back there, so Death Valley is out." "Orcsis and Black Waters sound scary so that's also out." "But SHSM is too far..., but it's better than nothing," he said as walked in the direction the sign pointed.

After walking for what seemed like five hours Allen reached another crossroad. "Ignis," he said as his hand to the sign.

'Orcsis, 15km' 'Black waters, 7km' 'Death Valley, 68km' 'SHSM, 600 km ' He was about to continue walking when he heard a cute growl. He turned his hand towards the direction of the sound. The bush rustled and out popped a lynx-like cub.

"Aww... little guy..., where's your...," 'Boom, boom!' Allen turned to see a lynx the size of an adult rhinoceros with saber-toothed fangs. "Mommy." Allen felt a liquid trickle down his leg. "ROAR!!!" Allen took to his heels and the beast followed in pursuit. Allen kept running until he tripped and fell. The beast slowly walked towards him intimidating him. Allen pointed his hand and shouted the fire spell, lighting it on fire. The animal turned and ran back to where it came from.

"THANK GOD!!!" Allen screamed. "Boom, boom!!" "Not again." "RAAAAAAR!!!" A giant lion-tiger, hippo-sized beast appeared in front of him. Allen felt a warm solid-like material come out of his rear end. He started backing away when he heard another growl behind him. He turned to see the lynx beast. He was now concerned. He was trapped. Both beasts slowly closed in on him but abruptly stopped and looked up. The sun slowly rose and both beasts started to cower and run back to where they came from. "You better run." "So these animals are afraid of the sun." Allen looked ahead and saw another crossroad in the distance. "SHSM better be friendly or I'm Minecraft rage quit myself," he said as he walked towards the sign.
