Kingdom Neveah

"no! I"m Tried Of You Thinking You Know Everything And Thinking Your The Almighty Just, Because The Goddess Said You Were The Leader!!! Well Sorry To Burst Your Bubble!!! But You Aren"t And I"m Willing To Bet The Whole Entire World On It!!! And I"m Sorry That Were Acting All Childish To You!!! I Didn"t Know We Had To Act All Perfect Like You!!!"

 

Jacob quickly turned back around at the sound of Joey's voice. "Sorry princess. Maybe we can talk another time." he said, sprinting off towards Gerik and Joey. Jacob grabbed Joey by the arm and held him. "Hey man! What is your problem?!" Jacob asked, looking over between him and Gerik.

 

Gerik just laughed from Joey's little rant. "When you're done, we're going. Just hurry up. Unless of course you want Lucious to win. Then by all means, stay right where you are." Gerik started walking down towards the ruins.

 

"THIS GUY RIGHT HERE!!! THIS KNOW IT ALL GUY RIGHT HERE!!! ALSO I'M OUTTA HERE!!! I'M GOING AND GETTING MY POTIONS WEHTER OR NOT ANY WANTS TO COME!!! AFTER THAT I'M GOING BACK TO THE CASTLE AND DOING WHAT I'M SUPPOSE TO BE DOING!!! GUARDING THE QUEEN AND KING!!! SO I'LL SEE YOU LATER PRINCESS AND HOPEFULLY YOU JACOB, BUT NOT GERIK THE KNOW IT ALL!!! and with those last words Joey got on a horse with Arek on Rex and took off back towards Nevah.

 

"Joey, wait!" Jacob cried out, but Joey kept riding. "Damnit!" Jacob shouted, holding his head in his hands. I can't believe this is happening. he thought, cursing himself for all the luck they were having. "Well, good going Gerik. Now we just lost one of our members." he commented sarcastically.

 

"He'll be back." Gerik said, not turning around. "We're bound by fate. No matter what, we can't get separated. Go follow him if you want. Or come in the ruins. The sooner we're done here, the better."

 

Jacob stood there, then slowly turned to where Gerik was. "Look here. I don't think Joey's manner of telling you this was the right way, so let me try. You may be a bigshot where ever you came from. But here, you're just like us. You're no different from me, Aleta, or Joey. So why don't you lighten up, okay? In this group, everyone is the same. No one is better then the other. If you can't see that, then we're going to fail in saving Neveah. And I won't be here when that happens." Jacob pretended to tip a hat off to Gerik. "I hope you do well in this quest. But you will not succeed if you act the way you do."

Taking a deep breath, Jacob turned to Aleta. "Look princess, I'm out of here. I have to find my father. If he's been trapped by Lucious, then I have no choice but to leave. I bid you farewell." He started walking down the pathway.

 

It took Joey about an hour to get to the closet town, that wasn't destroyed by the darkness yet. Joey bought a lot of potions and a couple of treats for Arek and Rex who earned them for all they have done. Joey then started riding towards Nevah when he thought, what am I suppose to tell the king and queen that I let their daughter go running off when a couple of strangers that and that she is a chosen hero by the goddess herself and that their suppose to stop the darkness that is taking over the land! well I croos that bridge when I get there

 

Jacob climbed over the ridge, wiping sweat of his brow. He looked back down at where what remained of the group. He saw Aleta beside Gerik, her red hair giving away her position. I really hope she will be okay. But I just wish she wouldn't put her life on the line. Jacob looked down at the path, then back at Aleta. Sighing, he turned and started down the pathway, heading for the nearest town.

 

"I'm sorry to say, but she was raped nemoreous times then fed to a giant lizard................................... Na! I'm just messing with ya!!! I rather talk to the King and Queen about that, considering their going to want to talk to me about my death sentencing after I tell them about their daughter" Joey grew nervous of knowing what was going to happen to him, he still didn't know how he was going to tell them about their daughter.

 

"I know how the King feels for losing a loved one. But if the Queen is really dead, I don't know if telling him about his daughter is the greatest idea known to man. I know the King doesn't love me, but we don't need more than one dead person within the last couple days. I think I'll wait until his return to talk to him. But if you wish I will go talk to the King, but I'll be ending up in the grave."

 

"Now there is a smart man, Maev." chuckled a voice from the shadows. A lone man walked up to Joey and Maev, he was one of the men that followed Jacob's father. "See, the king sent me out here to make sure he wasn't interrupted out there in the graveyard. Now weren't you a little busy with something else other than running out here bothering this man?" he said, rasing an eyebrown.

Maev looked scared suddenly. She backed off, giving Joey a look as if she wanted to tell him something but she couldn't. She looked back at the man "...Y... yes you're right James how thoughtless of me." she said. James laughed at the woman's reaction "Just run along and the 'king' doesn't have to know." he said, motioning back toward the castle. Maev shot Joey one last glance, looking worried and unsure before she ran off back toward the castle. James looked back at Joey "Y' know it's a lot easier to find all of you so called heros when you aren't running off all over the place." he said sarcasticly.

Warren knelt before the grave of his wife, where he had been non moving for nearly two days now. He knew that Lucious was still there, standing as still as a stone angel his shadow looming over Warren's rigid body. When Warren finally spoke his voice was cracked, broken. "What are you still doing here. You've taken everything from me... just like you wanted." the look in his eyes turned to fury "WHAT THE HELL DO I HAVE LEFT FOR YOU TO DESTROY!!!!?" the memory of Clara's terror and pain filled scream as Warren could do nothing but watch as Lucious stabbed his dagger through the back of her neck. He remembered watching her fall and running to her side but being stopped by some strange magic. He remembered trying to kill Lucious with his sword, stabbing him through the heart only to have Lucious fall to the ground but then stand his eyes glowing a deep crimson and his laugh... the laugh that could only belong to a demon from hell. Lucious couldn't die- he was stuck in life until his task was complete.

Lucious laughed, interrupting Warren's thoughts "Well I figured it would be quite obvious old friend. I want your death."

Warren turned to face Lucious "Then get it over with." he spat.

Lucious only shook his head "No, not with this pride I still see within you. I want you to be begging for me to kill you. I want you on your knees before me so that all in your little kingdom will know that you their great king of light failed them. That you are nothing." he chuckled darkly.

Warren's face twisted with hate as he kicked Lucious where it counts "You've got a long time to wait around then." he said angrily before he began to walk away.

Lucious only laughed as he watched his friend leave "But that is... there are still two things you do have that I can take away from you in the same act." he said thoughtfully. Warren stopped and turned around to look at Lucious suspiciously. But before he could say anything Lucious grinned "I will see you again Warren. Until then, just remember your kingdom is being closely watched. I have associates everywhere even within your own castle. Dont try anything." he dissapeared.

Warren screamed in rage and threw his sword at Lucious but he was already gone the sword stuck into the headstone behind where Lucious once stood. He didn't care if it would have killed him or not, this hate was too great for him to keep in control. Warren just stood there, breathing heavily with rage as he stared at his sword protruding out of the headstone in the shape of an angel.

Someone laughed at Jacob but there was no one to be seen "You know if you keep staring at her like that one might get the wrong impression." Jacob's father appeared in Jacob's path. "But maybe I"m just a sucker for that sort of thing." he said sarcasticly.

 

"A few things." Gerik answered. "An ancient treasure. And anything showing us how to get to Lucious's base. The treasure is one of the last of it's kind. It is a special type of armor. Extremely valuable... And extremely useful."

 

"Have you've ever stared death straight in the eyes? because your about too, because you have just sealed your fate. I have traveled around the world, I have cheated death numerous times, I have defeated enemies of all times, but I'll give you one chance to walk away before I break my foot off in your a**." the just stood there motionless, Joey took that as if he was backing off and started walking into the castle.
