Jaiden’s (Jay-dens) Tome – ENTRY 6 & 7

Haacker barter a deal with the mage and said that we would help him kill them if he help us killed Lung. We followed the mage and he used his staff to scan the local town. The tip of the staff changed colored as he moved. The mage used his staff as some kind of locater for tracking down demons.

We arrived at a home and Haacker kicked open up the door. We enter and a voice called out to the mage greeting him. I saw another cousin that was the one that called out to the mage. The one dressed in robes flipped thirty feet down and stood before the dwarf.

The cousin tried to slide down the banister and almost fell and broke his neck. The cousin called the other one piccon and then said that Haacker needed a muzzle. Upon closer inspection the other was a cousin. I wonder why it is that the cousins always have a problem with Haacker is.

We continued on and Nate changed into an elderly man. This startled the others and they were concerned. After all it is not every day that you see shape shifter change shapes.

We traveled deeper into the house and came to a wine cellar that had gems. Haacker destroyed one and freed an imprison soul. We then collected all the gems and destroyed them all to free all the souls.

While we did that we came across a false wall that led further down. We went down the spiral staircase which took us a half hour to reach the bottom. Once down there we saw magnificent painting that depicted and glorified evil creatures.

We could hear music around us as someone was playing the piano. We saw three doors that were identical except one had a residue of green slime that layered the door and carpet.

The  listen to the door and said he heard talking. So he asked us to prepare for battle when he alerts them to our presence in an attempt to lure them out. The door open and eyes appeared in the slide door. It was then that the  spoke and the creature behind the door said something.

Haacker then kicked the door and the creature closed the lid. Haacker kicked again and the door came crashing down. Haacker stepped forward and was attacked from both sides when he entered in. I followed behind Haacker but could not get in because he and a wolf, that appeared from out of no where, blocked the door.

I tried to jump in but I could not because the door was blocked. Another demon jumped out and engulfed us in darkness. I felt sheer pain pierce my back as a demon had attacked me from the rear. I hate demons. I engaged him for some times as others around me also fought. I heard Haacker coming from behind telling me that he would fight it in honorable combat. It was too late I had the bloodlust in me that creature would die by my own blade.

When the battle was over both Haacker and I were injured. Everyone else was fine and wanted to move on. I suggested we rest but my request was ignored. So we continued on deeper into the darkness of this labyrinth.

[—]

I was still in pain from our last encounter but we pushed on. The vile creatures retreated in to further darkness. We pursued them but lost them. Instead we came across a huge door. The shape shifters Nate put his ear to the door and listen and said he heard talking on the other side. He then climb up above the door and waited.

Haacker tried to bash the door down but it proved too great for him. So instead he chopped it to pieces with his might axe. He entered while I remained snug up against the wall on the outside. The sorcerers summon hounds and sent them charging forth. I heard a screech noise shout they are attacking. Then I heard Haacker call out for the sorcerer to call his beast.

All remain silent for some time as curiosity got the better of me. I took a quick peep inside and saw the huge vulture type creature conversing with Haacker. I was again curious as to whether or not this was the same creature that I fought a few days ago. The sorcerer entered through the doors and then called out for Exades Dre. I looked at Exades Dre who returned the glance back at me. It was an unspoken agreement that we were not going to go in their foolishly.

Lothar was the next to go in and see what was transpiring. It was then that the shape shifter asked me what was going on. I told him there were now three of those vulture birds that we fought before near the medusa lair. I heard one of the creatures say go home and then Lothar came running out.

I knew then that combat had begun. I lifted up my sword and pleaded with Ceplar to give me divine power to strike down my enemies. My body had become charged with holy energy. I then rushed in and saw the shape shifter attacking one of the vultures. Since it was the closes one I went to aid him. Lothar followed behind me and assisted me. The creature turned its attention to me and lunged forward at me. Try as I might I could not stop him from placing me in a bear hug.

I struggled with him and even with my enhanced strength he was still stronger than I was. We tussled and Lothar tried to aide me again but was smacked by the creature. The creature then slowly dragged me to the edge overlooking the murky water. It was then I felt the heat and the pain, my mind flashed back to when I had took the box from the wizard and he tossed a ball of fire at me.

My body was failing me I was badly wounded and now the creature had my arms pinned. The last thing I remember was my body being cooled off by the murky water and being pummeled by the creature until I lost conciseness.

When I awoke I saw Exades Dre blasting one of those vile demons creatures. The sorcerer was there as well waking up from the ordeal. Exades Dre told us that he was holding out until we awaken so that we could plot our next move. I wanted to know what happened to the others. But he had no answers; it was then that I realized that we really did not know what we were getting ourselves in to.

I suggested that we go back to the inn that we camped in before and rest a day to tend to our wounds. I was in so much pain, but the pain was good because it reminded me that I was alive. I can only hope and pray that the others have also survived the ordeal. When morning arrives I shall attempt to contact my brothers of trees. I can only hope the others can survive until then.
