The New Strangers

In a dark cave, a large cavern is lit up by a few torches. A solitary figure shuffles around the long shadows that the torches give off. The man has shallow loose fitting skin with eyes so clouded over that you must wonder if the poor bloke can see. His clothes are in rags, tattered and thread bear, and his hair matted. You feel a little sorry for the poor guy; no one knew when they buried him that a necromancer would use him as a puppet. There were many organizations that made it their job to save the souls and bodies from magic wielders that would use their dark magic’s to play with the corpses of others.

This corpse’s 2nd life was ended by a dwarf with a sword. “Man, why can't Necro leave these poor bodies to rest.” The Dwarf said exasperatedly. This dwarf was in full battle armor and wielded a nice sized sword. All you could see of the dwarf’s face was shiny eyes and a thick black beard. “Well, my friend it not just the body that they messing with, it the souls. And they are breaking the world balance, “a tall half elf said ending the life of a second corpse. You couldn’t tell in the armor that he had such a slender build then normal human. He has long brown hair and piercing gray eyes that give him a great advantage over most. Over the chainmail armor, he wears a robe, with the Orange hand reaching up with point energy coming out each finger. Connect to aura around the hand. He follows Seishin, the goddess of the Sprit the one who welcome or help sprit find there place. “Yes, we know your view point on this Gray. We have worked together for a good long time and I think all agree with you that this is not acceptable. Besides we can all see what is going on.” This was said by the third person in this party, an average looking human wielding an Great Axe, with armor obstructing his muddy brown hair and blue eyes. His armor looks identical to that of the dwarf as if there were wearing some uniform, they even had the same symbol blazed on it. It’s a 6 chains connected together with a two path going horizonal crossing by two more path going vertical. In the distance of the large cavern, beyond the torchlight, you see four figures emerging from a tunnel entrance. These zombies look to be out of the ground longer than the previous corpses they sliced through.

“Be careful guys, they have a different amount energy than other guys,” Grey said pointed to the decapitated corpse. “We got this,” Said a youthful man in full plate armor. Bright Blue blond hair hidden by his helmet. ”Divine Light Slash” he screamed as his sword sliced through the closest zombie. His sword was still shining a slight yellow hue when he when to slice at the next zombie. By the time brought his sword down again into the third zombie, the party had joined the battle, using their shield to bash and block the zombies for getting to the new recruit.

He breathing little hard from that. “well kid nice one” said Dwarf. “Thanks sir Brock” said The Young Knight “Calvin if you keep that up your going to burn out your energy then you will become a liability” said elf “sorry Professor Gray” said Calvin “go easy on the kid he only trying to help” said human “Zack if go easy on him he never le” before Gray could finish they hear a loud sound walking this way they start to see a giant figure come from far always. Walk in what only be a several body parts put together into into a giant mess zombie. “how do we take that on” said Calvin “well it made up of body part so taking out head will not work but maby are caption has Idea what to do” said Gray As a lady in half Plate male with sword and shield in hand with light. Brown hair wave dark brown eyes runny to up to them. “sorry it took little longer than I thought with that group of zombie” said caption. All at once said at once no problem mam “well what unnatural thank has the Necro done to these poor souls. well I guess this will be a good learn experience for Calvin just stay here and watch how to take apart a chimera Zombie” As she run up raising her shield as big swing down on her dust fly up “we should go help her” said Calvin “she does need help boy” said Zack “ya that lady can give worrier Clains a run for their money” said Brock with a sound of amusement “yes she your Superior just watch” said Gray as dust left and she her on one need with her shield holding the giant zombie big hand held up with it. “Holy Burst” s bright lime energy burst out of her knocking zombies back. as it lose it footing she goes at zombie right side slice right leg. Making zombie falls down on that knee but swing down his right fist she push it out of the way with a shield. Then jumping up and take out the shoulder. The arm falls off breaking into many parts. The goes left Knee as she falling seeing it making the zombie fall face Forward. Hit the ground hard she jumps on his back. Run to his neck swing her sword to behead him. “Now that over Gray can you blessed body so it does get back up.” Said the caption “right way Branwen” said Gray as Gray more forward the nights go pass Calvin “pick up your mouth boy and help out we don’t lot time it already starting to regenerate” said Zack. Gray makes a circle with some runic symbol, As everyone start putting body part it the circle. Once all the pieces are in gray does a chant bright light filled the room and the zombie just stops and break apart into it regular parts. “Let movie out,” said Branwen they all start going straight through the door where the zombie was blocking. Down hallway into an opening in front of them is A man in Brown robe with purple texture on it. With dark brown aura around is hand. “ stop right there you are under arrest by the kingdom of Harmony for the unholy arts” The aura from hand leave and he slowly turns around know seeing short black hair dark brown eye. “All that cute Harmony decided to help me with my work,” said man as said that everyone got into a battle stance. Gripping their weapon lower their stance. Watching hands and body very close. “it look like you beat my best creation so I will not resist just to die so take me in,” said man as put his hand up. Branwen sheaths her sword and pull out some shalckered that had engravings on it. Put hand behind the prisoner and put a shackle on him. “Alright everyone let's head back to home,” said Branwen “ yes ma

In a very larger kingdom that is built in to mage built mountain. With lager city surrounding it out ward. They turn over the prisoner to guards at gate. Then head to the barracks. Within the barracks there are group young people line up with their mentor in front of them saying “today You will be getting real swords” as the world came out his mouth everyone seem to be in happier mood “ know make sure you grab the handle, not the tip of blade that all need is for one of you children to state your own hand” said the trainer “one of student said like that going to happen” as said Branwen team walk pass them and turn the corn as you “ pick those jaw up and your swords” then loud yell came from there as Branwen team enter office “reporting in to their leader” Branwen said. In the room there a wooden desk a couple chair. With lot paperwork on it but in very neat order on the wall, there are maps of the town and the world. Sitting behind a desk in a young-looking elf with bottom plate male with a nice shirt with light brown eye and blood long hair. “so how did mission go Lady Bambo” Said the Captain “the site with cleanliness and the Necromancer taken into custody he been put in the jail waiting for justness.

If it is a hunting, I would like you to send on its way.” The team said “yes sir” “Cleric Schddoc you are updated on all way to send a sprite to next life” said Caption “yes I am Caption will have no problem with a sprite” said Gray “Good Dismiss” said Caption everyone splits and leaves.

A Day of travel they make to a little town with 10 building a water hole in the center of town. They dismounted their horse and enter the town. They see very little action it almost like a ghost town. With little hard, they see everyone just hiding in there home. Branwen and Gray fill a strange energy in the air but can't figure out where come from. When they see a elderly man with a horse a cart of fruits. Gray walk up “good morning sir” he said “yes it very good morning how can help you today” said sell men “well I just wounding why every hiding in there home there only very few people out” said Gray “oh that because they are a both of suspicion scary cat the think that ghost get them next.” Said the men. “well I here to help with their ghost problem where do they think it coming from,” said Gray “it up the road in wood over there it the only house out you can't miss it know before you go how buying some fruit for travels.” Said sell men. “thanks and sure I take a couple of apples,” said Gray as the transaction was concluded. Branwen put an extra couple gold down counting walking to woods as here man tanking them.

As they make their way to wood the filling getting stronger. Finally Calvin said “can you feel that what is it that can't make it out” “it took to long to fill that energy” Said Gray “don’t know but were on the right track so be ready and quite down” Branwen whisper no said they just draw their weapon out and follow her lead in little they see the house.

Brock charge behind the young man point one how his swords at him and the other one ready for counter anything. “hand in the air slowly” said Brock very commanding. The young man slowly put his hand in the air “are you going to rob me” said young man in very nonchalant way “No he not, We are with grads from Kingdom of Harmony and what are you doing out this way” said Branwen as they come from behind the trees “I just expoling came accost this wired energy.” Said the young man “well it is possible he could be here just by curesdent or” said Gray as Branwen cut him off “then why were you looking in the window is just passing by you were going to break in”. said Branwen “no I already try knocking on the door but there no answer and” pause for few seconds “ this large amount of energy could be dangers.
