The Fallen Blade Chapter 3A Story by ZacSurprisesThey ventured forth into the unknown world
that would soon bring an unwanted toll on all of them “Sir, the men were wondering if you actually
knew what you are doing, is there anything you want me to say to them?” asked
Dregger “Yes, tell them if any of them doubt my
authority they can pack up and go back home.” Replied Otis angrily As the men travelled they came across and
challenge. “It appears that there is an obstacle in our
midst, it appears to be some kind of rhyme. It says; “Walk within, But beware, Or something might give you a scare, Do not be alarmed, You will only be harmed.” “Be on the lookout for something
suspicious!” Yelled Dregger Many of the men stood frozen in fear, but as
they realized there was not threat they walked forward, right into their
downfall. All of a sudden a Creature rose from the ground and stood there with
blood red eyes looking towards its intruder. It was a creature no man has ever
escaped. The men were done for. The creature slaughtered many men until it came
to Prince Otis and Dregger. Their battle strategy was rusty, but very
effective. They hacked and slashed until there was no more strength left in
them. They were disarmed and done for. That is when a cloaked man came and cut
one of its whickers, sending it yelping away. Then they realized their rescuer,
it was Nicolas Archer. “They
have very sensitive whiskers.” Said Nicolas “How did you find us?” said Otis still
stunned with disbelief. “I go here and there.” Replied Nicolas “But
the real question is what are you doing here?” “We were looking for you, so that you could
help us defeat the Ogbeast.” “The Ogbeast? You must be one desperate soul
like the many others who have tried to defeat the Ogbeast.” “Wait… there have been others?” “Yes lots, big ones, small ones, you name
it. But what do you need my help for exactly.” Replied Nicolas “Well, we need to get to work.” “I know its weaknesses but that is not the
easy part. The easy part is getting real close to it so that you can slice its
head.” This is a magical creature. It cannot be killed with any sword. I have
the sword you need and you can have it only if you give me my freedom back as a
free man.” “You may start a new life again if you
promise that you will try and help us to defeat the Ogbeast.” “Your word is my command.” Said Dregger. So the men started going to go to the
Ogbeast. A couple days later they met the Ogbeast, except it had grown, how? They
were all stricken with fear as the beast towered over everything. They fought the beast with all their courage
and all their might. All seemed hopeless until Nicolas flanked the huge beast,
came near, and just before he could slay it he was slain by the Ogbeast. The
battle was lost. Beaten by the Ogbeast Otis prepared to face Death itself
straight in the face. But that is when it happened. Dregger picked up the sword
and just before he was slaughtered the Ogbeast took Deaths toll instead of
Otis. The battle was won. “Well, that was much unexpected.” Said Otis
grieving over the death of a long lost friend. “Sir, we must get to the castle to reassure
the rest of the people that the kingdom is safe now.” Said Dregger “But first we must give him a proper burial.
I will not just let him lie there.” “I understand sir, but we need to make it
quick, who knows what other dangers are in this forest.” Said Dregger. So the men buried not just a solider but
also a friend. Then they headed back to the castle not only to find happiness
and peace, but instead they found fire and destruction. © 2015 ZacAuthor's Note
