Another time. THEN, you will be destroyed.
*Gore dissolves into the ground, the fog fading a little just enough to see the twilight once more*

[b]Cadmael lands on the ground gracefully as Kross lowers his swords. They walk towards us[/b] [i]Damn[/i]
-
[i]Damn is right. Why didn't he kill us on the spot?[/i] *Before you can answer, a man in robes approaches the gate. His skin is charred black*
-
"Oh great. Well this vacation has gone to shit." [b]Kross readies his sword as he walks over to the figure [/b] [u]Who is this guy? [/u] [b]Cadmael stands with us[/b]
-
*Crossbow walks up to him* *He looks the figure intently* [i]Wit?[/i] *The figure nods* [b]I've come out of studying to help you with your problem... Don't ask about the skin.[/b] *Crossbow looks relieved* [i]Guys! This is Mortar's, or Gore's, Roommate and best friend. He's been studying that book for weeks, months, and now he's out to help us.[/i]
-
[b]Kross sheathes his swords, obviously annoyed he didn't get to use them [/b] "Hey Wit!" [spoiler]Do Royal and Wit have a backstory then? [/spoiler] [b]Cadmael helps Royal to his feet and they walk over to Wit.[/b]
-
[spoiler]No. Mortar and Wit do, but that would be before Royal was born.[/spoiler] [b]Hello. There may be something in this book that can help you here.[/b] *Wit pulls out an old, large, leather-bound book with odd symbols on the front and spine of the book* [b]My Ex-Girlfriend gave me this before we split. I've been studying it since we broke up... Not important, not important. Let's find Gore.[/b]
-
[spoiler]Ah okay?[/spoiler] "Is it possible that you may be uh- how do you say?" [u]Attached you mean?[/u] "Yes attached. Could be attached to the book?" [i]Does it matter? [/i] [[u]Yeah Really? [/u] "Ah i suppose not. Let's just get this done."
-
[b]Attached? Maybe a little. Reminds me of her... Yes. Now, where would you assume he'd go?[/b]
-
"The Underworld."
-
[b]Of course... The one place I swore to myself I'd never go back to. Let's go.[/b] *Wit says some incantation, and a portal opens up to the Underworld, seemingly darker and more red than the Dojo*
-
[b]Kross enters the portal confidently with Cadmael right behind [/b] "Damn you Crossbow. Came here for a short while now I'm stuck."
-
[i]You could have easily said no.[/i] [b]Wait, I'm not entirely sure who you three are. I know Crossbow, but not you three...[/b]
-
"Ah well I'm Royal. The guy with the wings is Cadmael. And the guy with the three swords is Kross."
-
[b]Hmm...[/b] *Wit looks the three of you up and down* [b]I'll see what you do in combat, determines if I trust you.[/b]
-
"Are we really going to do this? Because I can always leave." [b]Royal looks at Wit obviously Annoyed[/b] "You'll just have to trust us."
-
[b]Look, I know it was your vacation, your wind down, I heard Mortar through the wall about you, memories coming back and such, but just remember that no one forced you here, you came on your own behalf, and you can leave when you want. God, it's hot down here.[/b] *It is obvious that everyone except Crossbow is feeling the affects of heat*
-
[b]I light my hand on fire [/b] "Not that bad. And yes I am aware that I came here on my own behalf but my point stands. Trust us."
-
[b]Okay, let's go then.[/b]
-
"Lead the way."
-
[b]yes.[/b] *He leads you into an intricate cave system, before being led to a large city, rotted corpses piled up in the center* [b]Damn...[/b]
-
"I've been here before." [i]Really? [/i]
-
[b]Well, Mortar brought you here for training...[/b]
-
"Not just training."
-
[i]Then where?[/i] *Wit and Crossbow sit down on a burned stump*
-
"A while ago." [b]Royal looks around, angry[/b] "But I can't remember." [b]Cadmael and Kross stand next to you[/b]
