Incathuga Daentsuro's Random Thoughts and Writings

Chapter 5

“Eventually we managed to banish the dragons that had turned, but we needed to get six more people to help. In the end we had thirteen, but the last dragon was a bit... evil. We suffered extreme casualties and only five of us remained after sealing him. Mitzi, Maguses, Leita, Fientzi, and I remained. The other eight were assumed dead. We broke the group up after that because our duty was done.”

“Well, I guess I can trust the rest of you. How long would it take them to get here?”

“We already are here,” said a man in a gray cloak. He wore glasses and had purple eyes with short brown hair. “It’s good to see you all again. I managed to find a few of our old friends in the three years since we won the war. They should get here soon.” As soon as the man said this, four people warped near the group. “I assume you’re Shadow. I’ve collected much information about you from what little Zaingol gave me in his telepathy. I couldn’t find your true name, though, so you should tell us.”

“I don’t know my true name. All I know is that Lumeros erased my memory and that I’m the dark wielder. I shall assume that you’re Maguses, since you have so much information about me.”

“Yes, I’m Maguses.” He turned to the figures standing at the edge of the group. “Fientzi, Sateerag, Sialgus, Leita. Come and join the party.” The four did so.

The first to come was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman wearing red armor and carrying an orange rapier. “Cel, it’s good to see you again after breaking the group up.” She turned to Shadow to introduce herself. “I’m Fientzi, a fire natural. I guess you’re the dark wielder.”

Next was a man with brown hair tied back in a ponytail and blue eyes. He was tall and thin, with blue armor, plasma grenades on his belt, a sniper rifle on his back, and an assault rifle in his hands. “Cel, I heard what happened with Inky. I shouldn’t have left.”

“Sateerag, I understand why you left us. Even if you had been there, Inky would have still had to send himself to the Void to seal Nalengsk.”

“But still, I could have prevented the other deaths. I guess Inky still has a chance to have the seal broken.” He turned to Shadow. “I guess you’re in charge of this operation, right?”

“Cel was second in command for the Order, so she should be the leader. I’ll take my role as the last in line.”

Third to join them was a man carrying a long, double ended spear. He wore black armor and had short blond hair and green eyes. “You? You’re the man with the shifting sword. I’ll defeat you this time.” The man prepared to attack, but the last figure, a young girl about twelve years old ran forward to stop him. She had long black hair and dark gray eyes, almost black. She was wearing casual clothes, like Celevescent.

“Sialgus, calm down. You were beat last time and you’d be destroyed this time.” She turned to talk to Shadow. “I wasn’t expecting to see you again. Leinetsu has interesting methods of carrying out her plans, doesn’t she?”

“Yes, she does. It’s good to see you again, Leita. You too, Sialgus. I’m afraid I must reject your invitation to fight for now. We have more important matters to attend to.”

Celevescent decided that this was too odd for her. “How do you two know Shadow?”

“Sialgus and I met each other again after we separated and started searching for a way to free Inky. About three weeks ago we met Shadow and Sialgus decided he wanted to fight someone. Shadow won in five seconds.”

“He startled me with that sword. When it changed I felt... I felt Incathuga’s soul. I can’t explain it, but Incathuga was there, almost like a ghost.”

“You were imagining things. Admittedly, it’s odd that Shadow has an Infiniteum like Inky did, but thirteen exist. It’s a coincidence, nothing more. I didn’t see Inky’s aura that day. It vanished when he sealed himself. Nothing returns from the Void, the seal is perfect.” She quickly turned her head and closed her eyes, like she had seen something out of the corner of her eye. “Duck!”

Just after she yelled that bullets flew over the group’s heads. Shadow unsheathed his daggers and dashed to their source, a man in the forest. He knocked the man out with a hit to his head with the broad side of one dagger. When the man woke up Sateerag was holding the gun, a semi-automatic shotgun.

“Please don’t hurt me. I was only following Lord Dorfaen’s orders.”

“And Dorfaen was following Lumeros’s orders. You’re just as guilty as the one who ordered you. Why should we spare your life if you would have taken ours’?” asked Sateerag while he looked through the rest of the assassin’s weapons.

The man waited a second and realized there wasn’t a good answer. “You shouldn’t.”

“That’s actually the best answer you could have given. Tell us where Dorfaen is and I might convince the others to spare you.”

“He’s in the Cemetery of the Nameless, with most of the other officials.”

“That isn’t possible. No one leaves that graveyard. Even the government can’t counter Roduno’s curses.”

“It’s true. To have free access to the cemetery one must stay in it for a night.”

“Well then, now we have a goal. All of these weapons are ours, but you’re free to go now.” Sateerag grabbed the man’s other guns and ammo before the man ran towards the city as fast as possible. Sateerag faced Shadow. “You must admit, we got free weapons and a lead.”

“Well, Cel, should we go to End’s Church or look for another lead?”

“We’re going to the church for now. We can decide what to do when we reach it.”





Yes, they'll be going to End's Church and eventually the Cemetery of the Nameless. This chapter was actually just to introduce those five people from the old Order. More will show up later. I'm having trouble getting ideas for chapters right now, so suggestions will be helpful. I know what will happen in the cemetery, so suggest what could happen after that.
