《The Misadventures of a Young Dark Magician》Episode 16 (Part 2)

Bridget, Midoricha, and Gurenji made it to a part of the region where the green had resided. They went through the odd forest in search of the antidote.
“There’s so much green in this place, too much of it!” Gurenji said in a disgusted tone.
“There’s also a lot of bugs around here too,” Midoricha added.
“Well, yeah. There are a bunch of crazy and different worlds out there. You never know what happens in each of them...”
“Huh.”
Just then, a familiar female voice called out to them.
“Guys, can you hear me?”
“Was that Saki I just heard?” Bridget asked.
“I think I heard it too,” Gurenji replied.
“Please, listen to me.” The Princess pleaded. “You must leave this place at once.”
“But why?” Bridget questioned.
“Yeah, why?” Gurenji and Midoricha added in unison.
“It’s dangerous; more enemies have invaded the world. If you don’t make it out of there—”
“But what about your mom?” Gurenji asked, “Weren’t we going to—?”
“I know, but...”
“No, we’ll take our chances.” Bridget interrupted. “We promised to get the antidote for you, right, Saki?”
“Yeah, we won’t give up!” Gurenji agreed.
“Well, ok, I trust you guys,” Murasakiiro replied.
“All right, let’s get going, then!” Bridget declared.
“Yeah!” Midorichi and Gurenji nodded in agreement before heading off once again.
“You know, that’s the first time I’ve heard you agree with me on something.” Bridget pointed out.
“Well, of course,” Gurenji responded proudly. “What you said was 101% correct.”
“I, also, agree,” Midoricha added.
“You’ve been quiet lately, Midoricha...” Bridget commented.
“Well, I didn’t want to get yelled at by Gurenji again.”
“Look, about that...” Gurenji began. “What I meant by that is you shouldn’t state the obvious all the time.”

“Oh, now I get it.”
A rustle in the bushes got the group’s attention. Bridget turned and watched as a strange creature jumped out from the bushes. It had heads and limbs attached to one giant flabby blob with red eyes, purple arms, and a black swarming torso.
As it walked towards them in an unsettling way, Bridget, Midoricha, and Gurenji all made a break for it and sprinted away.
They ran for their lives, trying not to trip and get caught by the strange creature until they came across a cliff. Stuck in a tight spot, with little time to think of a way out of their mess, the blobs inched closer to them. The Pilkons could probably float away, but what would that leave Bridget?
“What should we do now?” Gurenji asked.
“Jump!” Bridget yelled.
“What? Are you out of your mind?” Gurenji doubled back in shock.
“That's a fantastic idea; let’s do it!” Midoricha exclaimed.
Without looking back, Bridget leaped off the cliff, with the other two Pilkon following right behind her. Gurenji and Midoricha grabbed on to Bridget’s feet so she could float down safely onto the ground.
After separating from her feet, the three looked up as the creatures didn’t follow them. Then again, considering how steep the cliff was, they couldn’t be sure if it wasn’t following them.
“Man, that was a close one.” Bridget sighed in relief.
“My head hurts,” Gurenji complained.
“And that’s a long way up from here,” Midoricha commented. “Guess there’s no turning back now.”
“Tell me about it,” Gurenji muttered bitterly.
“Let’s get going then. Hopefully, we should be almost there...” Bridget proclaimed.
She continued to walk the path in front of her, with the Pilkons not too far behind.

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.
