Description
Chapter 16“Two…”
Neshae’s life seemed to officially be measured in seconds. There seemed to be no way out. He tensed as the man was about to speak the final number.
The earth shook, distracting both the vampire and his hunter. Neshae recovered faster and moved the man’s arm away from his chest, then bit it.
The hunter cried out in pain and punched Neshae in the head, knocking him off. Before any further attack could be made, however, a boulder fell from the ceiling and hit the floor, causing the small tiles to shatter.
Neshae ran down a hallway. He had to find a way out of this place before it came down. Behind him, he could hear the vampire hunter chasing after him.
“AAAHHHH!!!” came a scream from further down the hallway. “The hunter is back! Hide the umbrella!”
Umbrella? Neshae thought. Why would a vampire hunter be after an umbrella?
Then it hit him. This guy wanted the Aeaunce. The next letter in the word was a U, so the next Aeaunce started with a U. If it was the umbrella the man was after, then the umbrella was the next Aeaunce.
An imp ran past him, holding what looked like an umbrella at first, but when Neshae looked closer, it seemed to be made of some kind of precious stone.
That would be an Aeaunce. Neshae thought. He took the umbrella from the imp as it was running past him and turned sharply into another tunnel. Then he found his way out. It was the portal that the monsters used in the game to go into the dungeon and join the army. Neshae jumped into the square shaped hole in the floor.
He “fell out” of the hole and landed on green grass. There was a feeling inside him that he’d traveled through time again. Especially when he saw another Raymanian looking at him surprised.
The Raymanian looked about the same age as Neshae. He had brown hair that stuck out like Neshae’s, but hung down more than his did. His eyes were green like the leaves of the trees around him. On his chest was a symbol of two dots connected by a line.
“Who are you?” the Raymanian asked.
“Uh. My name is Neshae. Who are you?”
“I am Hesaoh. Hesaoh Luaosd.” He extended a hand. “Nice to meet you.”
Neshae shook the hand. “So what are you doing around here?” he asked.
“I was going to battle the dungeon keeper in that portal. Rumor has it he has chosen that place underground to build an army to destroy the world. I plan to destroy him before he succeeds.” Hesaoh said.
“Um. Okay. But I have to warn you, from my experience, that guy’s gonna win. Don’t worry. Some heroes in the future will fight the monster army under the eyes of a vampire that happened to accidentally fall in.” Neshae said. When he saw the confused expression on Hesaoh’s face, he added, “Don’t try to make any sense of it, I only can cause I was there and I know what happened. Now let’s get out of here before the vampire hunter comes through that portal behind me and kills us both.”
The two walked a ways before Hesaoh suddenly remembered he had to meet someone.
“Who?” Neshae asked.
“Her name is Ann. She is the first werefox I have ever met. And we have sort of formed…I guess you could call it some kind of connection.” Hesaoh smiled. “But you probably wouldn’t understand. You’d have to experience it to do so.”
Starting to pick up on who exactly he was talking to, Neshae answered, “More than you’d think.”
