CHAPTER 2 Awakening

Fallgrim...

A tower hums

Where a muted-dweller

Ruminates his fate...

Feeling my self open my eyes I slowly got up and took in my sights, which was pretty much nothing so grabbing my sword I walked to the hole and started crawling.

——

After a long journey I was finally out out of the hole turning around I saw that what I just crawled through was not a hole but hollowed out spine and I couldn't be more amazed for a moment.

After looking at the huge bones behind me I started walking down the somewhat intact path until I came apon the first shell and slowly I began walking towards it however the closer I came the faster my heart sped up until I tuched its cheek and then I just willed my self to be in and almost immediately the only thing stopping it from be instantaneous was the fact that some vertigo.

Man is more then a sleeve

Poped up in my head as I continued down the path only stoping wean I reached the end the beautiful land of Fallgrim came into view and like everything before it I silently enjoyed the scenery before going over to a abandoned enemy camp were there was a glimpse waiting for me and after a little bit I found the chest that contained a lute and another glimpse as well as some other items however wean I placed my hand on a stone near me my vision was suddenly gray and wean I saw felt someone's eyes on me I looked up only to see a black shadowy figure inter a building and then my sight returned I stoped messing around and started in the direction of the tower and thankfully I didn't have to go around looking but because of my fore knowledge I knew where I needed to go however I didn't want to, knowing full well that I would have to kill and don't get me wrong I was fine stabbing or slicing someone but killing was something completely different. Letting out a sigh I continued walking silently prepping myself, it didn't take long for me to see the enemy camps however I only paid attention to the one in front of me picking up my pace I swung my sword easily beheading him useing the same momentum I charged at a group that was siting down and playing the lute.

The one in front of me was geting up wean my sword cut him in two. The other two were already up on their feet and attacking but thay were clumsy and slow so it was easy for me to dodge. Going in for another attack I failed to see the attack that was about to hit me and if it wasn't for me makeing quick hast to use my hardening I would have no doubt that I would have been dead l.

Looking up, I plunged my sword straight into the closet enemy, side-stepped and cut down on its head as it tried to hold it its inside from falling out and immediately after that I hardened myself just in time for the last enemy's club to come down and hit my hardened shell and wile it tried to recover I slid my blade into its side and twisted before pulling out I however started to run up the hill my mind preoccupied with what just happened it was my first kill in either life it felt sorta like walking around naked, it felt like a taboo and even though it didn't hurt me in any kind of way I still felt jittery.

I was glad wean the sight of a slightly opens door came into my view and I slowed down as I walked into the room slowly I let my hands glide along the wall however I couldn't feel it no I couldn't feel anything but my thoughts were different they felt empty and out of place

—somewhere in the void in between—

" it is time"

a horrendous looking snake said as it slithered into a hole that not even a human eyes could see much less, a behemoth snake.

—Back at the tower—

Exiting my somewhat deep train of thought I walked over to the sister and lightly placed my hand on her cheek that seems to do the trick, seeing as she started to stir and awaken from her slumber?

" pray, what wayward sprit beckons?"
