My name is not important but my story is. Listen and pay attention maybe you can avoid my fate.

 

 It was a warm day I remember it clearly. Sun shining birds chipping. It was a wonderful day. So I decided to take a trip to the island I had heard there was a lovely volcano with beautiful scenery. It was a must see place I was told. So I grabbed my gear. I strapped on my armor, threw on my favorite bracelet and necklace, slipped my boots on and grabbed my helmet and blade on the way out my door. As I stepped outside my two favorite pets Jaden and Jubei came running to meet me. They were really excited so I decided to take them along with me. And off we went. My journey had begun.

 

My first stop was Gobi city. Since I lived at the edge of the Misty Marsh it was more convenient to stop their then backtracking to Elven City. Gobi was busier then I had expected. But I was only their for some potions and to see if they had any new items at the blacksmith. The alchemist was very kind and generous. I think she may have a little thing for me. I had gotten my potions at a discount. On my way to the blacksmith a fellow stopped me.

 

"Your path is dangerous I bid you to go home."

 

"Well sir I don`t believe a day sight seeing is gunna hurt me any. Besides what do you care you don`t even know me."

 

 "Have it your way brave young man. What would you like your headstone to say so I may have that prepared for you."

 

 "I don`t have to deal with this I bid you farewell stranger."

 

I must admit after that conversation I was a little shaken. So I decide to forego the trip to the blacksmith and head straight to the teleporter.

 

"Hi kind sir. Where would you like to go today?"

 

"I would love to go to the Island ma`am."

 

"As you wish sir. Have a nice day."

 

And with a wave of her hands and a few magical words off I went. Now I don`t know if you have ever been teleported but let me tell you it is something else. You feel your body dematerialize and then it`s sort of like a weightless feeling. Then its dark real dark solid darkness. Then a light appears and you get the feeling of weight back. Then your molecules decide to slam back together which can be a little painful the first time. Well just try it sometime. It`s fun. Now where was I?

 

Oh yea. Well when I came threw at the Island I did a quick check to make sure everything was where it was supposed to be. All was fine. That`s when I realized I had no clue where this volcano was supposed to be. I scanned the horizon which revealed nothing. No smoke or high mountains. I was really confused because I`m sure that I came to the right place. So I walked around a little bit and came to a dock. I walked up to the first person I saw.

 

"Excuse me but could you..... It`s you the guy from Gobi. How did you know I`d be coming here?"

 

 "Young man I know alot about you. I see you decided to forego my advise and proceeded anyways. I`m afraid if you go any farther you may never return."

 

 "Why do you keep saying that? What could possibly happen at a volcano that people go to all the time? I think your just being a little bit paranoid."

 

 "There are many things in this world that you are not meant to understand. But you have one last chance to heed my warning. Go home young man come to the volcano another day. Take a trip to Icyland, do whatever you please but do not go to that volcano!"

 

 "Your just being ridiculous and why would I want to go to Icyland it`s frigging cold there. Now either tell me how to get to the volcano or please excuse me I must be on my way."

 

"Farewell young man and may the god bless your journey you shall need it."

 

 Twice within an hour this man has interrupted my trip with words that were very unsettling. But me being a headstrong person decided to continue on. I wondered around the dock for a little while longer and I came to a fellow with a boat. He looked very knowledgeable so I approached him.

 

"Excuse me sir. I was wondering if you could tell me how to get to the Volcano?"

 

"I could take you there. I must warn you though it is very dangerous this time of the year."

 

"Well I`m just sick of people saying that. You said you can bring me and I would appreciate that highly."

 

"Okay mister just relax a little it`s a long trip and very rough at times so just try to relax yourself."

 

Now this was my first time on a boat ever. So I was excited to say the least but not nearly as much as Jaden and Jubei was. They were running and jumping and playing all over the place. I had never saw them have so much fun since they were born. I just stood at the stern of the boat and watched the waves past by. About three hours into the trip I saw it on the horizon. The tip of the volcano the stream of smoke the smell of sulphur in the air. I had finally made the Volcano was right there.

 

"Thank you sir I won`t forget this. You have a good day."

 

"Your welcome but mister beware of Saxon. This is his island and this is the time he comes ......"

 

Well I didn`t much care to hear what he had to say I had enough of warnings for one day. So I took off running the volcano was right there and I wasn`t stopping until I reached the top. Then I saw it. The strangest being I had ever saw in my life. He was 20 feet talk with wings wider then my house. A head that was bigger then my upper torso. Muscles the looked capable of ripping me in to. Unfortunately for me he had noticed me too.

 

"WHO DARES TRESPASS ON MY ISLAND ON THIS MY SACARED DAY!"

 

"I`m sorry I didn`t know tha...."

 

"SILENCE! YOU HAVE INTRUDED ON MY LUNCH. BUT THOSE TWO CREATURES WITH YOU LOOK AWFULLY DELICIOUS."

 

"NO! You won`t touch them they are my friends, my family. I`ll die before I let you touch them."

 

"THAT CAN BE ARRANGED YOU LITTLE WORM!"

 

I didn`t have much time to react because with a flap of his wings he was spawn me. But I wasnt alone Jaden and Jubei was quicker then him. They were on him in a flash. Jaden biting with all his might Jubei was punching and kicking like never before. I drew my sword and joined the fray. Saxon was SMILING. He was actually enjoying our attempts. I was hacking and slashing using every skill I was taught. For ten minutes he just stood there while we pounded and slashed and bite. He just stood there while we tired ourselves out.

 

"HAHAHA! I HAVE ENJOYED THIS SHOW AND I APPLAUD YOUR ATTEMPTS BUT IT IS TIME FOR ME TO END THIS."

 

And end it he did. He took his sword sized claws and raked Jubei right down the middle. With a flap of his wings he sent Jaden into a pit. Then he turned to me.

 

"NOW IT`S YOUR TURN."

 

 I tried to run but he reached out and grabbed me before I took two steps. As he raised me to his head I felt my bones crushing. I knew I had very little time left. Then a lighting bolt came from out of nowhere.

 

"ARGH WHO DARES DISTURB ME AGAIN!"

 

"You shall not terrorize these parts anymore. Go away go far away or die in the spot you stand."

 

"ANOTHER HUMAN WORM DARES THREATEN ME. LOOK AT THIS PUNY WARRIOR DO YOU THINK YOU SHALL FAIR MUCH BETTER."

 

"Try me."

 

My eyes were clouding over but I could still see this very clearly as if time had stopped. The clouds darken and the ground shook. Saxon was frozen in a solid chunk of ice. Then Lighting stormed down repeatedly striking Saxon. Rocks flew striking him repeatedly. Then the mage released Saxon who dropped to a knee.

 

 "It`s..... you the... guy.. from gobi and the.... *cough* docks.... How did you .... know..."

 

"Not now young one rest I have something to finish."

 

"Shall you go or do you wish to die here today Saxon."

 

"NO HUMAN CAN EVER BEAT ME. NEVER!"

 

"Very well then."

 

 At the very moment the ground under Saxon opened up and swallowed him up. In a matter of seconds their was no sign that a battle just took place. The mage came over to me and knelt down beside me.

 

"I gave you warnings, I gave you chances to go back and yet you decided to came. Now your pets are dead and you are dying. Their is no one around to help. Before you pass learn this lesson so you wont make it again in the next life. Trust your gut and listen to advice. And when you are outmatched their is no shame in running. Now young man rest. We shall meet again very soon."

 

So I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I awoke and when I opened my eyes it was pure white and Jaden and Jubei was laying next to me. I didnt have much time to think cuz their before me stood someone in a black cloak.

 

"The time has come young man. Are you ready?"
