The D-league vs. the Dark Monarch Volume 1, Issue 8: Double Trouble
Hakon was still up in his room, thinking about the previous day. He couldn't believe they had lynched their seer. How were they going to win now? It would take a miracle.
He continued to pace around the room, when not even deciding to use the door, but instead going right through the wall was a giant beast. It was the shapeshifter, it had come for
Hakon. Tonight the bear looked particularly annoyed, or at least more annoyed than normal for a killer bear. It didn't even want to waste time with politeness.
Hakon began sprouting leaves out of his arms, he was trying to wrap himself into a protective shield of leaves. It was no use, he did not stand a chance against the powerful bear's razor-sharp claws. With a quick three slashes the bear had felled the Leaf Man.
~~
Nearly at the same time, but in a room on the other side of the B&B, there was another disturbance coming from
Lari's room.
*Knock*Knock* "Let us in, Let us in, or I shall blow this door down." sang a voice.
Lari had been asleep, but as soon as her door blew off the hinges from a gust of wind, she woke up. She barely had time to react, before a spout of fire came shooting at her, but she was quick and threw up a one of her pillows, which caught fire in mid-air and disintegrated immediately.
"Get her!" shouted their leader.
Lari could only hover 3 feet above the ground, but she was fast and could hover quite well. She was almost out her door, when Pain jumped up and snatched her ankle. She tried to break Pain's grip, but the teeth sank in and she doubted she would be able to carry Pain's weight. So,
Lari took her free leg and kicked Pain right in the rib cage. Pain yelped and released the grip.
She dodged another shot of fire that went a mere inches above her head. Firefly stood smiling at the door.
Lari's only escape. She turned back to see Gust helping Pain off the ground and yelling "Get up you dog!"
"There's no way out now." laughed Firefly
"Yes there is" said
Lari hovering exactly three feet above the ground. "Through you."
Lari bull-rushed Firefly, who was not quick enough, and Firefly lay on the flat of her back. But a powerful wind had struck
Lari in the back, and she hit straight into the wall. She had been knocked out.
"Finish her, Pain." said Gust.
"With pleasure."
~~
When the Heroes awoke for Day 2 and two more of them were missing.
Lari and
Hakon.
They first went to
Lari's room and saw laying outside Lari lying on the ground. She had bite-marks around her throat and it looked like her neck had been broken.
"Who do you think did it?" asked
tum.
No could seem to answer. "How could anyone not hear this last night?" asked
Nerwen. "Look at this mess. It was as if a tornado came through here."
"We still need to find
Hakon too." said
sally.
But when they went to check
Hakon's room. He was not there. Where could he be? There was a trail of leaves that led out of
Hakon's room and downstairs. Everyone followed the trail, and it ended at the fireplace downstairs.
Attached to the fireplace was a note.
Inziladun read it out loud.
I was hoping for someone a little more tasty. I don't find leaves to be all that appetizing, but I really like smores. So I did the next best thing. Hakon might have just been an ordinary, but he sure made great firewood. Nothing like gooey smores roasted over an open-Hakon.
