Khaos
Dare to be Optimistic
as I continue to write my story I realized I made a mistake in not reserving posting spots for each day. So with much consideration I decided I would make a new thread with a Link to the first thread. 19s Journey to 39s THE BEGINNING that has the first day and a half of our Journey here is the continuance of My and my friends Journey to 39s
Khaos, Pixxie, Williams set off onto there journey late in the evening, only stopping to camp.
LATER THAT EVENING
“So how far do your expect we have to travel?” Pixxie says as she starts the fire with a Fireball
Williams looking at the map “I would say we will probably get to Gnomeregan early in the day. As long as we don’t dwindle around waiting it should not be too late for us to arrive.” As Williams finishes his sentence Willy’s ears perk up and he begins looking around. Williams puts his finger to his mouth signaling silence to the group. Khaos turns around grabbing his mace and shield slowly as Pixxie does the same thing grabbing her staff.
“No need to get ready to defend” Says a cloaked figure walking out of the woods, removing the hood above his head. “My name is Syncro, I have been following you all for some time, from what I can tell you all are heading towards Gnomergan. Maybe I could be of some assistance.”
Khaos proceeds to set down his shield and mace, nodding to everyone else to follow his lead. Willy being the last to settle down as he lies down, even still the large hound never letting Syncro out of his gaze.
“Please do not worry, I am a monk I feel peace and balance are the keys to life, I have no reason to disrupt those. Now may I sit?”
Khaos nodding as the others seem unsure. For some reason Khaos can’t help but trust Syncro, he just can feel the light coming from him and he can tell it’s pure.
“So you’re interested in joining us to go into Gnomeregan? Is there intentions behind this?” Khaos asks
“Well I just recently began my path as a Monk, I have been a soldier most of my life and felt I needed a change. Thus I became a monk, seeking out peace in my life. But the call for battle has come, I have been recruited into the 39th battalion. As a monk I feel I need to hone my skills thus is the purpose for going into Gnomeregan, and the Dungeons that need the aid of the skill level that I have. I hear Gnomeregan is completely overrun bye leper and out of control machines, so I figured joining a group would be most beneficial.”
“We are trying to join the 39th battalion, you said you were recruited?” Pixxie says as she notices how calm Khaos is and starts to slowly relax.
“Yes I am a member of the 19th battalion.”
“We are also, but we haven’t seen you on the battle field. Granted the 19th battalion is so large that isn’t surprising.” Khaos states
“Yes I was recruited the 39th battalion is short handed that is why they don’t see battle as often. My actions on the 19th battle field have been noticed and I was asked if I would be interested in joining the 39th as well.” Syncro states as he turns towards his bag.
Willy begins growling at the sudden movement. “It’s alright boy” Williams states as he pats Willy’s side, Williams as well starting to relax a bit as he notices both Pixxie and Khaos accepting the guest. Syncro stopping his movement until Williams gives him the go ahead as he pulls out some bread and with an offering gesture towards Khaos. Accepting he takes a bite as Both Pixxie and Williams watches.
“Its fine” Khaos quickly states as he continues to eat Syncro offering it to each member of the group including Willy who sniffs it and eats it in one big bite relaxing soon after showing a sign of trust towards Syncro.
“Thank you for the bread, would you like some meat?” Khaos asks as he pulls out some Cured Jerky from his bag and passes it around to everyone.
“No thank you as I am a Monk, I am a vegetarian.” Syncro states as he eats more bread offering more to Willy as he smiles knowing he has finally won the trust of the big hound.
“Well we need to get some sleep if were going to get to Gnomeregan bye early day” Williams states.
Syncro stands “I understand that you all probably wouldn’t sleep well if I am near, I am going to go ahead and travel threw the night I will meet everyone there.”
“You really don’t have to Syncro” Pixxie states as she begins to pull out blankets for everyone. “We are all taking watch shifts anyways so How about you take the first one?”
She continues as she offers Syncro a blanket, He willingly accepts and sits back down.
“Not that I could do anything with that Large Hound here….he would be on me before I even tried to do anything” Syncro states with a smile followed bye a small bark from Willy
Everyone gets settled and goes to sleep taking shifts watching over each other threw the night.
END DAY 2
Early the next morning Khaos is woke bye a huge tongue licking his face followed bye a Bark. Pixxie laughing “Good boy!” as Willy goes over to Pixxie wagging his tail.
“Ugh……I guess that’s one way to get woke up, and I would prefer it doesn’t happen again” Khaos states as he wipes his face with a bandana.
Williams waking up from the laughter looks around trying to figure out what’s going on, standing up and stretching “What the……” he says as he rubs his eyes still not figuring out what is so funny. He shrugs and begins to pack up his bag.
“Well I think were ready to start the day, maybe we will make a good pace, I’m feeling a little anxious to blow some things up.” States Pixxie as she holds out both hands fireballs coming out of each.
“Patience is a virtue” Khaos says as he stands up and begins to stretch as well.
“I couldn’t have said it any better” Syncro says, he was sitting in a meditation position hovering above the ground, as he spoke he slowly landed and he opened his eyes. “Bye the way I know of a Gryphon Master that would give us a ride to Gnomeregan for a great price. Maybe that will make the lady happy?”
“That would be perfect!” Pixxie says right away
Syncro smiling as he feels he has contributed something to the group.
In a short time everyone is packed and begin on there way, Syncro explains to everyone that the Gryphon Master isn’t to far away as they begin there way to the road that will take them directly to him.
Not walking very far they come upon a roost full Gryphons with two children working. “Syncro!” they two kids exclaimed as they run over.
“Hey you two” Syncro says as he kneels down and gives them a hug “where is your grandpa I have some friends interested in his services.
“Oh he went after Old Ironfeather again. He got free…….again” The older of the two states.
“Great…..” Syncro mumbles as he turns to the group “So how fast we looking to get to Gnomeregan? Only reason I ask is this will go a lot faster if we help, Ironfeather is not easily captured and that Old man doesn’t move like he use to.”
“That’s a understatement” they younger kid says laughing
“We will help” Khaos says quickly
Syncro goes into the Roost and quickly comes out with 4 Gryphons “now these aren’t trained in the routes but they follow commands really well”
“You sure do know a lot about this Syncro” Williams chimes in
“The Old Man raised me, I had to deal with Gryphons all my life” Syncro states without skipping a beat.
Williams feeling a little embarrassed he brought it up. The group all takes the reins of the Gryphons and mounts them they slowly take off, Willy whimpering as he is sitting behind Williams heading up to the sky. “It’s alright boy I won’t let you fall” Williams says as the large hound nuzzles even closer to his master.
Syncro leading the group high up into the mountains and in the distance you can see a Large Gryphon flying at high speeds closely followed bye a smaller Gryphon with an Old man Spinning a Lasso above his head “GET BACK HERE!!!!” you can hear the old man yelling as he keeps missing with the Lasso.
“Syncro! You’re a sight for sore eyes. And wow you brought friends.” The old Gryphon Master states as the others fly up behind Syncro.
“Ya you will meet them later lets get Ironfeather now.” Syncro states as he quickly urges the gryphon as a Full speed burst towards the much larger Gryphon.
Flying past its head the large gryphon lets out a loud squawk as it recognizes Syncro. Shortly after Syncro diverts its attention Pixxie and Williams fly up to the Legs of the large beast and throw Ropes Around them The large Gryphon quickly realizing what’s happening flies up high pulling Pixxie and Williams off there Gryphons to be met bye Khaos jumping down off his Gryphon landing hard on his back head to toe in heavy mail the Gryphon goes back down as Pixxie and Williams Gryphons meet them and let them resettle them. Willy licking Williams as it scared the hound to death. Syncro flies up to the large Gryphon, throwing a large lasso around its neck.
“Now you know you have lost Ironfeather lets head home” Ironfeather squawks again as he begins to turn around flying back to the Stable.
“I don’t know what I would have done if you and your friends didn’t show up” The old man says as he leads Ironfeather into the largest stall. “You and I go way back Ironfeather, please be kind to his old fool.” He says as he pats the large Gryphons head and walks out. “Hi I’m Bartimus” he states holding out his hand to shake Khaos’s hand, Khaos does so and Bartimus then shakes Williams then hugs Pixxie. “Come in, come in….” Bartimus states as he walks into the Cabin near the Stable, once inside the kids are playing cards “Did you do it Syncro!” the youngest says getting up.
“Nah actually these guys did most of it” Syncro says smiling and sitting down. “So Old Man, think you could give us a lift to Gnomeregan?”
“Of Course! Free of charge for the help you all gave me.”
“Really its ok we can pay” Khaos states as he pulls out a pouch
“I would be insulted if you did pay……We will actually take Old Ironfeather, He needs a good flight and he’s the only one that can hold everyone.” Bartimus states
“Wouldn’t you be worried he will try to get away” Williams says
“Oh no, you see Ironfeather is just temperamental when he doesn’t get out much and when he gets in his moods and takes off he can be gone for weeks. Only reason why we don’t just let him be is the fact that I’m so worried that he just might not come back, not to mention he’s a forth of my business, there’s always people looking for flights with a group and will pay for him.” Bartimus says as he stands up and looks at the kids playing with Willy
“That’s a good hound you got there…..I see many hunters and most of them there pets are not very social and only like there master.”
“I think Pixxie broke him of that really quick” Williams says looking at Pixxie now over with the kids playing with Willy.
Syncro walks over and kneels down giving each of the kids a hug “we really need to get going, but I promise I will visit soon”
“Awe! But you guys just got here” The older child says
“Ya but we need to get to Gnomeregan to help the gnomes reclaim the lower levels of there great city, one day you will be expected to do the same” Syncro says to the kid as he stands up nodding at the group
“Kids go get Ironfeather ready for take off.” Bartimus says as he stands up
The kids run outside quickly as the group gets up and begin gathering up everything, Syncro goes outside shortly after to assist the kids.
“Well shall we get you all to Gnomeregan” Bartimus says as he stretches walking towards the door followed bye the rest of the group.
When they get out of the cabin the Large Gryphon was all ready the kids standing next to him and Syncro already on his back standing on a makeshift deck that has benches. Syncro rolls out a ramp up to Ironfeather back. In no time everyone was situated and Ironfeather was taking off into the sky with Bartimus right behind his head yelling Commands.
In a short time Ironfeather was crossing over Mountains into Dun Morogh beginning to descend as the groups see the large companies of gnomes coordinating in the camps surrounding the entrance of Gnomeregan.
