~PART ONE~
While riding with his mercenary group, the Iron Clads, Yemisar notices an airship.
"Now where do you suppose that ship is going," The mercenary leader questions his trusted captain.
"Possibly a battle, or maybe it's on an important mission," Replies Thom.
"wherever it's going, lets follow it,"says Yemi, the Clads fearless leader," I sense pay in our future!"
The Iron Clads turn around and head off in the direction the airship is headed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a good life, Ghask thinks to himself, Riding free, Battling feirce creatures, and getting paid tons of gold.
Wherever this airship is going, it will lead to gold, battle, and an end to what seems like riding for an eternity.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With his men behind him, he rushes into the battlefield shortly after the airship arrives. Drawing his twin dragon maces, he yells out,"For Gold, Glory, and Gerindel*!"
"For Gold, Glory, and Gerindel!" Yemisars men repeat back to him. And he smiles, for that makes him glad to hear the many voices of his group come together.
"Thom, take half the men and go around the edge of the battlefield," Orders Ghask the Great.
"Yes sir," Replies the commander.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thom and his men circle around the attackers while Yemisar's group tries to push them back into the wall of soldiers.
Because he wasn't being paid for standing around, Yemisar yelled out to his men,"Lets go men hustle, hustle, hustle!"
"But where are we going sir?" Said thom.
"Were going off in that-a-way," Yemisar says, pointing in the direction of the rising sun.
"But why sir? What's, That-a-way?"Questions thom again.
"Everything. It's that simple. Big cities, Our home, Patrons, and there is also a dorwhat base in that direction."
"Ok, um i guess that's logical," Thom replies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Yemisar and his men rode up to the Dorwhat base, He yells out," I'm here to help take down the rising opposition, the Reglux.
All I need is payment and the threat goes away."
A soldier comes up to him and says," If you wish to meet with the captain, you will have to come inside.
"Thank you very much, um whats your name?"
"Gordon"
"Thank you Gordon."
Only Yemisar walked into the outpost, Gordon stayed outside, to watch the hoard of men.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yemi leaves his weapons and his men at the door. He wants to convince the guard captain that he should be hired, not scare the payment out of him.
As he is shown in the door, the captain greets him,"hello mercenary, I see that you have brought your men with you."
"Thats right, I want to see that those little pests are gone, off the map, and I would like to start as soon as possible, with your funding of course."
"What an interesting proposition, Um, what do you call your self?"
"I am known as Yemisar Ghask to all."
"Well Yemisar, I will give you some money to do this, but you have to promise me that you and your men will stay loyal to the cause."
"Yes, I promise that we will stay loyal. Now, what do you want me to do for you, and about the money?"
"Okay, for the plans, I will want you to locate where they are hiding, where their stronghold is, and find out where they will be launching an attack next."
"Where they will be launching and attack next, yep got that, so what about the gold?"
An annoyed glance looks to Yemisar,"As for the gold, You will be payed 10,000 gold, that way all your men will get 100 gold."
Looking at the guard captain, Yemisar says,"and what for me, I will be wanting money too."
"You will be getting the same as your men, 100 gold," the captain says.
"I want either 1000 or 1500 gold coins." Yemi says defiently.
"Fine, I will give you the 1000, but thats it. No more for you."
"Thank you for doing business with the Iron Clads, Captain."
"Yes, whatever you say."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Yemi walks out of the outpost, Thom comes up to him,"how'd it go sir?"
"Just dandy thom, we go ourselves a job, 100 gold coins for everyone!" Yemi yells out to his men. "everyone, split up, we will go in groups of three."
"Where are we exactly going sir?" says one of the mercenarys.
"Well tim, we are going to search for where the Reglux is hiding, then after that, we will find out their plans. That's what we are doing."
"Okey dokey General Ghask."
"Off you go, meet up at the base when you find them."
Yemi gathers all his men up and yells at them,"Get your lazy selves up and onto your horses. We're going to the valley of peace."
"Well what are you waiting for?" asks Thom,"we need to get going!!!"
The hoard finally saddles up after half an hour and sets off towards the valley of peace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at a map, Yemi ponders on what direction they should take. Maybe we will go north into the forest of fog, then go northwest towards the flaming mountains....
Yes that's what i will do, Now Ill need a boat to get us across the lake of death and decay, i guess i will deal with that later then......
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The forest of fog is a mysterious place sir," Thom says to his surperior.
"Yes it is Thom, Yes it is....." Yemi voice trails off.
All of a sudden, a mysterious voice cries out,"Grom need his food!"
"Sir, what is that?????" Asks a terrafied thom
"I have no idea Thom," Replies Yemi.
Soon enough, A gigantic shadow appears in the fog. It's a giant and he's hungry.
"Grom see his food," The Grom the fog Giant bellows, and with that, he swings his giant club at the first of the Iron Clads.
"Everyone to outskirts of the clearing, and now!" come the first command.
The Next moment, Yemi takes off his cloak and sprouts his wings. He flies around the Giant a couple of times to size him up, then he breaths fire into the face of his adversary.
"Grom no see, Grom think dragon-man not nice," The fog giant says to himself.
Yemi then draws his two maces and strikes out with draconic fury and knocks the giant down onto the ground.
"Get the giant now men, strike with all you have!" The now draconic general screams out to his men, "kill him, kill him, and then trample him flat!"
"Sir calm down, don't you think your going overboard?"Thom questions his master.
With tears running down his green scales, he says to his assistant,"You leave me to my personal business Thom!"
"Yes sir," says Thom, who then shrinks down in his saddle.
"Thats enough men, screams Yemi to his men, we need to keep moving!"
The rest of the trip through the Forest of Fog was suprisingly quiet and Yemi was out of his rage after a good bit of time.
The Flaming Mountains are certainly a mysterious place, for wherever you turn your back, infact, whenever you turn your back, you could be face to face with a fire elemental.
"Okay men, we need to keep our eyes peeled for any sign of danger. If you smell smoke, run, for that is probably your skin burning from being so extremely close to an elemental. If you get too close, you will in fact die, but lucky me, my choosen element is fire so your fearless leader will stay alive."
"Sir? What if we do get attacked by a bunch of these, um elementals?" says a newer recruit.
"Your very funny, see, if we do get attacked, you will fight for your life, and then you will have proven yourself to the Iron Clads and will thus get a bigger payout. That is what you will do." Replies Yemi very seriously.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh how I hate the smell of sulfur, and not just sulfur, I also have to smell my stinking men. I think that they stink even more than the sulfur.
The Iron Clads keep moving forward through the mountain range. Yemi is constantly looking at his compass, making sure that they stay true to the course they should be taking. Occasionally, there are a few elementals, but Yemisar lets his men take care of them. He keeps on moving forward, eager to get out of the mountains.
I can feel the presence of a fire dragon here. I know a lot about dragons, but I don't really feel the presence of a powerful dragon. I wonder if i should take a closer look?
Yemi left his men to their slow walking, and moved up towards a cave on the peak of a mountain.
"Sir!" Thom yells at Yemisar,"Get down from there! You don't know what dangers lurk in that cave up there!"
"But Thom, I can feel the power of a dragon up there, and I want to go kill it and hang it's fangs on my warbanner!" Yells Yemi back at Thom.
"You once told me sir, that the mind of a dragon is deceiving and can trick a person into doing anything it wants it to, and I have a feeling that it wants you to do something bad." Thom says to his general.
"Your right Thom,"Yemi admited," I'll get back down to you and the men."
Before Yemi got down, he looked around, and he saw the lake of death and decay.
"We're almost to the lake men, almost there!"
He climbed down and when they got to the lake, they made camp until Yemi can come up with an idea to cross the lake.
Yemi raced out of his tent.
"Does anyone have chalk with them?"
The Iron Clads look through their gear and the few that have some raise it in the air.
"Good, now bring them here,"Yemi says to his men.
"Why chalk sir?"Thom asks,"What do you need it for?"
"The chalk is so I can draw the summoning symbol for the ship of Captain Davvy Wallace, he's an old friend of mine who owed me something."
"Oh sir, good thinking for a way to get across," say Thom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ship appears on the horizon, with its sails open wide, catching the wind, while the boat rides in on the tide.
"Ahoy Mister Yemisar! Haven't seen you in a while!"
"Yes Davvy, It is nice to see you again too!"
"What do you need of me and my ship this time?"
"I need you to take me across the Lake of Death and Decay, for I need to get to the valley of peace."Yemi says to his old friend.
"What is going on there that requires the person of Yemisar Ghask?"
"A battle for the welfare of the people of Dorwhat"
"Oh,"replied the captain,"Then we must be off!"
The soldiers of Yemisar boarded the ship and they set off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yemi addresses his men,"Ok boys, now don't look over the,"Splash!!!"Edge."
A mercenary looks at Yemi, then at the edge of the ship,"What is over the edge?"
"Oh, nothing dangerous, just a bunch of dead spirits who want to eat your soul."
"In that case, I will not look over the edge."
"Good idea,"says Yemi.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple hours later, a great moaning could be heard. They were in the middle of the lake, where the dead were known to come aboard the ship, and that is happeining.
"Watch out for the dead! Don't let them take you over the edge!"Yells the captain.
There were many undead who boarded the ship, and they took many men back overboard. The Mercenaries fought hard, but the undead where unbeatable.
Yemi and Thom went into the captains quarters and stayed there, hiding, defending themselves from the onslaught.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the boat reached shore, captain Davvy came to the door and knocked.
"Yemisar! The boat has reached shore! Come out!"
The door slowly opened and Yemi and Thom came out of their sanctuary of protection.
"Thank you for taking me and my...my...."Yemi looks around, noticing that all of his men besides Thom had fallen overboard or died.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!"Yells Yemisar,"My whole group of men, gone. Oh well, they were fools not to protect themselves below deck, no group is better than a group of fools. Lets go Thom."
"Thank you Captain Davvy, for providing free fare across the Lake of Death and Decay." Thom says.
"No problem sirs."Davvy says back to Thom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yemisar and Thom take their mounts and head out toward the valley of peace, Thom with a feirceness, ready to avenge the deaths of his fellows, and Yemi, an infernal rage of his, both ready to fight.
After riding through the woods, Yemi and Thom can see the end of the forest and the begginging of the valley of peace.
"We're almost out of this forest Yemi! Then we can fight those pesky freedom fighters and get over with this delema and move on to another issue," Thom says to Yemisar.
"The sooner we're done, the better Thom! I dread having to recruit all those new fighters."
"Yes, that will be the hardest of the things to come," Thom says back to his commander.
Yemi chuckles,"I would hope it would be."
And Yemisar and Thom left the woods and came into the valley of peace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a town in the valley of peace, and it is a small town at that. One might even hesitate to call it a town, for it is so small. Yemi and Thom approach this town carefully, taking note of every detail.
All of a sudden, they heard someone shouting,"I tell you again, in the name of justice, stand aside!"
"Thom, lets go look for the source of that sound!"
"Alright, lets go!" Says Thom.
when they get there, they see a figure standing in the middle of the road, facing a man wearing silver armor, who is the person doing the talking.
"I'm guessing this is a personal matter," says Thom.
"yes lets go find where the airship is."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After wandering around for some amount of time, Yemisar and Thom found the designated launch pad.
"Here it is boss, the launch pad," Thom says.
"Then I guess we wait here," Yemisar tells Thom.
