Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Dungeon

Deep within his sleep Draugur hears faint voices and visions the voices mutter into his ears as he wakes up gasping for air screaming no monkey clown

As next to him a pale skinned women wearing the outfit of a nun with short Bob cut black hair pale skin and bright blue eyes yelps as she holds her chest and takes a deep breath before saying

'Draugur your awake think goodness what where you thinking taking on a demon on your own'

Draugur blinking repeatly his expression confused and slightly unnerved looks around as he shifts up his says sister

'sister Emily where is Eren and Lyra'

Emily with a gentle smile and a sigh of relief says they fine in fact they are outside doing the house work

Draugur laying back down sighs in relief says think goddess

Draugur thinks

"I'm glad there safe that ugly mutant meatball thing was creepy as hell"

As Draugur looks at his left arm to see it is partfully burnt partfully healed as he says I guess someone must have found us and when did you get back

Emily putting her hand into Draugur looks him in the eyes and says I returned during the night and a few guardsman found you all laying near the pathway near the tower so thru brought you all to me for healing

Draugur with a goofy smile his eyes closed says oh that's great that's one of the many reasons I want to marry you

As w fist made of water hits Draugur out of the room as Emily her tome opens and tome serious water magic brawling holy fist

As her expression becames one of shock and embassment says oh no sorry Draugur I didn't mean to... It was just surprise

Draugur Now muddy and bruised rubbsbhis cheek groans and says not a problem it was my fault

Eren using his wind magic to carry wood followed by Lyra whos carrying wood with a pillar of stone both look at Draugur

Lyra her voice flat and cold her eyes deadpan says she just got back and your proposing to her again your hopeless you know

Eren glancing at Lyra his tone flat says Draugur you know you can't marry her

Draugur looks at both of them and points at Emily says hey never say never

Lyra sighing slaps her head and says is he dumb or just acting you can't marry a woman of the cloth it's forbidden

Draugur Crossing his arms huffs as he tilts his head and says whatever wait where did you get those as he points at the patches that house there codexs

Eren his tone deadpan arms crossed with a disinterested expression sister Maria made them for us you been asleep two days

Draugur hunching his expression tried and annoyed says I'll just make it a few more days as from afar he hears the loud growling and shouts of Sister Maria

Draugur looking to the side sees she's holding a massive fireball as she with inhuman speeds runs towards him shouting his name out

Draugur quick on his feet behind to run away with his arms swaying in the air

Maria shouting JUST HOW DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO SCARE US LIKE THAT YOUR MORON ONCE IM DONE WITH YOU, YOU'LL WISH YOU DIDN'T WAKE UP FOR LONGER!!!!!

Draugur Runnin' as fast as he can thinks man why didn't I just let the meatball monster kill me

A few minutes later

Inside the church Draugur getting here by sister Emily aw he bandages his arms and cuts he not as Maria staring at him huffs as she turns her head to the side and offers him s beg of ice we glad your okay she says the words seemingly forced but true

Lyra sighing says it's not like he did much he just carried me to safety while Eren handled the monster

Draugur his eyes narrowing in annoyances says yea our hero he really showed that creature who's boss while I'll was Running away taking you to safety

Lyra smirking says at least you know your place and what your go for

Eren thinking to himself his thought one of worry and concern is the power going to her head or something in any case

Eren aloud says Draugur that thing we fought the other day was..

Draugur waving dismissively says A human who as turned into a demon I know the basics at least that..uh. as he mind becames blank

Eren sighing says I'll explain once a being goes down the path of revenge they souls and ether became corrupted they bodies mutant and thoughts fragment

Those monsters are known to us as demons and it is the duty of....

Draugur stopping him says okay we get it no need to be so dramatic, so now onto the next question when are we getting to the city

Eren a small smile appearing on his face says we be-

Maria her expression dark says your not f

Going Draugur

Draugur taken aback by this looks at Maria and calmly says uh why

Maria banging her hands in the table says you dont even have magic how will you survive going to those exams you'll get yourself killed

Draugur leaning back against the chair it's my life Maria

As Michal walks in with grocery bags he says I'm back oh Draugur up

Draugur looking at Michal says what you got there

Michal walks towards the table just some supplies for Eren and Lyra'

Draugur his hunching says of course you do

Eren and Lyra' packing there begs prepare to leave as Eren half way out the door says sister Maria please rethink your choice about making Draugur stay behind

Maria sighing says I won't let that curse leave the...he already left didn't he

Lyra tied up with sock in mouth as a page flies to Maria hand and she grabs it to read I'm running away love Draugur P.S I took your ice cream

Maria crashing the paper shouts Draugur!!!!!

But stops and laughs as she looks at Eren and says lookk after him would you we can't let our towns devil course chaos

Eren nodding as Emily walking rushes to untie Lyra and says what happened here

Michal his tone flat and not worried says Draugur ran away as if he was talking about the weather

Emily shocked her yelp echoing across the church

A few hours later

Deep within a calm forest where the leafs are a bright green and animals lively

Draugur now wearing a brown cloak sighs as he walks he thinks I can't believe I had to buy my own side bag for this I could have used that money to get on an air ship as he takes out a paper from his pocket

Let's see I have to get four fire boars for the butcher before I had out since I'm down to only one gold coin he said aloud

As Draugur stops his senses on high alert rolls down narrowly avoiding a black slash that cuts down a few trees

As a tall muscular man with hair that stands on end walks through the benches with a cigarette in mouth and wearing a forn robe with the symbols of a bear and axe over his vast and black pants

The men huffing out smoke says your not the guy I'm looking for sorry about that

Draugur shouting in anger sorry you almost fur my head off you meathead if I hadn't dodged that would your sorry bring me back to life

The man now crashing Draugur skull says you talk to much kid I'll probably have to rip your head off

Draugur looks around and stammers no n...need for violence now sir it was just misunderstanding

The man leaning forward his expression serious and cold says good what's your name

Draugur feeling uncomfortable and a bit scared says I'm Draugur you are

The man putting Draugur down says I'm Roger Dante and I'm looking for a shady guy have you seen him

Draugur rubbing his chin says no

Roger grabbing him by the collar begins to run away as Draugur screams this I kidnapping

Roger shouting shut up

As they make their way through the forest Roger killing off must of the direboars as the sunsets

Draugur who as started a fire and is cooking the meat thinks what's up with this guy is he a meathead or something,he attacked everything in sight

As Roger grabbing one stick of meat takes a bite and says this is good stuff so tell me about yourself

Draugur pointing to himself as Roger points to him and says yes you

Draugur says will there isn't much to say I'm just on my way to the city to became a knight

Roger laughing says you without any magic that's funny but okay then you what to became a mystic knight

Draugur huffing says it isn't that funny

As from the forest there is movement and Roger with a wave of darkness puts out the fire and hides in the trees holding Draugur by the back of his collar

As he shhs him

A lean Man with long black hair and wearing a black cloak with silver eyes looks around and says I thought I had noise coming from here was he walks towards a tree his codex open as he says reveal

As with a shiner of magic a door suddenly appears and with a devilish grin he opens it and walks in

Roger says listen to me do you have any weapons

Draugur slowly raising his fist

As Roger sighs and says great will let's hope you can use them

As without hesitation he runs into the for before it closes as the door disappears

With a bright flash of light and loud crack

Draugur falls face first as Roger lands in his feet in a massive treasure filled room as

Draugur rubbing his face says ouch

The man who's been taking the artifacts in the cave glances back and says I thought I had a few birdys what brings you here mystic knight

Roger stepping forward says oh you know beat you up collect the gold the usual nothing fancy

Draugur his borrowing from the mountains of gold coins fills his patch

The man laughing says you honestly think you can defeat me Sera Delo master of the iron chain

As small portals appears with blades with chains shooting out

Roger dodging all of them draws a single edged blade and hits the blades way

Draugur looks to see there's a few gains coming his way as he attempts to dodge but one of the chains hit him

Sera's Tilting his head thinks my magic allows me to drain the ether of anyone it hits but that brat doesn't even have any as he smiles widely and an presence of malice fills the cave I'll kill the best first he shout confident in his abilities as the chains turn into a spike ball he says chain magic chain ball of death

As the spine ball flies towards Draugur

Draugur wide eyed and stepping back think I can't dodge this as a circle of darkness appears around him

Roger his codex now floating besides him says dark magic dark barrier

As a barrier of darkness appears around Draugur

Roger says what the hell are you doing daydreaming get your head in the game moron or you'll end up die

Draugur holding his right arm that's her. Whipped by a chain thinks his kinda right but what can I do as his codex floats up from the side bag and opens to a page with the drawing of a pitch black fist and runes

Draugur looking at his hands as they turn a shadowy black thinks this is like that time with that monster

Sera eyes widening thinks wait a minute he didn't have any ether what's going on

As his chains whip out towards draugur but Draugur dodges and closes the gap as he lands a punch to Sera's stomach forcing his chains to disappear as sera gasps he is sent flying into the wall

Draugur looking at his fist as his jaw downs he says whoa I'm crazy strong the shock evident in his voice

Roger looking at him says almost to freakishly strong

Roger thinking an enhancement spell and that pubch also knocked out Sera's magic

Sera getting up coughing blood thinks what the hell was that an attack that nullified my magic similar to this one's do they have the some affinity no matter I'll just create with aloud gasp Sera's looks up to see a massive foot over head as the image reflects off his eyes he is crashed and his blood splatters all over the floor

Roger shocked holds his head before pointing at the massive figure with his blade says you Bastard do you know how big a bounty was on they morons head of course you won't your a freaken statue

Roger looms at Draugur and says listen up we need to kill this guy this is the dungeon keeper I think

Draugur shocked says you think as a blast of energy stands them both flying back

The statue with a crown and robe like design smiles as he walks towards them it's eyes glowing a piecing red as beams blast out

Roger now carrying Draugur runs across the wall thinks the kid is still green but he must have his uses as Roger sees a one edged sword with a pitch black blade he grabs it and throws draugur into the air as he dodges a punch from the statue

Draugur caughting the blade says what am I supposed to do with this

Roger sighing continues to run around says Look at that you able to think now use that sword to keep big statue over there busy or else we end up like Sera's over here

As Draugur looks to the side sees the remains of Sera's the only thing partfully here is his head

As Draugur cringes he thinks okay do or die

As Draugur glows a light red with black particles

Roger thinks when face with a dire situation like this one people often have two reaches panick or frozen but this can also awake a person's latened abilities in this case the kid as a varient of dark magic which he asnt mastered but as Roger smirks

Draugur with inhuman speed runs and spins around to he states from to them should as it's arm is cut into cubes Draugur mid air thinks wait I did that ad he shifts his body and blocks an attack from the statue with the flat side of the sword he is sent flying back but he lands next to Roger

Roger Handling his blade up into he sky says dark magic dark veiled lifeless slash as the statue is split into too ad Roger arcs his blade down

A bright light fills the room as they return to the forest

Roger sighing takes out a cigarette and lights it with his lighter sighing in relief and says that was course are you okay kid

Draugur Laying down groans thinks I did it I actually used magic or maybe it was just lucky and the stars look so beautiful tonight

I'll catch up to Eren and Lyra

The scene shifts to an air ship in which Eren and Lyra seat as the air ship over head a massive city filled with lights and smoke

As the driver shouts last stop the city of twilight in the common realm
