The path into the storm continued as the rains opened up and water fell down upon Revan and the ground he walked on. The mud was annoying but still he slashed forward ignoring the fierce lightning overhead that struck downwards around him.
He felt cold yet kept going knowing that whoever needed help would want him to hurry. He just hoped this wasn’t seemingly a fake cry for help like his last attempt.
“Do not worry, you are there.” Paradai said giving him company like he said he would however unwanted it truly was.
Revan stepped over a hill as smoke seemed to fill the air rising up to join the fierce black clouds. Ahead lay bodies and a badly damaged town, stone crumbling and wood burned. Running forward Revan approached the bodies hastily examing them.
Many of the bodies were large bulky green brutes yet some were human, looking fairly low armoured compared to ones he had seen before.
“This is a mercenary band of a race known as orcs, quite brutish and very good at war.” Paradai said appearing ahead over the bodies also peering down at them.
“Did they do this to the town?” Revan asked disturbed by what he was seeing.
“Head into the town and find out for yourself, the answers you seek are waiting.” the figure disappeared again much to Revan’s annoyance.
The town was small and bodies lay about, mostly humans but some other races too.
Revan could tell these races all had shared the town and even now the rain poured and washed away their combined blood, soaking the decaying flesh. Off to the side what looked like a group of innocent people died along with the Orcs that surrounded them.
“The Orcs were here to protect the town.” Revan said aloud upon his realisation.
“Now you’re getting it.” Paradai said appearing beside Revan.
“What did this?” Revan asked filled with a burst of anger.
“Ask them.” Paradai said turning to face a sound that was coming from behind Revan.
The bodies of the fallen all around him began to churn rising up with expressions of hatred, the dead flesh slipped from their bones as they at first shuffled but began picking up speed as they approached.
“I’m surrounded.” Revan said drawing his sword and preparing to face the undead monstrosities.
One of the undead stepped forward and looked him over as if attempting to determine the odds of taking him down. Revan pounced forward removing the head of the unarmed abomination as it collapsed to the ground. The others continued closing in on him, Revan heard a sound from up above and as he looked he saw what he could swear were bows. Arrows rained down upon the undead that surrounded him, barely missing every skeleton fell to the accurate hail.
“Who goes there!” shouted a voice.
Revan looked around but saw no trace of Paradai. “Revan Noctis, I have come to help!”
Whispers could be heard above but before Revan could listen in two blue cloaked figures stepped out of the shadows. One clearly a woman stepped forward to announce herself.
“I am Captain Kalen of the Theguris Ranger company, who are you?” she asked demanding an immediate answer.
“Revan Noctis, I’m a uh prime, I came here to help.” he wasn’t entirely sure what being a prime meant but he knew it meant he came from the Nexus.
“A prime here?” came more voices from the shadows apparently surprised by his answer.
“I came as fast as I could.” Revan said feeling worried for these brave fighters.
Kalen seemed annoyed but understanding of why they had revealed their position and simply raised her hand to silence the whispers. “It isn’t safe here, come with me, it is true we could use your help.”
He felt cold yet kept going knowing that whoever needed help would want him to hurry. He just hoped this wasn’t seemingly a fake cry for help like his last attempt.
