The Secondary Saga

[Jak Mar]

Group 4-IRIS, Grave, Richtoffen, Jan, Crow

I blinked several times. Finally, after many traps and monsters, Richtoffen had found a exit. Could this be a solution to all our problems? I knew better to be positive, being a solider. I knew I bit my tongue several times to keep some of my more rough language to myself. Instead, it happened to come out as something that could actually help our group.

In the tunnel, a large "hisssssss" of darts kept my attention as I avoided them . I did not see this rock coming. Neither did our group. Usually i would be able to dodge something like this, but not today. A large piece of rock had broken off and hit me smack dab in the back of the damn head. The next thing that happened was that i hit the ground fast and hard.

A well timed curse had come out of my mouth "SHIT!" as i tried to recover once again. This injury regardless wasn't going to help ANY of our group's cause.


Just then two large piece of metal hit squishy flesh of two of our group members.


CLANK!
CLANK!


I stepped back and frowned. trying to make sure Richoffen and Crow were fine before stopping to check myself out.

Two large brick… of gold?! What the hell was that doing here? Forgot it… Anything could happen here in this strange world.


IRIS finally spoke up after this time and offered to do some spying for our group. I heard Crow accept and slow down. IRIS left us for a small bit and I reloaded my rifle. I didn't have much time to observe but i did notice Crow's hat was missing. I explained a bit to the group. "Oh,believe me losing a hat is the lowest priority thing we should be focusing on right this second."


IRIS explained about these creatures called Darkspawn. They were our next enemies. What happened next was rather surprising.

IRIS had attached themselves to Crow and now was a strange combination of pirate and machine. This could prove to be good after all. Crow had helped me to my feet and I nodded a brief thanks. I wasn't one for thanks, but in this case this works. I could forget the arguments between our group now.


I looked over at Richtoffen and at least he was moving, but he didn't seem in the right mindset to fight.

Grave picked up Alice and we began to run again. IRIS on crow began to estimate there was 26 of these "Blights" coming at us. We wouldn't be able to fight these creatures head on, plus it was not a great idea.

Sarcasm wouldn't exactly help in a situation like this. Oh well, i guess the saying goes "Stupid questions get stupid answers." I'd only stop them if they started to fight each other which didn't seem pretty likely at least for right now.

We didn't have much time to prepare for the upcoming onslaught. I shoot at a darkspawn trying to come at me in general. The creature's brains splattered on the ground in a second and it stunk the place up. One down, 25 to go.

Wait… IRIS and Crow found a way out and it involved running. I looked to the 5 o'clock position. I pointed out the direction and followed IRIS and Crow, Alice and Grave and Richtoffen toward a way out. Shit was about to fly after all and we all ran our asses off. I'm proud to call our ragtag group "soldiers" but even if a battle was won, the war was never over.
