The Tavern
Ordore and The Jackals had finally made it to The Tavern. The town was the same as Ordore remembers. They walked up to the door and Ordore turned to Eddy and just quickly pointed something out,
"There is a dwarf in here, his name is Karnak Dadas, and he has a thing... for theatrical means. So... what i'm about to do is, well..... out of character." Ordore, hood on and silk over face, burst open the door swinging his arms onto his hips looking at the corner pretending to be the sky promptly and broadly exclaiming,
"I... HAVE RETURNED!". Karnak Dadas got out of his chair, walked towards the group while laughing and grabbed Ordore into a headlock. The Jackals all prepared to fight at the sight of their leader in danger but quickly realized the situation.
Oxton, the bartender served them all up some beer and Ordore asked,
"How much of that do you have?", pointing to the beer. In that rough croaky voice he replied
"nuff to last an entire army, why? you got an army coming with ya?". Ordore chuckled. Eddy took the lead, getting out of his chair walking past Ordore, tapping his shoulder and said to Oxton,
"Something like that...". Eddy walked off into a separate room and as Ordore went to follow, Karnak tugged at his cloak,
"We need to talk kid." His voice being serious, Ordore wasn't sure what was happening, but it was big. Ordore sat back down to listen to what he had to say.
"Listen kid, i like ya, and i'm a very important person. After you left you're friend over there..." pointing to Misala,
"Came by. She wasn't alone. She came into town with what looked like Knights. Now, I thought that meeting was a trap so I did some snooping around. Does the name Luke Dimit, mean anything to you?" That name made Ordore pay closer attention and he simply nodded his head, holding back anger and sorrow.
"He's looking for a young 17 year old, purple haired and purple eyed fellow, now no one is dumb enough to look like that, wait...." he waited for the joke to seep in but when Ordore gave no intention of laughing he knew this Luke guy was personal.
"Watch you're back kid. You know where to find me if you're ever in trouble. Remember, I'm important." again, emphasizing his importance. Ordore, with this new found knowledge didn't know what to think. Anger was across his face, Eddy. Ordore remembered he had to talk with Eddy. Ordore got up like before, but with a lot less life in him.
"About time, we need to discuss about her." Eddy said Ordore entered the room.
"She's coming, look, Eddy, I think shes a knight undercover, be careful." Ordore quickly finished his sentence as Misala walked in.
"Please, don't stop on my account. Continue..." Ordore quickly acted,
"I was just telling Eddy that this mission has now become personal. Someone I used to know is trying to track me and his part of the luminous knights. No information is further needed but this is to personal and I feel like my actions could cause devastation to the mission and in this case, I give Eddy the permission with Misala as my witness, to take command over The Jackals and strip me, Ordore Igbin of any command that I have. Eddy gave Ordore a look but just nodded his head in agreement. Misala quickly added,
"My dear, the Luminites are after every rogue mage. A lot of them have personal vendettas. But what is he going do, track and spy on you?" and then she simply walked away. Ordore and Eddy followed.
The big group met up with The Jackals at The Tavern and they gathered supplies and drank Oxton's horrible beer. The scouting party didn't stay so far ahead, they were actually five minutes ahead of the group.
The Hunters Being The Hunted...
With the invisibility gone the beast became clear. This was no ordinary beat and Ordore could sense great and powerful magic in the air. Ordore heard a noise from his left and turned in time to see the beast lunge towards him. With the whole "Luke" Business Ordore could never die here. His initial move was to teleport him and the beast away to deal with it there but something was different. Ordore never had a reason to keep on living. Going from town to town, stealing food and living in the wild his life was just going passed him. But this vendetta made his will burn brighter than ever. When Ordore went to teleport with the beast something new came out. The beast who was travelling faster then the eye can see was now moving like a snail. Ordore looked around, an saw eddy's arrow almost at a stand still in mid-air.
So, Teleportation works on manipulating space and time around it, what ever this ability is, Chronokinesis, the art of Time Manipulation.
The ability didn't seem to last very long, about 10 seconds but in that time, Ordore manged to walk up to his and with both hands use
Sunfire Ray. A beam of fire exploded the head off of this creature. When the speed went to normal, the ability took its toll on Ordore and his vision was very distort. Collapsing down to the ground. He saw limbs fly and tried very hard to get up, but he merely fainted and laid on the battlefield...
