Aewyn stared out at the waters as the small boat she was on rocked slowly closer to a nearby shore. Robyn was quietly steering the ship with Rick's help while Kara tried to direct them closer without running into any protruding rocks. All manners of thoughts were crossing through Aewyn's mind as she worriedly bit her lower lip.
She didn't know what to expect when they arrived at her home, the Kingdom of Erun. It had been one of the first Elven Kingdoms to fall. She also worried for her sister, unsure of whether or not she had survived her ordeal.
We will find her,
Robyn called out, sensing Aewyn's nervousness.
Aewyn turned and nodded, steadying herself as the boat rocked. The boat had hit the bottom of the seas, signaling for them to hop out. A craggy, stone filled beach awaited them. In the distance, Aewyn could see dark flumes of smoke scattering through the gray skies.
Gods... what have they done...
Aewyn whispered.
The lush green plains were nowhere to be found, replaced by dried yellow leaves, dark soil and the pits of small flames. The once blue skies were now a muted gray, darkening the lands below. Aewyn clenched her fists as she looked at the absolute destruction the Horde had caused.
Uh... wow, this is... something,
Rick grunted as he hopped out of the boat first.
The water was up to his mid thighs and he shivered for a moment. He made his way to the front of the boat and began pulling. His muscles strained as he tried to pull on the boat filled with an Elf, two Human women and a Dwarf.
Tirador! Get out there and help him,
Kara yelled.
I hate water,
Tirador grunted as he crossed his arms and stared at the water.
Yeah, a little help would be nice,
Rick agreed as he glared at the Dwarf.
Why don't you turn into that monster creature that you do? That'll give you enough strength,
Tirador replied.
For the love of the Gods, it's not like a switch. How many times do I have to explain this?
Rick grunted back as he continued to pull.
Rick had a unique ability for a Human. Coming from a small tribe with fantastic stories of a mythical legend regarding a hero in every generation with the ability to transform into a beast; he was among the last of his tribe's male survivors. While initially skeptical, Aewyn, along with everyone else on the boat, barring Robyn, had seen Rick turn into the Berserker. He indeed became a beast of a man who could kill a small army.
Then why don't you cast a spell? Make us fly?
Tirador asked as he stared up at Aewyn.
That would not be a wise use of my mana,
Aewyn replied.
Kara sighed and kicked Tirador from behind, right out of the boat. He plopped down into the water before emerging with an angry roar. The others laughed as he shook his head furiously, water spraying around from his beard and long curly hair.
Damned Human! You don't kick a Dwarf into the water!
Tirador yelled angrily.
Oh shush and push the boat,
Kara responded.
Unbelievable,
Tirador grunted as he made his way to the back of the boat.
Due to his short height, the water was easily above waist level for him. He grunted as he pushed the boat from behind as Rick pulled. Aewyn smiled, momentarily forgetting about the horrors of the Horde. It was the calm before the storm for the small group.
Once the boat was close enough, Robyn hopped out, then Aewyn. Rick caught Kara as she hopped out and carried her to the shore. Tirador shook his head as he watched them.
Love birds,
he mumbled under his breath.
How far out are we?
Robyn inquired.
"It
