Lundar's Heroes

Featuring: Karum Isabelle Esmeralda Jiswyn

5:04pm... in the land of Eva, led by Elven Lord Lundar, leading five grand cities which contained Elves/Highmen and Dwarves...

Up the trail to the abandoned old keep that was northern of their grand Elven city of Thoran, the four Heroes of Lundar rode on their horses, on their mission to discover the treasure buried there.

The first hero, the leader, was Karum the Azrac Hero. Fine with his scimitar and quick, he was considered the best of the warriors and most powerful and could even cast magic.

The second, Highman Isabelle the Serene, a Highman Hero. She had spell powers and could use her fine Long Sword well.

The third, a Human Hero known as Esmeralda the Human Hero, armed with a Long Sword. Not as procifent perhaps as her allies with combat, she could heal wounds quickly with her natural abilities and could use magic power.

Last and with no magic power, Jiswin the Elven hero, armed with a Bow and with a Long Sword, could fight well and was considered one of the most noble out of the group due to her loyalty to Lundar and being an Elf.

Upon the grassy fields that they pounded upon, Karum pointed to the old ruins nearby that was surrounded by a light moat.

"There..." said the mighty Karum, as he halted his brown stallion, his allies coming next to him. "Lord Lundar told us to explore it throughly"

"Look how... SMALL it really is" Isabelle pointed to it only being a one floor area, like a large town building.

"Ancient keeps... must have been some human work" Karum scoffed.

"What is that supposed to mean, Azrac?" said the beautiful Esmeralda.

"Stop it" Jiswyn shot five arrows to the old gate, as it fell open, leading into it. "COME!"

The four hurried into the keep...

They were now in an area with their horses, torches around... three hallways, north, west and east to go through.

Karum prepared his scimitar, as the rest readied their Long Swords. "Listen, whatever happens, whoever we fight or WHATever we fight, stay near me and do not get separated!!"

"Alright" the three heroes agreed, as they begun heading through the east hallway, the torches hung on the wall...

Screeching was suddenly heard further into the new room nearby, and there was brighter lights, most likely torches in there.

“I think we can handle it!” Karum stated, prepared to lead them in.

“I shall engage it!” Jiswyn rushed into the room with her long sword drawn.

“NO JISWYN!” Karum shouted, rushing after her with a few others.

A four foot Doom Bat appeared, slashing at Jiswyn brutally, as she fell off of her horse unconscious.

As the doom bat was prepared to feast on her with it’s fangs, Karum slashed at it’s head as it fell dead, decapitated.

Karum grabbed onto Jiswyn and tapped at her face lightly. “Jiswyn! Jiswyn!! ESMERALDA GET OVER HERE!”

More screeching was heard, as a Doom Bat slashed at Esmeralda from behind, as she screamed in pain being thrown off of her stallion.

Isabelle slashed at the Doom Bat with numerous blows and slashes, showing great skill with her blade, unfortunately being unable to hit it.

Karum grabbed onto Esmeralda and placed her to Jiswyn, as he prepared his scimitar and jumped up to the Doom Bat and slashed it in half.

The Doom Bat spurted blood all over, as it fell dead.

Karum pounced to the ground, noticing a treasure bag nearby. “Ah ha…, Isabelle, help them, I will take the treasure”

Isabelle begun medical aid on Esmeralda and Jiswyn, touching their wounds and lightly caressing their foreheads. She also begun her healing magic.

Karum ripped the treasure bag open, revealing a Great Shield made of powerful wood. “Impressive”

Karum placed the Great Shield on, and jumped onto his stallion, looking to Isabelle. “Well? How are they??”

Isabelle shook her head. “Jiswyn is unconscious, she took a brutal blow to the head. Esmeralda is poisoned and is very sick, not to mention slashed on the back!”

“What about your healing magic?!” Karum shouted, as more screeching was heard from afar. “Good Nexus this will be interesting”

Isabelle stood, shaking head once again. “Karum, they are injured! They cannot stay here”

Karum and Isabelle took Esmeralda and Jiswyn outside, also their stallions, making a campfire and preparing medical aid once again for them.

After ten minutes, Karum jumped back onto his stallion with his scimitar drawn and Great Shield ready.

“Where the hell are you going?!” The pale faced Highman Isabelle yelled, holding her long sword.

“There are more Doom Bats in there, remember our mission was to CLEAR it, not to just get treasure!” Karum responded, rushing inside.

“Well, I AM COMING TOO!” Isabelle grasped onto her stallion and chased him into the dungeon.

Karum and Isabelle looked to the north, noticing that the room there was completely empty, as they begun to the west, hoping to find more treasure and the enemies.

“What about the other two?” Karum asked her.

“No monsters/enemies are anywhere OUTSIDE of the land of Eva!” Isabelle responded, as they rode into the final torch lit room.

Isabelle rode further in, as a Doom Bat appeared from the ceiling, slashing her at her neck and chest violently.

Isabelle fell to the ground, long sword dropped as well, poisoned and injured.

“DAMN THEE!” Karum rushed up to the Doom Bat and slashed it in half, as it laid to the ground, in a pool of blood.

Karum got off his stallion and held onto Isabelle. “Isabelle… ISABELLE! DO NOT DIE ON ME!!”

“Do not… be so… dramatic” Isabelle moaned, holding her poisoned chest. “Let’s… just get outside”

They stood up as Karum helped her with her stallion, about to leave as she stopped and motioned to the last treasure bag. “Look…”

“This is no time to worry about treasure” Karum still pressed on, as Isabelle very slowly walked to the bag, and emptied it. It revealed a silver ring, which looked very pretty.

Karum grasped her and swooped her onto her stallion. “No more walking or talking” he lead her and their stallions outside, to see Jiswyn taking care of Esmeralda.

“You are… well, Jiswyn?” Isabelle asked her softly, holding chest.

“Are you alright?!” Jiswyn placed a blanket onto Isabelle who was shivering, preparing the antidote.

“Ye…yes…” Isabelle held onto Jiswyn, and sighed. “We… found a ring…”

Isabelle fell unconscious in Jiswyn’s arms, then sighed.

Karum looked to Esmeralda who was healing, and looked to Jiswyn. “The antidote…?”

Jiswyn healed Isabelle of the poison, carrying her. “She will be fine, along with Esmeralda. Let us get back to Thoran immediately, next time we should most likely bring some soldiers with us.”

“Heh… and miss such great adventure?” Karum grinned, getting onto his brown stallion, as they packed up. Jiswyn held Isabelle on her stallion, as Karum maintained Esmeralda on his, as they all begun heading back to the Elven city of Thoran.
