The Undead City
GoldenGFX
There I was.. in front of these Mossy Ruins.. There was two others there, an elf, and an orc. :: The Orc was lost in though, the Elf acting strangely. He was offering me a house to stay, over and over.. I was declining this offer, as I knew something lie under these Ruins. :: Suddenly, the orc.. spoke. He told us of them.. the undead, being in his head. He was being tourtured, and we couldn't help. I ask the Elf to leave, as he was not helping the situation, and he refused. :: The Orc was driven mad, and he stabbed himself. I was angry at the Elf, I blamed him, and I felt bad in the end. But I tried to leave it, and he halted me. I stopped, when suddenly, and undead appeared out no where behind the elf. We ran at him, and in a very raspy voice.. he said, "I will be back..." :: He used his soulstone, and dissapeared. Soon, just as he said, he returned, and came out of a wall, that opened by the press of a button. I yelled at the undead, "Open that wall again!" He took out his staff, and tried to kill me. :: I survived, and he did not. I managed to claim his staff as a prize. I camped out there, talking with the elf. I asked him, if he wanted to help, he should stand in the ruins, in front of the opening wall. :: A moon later, the undead returned. He opened the wall, and I dashed by him. Shot down a ladder on the right, down a hall on the left.. when I saw it. A portal to the Nether, and their homeland. :: I stepped inside.. and my bones chilled. I appeared, and infront of me was a spiral staircase, with portals down it. I went down the staircase, to the glass bottom, which had lava below it. Suddenly, I cringed with pain, as it was painfull to keep the Undead out of my head, and letting them abduct me. I entered one of the portals, and I appeared back in Aegis, on their floating city. On a platform that was there, I called upon the Gods, to pin me, my soul, to that location, right outside of the portal into the nether. They listened, and now I can get back there, whenever. :: Eventually, I found a pool of water I could jump into off of the city. I climbed in, and followed the clouds South. Eventually, I found myself back in Oren.    I went to my house in Stoneleaf, and stored the staff of the Undead, and my armour, as I feared that I would lose it because of what the Nether did to my health. :: After storing all my things, I activated my soulstone, and appeared back on the floating city. I went into the portal, and began to collect information. I want down a bridge, and to the left was something called "The Crypt" In "The Crypt" were tombs, and I thought they must be those of Undead.  I got away from there, and went into their library.   The library was empty, as far as I could see, so I continued on. I ended up in their Nexus next.
