User blog:Monkee Handz/Traveler's Mark: Chapter 5

...continuing on...
I looked inside in the chest that I opened. Inside was a golden staff, decorated with orate patterns of leaves. It's luster still looks brand new, as if no one has touched it at all.

"What did you find there?" asked the blue warrior.

"Well, I found this cool looking staff here..." I reached out to the staff. As soon as I took grasp of it, I felt a surge of energy flow through me. I felt better than ever. My cramped legs were healed, and my morning grog is gone. This staff is something, all right.

"Looks like you have found your weapon of choice already," said Alma from afar.

"I guess I have," I called back to her.

"Okay, all you need left is your gear, Monkee," said the blue warrior.

"Very well."

"Okay, that should do," said the blacksmith.

I looked at the mirror. I had on lightweight, yet sturdy set of spaulders, armlets, breastplate, and greaves. I kinda looked in it, though I still don't get why Alma is okay with only wearing armlets. "Thank you, sir," I said to the blacksmith as I walked out. I saw Alma and the blue warrior waiting for me out there. "Alright, so am I ready yet?"

"Not yet," said the man, "there's one last thing to do." He brought out 5 gems that gave off a prismatic light. "Your journey wll get tougher out there. Alma can't just be your sole partner forever, you know. That's why I have these gems out. When you have five of these, you are able to summon another person or creature."

Well, he is right. Just the two of us won't endure the "quest" that's yet to come.

"Since you're just starting, I'll give you these gems for free."

Awesome. Another person I can summon. The warrior handed me the gems. As I examined the gems, they were fading from existance, laving a trail of dust on my hand.

"You may summon when you're ready."

I looked at Alma and the warrior. They seemed anxious on what I'm going to summon next. So I closed my eyes, and cried out, "Come out," as I slammed my fist to the ground. The blue light appeared again.
