How does this work?

Hello everyone

Holy crap this looks complicated. Wish I had more time to understand it in-depth.

[Ring of the lost urges you to head east]


After the fight, Lishro drowned her sorrows and yours with more of her warm drink. She shared some stories with you about her homeland. She also commented on the man she was looking for...this Honorable Giznru. Her unyielding hope at finding him was truly something.

With a brave eastern warrior by your side, you felt more able to face what was lurking ahead. The cries grew louder and louder. It was unbearable.

"Fallen Corris awaits us in the south, A boat is our sole way of getting there..." the woman had some hard time while the cries echoed through the air.

You found an emberless ash to you east. It brought you some sort of comfort. Unlike you, Lishro was not bound by the ash. She have one life and one life only. You took this fact into consideration.

There was no time to waste; you proceeded downwards to the south. You found a strange dead creature clutching to a small wooden chest. It resembled an elongated fly with various limbs and wings covered in slime.

You approached the chest with caution. Surely the dead wouldn't mind you stealing their belongings.

You found:

Crimson Robe

A lavish robe worn by the flies of Esrin. The city of trinkets and wonders. Despite its luxurious look, It was worn by the poorest of flies. One can only imagine the true treasures of Esrin.


"I know their Ilk, hoarders of wealth....they waged various wars to fatten their treasury. Like many before them, they succumbed into nothingness thanks to their greed." Lishro was disgusted by this creature.

You and Lishro headed further down south. At some point, the cries toned down just a little bit. you didn't know why.

"Look! A boat!" Lishro was excited to spot one not too far from your position.

Next to the boat lied a small infant. He didn't look normal by any means; his face was irregular and deformed, A single horn sprouted from his head. A somewhat large and slender arm with three digits was hidden under the infant's wrapping. The infant was squirming and crying but it was bearable to approach him, unlike before...

As you were getting closing to the infant. Someone erupted from the water destroying the boat in the process.

"NO!" Lishro cried, she immediately drew her spear in sheer anger.

A tall slender woman in a tattered white dress grabbed the infant with care, her skin was pale and wrinkly resembling a drowned corpse, it was oddly similar to the infant. Two unnatural horns sprouted from her forehead.

She lowered a part her dress to expose her breast for the starving infant, He suckled it in pure joy. She stared at you both for a while giving no reactions towards you until Lishro threw her spear.

The bride immediately turned with grace taking the spear in the back; otherwise, it would hit the infant. The bride screeched in pure rage sending a quake across the sea.

Another figure rose from the sea. He looked more human than her, He had a crown sewn to his head by force. Most of his orifices were sewn as well. His armour was once majestic but now it was rusty, brimmed with slime and corals. He possessed one arm only which held a greatsword with a design similar to your Corris longsword.

The prince kissed the forehead of his infant as well as the bride before priming his sword against you.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" The eastern warrior was clearly mad at the bride, She charged towards giving little concerns about her personal safety. The Bride clearly didn't want to fight her as she back away. She was conjuring something with her free hand.

The Fallen prince gave you no rest or pity, He growled with each swipe. He was bit slow on his feet though. With no eyes, he was solely relying on sounds to fight you.

You managed to parry the prince despite your clumsy attempt. You clutch coin has turned into dust

Before you could do anything, the prince puked more slime on you heavily hindering your movement. You couldn't see what was going on with Lishro and the bride. but you heard the cries of the infant.

Your sword made its way past the rusty armour of the fallen prince onto his chest after a swing of his. The prince growled in pain, he refused to die just yet. He Stabbed his sword to the ground before grabbing and smashing you to the ground. Such impact broke a rib or two but the rush of the battle cleansed you from any pain.

The fallen prince grabbed his sword and went towards the bride who was having a hard time protecting the infant during Lishro's fast and ruthless attacks. The bride has already sustained various wounds from Lishro's small katana.

You mustered some strength to stand up. The eastern warrior was pinned down by the bride and prince yet she was holding her ground. The slime has worn off, thankfully.

With your long sword, you stabbed the unsuspecting bride in the back when she was too busy dealing with Lishro's attacks.

The prince, the bride even Lishro to some extent stopped fighting. The three of them stared at the last moments of the infant as he was struggling to exist with the tip of your swords deep in his neck.

The Fallen prince dropped his mighty sword and approach the dead infant. As he was trying to calm down the trembling bride, A wail of agony escaped her lips. Her skin and flesh were ripping themselves apart, her bones were crackling and reforming....

You and Lishro watched in horror as the bride morphed into a flightless emerald dragon with a long maw and four crippled wings. Her tail was rudimentary and short unlike her long limbs. her scales failed to cover most of her body. Her new body was oozing pus and blood. The horns grew considerably in size...enough to impale you should she had the chance.

The fallen prince bowed before the dragon, He allowed himself to get crushed between her mighty teeth. The dragon gained enough strength to crush you both from the fallen prince.

The raging mother ignored Lishro completely focusing on her child's killer. She hurled towards you stomping and stampeding the ground before her. Her moves were erratic and unpredictable. drawing a weapon against her at that moment is not far from utter suicide.

Your dodges were slow compared to Uzn's fast pace; A shockwave sent you flying before landing on the slimy ground. You broke another set of bones; the shield felt too heavy for your to maintain as well as the greatbow strapped to your back. You had to lay off both of them in your current state.


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Lishro showed ultimate courage as she slashed the right hind leg of the sodden mother. It was far from a crippling wound but It sure grabbed the attention of the emerald dragon.

The emerald dragon turned herself to face the nuisance behind her back. She breathed green fire at the eastern warrior who would have been turned into crisp if it weren't for her dodging skills. Unsatisfied, The sodden mother rushed toward Lishro swinging her mighty claw at the eastern warrior.

Lishro was panting heavily; her heavy armour was somewhat hindering her. Her midsection was bleeding. She failed to notice that in the rush of the battle.

The sodden mother sensed your clumsy approach to her hind, A single tail swipe left a grave impact on your ribs. With nothing but soft tattered cloth to protect your innards, you faced a grave injury....

Your lungs were heavily punctured. You collapsed on the ground trying to maintain a steady breath. Your broken body gave Lishro enough motivation to face this abomination straight on. She stood strong; for her death would be the end of you as well.

Her crimson hair flailed wildly with her blood the further she fought the dragon. Running was never an option. She would stand and fight until naught was left of her.

Your vision fluttered as your were witnessing the emerald dragon facing the courageous eastern warrior. She bellowed at the abomination with never-ending determination.


[1-17]= the death of Lishro
[18-20] = The death of the sodden mother

"KOLAAL!! MIKERM FOLAAL!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Lishro ignored all injuries and charged onwards. Her small katana glowed red harmonizing with her rage and power.

The eastern warrior started with a gashing slice to the dragon's front leg. As the sodden mother was trying to gnaw the little pest, Lishro sprang onto the abomination's scaly face repeatedly stabbing her left eye.

The dragon withered in pain. Lishro quickly jumped off before she would get crushed under this immense weight. She ran her blade by the other front leg. The dragon couldn't hold its immense weight; the weakened legs snapped in a blink of an eye. Her dragon bones were visible to the world.


Uzn collapsed on the ground, She breathed fire wildly failing to focus on her recent blind spot. Lishro spared no chance; she twisted her katana deep into the dragon's neck. A torrent of blood push her away.

The dragon panicked as the sense of mortality ebbed. She did more harm than good while trying to stop this gash. Soon, the Sodden mother made a large thud where her head collapsed. Trickles of green embers escaped her maw in poor attempt to harm the victor.

The sodden mother was no more.


__________ YOU DEFEATED __________

+50,000 Souls

Three brilliant souls escaped this scaly shell. Lishro quickly grabbed them before running towards your. She was wounded, yes. But not as bad as you; your body was wrecked beyond measure.

"No...I..." the Dragonslayer did not know what to do; she didn't know any miracles so did you.

>Urge her to kill you, infrom her of Kesp

In your stuttering breath, you explained your role as a vessel of ash and how you are bound to this world until your role is fulfilled.

Lishro nodded. She didn't like this, delivering the final blow, but she understood. You were already struggling as it was.


"close your eyes.....and forgive me..." You managed to stand up. You closed your eyes as you were told.

You were rendered headless the moment after.

_________ YOU DIED _________


You were reborn once again near the emberless ash. Lishro was already waiting for you. The savage garb was pretty much useless at this point and so you had to put on the lavish and comfortable Crimson robe.

"This...Kesp said that your words are not on par with his agreement. I found truth in his words....I allowed him to take all of the great arrows.... We spoke together on the way back to this pile. He was very gentle. Poor creature." Perhaps this wasn't the best thing to offer to the bastard.

Sadness was written on her face "The boat is destroyed. I suppose we have to find another mean to reach fallen Coris." She paused briefly pulling out three wondrous souls of the father, the mother and the infant " I haven't consumed these; i was waiting for your saying on this one...."

The souls were:

Soul of Ioa, the fallen prince.
Soul of Uzn, the sodden mother
Twisted soul of the infant, the last seed of Coris

>Take none
>Take all of them
>Take two of them
>Take one of them

>>145185
Least take Ioa, we did duel him to the death in a way.
the baby doesn't count, we accidentally became baby killers which in turn made us one step closer to becoming Guts
also let's read the other two souls before we Lishro uses them

The eastern warrior gave you a gentle smile "From where i come, we refuse the crave for wonderful souls. W-I have seen what they done to simple folks turning them into mindless beast...but i trust them in your hands. Just...don't fall in their madness."

Lishro handled you all the souls.


>Soul of Ioa, The fallen prince

Soul of desperate prince, consume it to gain lots of souls. Or perhaps....

The prince of Coris was the last hope of his kingdom. The women in these lands were too weak to bear children; all of them had a withered womb cursed by the unknown. His kingdom would have died one way or another....


>Soul of Uzn, the sodden mother.

Great soul of an abomination, consume to gain lots of souls, or perhaps....

And so the fallen prince asked aid from an ancient serpent. The serpent guided the prince to corpse of a dragon unscathed by time and hidden deep in the Ossuary of Coris. The prince was given the means to mold a woman out of this great carcass....Uzn.

>Twisted soul of the infant, the last seed of Coris

Twisted and Malicious soul of an infant which doesn't belong to this world. Consume it to gain souls, or perhaps....

And so the last of Coris was born after years of impotence. The infant brought naught but bloodshed and war as the kingdom was split into two factions; one that consider this thing an utter blasphemy while the other considered the infant and his mother as a miracle.

It didn't matter, the kingdom was led to ruins. The infant spent years and years in his current state waiting for the warmth of his father and mother. The love for their child bounded the father and the mother in this barren world.

Lishro clutched to her wound. "I am...in no state to continue onwards. i will head back to the sanctuary for a brief respite. May safety steel your side, friend."

>Accompany Lishro back to the sanctuary

"Well.... I am honored to walk by your side. Thank you." The dragonslayer blushed slightly.

You took it very slowly. Thankfully, none posed any threat to you two. Still, you were on your guard.


As you were approaching Ashen end. A small portal spawn a blue spirit of vengeance in a strange leather outfit. He possessed an absurd.... crossbow which resembled a long tube with a wooden handle.

The blue spirit noticed your hostility "No need for unpleasantaries; I am searching for a sinner...a man donning a silver mask and gauntlet...have you seen him?"

"Thank you, I will rain just on his soul. Here, something to guide you." The spirit handled you x20 prism stones , he left you in peace.

The road to the sanctuary was devoid of dangers. As soon as you reached its safety, Lishro collapsed on the floor. The firekeeper rushed to aid the woman.

You left some space for them. After an hour or so, the firekeeper said that the eastern warrior should recover from her wounds in a couple of days. She only require rest as of right now.

You drew strength from the firekeepr. You felt more able to face the lied ahead. The firekeeper wasn't aware of the kingdom of Coris and its tragedy. She showed a bit of disappointment in this pursuit of the crow of Coris; Seeking Yurex west of Pilgrim's wood was supposed to be your primary concern for this former vessel of Ash would give you more insight about how to defeat the other vessels.

The news of the brand troubled the firekeeper greatly. She urged you to get rid of it as soon as possible lest all would be lost even if that meant sacrificing two souls to the strange creature at Ioa's sea.

You were covered by bore as you did naught in the following days, at least they were peaceful ones. Lishro had fully recovered, another scar joined the rest or so she said. She didn't want to intervene with your journey; she said that she would find another way to Coris....then she would call for your help. She left the sanctuary thanking you and the firekeeper for the hospitality.

Pilgrim's woods lied in the west of Ashen end. You departed the sanctuary in haste. You reminded yourself not to kill any of the vessel should you encounter them with the brand on your hand. You must get rid of it soon.

As you approached them, the pilgrims cowered before you in fear, they curled up like a shivering ball.

All but one.

This hollow looked at the bridge not too far from here. He screamed briefly before curling up as well.

Soon you hard a heavy breathing radiating from the bridge. A dark figure sprinted towards the pilgrims performing a magnificent leap to stand between you and them.

Said figure was once a woman. She was missing an arm while the other held a mighty curved sword which was somewhat fused to her arm. It was oozing black substance on the ground. Her head was barely resting over what remained of her shoulder. An Iron mask obscured her face. The dark figure had a pale, sickly and limp body. You felt like the sword was controlling her movement. Her clothes were tattered, it was worse than your former savage garb.

The malicious shard took note of your brand. She lowered her curved sword. The Pilgrims stood up, with the Shard accepting you, They continued their pilgrimage.

You accompanied the pilgrims to the shrine where you were guided by stronger hollows to High Shard Sordine's private chamber.

"Ah, I see that you are back..." he spoke softly giving you little chance to ask for Yurex "Your mean of departure was....odd and unexpected. So back again, Will you pledge yourself to the dark lord? will you forsake the lie?"

High Shard Sordine offered us a 'gift' after bringing one of Silverarm's victims who was a dark pilgrim back to the shrine , he said that this gift will allow us to pass freely in areas controlled by shard like the start of Pilgrim's woods with Shard Yerne.

However, the true purpose of the brand as stated before is to smother any soul acquire from the five vessels (The Holy dreams of Livendagen . Holy Knight Lukus. Loaane, the unsavory beast and The charred failures.) who are required to rekindle the age of fire alongside with your very soul, Vessel of Ash.

Hey OP, you're getting better at this. Just one thing, stop using "somewhat" as an all-purpose word, it means "a small amount/to a lesser degree". While all uses so far being technically correct, it makes you look like an ESL when you overuse it, like reading a manga translated by Pinoys. It will do your writing and vocabulary good to write more accurate descriptions (or simply forgo it, since you won't lose any detail by doing so) rather than hand-waving them away with vague words. http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/somewhat

You left the Sanctuary with uneasiness brewing in your chest; this high shard....he was not to be trusted and yet you crawled back to his web. You hoped for the best in the future. While you could not see it, you felt the dark brand churning inside your hand. It must be removed or all would be lost.

You left the barren lands of the Ashen end and crossed a long wooden bridge leading to Pilgrim's woods. Shard Yerne was guarding the other side. Her limps and head were twitching but that was it; she was as docile as those Pilgrims. She granted you a safe passage.


______ Pilgrim's woods _______

The woods reeked of darkness, everything around you was pungent and withered. Cold, ancient trees covered most of the area, they challenged the very sunless skies. Silent crows watched every step of yours....

All of their eyes were plucked out

Something was unsettling about them. Not a single caw escaped their twisted beaks. Ravenous infection ran wildly in their orbits. You spotted some dead crows on the road.

They had eyes, bloating and bulbous.


Moving on, You found an emberless ash at the start of the road. The main road has split into two path, one to North, the other was to the south.

You could venture outside of the road but you didn't know what lied hidden in these dark woods.

(Cont.)

You heard a distinct tapping inching towards you. From the trees, An old man with a wooden cane edged near you. He had a bloody blindfold covering most of his face, his tattered garment was sleeveless exposing his charred arms. He didn't seem to bear any weapon.

A peculiar Eye sprouted in his left thigh, It was guarded by a small cage of iron. The eye gazed at you with a gleam of curiosity.

The old man spoke "Aaah, yet another who dares to enter the lair of Wick Qurso . the hunter who injured the unsavory beast You are not a hunter....you are not a pilgrim....have you come to your death, my boy?"

>inform him of your goal
>say something to him
>say nothing
>attack him
>something else?

>>149743
>inform him of your goal

>>149761
The old man laughed mocking your words "What a clueless fool you are; not only you would require to best the Hunter of eyes....you would also need to descend into the The eater of names . Madness....utter madness Heyahaeha!"

The old man paused for an inappropriate cough "But....but i may help you while you are here. Grant me your eyes lest the hunter of eyes claim them. I will safe keep them until you end him. You may want to acquire the bell...it will guide you in your sorry state. I will sell it for you....for all of your souls.." the old man bared a toothless grin, a greedy one.

>Grant him your eyes, buy the bell
>Grant him your eyes only
>Buy the bell only
>Attack him
>Something else

>>149894
>Grant him your eyes, buy the bell
Jokes on him, we can revive our self with eyes and we already used most of our souls.

>>149981
Once you gave him your souls, The old man didn't waste a second, he pulled out two embalming tools hidden in a pocket on his side. You allowed him to spoon your eyes before pulling them out .

You collapsed on the ground withering in sheer agony. The old man dropped the bell next to you "Pleasure doing business with you, young one. When you best the hunter of eyes, do find me...I will be around, Heayahaaha!!"

>Bell of guidance

An old bell of unknown origin. Use it to draw a crude image of surroundings. can also function as medium for miracles

It took you a handful of minutes to swallow the pain. You slowly stood up, shaking a bit from this traumatic experience.

It wasn't easy but you took your first blind steps onwards to the unknown. You had to ring the bell every minute or so to interpret what was around you. you marched with your Coris sword in one hand and the bell in the other. The blind crows were following you, jumping from one tree to another in silence
Another crossroad awaited you.

This forked road was different; a large chasm separated this road, it went through some parts of the woods as well. All of its edges were glittered with only white prism stone. There were some balls of light radiating from the center. A soft breeze escaped this gaping hole, it carried a putrid smell.

As you turned your back, you found yourself facing an odd creature. It resembled the fly corpse you encountered earlier in Ioa's sea. While it had a bald head with a relative human face, it also possess two large Visual complexes on the sides of its head. It was a bit surprised to see you.

"Oh, I...well-hmm. Salutations! I am Snitches, Snitches the fly! . Dare I say you have glaring problem?"

The fly touched the side of your lavish robe "Your pockets....they are thin as air! unacceptable, my good man. have this, fill your pockets a bit!" He handled you a clutch coin

"There is more where that come from;this chasm.....it holds a fine stash of treasure, I was going to fly down there, claim it for myself but since you are here and all, we might share it together. Come, have a gander. It will shimmer you blind!"

You approached the chasm. There were dozens of corpses down there, most of them belonged to those pilgrims of the dark.

A snigger escaped Snitches' lips, before you could turn your back. A powerful kick sent you to the depths below. The corpses cushioned your fall but you broke your right arm in the process.

"Gullible, the lots of you! Just stay tight, my good compeer; Stripping trinkets and odds from your corpse.....the is the REAL treasure muah! mwahahaee!" Snitches laughed at your misfortune.

"And you, you filthy maggot, I brought you some company...See? your prayers were finally answered, hehehahaaheee!!!"


______CHASM OF VORREM ______


It was pitch black down here, it mattered little with the bell. the balls of light were actually some odd floating dark weeds with a bulbous light at the end. There was a lonely Maiden weeping next to only source of light available.

>Approach the Maiden
>Ignore her, try to find a way out.

>>150353
Wow, this was TOTALLY not foreseeable. Not like I was trying to be cautious or anything, we just had to trust this new creature while being almost basically blind just because we had no souls, right?

The fly hovered about the chasm "Still moving, are we? A friendly advice, Stay put. There are spiders deep in the chasm, they are not fond of visitors." soon, Snitches buzzed away leaving you in a terrible state.

You approached the maiden . Her legs were badly shattered and infected

"Thank the gods. Y-you are not him. I was so foolish to trust him; i thought he was true about an injured traveler. I doesn't matter now. This place...it belongs to the abyss. I can't hear the voice of the divines. I can't see their holy light.... There is no hope for me here. I beg of you, Kill me. Take my soul and burn it in the awakening chapel so i can rest with my sisters. I don't want my soul to be tainted by the abyss. Please....please..."

Despite her objection, you carried the broken maiden. She was terribly light in weight. She had no strength left in her anyways.

There was but one path ahead of you. It sank in total darkness. You had to constantly ring the bell to acquire a relative accurate image of your surrounding. This drew the attention of the monsters down below. You ought to escape this chasm as soon as possible.

Carrying the maiden and withstanding the pain from the fall took a toll on your health. You were growing tired with each second.

A narrow catwalk awaited you at the start of the path. It was a bit slippery with black substance. The maiden has already fainted; she was probably stuck here for a couple of days.

You took a deep breath and started to take tiny, careful steps.....

You were barely able to cross the catwalk, on the other end. You almost slipped to your death. The clutch coin has turned into dust . You found a large double door and a small path to your right.

The large double door was guarded by a spider like creature who had a black web near the corner. It was very small, barely bigger than your head.

"Aaah, I sense it....the dark brand. You are no foe...and yet...." you found eagerness in his words "....pray tell, who are you? This Chasm of old is for molding the shards into better servants for the dark lord, you are not supposed to be....hmmm.... who is this wounded maiden? the dark does not welcome the likes of her...."

"What a series of unfortunate events!" the spider exclaimed "The fly with a crooked nose has been disturbing my delicate sleep. I could track him and eat his face but i am bound to this place.A shame really"

He paused "I sense some twisted souls in your little box, human. My sister used to make dark magic out of powerful souls. If you do see her. Give her this."

The spider gave you an Ivory fang.

>An Ivory fang

Belongs to a nameless spider in the chasm of Vorrem. Nothing is special about this fang

"I suppose you want to find a safe exit, no? normally, i would politely inquire your souls but who am i to pesk a branded Vessel.... Now heed my words very carefully, from this lonely path, head straight onwards. There is an illusory wall on your right ,strike it and claim all the treasures for yourself. Make sure to wear the helm with the eye on the way out. There are a couple of branching paths. Do not enter them; my brethren aren't as civil as i am, head straight to the lift and you will find yourself in Ashen end, good luck!""

>Red Scale set
A set worn by Honorable Giznru. A famous mercenary from the eastern kingdoms. Absorb fire damage.

Giznru was always accompanied by a small red snake. After losing one of this arms to a reptilian foe, the snake Ieyo, offered his eyes to forge a fearsome helm which will scare any reptile.

The set is terribly weak against lightning.

>Red Scale Katana [20 DEX required]

An exotic Katana forged in the eastern lands. very fragile but can cause excessive bleeding. Better used as a two handed weapon.

Honorable Giznru was hired to end a puss of the abyss down these chasms. He ordered his snake to watch over this lift while he would cleanse the area. The snake waited ages and ages for his master to return.... perhaps one day he will reunite with his master

>Banner of Hanshira

>Gaping ring

A peculiar ring made from wood, tainted with blood. Absorbs all souls in the vicinity. A transcription was written inside the ring, it said:

To my beloved, let this ring ward you from the evils of the soul.

You did find the lift. You surfaced at Ashen end where Masterless Ieyo, the snake, resided.

It coiled from fear upon sensing its own eyes. Despite its large size, it was trembling before you.

The trek wasn't easy but you made it the sanctuary. You gasped in relief as you found the firekeeper, She was safe and sound. Thinking about the betrayer left anger on your face.

Again, she rushed to aid the weakened Maiden, It took about an hour for the Maiden to wake up..Since she wasn't surrounded by the abyss, the maiden prayed to her gods. In an instant her wounds were healed. Her devotion must be something to achieve this miracle. She was awfully exhausted, she delved into a well deserved sleep afterwards. The firekeeper thanked you for this act of kindness.

Bring me wondrous holy souls and i will offer them them to the gods....or perhaps, i can try to cleanse evil souls....Afterall, that was our purpose..."

An elegant bow was strapped onto the corpse's bloating back with a handful of arrows scattered around the hunter. They were a bit far from the main road though....your constant ringing would fail in keeping you conceal in any scenario.

The crow with the dagger flickered its broken wings before diving straight towards you. While the dagger was blocked by your shield, his beak wasn't; it tore a decent chunk of your right cheek. You bashed it with your shield to retaliate, It backed away with a bit of satisfaction.

You were outnumbered, you also had to ring the bell every minute or so. The odds weren't in your favour. You picked your first move carefully.

Is it possible to tie the bell around one of our legs?

you managed to slice one of the crow's chest, clutch coin has turn into dust


The crow didn't complain though, it continued to thrust its rapier. The other crows flew behind you and grabbed you in haste only to drop you from a semi-hazardous height as you grew unstable under their clutches.

Luckily, you clung to branch as you dropped hard on the ground. Your crimson robs became tattered, quickly, you tied the bell to your leg with a piece of cloth. It was for the best.

The crows slowly circled around you , the crow with the rapier was a bit sluggish with black blood dripping from his deformed chest but he was still strong as ever. The crows charged in unison.

You chose to flee from these bastards, You were reckless, unaware of your environment. Your feet have betrayed you as you plummet straight to the ground. Something must have tripped you.

The crows were quick on their feet and wings, they caught up with you with ease. The one with the rapier stabbed you in the abdomen, He drew his rapier from your wound, his broken beak was about to peck you to death.

Suddenly, A chilling scream to the west shook the whole woods,While remaining still, you noticed something very important.

The bastards had eyes....


A mighty Javelin was thrown from a great Distance, It barely missed the crow with the rapier as it and its brethren backed away in terror. The Javelin had eyes sprouted from every inch but the tip.

You heard some heavy and slow footsteps, A towering man inched towards the crows. He wore a bloodied leathered armour with various eyes stitched to it. That wasn't all, his very face had a pelthora of eyes of many origins. All of them dripped black blood.
Javelins were strapped to his back, A twisted spear made out of bones was the man's weapons of choice.


"Haa....aaaa....aaaaaah.....ah" cold air escaped what you presumed to be a mouth. You flinched in shock when the crows plucked out their own eyes . they fled back to the tower.

The man slowly turned to whence he came from, his eye spotted you.....

The old hunter paid no heed to a corpse without eyes. He went back where he came from. For once, you thought the old man was fooling you. You were grateful for his action.

When it was safe, you stood up. You were slowly withering away with this mortal wounds. they crows kept fumbling about at the top of the tower, they were adjusting to their current state.

Blood dripped from your mouth. A hand clutched to the wound, while the other held he Corris Longsword.

Let's see them fight without eyes like us.
It's alright, it's just that I have really bad luck. Also I think the coins even out things so it's fair.

With the hunter gone, The crows have gathered some courage to fly down. The three of them drew their weapons in a defensive stance. They were waiting for you to make a noise to spot you. they were waiting for that bell to ring....

You had to end this soon, lest you would join this pile of crows....
