Chapter 4 : shatered hope

  After waking up from my good night’s sleep i packed my stuff and continued walking, it was the final day and i barely saw the faint outline of a mountain. It was a long and difficult journey, but I was finally almost there. Just a few more hours of walking and i would be there. In the distance i saw a few paths converging, including mine. And i also saw groups of people going towards crimson mountain, i talked with a few of them and got aqcuented. After a little while some took a break, i wasn't hungry or tired yet so i kept walking and an hour later i decided to take a break as well. Because of that i got left behind by the other groups. But i thought that that would be fine, alas fate had other plans when i encountered the same group that stole from me yesterday. I tried to hide, run, anything. But it didnt work, they saw me and i saw them starting to grin.

  “It seems our little food dispenser has brought us some more food, what do u say we take it and give him a little reward?” Before anything else could happen i lunged at the guy who said that, and punched him in the face. The guy fell down and screamed in pain before he got up again. “Our little food dispenser thinks he can fight back? Boys get him. Break every single bone in his body. Show him his place”

  My bag of bread got stolen again and they beat me black and blue, but this time they didnt stop there, they broke my bones and i might have gotten some minor internal bleeding.

  “Let this be a lesson on your place in the world” was all i heard before i felt myself fall down with a splash and black out. When i awoke my body felt wet and tired, after looking around a bit i saw i was entangled by some strange riverplant, and that my lower body was submerged underwater. Slowly i tried to free myself but it just wouldnt untangle. I saw a pretty big stone heading to me via the river and i started panicking, i tried to free myself but it was too late. The stone hit my left leg and i felt immensepain, so much so that i blacked out.

  When i awoke again i was freed from the plant, and was laying down on a beach. The stone must have brute forced me out of the plant’s entanglement. The only problem was, it was completely dark other than the moon and stars. Shit its night. Im lost and will never be able to get to crimsom mountain on time. Before the sun rose the next day. I cried myself to sleep that night unable to contain the resentment and the sadnes of the events that happened today. And before i knew it my eyea grew heavy and i fell into a deep sleep.

  The next day i decided to see where the nearest city was to make some money and hopefully try again. But when i stood up i saw there was a cave next to me, it almost seemed alive with the way it was urging me to enter. This is very likely either some kind of inheritance or someone or something with evil intentions was luring me in. I decided to enter, but just in case i readied myself to run at any sign of danger.
