Curse

Divinity approached the Inn with caution, an angry mesmer/necromancer named sk33zl0w walked out in a hurry, with a mysterious, wry smile. Best to stay out of his way, Divinity thought. Hoping to seek directions, Divinity entered the Inn.

As she walked through the doorway, a short, heavy-built man whistled. Knowing that she couldn't let anyone know of her powers, it was forbidden for females in her village to wield arcane powers, so she smiled and avoided eye contact with the man. The bartender was busy watching an arm wrestling fight, so Divinity approached an older man sitting in the corner. He looked up at her and smiled. Before she introduced herself, he told her that she should leave now. This man is crazy, thought Divinity. Divinity noticed the staff hidden beneath the old man's coat, with the same symbol on it as hers. Divinity never knew what the symbol meant, and before she could ask, a loud, booming voice demanded for gold from the bartender. As people began to make a run for it, the abnormally tall man conjured a frozen prison over the peasants. He had missed a few, who tried to still run, and he shot a block of ice, knocking them down. The most incredible part was, that the man was not even using a staff or wand, but it appeared that his powers were coming straight from his hands. The old man rose from his chair and hovered in the air, also, using his hands to unfreeze the peasants. However, his plan backfired. His fire had burned the peasants, who were screaming in agony. Divinity jumped onto the table, and purged the peasants with her forbiden powers. The were dazed and confused, but alive. Her spell took all of her energy, and Divinity fainted, falling to the floor with a crash.

Divinity woke up, in a dark, moist cave. There was nothing but darkness and the dark siloutte of the old man. She had just remembered of what happened, but couldn't seem to make any sense of it.

"What you did back there . . . and that man, how is it possible to use magic without a staff or wand?" asked Divinity, trying not to stutter. The man smiled. He handed her a loaf of bread. "Thanks..what's your name?" "You can call me Dangwulf" "My name is. . ." Divinity, said Dangwulf. "How do you know that?" asked Divinity, alarmed about her safety. "I know because I've known you since you were a little girl, which you still are" smiled Dangwulf
Divinity, with a confused look on her face, was ready to ask how.

I've known you since you were a girl, because I too, lived in Saphire city. I noticed your powers when you were trying to get past the river, and simply raised it. Now, I'm just as confused as you are, on how you got your water powers when Saphire City is purely Fire Magic. You, along with that man at the Inn, are the only ones that still posess these powers. The man that we saw at the Inn is evil, his name is Draken. His powers, like mine, come from his hands, because he's one of the four Arcane Gods. I, am the fire God, and he is the Water God. His powers are greater then mine, because I am growing weak. Each of the Arcane Gods have a stone, besides a heart, that gives them the powers to control magic through their hands. Draken is trying to get each stone so he can control all of the powers, which would make him almost invinicable, able to take out masses of armies and burn cities to the ground. What I want you do to, is to protect the Arcane Gods and kill Draken. Of course, You'll find help, I will give you a map to an outpost where you will meet a young warrior, who will assist you.

Divinity was dumb-struck. Doubting herself, she began to refuse.
"Divinity, you must do this. For everyone you love, and everyone they love, and everyone they love. I believe you have the courage, bravery, and intelligence to do it."
Now take this map, and follow it's directions. I will stay here, and stay in hiding from Draken. Good luck Divinity, I look forward to seeing you in the future.

Divinity couldn't believe it. Why, must she be the one to "save the world" Why did I ever run away from my village, when I didn't have to worry about Evil men and Gods and whatnot. What Divinity saw next reminded her of why she left her city. Two boys were picking on a small girl, who couldn't light a fire. "Haha, Sara can't make a fire!" teased the little boy.The little girl, apparently named Sara, began to cry and run towards the forest. "Wait!" shouted Divinity, but the girl could no longer be seen. In anger, Divinity began to turn around, and instead of walking back to her city, she followed the directions on the map.

Feedback is welcome!

Even if it's "Get off the stage!"

Finnaly, reaching the outpost, Divinity was relieved. Dangwulf wasn't a crazy man after all. "Looking for a new wand? Need a new sword? You look like you need a new weapon, how's a hammer,or a sword?" asked a abnoxious merchant. "No thanks, I . . ."
"Nevermind I was just joking you look more like a axe wielding. . ." "No really I'm fine" Divinity strode off, hoping to find this person that would help her, and get out of this place. The outpost was a small one, probably only really alive during hunting season. To the right of her Divinity heard cheering and clapping. She peered over a boy's shoulder to see what was going on. Two warrioirs were dueling, one of them with a sword, and the other with a large axe. The man with the sword was obviously well talented with a sword, and was offensively attacking the other man. The man was tall, with a very compact built. He seemed oddly familiar. The man with the sword won, easily and asked if anyone else dared to challenge him. Apparatently there was a bet going on, and everyone had bet on him. Dangwulf had given her no gold, so she decided to give it a shot.
"I will " stated Divinity. The man chuckled and the crowd sneered.
He smiled, asking if she wanted a dance or a fight. She glared, and took off her long, covering robe and revealed her staff. No one has betted money on her, except the man she was facing. As the duel began, Divinity decided to t be the offense one. She ran forward and tried to swing her staff low to the ground, in an attempt to knock him off his feet. He jumped up, dodging her attack. Divinity forgot that she should try and keep her iddentity low, not wanting anyone to know of her powers. She then gave another swing aiming for his right shoulder, yet again he dodged. Divinity then swung towards his torso seing that he was expecting her to try and swing low again, but, to her surprise he still blocked her attack. He then grabbed Divinity and wrapped his arm around her waist, putting his sword to her jaw, and smiled. The crowd cheered and eventually walked away, Divinity still in his grasp. His eyes were staring deeply in hers. "I need to go..I'm looking for someone" said Divinity in a shaky voice. "May I ask who your looking for?" asked the man. Suddenly it struck her mind, that could this man, be the one she's looking for? "Do you know anyone named Draken?" asked Divinity. The man looked surprised, then hid his feelings. "Dangwulf sent you, didn't he?" "Yes, are the one that's going to help me?" "Heh, so is that what Dangwulf said, I'd help you eh. . . Well my name is Ren Darger" "My name is Divinity" "That's a pretty name" said Ren. "I wish I could say the same for you. . ." They both laughed, and Ren brought what seemed to be a map. "I guess the old man thinks we can't do it with just us, he wants us to find a ranger, south of this outpost. I think it's just a waste of time. . . but " Ren was cut off by the sound of crushing water. Ren and Divinity looked towards the sound and saw Draken, who looked like he had morphed into the water itself. The water came crashing down like a tidal wave, crushing anything in it's path. Divinity wouldn't budge, ready to fight Draken now and save the poor peasants. Ren took her hand and forced her to run with him, away from the devastation she couldn't stop.
