Chapter 10: A New Adventure ((before to change it if it is 11))




The others had left to go on their separate missions. The bar was starting to empty. Argus, Tiffany, Davik, Diana, Pietro, and Kanick sat in an akward silence.
“Well….” Tiffany said. “We should probably get going.
“Very well, but if I could speak to Argus more a moment?” Kanick asked.
“Sure.”
“Alone?”
“Oh, right. We’ll be outside. Don’t be long.” Davik said, and led the others outside.
Kanick faced Argus. “Well, I haven’t brought it up because of…. What happened. But, now that your parents are…”
“Dead?” Argus said bitterly.
“…You are now the king of Zalace” Kanick finished.
Argus softened. “Well, I’ve been thinking about that too. But right now, I have a mission to complete. For my parents, the whole world even. I may return to be king, and I may not. So….” Argus drew his sword. “By the power vested in me.” He tapped one of Kanick’s shoulders with the flat of the blade. “I dub you, King Kanick. Until further notice.”
“Argus I…”
“I think you will do good in your position, and it might help you to gather more troops. We’ll try to get a message for you when we are ready.”
Kanick wrapped Argus into a big bear hug.
“Till we meet next.”
“Until then.”
Argus turned, and walked towards the door. Before he left, he turned around. “Now that you’re king, you can use our quarters. I would suggest a nice, long bath. Might get rid of the whole ‘undead zombie’ smell.”
“I’ll think about it.” Kanick laughed.
Argus walked outside.
“Ready to go?” Davik asked.
“Let’s go.”


Davik and Pietro led the way. According to them, the base was about a week away. They wouldn’t tell where it was exactly. But it was a secret, after all. They stopped for the night in the next town over. They were once again sitting in a bar.
“Have you ever noticed how all these places look exactly the same?” Argus asked.
“Yeah, kinda creepy actually. It’s like we never go anywhere else.” Said Tiffany.
“Well, this one’s a little different, I has weird abstract animal art.” said Pietro
“Umm…. I think those are living things.” Sait Davik
“Whatever.” Pietro snorted.
“And they’re coming towards us.” Diana pointed out.
“What-”

There were five of them. A man that looked to be fused with a lion, a tiger women, a snake women who looked vaguely like Sasaanak, a man with scales….. maybe combined with a raptor? And….
“What the hell are you supposed to be?” Argus asked the last guy.
“We’re here to kill you.” said the lion-man.
“Well, duh, but what animal is your friend supposed to be like?” Argus asked, pointing at the last guy with an unusually long neck.
The guy mumbled something.
“What was that?” Argus asked with a smile.
“I’m supposed to be a giraffe okay?!?” the guy burst out.
Pietro snorted into his beer.
“Look, I can’t help it! They were running out of cool animals…. I wanted to be a polar bear but…”
“Oh shut up and attack them already!” the lion-man roared.
Argus looked at the others and nodded. The lion-man and tiger-women leapt foreword. Without even standing up, Davik and Argus drew their rapiers. The cat-people skewered themselves on the blades. Diana flicked a dagger through the snake women’s neck, and Tiffany quickly decapitated the rapor-man. In less then 30 seconds, only the giraffe man was left.
“ROOOOAAaarr….” He said.
“Who actually says roar?” Davik asked.
“Boo.” Argus said.
The giraffe man took off running. He was so scared, he forgot to duck, and ran face first into the top of the doorframe. His feet went out from under him, and he landed with a loud thud. They watched as he got up, and ran off, his nose dripping with blood and mucus.
“Poor guy.” Tiffany said.
Pietro hadn’t even looked up from his beer. “Is it just me, or is this happening too often?” he asked.
“Yeah, it’s no fun anymore.”
