This story started in my journal ill keep updating faster in that. The journal is grammaticaly incorrect though.

My name is Derial I’m not but a lowly peasant in the grand lands of Atlas. I am originally from Arcadia which is a different world completely. I will tell you the tale of how I got in this predicament.

I was with the Dante Arrow the best black smith in all of Antiar. We where working on a new style if armored wings for the soldiers to wear in battle. The war against the dragons was getting harder and harder. Every thing just went out the window when the dark elves came and Arther Gardius went missing.

We where using a metallic substance that was new to both of us. When I started to hit it with my hammer, flames sprouted from it and engulfed me. I blacked out and when I woke I was in the middle of these plains with nothing more then the clothes on my back and the hammer that got me in this mess.

I look around and I see this gurl and ya know she looks type cute but I'm in this field of tall grass stuff and she is with her sheep so I have to get her attention some how knameen. So I'm put to the thinkin how do I get this girl to look this way so I sit up and start like thinkin out loud for like two minutes I thought until the gurl came and tapped my shoulder. I was completely taken by surprise that my army training came in. So I jumped up and bowed then saluted her stood at attention and yelled at the top of my lungs "Sir I wasn't taking a nap sir!" the look she gave me was so dumb that I busted out laughing. Then she replied "Umm... ok you have been sitting here for two days straight and I was wondering if you where hungry. My father wants you to come over to our home to tell us what you've been doing in his field."

I didn’t even under stand half the things she said. She looked so good that all I know is that this gurl is taking things way to fast. She wants to take me home to meet her parents already. I don’t think I’m ready for that kind of commitment yet. So I went with her anyway in stead of listening to my better judgment and running away like a little b***h.

As it turned out I could barely walk and would have had to get dragged to her house if it wasn't for my need to hold up my image of manliness. We walked to her home it was like a ranch. She would not shut up on the way there this gurl was nonstop talking but I didn’t ask her to stop cause she sounded so damn cute.

The first thing I thought when I walked in her home was that it was really nice it was so homey and warm and toasty. The second was the man sitting in the rocking chair sharpening his sickle could rip me limb from limb and I better me nice to this gurl or I was a dead man.
I magically learned some manners I’m sure I never had before. I even went to the extent of redefining the phrase 'thank you'. This man had the eyes of a killer behind his nice warm smile. I'm sure he has a heart of pure evil and would eat me alive if the gurl wasn't there. "Hello I'm the owner if this small patch of farm land. I see you've already met my daughter pleased to meet you. Tellin from your interesting attire you must be one of the noble folk how may I help you."

What does this foolish man mean my interesting attire I should take his head of, or at least that is what any noble man except the great Arther Gardius would say. Plus I'm so not a noble is he like stupid. I replied "Um... My good sir what could you possibly be implying I am not one such a man of noble descent and I think nothing spectacular of my attire that would make you assume so."

I so spoke like a noble man right then. I even went as far as having that putrid suckass accent they all seem to have. He started to laugh at this and said "If your gonna act like your not a noble at least stop sounding like a b***h and it’s your fancy red glove that gives you away"
I gave him a really surprised look. No one would dare talk to a noble like that where I'm from not even another noble accept for Gardius, that’s where I even got the term suck a** from. I switched back to regular speak "I dudn't got no fancy red glove so what in ******** name is this s**t you talkin bout."

That is how a regular person talks where I'm from. "Well I guess you aren't a noble after all but I still won’t allow talk like that in my home, speak at least semi literate. Look at your hand if you don’t know what I'm talking about the glove." I looked at my hands and there on my left arm was covered in a glove made from that same s**t a** metal that got me here all red and shiny. Then I fainted isn't life a b***h.

I woke up in a small barely lit room. The source of the light was a sole candle resting on a night stand. Sitting in a chair asleep next to my bed was the girl. She shouldn't have stayed up next to me but it’s nice to know some one here is nice to me. So I deploy my entire army training pick her up and place her softly in the bed as to not wake her. I crept down stairs with out a sound. There still sitting in the chair is the older man but this time he is examining my hammer. It is a well made tool. It is also magic I got it from the great mage Ardiac of the wizards tower said to be the greatest mage of all time.

I walked in front of him slowly and nervously the hammer looked like it was made just for him and not for me it fit in his hands perfectly. He looked up at me glanced at the gloved hand and said.

"Leave my home take and the gurl with you. She is an orphan not my daughter but she don't know that. Don't ask her to go with you let her follow you out on her own I know she will. You can stay here for one more week. I'll take the hammer as payment. Give you proper clothes for this region and some gloves to cover yours. As for food I can’t give you much you will have to make with what I give you. You can have my grand father’s sword he was in the imperial army back in his day. Ill give you all of his army stuff I don’t want it in this house any more. Please take care of my gurl. I just want you to take care of my Marie."

I have no idea why this man just said all this to me. I was only half listening to the old fart. I just realized I had a small fortune in my bag. (I have a bag that I always keep with me. All apprentices have them. They hold all of your worldly possessions in them. So I had a stack of gold from my smithing work. Yay me) "Sir I don’t know what to say. You want to take my hammer I’m a smith that’s my lively hood how am I to make it?"

"I took the liberty of looking in your bag there boy. You've got gold enough to buy a house and feed ten families poor for a year. If you really want a hammer that bad then buy a new one." I turned around to go back up stairs to Marie. Then the old fool had to open his big mouth.

"You’re sleepin in my room boy. I'll show you the way. Your not sleep in with her as long as I'm with you."

"Um...Ok as long as you don't try to sleep with me old man and so you know I sleep on the floor mostly."

He finally stood up properly and his gray mane of hair hung down to his waist. I heard a shuffling sound at the top of the stairs and guessed Marie heard the whole conversation. Crap if she is any thing like me she's gonna stay out of defiance. I want her to come with me. I saw she had a bow. I hope she can use it cause I like to get in to trouble it seems.

Ok so I’m hoping at least with in a year I get to kill one dragon. So I can boost my ego and feel extra manly and sexy. I want to feel it even if it isn't true.

Ok let’s get back to what’s like happening. Anyways this old man is like taking me to his room. Prodding me to go through the doorway first I don't like it I’m so ready to kill this guy. Because it could be a trap but I walk in any ways because he has my hammer giving him the advantage.
Eww his room was like gritty and dirty and ugly and plain. Ok my room back at home wasn't much better. Still I wouldn’t let any one in it because it was so ugly. No monsters are jumping out on the shadows but that doesn’t mean they aren't. I gave them a chance to just to make sure there weren’t any. No pentacle drawn on the floor with an already waiting demon in it. Ok the lack of bad things only put me even more on my guard.

The old man walked in after me and said "sleep" I just got up from fainting is this man retarded. So I flop on the floor. I make sure I take some time to make my breathing regular and seem asleep. When he started to really snore because at first he was fake snoring. I got up and left to prepare for my trip.

I very silently slink into the Marie’s room and grabbed my bag. I made sure I was making enough noise to wake her up. She did and pretended she was asleep. Then I began muttering about leaving.

I went to the kitchen and got food enough for two. For two weeks that farty old man was gonna be cheep. No I'm gonna grab more then I'm supposed to. I grabbed some water skins, that’s what I think we will need the most. I hopped back into the living room to grab another shirt from the old man and guess what? Marie's bow was missing. Good so she is coming.

I almost forgot the sword and stuff. So I had to run back up to the old mans room and like sneak the sword and armor out from his wardrobe. I then dashed down the stairs and out the house. I trudged down the road waiting for Marie to catch up with me.

I kept on walking down the road. Hoping for a troll a goblin to pop up something, anything you know? I hate waiting I just want some action. So I was like running up the trail because I wanted to hurry right into as much trouble as I could. It was getting harder to breath and then all of a sudden it got bright. I was taken aback because I didn’t expect to run right in to a burning village.

There where idiots on horses setting the thatched roofs on fire. YAY!!! I got loads of trouble. I didn’t want to just get up and attack the men I mean they could be burning the houses for a good reason. But that was when I saw a little boy about 7 years old try to attack the men. He of course got smacked back.

That was all of the reason I needed to go in and kill the bad guys but there the bad guys so they like to push it the dude who smacked the boy pulled out his sword to kill him. So I rushed into the village and went to slap the man. This is the cool part. My gloved hand transformed and I had like these cool claws so I ended up ripping the guys head off.

Well you know I didn’t expect that. I mean may be have his neck broke be cause I can slap pretty hard but the claw effect was so cool. I really liked having a magik glove right then.

"What are you doing?" I spun around to here the speaker. Dumb little midget boy who was trying to get killed was obviously retarded. So I just had to reply.
"Dude I'm like saving your behind."
"Well you can just stop I will take care of myself."
"Ok little guy I'm like the hero guy in this epic, alright with you?"
"If your the hero then why cant you tell I'm a were fox?"
"Well real people cant just know these things so we wait for you to tell us."
"Your just an idiot who cant face reality. This isn't a story this is real life."
"Well it isn’t a story yet. I have to finish an oh so masterful quest before the people start to write legends about me. I mean come on I thought that was obvious."
"Well it is obvious that if we keep talking the town is gonna burn to the ground."

Dang it the stupid kid was right. I had to full fill my duties as me and kill the bad guys. I ran up to the closest bad guy punched through his chest and kept going. I like to kill bad guys. So I did a jumping spinney kick into the next one and sent him flying into a burning building.

I start to run around and kill all of the bad guys. Then I stop. "Hey why are all of the bad guys wearing uniforms?" Then the answer from smarty pants. "Because there soldiers of the flame sorceress’s army."

"Ok cool that means she is the main bad guy I guess I have to kill her." He spins around and gives me a very peculiar look. "You can't just get up and kill her! She rules the entire continent! She single handedly killed the old king, his master mages, and whole army!"

"Well that just means I'm gonna have to try really hard to kill her then now wont I." I said as I ripped some one else’s head off. People where like running every where the bad guys where running from me and the commoners where trying to put the fires out. It took like 5 more minutes to kill the soldiers.

"Ok were guy what’s your name I want you to join me on my quest to free the nation of the evil queen."

"No I wont join you, you big pompous idiot." I was kind of wondering how he said that with a straight face because if I had said that to someone I would have busted out laughing. I made a face of mock disappointment making sure it was very obvious it wasn't real. Now to implement my plan I said "Ok you can spend your time here with these peasants that would want you to defeat the evil warlord chick. It's ok I understand you would rather help them in small ways instead of freeing them from the evil clutches of darkness."
"That’s not gonna work on Me."
"Didn’t your mother ever tell you that if people don’t have at least a little bit of hope that they die? Can't you let me have at least a little smidgen? Your here trying to crush my hope and all I wanted was to give these people hope even if I couldn't kill the sorceress, which I still think I can whup"
"Your going to try and fight her on your own?"
"Yeah I am I don’t got a team of elite fighters. I was actually thinking of letting you on to but I was wrong about you your just a coward."
"I'm not a coward I just use my brain unlike some people I just met."
"Well I wonder who that might be?"
"No need to be sarcastic."
"I must disagree with you there is much reason to be sarcastic."
"You know there is a gurl following us right?"
"I thought she was following me because we aren't a team?"
"So you knew she was following us?"
"I was actually hoping she would join us."
"Don’t you mean join you?"
"No I mean join us. Don't B.S. now you know your so on my team no weaseling out now."
"Ok so about the gurl what special abilities douse she have because I know she isn't any good with concealment."
" I have no idea really but we can find out when she comes out of hiding."
"I don’t want to wait."
"Your to mature damn it you sound older then me. We are gonna keep walking on farther into the forest. Then we will rest... hey you still didn’t tell me your name!!!"
"You didn’t tell me yours."
"It's Derial."
"No last name?"
"It's umm... hold on I never needed one before I have to make one up."
"Is Derial your real name?"
"Yes it is I didn't know my parents I was raised by Dante Arrow so I'm Derial Arrow I guess."
"My name is Shale."
"That’s b***h name and I think you should get a last name as well."
"Ok I'll say I'm your brother. So I'm Shale Arrow."
"Ok fine by me. Hey just so you know I wanna keep up my image for the gurl so I’m not gonna stop until you suggest it."
Derial continued to walk down the road with Shale. He was thinking about Marie all the while not caring for his surroundings. Trudging along he didn’t notice entering the swamp that smelled so bad it was said to raise the dead. The smell stuck to his clothes and skin and the swamp water around his red hand was boiling. Shale followed along behind him watching him making sure not to step where he did for it seamed that Derial took the deepest route. Marie above them was having a hard time keeping up in the trees because she had to be quite quick and not get attacked be the swamps nocturnal wild life. Derial as brain dead as he was didn’t notice any of it. The mutated two foot swamp piranhas decided it was a bad Idea to attack Derial because the water had no air compliments to the glove. They moved all night Derial didn’t tire because of his training and he slept all day. Shale didn’t tire because he was a werefox and wouldn’t tire that easily. To bad Marie was the first to. A giant snake attacked her and she fell out of her tree because she was tired. She fell into the water. Derial kept on walking while Shale turned round to see rippling water. He ran up to Derial and slapped his arm.
“Yo I saw something in the water”
“Umm… and?”
“Get ready to fight you idiot”
Derial shrugged it off and turned around getting ready to fight. Marie popped out of the water so Derial ran over to her. The snake came out of the tree but with out missing a beat Derial twisted its head off he also didn’t notice doing that. When he got to marie he picked her up and hugged her asking her “are you ok?” she just shivered from the cold water. Then she fainted.
Derial hoisted Marie up on to his shoulder and looked to shale
“we need to get out of this swamp and get her warm and dry.”
The reply came in a melodic voice almost like a orchestra of flutes.
“I can not allow you to leave these grounds.” Derial not turning around to see who was speaking to him jus answered
“dude shale I said to lighten up and stop being so serious but I didn’t mean for you to sound like a b***h.” Then in shale’s regular voice
“I’m not stupid enough to sound like that I’m not gay” then in sing song voice but this time it sounded worried
“do you really think I sound like a guy?” Derial being to stubborn to turn around and actually see what was happening replied.
“Dude of coarse you sound like a guy. Do you have like multiple personalities or something?” back to regular shale.
“Sorry miss this is my brother Derial he’s stupid.” Then before any one could say any thing.
“Shale stop talking to yourself and help me move Marie or she is going to freeze to death.”
“Oh I see what you mean by he is stupid. Ok he needs some help. Give this to him.”
“Thanks I’m eternally in your debt if this can make him smart.” Derial getting fed up with shale talking to himself.
“Shale if you keep talking to yourself I will slap the skin right off your face”
“no dare we aren’t alone”
“I know we aren’t we have Marie now.”
“I mean besides me you and Marie”
“yes I know there is a pig faced imp in the tree to my left but I was gonna ignore him until the last second and catch him to see why he has been following us from as soon as we entered the swamps.” With that Derial pounced into the trees and came out carrying out an ugly black and leathery thing. Now for the first time he saw that their was indeed someone else. It was a female elf with long blond hair down to her knees. Derial couldn’t think of any thing to say so he just let the first thing that popped into his head come out.
“Hey shale at least your not some gay wack job right?” In shale’s out stretched left hand was a wooden ring.
“Put this on dare.”
“Hmm…after you and your a*****e b***h friend help me with Marie.”
"what did you just call me?"
"Are you deaf or some thing? help me woman."

((its mainly from his point of view the ring will make him put to use the stuff he sees around him and realy start to think. he is actualy very accute but doesnt care about any thing. so when he gets the ring he will get brains and be rediculous.))
