Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

in the last eight days Metat had grown very weak. he has been despertly

trying to finish his letter to the people that is to be read after his death. he

has also been trying to figure out what to do with his 10.5 million fortune.

"i wonder what my weapon collection is worth...butler get an appraiser

here to look at my weapons" "right away sir" the butler leaves the room to

go do as he was told. "now lets see here" metat reaches over the side of

his bed to grab the closest thing to a newspaper in existance. it is a basic

compilelation of all the scheduled events and all recent events. "man plans

to cage himself with a bant yada yada yada raising money uh huh ya ya.

and it going to happen when gerr where is it there today at sundown...

sundown! butler!!!" the butler comes charging in "whats wrong sir" i need

to get to the great stadium now!

on a bulding near the center of the city where peirce is giving his speach

Alex and Andrew crouch, remaining unnoticed. both of them have bows of

the very finest quality on there backs. they listen intently to the speach.

Alex turns his head to Andrew "this man is nuts" "ya to actualy cage your

self in with a behemoth ant." "i cant believe he's only charging 100 gold to

get in the arena and see." "if he rents out the largest stadium and rents

out all the seats then he will make 50k" "he has 18 Bants in there thats

900k if all goes well thats if he doesnt change the price" "thats a lot of

money" "Alex there they are which one is Gorro" "6foot otherwise normal

build...msut be that one the other one is huge." they both now have there

bows in hand. something they hear shocks them eek they turn to

each other "youve got to be kidding me" they both say in unison. what

they just learned was that peirce planned to fight the bant with nothing but

a pointless tothic a weapon often used for unleathal duals. a single bant

was capable of dragging a man weighing 200 pounds across the ground

and down a hole. now thats a normal sized one one of his weighs about 80

pounds one that big could drag a big guy like ben around peirce weighs

roughly 180 pounds making him hardly a trifle for them to throw around

"I realy hope Gorro is at those shows ide like an excuse to go" "Agreed

and a shot from here is far to risky" "it will definately make our lives

easyer" "should we get closer just in case?" "not with that peirce guy

around" "not to mention the big guy hmm we're just gonna have to wait"....

A NOTE PLEASE GO TO FIRST POST TO READ STORY FROM THE START (:

they walked in single file smallest first, about 5 foot 11, to the largest,

about 6 foot 5, to there surprise there were as the best of them

thought. "15 on the left 15 on the right 5 in the front 35 in total.

all armed with tothicks i dont believe they have any other

weapons. if we all hit at least one with one of our two throwing knives.

then 3 of us break of on both sides. then we will only need to take 5

each. chance of all us surviving roughly 65% chance of all of us avoiding

injury about 20%" as it turns out all his planning was pointless

because suddenly a monster of a man stood up from behind the gaurds

directly in front. he stood 7foot8 a tad fat for his size otherwise

proportional for his enormas size. "what do you want?" one of the

mercanaries the one close to the middle in hight standing 6 foot 2

stood still making direct i contact with dannith the other mercanries

looked imediatly at there comrad. the 6,2 man tiny in comparison to

Dannith began speaking in a strong powerful voice. we are the

mercanary 6 of the rocky eastern lands..." "i dont care who you are"

the giant responds with a snap "i ask again what do you want?" "we

want to confirm the commision of Gorro. 1 million you said" "i did" "we

will return with Gorro in a short time" "these formalitys are unneaded,

Gorro is not an easy man to find." "maybe normaly but today he is with

peirce and peirce is giving a speach, his location is known to all today."

six mercenares come to the doot of Dannith. the two gaurds standing

on either side of the door raise there tothicks the brown cloaked

mercenaries look around at eachother and in unison romove weapons,

a little over three feet long, from there cloaks. they are one solid and

strong mettle. one end is so sharp it could peirce straight through a

man with hardly any preasure at all. in essance think of a giant needle.

on the other tip, wider than the rest of it, has a small hole it is big

enough to allow you to put 4 of your digets through but not your

thumb making it the perfect handle for the average sized hand. it is

called a pineed. they are very rare, expensive, and dangerous. the 2

gaurds backed off and pointed the way to danniths private office from

that point on none of the gaurds even attemted to look like they were

going to try to do anything. They came to Danniths door, it was

already open..............................................................................

(A note if you want to read my story from the beginning go to post #1)


" you shure you wanna do this peirce " come on gorro have some faith

ive done this sorta thing before" "ya but you havnt done this before"

ben speaks up "just let him do it you have to pay me some how" " i

know i know its just..fine you ready peirce?" "ive been ready for the

last half hour" Gorro sighs "so you have" the sound of a strong and

impatient foot's tapping fills the air Ben looks out into the crowd "there

waiting" it had been a week since the assassins attack on metat. the

people are still looking for the leader he spoke of, as does he for he is

not dead but he is bed ridden and dying. "people of litea i am peirce"

the crowd shouts out in a loud cheer. "beside me as you can see there

is a cage twenty feet cubed now you are probably wondering why i

have this cage coverd and you will continue to wonder untill i get 10k

in charity for the new houses to be built." it only took 7 minutes to get

14k. peirce looked at gorro, Gorro looked at ben, ben looked at the

floor sighed looked up " thats still not nearly enough " " thats ok im not

done yet " he turns and addresses the crowd yet again " you paid for it

and now here it is " he pulls the fabric off the cage revealing nearly 20

behemoth ants. now where normal people see some ants crawling on

some droped crumbs is nothing special a litean seeing behemoth ants

crawling on food will probably be recognized as a swarm of three foot

long half foot tall monsters devouring an entire viliges food... now just

as a regular ant can lift several times his own weight so can a

behemoth only he weighs 50 pounds at the least. now as the only

possible natural responce could be the crowd whent crazy a few with

fear some with anger while most with amazement..............................

in the south east corner of the city, the area most run down, a group

of mercanaries arrived because they caught word of a great prize. to

make certain of this valuable commision the six men headed up to the

north east corner of the city......................................................................


(A note this city has eight points like two squares laid on top of one

another so that there there points are equaly distanced apart.)

in the north corner of the city the part considerd uperclass with much

finer living spaces and low crime. 2 warriors cought word of a rather

large bounty offerd for a single man offerd by a rich man who could

easily pay the massive sum. so the two of them headed straight to the

man who was worth such a magnanamus amount..............................

in the north east side of the city dannith, another man who posses

excelent leader ship skills sits alone qiuetly wondering what his next

move should be. he was losing the people his grip of fear was fading

and what wasnt was turning to rage he needed to act fast he hoped

that the offer was high enough to draw some real tallent...............


mean while on the western side of the city something that up untill last

week was totaly unheard of, and was now common....................

metat the contraversaly richest man alive made a live

appearence to the public "good people of litea it has come to my

attention that although im not worthy to lead i see it my duty that an

apropiate leader comes into power. it must be some one honest not a

person with any current power everyone like that has gotten where

they are the underhanded means...including myself. i will not give any

suggestions for i fear you only refuse them in fear they would only be

to benefit myself. and i understand why. instead you must...augh!!!"

the crounds gasped and some screamed, for at that very moment an

arrow stuck thru the chest of metat "gasp...the choice is yours a

leader must be chosen by the people to serve the people...ahhh"

another arrow strikes his chest "do not give more power to the

powerful...the power...must stay with...the people." and with that he

collasped never to stand back up by his own power. the assassin was

quickly apprehended and killed in the streets.legend holds he died

screaming you fools i was saving you i just saved you. and the people

responded then the hero must die.

in the very begining, as far back as the liteans are concerned, the Keepers brought them into existance. how? only the keepers know.
under the guidence and protection of the Keepers the liteans prosperd and multiplied. the keepers gave the liteans weapons greater than any they could ever hope to make. they gave them superior building equipment and in unlimeted suplies this was the age of perfection.
the first age. but alas all good things come to an end a fool by the calling of anhaya began to preach of arogent things and coersed most of the people into believing they no longer needed the Keepers. in retaleation the keepers stopped all forms of assistance with the liteans and sent there world into the age of madness. the second age. this was a time of pain, confusion, hatred, and anger. because they had allways been led by the Keepers they had porly developed leadership abilitys. all but a few. one such person was Gorro. a man skilled in all aspects of being. in the first age the people had been one nation. now it was every man woman and child for its self. Gorro how ever worked to unify the people...................................................................


"ok so if we build those new houses there then we can open up

that area to the public perhaps as a park." "ya k but how are we going

to fund it?" "well, youve heard of peirce right?" "oh everybodys heard of

pierce" "well you see he is a friend of mine and he and i have something

cooked up for that." allright Gorro but i better get paid my team cant

expect to work for free" the large man glared in what he thought was

an some what threatening way. Gorro responded with a you've gotta

be kidding me look. 'im realy hoping that when these new homes are

finished i can get the people in the southwest part of the city to trade

me for them so i'll have all the land in that area so i can build..." just

then the door to the room burst open three men ran inside each holding

a 6 foot long spear both ends of them pointed made of perfectly

smooth wood. weapons given by the keepers long ago called tothicks.

Gorro looked around but he new that room had no other ways out he

reached and pulled two 3 foot pieces of a tothpick from either side of

his belt. the man he had been talking to a builder by the name of ben

grabbed a hammer he had been carrying on his back witch was realy

just a tothpick with a a rock that becomes plyable in water at the end

of it. now been is 7 feet tall broad soldiers large bicepts etc. gorro

however is completely unremarcable normal hight and build not overly

noticeable in any way. the three men ran forward weapons pointed

likewise. ben grabbed the table he and Gorro were on either side of and

threw it with ease. with a thrack there was one less man to worry

about. gorro steped forward, side stepped the tip of the weapon so

that the perfectly smooth wood slid across his stomach he jabbed his

weapon into his attackers chest and ducked under the attack of the

third man, as he watched ben's massive hammer slam into the face of

his enemy. "some people dont want order they dont want peace they

only want to satisfy there greed" Gorro stated solemly. a man rushes

thru the door sword drawn and shield at ready. both men react

accordenly the swordsman stops, looks around, removes his helmet,

and "it looks like i missed one heck of a party!" both men release a sigh

of relief. Gorro put away his weapons and ran over to peirce put his

hand on his shoulder and said "we need to catch up"
