writing a story I did for a friend

[BerahaKrahn 42]

It is a normal day for Malphas and Sierra. They woke up together and had breakfast, afterwards they decided to play a game together. The game they decided to play was a new multi-player action rpg they have both wanted to try.

 

Malphas is a dragon-wolf hybrid with some goat like aspects, who is a little shorter than average, standing about five feet eight inches tall. He has long curling horns that start behind his long standing ears, and curls back and out one and a half curls, the tips ending about eighteen inches from his head. The majority of his fur is deep brown with shocking blue double tipped striped markings on both wrists, near the tip of his tail and his left outer thigh. His hands and the tip of his tail are also the same blue. His eyes are pure white, which a lot of people find creepy, but Sierra sees nothing but his love for her within them.

 

Sierra is a dragon an inch taller then Malphas, standing five feet nine inches tall. Her short horns standing at the top of her head are about ten inches long and jet black. The majority of her body scales are pure white, with the exception of her torso from under her decent sized breasts all the way down to her crotch, which are also a shocking blue. Her hair is dark blue with lighter blue tips. Her wings are very fairey like, being clear in the center, but outlined in black and blue, the black within the blue. Her eyes are the same blue as her hair, always shining with love whenever she looks at Malphas.

 

Malphas sets up the game on thier Xbox One while Sierra settles on the couch waiting for him to sit with her. When he sits down she snuggles deep against him and he wraps his arm around her looking down at her with deep love in his eyes. "Are you ready to play?" he asks, a slight chuckle I'm his voice.

 

She nods smiling, "yes let's have some fun. I've always enjoyed our time together playing our games." She looks at the t.v. as the game starts her smile growing wider. When he navigates to the character creation screen she smiles even wider. "I'm going to play the princess class, I like how she looks a bit like me."

 

He chuckles "very well my princess, I shall play your loyal knight. I will protect you from all evil." His smile is wide and inviting and she cant help but to give him a loving kiss.

 

As they begin the game they start off in a desolate field, nothing but smoke and destruction seen. "Where is every one?" Malphas asks as they start to explore around. She just shakes her head in response a confused look on her face.

 

They continue to explore the desolate wasteland until they finally run into a npc with a question mark over his head. Sierra gets to him first and activates the conversation routine of the game.

 

"Greetings adventurers" the npc begins. "My name is Callous, welcome to my world." The background music dims to almost nothing as he speaks. "You shall be trapped in my world until the princess is saved." Callous laughs meniachaly as Sierra begins to dissipate from her spot beside Malphas on the couch.

 

"Help me Malphas" she whimpers before she completely disappears from the couch. She passes out from the shock of the digitization. When she comes to she is trapped in a cage in a blank stone room with just one window and one door being the only things to break the manotany of the stone.

 

"The princess has been teansfered to the tower of my castle. If you wish to save her knight then you must also come to my world and fight your way to me." Callous speaks after both Sierra and her game avatar disappear.

 

"No, give her back to me! You can't do this!" Malphas screams at the t.v. as Callous fades from view. He continues to scream unintelegable curses at the t.v. as he sends his game avatar running around, seeking another npc.

 

After running around for a few more minutes, his rage and sorrow growing by the second, he finds another npc. He moves his character to the angelic looking being and activates the conversation.

 

"Greetings adventurer" she starts. "My name is Crysteel. I can sense that you have lost something very precious to you in our world. Come let me help you to find her."

 

As she speaks, he feels his body start dissipate. He blacks out for a few seconds. When he comes to he is standing in front of Crysteel. "What the fucking hell is going on here! Give me back my mate!" He screams at her.

 

"Calm yourself please screaming will help nothing" she says in a calm voice. "You are now within our world and you cannot leave until you save your mate look at yourself."

 

Malphas looks down at his body. He is no longer naked, instead he is dressed in full plate armor. At his side he has a bastard sword hanging in a sheath. On his back is a round shield. As he looks at his weapon, shield, and armor he feels knowledge flood his mind.

 

"Aaaahhhhh what is happening to me!" He screams again clutching his head and falling to his knees. The flood of character knowledge into his brain giving him a sudden sharp, piercing headache.

 

"You are gaining all the knowledge that your character would have" Crysteel replies. "You will need that knowledge to save your princess. Only myself and Callous knows that you are not from this world. All others you meet will believe you to be from here, and the knowledge you are gaining will help you to play along when you speak to them."

 

He nods, the pain slowly going away as his brain acclimates to the new information. "Where should I go first to start searching for her?" He looks to Crysteel yearning for his mate in his blank eyes. "Please tell me what to do."

 

"Brave, loyal, loving knight to find your princess you must first find Callous' castle. Then battle your way to the tower and up to the top. Once there defeat Callous and you both shall be sent home. To start go south to the town of Numias, once there seek out Myst the wise sage. He will set you on your path."

 

Malphas nods tears coming to his eyes. "Thank you Crysteel, I shall follow your advice and seek out this Myst." He stands wiping his eyes with is hands, turning south.

 

Meanwhile back at Callous' castle.

 

Callous walks into the room where Sierra is being held. "Ah my sweet princess I'm happy to see you awake." Callous smiles a wicked smile as his voice deepens. "Shall we have some fun my little nightingale?"

 

She looks at him with fear in her eyes. "Why are you doing this to me? What is the purpose of trapping me in this cage, in your world?" She asks as tears begin to fall from her eyes again.

 

He chuckles. "Its all just part of the program when more than one player starts the game. There are specific instructions we must follow. Only when a princess and a knight play together does this program execute."

 

Sierra shakes her head. "I wanna go home!" She wails beginning to bawl again.

 

"No worries my sweet princess your knight just has to save you and you both can go home." He chuckles maniacally again. "But the chances of that are slim."

 

At the gate to the town of Numias.

 

Malphas finally comes into view of the gates of Numais. He's had to battle through hoards of goblins and dire wolves on his way to this point. But through those battles he has gained strength and wisdom. Also he has gained much needed money to get his equipment repaired.

 

As he approaches the gates of the city a couple of heavily armed and armored gaurds step in front of them. "Halt. What is your buisness in this city?" One of them asks.

 

Malphas looks strait into the face of the guard. "I come seeking knowledge from the sage Myst." His voice is rough and gravelly from his exhaustion.

 

The guard nods. "I'd suggest a trip to the inn and armourer also, it looks like you got pretty beat up on the way here." He slams his fist against the gate and it visibly shudders from the force. "One pedestrian to enter the city!"

 

A smaller door in the main gate opens up for him and Malphas enters the city. As he walks down the street he's looking around memorizing the layout of the city. He finds an inn with a taproom attatched to it, thinking on the guards advice he decides he can relax a little. He won't be able to save Sierra if he doesn't tak care of himself also.

 

As Malphas enters the inn he hears a great deep booming voice. "Welcome to the dragon slayer inn best inn in town." As he looks he sees a man behind a desk off in the far corner of the room and approaches.

 

"A room and a meal please" he says the the bear of a man.

 

"That'll be fifteen coin." The innkeeper holds out his hand for the money and Malphas pays him. "This also includes drink for the night. Yer limited to three."

 

Malphas takes the key offered by the innkeeper and nods. Before going into the tap room though he looks to the other man. "I'm seeking a sage named Myst where can I find him? Also where is a reputable armourer so i can get repairs?"

 

The innkeeper shakes his head. "I can tell ye where to get repairs but me spies haven't found the new location fer Myst." He leans closer, "but I may be able to speed up the search to have the information tonight."

 

Malphas shakes his head. "I'll find that information some other way then." He turns to leave almost forgetting about the other information. "And the armourer?"

 

The innkeeper chuckles then gives the information as he leaves. As he is on his way to the armourer he stops by a kabob stall.

 

"You know I've heard a new tower has appeared at the southern edge of town." Malphas overheard as someone passed by the stall as he orders. After hearing that he forgets about the armourer and heads strait to the southern section of town.

 

As he approaches the southern side of town he sees a spire start to fade into view. "This must be the home of Myst." He think to himself as he continues walking.

 

As he approaches the tower door it opens on its own. Malphas looks through the door cautiously to see what he can. The room is a bare round stone room with only a stair way. "Enter seeker of truth or be gone, you are letting the bugs in." A deep voice is heard to resonate around the room.

 

He enters the room and the door closes behind him. He looks back towards the door then shakes his head. Then he heads to the stairway. It seems to take him an hour to climb up the stairs.

 

"Ah you've finally made it Malphas." An old man with piercing blue eyes and a wrinkled face says. "Greetings traveler I know why you are here. You come seeking a way to defeat Callous and return tonyour own world. Am I correct in this assumption?"

 

Malphas' jaw drops. "Chrysteel said only her and callous knew i was from a different world" he says, disbelief in his voice.

 

Myst chuckles. "No I also am aware if the player is in the game or just playing."

 

Malphas nods. "Verry well then how do I save my girlfriend?"

 

Malphas holds up his hand. "First a little story." He clears his throat. "Long ago there was a kingdom ran by a wise and powerful king. He had many a battle with his enemies. His sword after being bathed in so much blood of evil creatures and people, came to have a power of its own. It became blessed by the god Verhain. That sword will be your way to defeat Callous and save your princess."

 

Malphas nods. "And where do I find this sword?"

 

Myst smiles. "Callous has taken over that kingdom. You will find that sword in a vault in the treasury. But be warned you will need to be stronger to reach that sword than you are now." He chuckles again. "The placement of that castle is on your map now so you know where to go after you gain the strength."

 

At Callous' castle tower.

 

Sierra has been trapped in the cage for a few months now, but she hasn't given up hope that Malphas would rescue her. Callous had tried time and again to get her to give up. But her heart wouldn't allow her. She knew Malphas would rescue her no matter what.

 

At the gate of the castle.

 

Malphas has battled for months to gain the strength to assault the castle. Now he is here and he plans to do this in one run. He's learned where in the castle the sword is kept. Thats the first stop.

 

He approaches the castle gate. As he does some basic goblin enemies pop out of hiding. He chuckles. "Come in Callous youll have to do better than these."

 

Malphas rushes towards the goblins. As he reaches them he shield bashes one while slicing another across the belly. Both explode into shards of data. Another swings at his head and he raises his shield blocking the blow, then stabs it in the face and it explodes. The rest run away.

 

He doesn't even check the bodies, he knows he won't need what they have. He continues towards the gate and a giant goblin appears with the three that ran off.

 

He smiles, "now this is more like it." He rushes forward again dodging an attack from the giant goblin and stabbing one of the smaller. He then spins around, using a tornado bash to rid himself of the remaining two and block a swing from the giant.

 

The giant lets the momentum of the forceful block to spin his club over his head to swing at Malphas' other side. Malphas blocks it with his sword, stepping into the giant using a power bash to send it sprawling backwards. He then leaps into the air, "gryphon strike", he shouts as ge plumits towards the giant, piercing its skull with his sword.

 

The giant falls dead and the gate opens. Malphas walks through the gate sword and shield ready but the courtyard is clear. As soon as he us through the gate it slams shut behind him.

 

Callous appears in front of Malphas. "So you have made it to my castle. Congratulations. Now come find me and defeat me if you can." After those words he disappears.

 

Malphas roars out, "Curse you Callous youll pay for this." He rushes forward towards the main doors of the castle.

 

He gets to the doors, braces his shield to his shoulder, and uses a power bash to break the doors down. Once inside he slows to a stop looking around. He knows exactly where he has to go to get the sword, that's not the problem. The problem is defeating the guardian of the vault.

 

He runs, taking the path the treasure hunter who told it to him gave him, slicing down any monsters who get in his way. He gets to the stairs leading down to the vault and he stops.

 

Malphas reaches into his pouch, grabbing a potion that glimmers golden. He quaffs the potion in one swig, feeling the power of the potion over take him. He gains a golden glowing aura which will, for a while atleast, make him immune to all non magical attacks.

 

He runs down the stairs and breaks down the door at the bottom. Once inside the vault a fire elemental arises from the glowing embers in the fire pit in the center of the room.

 

The elemental points to him, "if you think you are worthy of this treasure defeat me." It brings its hands together and a gout of flame erupts from the center of the hands.

 

Malphas smiles lifting his shield. This shield is enchanted against flames, so the fire just stops as it hits the shield. He walks towards the elemental sheathing his sword and pulling out a mace from his other hip.

 

The mace he pulls seems to have a mist surrounding it. It's enchanted with ice, to make quick work of fire enemies. He rushes toward the fire elemental his shield protecting him from the fire.

 

Though he's protected from harm from fire he still feels the heat build as he approaches. When he's in striking range he swings at the elemental. When the strike hits it shrieks.

 

The elemental raises into the air it's body shuddering. "How did you know that to get the sword of kings you must strike me with the mace of Chrystalis?" It asks.

 

Malphas chuckles. "It's in the legend of the sword of kings. I wasn't only getting stronger I was learning as well."

 

The elemental nods. "You are truly worthy of this sword then. Strike me once more with the mace and the sword will appear."

 

Malphas nods and strikes again. When he does the fire from the elemental dims to embers and it's form begins to shift. It takes several minutes for the shape change to take place, and once it is done the grandest sword Malphas has ever seen is floating where the elemental once was.

 

Malphas reaches to take the sword. When his hand touches it he feels a power he had never known before. He knows nothing can stand in his way now.

 

He looks around the rest of the vault smiling. He notices the legendary shield Aegeas. He tosses aside his old shield and walks to it. Once in front of it he can read something engraved on the face of the shield.

 

"Only one with the power of gods and kings can wield Aegeas"

 

Malphas chuckles. Reaching out he grabs the shield and it seems to flow onto his arm. "I guess I have the power. Now no magic can harm me."

 

He turns and leaves the vault. Once back up the stairs he looks around uncomfortable about how silent it is. "This isn't good. In most rpgs this means trouble."

 

He turns towards the tower he is meant to go to, walking slowly and being cautious. He gets to a forking path and takes the right fork. Then he gets to the throne room.

 

When he enters the open doors to the throne room the slam shut behind him. The candles and fires light the darkness. Once his eyes adjusts, there standing before him is a giant skeletal dragon.

 

"You have done well to make it this far adventurer. But you shall die here" the dragon says in a gravely voice. "For I am Dracolytch king of the undead." The dragon opens his maw spewing out a great gout of black negative flame.

 

Malphas brings the shield up infront of him walking forward his sword at the ready. The flame washes over the shield and is absorbed. He feels the power building in the shield as it absorbs the flame.

 

When he gets closer the dragon stops spewing the flame and swings at him with its claws. Malphas blocks most of the blow with his sword but is still flung to the side. He rolls through getting back to his feet quickly, just in time to dodge the in coming bite attack.

 

Malphas looks around the room spotting a container with a large black, still beating, heart inside it. He runs towards the container but the dragon leaps over him and lands between him and the container.

 

"Dont think you can beat me that easily." It says as Malphas continues to run towards it.

 

"Strike of the sun dragon." He screams as he speeds up, a golden aura of pure positive energy surrounds him. The aura changes shape to that of a dragons maw and when his sword strikes the dragon it screams in agony.

 

As the dragon is writhing in agony from the strike, Malphas continues to run past it. He swings his sword at the container smashing it. In the same swing the sword slices the heart in two.

 

The dragon screams and begins to break apart, bone by bone, till all that's still floating is the head. A dark mist surrounds the bones then coalesces into the form of Callous.

 

"Well done you have defeated me knight. You have gained amazing strength and knowledge. You knew my one weakness and you knew that strike would disable me long enough to destroy my heart. Go to your princess. You both may go home."

 

Callous exlpodes into an aurora of light. A key is floating where he used to be. Malphas grabs the key and heads to the hidden stairs behind the throne.

 

He quickly climbs the stairway to the top, using the key to unlock the door. Once he opens the door he rushes inside. "Sierra I am here." He says as he sees her in the cage.

 

"Oh Malphas, I knew you would come for me no matter what. That coward kept trying to make me lose faith but I knew in my heart that you would rescue me." She rushes to the door of the cage reaching through the bars.

 

Malphas rushes to her, thrusting his arms through the cage to embrace her. After a long embrace he speaks. "I would never abandon you my love. Nothing but death will ever stop me from rushing to protect you. But now let me get you out of this cage so we can go home."

 

Sierra steps back and Malphas uses the key to open the cage. As soon as it is open she rushes to him, wrapping her arms around him, and kissing him with all her love. They both close thier eyes as they kiss, and when they open them again they are back in the real world.

 

"Sierra my love I am so happy to have you back in my arms. I never want tonlet you go again. I love you so much." He kneels down onto one knee, reaching into his pocket, smiling that the ring he had bought her was still there.

 

Sierra gasps putting a hand over her mouth as he pulls out the ring. "Sierra I love you so much and this experience just showed me what I've known in my heart for as long as we have been together. I would go to the ends of the world for you and I am lost without you and your love. Please make me the happiest man in the world and become my wife."

 

Sierra nods whispering "yes." Malphas puts grabs her hand placing the ring on it. Afterwards he stands grabbing her up in a giant hug kissing her.

 

Later they return the game for a full refund. Months later they were married and they lived the rest of thier lives in happiness growing ever stronger in thier love for eachother.

 

THE END
