(Note: I just got here, so you may suggest I go to somewhere else, but I have played Fiesta a lot longer than my post count implys. I'm also a wannabe writer, so please post whatever you think, no pretenses :))


Issac plunged through the dense foliage of the Forest of Tides, firing arrow after arrow at his pursuers, three slime, which were hopping toward him, a creepy grin on their faces, like a drawn happy face. One of his arrows hit one of them in the face, splattering goo everywhere, but it kept coming, half a simle on it's face. They continued to gain on him, and Issac searched frantically, hoping for a route out of this blasted nightmare. Spotting the road, he dashed forward.

Issac had blond hair, green eyes, and a handsome figure. He had been out in the woods with his girlfriend, Katie, when they attacked. Fifteen slime had emerged and pounced. Katie was unarmed, so Issac had told her to run, to.. meet him at Roumen, for he had his bow, his hunter's bow that he carried with him to fake that he wasn't with Katie to his parents (they didn't approve of her). He had distracted the slime for a long time, and he was bone tired, having spent his last arrow on that one slime.
Issac thought about all this as he clutched his stitch and glanced back. He had lost the slime. His controlled breathing turned to panting and wheezing, and he took a drink from his water bottle, gulping down water until his stich ceased to exsist and his breathing returned to normal. He grabbed the bread he had brought as bait for the animals he was to hunt and tore through it ravenously, demolishing it until there was nothing left, for his last food he had was dinner at the house. He rubbed his mouth with his forearm and brushed off his clothes, then took off across the road, strolling this time and humming the song "Love is Fantastic," in Elvish under his breath. He gazed at the moon, than went bolt upright as he realized that position meant it was midnight. He swore, grimacing as the curse left his mouth. It was past sixteen curfew, and he knew his fourteen-year old brother, Jacob, would already be asleep. He bitterly thought about how much trouble he would be in, thinking of his excuse, but Mom would just say that slimes are peaceful. With a sigh, he started forward again, hiking towards home. Along the way, he came across the five arrows he had used for practice earlier that evening. He left two that had cracks in them, but gathered the other three into his quiver.
Strolling along, Issac didn't notice the Hero until it was almost to late. The red slimeball coiled itself up and launched straight at him, but he had time to duck, and it sailed over his head, chewing empty air. Issac rolled to get his momentum returning, and nocked an arrow, shooting it at the slime, it hit the bottom, and the slime groaned as goo seeped out. It howled and spun at Issac, but Issac pulverized it's face with his bow, sending it sprawling. The thing growled and whipped its tail at Issac, catching him in the chest.
"Ummph!" Issac gasped as pain overloaded his system. He stumbled backwards and tripped over his untied shoelace, landing on the ground with a surprised, "What the..."
He looked up to see the hero similing at him doughtily with his drawn face, and cursed, taking an aroow from his quiver and stabbing the thing in the face, somersaulting to get up and away from the goobath. He got to his feet, panting as goo ran down his face.
"Well, Well, Well, a brave warrior!" a cackly maniacal voice wheezed, "What should I do?" it added in a mocking tone.
Issac whirled around to see a brownish, wrinkled old figure around three feet tall that had a hunchback peering at him, head ****ed to one side, with two tan bodyguard looking versions and several paler versions all around him.
"Well, boss, we could just take 'im out," Nasty Number One suggested with his equally weird, kind of mad sounding voice.
"I can see that, but, he's Roumenen, they would do a lot to get him back, so, lets see how well he can entertain us," Master Nasty said, "Get 'im"
"Yes boss," Nasty Number Two said. He made a fire ball in his hands and shot it at Issac, who felt the hair on his neck singe as he dived past. He had already had his last arrow nocked and let it fly, coming to a rest in Master Nasty's heart.
Instantly, a fire was created, and Issac crumpled to the floor.
And I woke up, knowing Issac was, are soon will be, dead

Chapter 1
The Search for Issac
I shivered as I stood near the docks of Roumen with my best friend, Jake ,the resilient mage, whom was right now observing the new girl, Althea, buy her hobby horse for the first time. I rolled my eyes, bothered by the look in Jake's eye that obviously said that he was struck by a crush. The past few days had been an ordeal. The day I dreamed of Issac, I awoke to find my parents and my pet speedy slime, Marty, were gone, and a trail of blue ichor mixed with blood was found in the kitchen. They hadn't come back yet, so I had to stay with my 5th great grandfather Robin, whom was grandpa to almost everybody in the city.
Yesterday, a new girl from Sand Hill in the east had shown up out of the blue in Roumen, and, even though she was raised there, she was still a fourteen, and a seventeen skill adventurer at that. I was a rank eighteen, and Jake was a ninteen, going to see Sean soon.
Oops. I forgot to introuduce myself. I'm John Brianmoore, fourteen with eyes of melted brownies (whateve THAT means), similar colored hair, and a face that looks like Issac's with a darker shadowline.
Well, back to the story.
"Uh... Jake?" I asked.
Uh doy doy," he replied.
You think you should go learn that new lightning bolt today?"
"NuhNuh," was his disoriented reply.
"Look," I turned him towards me and shook him like a rag doll, "Just because you like her, or she has these hypnotic green eyes, or for any other possible reason you can even imagine, doesn't mean you can play hooky, so GET IT TOGETHER!!!" I smacked him across the face. He seemed to understand, but then she came.
"Hi ya guys, names Althea, what's yours?" she asked.
Jake looked like he was going to faint, so I introduced him and me. I didn't see Jake was melting, she wasn't ugly, that was for sure, with purple hair and green eyes that kind've suited her, but she certainly wasn't cause to skip training.
"Hey,I'm John and this is Jake, we're a cleric and a mage," I introuduced, "Fourteens."
"My brother was in sixteen class of archers, too" I said, noticing the bow, "but he's..." my voice trailed off.
She gave me a slug on the shoulder. It didn't hurt, just showed she cared that he came back. I smiled and said, "Hey, wanna be friends?"
"Sure," she replied, and took out her friend info. device that everybody had from her bag. We identified each other, and I notice Jake was trembling as he added her.
Just then a rider trotted into the city. His head was bloody and he had lost a hand. He reached Romenus, gasping for air.
"Chief," I heard him pant, "Slime... forest...Issac...hostile...Im... death.. only one left," after that, he collapsed, and the rise and fall of his chest stopped.
Romenus called, "John, boy, come here!" I almost flew to him.
"Yeah,chief?" I asked.
"Good News and Bad News, Good News is, Issac's alive."
My heart flew.
"Bad news, is, he's been captured by King Slime,"
I nodded. I knew what I must do.
I must go after Issac.
