• They were right on walking through the woods. Hinr and Roche and Samantha were heading towards Halkagsna, not knowing of the dangers in front of them...
    Roche noticed a charred figure leaning against a tree. He started walking towards it carefully until its head turned towards him, with long spiky teeth showing as it grinned devilishly. It was all black with no detail at all with gleaming red eyes. It was practically... a shadow. Roche backed up. He wasn't fast enough. The figure dashed towards him with a knife and stabbed at him. Roche barely dodged it, sending the thing crashing towards a tree. Hinr and Samantha just arrived, breathing heavily.

    "Uh, dad, can't you at least slow down??????" Hinr wheezed. Roche let out a grunt and turned away from where the creature crashed. But then, the thing again shot towards Roche with the knife.... and stabbed him in the back. The creature turned to Hinr and Samantha who were too astonished and grinned before disappearing. Hinr and Samantha ran towards Roche who was on the ground.

    "DAD!!! Please, you're gonna be ok.... just hang in there, ok...?" Hinr said, sobbing.

    "No... my time has come. I love you and I love your mother. I guess it's time for me to join her..." Roche replied.

    "No...please......"

    "I'm sorry Hinr... I must admit something to you.."

    "Yes...?"

    "You have an older brother. His name is Harakan. He was kicked out of the castle after killing a peasant. Though it was by accident, I had no choice. I believe he lives in a cave with his wife Sarah. Now, go, join him and let him aid you. Tell him I always loved him... and I never wanted him to be kicked out..." Roche said. He finally closed his eyes and his head became limp. He was dead. Hinr put his head on Roche's and started crying. Samantha put her arm around his shoulder and put her head close to his and finally spoke.

    "I think we need to go..." she whispered in his ear. Hinr nodded.

    After they finished burying him, they turned and headed towards the mountains. It was the only place in Halkagsna that had at least one cave. Hinr kew that his long lost brother was practically the only one who could help them. The only family he had left....
