Ultimate quest

The village burns all around him as Shadowblade runs through looking for survivors. Sudden he sees an old man standing near a destroyed building. “Shadowblade, the village has been attacked by Bandits, we need to know who they were working for. Go out and kill the bandits and find any traces of who might be responsible” Says the old man. After the short transaction the old man falls silent. The young hero Shadowblade turns and leaves the village, running across the Golgari plains to find the home of the bandits. As he runs his map points the way. The bandit camp is just over the horizon. Shadowblade spots the camp and runs in, without a word they all attack on sight. A group of bandits attack swarming on all sides, Shadowblade swings his mighty sword of the volcano tribe. The bandits slashed frantically at Shadowblade with their crude weapons, but he counter attacks with a whirl blade attack, sending all of the bandits flying in different directions. Once scattered, Shadowblade deals with them individually. He cuts each one down as they approach and if they too many came at him at once, he would use his sword stun to keep the extra bandits out of the fight until he could properly deal with them.

Once they all had been defeated Shadowblade picks their bodies for treasure and information on who really ordered the attack. The hero found a scrap of paper with battle plans on it. So he hastily took the paper back to the old man. The man thanked the Hero and said that the real enemy was ‘Arkthon the coldbringer’ evil wizard and champion of the bandits. Shadowblade then ran off to the icy mountains to find the coldbringer. He climbed up the conveniently near by mountain, dodging falling rocks and fighting lesser ogres along they way. It was a treacherous journey, but nothing he couldn’t handle.

Finally the brave hero Shadowblade reached the top of the icy mountain, the cold wind blowing and picking up snow as it went. It was difficult to see, but suddenly Arkthon appeared. Frost and cold drifted off his body and ice seemed permanently infused to his shoulders and chest. This would be a difficult battle, but luckily Shadowblade had his fire sword.

“You will not stop me, Shadowblade” The Cryomancer yelled over the sound of the blowing wind. Shadowblade did not reply. He charged at Arkthon with his heroes charge and swung his might sword down at the Coldbringer. The fiery sword struck and caused massive damage to Arkthon’s ice armor. The Coldbringer returned with an ice blast, knocking Shadowblade backward and almost throwing him off the edge of the mountainside. The hero regained his balance and ran at Arkthon, ready for another assault. As he ran he pulled a bottle from his traveler bag and drank it, his strength increased and he used his swords special attack. Having stored up enough energy from the previous fights, Shadowblade unleashed his volcanic devastation attack. He slashed in the air causing fire to launch from his sword. The flame twisted through the air, building in size as it went. Finally it hit the Coldbringer, sending a burst of fire in all directions. The flames melted all the ice in the area and brought Arkthon to his knees. “Curse you…Hero…*cough*…I will…have my revenge” Gasped Arkthon, then he collapsed.

Marvin leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyes. It was 3am and he had to be at work in five hours. “I better get some sleep” He grumbled. Marvin set down his video game controller and watched as his character “Shadowblade”, gained a level then the game auto-saved. Marvin took the game from his console, put it back into his box and shut everything down. He stretched, looked at the clock again and cursed himself for staying up so late trying to beat one last mission. Marvin went to bed, and Shadowblade sat, waiting to return to his adventure and save the kingdom in the “Ultimate quest”
