I knock on the door of room one hundred five. I'm standing there for multiple seconds before the door swings open. There's a small person standing in the doorway. It's a small girl wearing a bandana over her face.

  "Caleb?" They say.

  "Mal!" I yell.

  I burst into the room and give Mal a hug. Behind her Reed is standing there staring at me. There's two beds, Ann is on one and Wick is om the other. I stop hugging Mal and stand up fully. Reed runs and hugs me tight. I hug him back.

  "Cal... Thank god." Reed says while tears start coming from his eyes.

  Wick and Ann walk up to me. They look very concerned for some reason. After a few seconds Ann and Wick hug me too. They all start muttering. It's hard to make out but it sounds like they're saying sorry. Once they stop hugging me I ask what had happened. They told me everything from the orc hideout to now. I was knocked out on the ground when the orcs were fighting back. They killed most of them before the others ran off. Reed was about to help me when a rge orc attacked them. It was a darker green and was nearly twice the size of other orcs. They fought it for awhile. They killed it but I had already disappeared. They looked everywhere for me. At one point they wondered if I was captured by the orcs. For the past month they looked from vilge to vilge searching for any orcs or even possibly me. Very few pces would even allow them into them because it's the orc territories. Yesterday they came across this vilge. It was the only human vilge they could find. Wick and Ann had search all over, they even visited Louis's shop. But they didn't find me.

  "We were about to leave tonight." Wick told me.

  That's when they all look towards me. Reed asks what I've been doing for the past month. I expin how Louis had found me and took me in. How I helped around the farm and waited for my injure to heal. I stand up and move towards the door. I invite them over to Louis's home. They decide to come. But Ann asks if Louis is the guy we need. I tell her that I'm really not sure, but I do have those doubts. We reach Louis's house and walk inside. Louis and Mark are both in the kitchen. They stare intensely at me.

  "Caleb! You can't just run out like tha-" Mark was saying before noticing the others. "Are those your friends? You found them!"

  "Yeah." I say.

  Louis looks more shocked than Mark. He walks up to me and looks me in the eyes.

  "You leaving then?" He asks me.

  "Yeah. But I need one more thing from you." I tell him.

  He nods and we all go to the living room excluding Mark. I first ask him about how he really found me. After they all expined their story I realized Louis's doesn't quite make sense. He expins he had lied to me. He knows our real intentions. We were sent here to kill the king, which he didn't want. He didn't want to fight us or even kill us. So he separated me from the others in hopes I'd quit looking for them after some time. But he realized that wouldn't work. So he hired his students to look for them and expin we should just live our lives. He looks at me with pity. Ann gets pissed off at him quick. She yells at him, saying how the king was evil and he should have died years ago. Louis ignores her words. He looks towards me and start to speak.

  "Look Caleb." He says. "I won't help you with your mission and if you're serious about this... I will be forced to kill you."

  I give a good look in the eyes. I don't want to fight Louis. He has been nice to me and helped me through so much. Before I can even think of what I should do he charges me. He already has a sword in hand but he doesn't use it. I go flying throw the wall and fall onto the ground. I stand up as fast as possible but Louis is already running at me. This time he swings his sword at me. His sword is about to hit me when my barrier appears. I start running through the fields but he follows me. I'm far slower than him so he catches me quickly. He swings his sword fast and hard. I keep dodging it by mere inches. I move around him to turn back towards the house. The only way I won't die here is if I grab my sword. Redd cast water magic at him as I run towards them. It stop Louis for a few seconds but he starts dodging his magic. I run past the others and Louis follows ignoring them. I run up stairs towards my room. I reach it and find my sword. Louis burst through the door and swings his sword at my stomach. I block it with my sword and fly out of the wall again. He stands looking down at me from the second floor. He frowns at me before charging at me again. This time instead of running I fight back. He swings rapidly. I block his blows and attempt to counter attack. He dodges all my tries. He quickly over powers me. I have to use a physical boost with magic. I get faster and stronger. Louis slips up a few times and I use these to sneak hits. I hit him three times when he pushes me back.

  "You're strong Caleb. I regret not teaching you my magic!" Louis yells at me.

  He jumps at me. I dodge but he grows faster and turns towards me. The tip of his bde slices my chest. Before I can fight back he swings towards me again. My barriers block just before he hits me. I grab his sword arm and thrust at him. Just before my bde touches him he disappears me. A kick hits me in the back. I fly forward and roll a few feet. I stand up to look at Louis. He's ughing loudly while pointing at me. This isn't the same man from before. He's cocky and ruthless.

  "Is this the man that served for the king?" I ask.

  "Yeah... Well this is just me when I'm not faking for others." He answers.

  He runs at me. But As he swings his sword it vanishes and his other hand punches my stomach. I regain my bance quickly and cut into his shoulder. He yells in pain but still is able to push me back. This time I charge him and ssh. He dodges and his sword Is in his hand once again. He thrust it at my face but I avoid it. We ssh at each other over and over. We both dodge the others attacks. Eventually I cut Louis. It's a deep cut in his stomach. Blood pours from his mouth as he falls onto his knees. I go to stab him but he disappears again. I look all around but he's gone.

  "Caleb... Up here kid." Says a weak voice.

  I look up on the room and Louis is standing right there.

  "Look kid... I lied..." Louis says. "I wouldn't ever want to kill you. I just didn't want you to feel bad. You needed someone you could kill."

  Louis looks toward me with a sad look.

  "If I truly have to. I'll die for the king." Louis tell me.

  He puts his sword up to his neck. He gives me a smile before lodging it into his neck. He pushes it deeper and deeper. His face has a look of pain. After almost ten seconds of this he fall back. The force of the fall pushes the sword all the way through. His head fall off the roof next to my feet. A pile of blood spills out.
