Here is my chapter:


The knight stood over Tamriel as these emotions went through him. “What kind of person am I,” the knight said quietly, that I would kill something without hesitation, that may not have been wicked?”

He bent down to retrieve the scale that was needed to create the potion, but was startled by a rasping chuckle that came from Tamreil. “Poor misguided human” said the dragon, as he slowly raised its head. “Feeling sentimental for killing a me? Even though, I tried to kill you?” Tamreil chuckled again. “The portal must have messed with your emotions a bit; you can’t even think clearly enough to do it in your head.”

The knight was dumbfounded. He knew he had stabbed Tamreil through the heart; he could see the hole! But even as he looked, he could see the wound closing. He started backing away, unsure of Tamreil’s powers. However, despite all this, he noticed something: how did Tamreil know about the portal?

Tamreil continued to mock the knight: “you mistake a prince for a troll, and start falling in love with Anna at the same time as your Ranger friend! Who’s ever heard of a knight and his companion, who are on a mission to save a damsel in distress and save the kingdom, start having a rivalry for a woman, that isn’t even the damsel in distress you’re trying to save!”

The knight was starting to forget his earlier sentiments for Tamreil.“Have you no honor, dragon! Hiding behind your magic, so that I cannot defeat you, and then mocking me and accusing me of that which is not true! Besides, since when am I going to fall in love with anybody on this quest?”

“And yet the only thing that kept you alive on the disk world was the though of the princess.”

I!... Well… how do you know so much about me and my quest anyway? Speak! Or I shall run you through once more, and this time, you won’t survive.”

Although Tamreil would never admit it, he knew the knight could probably do it, since he was still nowhere near full health. And though he didn’t think the knight could kill him, having a sharp metal stick stabbed 3 feet into him wasn’t very high on his things to do list. “You amuse me knight, and so I will grant your request. I know about you because I looked into the mind of a friend of yours that has been with you from the beginning, and in addition, I was able to see what happened while you were both knocked out.

The knight stopped breathing. “The Ranger? My friend the Ranger?”

“Duh. Who’d you think I was talking about?” said Tamreil as he once again rose up to his full height.

By now the knight was starting to think the portal actually had addled his brains; everything was so confusing: Spirits sending him through portals, a dead friend alive, an un-killable dragon with an attitude…

“But, how? He is… was… dead. I caught a glimpse of him as the whirlwind took me away from the island.”

“Mortals” muttered Tamreil, then to the knight, “you really are quite ignorant when it comes to magic. You really think that the only people on your side that can work a piece of magic are the hags? They’re hardly good for anything but potions. No, you have a much more powerful ally to help you on your quest.”

“The spirit of Midgard?”

Tamreil looked rather perplexed at this. “I have lived for ten thousand years, traveled all 7 dimensions, and I have never heard of any ‘spirit of Midagrd’. The knight was taken aback at this, but then the realized something: Spirits aren’t solid! And this ‘Spirit of Midgard’ had physically pushed him through the portal! Tamreil just kept talking anyway.

“You were able to wound me, in fact you nearly killed me, which should have been impossible, since I’m immortal, unless… ahhh. I sense a powerful magic about you, a magic of good, and do therefore deem you a magical. As such, I will help you.
I have a very important piece of knowledge, without which you will fail on your quest."

The knight, who had been pondering his new magical status, jerked to attention. "What are you talking about?"

“Remember Anna and the hags? The hags told you what ingredients you need for the potion. They were wrong on two accounts: first, you need a dragon’s heart scale, which, as you demonstrated already, I do not possess. Second, the pool of Lindax. You don’t need 7 drops from the pool, you need 7 gems from the bottom of the pool, and the only one capable of getting them, is the fierce creature that lives next to it.”

Even amidst the heat of Volcanus, the knight felt a sudden chill run down his spine, and already sure of the answer, asked one more question: “If the hags are so good with potions, why would they have the ingredients wrong?”

“Anna Choldrin, the great sorceress, daughter of the Wicked Witch of the East, enchanted them.”

Chapter 13


The answer was no surprise to the knight. He had been sure of the answer to his question, but had still asked it. Although the question's answer was no surprise a shocked expression crossed his face. "No," he moaned,” how can this be? How could Anna have done this?"

"That is not the question, brave knight,"Tamriel said,” the question is, why?"

“Why would she…” the knight broke off.

Let me ask you one thing,”Tamriel said,” Why do you think Anna lied to you about who she was? Do you think she was a plant when you found her by the side of the road?”

“She lied about who she was…because she wanted us to get thrown off track, possibly long enough for them to kill the princess!”

“You are wise knight,” Tamriel said,” Your wisdom shall help you later on in your journey, and you may be able to find the Ranger if you can answer my other question wisely.”

The knight considered everything that had happened. Tamriel was right about him falling in love with Anna, although he would never admit that. Or so he hoped.
“I do think she was a plant to try and make us fall in love, because she knew we would fight over her and ruin our chances of saving the princess.”

“Once again, brave knight, your wisdom serves you well,” Tamriel said,” Now go save the princess, and look for your friend the Ranger

And so our hero set out once more to find the princess although this time he had a different plan in mind. He decided to check the nearby villages for signs of the Ranger. He would start out with the village of Lindaxburgh, home to the Pool of Lindax, and check the taverns and then duel the creature that was next to the Pool to get it to help him. Then he would check the village of Mage especially to find the dragon’s heart scale he needed from the caves around Mage that he knew dragons lived. Lastly he would check the village of Magic Point as he had read that the portal to the Gods’ and Goddess’ world was so he could get the nine strands of hair from the Goddess Amazzony which he knew would be a challenge. So our hero, the knight, set out to Lindaxburgh to see the fate of him, and his buddy the Ranger, that awaited them there.

The Knight jumps off the cliff to find the dragon in Volcanus and recover a scale as per the witches request, to free Anna etc.

Oops, I thought I'd read everything - I'll change accordingly

[Note to self - don't forget to read things]

hang on - yours is the next chapter - hmmm

Right - read through and your chapter follows mine ok in the story - my intention was that the game (Volcanus Assassin (on the Archipelago map)) would be the next part of the story, the dragon slaying. Oh well.
