Fred wakes up in a small room with wooden walls.There wasen't much.Just a
carpet,and table,two chairs,a picture,a cuburd,and a door. Fred closes his eyes and moans.His head still hurts from the orcs hitting.He feels like such a fool.Falling asleep in the middle of a Quest.He is so ashamed. No more stops,he thinks.I must complete my quest!He trys to get up but he is tied up with thick rope from shoulder to toe.He is like a mummy with ropes (and none covering the head).He makes many attempts to get out but all of them fail While he is attempting to bite the ropes off,a young man in his 20s comes in with two Orcs behind him.Fred Quickly stops biting the ropes.Untie him,Orders the man.The Orcs do as they are commanded.Fred makes no hesitation. Alright,he says.Now leave the room so me and Fred here can have a little conversation.Should we guard the door?Ask one of the the Orcs. No,answers the man.Guard the stairs leading too the top of the ship.Don't Guard the by the door!This conversation is Private.The Orcs scowl at him and leave.Fred's mind is jumbeld.Questions like How does he know my name and why didn't he kill me have left Fred completly cluless. The man goes through the cubored and takes out two glass cup,some water,and some tea mix.The man sits down.Sit down Fred,he commands.Fred obays.The man pours the water (which turns out to be hot)in to the cups.Would you like anything to drink Fred?He ask. Are you sure?!It would probaly help you feel better.You must have quite a headache from that punch.I told them they should have used sleeping pills.The man was right.Fred Did have a bad headache.Fred decides to accept the tea knowing it is probaly not poison other wise they would have killed him in the cave. Once they both have their tea,the man starts talkingAllow me to introduce my self.I am Talan.I lead a tourniment which is the reason I have brought you here.He takes a sip of tea.I want you to fight for me on my team in the tourniment. Fred stares at him.Thats the reason you kidnapped me?Just so you could have me enter a tournement?!This isn't any ordenary tournement Fred.Many Kingdoms are entering this Tournement,although your isn't.Hell,yours doesn't even know about most of these kingdoms! Anyways,there was a war between the Kingdoms a few months ago.When I full kingdom was destroy,the leaders decided they had to stop this before all the kingdoms were destroyed.First they tried have all the Kingdoms rulers rule all the kingdoms but that didn't work since they couldn't agree on anything,then they decided too have just one ruler too all the Kingdoms.I could give you a five hour long story about ideas they had to decide who gets to be the ruler,but i'll just skip that.In the end they decided to pick the Kingdom with the most powerful army.So they used a tournement to decide.I've been gathering fighters ever since. Hold on,says Fred.So you had to use your army in the tournement.What?Is your army too weak so your looking for strong fighters to help you win?No,Talan says sadly.I am trying to rebuild an army.I had the Kingdom that got destroyed.Luckily the other Kingdoms agreed to let me enter if I could build up an army up by the day the tournement which is a week away. Talan finishes his last sip of tea.Well,then.Will you help me?
