Ori the Ball Mage

As they exited the cave. they started travelling the opposite direction of the camp, the idea behind it was to avoid as many interactions as possible but the exact opposite happened. Two minutes after they had left the camp, a girl was in front of them. The only reason she was not dead yet was because she did not look like the islanders.

Jake still held his bow aimed at her, and Rudolf still had his sword burning. They would not drop their guard just yet. In response to these threats, the girl falls down on knees and starts begging for mercy. She was practically grovelling dirt, you could see tears streaming down her cheeks Jake got confused, she did not look, act or sound like the islanders. However, Jake was not focused on her instead his attention was on the white ball floating two meters behind her.

The ball was completely white and had a clean look, it had a crack in it and there looked to be dry blood on it. Jake decided not to kill her, he told her to stand up. Her cheeks were red, she was short with white hair, her eyes had a look of thankfulness.

Jake was having a tough time deciding what to do with her, 'I don't need dead weight right now, and she doesn't seem useful in a fight, wait…. how was she still alive, she must have gotten attacked judging from her exhausted state' he thought. Instead of trying to come up with the answer through deductive reasoning like Jake, Rudolf simply asked the question.

"What happened to you"

"All I know was that we were going to dock on this island for food, then we got attacked… I was the only one who survived. I ran and well, here I am."

'How did she survive? She seems like an innocent, gullible, weak-minded individual. it makes no sense' Jake thought. Before he could make his judgement Rudolf had already invited the girl into the team. Jake could not revoke his judgment because they were equals in the team and it would be a huge dick move to do it. Instead, he thought 'when you let the dick do the thinking' as he looked at Rudolf.

Either way, now that she was going to join the party, they had to know her abilities. They both added her as a friend, and she explained as follows, "I have complete control over this white ball, however when it gets destroyed it hovers behind me until it's regenerated. I can make it harder, bigger, smaller(that's what she said) and I can control it over a long distance. By the way, my name is Ori you?" sarcasm oozed out of the last statement.

'that was a quick change in tone' Jake thought, he found it a bit strange but did not think much of it. They answered her question and they walked in a new direction as Ori warned that there were cannibals in the direction they were walking. After a few minutes of walking they saw a pig about 200 meters away eating grass, Jake took aim. His aim had gotten a lot better, it almost felt natural, his bow felt as if it was an extra limb at this point. He charged an arrow before realeasing it. At that moment it felt as if time had frozen, as the pig was standing and then the pig fell on its side. The arrow had gone straight through his small brain.

They walked to the pig, Rudolf picked it up. With Rudolf's unique skill, something was either too heavy for him to carry or it was easy, as the second his muscles would get tired or feel strained he would simply regenerate it. Therefore, carrying the pig was a simple task for Rudolf.

He carried it, they decided they would cook it once they arrived at their base. They started walking back to the base, after a few minutes they saw islanders, the islanders saw them in return and let out their battle cry. They were composed of one archer and two warriors.

Rudolf rushed at them, Jake and Ori quickly followed after. Jake shot an arrow as he was running, the arrow had a decreased accuracy and due to the warrior's reaction speed, it simply grazed his shoulder. Rudolf decided to try something new, his sword turned into a dark green as it cut straight through the islanders weak sword and cut his entire from the torso. The archer had shotten an arrow at Ori, the arrow would have hit her if it was not for the ball was in the way. Jake shot another arrow directed at the second warrior, this time it went straight through his heart and the second warrior fell, then both Rudolf and Jake turned to look at Ori, they got shocked.

Ori's ball hit the archer in the stomach which made him fall down due to the pain. Then the ball flew into his head, then it flew up before hitting his head again, and again, and again, and again and again again again again again againagainagainaignaingaaingainaa… Before what was his head was simply a pool of blood and brain bits, their eyes reverted back to Ori. She looked completely different, different atmosphere, different eyes, different posture, different everything.

'WTF?' Jake thought
