Memories

After sparring with Zend she led me to a set of chambers within the pyramid.

"Rest, tomorrow we take on a dungeon," she said looking at me from the doorway. If I couldn't even beat her how the hell was I supposed to take on a dungeon I thought to myself.

"But if I can't even beat you how am I going to take on the dungeon," I asked looking at her quizzically.

"The point wasn't to beat me, it was to test where you are in terms of combat strength," she said smiling before closing the door.

The morning after she dragged me to a lake oasis to wash up near the desert city. I stared at my reflection in the water with my jet black hair and saw a pair of purple eyes looking back at me.

Le flashback

"Do not disappoint me mortal!, if I am to aid your empire then I will need a test of your strength, " said a man in a black suit, purple tie, jet black hair and purple eyes. He stood behind a desk beside a throne.

"Lord Anubis don't forget to give him his name back," said a femine voice.

"Oh yes, very well,"  said Anubis as he materialized a staff and stomped it on the floor that sent me flooding back to the present in the reflection of the oasis's lake.

Le Present

" My name...," I said frantically.

"Master are you ready yet!," said a familiar voice. Was it the same from the flashback...

"It's Jay," I said looking at her excitedly.

"I'm coming right now," I said as I put back on my stuff. Zend led me to a cave on the outskirts of the desert village and proceeded to inform me.

"It's nice to finally know your name master. This is no ordinary dungeon, it goes up a rank the further you go down. There are seven levels. At the seventh is a Dragons lair which is the boss," she said looking at me.

"Are you coming," I said looking at her apprehensively.

"Yes but only to collect drops for your royal treasury as I cannot interfere in your battles," Zend said in a serious tone.

"You ready," I said taking out the sword I had spawned with.

"Oh yeah your not to use lethal weapons, this is a low level dungeon," she said in a serious tone with a come here motion.

"Here," she said materializing a staff out of thin air.

"Let's do this," I said leading her in the cave.
