Chapter 8 The Six walk through the Blood Docks

As the Six walked through the Blood Docks Adam looked around and saw that the Blood Docks had several shops that sold different types of food. There was a shop that sold a large variety of meat many of these meats Adam had never seen before. As they walked farther down the Blood Docks they saw the Ocean of Blood was a vast ocean of dark red blood that stretched for what seemed like miles.

There were several boats sitting in front of the dock with hooded men in front of them. Victor stopped at a booth that had a sign in front of it "The Blood Docks Boat Rental" Victor rang a small bell and a small man wearing a red rob walked up a ladder and said in a rough voice " what do you want?"

Victor replied to the man " we would like a boat so that we can pass to the other side of the Ocean of Blood." The man narrowed his eyes and said: " what is your name and why do you want a boat?" Victor said to the small man " I am Loc and I am guiding these people to the other side of the Ocean of Blood." The man looked at Victor and then said " it seems strange that you would guide people to the Forest of the Dead. What are your true reasons for wanting one of my boats?" Adam stepped forward and said, " we are the Six of Legend and were on an Epic Quest to the Realm of Morphawraith so that I may defeat Zargorwarth the Demon Lord and restore peace to this world."

The small salesman heard this and climbed down from his ladder and opened a door he then stepped out and gave Victor a golden ticket and said: " This is for the last boatman on the dock he will get you to the Forest of the Dead the quickest, all you need to do is show him this ticket." Victor thanked the man and they headed to the last boatman on the dock

he was on a longboat made of skeleton bones his cloak was as dark as night the Boatman turned around and said in a bone-chilling voice " do you have a ticket?" Victor held out the ticket and the Boatman took the ticket as he did a ramp extended from his boat the Hooded Boatman said: " you may enter my boat." The Six entered the boat after everyone was in the boat the Hooded Boatman said: " where would you like to go?" Victor said to the Hooded Boatman " we need to go to the Forest of the Dead."

The Hooded Boatman replied coldly " very well I will take you there." As the boat shoved off Adam asked the Hooded Boatman " what is your name." the Hooded Boatman replied without turning around " my name is Malgar the Boatman." The Six were silent for a while until Malgar the Boatman said to them " it will be a while until we reach the Shores of the Dead so to pass the time I will tell you a tale. So please sit and make yourselves comfortable."

The Six sat down and without turning around Malgar cleared his throat and said: " I must first warn you that everything in this tale is true so take to heart that what I am telling you is true." Adam asked Malgar " what is it that you will tell us?" Malgar replied " I am telling you the tale of my brother Drax the King of the Dead
