Road to Shambhala Part 1

A few hours later, I am now deep inside the monastery again together with Lazarević and an older man named Karl Schäfer, who they captured for questioning. Though it didn't take us long to get deep inside the monastery, it took a lot of men to kill those creatures that are staying here. Thankfully they still haven realized that Chloe helped me escape them.

Being forced to go with them inside the monastery, I was looking around for Chloe and Rion Stainer as I haven't seen him once, which bugged me, wouldn't he be the first one to get the tree of life. I broke off from Lazarević and his men, who were escorting Karl Schäfer. I am looking around the area for any signs of Chloe. I only saw dead men who encountered those creatures. Though those things are killable, they take too much lead to kill at least one of them. I just hope there is a weapon that doesn't take too many resources to kill one of those things.

I heard more gunshots coming from the entrance of the monastery, which only signals one thing Nate is probably gunning his way toward Karl Schäfer, which made me quickly think of a plan to get Chloe out and me out of here. I don't know what Chloe's plan is, but I know what a war criminal thinks. He will probably use Chloe as leverage against Nate and force him to show the road towards Shambhala.

While looking around, I saw one of the creature's corpses. I looked at it and decided to inspect their body to find any weakness. I tried to calm myself down and decided to touch the Yeti.

Joseph: "Calm down, Joseph, just think of these creatures as an Oversized Mr. Wiggles that might hurt you when you get touched…" with this small pep talk, I slowly inspect the body. What I found surprised me as the fur looked like it was human-made, further investigating it, and found out that the head came off and found a man inside of the suit that looked like Yeti. "so they are not oversized Mr. Wiggles but a buff man who walks on four legs. But why do they look like they are much stronger than normal humans."

When I was busy checking the corpse, I heard footsteps heading toward my way. So I pointed my handgun, knowing that I would do nothing against those purple people. But I sighed in relief to whoever came towards me.

Chloe: "I told you, Flynn, are you sure you know what you are doing." she said while looking at him with a questioning look on her face.

Flynn: "I told you that if we get toward the tower, we could find the entrance towards Shambhala." he said while reading a piece of paper, "we just need to find someone to escort us toward the tower." Then he started looking around and found me who was inspecting the corpse. "You there, what are you doing."

I didn't answer him and stayed quiet, but I looked at Chloe, who realized who I am under the mask. Flynn did not mind that I didn't answer him but continued talking to me.

Flynn: "Being quiet now are we, well, whatever can you be a good dog and escort us towards the monastery tower." he said while pointing at the tower in the distance. I looked at Chloe, who was signaling me to accept Flynn's request. I didn't voice out my answer but nodded my head toward his demands.

Together with some of the men that Lazarević gave to Flynn, we slowly headed towards the tower. Of course, we got attacked by the Yeti wannabes as we headed toward the tower, which was hard for the most part, but I would just blast them with my shotgun. It didn't take long for us to reach the tower, but the only men left that are alive were two other armed men and me.

Flynn: "this should be the right place he said while inspecting the area." he looked around but could not find any clues what so ever. "It can't be right; this is the right place, but why is there no entrance towards Shambhala."

Chloe: "Flynn, are you sure.." but before she could finish her words, Zoran Lazarević walked into them talking. He looked like he didn't get the information he wanted from Karl Schäfer. Looked toward Flynn and started talking to him.

Lazarević: "you better have good news for me; I am getting impatient with all of this nonsense." he looked at Flynn, who wasn't doing too well.

Flynn: "Maybe it is in another area here in the monetary.." he said while avoiding Lazarević's eyes.

Lazarević: "I am tired of your excuses," he said while angrily looking at Flynn.

Flynn: "look, give me some more time; that's all I am asking." he said while being circled by Lazarević.

Lazarević: "hahaha... I have given you enough time," he said while waving around the odd-looking knife, "I have brought you the dagger, now... where is the gate towards Shambhala." Then he pushed Flynn onto a wooden beam and pointed the knife at his face.

Lazarević: "I have not come this far to be thwarted by your incompetence." he menacingly said while pointing that dagger on Flynn's face.

Flynn: "we know that the answer lies somewhere in this room; we just need enough time." he desperately said while trying to avoid the knifepoint.

Lazarević: "I already lost one prisoner, making the one who funded this not too pleased at what I have accomplished. I hope you had some good news for me, but your incompetence hindered me. Meanwhile, Drake remains just a step behind you." he said while inching his blade at Flynn's face. "You better show results, or you will get it," he said while stabbing the knife at the wooden beam.

Lazarević leaves the room together with the two men who survived going here toward the tower. I stayed behind and waited here with Chloe. Flynn went toward Chloe and gave her the dagger that was stuck on the beam then left toward Lazarević to appease his anger. Choe looked at me with a worried look and started talking to me.

Chloe: "I suppose you have any idea how to get us out of here," but before I could answer her question, I heard someone jumping towards us and pointing his gun at me, which I did the same. But I lowered my weapon when I knew who was holding us at gunpoint.

Joseph: "Oh, it's just you, Nate." Nate looked at me with confusion, so I took off my masked, which surprised him. When Nate realized who I am, he smiled at me.

Nate: "Oh buddy, good that you're still alive and kicking," he said while tapping my shoulders.

Joseph: "Same to you, good to see that you are alive," I said while smiling, which surprised Nate again. "Who are you? I know that my best friend doesn't smile where the gloomy Joseph that I know." when I heard his words, I annoyingly smacked his head.

Joseph: "get back to the topic, will you," I said while glaring at him. When Nate finally shook off my hit, he looked at Chloe to talk to her.

Nate: "that dagger belongs to me; will you give it back to me, Chloe.."
