Love

(I'd like to say that the support on this one is insane! I thank you all for this. I'd also like to tell you that the titles for Chapter 2 and 3 have been swapped as they make more sense the other way! Enjoy!)

I thought that nothing could beat my previous adventure, but it did get better. I was approached by a man. This man was named, Juan. He had travelled from Spain because his brother, Jose, had been kidnapped by a Witch! The witch had taken him because he had disrespected her. She kept him inside a tower where he would rot unless he learned his lesson!

I packed my bags and was ready to leave for Spain! I and Juan talked while we were on the boat.

"So, Juan, what did your brother do to disrespect the witch?"

"Bueno, fue una de las noches más tormentosas del año. Esta anciana vino a nuestra casa y preguntó: '¿Puedo pasar la noche? ¡Es demasiado fuerte para viajar a casa! '. Él respondió con 'No, no voy a tener una vieja bruja dentro de mi casa!' (Well, it was one of the stormiest nights in the year. This old woman came over to our home and she asked 'Please may I stay the night? It is too strong for me to travel home!'. He replied with 'No, I will not have an old hag inside my home!' )"

"I see," I said

"La bruja usó un polvo para dormir para noquearlo. Luego lo llevó a su torre. Luego regresó y quemó su casa. El fuego mató a su esposa e hijo. (The witch used a sleeping powder to knock him out. She then took him to her tower. She then returned and burned down his home. The fire killed his wife and child.)"

We arrived at his home which was a beautiful Sandstone house! Inside was his wife, Juanita, and his 2 children, Margarita and Robert. They were all sad that there Uncle had been taken from then. They also had a memorial for his wife and child inside there home.

The next day, me and Juan, went to gather our troops to fight against the witch! We travelled south for hours, but when we got to the tower we were ambushed by Pixies! They ran straight at us with bloodthirsty teeth and red eyes! We heard screaming as the Pixies grasped their teeth into our front line warriors! They weren't normally evil like that, but something was making them turn evil! We tried to progress without killing them, but some still died being flicked away by a powerful force!

After our short meeting with the Pixies, most warriors were groaning from the bites. We had to push through, we scrambled up the stairs to confront the witch!

"Hello There," I said

"Adventurer Geoffry," The shrivelled witch replied, "You are a bold one!"

I and Juan could both understand her, she was talking to us through Spanish and English! Behind her was Juan's Brother, Jose.

"I am Innis, the Witch Of Transco! I have been expecting use! You and your brother will rot here forever"

"No Innis, te equivocas! ¡Te quedarás aquí para pudrirte por miles de años! (No Innis, you are wrong! You will stay here to rot for thousands of years!)"

She floated in the air and a ring of fire surrounded us, 2 warriors got caught in the blaze and burned to ashes! She summoned skeletons to destroy us, but we were true warriors and successfully stopped them! I threw my sword at Innis, she dodged, it hit the chains of Jose and knocked him down.

"No! He may be free, but you are not!" She cackled! She lifted her hand and our remaining warriors began to be choked! I looked up in terror as our warriors slowly stopped breathing! They were squirming in her grasp. There was nothing we could do to stop her! She was too powerful for us!

"Hermano, sé lo que tengo que hacer, ¡pero no sé si tengo la fuerza para dejarte ir! (Brother, I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to let you go!)"

"Hermano, estará bien. ¡Tendremos el recuerdo de ti en nuestras mentes, corazones y almas! (Brother, it will be fine. We will have the memory of you in our minds, hearts and souls!)"

I had no idea what they said, but it became clear when Jose grabbed a potion and a sword! He poured the liquid onto the sword combining poison with metal! He ran and jumped, sword ready and stabbed the witch through her chest! The witch quaked and began to crumble, she then exploded into a ball of light!

"Geoffry! We meet again! You seem to be good at defeating my creations!"

"Tell me! Who am I?"

"You will find out, one day..."

"Who are you?"

"I am Proxima Ren! A dark enchanter who has come to put you to your end!"

Then the light disappeared!

"Hermano! ¡Eras un valiente soldado hoy has sacrificado tu vida por el futuro de nuestro pueblo y reino! (Brother! You were a brave soldier today, you have sacrificed your life for the future of our people and kingdom!)" Juan said

"Gracias her- (Thank you, Broth-)" He then closed his eyes and let go of Juan's hand. We had earned a great victory, but at a terrible price!

I left Spain with more questions than I had before. I still didn't know who I really was. I was filled with guilt as we had lost even though we had gained a victory.
