The Sword and the Spell Book

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Chapter 3: The Sword Itself

Today was an interesting day, to say the least. After reading out the entry from the Captain's Log, we decided that we would search Fort Dundee, just in case it was still there, ignoring the Invasion that was only about twenty minutes away from Port Royal.



At about the five minute mark, Mr. Swordshot suggested something that nobody had thought about. On Port Royal is Fort Charles, a Navy Fort. After finding nothing at Fort Dundee, Roger realized that it was no coincidence that Jolly Roger was invading Port Royal. He was after The Sword too! He intended to take Port Royal and then storm Fort Charles to get the Sword of Darkness! With only about two minutes left until the invasion, the Shadow Sorcerors found a battle station, and the battle began.



We were victorious in the invasion, driving Jolly Roger off the island. Without sparing any time, we charged into Fort Charles, and I was able to find a nice Sergeant who I was able to "talk" into giving me the location of The Sword. Then we killed him. The Sword was at Kingshead, the most fortified Navy Fortress. We sailed to Kingshead, and charged through it until we got to where we figured it would be. The Keep.



We charged in and searched the place until Davy McCrusher found a crate that was emanating dark power. The Sword was ours. I pried open the crate, and held The Sword in my hand. Then things started to go wrong. The Sword was too powerful, even for us. Perhaps Oberon had cursed it so that thieves would be killed should they try to steal it, but either way, it began to drain my soul away. They didn't have much time. I gave The Sword to Chris, and he took the guild and headed to the Catacombs. It wasn't harming him though, as it was working on me. Within minutes, I was on the ground, with my vision going black.



And then, just in time, The Sword of Darkness was dropped into the Magma of The Catacombs, saving my life. We lost The Sword forever, but I was saved. I owe you all my life. Thank you for that. It must have taken a lot of courage to destroy what we've been searching for all this time.

But don't despair just yet! The Sword was not the only item Oberon had! Remember that he also carried his Spell Book, where he wrote all his powerful spells and curses! The Book itself contains great Voodoo Power! We still need to find that, and it is easily just as powerful as The Sword. But now, let's rest. I almost died there, and you all deserve a break. That's why I told them all that Roger was carrying rum for them.



Thanks mates, it was fun! Expect the next part of the quest to be some time in Mid June, after everyone is out of school!
