CH.1

~ Present day~

Jack Thompson looked across the school yard at at the backs of his, and many others at his school, constant figure of torment that plagued them not just in school but wherever they came across each other. He was walking with his girlfriend into the school followed by the friends of the tormentor, who also enjoyed giving others life hell whether they were at school or not. This was Jack's last year of high school and he'd be free from the torment he got. A nudge at his shoulder broke his gaze away from the group and he looked up and saw a friend from the live action role-play group he was in. He handed him a paper and walked away a bit to sit on a seat. Jack opened up the paper and saw an outfit design. The notes written looked like he'd had his mom or sister measure him. Jack looked up at the guy asking some questions and wrote down some additional notes. The guy was about an inch shorter than him but was a bit huskier so Jack would be able to use some of the patterns for his own clothes to make the new clothes with a little adjustments. They say their good byes and Jack Headed off to his classes.

Jack feels a headache and shakes it off. They've been getting worse over the past several years. He'd actually started forgetting things and when he told his parents they said he seemed fine and was too young to have Alzheimer's disease. In the library in the restricted section during a free periods he found a old leather journal that looked very old. He was surprised that it was in the schools library. He reads it and it talked about the writer named Erik Darcen and their family being chased by an evil man. He and his cousin, a man called Alasdair Preamwood, and their wives splitting up with each family going separate ways. The bell rang and Jack marked the page and put the journal into his backpack for even days. Jack and many others had multiple backpacks preset with the class books for the according days. On even days Jack used his black backpack and on odd days Jack used a blue backpack.

Later that afternoon Jack was walking home talking to his friend on the phone about their next table top game role-play session. "If we can complete the quest I'll have enough money to finish building the final component for the city. All I would need from you is the dragon hearth and four mana banks. Think we can come to a compromise?" Jack asked. His friend thinks a moment before replying. "If you lend me your plans for the iron golems I'll get you what you need." Jack tells him it's a deal before getting a call from his good friend and secret crush. "Hey man, I got to go. Another call is coming in." Jack ends the call and takes the incoming call.

He hits the button to switch the calls. "Hey Jessica, what's up?" Jack asks answering the phone. Jessica Dawson had become Jacks friend late middle school. Jack was a year ahead of her but that didn't stop them from being friends and hanging out. They'd gotten into live action role-play and joined the same guild. "Jack, the guild master wants a meeting with the group Friday about the session this weekend. Think you can bring the three bottles of juices this time? I'm kinda broke at the moment." Jack tells her sure. "Great thanks I'm about to hop in the shower. I smell like burnt metal and am covered with grease. Am still working on the engineering project for class. I got two more weeks to finish it up. Also I got to go to a few appointments so I'll be away soon as school lets out. My phone is almost dead so I'm turning it off. See you tomorrow at school." Jack ends the call and keeps heading home.

His mom texted saying that his dad would be needing baby carrots for supper and that Jack should pick some up from the market store and to not go by the post office as the mail had been gotten. Jack sighed and diverted his direction. Up ahead Jack saw a group of people standing on the corner in crimson and black trimmed robes. They had a table set up and looked like they were handing out fliers. Jack crossed the street to get on the other side away from them. On the table a sign said they were the heirs of the crimson paragon. There was a strange horseshoe shaped symbol that had spurs coming off of it. Behind the few in robes a peppered graying haired man leaded against the wall behind the table. The man was dressed in all black and had a maroon arm band around his bicep with the same symbol. Jack and the man locked eyes and the man followed Jacks moments and cocked his head inquisitively. The man touched the necklace around his neck and Jack swore he saw the eyes of the man begin to glow. Jack quickly looked away and moved on.

Getting closer to the market Jack saw Timothy Davian the star player for his school and the ring leader of the school bullies in an alleyway with Becky Curtix, the biggest slut in his school. She'd supposedly had the entire college football team over and had went to town on her the entire night. Jack didn't know if they was true, but that wasn't important at the moment. Right now Jack just wanted to walk over and beat the crap out of Timothy. You see, at the moment Becky had her tits pulled out and was on her knees being gagged by Timothy by having his dick shoved into her mouth. Timothy wasn't dating Becky, Timothy was dating Jacks secret crush and best friend Jessica. He wanted so much to slam her jaw shut on his dick making her bite it off. But he didn't. He very much wanted to but couldn't. Jack knew that Tim and or his friends would stomp him into the ground. He had almost a hundred and thirty pounds on Jack.

Jack quickly hid the best he could and pulled his phone out and snapped some pictures getting a few good shots of Tim's face and school Letterman jacket. Becky stood up and bent over raising her skirt offering herself to which he obliged and shoved himself into her. Jack took more pics and a video. Timothy was the bane of the nerds and geeks, and anyone else that wasn't in the popular groups. With the exception of Jessica's presence around him, he was an asshole to anyone he felt was beneath him. If Jessica was around, he was a nice and behaved guy. Several students complained to the principle of course, but nothing was ever done because nobody could ever show evidence of any wrong doing. Tim would play it off as they were jealous of him. But with this he could get revenge on him. "Jessica is going to blow her lid when she sees this." Jack thought to himself.

Jack moved on quickly sending the pictures and video to Jessica and heading to the market. Jessica had been dating him for three years and from what he knew had never had sex with him. She made it clear that she insisted on getting through school and into college without possibly ruining her carrier path by becoming a teenage mother. Jack eventually made it to the market and got what was needed and headed home and jumped in the shower. It felt good to wash away the stress of the day under the hot shower. He couldn't stay under it long as his dad would be getting home soon from work. On Que he heard his dad enter still complaining about rent going up again. "How can they justify going up eighty dollars claiming its because of repairs and maintenance when they never even came and replaced the dishwasher?" He heard his father complaining.

Getting out of the shower Jack dried off his body. He had some faded scars on various parts of his body from early childhood from an incident that he couldn't remember. He was three months from turning nineteen and looked forward to graduating in two months. He moved into a position in front of the full body mirror he had in his bathroom. He stood six feet tall and weighed almost a hundred and ninety five pounds. His dirty blonde hair reached his ears and he'd started to grow a full goatee around his mouth. It was thin, but it'd eventually fill in. His blue eyes looked over his body front and then the back.

Between his shoulder blades a perfectly circular birthmark spot was a perfect circle. His back, arms, chest, and legs are developed up from his activities and fighting with swords, but not cut like body builder or strength builder. Rather he keeps a manageable build of a healthy gladiator with a little bit of healthy body fat. His chest is starting to show slight development of hairs growing. He trimmed down his pubic hairs and brushed the loose hairs off his above average sized soft cock. Even when soft he is a bit larger than most of the other guys in his gym class.

Not that he was into guys but when some are rough housing naked and bumping into others you cant help but see things that you rather not see. He was defiantly a grower not a shower even for being above average. When hard he could have both hands on his shaft and have an inch sticking out. He was happy with his size, body build, and weight. But he wasn't happy with his self confidence or the lack there of. His mom always said he was handsome but he often felt that he didn't belong around most people, or wasn't good enough, and other feelings similar to those. He didn't understand why he was the way he saw himself. When he was larping he was an entirely different person it seemed.

With the larp group he could be bold, powerful, adventurous, special and looked up to. But in real life he was none of that. Jack then became startled as he was looking in the mirror. A nude female with mocha colored skin was standing naked behind him. She looked to be in her thirties maybe late thirties. Her hair was long black and silky. Her eyes were aquamarine blue. At the outer corner of her eyes was a lightly colored birthmark or skin pigment alteration in coloring that made the area lighter than the skin. They were shaped like a hand fan. Her body was naked. Her breasts perky with dark nipples. She walked forward up behind Jack pressing her naked body into his. He could feel the warmth of her body. The feeling on her perky breasts with hard nipples seemed to dig into his back. Her hands slipped around his hips as her lips met his neck nipping at the base. Jack spun around and was surprised to see that nobody was there. After calming his heart rate, Jack slipped on some clothes and headed down for supper.

Jack's mom, dad, and younger sister was already at the table. Jacks sister Sarah was graduating with Jack and would be moving away to attend college two states away. "So Jack I need you to remember to get the grass cut and repair the shed door while we're gone. The rent has been paid yesterday, but there's two checks made out for the water and electricity bills. Remember to drop them off on your way to school. We'll be gone a week and we expect you two to keep the house in order and no parties. The Doodaks will be keeping an eye out and will let us know if you two act up. We've been waiting three years to be able to take this trip and heaven forbid you two make us miss it. Do I make myself clear?" Jacks dad says pointing his fork at the two of them and they nod their heads. "Good the taxi will be here at five sharp in the morning and we will have a two hour flight at six and will be boarding the ship at nine-thirty. Our phone will be packed so we won't have service for our phones but we will call from the boat."

Jacks parents had been planning their anniversary to go on a cruise and with life, work, and bills they had to save up for the cruise. Jack was happy for them to be able to get away and enjoy some fun. Jack and the family finished up supper and Jack did some homework and did a bit of work on his underground ark city he was planning for the table top game. It'd came to him in several dreams. Jack had dreams about it for several months and decided to put it on paper. It covered fifty square miles. It had everything needed to be self sustaining. Farms, ranches, forests, lakes, schools, markets, security and military, political offices, and so on. It was large enough to have forty thousand residence comfortably. Jack had worked a lot on this fictional city and had it where the city had a massively tall thick wall surrounding the city. A large eight feet tall and three feet thick door could be lowered in the time of need to keep out intruders. Jack smiled to himself and says in a whisper. "If only something like this was real. It'd be awesome." Jack finishes up and heads to bed.

As he's dreaming he sees a dark silhouette female figure kissing him down his body. She licks and bites his nipples lightly. The feeling causes him to feel himself jerk from the feeling. She kisses his torso and licks his belly button. He feels hands stroking and caressing his manhood. He feels himself begin to harden. He feels something warm and wet envelope him. He looks down and only sees a shadow of a head bobbing up and down. He feels the suction and licking, he hears the sounds of grunts, and slurping. He feels himself building up pressure. He is about to erupt and then he jerks awake. He looks around sees nobody and then falls back to sleep.

The next day Jack is at his locker and his phone alerted him that he had a text. Before he could read it he could hear Jessica cussing moving her way through the flow of students cussing like a sailor and he could tell she was extremely pissed. He couldn't see her but he could imagine the look on her face. He smiled a huge grin as he knew she'd seen what he'd sent. Pulling his phone out he sees it a text from Jessica. 'Hey I just got your pictures and video. I forgot to turn my phone back on before leaving the house. I turned it on coming into the school. Thanks for letting me know about this Jack. I really appreciate you always watching out for me. I don't know what I'd do without you being there for me. I might not have said it before but you are my rock. I'm really pissed right now and am about to go hunt down my soon to be ex boyfriend. Love ya Jack.' Jessica was pissed and rightfully so. She'd trusted him to be faithful to her and he broke that trust. Jack hoped she wouldn't do anything that would get her in trouble. Jack finished up the school day and went home.

The next morning Jack rode to school with his sister and they had about thirty minutes before the school bell would ring. Jack had forgotten some homework as he was thinking about the bill payments, and his sister forgot to grab her lunch. They went to the principle and got permission to hurry home and retrieve what they'd forgotten. As they exited the school they passed Timothy who was about twenty feet away with his friends heading into the school. Timothy gave Jack an evil smirk and headed in with his friends. Jack and his sister jumped into the car and sped out of the parking lot. Jack tried telling Sarah to slow down and buckle up but she said that she didn't want to be too late getting back to school.

His sister laughs. "Don't worry Jack, I know these roads. We'll be.." Sarah swerved the car to avoid a flat bed delivery truck who apparently wasn't watching the road as he backed out of a driveway. Sarah flew around the truck missing it, but as she tried to his the brakes nothing happened. Sarah looks down at the floorboard stomping the brakes and hears her name being yelled. "Sarah watch out! A ca..." Sarah jerked her head up in time to see that they were slamming into the front driver side of a parked car. Sarah's car spun around and is hit by another fast big rig truck. Jack hits his head on the dashboard on the initial hit. Then is flung toward his sister who'd hit the steering wheel. Jack feels himself being tossed around as the second hit to the driver side flips them over tumbling a few times. The crunching of metal is deafening.

Jack is in sever pain and is hanging upside down. His head is ringing and vision is blurry and getting dark. "Sarah? Sarah?" Jack asks as he tried to shake his hand at Sarah who now laid crumpled upside down on the roof of the upside down car. The pain Jack was in was excruciating. Jack felt himself getting tired but tried to stay awake. "Sarah? Sa..rah?" Jack was losing the ability to stay awake even with all the pain he was in. He turns his eyes and sees a dead baby beside him. He hears two gurgling gasping breathing noises beside him but can not see where they are. They're trying to talk but the words aren't understandable. Jack could hear other people calling out to him as he was enveloped into the darkness.

Jack found himself in a dark foggy place. Moving through the fog he finds that he's in a place made of cut stone brick walls and few torches here and there. Jack sees a sword laying on the ground and picks it up. Jack hears a growl that didn't seem like any type of growl he'd heard before. A short humanoid monster that had short legs and long arms and torso emerged from the fog. Its fingers were long and pointy. Its chest was skinny and showed its ribs while its gut was big like a beery belly. Its eyes were large and red. Its mouth was large snout like with large teeth.

Jack starts to back away from the monster and it rushes Jack basically springing forward launching its self off each foot. Jack wants to back away but the wall is right behind him. Jack grits his teeth and closes his eyes and swings just as the monster launched itself again. Jack hears a scream and feels the impact of the blade cutting through something soft and then hard and soft again. Jack opens his eyes and sees the monster is cut in half diagonally. The monster lays there dying and Jack looks down at the creature and then at the sword in his hand. He turns the sword upside down and drive it down into the creatures head. The cries of the beast stops. The fog begins to disappear and Jack finds himself in a large room. There's a large double door that looks locked and has nine glowing glyph like images down the center of the doors. Before the doors were nine pedestals.

Turning around Jack saw further across the room that there was another door along with three more of those monsters that looked like they were eating on something. Jack backs away and tries to push open the doors but nothing happens. "That will not do any good." He hears a mans voice say and turns around to find a dark dirty blonde bearded man with medium length hair. His eyes were blue like Jacks eyes. The man is wearing nice looking medieval attire. "I haven't much time. If you make it out of here you might not remember this. If you do not want to be trapped here, you must slay those beast, gather the statues and place them upon the pedestal for ever many pedestal you place unlocks..." The man is cut off and vanishes as quickly and mysteriously as he appeared. Jack is left alone looking at the three monsters and whatever they were eating on.

Sneaking up on the group of monsters he was very cautious and hesitant as he inched closer. Taking a deep breathe he stabbed through the back of the head of the first and drawing the sword back out he cut off the head of the second. The third jumped on him trying to bite his face. Jack manages to hold it off and it manages to claw at his chest. Jack flinches in pain and turns the sword around and catches the demon in its side. Jack throws it off and the monster gets up and runs off into the darkness. Jack summons up the courage and tries to chase the monster but couldn't keep up. Not wanting to get lost Jack quickly heads back the way he came.

Jack wonders around and realizes that he's in a labyrinth and he tries to find the creature and eventually gives up looking for it. He eventually happens upon a room that looks like a hospital room. There inside was three beds with a chained man, a female, and a baby. The chained man claimed to have been shot while trying to rob a store to get money to save his family. He was coughing up blood and the two bullet wounds were bleeding. One on the belly and the other was in the chest. The female claimed she was severely injured escaping from some bad men trying to, as she put it, do unholy things to her. She had several deep lacerations down across her torso. Her right upper torso looked like acid had been poured on her leaving a crater in the area of her chest. And the baby had cuts and its skin was turning pail and its lips and eye lids were turning purple. Its breathing was shallow and were gasps instead of deep inhales. Behind the three beds a cloaked figure of death appeared. "Your task is to willfully save everyone including yourself. If you can not save them, you can not save yourself. You must figure out how to save them. You may begin they haven't much time." The figure stated with a hollow voice.
