Chapter 2: Great, The Chieftain's A Maniac
It was the next day and the trio were walking inside the chieftain's house. The building's interior was quite clean and nice to look at, and there were a lot of trophy heads of different creatures on the walls from Ogre Lords to Wyverns.
Coming down the steps was a man limping holding onto a staff made of the bones of a quake wyvern.
"Travelers, what have you come here for?" he asked as he stroked his long beard.
The chieftain was of average height and had a seemingingly muscular build for a 65 year old man, he wore a simple white shirt with a robe over his shoulders.
"We've come here because we heard you have information on Volantis" as soon as Yuni spoke the atmosphere changed.
The doors suddenly closed themselves as the lights flickered in and out. And the chieftain started dancing in a ritualistic style while shaking his staff.
"You shall no longer speak of Volantis!" he shouted in a commanding manner.
The ground beneath them shook as skeleton crawled out of the ground all of them clad in silver armor with broken swords, and axes.
They all rushed at the trio, and Sticky split into three and rushed towards the chieftain and attempted to grab the staff, but before he could take the staff. The chieftain created a purple barrier made of electricity as Yuni dodged one of the skeletons and stabbed them, and another that was using a bow.
Aralia crushed the skulls of three skeletons as another tried to jump her, but the other sticky grabbed on to the skeleton and absorbed it.
Raising his staff the chieftain slammed it down creating a shockwave, and the bones of all the skeletons merged together creating a large skeleton with two heads that stood at 8'2 with four arms, and each arm held a mace.
It let out a guttural roar that shook the building as the chieftain ran back to the stairs and into his office.
Yuni grabbed her bow and aimed it, but before she could shoot the large skeleton slammed the mace down on her.
Aralia just in time took the hit with her arms as she pushed the skeleton away. Sticky grabbed a dagger from the pocket of Yuni and dashed behind its legs.
Sticky stabbed it in its left foot with so much force the large skeleton fell on its knees, using this chance Yuni grabbed another dagger and started stabbing the large skeleton multiple times.
"Die! Die! Die! Die you fuck!" she lashed out.
But before she could finish off the large skeleton, another large skeleton appeared behind her. It grabbed Yuni and tossed her to the wall as Aralia grabbed her war axe from her back and slammed into the legs of the previous large skeleton causing it to crumble into pieces.
The other rushed at Aralia but a arrow pierced through its forehead because of Yuni who was barely conscious when she took the shot.
Sticky grabbed a dagger and stabbed it into the front of the skeleton killing it. All of them tried catching their breaths, but interrupting them was a horde of feral dogs drooling poison.
"Fuck, to kitchen!" ordered Yuni.
Everyone ran towards the kitchen only to be blocked by a horde of skeletons. Sticky pointed towards the basement, and everyone rushed inside.
It was dark, wet, and eluded a sense of fear in all of them. As they lit a candle from the darkness was a chained up orc that was disfigured.
It was far taller than most, standing at 7'5 with four arms, its two new arms made of goliath arms, it had two tusks coming from its forehead, and it had scars all around its body.
It snarled at the trio, and once again the ground shook as they hear the chieftain's voice.
"Oh great nature, I call forth to punish thee mortals!" he called out to the Goddess of Nature.
The orc broke through its chains as the it dashed through them crashing them outside of the house. Soon followed was the house morphing into a massive wooden wyvern which roared out loud as the chieftain walked out into the balcony.
"I shall show you, why you never speak of Volantis!" he threatened.
Yuni aimed her bow at the chieftain but missed her shot as he summoned the toxic dogs and skeletons. Sticky split into three once more as Aralia sharpened her war axe and Yuni breathed in to prepare.
Sticky rushed towards the pack of toxic dogs as Aralia went towards the orc, and Yuni towards the horde of skeletons.
"Fuck my life!" Yuni cursed underneath her breath.
She twirled her daggers around as she threw them at three skeletons. She spun around before stabbing two more in their skulls as one managed to slash her back.
She took a sidestep before grabbing her bow and managed to hit 2 but missed five. Another stabbed her on the leg shoulder as she winced in pain before stabbing the other with an arrow.
Aralia dodged a lunge from the orc before slamming her waraxe on its head, then slammed it once more. The orc roared in pain before grabbing Aralia and tossing her to a nearby tree.
The old woman watched from afar as she chuckled and spoke to herself.
"Pathetic little mortals."
Sticky managed to kill all the toxic dogs and went towards Yuni to help but was blocked by the chieftain.
"I'm interested in you, so you're not helping anyone." he swung his staff as a lightning bolt shot out of it.
Sticky dodged as he called for his other halves to combine. The chieftain then shook his staff once more creating thousands of lightning bolts to fall on Sticky injuring them to the point of near death.
"Join me, and you'll live." he walked closer as he bent towards the level of the slime.
Sticky made a gurgling noise, and as soon as the chieftain looked behind was stabbed in the eye by his other half.
The gurgling noise translated.
"I'm a slime, don't forget that."
