Part Four - Duney's Adventure
A few years went by, and Alicia's nightmares came true. The Charr army had waged war against the Ascalons, and all who could be, were sent to war.
Alicia was only sixteen when she was sent to the academy. She had fought horribly, not wanting to leave her little sister alone with no one to care for her. The last thing she managed to scream before they dragged her off.
"Duney!! Get to Kerk's house as fast as you can! He'll protect you! Follow the old trail through the woods, and sing the old song if you have to! Rayne will hear you when you come near and she'll come! Be brave Duney, be brave!!"
"Licia!! NO!!" Duney screamed at the Vangaurd, pounding on one's arm. "Let her go!! She can't leave me! No!!"
In her anger and tears she managed to curse and poison the men who were dragging her sister away. Although a monk they had brought with them had releived them of it, she kept screaming the incantations, over and over again.
"NOOO!!" She screamed and started to cry harder. "YOU CAN'T TAKE HER! SHE'S MY SISTER AND YOU CAN'T TAKE HER FROM ME!!"
She thought of every spell she had ever been taught and screamed them at the vangaurd.
"Duney, stop!! You can't beat them! Save your energy!" Alicia managed to yell back at her sister as she was dragged along. "Just GO!! Get to Kerk! He'll know what to do!"
Duney stood in the road crying as she watched her sister being dragged to Ascalon, fighting the entire way. After her sister was gone from view, she decided to do as she was told. She ran back to the house and rested a minuet, letting what little energy she had left rebuild. After she had done so, she started her packing.
She went to the closet and took out a salvage kit, double checking to make sure it hadn't been depleated of resources. She also reached for an identification book, rapidly flipping through it's old pages. She ran to her room, digging beneath her bed for her staff. As she pulled it out, she gently caressed the skull at the top. She also rummaged in an old box for a map, and once finding one, tucked it into a pouch on her belt.
Her supplies in hand, she took off out the door, stopping to let out her pet warthog on the way.
