Episode 2: Teaming up
Seth leapt up and tried to thrust the sword through the spell caster but failed as, the latter used an energy orb to send him off his feet and to the gate walls. "Why, why you are trying to escape, the alchemist wouldnt like that right? Are we that scary that you must leave your 'precious' hometown? Ha ha ha!" Seth looked down in shame but was oblivious that the magician was preparing yet another spell. Chochi, who was running away too, saw what was happening to Seth and quickly threw a rope around the magician and tied him up quickly before running with Seth out of the docklands gate and the first step to safety.
The magician quickly freed himself and reported to his leader, known as Zack the alchemist. The war had started and it raged on crazily, the dockland king was sick with disease so the dockland army were clueless on how to attack, they were fighting a losing battle. Seth and chochi made friends out of each other just becoz of that one incident, they exchanged stories of their homelands, learning more about each other, they both shared the view of a war-less world. They couldnt find the dock but only remains of it, they were stranded now. They hunted for food with Seth's sword, this went on for 2 weeks. The alchemist's group had conquered the docklands and now the land was full of terror with absolutely zero peace. What was happening? Horrible...
One day, as Seth went to find dinner, he heard a commotion between two soldiers fighting over a special staff that laid on the ground. Zack approached them and they immediately quieten down, he picked up the magical object and examined it. Seth knew at once from his great knowledge that it was a dark staff capable of doing great magic, it had to belong to a powerful magician. True enough, a magician dressed in a black cloak clapped his hands and the staff flew to him. All eyes turned to him, Zack ordered for him to be killed. He merely chuckled, "Zack the alchemist, your reign of terror will be stopped today by me, I cant accept what you are doing to the docklands and I want you to be humiliated and defeated!!" he later exclaimed. Seth was suddenly full of admiration...
