The New Beginning of Arkonox Dorvan
Chapter 5
"Land's Ahoy!" a Kournan shouted uninterestedly as he rang a large bell.
A big sign stood firmly from the ground with the words 'Yohlon Haven' written
in big bold letters. We got off the ship slowly as the plank wobbled uneasily; at last,
we were at Kourna! Thorn took a big, deep breath.
"At last, we're in Kourna guys," He spoke happily.
Dagger remained silent. As we stepped through the rough grounds, I caught a glimpse of a
big poster posted on a big, wooden board. I walked towards it observing the written words
inscribed on it.

"Thorn! Come here, Look at this!" I shouted to Thorn quickly.
He rushed to me as he observed the poster hesitantly. He stepped back in disbelief as he
read the last pieces on the poster.
"Argh! This can't be true…" Thorn said in a shocked voice. "Varesh is
using her armies to prevent us from stopping Nightfall, now all the Kournan Soldiers will
hunt for us!"
There was a short brief of silence.
"Maybe…we should just try and avoid some of the Kournan Soldiers, but if we are found
we have nothing else to do but kill them," I suggested to Thorn.
Thorn took a moment to think as he held his chin, pacing up and down.
"Well, we have no choice…that'll have to do I guess" he responded.
We ran to the exit of Yohlon Haven, avoiding all the Kournan Peasants or Soldiers that was
guarding the village. However, there was a big problem. As we entered the gate, a group of
Kournan Soldiers stood guarding. Suddenly they noticed us creeping past as they got hold
of their swords.
"Look! It's the criminals!" One of them shouted as the others rushed in.
I got hold of my scythe as I got ready myself. Chanting prayers to Balthazar, I swung my
scythe with the strength given to me by Balthazar himself wounding a soldier. Thorn aimed
an arrow at one of the charging soldiers. With great force, he rapidly darted the arrow
straight into the soldier's neck knocking him out instantly. Without warning, a
soldier stormed from behind Dagger. As he swung his sword, Dagger re-appeared from behind
the soldier. A loud cry of pain echoed throughout the area as blood sprayed on the floor,
instantly killing the soldier. It was a horrible sight. We panted tiredly as the smell of
fresh blood filled the air. Dagger wiped his daggers clean as we walked out from the
village to a red, desert. It was very silent, only the wind was to be heard.
"Hey, do you still remember our encounter with Grenth?" Thorn asked randomly.
"Well…yes," I replied confused.
"He mentioned a girl named Mystery Mesmer…maybe she can-," Thorn explained.
Dagger interrupted as he stopped walking.
"All I know is…she is linked with a very important man, known as Jule…" Dagger
clarified. "Jule is the only person feared by Varesh since there encounter. He
nearly killed her in one strike but Abbadon stopped him."
Thorn looked at me with assurance.
"Well…we need this Jule to help us, maybe he can help us defeat Abbadon and his
followers," hinted Thorn. "I mean we are in enough trouble already,
Kournan's are hunting us now, the margonite attack in the Sunspear great hall and
what will happen to Kormir? Its all a big mess…we need help".
We continued walking on the jagged, red desert as the sound of our foots crunching into
the ground was to be heard.
Trouble, was the only expression I could think about, Trouble.
