After much time away from the computer I shall resume my story. Sorry for the wait.


Syris awoke to find himself on one of the church's pews. Syris sat up groggily and looked around. It was daylight and 94% of the people were still alive. However, it seemed the people were even more upset than before. As soon as his head cleared, he got up.

"Syris," a familiar voice called, "You're finally awake." Megadeth strolled over to Syris with Psycho right behind him.

"What's with the villagers?" Syris asked, "They all seem to be on edge."

"Well," Megadeth sighed, "Here's the thing....." Megadeth began to explain the events of what happened after Syris passed out. I'm far to lazy to make the whole explanation in dialogue, so I'll give you the basics of what Megadeth said.

After Syris passed out and the sun came up, everyone cheered for their victory. Psycho checked Syris's pulse to make sure he was still alive. Suddenly the sky turned black. The sky was blanketed by a black swirling mist. In the center of the mist, a face appeared. The decaying, moggot-ridden face of the Zombie Lord gazed down at them.

"Mortals!" he cried in a voice that resembled a swarm of angry bees, "You have defied me for the last time. I was content with picking you off little by little. But tonight, I will show you the true power of the Zombie Lord! When each of you has become my undead servants, I will plunge this land into eternal darkness."

With a disturbing cackle he faded into the mist. The evil laugh lasted until the last traces of the tainted mist were gone. People freaked out and panicked. Psycho carried Syris back to the church. THe priest approached Megadeth.

"You must help us," the old man pleaded, "Destroy the Zombie Lord. Set our people free of that accursed abomination."

Megadeth, being the theif that he is, was unmoved by the old man's pleas, "Look old man, if it was up to me. Me and my buddies would be halfway to Tier(a kindom just north of here) by now. I'll ask Syris when he wakes up, but I'm pretty sure that he'll agree with me." With that said, Megadeth left the old man to his troubles.

"That's pretty much where we are now," Megadeth said, "So what's the plan?"

"I really don't think we have the supplies for a job of this magnitude," Syris replied thoughtfully, "I guess we will have to go to Tier and maybe send back some help."

"Good," Megadeth sighed, "I was worried you were gonna go all noble on me."

"Awwwww," Psycho whined, "I wanted to take on another horde of zombies."

Syris and his teammates gathered their things and headed for the door. Just before he made it to the door a small voice called after him.

"Mr. Elf!" yelled the little girl from the night before as she charged over to them.

She looked up at them with big eyes, "Are you going to beat up the bad guy and his mean friends?"

"Sorry sweetheart," Megadeth said before Syris had the chance, "We've got more important things to do."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned to Syris and said, "Is that true Mr. Elf?"

Syris felt dirty even thinking about leaving this town, when this little girl would be at the mercy of the zombies. He just couldn't leave yet.

"Of course not," Syris said cheerily as he kneeled down to face her, "He's just joking. We're gonna go get that Zombie Lord and make him sorry he ever attacked this beautiful town."

The little girl smiled back brightly, "Yay! I'll be waiting for you to come back and tell me all about it Mr. Elf!" The little girl bounded away and Megadeth tapped Syris on the shoulder.

"WHAT THE ******** WERE YOU THINKING!" Megadeth screamed, "THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN!"

"Relax," Syris calmly replied, "I couldn't say no to that face. It was to much for me."

"That's your problem!" Megadeth hissed, "You let your emotions cloud your judgement! What could we gain from this?"

Suddenly, Syris realized what would calm Megadeth. "Jewels," Syris said slyly," In the kinds of ruins that zombies live in, there's always some kind of rare treasure. We sure could use some of that right?"

Megadeth closed his eye and thought deeply. Without warning, he clapped his hands together.

"My love for money has decided that we kill the Zombie Lord," Megadeth said matter-of-factly.

They made preparations and they were given some gifts to aid them in their quest. Three healing potions, some food rations, water, and the priest fully revitalized all of them. With their gifts and the fate of those people in thier hands, they set off towards the Zombie Lord's ruins. A cemetary to the west of town......
