- Jake! Wait for me! I need to go to my room and grab some important stuff. Don´t leave! - said Sam in panic.
- WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! DOORS CLOSING!
- Jake! Don´t leave me here! JAKE!!! - she carried screaming in fear - I don´t want to die! - she shouted to me!
- EMERGENCY POD TAKING OFF IN UNDER 5 SECONDS.
- Jake open the door! JAKE! OPEN THE DOOR! DON´T LEAVE ME! I HAVE KIDS! - Sam kept screaming, banging with her fists on the round window of the emergency pod´s door.
- I am trying to open it! It won´t open! - I shouted to her but it seemed like she couldn´t hear me.
- 3, 2, 1! EMERGENCY POD LAUNCHED SUCCESSFULLY!
- JAKE!!!!!! - Sam´s voice was now very low due to the distance between us increasing.
- I am so sorry Sam, there was nothing I could do... I tried, I really tried! - I shouted before seeing a meteorite exploding the satellite station and causing a massive blinding flash.
I opened my eyes in panic, got up and stayed sitting in my bed. I placed my hand on my face and took a deep breath.
- Stupid nightmares just won´t go away... - I stated while still shacking with an accelerated heart beat.
- Another nightmare? You really need to control that problem and just get over it! - said Jester that was laying down by my side.
- Shut up! - I yelled.
- Relax mate, I stood awake all night guarding the shelter so you could have your lazy sleep. - stated Jester flipping is knife in the air while still lay down.
- Like you would do anything to keep me protected... I would be dead by now if I would trust you with keeping me safe! - I yelled once more.
Then I got up, went to the bathroom and washed my sweaty face. I looked at my own reflection and all I could see was, a sad face of a broken man.
- Yet here we are! - he replied with a smile.
- Lets just go, we are running out of supplies! - I stated grabbing my astronaut suit and wearing it.
-Aren´t you tired of wearing that old thing all the time? - asked Jester pointing at my Astronaut suit.
- It is the only thing that reminds me of who I am and that still gives me some sense of humanity in this deserted place. - I replied walking outside and closing the door behind me, leaving Jester inside the shelter.
- Alright! Alright! I get it! You woke up pissed off today! - he replied walking past me and turning towards me while walking backwards.
We walked for some time until we reached an abandoned city. The place was full of old tall buildings with broken windows, dirty old walls and crumbling debris from torn walls and falling roofs. Some of the buildings had plants growing on them and roots aswell.
- Four years and we are yet to see any sight of humans around this place! - said Jester stretching his arms in the air.
- I try not to think about it anymore... That way I don´t feel lonely and lost. - I replied while carry on moving forwards.
We kept walking within the deserted roads within the city. The wind was lifting dust and moving dead bushes and trash in the air. The roads were also full of orange dirty sand moved by the strong winds. A few dogs passed by us barking and chasing each other. We carry on our walk until we reach an old tower.
- Jake... I have a bad feeling... Something is spying on us from the top of the tower. - said Jester while looking up to the tip of the tower.
- I already noticed... No need to tell me the obvious. - I replied while lifting my head up. - SHOW YOURSELF! - I shouted out as loud as I could towards the top of the tower. - I know you are there... I can sense you! - I shouted once more.
It seemed what ever was there looking down did not want to give any signs of it being there. I waited a few more seconds but my patience was low that day.
- If you are not showing yourself, I will bring you down here! - I shouted.
Suddenly I punched the wall of the tower causing the entire building to collapse into dust right in front of me. The building tilted sideways towards other buildings behind it causing them to fall aswell. Everything turned into a large cloud of dust.
- I guess you killed it! - said Jester scratching is head.
Something quickly jumped out of the cloud of dust causing some of the dust to rise with it into the air. Then, a large tall brown creature landed right in front of me. The creature looked like a big bull with a large muscular body and two thick horns and was standing on two legs.
- I am Krynn the Minotaur Champion. I am here to hunt you down and take you to Lord Taurus, the king of the Minotaurs. - the creature shouted while holding a large battleaxe and charguing towards me.
- And I thought today would be a simple peaceful day. I really expected to relax a bit. - I stated while looking at the creature charging towards me and getting very close.
The creature swung its battleaxe as fast as it could but with a gentle movement, I dodged it extremely easily. The creature kept swinging and swinging while I was dodging all the attacks. A few minutes later I got bored of it and allowed the creature to swing the battleaxe with all its might. Just as the blade of the battle axe touched my face, it broke into tiny pieces leaving the minotaur only holding the handle. The creature stood there in shock looking at its broken weapon.
- That´s... That´s impossible... How could you survive my strongest attack... I am the 3rd strongest minotaur in our Kingdom... - stated Krynn looking at me with its eyes wide open in shock.
- I am really sorry but I can´t be bother with this crap today, so I will go easy on you and use my weakest attack. - I said to the creature while folding my pinky finger and holding it with my thumb.
- You cannot defeat me! - shouted the minotaur crossing its arms to guard from my attack.
- You already lost mate! - said Jester giving the minotaur a goodbye gesture.
- Left hand pinky finger! - I said before releasing my left pinky finger and flipping it forwards. - The force of the finger being flipped caused a blast of wind like a punch to the stomach of the minotaur causing it to explode into pieces and red blood splat everywhere in the air.
- You could have let it live. Maybe it would go back to their kingdom and bring back someone worth a challenge. - said Jester shacking is head.
- Meh! I don´t really care. - I stated while moving towards the farm.
- Aren´t you interested in knowing who that Lord Taurus is? Maybe he is a strong enemy worth a good fight! - Jester stated.
- They will show up soon enough after realising their champion did not return. I cannot be asked to waste my energy chasing rabbits... - I replied carrying on the walk.
- You´re the leader here, so I will follow your path and choices. - Jester stated while walking backwards looking at me.
- What ever! - I said.
Then suddenly I stopped.
- Are you okay? Why did you stop? - asked Jester staring at me confused.
- Something its coming, something huge!- I replied.
- I don´t see anything in the distance?! - said Jester looking around into the distance, looking for any sight of enemies.
- From below! - I replied, looking down while an earthquake started, shacking the ground. - This is going to be interesting! - I stated opening a gentle smile.
