Title: Deadly Mail


Adawin - June 19, 2003 03:32 AM (GMT)
Adawin paced around the Chaos Gate. He was never good at thinking of keywords ever since his first on "The World" ended up with him getting PKed and nearly deleted.
"Fine. I'll use a random one."
Adawin approached the Chaos Gate when he received a Flash Mail. He stopped and opened it up.

To Adawin

Go to Delta: Bursting Passed Over Twin Hills. Comply or face risk of deletion.


There was no signature.

"What the hell....?"
He tried to think of who could've sent this mail. He tried in vain. Adawin couldn't think of anyone who could want to do this to him.
"Man, I wish Taria was here. But she fell into a coma...that day...."
Adawin's mind hit something.
"It's...him... That guy.... Oh no...."
Adawin suddenly received another Flash Mail.

To Adawin

Look at your left hand.


Adawin raised his left hand to his eyes. What he saw was beyond frightening. His hand was dissovling. Adawin continued the mail.

You have just been infected with my virus. Now come. I swear I will cure it.

Adawin looked at his hand again. It was just dissipating into nothingness.
"I'd better go."
Adawin hurried to the Chaos Gate and hit the keywords.
Next stop, Bursting Passed Over Twin Hills.

Adawin - June 19, 2003 04:06 AM (GMT)
When he arrived at the field, Adawin immediately took a quick look around, taking in the surrounding area. It was dark, with several storm clouds overhead. Almost all of them were raining thunder on the land. He looked around again, looking for magic portals that normally littered the fields of "The World".
He found none.
The only things he saw were shattered rocks and trees.
"Looking for me?"
Hearing that voice again sent a chill down Adawin's spine. It was him alright. The same guy that sent to of his friends into a comatose slumber from which they may never wake.
"Yeah. Before you say anything more, cure me."
The man just stood there. He looked to be a Twin Blade, with black leather armor covering most of his body. He was tall, a little taller than Adawin. He had two small blades at his side, undoubtably his weapons.
"Cure me."
The man still said nothing.
"NOW!"
"Now, now, Adawin. You are definately not in a position to make demands. Seeing as how you don't have a left arm anymore."
"You...I....." Adawin was seething.
"Oh fine. Drink this."
The mysterious man handed Adawin a flask containing a transparent red liquid.
"How do know I can trust you?"
The man smiled. It was an evil, conniving smile. Adawin hated it when people like this guys smiled. It meant they knew more than he did.
"You can't trust me. But just know that I could kill you now, but that wouldn't be any fun, would it. You will live."
Adawin sighed and quaffed the potion. his arm instantly reappeared. He flexed it a bit. It hurt a little, but it was definately real.
"Now why am I here again?" Adawin asked.
"You're here so I can have some fun."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes. Here's your task. I want you to clear all the portals in this field in under a minute."
"What?"
"I said-"
"I KNOW what you said. I'm just genuinely outraged about this job. I'd much rather fight through a level 10 field by myself than bow down to your.... requests."
"Well, you really don't have a choice."
"Did I mention the outrage?"
"Oh, fine. You're no fun. I was hoping you'd lose your temper, or something interesting, but it would seem Taria has taught you well."
"Don't.....EVER.....say...her name.... AGAIN...."
"Touched a nerve, have I?"
"That's it. You wanna fight?"
Adawin didn't even give him time to answer the question. He quickly drew his sword and executed a perfect horizontal slice...
...and missed comepletely.
"But...how? I could've sworn I cut right through him..."
"BEHIND YOU!!"
Adawin heard his opponent's shout and turned just in time to block his nemesis' attack with his sword. Their blades held firmly together as they tried to push against one another.
"Oh yeah... I remember your name now... Haikashi."
Adawin let out a yell of rage and shoved Haikashi over. He toppled onto the ground. Adawin poised for his attack when Haikashi stood up. It was strange. He was about to be killed and he was so calm.
"Well, Adawin. It's been fun playing with you. But I really have to go now."
"Wait... All this time you've been...toying with me?"
"Of course! You didn't think I'd go all out on someone like you did you? No, I came here to have some fun. You're my new plaything, Adawin. My toy. I much enjoyed this Adawin. Expect another mail soon..."
With that last ominous statement, Haikashi gated out.
"Damn him.... He kills Taria and now he makes a mockery of me; Taria's....."
Adawin gated out.
