Battle with the Beastmaster - The Final Encounter

Once again I was at the swamp, looking for possible places of where the Beastmaster could have hid the Books of Seals. Difficult as it was since the swamp was all murky, misty and indefinitely a horrendous stench that filled my nostrils. I had revised my possible attacks on a serpent assuming that this time, I would possibly have the upper hand; assuming was where I went wrong..

I reached the opening where my last battle was held, and spotted on a piece of jagged rock, the Books of Seals; the Beastmaster, nowhere in sight. Slowly, I made an approach towards the books, cautiously trying to smell the trap, trying to hear as precise any rustling sounds that might have come from Slithus. If my opponent was supposed to be Slithus..


I neared the books almost barely grasping it with my hands when I felt the hair on my back stand. With a gulp, not knowing what was behind me or how easily I was ambushed, I had to think of an escape route. It was when I felt a a gush of wind, as if something was falling against me, only managed to barrel-roll in time towards safety.


A large claw-like leg poked against the ground of where I one once stood. It was black, hairy and almost eerie like..almost like a limb of a spider..and I was right..

Stood before me, a large black spider, looking hungrily towards me, clacking its jaws together
with a sickening most sound. A spider..poison..antidote..escape....
I knew I had to make this my final battle with the Beastmaster. I was growing tired of my journeys to the swampland and pretty much the battle with the Beastmasters creatures. I lobed every spell I knew towards the arachnoid, frantically, hoping to end this as fast as possible while dodging every attack that was thrown in return. Exhausted, raised my wand and muttered "Claustrum Argenti", a silver bolt shot from the wand hitting the spider at its abdomen, bursting its content. With that final shot, the spider fell on its back, legs folded in..I have won.
I gathered all the Books of Seals, gave the swamp one last glance, and left the forsaken place back to my den.

Battle with the Beastmaster - Second Encounter

The enchanted forest, once again I made my way past it to reach the zombie infested swamp-land on search for the Beastmaster. My quest for the Beastmaster is something I couldn't ignore, for in the grasp of him, lies my Book of Seals. This book is somewhat precious and most required in order to complete my training. Each time an opponent is defeated, a seal is gained showing progress but now, this book lies in the hands of the Beastmaster and I have to get it back.
I walked into the swamp, surrounded endlessly by zombies. These pitiful creatures seemingly just stare blankly into space, their eyes full of emptiness, their faces without expressions. Although zombies, they are pretty much harmless making it easier to pass my way through. I reached an opening in the midst of the swamp and in the middle, stood the Beastmaster.
"So you've come again I see. Trying to get back your book? Never! Bwahahahahaha.....Its mine now..."
I could only flinch at the Beastmaster's growl, slowing raising my wand, "I shall claim those books back..not just mine but those of my comrades as well".
The Beastmaster grinned, and before him appeared a huge green snake. Its eyes diamond in shape with a yellowish hue, its skin shimmering as it hits the sun rays. The only thing was, it had two tails, as if its been exposed to gamma radiation. "You want your books eh, well its right over here. Come and take it..if you live.."
A snake, of all things a snake. I never really paid attention in my anti-venom lessons and now, hooked with with a slithery situation. I tried to recall which spell would be effective against that cursed reptile. I knew I had to make the first move, one bite from that creature could leave me poisoned if not death. Not losing my focus, raised my wand "aques electres". A gush of water charged with electric spurted out from the wand hitting the snake, doing practically no damage, only angering it more.
"Water?? You though of using water to kill a snake??Bwahahahahahaha...this will be easy. Finish him!!" The beast master let out a cynical laugh enough to frighten the birds away. The snake made its advance, slithering its way towards me, its eyes now red with anger.
I dodged the snakes attack, hopped onto a nearby plank and did a evasive move almost acrobatic like. Funny, never thought I was that flexible. Gaining an advantage behind the snake raised my wand again and shouted " sphericus pyrorus". I wasn't aiming for the snake this time, I hit a branch from on of those swamp trees which manage to break it off from the tree, falling right onto the reptile. A loud hissing sound followed next.
"Nooo..Slithus..return to me" The Beastmaster gave a cry and the badly damaged snake made its way slowly towards its master. I wanted to end it there, raised my wand for a final attack but I was moments too slow. The snake was back with its master who dissapeared behind a mist, only a vioce to be heard "This isn't over yet..you will pay for what you've done"...
Exhausted, I returned to my den, not realizing the whole battle took me 1 hour this time...

Battle with the Beastmaster - The Optical Queen Encounter

It was a bright sunny day, a cool breeze passed through my spine giving me the chills. This time, I wasn't alone, with me was the Warrior Princess Sook-Sook, a skillful young lady who was once said to bludgeon a thousand fishes together into a pulp with her bare hands. We were off on our journey to encounter the Optical Queen together. Now the Optical Queen is known for creating much illusions to deceive the eye, it was said what the eyes don't see, the mind don't know but in the eyes of the queen, what the eyes see is what you wouldn't know.

"Its rather cold out here, lets hitch a ride on those carriages" The Warrior Princess addressed, staring blankly into the open. Indeed it was a cold morning despite the sun, with a glance to her, i nodded my head in reply. "Ok".

We stopped the carriage a nearby distant from where the Optical Queen was, and continued the trail on foot. In my mind, memorizing the required spells to take control of the illusions that were to be produced. We reached a large door but before we could react to open it, a dreadful troll blocked our path. "What business have you over here? This place is off limits.." the troll mumbled through its stained teeth. " We are here on business with the Optical Queen..she is expecting us" we replied. The troll looks at us reluctantly, then swung the doors open. "wait here" it said in a low voice.

We waited a while before being entertained by the queen. " I was expecting you..Are you ready?" In unison, we nodded. Not saying anything else, the queen summoned before us a huge eyeball-like creature....

"Whats that?" I asked staring at the newly conjured creature. The queen gave a meek smile almost evil-like, " deal with it ". I took a step back, eyes still fixed on the creature, slowly I drawed out my wand. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Sook-Sook had already drawn out her club of bludgeoning, waiting to strike.
The eyeball-like thing attacked me first. I took another step back, raised my wand in the air "sphericus pyrorus", a fireball launched itself out of the wand hitting the eyeball in its sclera. The creature retaliated for awhile before striking again with a deadlier force. Again another fireball flew out and we were both engaged in a fierce battle. Unknown to me, the eyeball thing launched one of its tentacles behind me knocking me down. Seeing what just happened, Sook-Sook raised her club, with a shout, started to bludgeon te eyeball creature, drawing its attention away for awhile.

I got back on my feet and started casting back my fireballs on it. Finally, we managed to defeat the creature, exausted but unharmed. All a sudden, the atmosphere changed and the queen appeared again. " Congratulations! You done well to defeat the illusion, I shall free you from your bonds with me". The Optical Queen boomed back from her thone.

"We did it! We are free from the Optical Queen" Sook-Sook gave out a delighted yelp. I just smiled for reply, knowing that I would have to encounter the Beastmaster later, only alone this time....

Battle with the Beastmaster (part 1)

With the end of my getaway, I had 2 classes of ophthalmology and 3 classes of extreme therapy ( by which is not that extreme ) to rework. Havent attempt the ophthalmology yet, hoping to do it tomorrow (thanks to Volkadov who gave me a much longer holiday) however, I did manage (somehow) to rework 1 class of that extreme shit after what I would say a very annoying process... Well the beastmaster told me to meet him at 12 in the canteen...however at 12, it so happen that it was also the same time to feed 'em zombies ( I have failed to mention that the reworking was conducted at a zombie hospital) so I was asked to return again at 2pm. Fine, made my way past the enchanted forest to my den, had a cup of whitish liquid and watched a series I reluctantly wanna follow.
So at 1.45pm, made my way again through the enchanted forest to reach the beastmaster. This time he asked me if I had the "sprafka" (literally translated permission paper??) from the dean's office. Me being held captive for a while, was rather lazy on obtaining the sacred scroll from the dean's office and it so happen i have yet to redeem it. So I produced a statement from my captors but it wasn't enough for the beastmaster. Told me to return the next day with the sacred scroll... Damn..I was like WTF all over again..but after some 'persuasion' (like threatening to blast him with a methane fireball) managed to rework 1 missed class...
The thing is, I could have easily finished all 3 classes at once..but the beastmaster started the session with a 'krok' ( somewhat like a sphinx riddle ) which OMG was indecipherable since i barely understood what the heck he was talking..thankfully I had somewhat an answer potion, which I drank and answered my way to glory. Seeing that my answers were "correct", the beastmaster proposed some oral questions to do....that was torture =p
Half way through answering, the beastmaster decided to go back to the year 18xx talking bout some really boring stuff..like 'uhhh dude, its like the uhh 21 century??'. Damn.. =_=
Total time of reworking a simple task = nearly 45 minutes
Actual time of ME speaking = 5 minutes
...and i have 2 more to go X_X .....till part 2

Chicken Pox....and the Chicken Dilemma

Finally..the feel of flapping my wings after its been clipped for
awhile...

Back from the hospital after a dreadful infection of chicken pox..i was like WTF didnt I get this before?? So I made a call to my mom..and found out I was actually vaccinated for it.. O_O!! (oookkkk and here I was happily wandering about a room full of infected chicken-poxed zombies). Anyhow, aparently I wasn't the only one infected by those zombies..aparently another from group 531 followed suit as well (what luck eh...my quiet getaway ruined...or so I thought <cue for mysterious music>) With the end of my so-called getaway, i ended up having a heap of reworks to do..bummer. Gonna bug the techer tomorrow (today) to let me rework all at once (or i'll blast him with some highly powered methane fireball....who am I kidding?)

And if chicken pox wasn't bad enough...my cooking group wanna dissolve itself..after 5 years of solid-stick-together...all over a chicken =p (somehow I smell the fowl in the air) But what else can be said.." c'est la vie "

My wings are still kinda sore..atrophied I would say..so its back to exercising. Till then, i'll keep this updated
