All Chapters of The Enigma of the V: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rachel: Oh, Legend! Meg... What are we going to do?Meg: I... I don't know...Sven: I'm sorry. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I wish there was more I could do... They were all in a very uncomfortable silence for a moment. Sven then thought of a way he could at least try to help. Sven: I'll go see if I can find anything of use in the Library!He ran out of the room.Rachel had a tear roll down her cheek and fall on Legend's face.Meg: Rachel...Rachel: I wish there was something I could do. Anything! Legend opened his eyes and found that he wasn't in Lybia. It looked like he was in a place he knew well... A place extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was or how he knew it. There was a young man throwing food at a group of birds. This scene brought back memories, since it was something he would do often back in his home world. When the food that was thrown hit

On the outside world, as he stands watch to ensure safety for his friends, Richard is worried about his sister and his friend Legend. But then the darkness that had encompassed the land became thicker. We could even say that the darkness "leveled up", if that's even a thing… At this point, Richard can't help but think that they're all running out of time.Richard is looking at the mysterious man inquisitively.Richard: Who are you?The man was just standing there, with his gaze focused on the gateway to the Nightmare dimension… Apparently waiting patiently for Rachel and Nimrod to return from the portal gateway.Richard: You most likely need to concentrate to keep that gateway open, don't you? Forgive me... I didn't mean to distract you. I am thankful for your kind assistance.Mysterious man: There is no kindness involved in what I do here today. I'm afraid my motives go far beyond your comprehension... Perhaps someday you will unders

Richard says: "You mean the 4 fiends, don't you?" Meg replies, "The legend we all know mentions 4 fiends that once wreaked havoc everywhere. They had immense unrivaled power, and they antagonized each other. Their wars were said to destroy the world a very long time ago". Richard continued to inquire "then why did you say 5 instead of 4?" Long pause... Meg answers "because I know for a fact that they are 5".Rachel: Does that mean that our history teachers were wrong?Legend looks confused and says: "Guys, I'm lost. Can someone explain what's going on?" Richard gives him the background:Richard: Everyone has heard of the 4 fiends... I'll explain. About ten thousand years ago, four masters of evil with enormous power basically ruled the whole world. They had different territories, and they were all rivals... No... They were enemies. So if any of them attempted to enter another's lands, long and horrendous battles would ensue. At some point, a group of noble warri

Legend was taking a long walk in an open field away from where the party had camped. He was meditating about the choice he needed to make. He thought to himself {If I use the sword I'll be trapped here. I won't be able to go home... See my family... This would be my life. Forever! Forever is a very long time! I can't just abandon my world! On the other hand... If I chose not to use the sword... Is there a way for me to go back home?... How can I...? Get back...}While he meditated and kept on walking, he didn't even notice that he arrived at a settlement, filled with impoverished people. Old people that looked like they were in pretty bad shape. Children that seemed hungry. Improvised houses that were quite sad to look at. It was all a depressing site.Old man: It's been a while since we've seen an outsider here, let alone a healthy looking young man. Perhaps you could help this frail old man...Legend: Hello... I'm Legend. I kind of just stumbled acros

Both of them stare into each other's eyes for a moment. Gauging both power and intent. Neither of them moved for quite a spell... it was as if through their eyes they could learn a lot about each other. But their gaze went beyond the eyes... it went way deeper.The mysterious mage had the orb with him. He wasn't touching it... it was kind of just floating about, but hardly moving (at least the naked eye couldn't tell if it was moving or not). If you got real close, you could hear Merlin's screams fading away into nothingness... but that kind of thing would probably give anyone nightmares. Mysterious man: I trapped your friend inside this orb. It already contained an evil spirit that is undoubtedly feasting on his essence as we speak. He won't die... He will only suffer in here forever. Heh, heh, heh... And that's the beauty of it.Man in armor: I must confess I'm not fond of Merlin. As a matter of fact, I find his current predicament quite amusing.
