CHAPTER 3
I stand there, my mouth hanging open, staring. Had I heard him right? A guest?! Wizards were not to be trusted!
"I'm sorry, I thought you were going to shoot me," the wizard says, extending his hand, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Boomer2k, you may call me Boomer. I am the wizard of these parts." I just continue to stare. He glances from my to his hand. "Well boy, are you going to shake my hand or stand there with your swords drawn gaping like a fool?" I slowly sheath my swords and shake his hand. Then, I retrieve my bow, sling it over my shoulder, and walk over to the other side of the room, not taking my eyes off the old man.
Roger, on the other hand, takes a more friendly approach, walking right up to the wizard and shaking his hand.
"Greetings Boomer, my name's Roger."
"Greetings Roger! says the Wizard, before looking him over, "You appear to be a strong young man. You have a strong grip. You will do well in the fight against the evil one." Evil one? What evil one? The Elder must've seen the confusion on my face, for he spoke up.
"Please," he said, sit down. We have much to discuss."

**************
Young Prince Dumbles ducks under the wooden sword, which whistles through the air over his head. His name is actually Dumbledore115, but everyone calls him Dumbles for short. His opponent is his sister, Princess Super, which is short for Supermomof13.
"Ha!" he exclaims, "You missed!" Then he lunges, wooden blade extended. She parries, but he lands a heavy return blow, knocking the sword out of her hand. He then swings the wooden sword, stooping the blade right at her neck. "I win again!" he exclaims with joy.
"No fair," whines Super, "you have an advantage since you're older, and stronger."
"Fights aren't always fair! Think about it, Super, Rogues have bows, they can hit you from far away. But I'm fast, and one day, I'm gonna beat a whole army of Rogues!" Dumbles says, a twinkle in his eyes.
Super rolls her eyes.
"You and your delusions about beating a whole army of Rogues. Come on, Dumbles, be real, you're 16 years old. There's no way a 16 year old prince can wipe out an army of Rouges."
"I'm two years older than you, and I can definitely wipe out a whole army of Rogues. Father just won't let me had a real sword yet. I'm telling you, Super, one day, I'm going to be a Knight. I'll hunt for Rogues, maybe even beat Lord Blavier in a duel!"
"Oh please, nobody can beat Lord Blavier in a duel. And besides, you're the oldest, so the kingdom will be passed down to you." Dumbles opens his mouth to make a reply, but the voice of a servant cuts him off.
"Prince Dumbles, Princess Super, you are summoned for lunch! And Princess Super, I suggest you get rid of that sword before your father sees it. You know how he hates it when you sword fight."
The two run inside, discarding their wooden swords behind a bench in the courtyard.
Stan finishes uttering his strange words. Several portals open, and strange creatures begin climbing out. He looks upon them, faint disgust shining in his eyes. Shadow Goblins. They are human figures, but smaller, shrunken, wearing tattered brown rags. Their skin is black, and black mist radiates off of them. Their ears are pointed and they have red eyes. They are hunched over, typically crawling around on all fours. They have razor sharp claws and teeth. Such hideous creatures, Stan thinks bitterly. Next out of the portal steps a shadowy figure, seemingly made of black mist. He wears black armor, carries a black rectangular shield, and carries a vicious looking black sword, which curves backward like a scythe. Red eyes glow, visible through a slit in the figure's helmet.
"Who summons me?" the figure rasps, his voice barely a sharp whisper, "And for what purpose am I summoned?"
"To make war on all the kingdoms," Stan says with a smile, "We'll start with CC."
Dumbles and Super rush into the royal dining room. King Brickman sits there waiting for them. When he sees them a smile comes to his face.
"Father!" They both cry unanimously, rushing up to give him a hug. They didn't see him very often because he was typically so busy running the kingdom. They all release each other.
They sit down to eat and Dumbles immediately begins raining questions down upon Brickman.
"So how goes the kingdom? I heard there was another Rogue attack, did you catch any? Did you?"
Brickman held up his hand, a smile on his face.
"Slow down son. Yes, there was an attack, but we didn't catch any. Other than that, the kingdom goes well."
Brickman is interrupted when he is telling a story by a knock at the door.
"Enter!" he says, and a servant stumbles into the dining room.
"Sir," the servant begins, "Lord Blavier-" But he is interrupted as Lord Blavier, carrying something in a potato sack over his shoulder, barges in.
King Brickman is on his feet in an instant.
"Lord Blavier, what is the meaning of this?!" he yells. Lord Blavier grins.
"I bring a gift for his majesty!" With that, he tosses the sack to the ground followed by a bow and a quiver full of arrows. The sack squirms, but Lord Blavier pokes it with his spear, and the sack lies still. King Brickman looks from the sack to Blavier, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"A rogue?" Blavier nods, grinning like a child.

Another Rogue barges into the hut, startling me. I whirl around.
