Chapter 14 - Chapter 14

So after careful thinking I have decided to give Tarrasque a nickname! I think he deserves a really awesome one so I'll call him Tarra! Also since gaining a familiar a blue electronic looking screen will sometimes pop up. The screen displays:

Name: Tarrasque

Age: 3

Evolution: 1

Current evolution: Astral Dog

Next evolution: minor Dire Wolf

Current owner: Masaki Koshimoto

It seems that when I get stronger so does Tarra! This means that Tarra will never fall behind. Anyway I went to the guild with Felicity because Kai was feeling sick, and we got a quest to go to an ancient cave that might hold artifacts. So we set off on our quest to the cave. As we near the location we get out our weapons and prepare to go in. As we enter the cave there are webs everywhere and then we hear scuttling above us and when we look up there are 2 black legs that scurry away from the light. When we advance deeper into the cave the webs get more dense and we see a lot of what seems to be spiders. As we traverse through the cave we come across a giant room that has a pile treasure and a wooden spear poked into the middle. a beam of light shines from the ceiling at the spear. As I go up to the spear and pick it up I see a writing on it. The writing seems to be some sort of Nordic text. I can partly make out 2 G's a U and a N the other two letters seem to be a I but the last one I can't even guess. As I swing the spear it seems to come alive and when I try to put in on the ground it shoots up and levitates behind me. Then from a hole on the side of the room a giant brood mother emerges. It stares its 6 beady eyes at me and looks puzzled. It then tilts its head up and screeches. A horde of spiders all come scurrying from the cracks in the walls. They surround us and some try to nip at us. Tarra jumps on some of them and tears through them. I cast "flame strike" and kill a lot of the spiders. All of the spiders screech and start attacking more aggressively. One of them start attacking my pant leg and tear it off. Another jump and Felicity and rip up the shoulder of her shirt. I then notice that the spiders are still coming and filling where the defeated spider were. I then do the only thing I can do in this situation. "IMP FORM" a spire of flame surrounds me there is another sharp pain in my back and a leathery object attached to my back, there is another sharp pain in my head as horn grow, my nails grow into talons, and my skin turns a crimson red. I point Excalibur that has now taken a red veiny form and the jewel that was once there is now replaced by a giant eye that is looking around. I then cast "WALL OF FIRE" and a flame barrier emerges from the ground stopping the spiders in their tracks. I then fly at the brood mother it tries to bite at me and I just weave. I then slash the brood mother with flame strike and it screeches in agony. It then charges at me. I couldn't dodge in time and it gets a hold of my leg. It injects highly deadly venom into me and tears off a chunk of my leg. I reach my hand out at it and cast fire ball hitting it in the face. it collapses in a flaming heap. The spiders all run away back into the cracks until there isn't even one remaining. I then cast heal on myself and I try to cast lesser restoration but it fails. Felicity runs over and tries to help but it doesn't seem to do anything. I then use lesser restoration again and this time it succeeds. I get up still wobbly and go over to the treasure pile. I get my bag of holding out and stuff it with the treasure. I also keep the spear behind me. As we make our way back to the guild, I eat a sandwich I packed. It's a little burnt but the flavoring is good. When we enter the guild and turn in the paper we are given 30 gold and 20 silver each. I give the guild lady the spear and I tell her to mail it to the Druid of the party of mount telebeth. I don't know why I did this but it just felt right. I then eat my dinner and go to my room. I flop into my bed and pass out. This time I have a dream about the heavens and the hells battling. The angels stabbing the demons, and the demons grabbing the angels and breaking their necks. The dead angels and demons fall to the ground like rain. This continues until there are only a demon and an angel left. The demon says that "Diablo will be known as the one that conquered the heavens!" And the angel responds with "Gabriel will be known as the one to save the world and destroy the demons trying to invade." They continue this clash until they both stab each other in the stomach at the same time. They both fall to the ground sword still in them. Then I hear "you see my child, this is balance. Neither is stronger than the other. Balance is a permanent tie." Then I fall into a deep slumber.
