Magma carefully got himself out of the bed. He took a quick peek at his bracelet. He was still cautious about what happened yesterday. He greeted the inn keeper, "G'morning," she said.
"Are ya woken' up yet?" she added. They both laughed. Magma carefully went the steps.

Magma looked at everyone around him, and began walking faster to the stables. He asked the stablemaster for his horse. She gave his dark brown horse to him. Magma slided his hand down the horses back, and said to the horse, "Were not gonna have the trouble we did yesterday, are we?". The horse made a loud noise, and Magma crawled on. They made there way to the bank.

On the way, Magma noticed a man looking at him. The man was in Castle Britannia, eating an apple out of the garden. When the man noticed Magma was looking at him, he did a dead sprint, and climbed up the castle wall. Magma yelled "Yaw!" to his horse, and they bolted to the castle.

When they were approaching, the gate began to close. Magma said "Whoa!" to his horse, and climbed off. He tied his horse to the lantern outside. "Stay here, boy" he said. Magma began climbing the gate, and reached the top. He jumped to the other side. He then saw the man continue to climb.

The man looked down at Magma, and began to climb faster. Magma looked at the wall. He ran up to it, and put on foot into a hole. He began climb. The man was nearly to the top, but Magma was gaining on him. The man grabbed the top, and tore some of his shirt, and burned some of his side. He screamed in pain.

Magma continued to climb. He was nearly at the top, when one hole broke, and one foot dangled off. He gulped, and looked down. He reached the top when he saw the man running to across the castle. Magma knew if the man reached the wilderness, he would never see him again. Magma took hold of the top, and saw the blood mark from the man.

Magma pulled up, and took a breathe. He began running as fast as he could. The man tripped, and flipped over. Magma began to run faster. The man looked back, and saw Magma. The man got up once again, and began running. Magma was gaining on him. The man continued to bleed, and Magma knew where he was because of the deep red stains.

The man was almost at the other side. Magma just continued to run. The man jumped over the water, and landed in the wilderness. Magma reached the western side, and jumped over the water as well. Magma continued to chase the man through the wilderness for what seemed like hours. They finally reached a swamp.

Loud water noises began to echoe everywhere. The man fell once again, and Magma jumped and grabbed his feet. The man looked angry at Magma.
"What do you know?" Magma said, taking a deep breathe. The man suddenly took out his dagger and stabbed Magma, the dagger pierced through Magma's leather tunic. Magma gasped, and fell back into the swamp.

The man ran as fast as he could to a cave nearby. Blood began to drip from Magma's chest. Another man began approaching in the distance.
"Is anyone there?" the man yelled.
"Hel... p..." Magma said, weakly.
The man came running with his two lizards. The man gasped.
"What happened?" the man asked.
"A man... he... stabbed... me..." Magma said slowly. The man picked Magma up, and brought him into his house nearby. He bandaged Magma up, and Magma had fallen asleep before noon.

It was dark, and Magma woke up. The man had fallen asleep as well. Magma ripped a peice of paper out of a book, and took out a pen. He wrote, "Thank you so much. I have left 2000 gold coins in your wooden chest." Magma wondered if the man he was chasing was still in there.

He ran to the cave, and stepped inside. He walked down, and saw another man.
"Did you see a man with light blonde hair come in here earlier?" Magma asked.
"Aye, he went down to the third level." the traveller replied. Magma thanked him, and ran down. When he stepped down the steps to the third level, he was hit by a strange warrior. It was very blurry, and Magma couldn't recognize the face.

Magma ran his arm down his side, and felt his blade. He could hardly see, but he saw the warrior was facing his back to Magma. Magma quickly got up, and attempted to strike the warrior down. The warrior spinned, and blocked it with his sword.
"I have eyes everywhere, Magma..." the warrior said. Magma quickly stepped back in the fighting stance, and waved his fingers towards the warrior.


The warrior just laughed, and spit on the ground. They quickly engaged in combat. The warrior was stronger, and taught much better, but Magma was quicker. The warrior jabbed his sword, trying to pierce through Magma's chest, and stumbled upon a sword on the ground. Magma reacted quickly, and brought sword up, but the warrior hit Magma sword down to the ground, in a deep dark hole. The warrior pushed Magma down the pit, but Magma grabbed hold of a spike. He looked up.

The warrior began hitting his sword ont he side, making sparks come down, trying to make Magma fall. Magma looked at his bracelet. The warrior turned his back, as the traveller walked down. The traveller unsheethed his sword, and the warrior began to duel with him. As Magma heard the warrior finishing him off, he jumped up, picked up the sword, and hit the warrior into two parts.

Magma looked down at the fallen traveller, and warrior. He picked up the travellers body, and slowly carried him to the Britain Cemetary. Magma dug with his hands, and put the man the in the hole, and smoothed it over with dirt. Magma set the mans sword over the grave. Magma said to himself, "This was a long day". He looked down at his side, seeing the bandages. He slowly took the bandages off.

He walked slowly, thinking about what happened, to the castle. He saw his horse, still tied up. He got his horse, and fed him an apple from the garden inside Castle Britannia. He brought his horse to the stables, and patted him. He took out his lantern, and lit it. He walked to the inn, and said goodnight to the innkeeper, Annie.
"G'night," she replied.

Magma sat in his bed, thinking about what happened, and who the warrior was. He soon drifted off, and fell asleep.
