::Jake set out for Dark Wood. He didn't know what to expect. He looked and looked for his brother. The spirit world this place was called, where Jake was born. Looking for so long, he took the guts to go find him. And so the journey began.
* * *
Jake was walking through the forest of Dark Wood not quite there yet. Slowly he approached the place. Spirits gliding back and forth. Humans were around, but not many. Jake was brought up by spirits, he knows how they work. He looked around the place still hiding in the forest behind a tree.
He looked intently for his brother. To get a better look he climbed up a tree. He saw the whole village. People carrying fruit, water and all sorts of objects such as jewelry. After all, this was a very rich place. He leaped onto one of the houses roof tops, staring into the village. Glancing back and forth, he saw the master of the village ordering people around on his throne. Jake jumped off the roof. The king looked and saw him. Jake walked
closer to the king. The king yelled, "What is your purpose here?" as he glared.
"My purpose? Well, you see it is simple. I'm in search for my brother, Matt Mazur Heart. My brother. He lived here with me. He ------. "
"Silence! ::the king shouted:: You lived here and left? That's not allowed.
"But sir, I am in need of my brother."
"If you want to see him, you must battle to the death. The battle will fought between you and my battle warrior, Scorpion."
Jake nodded and replied, " Certainly."
Everyone gathered around the huge circle where the people battle til' their death. He stepped into it not knowing what to expect. He glared looking around.
The warrior stepped in. Scorpion. The name was horrible. Who would want to fight a man named Scorpion? He was huge with gigantic muscles. He had a sword the size of a lion by length.
The king shouted out sitting on his throne, "Let the games begin!" He rang a loud bell.
We went at each other, slashing at each other. Quickly he struck at Jake, but Jake was too swift and fluent, so he stepped out of the way. He struck at him catching him. But, it didn't faze him. The man striked back. Digging his sword into Jake's side. Jake grunted loudly and struck back slashing a line through his neck. Cutting his neck deep.
Scorpion fell dead and Jake stared at the king. "What now?" The king glared.
"You may take your brother." His brother came out from behind the king.
"Jake, you're alive!" Matt smiled.
"of course I am." Jake grinned. "Now let's get out of this place........."
