Chap 2 V The Scarecrow was walking arms swinging back and forth the shattered wooden handle held in its hand the tip a spike of sharp wood. The grass under its feet was black but slowly turning brown showing some sine of life. Within the dead land the only animals that had flourished were crows the birds that ate the dead had found a home with no preditors feasting on the remainis of life until. The scarcrow watched as a few black birds flew from a tree into the sky the wooden spike shot forward stabbing the wing of the smallest bird out of the 3 the other 2 reald around as they herd the sound of there friend calling out in pain. They flew twords there enemy these were not normal crows years of being the top of the food chain had made them proud and not afraid of anything that wasn''t a crow.

[ hp - 2] There was a small amount of straw poking from its bag face from the scratch. There was no pain just the feeling of some energy inside him being taken.

The scarecrow stood looking around then he saw something terafiying every wooden bone in his body locked up in the shock of instinctual fear . The sky burst into flame. The scarecrow ran from the fire never having seen the sun before. As the heat rushes twords the scarcows feet the light struck his back the first sensation of warmth shot through his body. Huddled down on himself the scarcrows body began to shake as words began to flash in his mind. [you have been offected by] [ fear] [Terror] [histairea] [Insanity] [mind shattering] The scarcow stood feeling a shattering and then a calm. The newly insane scarcrow walked on in aware of the ball of fire rizeing in the sky. Chap 3 The only thing the scarecrow saw was the road and the slowly changing trees. The power that had given the scarecrow life was making the long dead and rotting tree start to rise again . The nearly 2 days of life had past with nothing interesting besides the small fight and the rise of what he had come to call the fire ball. To scarecrow every new plant , rock and Gust of wind made a new love of life and his new found love for life Grew with each movement. The scarecrow had no need to eat or rest so many miles had been eaten up under its steady gate.In the beginning the new born scarcrow had moved like a baby deer on a frozen pond. With each mile the gate grew easyer and smoother till the scarcrow could strut down the road without a care in the world. The post that was currently in the view of the scarecrow each arrow shaped sine bolted to the wooden pole. Looking in different directions the scarecrow looked left and saw an endless supply of trees and road. As he looked right he saw a tower above the trees standing tall. It''s rotting roof barely breaching the bold branches. A red glow beaming from the very top gave off a sense of fear and terror. This had no affect on the newly shattered scarcrow so all he saw was a red ball that he really wanted to get a better look at.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. The town of high church had been a average town that¡¯s only odd feature was the church that had a large bell tower that could be see for miles. The scarcow looked up at the stone building that was the only thing standing as all other houses had been wooden and had rotted long ago. The stone of the church that had once been White was now a dark black a horrid aura coming off like tendrils of a monster. The churches wooden doors had roted away leaving a large dark hole as the only entrance. The scarecrow that had never felt fear for the dark and couldn''t feel it anyway he wasn¡¯t going to start now. It had no idea that the black aura was trying to pull the soul of the living things out. The scarecrow trotted into the darkness it''s soul so weak and underdeveloped that the aura didn''t recognise it as anything worth taking. [you have entered the high church dungeon ] ????? Pov Red eyes opened as a message appeared [Enemy has entered dungeon] A dark laugh rang through the halls making every monster of the dungeon hide in fear.All but one scared that they would be the reson for the laugh as they no who ever was would die slowly and painful. The one exception to the rule let out his own soft chuckle happy as he had been in a while. Chap 4 Narrator Pov Dungeons in the world of Eden are places where powerful monsters make there dens they gain the ability to create a miasma that produces lesser strength monsters of the same spices and drag other creatures inside. The dark energy warps the home to make the dens bigger and more dangerous than the outside view tends to imply. The monsters that become a dungeon boss normally are never kind to there intruders. The more they kill the more souls can be used to strengthen them or there dungeon. scarcrow pov The first thing the scarecrow saw was a hallway full of gothic stone statues of a monsters fetherd creture that stood taller than a man with massive black wings for hands a spear like beak and 3 large talons on the end of its large bird like feet the cold stone eyes stared out in silent hate. This horrific image had very little affect on the scarecrows thoughts the wooden legs were just about to start moving when a screach came from above. A red eyed crow with dark black wings came screaming down from the darkness as the birds wings were in range of the scarecrows spear the crows eyes glowed red with a unnatural demonic light. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. The red light caused the scarecrow to pause as a message popped up [ red eye of Paralysing ] The crow flew twords the stick neck of the scarecrow it¡¯s plan to snap the head from his shoulder that was its plan up until it was stabbed through by the wooden spear. As the spear was pulled out as a wooden hand came down on the neck of the bird and between the stone floor and wooden hand the monsters neck snapped with a sharp dry crack. Tho along with the bird one of the scarcrows fingers cracked hanging from only a small thread of wood. - 1 Hp [paralysing has no effect on those of the living scarecrow race] As the glow of the eyes faded the scarecrow looted the body.

Her golden blonde hair was dripping with sweat as she used some power to see what had absorbed so much power from her. The goddess eyes were blocked by the miasma of a dungeon it would take more power than she currently had in her depleted state to pears through it so she just looked on in angry as whoever had stolen her power was hidden from her view. As she was about to look away a pulse of demonic energy nocked her off her golden throne. Hevan shook with the rage of a goddess. Chap 6 The first thing the scarecrow felt was new energy that had been to weak to notice had started flickering in and out of touch.

Three hours later the scarecrows sences returned looking at the wooden beams above there was something shining in on one of the saport pillars jumping to its feet the scarecrow tried to jump for the shiny but it was no use. Then he looked at the black tipped spear with what could be called a painted grin.

The old beam exploded as all but a few of the scarecrows manna was fed into the blast the beam fell the scarecrow lept back from the falling wood and stone.
