《The Runestones》The Journey (Part I)

Freyre woke up first and saw everyone asleep, thought everything was a dream, he went about to take a stroll outside his ward, and realized none of his classmates or teachers were there, he ran into his ward, to wake up Geir, Arne and Aiden.
"Geir! Geir Wake up" said Freyre as he waked up Geir first
"What's wrong" said Arne being awaken by the disturbance
"Arne! There's no nobody but us in the lodge, I don't know what happened"
"It's because we had to leave for the camp, but you and Geir wont wake up" said Aidan
"Weren't you asleep as well, Aidan" said Freyre
"I was but you woke me up, now we have to find our own way to the camp, let's get going"
"But wasn't Mr. Boran supposed to take us there" said Geir
"He was, but he gave up because you two wont wake up, me and Arne had to stay here just to accompany you two" said Aidan
"Now everybody is already mid-way to camp and we have to catch up or reach there on our own" said Arne discouragingly
"Get down in 5 minutes, we might still catch up with them if we go fast enough" instructed Aiden
They gathered outside the lodge
"Okay lets go" said Arne
"But what way do we have to go-?" said Freyre
"We don't know about that- " said Aidan and Arne
"We're screwed, let's ask city guards, they might know the way" suggested Freyre
"Not like we've got a choice, follow me, we're going to the barracks" said Aidan
They made their way up to the barracks only to find it locked, and nobody near it.
"We're totally screwed" said Geir
"We're going to the kingdom gate; guards will be there" said Aidan
"ok.........."
They again followed Aidan to the castle gate, where they called upon a guard

"Excuse me sir, we have to go to training camp, can you guide us the way" said Arne
"Oh, you see those two people over there, they are heading to the training camp too, we just explained the whole way to them and gave them a map, so you can just go along with them, the more the merrier" said the City Guard
"Okay, Thanks sir" continued Aidan
"Okay we need to talk to them, who's going to take an initiative" asked Freyre
"Oh, don't worry I'll go" answered Arne
Arne made his way to the two people
"Excuse me, are you both going to the training camp" asked Arne
"Oh yes we are, what about it?" replied Lucious
"We have to go there too, and we don't know the way, can you accompany us to the camp" said Arne while pointing towards his friends
"Sure, if you want to come along" continued Quan
And explained the way to Arne and his friends
"Now if you guys want to; we can start our journey" said Lucious
"Now that we're travel accomplices, let's introduce ourselves" requested Quan
"I'll start, I am Arne, this is Geir.... Freyre.... And Aidan" explained Arne while pointing towards the each of them'
"Nice to meet you all, I am Quan, and this is Lucious, don't mind him being a little mean, he's just like that" continued Quan
"So, seeing as you guys are humans, you must have come here along with your teachers, or a guardian, why are you travelling alone" asked Quan
Arne had a disgusted look on his face, as he shifted his eyes to Freyre and Geir and he continued "We did, but there were some problems, and now we have to find our own way there, as a punishment"
"Oh, hahahhaha, we're not so different from you, now that we have the same motive, lets pick up some pace on the road" Said Quan.

Quan and Lucious being elves knew of ways to quickly navigate through the forest, and they dashed forward unknowing that our group was a band of newly found mages, and they didn't have the natural mobility.
"HEY WAIT, WE DONT KNOW HOW TO KEEP UP WITH YOU TWO" screamed Geir
Being in the rush of adrenaline, Quan and Lucious didn't hear what they said, and proceeded to move forward, without looking back
"Well now we're screwed, what now" asked Freyre
"Let's just run at our place on the guided way, and hope we'll catch up with them somehow, they will stop somewhere along the way" said Arne
"Looks like our only option" said Geir
Our newly found mages proceeded along the way to the camp
While Quan and Lucious had no intentions of stopping, they put a good distance between them
After an hour or two had been passed
Our Mage gang had to stop, as they were continuously running for more than an hour, as they needed some rest and wanted to catch a breath.
"We've been running for atleast over an hour, and we haven't seen even the tracks or shadows of Quan and Lucious." Said Aidan
"Not like we've got an option
We have to move forward on the way even if we find them or not
We know the way
And we have to reach the training camp" explained Arne
Just as they were about to continue their journey, they heard a loud grunt
In the distance of the way they had to pass through.
"Hey! Did you hear that?" Asked Freyre
"Of course we did, it was so loud, we have to go on that path, i think it might be Quan and Lucious, and they've encountered something on their way" said Aidan
"Let's just go and try to help them, even if it's not them, we have to go that way anyways, let's reach there as fast as possible" insisted Geir
They quickly made their way in the direction of the Grunt, and they found Quan and Lucious surrounded by some goblins, they even had a chief goblin with them.
Known for being an ugly and brute creature, the chief goblin definitely didn't disappoint. Using some rags and leather of animals as clothes, using fangs of wolves as a necklace and a trunk of a tree as a heavy weapon, it surely added to his known personality.
"QUAN! LUCIOUS!" shouted Geir
"WHY ARE YOU GUYS GETTING INVOLVED, YOU SHOULD'VE ESCAPED" screamed Quan
In the midst of the conversation
The goblins quickly repositioned to even have our Mage gang surrounded
"KEHEHEHEEHH!! MORE FOOD FOR US, TEAR THEM APART AND BRING THEM TO OUR BASE!" said the chief goblin in a rough tongue
