The Jungle of Temptations
Part II: Jake's desperation

Fonder and fonder of somebody he grows.
The seeds of his own misery he sows.

The Jungle environment changes as if time didn't exist. The colossal rain trees interlock to form a sphere of darkness. Jake the bounty hunter is trapped inside. The sheer chill of the atmosphere inside the vacuum awakens him from his slumber. Jake looks around; nothing but darkness. It was as if Jake hadn't woke up from his sleep, it was as if Jake's eyes were still shut. Thinking that the darkness is illusional, the bounty hunter blinked his keen eyes in hope to wake up to reality. Useless. Everything remained the same. Suddenly, a voice emerged from the circular void. "Jake, my dear. Reach your hand into the walls surrounding you and light will once again pour into your world."
'The darkness seem too real to be walls.' thought Jake. He was right. The darkness that enveloped looked to be never-ending roads, it didn't resemble a wall one bit. Before the bounty hunter could decide what to do next, the melodic voice beckoned again. "Jake, this is your beloved Candice, reach your hands into these walls and you shall embrace me." Candice was a girl whom Jake longed for. She was the only female Jake would go all out to impress. He wanted to move her with his sincerity and craved for her attention. All Jake had always wanted was to have Candice notice and appreciate his presence(that would be hard as the bounty hunter can windwalk and his skin is one of the smallest in the game) . And now he could have more, now the person had yearned for promised a hug if only he reached his hands into the walls. It was an easy task with no obstacles and could be done in a split second. Jake would just need to stretch out his hands and his longing wish would be fulfilled. It then appeared too easy, the situation seemed to good to be true. At the bottom of his heart, Jake knew Candice would never accept him- not by accomplishing such a simple task. All of a sudden, Jake recalled his original goal- to find the cure for the sentinels. Although in his eyes, Candice was the cream of the crop and the acme of elegance, Jake knew he had to rank the initial task as the most important one. Jake had to be sure of his priorities- Candice or the livs of hundreds of people. If she was an unknown, there would have been no doubt which was the more grave and important one. However, Candice had to be Jake's crush. This made the decision more difficult until finally, the bounty hunter decided. if his shuriken bounced off the darkness, it would be a wall and Jake would choose Candice. If it didn't, Jake would revert back to saving the lives of his people. Reaching his hans into his pouch, Jake drew out a blood-stained shuriken. He wiped it clean and flunged it towards the void.
Instantly, the melodic voice that beckoned turned into a booming voice. "Argh, You shall die, Bounty hunter. " As the echos of the voice dissipated, a figure began to form out of the darkness. Akasha, the queen of pain stood ahead of Jake and threw a poisoned dagger at him. Fortunately, Jake was blessed with lightning quick reflexes and managed to dodge the assault before launching one of his own. The Queen of Pain screamed in pain(ironically) and immediately disappeared. Like Yewf, Jake reawoke in the Jungle. He was greeted by a manly hug from the Anti-Mage.
"So, how was yours?" asked Yewf.
"Tough enough I guess. Was about Candice. How did that slut know about Candice?" said Jake. "Beats me, we can't do anything now but to wait for Koh. The fate of many lives of the Sentinel rests on his shoulders." assured Yewf. The Bounty hunter nodded in agreement. Side by side, they sat down on the leaf littered ground and prayed for the best...

The Jungle of Temptations
Part I: Yewf's Lust.

A paradise the lush greenery turns
Stronger and stronger his desire burns...

"Argh, where am I? What is this place? Shouldn't I be with Jake and Koh searching for the cure?" said Yewf. As he looked up, the Paranomic view of the sky above took him aback. The clouds were fluffy and of the purest of white, the sky was azure and beautiful. At the same time, the weather was calm and peaceful. In addition, there was a slight breeze. The touch it left on Yewf's face was nothing short of heavenly. 'There must be something on the land to suit this. ' thought yewf. He was right. As he looked down, the mere sight of that grassy field left him standing in awe. It was nothing like he had seen before. The lush greenery was perfectly compatible with the sky. In fact, it went one step further- it maximised the appeal and the whole secnery was picture perfect. Yewf had been craving for this environment ever since he joined the Sentinels in the fight against the Scourge. The Anti-Mage was in great need of a long relaxing rest as he had been training the 'creeps' of the Sentinels daily. This environment fully fulfilled Yewf's wishes."Ahh, alas, the nap I've been waiting so long to take. Yes. Im at the right place at the right time."
As the Anti-Mage was about to lie down, a shriek pierced his ear drums.
"What the fuck?" muttered Yewf as he looke dover the horizon. A woman was running towards him, her steps seemed graceful from afar and for some reason, Yewf couldn't take his eyes off her. Nearer and nearer the infinitesmia figure came, faster and faster Yewf's heart pounded. The girl was not exceptionally beautiful nor was she a great intellectual. she was just a mere 5'6 gentle girl. However, she was an irresistable attraction to the Anti-Mage. Nearly choking on his words, Yewf blabbered, " May I know your name?"
"Me? Well my name is katie. What about you?" asked the female.
"Yewf...that's my name." replied him.
The girl gave a feminine smile which made yewf blush. He was trying hard to contain his feelings, to get a hold of himself.
"OPkay, You look really cute. Why don't we be friends?" suggested Katie. 'Friends? that's all? No way! I want us to be more than acquaintances. I need you.' Yewf thought. Reluctantly, he nodded. Yewf realised that ha dhad to take one step at a time, to plan and strike while the iron is hot. " Thats good, now take my hands. I shall bring you to my home." said katie. 'What? that's fast!' thought Yewf. Apparently, he was shocked by the girl's decision. Granted, Yewf had wanted the girl badly but she was way too hasty in blossoming the relationship. Yet again, Yewf dwelled deep into his thoughts. 'Why? Why did she take the initiative? There must be something wrong. Why am I here in the frist place? What was my task?' Yewf thought hard, he searched every corner of his memory trying to find the answers to these questions. This was made worse by the girls's relentless beckoning. She really wanted Yewf to take her hand and wanted it so bad she started demanding. "Will You or will you not take my hand! I promise to entertain you in my house. Just take my bloody hand already!" Bloody. the wortd triggered Yewf's memory. ' Yes, I'm supposed to search for the cure for my people. that was my task! But this female in front of me, who is she?" thought Yewf

"ah fuck, Just take my hand. I'll bring you to paradise! You will have no more worries! " shouted katie. "You! You are not katie, bitch! You are Akasha, the queen of pain." boomed the anti-mage. Instantly, before she could react Yewf sliced her with his charged blades. The once gentle and innocent girl immediately transformed inot ahulking figure. Black wings sprouted from her spine and razor sharp claws grew out of her fingers. The queen of pain was indeed a terrifying sight to behold. She then glared menacingly at the anti-mage and said, " this is not the end! You may have seen through my ploy but your pathetic buddies are still enjoying the dreams I weaved for them. Goodbye!" Just as Yewf was about to slash her once more, Akasha disappeared. Magically, his environment returned to normal and he saw his comradeslying down asleep. Expectedly, Yewf tried to wake them up but to no avail- they were encased in an invisible barrier. The Anti-Mage had No choice but to wait...

As we were saying, Koh, Jake and Yewf managed to reach vlad's island. It seemed too surreal and peaceful for a cursed isle. Maxine and her minions were supposed to have the coast heavily guarded. However, there was nothing to be seen lest the beach. Due to his unmatched movement speed, Koh the Lighting Revenant volunteered to combo the beaches. As Koh was scouting, he saw numerous burn marks on the sandy beach-it was apparent that a battle had occured. Koh continued to move on and saw more clues. Suddenly, he stumbled upon a huge chunk of metallic carapace. The armour was still in shape and it looked to be electrified. Blinded by his curiousity,Koh went to touch the metal. It produced a shock that even as a electric master, Koh felt it.
" what in the world is this? Such Great power stored in this piece of junk. The person who wore this must have been powerful. But what could have separated the great being from this thing?"
thought Koh. Questions shrouded his mind and he appeared confused. He couldn't decide what to do next- continue scouting or take this back to his teachers. In the end, Koh decided on the latter.
"Hmm, from the evidences, i can roughly picture the scene of the battle. This carapace belongs to Zeus, the lord of olympia. Why? because he is the only being in the world that can shock you. I shall not elaborate on the power of that electric current that runs through his body." said Yewf, the Anti-Mage. Koh was puzzled; never in his entire life has anyone told him there were greater powers of electricity.
"Now, this piece of armour gives us clues. Clues that will enable us to vividly picture the scene of this epic battle. Look at the interior of this plate. It is corroded. There are various reasons to this, one of which being the shadowstrike of Maxine the Phantom Assassin. Apparently, to prevent the potent poison from entering his body, Zeus took down his armour and left hurriedly. This also points to the fact that Maxine and her companions have already reached this isle. We must make haste , to find the cure before she does." explained Jake in detail. Nodding his head in agreement, Koh decided to search the island thoroughly for the cure with the assistance of his allies. As our heros took their first step into the dense Jungle, their environments began to change drastically. So much so that they were separated before they knew it...

Ages have passed since I wrote My previous chapter on the story of Koh. No doubt it has received its criticism and praise. Fret not my Friends, for Koh is back! He is not the Potassium Hydroxide chemists study and manipulate, he is The One. I've been busy lately, that is why i wasn't able to write in the name of Koh. Everything that has a beginning must have an end, I will do my best to adopt that theory. Enjoy You time here:D
