=== Chapter 1: The Tent ===
I looked down. The tent sat there; this was what I had been waiting for for at least 3 months.
"Hison!" I shouted out. "Go remove the outsiders." Hison obeyed this command. He went and not-so-silently snapped the necks of each of the defensive guards.
"Owni," I then said, "what's inside?". Owni then put on some goggles with a green tint.
"Owni sees some dark cloaked man, and a servant. They appear to be brewing a potion. Not much defense, but Owni is thinking the dark cloaked one is Reckoel." Owni replied with haste.
"Hmm...you ready for this, buddy?" I said to the floating golden orb to his left.
"You think they have any pies? You never get me pies for my birthdays." Orb said. I gave him a sharp look. "Oh, yeah. Yes! I'm ready."
I launched himself off the cliff, with Orb tightly floating over his shoulder.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA----" the Orb screamed, before I hit the puddle of water with ease. I floated under it for a second as the Orb propelled him upwards and out of the water. Hison and Owni waited outside the tent.
"You guys stay here, unless I give you a signal." I said. I then burst into the tent, and saw the sharp red eyes of the dark cloaked man, who teleported away. The servant pulled out a hyperlaser gun, and shot at me but I dodged the fire, the hyperlaser hitting one of the supports of the tent. The support collapsed, and I put the Orb in front of his head as a shield, pushing them both to the floor. Without a signal, Hison threw the tent apart, and snapped the hyperlaser gun in two when he reached the servant. 
I stood up. 
I looked at the servant for a second, and then swiftly snapped his neck. 
"Owni thinks we should've taken him in for questioning." Owni spoke out. I didn't reply. I stared at a cabinet that hadn't been crushed. Above it was an Orb, just like Golden, but it wasn't moving, nor speaking. It was opaque and colourless. 
"A grey orb," I said, "never heard of that one." 
"I've only told you of the Purple Orb. And you've met me. There's much more. We have red, orange, purple, golden, blue, sil---" the Orb started rambling on, but I cut him short. 
"Why's it grey?" I asked. 
"It hasn't been born yet. Unlike humans, we do not stay inside the parent. When a baby is...made, the Orb appears between the mother and father. In stage one, the Orb is see-through, and colourless like water. Stage two, is what we can see right now. And then the grey colour fades away as the Orb's true colours are revealed." Golden explained. 
"So we don't know what colour it'll be?" I asked. 
"No." I then proceeded to pick up the grey orb, and I stuffed it in my backpack. 
"That could disrupt the colour process!" the Orb warned. 
"I'm going home. We've hit one of Reckoel's tents, we've done good." I said. 
"Want a 'magical spell'?" the Orb asked sarcastically. 
"No." I said, before pushing a button on my wrist, teleporting me to what I thought would be the secret cave. 
But I was so wrong. 
=== Chapter 2: Trial ===
"Jacob. Today you stand trial for your crimes against all beings on this planet." a voice boomed out to me. There was no way of detecting where the sound was coming from. It was a dark and empty room, and the sound came pouring in from all directions
"What?" I asked.
"You have slaughtered and destroyed countless lives without any sense of mercy or regret--" the shadowy voice continued, but I cut him off.
"I really don't know what you're talking about!" I sarcastically said.
"How do you plead?"
"Yeah, I'm only here to pick up an order." I said. "Two large pepperoni and a calzone, name is--" I started, but I was cut off this time.
"HOW DO YOU PLEAD?!" it roared.
"Can I get a lawyer?" I asked.
The room lit up. I could see a circular council, with an elevated seat in the front row. Like an emperor of sorts. But I can tell you good, he wasn't wearing purple.
"As you will not plead," the Emperor said, "You will be found as guilty due to our significant evidence."
"What evidence?" one of the jury shouted, "We don't have any!". 
The Emperor then darkened the room, and screamed: "FEEL THE WRATH OF LORD MYRNA!" and shot the man with a very visible lightning bolt. The room then lit up again. The only noticeable thing was the new smoking ash in the third row on my left. "You, Jacob, have burst into tents, killing people, in the act of vigilantism. We have a recording of five minutes ago," he said, as he showed my recent attack on Reckoel's tent. 
"So what? I've done this for a year now. You haven't bothered me before." I said. There was lots of murmuring. "Maybe you're just part of Reckoel's group!" I shouted as I drew my sword. Lord Myrna then smirked. 
"Hmm. If you can kill...Sargent Verit," he said, as Verit appeared scared, "You may pass." 
"I want him to pass anyway, he did nothing wrong!" Verit protested. 
"Then you will die." Myrna said, as Verit appeared in front of me. I didn't want to kill him. 
But I had no choice. 
Verit said to me: 
"I wish I didn---", but he cut himself off and raised his sword, trying to slice at me as I parried the blow single handedly. Still sword locked from the parry, I used all of my strength to overpower him, sending his blade flying backwards and smashing into the ground. Verit looked at me with more fear than when Myrna announced our fight. 
"I don't want to kill you." I said. 
"Then I'll have to kill you." Verit shouted at me. He caught me off guard, tackling me to the ground. He was poised on me like a bear. My right hand fell down to the dagger I had kept by my side, pulling it out and stabbing it into his neck several times. There was murmuring as Verit's dead body slumped to the floor, and both of us covered in his blood. 
"He used a second weapon! That's cheating!" one court member shouted out. 
"Silence, Escura!" Myrna boomed. The woman sat down. 
"You did...use a second weapon. That wasn't stated in rules, so I shall...remove you from my sight." Myrna told me. 
"What's the catch?" I asked. Myrna's eyes filled with flames. 
"You will burn in hell." he said, his voice breaking into a demonic one several times, as I appeared back in Brototh. 
Brototh on flames. 
=== Chapter 3: Burn in Hell ===
The crying and the fear. It's all coming back to me now. Everything I went through when I came here.
But that's all masked now. There's no point in worrying about that. Not when Golden is going to die.
I rushed through the city gates, everything seeming slow. Maybe it was. Maybe the fear from everything I had built up literally burning down. Myrna wasn't joking. This was quite literally, hell. 
There was a Red Orb and an Orange Orb. This helped me refocus onto Golden.
"GOLDEN!" I screamed out, in reply to my newfound initiative asking me to shout. As I did so, I saw Golden.
To my dismay, he was in the treehouse. The treehouse was located at the back of the city, where the fire was spreading from. His magic seemed to have held off the fire for now, but eventually it would fail due to a lack of energy.
"HISON! OWNI!" I shouted. 
They were nowhere to be seen. I looked around for a point to scale to reach Golden, finding a barn that was close to the gates, and as such hadn't yet caught fire. I scaled it, running across the wooden roof, jumping from the barn to then holding onto a lamp-post, swinging across to the Church. I used the rugged stone of the Church to move around the side, making my way to behind it. I ran across to almost where I could reach the tree house, as one of the wooden roofs fell in. I managed to latch onto some of the remaining wood by where I fell in...until that collapsed too.

"Jacob? Can you hear Owni?"
I awoke inside of the old cave. It smelt damp.
"Yeah..." I said.
"Why did you wake him up?" Hison said.
"Owni thought he looked weird sleeping." Owni countered.
"That's stu--" Hison started.
"Where's Golden?" I said, standing up. I didn't get an answer. "Where's. Golden." I said once more.
"I'm sorry, Jacob." Hison said.
"No." I said. "No." I repeated. "YOU LIAR!" I shouted at him.
"Owni saw it. Owni watched Golden fall." Owni said, quietly.
"HE CAN'T DIE! HE WON'T DIE!" I screamed. I ran out of the cave, looking over the burning city. Rain had just started, so it wouldn't be burning for long.
"Jacob, you should really get some res--" Hison said, appearing behind me. I turned around and drew my sword.
"I'll ask it once more. Where's. Golden."
"When you fell into that home, I managed to jump down and get you out. As I came out, I put you with Owni and rushed to the tree house. But it fell. I only managed to jump out of it's way alive. I saw Golden. He fell into the flames. I looked down into them for a minute, but I didn't see him. I'm sorry." Hison explained, slowly. I put my sword down.
"He's not dead. He probably, I don't know, blended in with the flames." I said.
"You need to move on, Jacob!" he shouted at me. I breathed in, and looked at him in the eyes.
"You're right. I have to move on," I said, as he smiled, "from people that plague my life with lies. Like you." I then walked away, going down the hill into the forests. He ran down with me.
"I'll knock you out to keep you with us, Jacob!" he shouted at me. I then drew my sword.
"Try me." I said. 
He drew his sword. I then pretended to attack his head, but quickly moved down, to slash his knee. He dropped his sword off the cliff side. I looked at him, crippled and bleeding. I was going to speak, but I closed my mouth seconds after opening it.
I walked away without a word.

== Trivia ==
* The Orb said "you never get me pies for my birthdays", which could confirm that he has several birthdays.
** Juderonald has confirmed this is not a typo.
* Orberious will be expanded on this book.
* Jacob says "I'm here to pick up an order, two large pepperoni and a calzone, name is--". This is a reference to Fallout 4.
** It is likely he did not swear to keep it family friendly.
