== Plot ==
With an important goal in mind, Jared and Jason continue their adventure, hoping to gather as much help as they can in order to attack the Order of the Black Fist and teach them an important lesson- Not to mess with the Kaos family. Ever.
The first stop is the town of Harmony. Let the adventures continue!
== Story ==
After walking for a while, Jared and Jason finally arrived in the town of Harmony.
A simple glance of its fotifications reveals that it is ready for war.
High walls made of solid stone. Brave archers standing on them, ready to defend the town from any hostile group. Powerful ballistas.
One of the guards approached Jared suspiciously.
And he was right to be suspicious. After all of the treachery that happened recently, no one is safe from the hostiles.
Not even the regular citizens.
"Okay Stranger. I want to know who you are. Tell me a name, age and where you came from."
"He's suspicious. He thinks that we are some sort of spies. But don't fear, Nephew. We are here on a mission and he's supposed to let us in. Just tell him this information."- Jared's uncle whispered to him.
"Alright then. So, my name is Jared Kaos. I am 16 years old. And this is my uncle- Jason. We are here to help fight the Order of the Black Fist. We were sent to Harmony by the Vahnatai Council."
Something in the last word surprised the guard.
"So... they sent you to help us?"
"Yes. We're here to help. Is something wrong?"
"I don't want to sound rude, but you... you... "
"You don't look very powerful, that is all."- A second guard added- "We thought that the Council would send a whole army of soldiers, mages and archers. But they only sent you! Why is that?"
A third guard recognized Jared.
"Be careful who you're talking about, friends! This is Jared Kaos himself! The Hero of Formello!"
Guard #1 and Guard #2 looked at Jared and nodded.
"Sure matches the description, but I hope he matches the amount of power as well."
"Alright, folks. Come in. Your new army wants to see you."
Escorted by the three guards Jared and Jason entered the main hall of the town.
The hall was a beautiful structure, fitting the Vahnatai style perfectly. The chairs, the huge table in the middle of the room, the walls- everything.
A tall soldier approached Jared and bowed down.
"Sire! We have been expecting you, ever since we were notified of your departure from the capital by the Council. I am Captain Viridian- the leader of those soldiers and I welcome you in our town."
"Thank you, but... why did you call me "Sire?" "
Captain Viridian raised his eyebrow.
"Why, we were told that you are our Commander now. The one who leads all of us towards victory. Is that wrong?"
Jared shaked his head.
"No, me and my Uncle were sent by the Council to lead the army here."
"That's good. We though you were just another imposter."- The Captain said, relieved.
"I am also the one who will advise you during this time of turmoil, because you are still young and need advice from someone important. No offence, Mr. Kaos."
Jason nodded.
"That's fine, Captain. Your place in the hierarchy is far more important than mine. Jared needs to listen to your advice now, not mine."
"Thank you, Mr. Kaos. Now it is time to act. What shall be the first order of business?"
Jared wondered. For about 5 minutes or so.
Finally he came to a decision. A very important one.
"We need to unite everyone. Not just the forces in the Vahnatai Lands. Everyone. Including the forces in Avernum."
"So... you say that we must find a way to teleport some of Avernum's warriors to our lands?"- The Captain wondered.
"Indeed. But we need a huge and stable Portal for that to happen. Otherwise, we won't be able to get enough help."
"I think we have a way."- The Captain said- "This is a great idea, sire. And we must make it happen at all costs."
"There is a Portal back at the capital. A portal which leads to Avernum. If we somehow make it bigger, we might be able to complete this task!"
"Can I suggest something?"- Jason voiced in, a plan on his mind.
"Of course, Mr. Kaos. Go ahead."
"The Portal needs a lot of energy in order to teleport a large contingent of soldiers into our lands. Ten qualified mages should do the job perfectly. It doesn't matter if they are Human or Vahnatai, what matters is for them to be skilled when it comes to this."
"Brilliant! Many of our mages know how to operate and feed a Portal, so this should be a piece of cake."
"We will send ten of our best magicians to do the job. However, we must make sure that our work is not interrupted by those hostiles."
"It will be done."- Jared said- "Half of the army is going to stay here, including most of the warriors. The rest of the army- mages and warriors will come with us to the capital."
"We can arrange that, sire. Let's go!"
Jared took one last look at the soldiers under his command. They saluted him as he stared ahead, seemingly looking towards the future.
Not all of his army was made of Vahnatai soldiers. Some of the soldiers were humans- a sign of unity between the two nations. Even though they were hostile towards each other not very long ago.
"I know that the future will be bright for us!"- He said to himself- "If our nations unite against this threat and eradicate it, we will will win! I am sure of it."
"Long live the Commander!"- One of the soldiers shouted.
"Long live the Commander"- The rest of the soldiers repeated in perfect unison.
Jared smiled. He was never meant to be a Captain of an army, let alone a Commander. But Destiny chose otherwise.
It was time for him and the ones under his command to act and defeat the Order of the Black Fist once and for all. To show them that they are united and ready for everything.
"Let's go, my army! For Avernum and the Vahnatai Lands!"- He yelled.
"Long live Commander Jared Kaos!"
Praised by the rest of the soldiers in the town, Jared and the rest of the army left towards the capital with a goal in mind- to build the Portal (Which may be crucial to their survival).
It is time... for a change. A big one, from the looks of it.
It is time for Jared to finally unite the forces of Humans and Vahnatai and to defeat the common evil- the Order of the Black Fist.
Onward!
