This story will be about just one character. Thats right, just one. No army of Ferazel fanatics working to thwart some evil, just one guy carefully working to thwart some evil. This guy being Ferazel.

Part I: Backplot

It is several years after Ferazel defeated and destroyed Xichra. Still armed with what he used to defeat Xichra, Ferazel is now the commander of the guards of the habnabit caves, not about to let anyone pull the same trick Xichra did. Suddenly, an army of the manditraki invaded. Only a few habnabits managed to survive, some by hiding, others by running, a few by killing the manditraki, and fewest of all the captives taken by the manditraki. Unfortunatly, Ferazel is among these captives. The manditraki in charge, a group of powerful manditraki wizards, used magic to drain all abilitys he got when on his quest to kiill Xichra, and take all his items, however Ferazel managed to hide his dagger (you don't want to know where) and the wizards were unable to remove his fireball spell.Ferazel is then planned for execution for his crimes against the manditraki. Ferazel is in prison, and a goblin guard is approaching to take him to be beheaded. What will Ferazel do...?

Hiding in a crack in the crudely-made cell wall just beside the door, Ferazel waits for the goblin to stick its grimy head and greasy hair into the room, then, pulling his dagger out from his robes, he delivers a series of fatal blows to the goblin's neck. As the vile creature lies dying on the floor, Ferazel switches his robes with the goblin's, and folds the hood over the goblin's face, concealing its face.

Ferazel drags the goblin out from the cell and onto the execution platform, where the evil creatures think they kill Ferazel, and, in all the celebrating, the real Ferazel sneaks over to the heavily-guarded entrance to the prison. "I wonder how I'll escape now..." he (/she) says with a touch of worry in his (/her) voice, before clambering up the rocky walls to get a better view of his enemies.

As Ferazel reaches the top of the walls, he hears the crowd roar as the executioner, the new goblin chief, Zur'llo, son of the goblin chief Ferazel killed, arives. Zur'llo then chops the goblin (in Ferazel's clothes) clear in half. Enraged by the discovery that he had just maimed the carcass of one of his minions, Zur'llo sends his personal guards, twenty purple axe goblins, to search out and kill the person responsible. Ferazel realizes that his dagger has goblin blood all over it, so, while no one is watching, he switches it with one of a knife goblin's knifes. Ferazel then runs in the other direction, snickering as he hears the sound of a knife goblin's corpse burning to a crisp in the distance.

Ferazel continued to walk through the caverns as if nothing was wrong. He searched and searched for some way to get out but he couldn't find anything. Suddenly he sees some light. Ferazel in his costume starts moving for the light when lots of habnibits started dropping in and started firing at the Goblins. Ferazel quickly drops back against a wall and pulls of the mask to show the Habnibits who he really is. He falls back behind the Habnibits and starts his way back to safer places.

Just when he thinks he's safe, Ferazel hears a series of blood-curdling screams, "No! NO! Heellpppp..." and then the cave goes silent. Standing dead still, Ferazel waits for something to happen. The scream was a Habnabit's, he was sure. But what could possibly have stopped so many of them? There must have been at least ten of them running down the tunnel, all with wands poised and daggers ready. Ferazel began to creep up the hole the invading force of Habnabits had burst through, but as he was on the verge of freedom, he slipped on the loose dirt and a dozen small boulders bounced down and into the rocky wall, making a horrendous racket which must have alerted goblin troops throughout the entire prison. Ferazel heard heavy, fast footsteps, and knew he'd have to run for it.

Leaping out of the prison, he smelt air tinged with blood and began to sprint across the desolate fields littered with goblin and Habnabit bodies. He heard a yell from behind him and turned to see a small group of axe-toting purple goblins, all with 'Dur'llo' tattooed in blood on their right arm, charging toward him bellowing fierce war-cries. Ferazel ran for what seemed like hours, but all the time the goblins kept up, until he was deep in the Wood and came to a dead end.

Ferazel turned to face his enemies. With trees behind and beside him, and ten or so goblins in front, and only his Fireball spell and a short goblin sword, he knew he'd have to do something fast if he were to survive. He marched slowly forward until he was barely ten feet away from the beasts, then slowly pulled out his wand...

The Axe-Boblins started moving forward and than started talking in some garbled language. Ferazel, talked back trying to buy himself some time as his eyes darted around feverishly trying to find away to saftey. The Goblins moved forward and stepped on a fair amount of sticks. Thinking fast, Ferazel shot off shot after shot at the sticks as they erupted in flames. The goblins started to burn and Ferazel made a dash around them. One of them dropped their Axe and Ferazel tripped on it and landed on the fire...
