Bruce Freedom and I stepped into the darkened room and looked around.

It was a fairly large room with many strange looknig weapons all over the walls.



In the centre of the room was a large table with lots of peices of paper sprawled about it. We stepped up to the table and looked at the papers.

I picked up the first page and found that I was completely baffled by the writing on it. It was all in a strange language that I knew not.

"Can you read this writing?" I asked Bruce Freedom, passing him the page.

As he looked at the paper I continued to look around the room...

I took the page from Mister Johns and examined it. It was written on old parchment.



I recognised the writing at once. It was Vampire hand.

However this was different to the writing I was used to. It made it hard to read. There was somehting about it which didn't quite fit. I knew straight away that I was reading the writing of the Queen.

My face turned into a frown as I thought of her. Her... she that had been the reason I became a hunter. She that had taken so much away from me... she that had made me stranded on this damned island...

The Queen HAD to die!

I looked at the writing again and tried to make some sence of it. It was confusing. I could pick up random words such as Axe, Korg, Lunea, Lost Map and Sister... but I could not for the life of me figure out what it was trying to stay.

Then Mister Johns began to speak...

(continued from Wolf Tower)

Emmsi and I rushed down the spiral staircase from Wolf Tower as quick as we could. We had to get out of the castle. We had to find a way back to the rest of the crew. Emmsi wa sinjured badly. I think she had been bitten by the Phoenix Werewolf. I was worried that she too could change into a wolf.

We stopped and looked around us. It was very dark in the castle. We were lost.

We heard heavy footsteps close by and we panicked.

I saw a door and pushed it open, heading inside. I sighed with relief to find Mister Johns and Bruce Freedom in the room...

"Olivia, please." I said, "I am in a lot of pain, I'm not sure if I can carry on. You should go on ahead without me, I will only slow you down. Go, safe yourself!"

I then collpased onto the floor and everything went black.

"My god!" I gasped and rushed over to Emmsi. However as I got closer to her I saw that she had a bite mark on her arm. The bite mark from a wolf.

I stepped back slightly. Olivia was looking at me, wondering what I was doing.

"She has been bitten," I said, "she will change. She will becom one of them... and she will try to kill us. She is no longer our friend. I'm sorry miss Thorn... there is only one thing we can do for her now."

I raised my crossbow and loaded a silver arrow.

"It will be quick and painless I promise," I said, "it is for the best. I;m sorry Emmsi."

My finger began to squeeze the trigger...

"I know what it says!" I shouted suddenly.

Mister johns stopped his advance on Emmsi and looked towards me.

"The parchment... I know what it says!" I said.

Mister Johns walked over to me. He had lowered his crossbow and Olivia had rushed over to Emmsi's side. Mister johns looked at me with a questioning eyebrow.
I read aloud what the parchment said:

"Many years ago man had owned this small island. They lived here and peace, and they lived here alone. However they were not alone for long.
On a cold winters night a great storm came. And with that storm came a mist, a mist like no other mist before it. And on that mist were voices. Evil, bone chilling voices.
The men felt fear for the first time. They knew not of the evils of the rest of the world. Their ancestors had once lived in the rest of the world and had travelled here long ago. They told them of evil people that lived there.
Now the men of this island feared that the evil people had found them. What had found them was much much worse.
An army spread from the mist, an army so strong and powerful that the men at first did not have a chance. This army had unnatural powers. They could control the lightning in the sky. The men of the island fell back into cave where they regrouped and created an army of their own.
War ravaged the land.
The army of men battled long and hard for many years. Then one day, the leader of the men, Rudolph, consulted the gods. And the gods told him what must be done.
So that night Rudolph took the poison from the plants on the island, and, with much regret, killed and drained the blood of two virgin girls. Two virgin twins. He then made weapons from the poison, and a potion from the blood. The gods had told him to kill the army from the mist with the weapon, and then pour the potion on their bodies to destroy them forever.
But things were not meant to be for Rudolph and the men of the army.
That night, while he slept, Rudolph had terrible dreams about the twins he had killed and drained. In his sleep he walked, and he took with him the potion. And in his sleep he went to the grave of the dead girls. And he poured the potion onto the grave.
When he woke the next day he had no memory of his sleepwalking. So they went into the final battle without the potion.
And in that final battle, Rudolph realised that he had been betrayed by the gods. For when they killed the army of the mist with the weapon created by the poison from the plants, they came back to life as wolves!
It was as Rudolph relaised the gods betrayel that he was killed by the leader of the army from the mist, Leig-ruin.
The battle ended. The men of the island had lost. But all was not yet over. Before they were defeated, the few remaining men managed to kill Leig-ruin, and without a leader, the army of the mist, who many were now savage wolves, were at a loss. They did not know what to do so they stood in silence, not moving, not speaking.
They stood still for many weeks. And then the potion on the graves of the twin girls worked its wicked magic. The girls returned to life. But not as girls, but as women. Women with a lust for blood, and the ability to create many more like them.
But still the story does not end. For there was one man who still remained alive. His name was Eric Freedom. And he had been hiding. He managed to subdue one of the sisters and leave the island with her. He had saved her.
The remaining sister, Car'liria, became the Queen of the island which she named Devil Island. She forgot about her twin sister yet prohecy states that the day the sisters are reunited will be the day that the earth comes to an end. The apocalypse will arrive."


I stepped back and put the parchemnt on the table. I wioed the sweat from my head. I could not beleive what I had just read.

(continued from Entrance)

I smashed the doors open and jumped into the room, Axe at the ready. Anything could have been in this room and I was prepared for the slaughter.

We found more of the Kingstons crew. So... more of their pathetic party had survived.

However one of the women was unconscious on the floor and seemed very badly injured. Had she been bitten by a werewolf? The other three people turned towards us.

"We have no quarrel with you," I said, "leave now and your lives will be spared. It is the Queen that we seek!"

Kruger and another pirate stood before us. Jimmy O'Malley was with them. I hated Jimmy for what he had done to us. And to think he had once been my friend. I had trusted him. Now he was working with pirates who were not only murderers and thives but also crazy and insane.

I looked at Mister Johns and Bruce. The parchment that Bruce had read to us had revealed a lot about the island but at the moment that didn't seem relevant.
"Maybe we should go," I said, "the pirate said he is after the Queen. Why don't we leave them to it?"

"No," I said to Olivia, "we cannot let them get out of here. These men must be stopped."

I looked over to Bruce and he nodded in agreement. I could see that he too had seen the Axe in the hand on one of the pirates. It was no doubt the Axe of Lunea. The legandary Axe.

How it had got here and in the hands of this pirate I had no idea. But he could not keep it. No man could. It had to be destroyed.

I loaded my crossbow. "You will not get past us," I said with a strength to my voice, "we will not let you!"

I laughed. It was a laugh that shuck the very hearts of my enemies.

"You cannot stop me!" I shouted, "No one can stop me now... not you... not your captain... not the Queen of this island... not even the sea creature that stalks the uncharted waters... I am the master now!"

As I roared with laughter, even Jimmy O'Malley backed away from me. I smiled. I had the power I had always craved!

Kruger however still stood beside me. He seemed to show no fear. He showed nothing at all. I wondered if his cracked mind even knew what was taking place here.

I raised my Axe.

"If you wish to die," I said to Mister Johns and Bruce Freedom, "then bring it on!"

I charged at the two men who jumped back and grabbed weapons from the walls of the War-Room. Feeble weapons that would not stand a chance against the Axe...

"Kruger!" I shouted as I charged at the men, "find the Queen and kill her!"

I clashed with the two men, our weapons striking each other and ringing out across the land...
