You pause, and soon manage to spit out a "Yes." and back
away.
"Hey, easy there son. I was just wondering if you wanted to have
a bodygaurd. The Kingdom of Eohm is a dangerous place to be alone, not
to mention so young."
"Okay."
"Well then, my name is Mark Anderson, the Duke of Eohm. Also,
what is that in your pocket?"
"Oh, that's called a Diskman (copyrite sony), it plays music.
Here listen to this." You reach down into your pocket and hand
him your headphones, and hit the play button. He steps back a ways,
and cocks his head.
"Good. If you let me listen to it more often, maybe that can be
payment."
"Okay."
You now decide to leave this creepy place, as the tone of the voice
cutting off leaves tingles in your spine. You continue your quest
north, and within twenty minutes, the mist suddenly stops with a
bright flash. The Kingdom of Eohm's castle lay ahead, down a winding,
narrow, gravel path. You start walking, and a cold hand touches your
neck- acompainied by a loud "Stop!". You spin around fast,
and see a large, broad shouldered man is standing there. The deep
voice sounds "You look alone. Is this true?"
