sOREN'S sTORY

Written by Soren the Hard-of-Hearing Scribe on October 1, 2009

The Urgurian battle was going to commence the next day, so the carpenters quickly built some shelters and we all fell asleep. When we woke up and came out of the shelters, I gasped with amazement.

To our surprise, the armies of the classes had arrived. Ninjas, Vikings, Pirates, Dentists, Robots, Firemen, Postal Workers, Clowns, and Samurai milled around the field like a million drops of the sea. All were strangely silent. Suddenly, I noticed that the nine main classes were not the only ones who had arrived. Amazons, Butlers, Cowboys, Little Kids, High-School Teachers, and every other minor class were also intermingled with the other classes. It was strange to see so many classes together without any violence occuring.

Suddenly, a cry split the silence. I turned my head to see six Vikings running toward us. To my joy, I saw Omar, Phil, Erik, Chia, Lief, and Gregory, all together in a group. George was so excited, he wet his all-ready wet pants. The Carpnters that were gathered around him made a strange warcry and bowed before him.

"Soren!" Erik called to me. "Where have you been?"

"I can say the same thing about you!" I cried. "What happened since we last saw each other?"

"Actually," Omar said, giving Erik a strange look. "There are several stories that we each need to tell."

"All right," I said. "First we need Olaf."

"So he's with you?" Chia asked relievedly. "Good, I was worried about him."

"He's not with us," I sad worriedly. "I thought he was with you."

"No-one's seen him since you got out of that jail cell," Lief said, his brow furrowed in thought.

"How'd you know about that?" I asked.

"These four have told me what happened to them up to that point, but everything else is still up in the air." Lief explained.

"Well, I'll tell you what happened to us two," I explained. George whispered, "Good; I'm more scared of public speaking than I am of being burned alive."

"I got a match and a can of gas that says otherwise," Gregory said.

"FIRE? AHHH!" George screamed, collapsing into a heap. The Carpenters bowed.

I quickly told all who were present the story, and introduced IDC to them all. Once I was done, the others were solemnly nodding.

"Well, while you and George were one group, the rest of us split into four seperate groups," Erik explained. "Phil and I were in one group,"

"I ended up reappearing next to Lief," Chia said.

"And I wound up near Gregory," Omar muttered, giving the Chieftain an annoyed look.

"And Olaf is ... somewhere," Chia worriedly whispered.

"What happened to Erk and Phil?" I asked.
