Castle of Jenph - Book 1

Instructions

ᑭᖇOᒪOGᑌE: ᗰIᔕᔕIᑎG ᕼEᖇO The Jenphs' live a life of solitude and routine and talking, lots of talking. Every Jenph is the same, mentally and physically. But not Imp, No. Imp was 'different', He'd prefer being alone and playing his whistle. This is where the Chosen Hero's Journey begins. ᑭᗩGE 1: ᒍEᑎᑭᕼ ᒍOᑌᖇᑎEY Imp was relaxing, playing his Whistle and enjoying the tantalizing river and its soft flow. "Where is that Squirt? Imp!", Agar grumbled, waving around. Imp stayed silent for a moment, then answered weakly, "Yes Agar?" Agar's voice was cold and his face was expressionless as usual, "We don't really need you anymore. But Speaker was warned of a Chosen Jenph, and it might be you." Imp nodded as Agar kept gibbering, "We want you to go to the castle and find the 'Fidget Star'. Imp was quiet, but he understood. "If this Fidget Star isn't found or in the forest where it belongs, The world will somewhat explode.." ᑭᗩGE 2: ᖇᑌᗷᗷᒪE Oᖴ TᖇOᑌᗷᒪE Imp got up and waved his companions goodbye, as he started off with his rucksack and whistle. He hadn't packed much, only some food, his whistle and a sketchy map. Agar said it roughly located the Castle, It pointed North-East. "Alone I go, Towards the rubbled grounds where the castle stands", Imp narrated to himself. There was rumors between the Jenphs' about a deathly One-eyed Golem, But Imp didn't believe them. As of traveling, The remaining 90 or so Jenphs' celebrated with drinks and Cranberry, Their favourite fruit, Because Imp, the 'grump' had left. ᑭᗩGE 3: SᑕOᑌTS Meanwhile, within the Castle, The Scouts were feasting on Bore and Snakes. They loved to kill, kill kill. Oh pardon me, i forgot to mention.. they love to kill. Scout1's face scrunched up as she crunched up tender meat, Scout2 shuffled his claws and groaned, as he usually did as he watched out the window. He set his beady eyes on Imp, the Jenph --- Imp was estimated to be about 2 days away from the castle but it felt like centuries. Even if he was alone with only his thoughts, at least there was civilisation nearby. He stumbled towards the Scout Castle and knocked loudly on the Rusty cavern door. ᑭᗩGE 4: ᖴEᗩST?! Imp knocked again, as the door remained un-opened. Suddenly the sound of the creaky door shocked Imp and he fell back. "Tell me what you want or go awa-" the scout cut off, then cleared his throat, "Come in, come in, Honourable guest." he re-announced. Was Imp being called 'honourable'? Nobody ever called him that before, astonished, he stepped inside the bloodthirsty scouts door. --- All the scouts ran around and frantically lined up from order 1 to 100. All 100 scouts stayed silent as they licked their lips, "Hello? I've been sent for a Quest. Do you know where the castle is?", Imp shouted, hoping all the creatures would hear him. They all didn't reply except for Scout1, the leader. "Yes, Yes. But you mustn't leave so soon, stay for a feast." Scout1 Pleaded with her soothing voice. ᑭᗩGE 5: ᗪEᗩTᕼ ᗷY KᑎIᖴE Imp was tantalised once again by Scout1. "Well, surely I can stay for a matter of minutes." Imp then added. "Oh wonderful!?" her voice suddenly distorted as her claws flexed and she leapt towards the Jenph as she ordered the other scouts to do so. --- Imp ran around the room before getting cornered by the stairs, He ran up shockingly fast, trying to ignore the roadkill and dead creatures bones they collected. "Get Him!!!!" The leader screamed, with death in her voice as she followed Imp with a knife, still screeching. ᑭᗩGE 6: ᑕOᑎᐯEᑎIEᑎT ᗰOᗰEᑎT! As Imp ran through the maze of rooms, with death calling behind him, He started to lose hope. There was a dizzy feeling in his head, like he was going to throw up and faint, but he didn't. He kept running. Conveniently, the Fidget Star was in the next room he slipped into, it was very high though.. All the way at the top of a pile of skulls, meat, fur, skins and taxidermy statues presumably made by the Scouts. Scout2 was now losing it and also had a knife, soon enough all the Scouts seemed to have one too. He climbed up the rummage of kill. It stank like death, But Imp dealed with it as it was a life or death situation for him, he wanted to be what his family was, The Same, Special. He ran and managed to shove the Fidget star out the window, and at the exact moment, All the scouts cowered in and stabbed, clawed and grabbed Imp's remaining Jenph body. But the crystal was safe and restoring the World from explosion. ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᖇEGᖇET ᗩᑎY ᑕᕼOIᑕE YOᑌ ᗰᗩKE Oᖇ ᑭᗩTᕼ YOᑌ ᗯᗩᒪK.
