Hello fellow Arcadians! This is my entry for the Halloween Lore contest! I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do!
It was a dark and gloomy, no Arcadian in sight. One Arcadian named Ronaldo was wondering in the forest at 2:00 AM in the morning, until something slightly, suddenly, appeared, to blow his mind and haunt his dreams for the rest of his Arcadian life. Let's take this 3 days before.....
"Ronaldo!" calls Mom in worries of the war coming. "Are you all prepared? We're going to have to make sure you're as safe as possible! We don't want you getting seriously hurt out there. It could cost your Federation, and it would break your family's heart."
Ronaldo replies, "Alrighty, Mother, I am ready."
Later that afternoon!
"Hey Johnny, are you sure you know where you're going? We're supposed to be heading to the Stronghold."
"Yes, Ronaldo, everything's correct on my GPS."
What they don't know is that Johnny has a metaphoric disease that malfunctions his brain, it's kind of like dyslexia. Johnny drives his jeep into the forest, which he thinks is the stronghold. He drops off Ronaldo, and Ronaldo wishes he hadn't thought that was the stronghold as well.
___________Chapter 2__________
Ronaldo, worried and confused, builds a fire and a tent to keep himself as a survivalist.
"I don't have to worry, it's just a forest, on a foggy and gloomy night... Oh boy, what have I done? No, no, no. It's not my fault, it's Johnny's! I'm going to kill him!!!" Ronaldo worries in rage.
12 hours have gone by, no cell service, no nothing, which means he can't call anyone for help. He's stranded, and has no clue what to do. It's day 2 of him in the forest, and it's time for him to go hunting.
"Oh look, a cow!" Ronaldo says excitedly, but wonders as if how a cow is in the forest. "Wait, cows don't live in forests. This is odd, very odd. I need to find a way out of here, and a way to get some food. I'll consider myself as a hunter-gatherer right now, as if I'm in modern day Ethiopia."
The Federation wonders where Ronaldo is, as well as his friends.
Ronaldo prays to the Emperor, as if the Emperor had a power to revive Ronaldo into his peace and go back into war to help save Arcadia.
"Oh, dear Emperor, I need your to guide me out of this path of misery and pain that I'm struggling through. I need you, please guide me, please, this is all I ask for. I'm not holding myself to die out here, I need help." Ronaldo prays in hope for a way to get out of his struggle.
_Chapter 3_______
It's the third day of his time in the forest. It's getting dark quickly, only in the forest, but how? Legends say there was a mysterious creature lurking around to capture souls of Arcadians. It's now Ronaldo's turn...
*CRACKLE* as something suspicious steps on a tree branch.
"WHO'S OUT THERE!!??!?" Ronaldo cries in fear.
The crackle gets louder, and louder. *click* as Ronaldo turns on his flashlight.
"I said who's out there!!!?" Ronaldo cries in more fear.
The sound is vigorously getting louder, until a large black, monster eyed creature appeared at the back of Ronaldo. Ronaldo turns around, and in shock, the monster infront of him.
"Filthy Arcadian." The creature said deeply in a demonic voice. "Give me your soul in return of your mother....
"My mother? What's wrong with her?" Ronaldo worries.
"She's in the underworld, with my minions."
"What are you, Vaktovian..?"
"No, we are the Demons of Estheroth."
"I don't know what that is, but I'm pretty sure it's not good." Ronaldo replies.
Ronaldo starts to run and try to outpace the huge, black, cherry eyed monster. There was no way he could escape though. The monster was as quick as lightning, despite how big he was.
"That was your only warning." Says the hungry monster. "Your soul is mine!!!!"
The monster sucks the life out of Ronaldo. Ronaldo was never heard from again...
Legends have it that Ronaldo's empty body still lurks the forest. But who knows, the legend might be real. We'll find out, next Halloween.
