| AXEMS: THE TOLARIAN CHRONICLES |
| Episode Five |
| Strife continues to walk into Tolaria. STRIFE: Still, I guess Tolaria is an okay name� if you live there, of course. Strife soon reaches the downtown area. He sees the same sights Image will soon see: the towering buildings, the current of business people with no real place to go, and, of course, the Coliseum. STRIFE: Wow. Strife unconsciously goes with the flow and moves towards the Coliseum. Soon, he can see the announcements on the walls of the near buildings. All of them advertise the coming tournament. Strife, however, pays no mind to the ads. STRIFE: I�m hungry. As if the city itself had heard him, Strife suddenly sees a restaurant. However, it�s Burger King. STRIFE: I think I�m gonna be sick� Strife chooses not to even attempt to eat the food at Burger King. Instead, he continues walking towards the Coliseum. Finally, he looks around and sees the ads. STRIFE: Tournament? A passerby hears this and stops to comment. PASSERBY: Yeah, the tournament. Haven�t you heard of it? STRIFE: Um� eh, of course I have. PASSERBY: You�re going to the Coliseum to sign up, then? Of course you are. All the warriors are. The passerby turns and starts walking away. STRIFE: Weird. Strife continues walking towards the Coliseum, now with the intention of signing up for the tournament. STRIFE: Tournament, eh? I can see possibilities already. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Axem Midnight Blue walks into the city of Tolaria with a scowl on his face. MIDNIGHT BLUE: I demand to know what is going on here! Why am I in a city? However, the merchants pay no mind to his yell. Instead, they swarm him and attempt to flood him with advertisements. MERCHANTS: Buy! MIDNIGHT BLUE: Back, fools. Do you even know who I am? MERCHANTS: A customer! MIDNIGHT BLUE: Where am I? MERCHANTS: Buy! MIDNIGHT BLUE: I demand that you tell me! Where am I? MERCHANTS: Buy! MIDNIGHT BLUE: I have had enough of this. Midnight Blue pulls out his axe. He points his axe out and spins, killing every one of the merchants. MIDNIGHT BLUE: Let that be your lesson. Midnight Blue puts his axe back in its holster and walks off. Soon, he is in the downtown area. MIDNIGHT BLUE: This is unimpressive. Least impressive is that small building. A passerby hears this and stops to comment. PASSERBY: How dare you call the Coliseum unimpressive? Only the finest place will house the tournament, and it is the finest place! MIDNIGHT BLUE: It is pathetic. Midnight Blue walks by the passerby and towards the Coliseum. MIDNIGHT BLUE (thinking): But he did mention a tournament. Once I win, everyone will fear me. Then I can get the respect I deserve. And I�ll find my way out of this place. END OF EPISODE FIVE |
