IF Rebellion:
CuLDud was surfing the net on that fateful day of the 30th of May, 2007. He had just read Eragon and Eldest, and joined something called "Inheritance Forums" commonly known as "IF". He had seen the website URL on the inside of the cover of Eldest.
CuLDud had expected to have great fun on IF, but he was sadly mistaken. Once joined CuLDud felt a surge, and the lights flickered out. When they came back on, CuLDud found he was in another place, not his home at all. He was in IF.
IF was a world with many threads and sub-forums. And people commonly went missing, supposedly "banned". IF's definition of "banned", was being killed by being torn apart by a Dragon. It was a world like the one CuLDud had left behind, except much, much different. It seams that Inheritance Forums was a Medieval world, it had a few things that made it different from the Medieval world we know. An example being Dragons.
The evil ruler of IF was known as Arthryn, but nobody knows if it's her true name or not. After one year in this dark land, CuLDud fell in with a secretive group, that they called the "Liberators". There were often rebellions in IF, but this time, this time was different.
This is where our story starts, in the IF Rebellion.
Chapter 1
CuLDud strolled casually to the Boredom thread, there was to be a secret meeting with the Liberators tonight. And CuLDud, who was invited for the first time couldn't miss it. He looked over his shoulders a couple of times a minute. A bit obvious you might say, but CuLDud was nervous, and wasn't eager to be followed. There were hundreds of people on the streets of General Discussion, the capital of IF, but as CuLDud approached the Boredom thread, he noticed that the traffic thinned, than eventually ceased.
CuLDud knocked on the door, and a narrow slit was opened near the top of the door.
"Password?" The voice asked gruffly.
"Long live freedom" CuLDud replied. He heard a few bolts open, and the door opened with a load creak. CuLDud rushed in as the door closed. A hand grabbed by his neck, and he was shoved up to the wall.
"Were you followed?"
"Of course not Kazza, you know me better than that." Kazza let go, and CuLDud was able to relax slightly.
"You better not have been followed." Kazza replied . "Or else Elazar will have your head, and Arthryn ours' !!"
Just then, somebody knocked on the door, and Kazza went over to open the slit and ask for a password. It was then what a sword struck right through the slit and scraped Kazza's right cheek. "That b**t*
!" Kazza swore. A voice echoed from above, "Warning, Kazza, your warning percentage is now 17%.""I need to start making up my own curses." Kazza muttered. The door started to bang, and CuLDud ran off to tell the others what had just happened.
When Elazar heard this, he started letting out a stream of curses, and his warning percentage went up to 43%. "It's a good thing Arthryn didn't deprive us of the luxury we like to call the mobile phone." Stormfire said, suddenly stepping out of the shadows. A dim roar was heard of in the distance. Everybody froze. The noise was heard again, this time closer. CuLDud could hear panicked shouts and cries in the distance. "Dragon!" CuLDud shouted as he started to run.
"Everybody run!", he could hear Elazar shouting.
CuLDud only ran faster when he started hearing screams that were fairly close to him. He came to a back door entrance, and opened it to find a hail of arrows coming at him. CuLDud dived and rolled to one side. Arthryn had "invented" gunpowder as an update several years ago, but only reserved it's use for people such as Tim, and Isen, her right hand men, if there is such a thing. CuLDud just didn't know why she didn't distribute those thing amongst here soliders. But in the Liberators, gunpowder weapons were handed out freely, and were used in battle against Arthryn's forces. That's what gave them the upper hand.
CuLDud took out his pistol weapon, and fired it at Arthryn's troops. The loud noise startled some of the men, and as one fell down, four or five others fled. It was only a matter of time before the remaining survivours of the main assault came up behind CuLDud. Elazar, BTF, Stormfire, and Opifex.
"Is that all who survived?" CuLDud asked.
"We're not sure." replied Opifex, it was just then, that Kazza, Moondragon and Thorin came up from the corridor. A few arrows were shot at them, but none met their target.
"Any of you see Unconquerableflame?" Moondragon asked.
"Yeh", replied BTF, "The last place I saw Uflame was down that cursed Dragon's throat.
"It's a sad loss for us", CuLDud cut in, "but we need to focus on getting past them, he said pointing to the guards.
Elazar nodded, "We brought some weapons, but it isn't much." He handed out a few muskets and hand guns.
"Alright, on the count of three we charge them." CuLDud said. They all nodded in agreement. "One, two, three!" They ran out, each one expending his or hers bullets before the first minute was over. It was a good thing that Arthryn's men hadn't seen, or heard firearms before, or else they would've been dead. "Moondragon and Opifex have minor injuries, other than that, we're fine." Stormfire reported to Elazar.
"Good" Elazar replied, "We need to find a safe haven until we recover fully."
