The birds sang out in the morning which was veiled by the calm darkness before dawn. It was cold and the dew settled down on the plants which in turn dropped the condensed water onto the ground. In a grassy field near a river, far away from the house, stood Alsi…shivering like hell just froze over. He had now fully recovered and his arm was fine again. It had only taken him almost a week to be back in shape. He let out breaths of air to warm his hands as he stared out at the horizon waiting for the sun's rays to come out and warm his skin. When he turned around, he saw Ceal seated on the ground and Agyro stretching.

"What the heck are we doing out so early!?"

"Don't you know? We're here for your performance, which you're really good at by the way. I mean you're shaking it like there's no tomorrow…" Ceal teased Alsi.

"You better watch your mouth peasant, and don't think I forgot what you did to me back there!" Said Alsi.

"That's enough boys, Ceal can you g

    The surrounding is filled with freshness and a cool breeze moves through the grassy plains near the river. A tall man can be seen seated on a rock whilst watching three kids engaging in what seems to be a dance of some sort. "Ouch!" Alsi said as he got knocked to the ground. He was just about to complain when his opponent followed up his attack with a stamp which Alsi dodged in time. He rolled backwards and got back on his feet but just when he thought he got some ground he was suddenly assaulted by Serena who threw 3 jabs of which Alsi dodged successfully. He noticed that he was much slower without his necklace but was still able to adapt to the speed of these attacks. He jumped back to get some distance. 'ha! These fools think they can hit me?' Serena and Ceal suddenly stopped, they all became still. "What, you finally realized you can't handle me?" Said Alsi. "We're actually surprised you could keep up, we honestly thought we'd have to hold ba

    The rains arrived and they departed, the flowers bloomed and they wilted. The skies were bright blue, and then they were clustered with stars. The trees painted the lands with their lush green beauty and then shaded them with their bright reddish-orange elegance. Each a testament to the passage of time, operating as they should be. Through the autumn, a young man walked. His hair perfectly and beautifully in harmony with the falling leaves of the trees around him. He was dressed in a black trousers, black boots, a white shirt and a black and orange cloak that complimented his hair perfectly. His swords within his sheaths shook left and right as he walked with his hands behind his head. He crossed a stream, making sure not to slip and fall as he used the wet rocks as a path. He noticed a strange beast he wasn't used to. He only just noticed some time ago how different wildlife was in this world. He stopped and lifted his head towards the sky, watching the blue expan

    Don't let a bunch of adventurers who wouldn't even dare to do what we're doing get to your head Alsi." " You know I'm amazing, you're just acting like the classic tsundere who won't reveal their true feelings because they're too embarrassed-" "You know Alsi, sometimes you come up with words I'm sure aren't even in Chirish. What the heck is Tsundere?" Said Serena. "The question that should be asked is WHERE THE HECK IS CEAL!? WHY DID WE EVEN SPLIT IN THE FIRST PLACE!?" " Oh that? I just wanted an excuse to explore the place abit. And I don't regret it, I found a skydog and it was so cute!" "Don't you guys realise this is our first mission!? You're already out exploring like a bunch of homeless idiots!" "Hey now, it's good to know your surroundings, I even managed to take down a monster and harvest an aqua core." "Hmmm…wonderful…" "I see you went and became an idiot…you're right, we shouldn't have split." Ceal approached from a dist

    Skydiving…what a wonderful experience. Just imagine it. Sure it could be terrifying at first but gradually the thrill arises and the bliss assaults your very being.

The air rushing against your free spirit is mesmerising and you can't help but scream joyfully because the courage you mustered up to perform this feat of yours wasn't in vain. You conclude that you'll probably remember this experience for the rest of your life.***********"SHIT! THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY EXISTENCE!!!!!!!" Alsi yelled out loud as he fell to his fiery doom. He just contrasted his memory of skydiving with this very moment and he suddenly missed his old life. This was nothing but a horrid nightmare that began the moment he woke up. Just imagine it, waking up to a nightmare. Now he fears waking up to some butt naked man-eating giants the next time he blinks. The heat became more intense and Alsi had no i

    The area was surrounded by glowing pillars of precious stones. The floors were tiled and it reflected the beauty of the pillars aswell as the chunks of rocks that were almost all over. The room which contained these things was huge. In the centre of it was Ceal, who stood there completely flabbergasted. 'What happened?' As important as that question was he was still being stared down by a pair of purple eyes that had a feint glow. Ceal drew his katana rapidly from his sheath and proceeded to slash the strange humanoid creature but it disappeared at once. Only to reappear behind him and blow him away using some kind of force. Ceal went flying into one of the pillars. The tall dark creature kept staring at Ceal quietly as he forced himself out of the large pillar. Suddenly it was distributed by Alsi who came in from above, attempting to double slash the creature with his dual swords. But then again it vanished, leaving Alsi to let his swords collide with the floor. A

    *BOOM!* Bones and skulls went flying in all directions. Ceal was spinning his katana in his hand rapidly whilst kicking the other skeletons, trying to draw as much of their attention as he can. He slashed them quickly and mercilessly. Right up ahead of him, Alsi and Serena were still standing with their backs against eachother. Vigilantly scanning the area around them whilst fighting off a few skeletons. Alsi narrowed his eyes as he focused whilst he cut a skeleton in pieces with his swords. The dark creature with purple eyes suddenly reappeared near a pillar north east of where Alsi was. He abruptly dashed towards the creature… "Serena!" He alerted his teammate as he destroyed the skeletons in his path. Serena turned around and aimed her staff at the creature. She shot a gust of wind at it and it disappeared to avoid contact. Alsi climbed the pillar were it teleported to and he saw a feint red-glowing mark on it. "Just as I thought." He said whilst he held o

    A cool breeze moves over the trees. The autumn leaves chase after it. On the ground, against a big rock, Alsi's eyes became irritated at the light that kept on picking at him. His eyes opened up to Serena's calm smile and Ceal's introvertive back turned to him. "Wha-wh- what happened?" "We're outside the dungeon portal. We completed the mission…" Serena's answer is what brought back Alsi's memories. He sat up properly and rubbed his eyes. The dungeon portal was up ahead, still active. Mr Milgran seemed to be sending off a hawk that beared a scroll at its feet. As it went flying off Alsi stood up. "Wait…what time is it?" " We only took 30 minutes. Surprisingly time moves slower out here than in a portal dungeon." Said Serena as she stood up, passing her hand through her hair. "Well then let's get going. I've had enough dancing with monsters for one day." "I have to agree with Alsi. It's better to get home as soon as possible." Ceal stood up

    His eyes had a sinister red glow, his smile from one side of his face to the other seemed nothing but cruel. This man is unrecognisable. Who the heck is he? Those were the thoughts of Alsi Amaris as he laid his eyes on the man who was supposed to be his adopted father. Shocked as hell, he backed away from Agyro. There was a very disturbing aura emanating from him. Agyro stood up, he seemed like a beast that was happy to find some prey to toy with. Under the immense pressure of this dark aura, Ceal and Alsi felt like cattle, up for slaughter. He couldn't even blink before he felt a huge pressure against his abdomen. He felt himself ascend and bear the pain of breaking the ceiling and landing up stairs where Serena sat with her staff shaking in her hands. Alsi turned in pain to face her and she had a blank expression yet, it was engraved with fear. "What the heck is going on Serena!" She didn't reply immediately, but when she did she said… "D-da- dad, has bein

    The fire danced vigorously in the night. Turning the last remnant of their memories into ashes. Alsi, Ceal and Serena watched on with tired faces as the flames engulfed their home. One would think that this was by accident. But that was not the case, on the contrary, they're the ones who started the fire. They had to do this to remove any traces of the demon that possessed Agyro. Because of this, they didn't even dare to touch the furnace and upgrade their weapons. Since the demon possessed their father by his sword, it most likely happened during his use of the furnace. Because Ginknights literally craft weapons with their souls, the weapons they make are usually linked to that of the crafter's. That is why Ginknights usually used an enchantment or held a charm before they began the process. As for Agyro, it wasn't known as to whether he forgot to carry his charm, or whether he forgot to cast the enchantment. But none of that mattered now. They could only carry what the

    ' It's dark…too dark. What happened? Oh…yeah, I was trying to repair my weapons and upgrade them….. is this really how I go out? My soul won't even pass on, I'm going to be stuck here forever…. I could have at least seen those three one last time. ' -heavy sigh-********************* The owl hooted repeatedly through the young night. The moon's shine was partially covered by a few clouds drifting by. The stars assisted in lighting the sky. Alsi stumbled across to Ceal and Serena. 'Are they okay? What's happened with Agyro?' He thought as he made his way towards them. Meanwhile Ceal and Serena were sobbing painfully. Who wouldn't do so after killing their own father? " Hey now, stop it…" the familiar voice spoke to them. Shocked, they raised their heads to see their father's eyes opening calmly. "You guys look ugly as hell when you cry like that." Said Agyro with a weak smile. Serena was overwhelmed by joy and gladness when she heard him…
