[glow=red,2,300]Chapter One[/glow]
Average Morning
I woke up. It was a cold and quiet morning. As usual. It's always cold and quiet. Nothing interesting ever happens out here. Mine as well get up.
"Hey, kid."
That must be Saturos. Why is he here? Well finally something changes.
"Get up, your dad's told me to get you out of bed and tell you what to do for work today." He smiled gently. I never liked him.
"And you might want to clean up to, I heard a full knight is coming to town today." Town? What does he mean... we aren't a town. We're an island!
"Wait!" I jumped out of bed, and became very lightheaded. "Aaaah!"
"What's wrong?!" Saturos ran back inside. Why the hell would Saturos care about me? He doesn't care about anyone.. "Sorry.. I'm a little light headed. I think I just got out of bed to fast.
"You could be sic- No. That's impossible. Today is the biggest day. How could you get sick on the one day that we need you the mo-"
"I'm not sick."
He tried quickly, and failed to walk off with the 'I really don't care' look. Kinda made me laugh. Luckily I didn't.
Saturos is not the guy you mess with. The strongest Adept in the island. He is a blue character with with a head almost of Link's hat. He holds the power of Meteor, the fire Adept, and the power of Luna, the power of Ice. And his blade holds the power of both combined. He is the living Nightmare. Only he isn't Him.
Odd Midday
Since Saturos forgot to tell me what I was suppost to do I just sat around the house playing with my wooden blade. I always wanted a blade. Everyone in the island had a blade. Unfortunetly, there was a reason. Monsters had started showing up around our village and sometimes attacking us. They can only come out in the nighttime, because for some odd reason the Sun hurts them.
Lucky for us, everyone is gone during the day at the ocean searching for shells. Well, very few aren't. Shells are what the only source for fueling the machines to make the food that the island needs. No one stays from home if there older than 18 and besides the members of the government.
I was walking around the deserted part of the beach (everyone had taken the shells from that spot and moved on) when I noticed a odd shadow in the distance. The closer I got, the smaller It got. Only five hours until this "knight is to come to our island. What is a knight anyways?
Before the sun set my family, and the rest of the Island dwellers got home. At that time they had to tell me something.
"We have something to tell you. Have you heard about the Knight yet?"
"Yea, Saturos said something about it. What is a 'Knight' anyways?"
"I have to tell you the full story. Before he comes. We can't risk it."
'Risk it? What does she mean'
"About 15 years ago a army of men in armored suits came to our village."
'Theres that village word again'
"They counquered us in a matter of minutes. The leader's name was Sorutas. Hell rained upon our village for a day. Fire fell from the skies. Waves crashed into our village. Then it all stopped. No one knew why he was doing it. Until a soldier came into our house.
"What, how did you guys escape!?"
"He didn't attack us. Thankfully. He told us that the Sorutas had moved the army ten miles back and began to cut through the earth to push away our village from the rest of the world. He helped us find a safe spot while the attack was on. Same for the whole village."
"That's impossible!" I laughed. "No one can move worlds apart."
"Actually, he succeded. The reason were so close to the ocean is because.. we're in it. We are in the middle of the ocean. Sorutas succeded in sawing apart the world. He did it to ten other worlds."
'That must be why we have a ten star flag..'
"And.. the soldier that told us this, is still in the village."
"What! Why didn't you kill him, he could have killed us!"
My mom seemed a little odd when she said it, "The soldier is Saturos. He helped us!"
"What... Saturos is the soldier that helped you... that explains why he is the captain of our forces! Then why did he stay here?"
"We still don't know, all he told us was. Toe Bos Iy ehe Kty Tt M. G. We figured it was a old Angelic language. We had to teach him how to talk."
"If he couldn't talk, how did you tell you about the army and how to hide?"
"We haven't found that out, and even he doesn't understand how we knew either. You can go talk to him if you want, he can probably answer more questions then us."
I started to walk away.
"Wait theres one more thing. We got you a sword. It is your birthday after all!"
My eyes lit up. I bounced up in down in joy. I unsheathed the blade... but to my suprise... there was no blade. Just a hilt.
"I'm sorry, I had no idea I was buying a broken blade."
I screamed! "You didn't even look at the blade when you bought it!"
My dad jumped up and yanked the blade out of my hands. "This blade is not broken. You must learn to use it. It is a very... very special blade. Saturos made it himself. Go ask him how to use it, please. I'm interested in how to use it as well."
I ran out of the house as soon as I could to get to Saturos's house. The lights were off. I could here screams. Demonic screams. It was night before I knew it.
