| -The Trinity of Talius, Chapter 1:Captain Draven on Duty-
"The land is dry, sandy, covered with the blood of slain warriors, from clans and unions of all kinds.
The oceans are dried up, but the creatures that used to live there, now thrive on land. Sharkmen with their tridents defending the oceaness, crab men raiding homes with nothing but their own two claws, and the infamous sea dragon, Inbalu, traveling the world, bringing peace through destruction. He believes killing the human race will calm the world, and the gods will return the planet to it's original state.
But, let's go back a bit."
The man telling the story is Hans Rello,(Re-llo) A 71 year old man, telling the story to his children. He has a extremely large book in front of him, and he reads off of it. He looks very similar to the man you know as Gandhi.
Mhm...Ah, here's the page where it started.
It all started, fifty-years ago to this day, that the stone warrior met the princess. But for now, he's just a regular human knave, so we'll call him by his actual name, Rayvus, shortened to Ray. It all started- Oh wait, I've already read that part! Let me start again."
It all started fifty years ago, to this day. Rayvus the Knave, entered the throne room. He was tall, had eyes green as emeralds, hair as golden as the kings crown, and was as physically fit as Eric the Fit. He wore the traditional Chainmail and plain blue tunic as all knaves wore, with the golden shield on the front of his tunic, to symbolize his standing. He carried a short sword and shield, and walked-err, limped, with pride. He was just returning from slaying a goblin in town, which beat him surprisingly well with a thick stick, used in a clubbing fashion.
"Hail, Captain Draven! I have slain the goblin in Madam Maria's kitchen!"
"And?"
"And...Well...I killed a beast! What do I get?"
"Whatever she paid you for your service."
"She gave me her thanks."
"And that's all you get, boy. We do not do our job for the money, we're not those greedy monster hunters in Pree."
"Yes, true, but it was my first killing of a monster, and-"
"I see it beat you pretty bad."
"The stick it had was huge!"
Draven laughed somewhat at him. "Hah, now imagine if he had a real weapon, you wouldn't stand a chance."
"Those things are as swift as a jagged racer!"
"Then go out and kill a jagged racer."
"NO."
Draven laughed once more. "Now, what did you really come back for?"
"Well-"
A messenger carrying a scroll, arrived to them, outside the inner castle gates, from the inner castle.
"The king wants all guards to gather inside the castle for a rushed meeting."
"What? I don't remember being informed of a meeting." Draven scoffed.
"Well, it WAS rushed."Ray pipped in.
"Yeah Yeah, what's that you have there, boy?" He said, asking the messenger, but he ran off to the village, to inform them of, I suppose, the town meeting soon.
"We should probably close the gate behind us." Draven said, before walking over to the left gate control pulley. Ray went over to the right one, and they began turning them inwards, to close the door. Once they did, they headed in.
The king was an amazing man to gaze upon. With his smooth beard that was thick and full, to his full head of clean and white hair, to his golden crown and armor, to his golden sword to his left, and his golden shield to his right, he sat upon his throne with glory. He was a tall man, and appeared very powerful, someone you would fear to fight with, someone who rivaled that of the old joke man, Nuck Chorris, who was rumored to be as powerful as the gods themselves. He stood from his throne upon his lifted ground, and opened his arms to all his guards, until attention was held in his grasp.
"Boys, men, Whatever you consider yourselves, today is an important day to me. Today, is my Daugher's birthday. My Pride and joy, Trintilla."
This caught Ray's attention. He heard the princess was a beautiful girl, elegant and yet she stood with the power she carried in her position. She was a standing of motovation. As long as his daughter stood in the kingdom, the king's will would never waver. He had something to fight for. Something that was more important than anything else. Without her, he was a shell of a man. He was a weak man in the throne room, and a weak man on the battle field. His rage would fuel his resolve for some time, but it would not last long enough to suffice for what would happen, if he lost his daughter.
"As you all know, this is her 18th day of birth. And, I plan to make it a relaxed day for her, as we celebrate. We will take her to the town hall and let her answer some questions and speak with the public, and then for the rest of the day, you all must keep the public away from her and calm. Normally she can walk through town without fear of a mob of people, but today is a day a lot of people have been waiting for. Specifically the men. And I want you, my loyal warriors, to keep everyone away from her. No one gets within two arms lengths of her, and no one touches the stage she will be standing on. Understood?"
"YES SIR" the entire guard set-up for the outer castle, was to be working on this. There were plenty more soldiers in the castle, but the inner castle guards were the ones, who would be escorting the princess. This team, which included Ray and Draven, was known as the Steel blades. There were other teams, such as the ice blades, poison blades, Who were actually a rumored assassins for the king, and others, were off on different assignments.
"Good, That is all men, return to your posts, until Trintilla is ready to go. I will send a messenger boy to inform each of you, when she is ready.
And so, time passed. Draven and Ray opened the gates to return to their posts, but had to close the doors behind them, due to the mob of people trying to get inside.
The people questioned them, and some argued that the princess wanted to see them on her birthday. Draven and Ray tried to keep the crowd calm, but they only succeeded in getting the crowd away from the door, before Ray got knocked away by the gate door, upon the circle of knights exiting the castle, escorting the princess. Ray and Draven, unfortunately, were assigned to speaking with the crowd until the princess felt like talking to them.
"No, the princess is not up for marriage." Draven answered one young man.
"If you come up here, I'll cut you down." Ray threatened an intoxicated man, who was trying to force his way up the stage steps. He tried to come up anyhow, and Ray kicked him down. He couldn't leave the steps to continue his battery of the man, because others could hop through unnoticed.
"No, madam, the princess does not consider leaving for her own extent of the kingdom. For one, we dont have the supplies to build another castle, and extend the wall to it, and build homes for villagers and guards to live there." Draven continued to speak to the crowd.
The crowd was also angry at Ray, swinging at him over the side of the stairs and such, for harming the intoxicated man, who was escorted away by another guard.
"No, we are not in a state of debt or supply depression, we don't have an entire mine-worth of stone to build a new castle. And no, I will NOT ask the king about getting you a job in the mines, the mines are a personal family business, you'll have to speak with the owners, not us."
The princess finally stood up, and the chatter silenced, and the crowd roared and cheered, as Draven turned and saw her stand up, and stepped over to help Ray at the stairs, so everyone could see her.
"Hello, uhm, hello everyone!" It was obvious in her tone, she was very shy at talking to a crowd."S-so, any questions?"
Almost instantly, a wave of roars and questions shot forward, and it felt like half were requests to marriage, by a man or a parent trying to get them to notice their son.
After a few minutes of speaking, she finally stopped stammering.
"She seems to be getting the hang of it." Draven said, sitting by the stairs, with Ray.
After a few more minutes of Q and A, the crowd begins to cheer, as she decides she's done with it. Draven and Ray stood, and with the rest of the guards, they forced the crowd to leave, before they escorted the princess back to the castle.
"Quite a day, huh kid." Said Draven to Ray, as they took their position back at the inner gate.
"Yeah, I still think that goblin was the highlight of my day."
"Oh forget the goblin, you actually have a chance at the princess, kid."
"What!?"
"Ssh, shut up."
"Sorry."
"I was trying to tell them she wasn't up for marriage, because you have to take a chance at her, Ray. You have no family, no friends-"
"Hey!"
"Like I said, no friends, and no chance at sucess as long as you continue as my page."
"I make enough to suffice as a guard." Ray said with slight anger.
"Not enough. You marry her, you are set for life, financially."
"I made an oath to the king,
"Stop worrying about the king, he'll be fine with her marrying a nobleman."
"But I'm not."
"But you are. At least, you need to convince them you are."
"Are you telling me to lie to the face of the king, and the entire royal family?"
"Nah, I'm messing with you kid, you've got no chance. At least I know you have a good heart."

(Also, I shall post a part a day, at least. Chapter 1 will be finished either tomorrow or the next day, hopefully, so I can get on to the adventure part.)

| -The next day-
Ray and Draven arrived at the gate as usual.
"Greetings, Draven!"
"Hello, Rayvus. How did you rest last night?"
"I slept fair, you?"
"I rested well."
"Good to hear."
"Definitely."
"Enough with the small talk, who's that up ahead?"
"Look's like a forest Blade, but-"
The man in forest green and black armor limped to them, bloody, with several arrows in his armor, mainly around his chest.
Draven and Ray rushed over, Ray catching him before he collapses to the ground, Draven helping him up.
"What the hell happened to you?" Draven asked, and urged Ray to go get a doctor.
"E-Every...Everywhere..."
"What is? What is everywhere?"
"U-uh.."
"Cmon, ANSWER ME!"
"Undead.."
The man let out a gush of air, and went limp.
"Shit..."
Ray and a battle Doctor arrived, and he handed the body to the doctor, and explained that undead forces were coming.
But, he was cut short, as they plowed through the gate, into the village. Undead, by the hundreds, dare I say thousands. Raiding houses, chasing away people towards the castle. The two quickly opened the gates, and let everyone in, as the rest of the iron blades formed a wall formation, and moved forward.
They fought and fought, and they continued to pour through.
"There's too many!"

| "Keep fightin-"
"Shit, Cornelius is dow-"
"DON'T GIVE UP, WE CAN WIN THIS!"
"THEY DON'T STOP COMING!"
"Rgh, Alright men, brush off and retreat!"
The warriors slammed away their foes, and went into full retreat.
Then...Then came the archers.
The arrows, raining from the sky. Ray didn't have a helmet, and nor did Draven. Paiges were not issued helmets, and Draven did not use helmets, some kind of pride issue.
"Arrows! Incoming!"
The sound of blood splatters came from all around ray, and even behind him, but he reached the castle walls safely.
They closed the gates, and he looked behind him.
Draven had five arrows in his back, and one in his arm.
"I-I barely saved you, and myself with my arm..." He dropped to his knees, and coughed up blood. He was escorted into the castle, they needed to fix him up, and quick.
The inner gate was closed while they retreated, and so was the outer castle, which they resided in.
"Not good, not good, not good..." One man paced and worried. Cornelius, he had one week left, until he retired to be with his family full time, and his baby that...was...going to be born.
A man sat on the weapons chest, crying through his bucket helmet. Karti, he had a family, two kids, and his parents had just arrived from distant travel to meet him on his birthday. Today would be more than the worst birthday of his life, but the worst he'd ever felt, and a nightmare to him for the rest of his life.
Rayvus, just stood there in the middle of the room in disbelief. Everyone, slaughtered in an instant.
Mother, father, sister, brother. All were slaughered without remorse.
This meant war, whether they fought or not.

| "Get up, it's time to FIGHT!" Ray roared, as he drew his blade. Everyone sat around in despair.
"You Cowards! Fools! You just stand here, afraid to avenge your family and friends?"
The room was silent.
"Well?"
Slowly, they stood up, readying their weapons.
"That's more like it. Take position, and remember, for the king!"
"Yes yes, for the king." Says a man in a black and red cloak, shrouding himself.
"Who are you?" A man said, approaching him.
He swung off his cape, shot forward at unreachable paces, and appeared back in place, catching his cloak and escaping, with a smoke explosion.
When the smoke cleared, the man who had approached the unknown figure had five wing blades in his chest, in a horizontal row. He fell to his knees, and died upon hitting the floor.
"Didn't he come from the throne room?"
"THE KING!"
They reached the king's throne room, to find him dead on the floor, wing blades all over his body. His princess is curled up in fear behind the king's throne, while two of the assassins approached.
"HALT, STATE YOUR NAME AND PURPOSE!" Ray roared.
They turned, and looked.
"Another body for the gutter." One spoke.
They appeared behind him, instantly.
"Oh fu-"
One soldier tapped an assassin on the shoulder, the entire force behind him. "Hello, would you spare a moment for my blade?"
He swung it at the assassin, but he disappeared.
The other turned, and threw a smoke bomb down, disappearing.
From the main room came the sound of the monsters pouring in.
"Shit."

| "We're going to hold them off, Ray, find the queen, and get her and the princess out of here!" One loyal soldier said, and lifted his polearm.
Ray nodded, and they headed out the tunnels.
Carnage as far as the eye could see.
Burning homes, screaming families, enraged warriors battling the undead...
The princess had to look away as they ran, for she knew the sight would be graphic.
Up ahead, was an open plain, which lead to a rocky mountain. That mountain was their chance at escape.
(This part cut short, for the epic end of chapter 1.)

| "This way, princess!" Ray spoke, as he ran with her towards the plains. Behind them, was the roar of Draven.
-Medical room, left wing of Talu castle-
"Get up and fight woman, we're going to die, we have to kill as many as possible!" Draven yelled back to the medical woman, who was curled up in the corner with a bone saw. Draven was fighting against the mob of undead trying to fight through the small doorway.
He ducked as a bone blade swung at his head, and kicked one back, knocking a large amount of the undead in the doorway, down to the ground. More poured forward, and he continued slashing.
"Not good, not good!" The woman panicked.
"GET UP HERE AND HELP WOMA-"
A blade stuck through Draven's chest, as he looked down at it.
The woman screamed in fear, as his head was chopped off.
As his blades fell, it was the end of the woman.
But where was she?
She was no longer in the corner.
She was gone.
Nowhere to be seen.
The undead, being the fools they are, left without a thought.
-Back at the plains-
"Do you even know where we're going, young warrior?"
"Not a clue."
"Then why are we heading this direction?"
"Because it's the only place without undead."
As they went over the hill, an army of undead, lead by a man with a large crow on his shoulder, approached.
"Oh gods, you were wrong warrior!"
"Do not worry, perhaps we can reason with the man."
"Reason with a leader of undead forces?"
"He seems like an intelligent man."
"Ho! Well met, sir!"
"Stand your spot, Boy!" The man Cawed. Literally, Cawed. His crow spoke the words with him, pitch for pitch, word for word.
"We are but simply looking to leave sir, no trouble is wished."
"Then you're speaking to the wrong person, child!"
"Listen sir, I wish to take my friend here away from the village, because she does not deserve death."
"All deserve death, and we are here to bring it, time and time again."
"You are an intelligent man, I'm sure you know what it is like to protect those who do not deserve the end of the blade."
"I bring death, I know not of any who do not deserve death, boy."
"You fight for your cause, to prevent your foes from bringing it to an end."
"That is different."
"Not at all."
"Do not argue with me."
"Admit it, I am right."
"I am tired of wasting my time on you, continue on your path, but next time we meet, I will kill you myself, boy."
"Thank you sir, I look forward to matching wit with you in a real contest."
As they walked off, the princess looked at him.
"..."
"...What is it, princess?"
"...How did you do that?"
"I have no idea, He just looked smart, so I outsmarted him."
"How could you tell he was of high intelligence?"
"He taught a bird to speak with him, he's obviously smart."

| -Chapter 2:An eye for both legs-
The duo stop in front of an abandoned mineshaft, in the shroud of shadows, known as midnight. The nights in Talius were among the most dangerous, the desert being the most dangerous, as it always is.
"Let's rest here for the night, it looks like the tunnels deeper in are blocked off by boulders." Ray said, helping the princess up the steps to the mineshaft, before entering it himself.
He placed his outer shirt on the ground, for her to sit on while she rests for the night. He looks at her as she sits on it.
"Princess-"
"Call me Trintilla." She said, in a tear filled murmur.
"Alright. Trintilla, What are you going to do once-"
She was sobbing at this point, and he decided he should just let her mourn for a while, she hadn't got the chance until now.
Eventually, the veil of sleep drooped over his eyes.
He woke to the scream of Trintilla, as he looked up at a floating shadow figure with curved blades on it's outer fore-arms staring at him...Into him.
He was too groggy, and the creature pinned him down against the wall.
"Exsssplain your presence in my caverns boy, and don't hesssitate, or your friend may not survive..." The creature whispered to him.
"I-I am just protecting her, we had no idea these were your caverns, sir!"
"Yes, we mean no harm to your caverns dark one!" The princess said, afraid to approach the demon of the mines.
He withdrew his blades from the wall.
"What forced you to arrive here, childrennn?"
Ray took a breath in. "Well..."

| "...and that's how we ended up here."
"Ssso you two, are from The kingdom down that way-"
"Yes." The princess answered.
"And you are the pr-"
"Yes." The princess answered again.
"But who are you?"
"Rayvus. You can refer to me as Ray, if you wish."
Ray...
Could he be the one from the prophecy?
"Hey Demon fellow, ________"
He is so...feeble, and foolish, though!
The stone warrior was supposed to be a powerful warrior!
"Are you awake, mister demon?"
"Nagh, Call me Dexio."
"Alright Dexio, how did you get here?"
"It is a long story."
"We're fine waiting here for sunrise."
Dexio waited for them to sit down and get ready to listen.
"To start off..."

| "...And that's how it's been, for longer than I can remember."
"you've been trapped here for HOW long?"Ray asked.
"At least a couple of hundred, I do not know."
"And you can travel in bodies?"
"Yes."
"But you have no magic in the sunlight?"
"The very little I have, yes."
"So, you're a void demon?"The Princess spoke in curiosity.
"Yes."
"Would you care to help us take back our lands?"
"Against an undead army, three of us? No."
"Do not worry, we will gather an army, first."
"In that situation, sure. You both seem like noble people, so your cause must be noble in some form."
"For the most part, yes it is."
"Which one of you shall I travel inside?"
"In case anything goes wrong, I want you to travel in me for now." Ray said bravely.
"Alright, see you two tonight." He said, as he swirled into a purple orb, and imbued himself into ray.
What a strange creature.
I can hear your thoughts now, Ray.
Well, you are!
After some discussion, the team decided to set out for the centaurion lands. The Centaurs were great allies in the Envillion wars, perhaps they still had friendly relations with humanoids?

| "Dexio, do you remember anything about the centaurion and human relations in the last hundred years?"
"I remember something about them fighting a war together."
"Yes, we are aware of the Envillion wars."
"I remember they won the war, and they made a temporary treaty of no aggression or tresspassing, I am not sure if they made it permanent or not, though."
"Hmm, we need to think of an excuse for why we're there, if the treaty is still in effect."
"I'm sure if you explain your story, they will understand."
"You're right, what could go wrong?"
-A few days later-
Ray and the princess were on their knees tied up, sitting in front of gallows.
"Damn it dexio, how did THIS happen?"
"You got into an argument and fought one of the centaurs."
"Oh, right."
"Well, good luck in the after life, you two!"
"Dexio you Jack-ass, get us out of here!"
"Fine..."
The sky became dark-
Whoops, I went a bit too far ahead! Let me start back when they arrived at the gates.
-At the gates of the centaurion lands-
"Hello-"
"HALT, HUMANS, STATE YOUR PRESENCE"
"We are here to speak with your highest ranking person, which should be the king here, correct?"
"YOU ARE CORRECT, BUT WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO SEE THE KING."
"What? Why not?"
"WE DO NOT TRUST THE HUMANS, WHY WOULD WE ALLOW YOU TO STAND A BLADE THROWING DISTANCE FROM OUR KING?"
"There is no reason you should, but we need help. Our kingdom has been destroyed by the undead legions, and we are gathering an army of races to fight them."
"How can we prove this to you,?" the princess asked.
Dexio emerged from Ray through his shadow.
"I have sided with him for the same reason he wishes for you to."
"A shadow demon? You must have a good reason...."
The guard pondered for a moment.
"Get to know some of our citizens, let them know about you, then we will consider it."
"We hope you let us in." Ray said with a smile.
"They would as well." The princess said, before she went into what appeared to be a trance, as the group entered the city.

| What do you think she meant by that Dexio?
Her people that were lost, they would want you to gather an army and take revenge, but first, they would want you to speak with the king of the centaurions.
Huh, how did you figure that out?
I searched her mind.
Why?
I grew tired of picking through your childhood.
Ray sighed, and looked over at the princess-
Hey, where did the princess go?
I believe she went to meet people in the town. She's safe, do not worry.
How do you know?
I have a mental link with you both. I could connect you two if you wish, but It would require her agreement.
That would be...interesting.
Alright, you meet some people around the town, while I speak with her.
Ray began to ponder, where first?
The weaponry shops, of course!
-At the leatherworks shop-
"Well, it was nice getting to know you!" The princess said, as she left the leather works shop.
Hello young one.
What is it Dexio?
The boy requests a mental link with you, after I informed him of it.
A mental link?
Through my mind, I allow you two to speak to each other.
That sounds interesting, go ahead and try it out, if you wish.
Alright, give me a few moments.

| Alright, you two should be able to hear each other's thoughts, now.
Really?
Hey, I CAN hear you Trintilla!
Hmm, Your power knows no bounds, Dexio.
Thank you, m'lady.
Now that I ponder the thought of it, what will either of you do when the army is gathered? You do not have a silver tongue, nor the ability to command legions of warriors to their almost positive deaths.
All will be figured out in time, Dexio.
Well said, Trintilla.
Rayvus-
You can refer to me as Ray if you wish, madam.
Ray, you were the apprentice of Draven, right?
Correct, I was his paige.
What made him take you under his wing, instead of the more defined and powerful apprentices?
I don't know, something about auras and essences?
You say that, as if you don't know.
Don't know what, Dexio?
Of your power.
What power? I'm scrawny and can barely lift a greatsword made of rusted steel.
The power of the ancients, you have a shard imbued in you.
A shard? Of what?
Of power.
What does this shard Do?
When the time comes, you shall see.

| Do I become a giant with a flaming sword? Do I become as amazing and powerful as the gods? Do I-
You will see in time!
Sorry.
No worries, it is natural to be excited. What I don't understand, is why the princess, is not.
This struck both in shock.
What do you mean by that!?
Nothing madam, it's just that the feelings you ha-
Silence you black tongued demon!
As you wish.
What did he mean, Trintilla?
Nothing, Ray. Do not bring it back up.
As you command. Princess, one question.
Yes?
Why are these centaurions circling me?
What!? Get out of there, Ray!
"Woah there, easy big fellows, I mean no harm, I am supposed to speak with civilians here, get friendly with the towns people, tell them about myself, no need to draw spears on me!"
"You are traitor scum, you will be executed, with your friend."
"No! Get back, you liars and thieves!" Ray said, drawing his blade.
He was quickly struck downwards by the shaft of a spear, his shoulder knocked out of place.
"Argh, y-you...I wont let you get her!" He grabbed the blade with his other hand, but he was quickly smacked across the head, and knocked out.

| "Get back, you freakish pillagers!" Trintilla exclaimed. She was surrounded, and only Dexio stood in their path to her.
"You foooolsss, You shall not lay a single dirty hand on one of my carrierssss..."
One attempted to spear him, but he quickly swerved around his arm, twist it around to break it, go into his body through his nostrils, and rip his soul from his body, in one fluent move. As the others moved in, he dove to another and ripped his head off, breaking the leg of another by throwing the head.
He continued fighting, but in the midst of it, she was grabbed. The centaurs were part horse, he could not catch them.
Damn it, this is not good...
He sunk into the shadows, and followed them as fast as he could.
-3 hours later-
"Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you an execution, of trespassers!"
The audience cheered in the roman Colosseum-style building.
Dexio snuck through the shadows, into Ray's mind.
Hello, Warrior.
Damn it dexio, how did THIS happen?
You got into an argument and fought one of the centaurs.
Oh, right.
Well, good luck in the after life, you two...
Dexio you Jack-ass, get us out of here!
Fine...
The sky became dark...
The dark clouds tore open...

| And no one knows what happened after that!
That's right, not a single witness remembers the event.
Anyhow, back to the story.
"What happened, Dexio?"
"Why are we in a forest?" Trintilla said, looking around.
"I don't know, but we better leave while we still can..."
"Where?"
"To the elvish lands, the elves are more kind people, they spend more time studying the humanoid mind, than holding petty grudges."
"Now that I think of it, did anyone else feel the dark essence flowing in the air, while we were there?" Trintilla said.
"I did as well, but I figured it was from the presence of Dexio."
"I produce no evil essence unless I allow myself to, I'm afraid."
"But...That was a lot of dark essence I sensed, are you sure you didn't accidentally allow yourself to?"
"Positive. Until I unleashed the darkness of the void, I was showing no dark presence."
"So, the centaurs are being corrupted?"
"It appears so." Trintilla said, with sorrow for those who will soon lose their lives to the sickness and destruction corruption brings.
"What does the corruption do?"
"It brings sickness and war, simple as that."
"What are we going to do about this?"
"Speak with the elves, and hope they have some way to solve this."
"Is that our only option?"
"At this point, yes."

| "While we travel, does anyone know any bards tales we can sing of?"
"No."
"No."
"...OK then..."
-Later, at the elvish gates-
"It sure is quiet here.."
"We are aware, Ray..."
"Silence Ray, Dexio, listen."
There was the slight sound of Leaves rustling.
A young elven boy comes bursting from the trees, running from a bear.
"Ho! We better scare the bear away!"
"Leave this, to me..."
Dexio disappeared in a buff of shadows, and seconds later, the bear began running around in circles, and then ran off.
Dexio appeared beside Ray, from his shadow. "Easy."
The young elven boy of blond hair, 5'4 height, blue eyes, and of skinny and light leather clothing, approached them, physically tired.
"Th-Thank-thanks, You guys s-saved me..."
"Save your breath child, why are you out here?" Trintilla said, approaching him. Her beauty practically put him in a trance, and likewise, but he quickly shook out of it. She, on the other hand, continued to stare at him.
"Are-Are you alright? You seem a bit dazed..."
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine."

| "What were you doing, anyhow?"
"Ray, don't be no-"
"Taking my hunters test."
"I'm guessing you failed."
"Yeah."
"And you used a bow?"
"Yes."
"To hunt, a bear."
"Yes."
"Don't."
"Don't what?"
"Don't try that again-"
Trintilla pushed Ray out of the way. "Is there any way we can help you with your hunter thing?"
"No, I have to do this on my own."
"Good to hear you're an honorable man." Ray said, getting up.
"Honorable really doesn't fit my history."
"What do you mean?"
"I was a thief for a living, when I was younger."
"You don't look that old now, though."
"Elves age at one fourth the rate of humans."
"Interesting."

| "How old would you be in human years?" Trintilla asked, interested in this elvish boy.
"About 72, I believe."
"So you're technically 18?" Ray said, curious in this elvish being's aging process.
"Correct."
"Would you mind getting us through the gates, to speak with the elf king?" Trintilla said, happily.
"I can try, but I doubt I can. But since you people saved me, perhaps they will let you meet the general."
"Then he can get us to the king, right?"
"Possibly."
"That works."
"Alright, follow me. It's getting dark, you fellows may want to rest in my cabin for the night, before we head to speak with the general."
You have no chance, child.
Silence Dexio, I do!
No, you don't. Befriend him, but do not get too close, I sense a small amount of darkness in his heart.
What do you mean, he is a pure man!
Pure male, of course, but not a man of pure heart.
No No, you have to be wrong, Dexio! He is kind to us, No darkness sensed!
Your affection blinds you from sensing his aura, it is a trick all elves are born with. A human cannot help but love elvish people of the opposing gender.
That is a lie, he would never deceive me!
You are already showing your forced affection, I am done with this conversation.
Hmp, stay out of my mind, Dexio.
Over my eternally dead body.

| "So, hunting runs in the family?" Ray asked the boy, while they walked down the path.
"It runs in every family, One side has to hunt, at least. And if you were lucky, your mother hunted, while your father was a light guard."
"A light guard?"
"A Elvish paladin."
"Ah."
"So, where do you fellows come from?"
"The lost kingdom to the south, I'm afraid."
"You mea-"
"Yes."
"So she's princess Trintilla, but who are you two."
"I am Rayvus, but you can call me Ray."
"I, am Dexio."
"Nice to meet you three! I see why you need to speak to the general so bad, now!"
"Yes, and also on the topic of some...other, issues."
"What do you mean?"
"If you are lucky, you shall not have to know, elvish one."
"Oh, I'm varus by the way."
"Nice to meet you Varus." Ray said plainly, tired.
"Your name sounds familiar..."Dexio thought.
"Yeah, my dad has the same name, and my grandfather!"
Dexio thought, then exclaimed in his mind. "Varus...Hrothmin?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Lucky guess, I suppose."

| I knew this kid was trouble, Ray!
What do you mean, Dexio?
His family, his grandfather to be specific, trapped me like this!
W-what do you mean?
I mean, his father is a demon possessed warlock.
No way, why isn't he one then, from the exposure?
His father, isn't his real father.
But wouldn't his mother know-
Dark magic.
Right.
Listen kid, we need to keep an eye on him and Trintilla. He's seducing Trintilla, and then he can corrupt her pure heart with the influence of lust and insanity.
I'll KILL HIM.
He has a dark power sealed inside, you are too weak to contain it after you kill him.
I'll kill it was well!
It will simply take control of you, and destroy more people with his newly obtained form.
That's not good.
Not at all.

| So you're telling me, he's a walking shadow beast, waiting to be unleashed?
Even if he dies of age, it will be released.
What happens if he attacks Trintilla though?
Then we'll have to kill him, unfortunately.
But you just said we don't have the power to-
You don't.
You do?
I know how to, and I can sense those who have the power to.
So, if you kill him, you can find someone who can get the job done.
Correct.
Keep that in mind, if he lays one hand on her, his entire arm comes off.
You sound like a sibling to her.
I was ordered to guard her with my life, as the last breath of my fellow warriors, as they fought to their deaths. I will honor that request.
Good man, you will make a fine warrior.
You mean I'm not?
Not even close.
Well, that's disappointing.
But, that just means you'll get a lot better.
True, true.

| "So, princess, how did you get here of all places?"
"We barely escaped with our lives from the centaurs."
"Centaurs, I hate those guys."
"They hate us as well."
"Understandable, the humans did betray them after the war ended."
"Actually, they killed one of our spies, after they agreed to let us have spies among their civilization."
"So, it was they who backstabbed the humans?"
"Correct."
"Huh, you learn something new every day."
"I didn't know until a month later, when we pillaged the town and retrieved the body."
"I would call it cruel, if it wasn't so...justified."
"That's what I said to my father after it had happened."
"What happened while you were in there?"
"We were allowed in, I met this nice woman at a tanning shop for leather, and then we got circled and attacked by soldiers. Dexio tried to protect me, but there were too many."
"At least you have good friends there for you, right?"
She sighed. "I suppose."
"What do you mean suppose?"
"Dexio is a bit rude, and Ray was forced to escort me."
"I'm sure he enjoys being around someone as beautiful as you."
"What did you say?"
"H-Huh? oh, I said enjoy being around someone as intelligent as you."
