Chapter 1

In the middle of night at Cenaria Ruins, a group of treasure hunting thieves going around the castle searching for rare items or what left of this kingdom that falls 3 years ago to an empire called Knox. Cenaria was once the richest kingdom of Ivance, but got raided by bombs and mages which were left to ruins. The royal families soon vanished after the defeat of late king Vincent Strongheart IV and soon after across the southern plains was occupied my Knoxville. Those who are rich will have a decent life while those who are poor will becomes savages thieves lurking out of corners as if they are wild fiends themselves.
Julian leader of the group wears a black heavy amour plate with black steel legs, on the back in its sheath was his Rune Blade, polished and perfect. His hair is bold and face was half shaved all around. His eyes were sea blue and sparkled in the moonlight. To his right was Carlos, with his daggers tucked into side of his pants. He wears dark grey bandana on his forehead and a handsome young face which has a small cut on the side of his right cheek. He has a blond tousled hair with deep black eye and Markus which carries a gun and an eye patch on his right eye. He wears a leather jacket and pants with rubbery boot, his hair deep black that covers his right eye.
"Hey new kid what’s your name?"
"Huh, me?"
"Damn it who else is new around here?!"
"Relax Boss his a new recruit, hey tell us your name"
"Screw you! Who you calling to relax!"
"I'm Lucas"
"Damn such a waste of time lets move out boys! Lucas you go to dungeon see if you can find anything useful, Carlos you take upper chamber, Markus you come with me! We meet back here in two hours! Scatter now!"
Lucas makes his way across the chamber down towards the dungeon, searching through what has already searched and going in and out of what used to be a jail cell.
"Arrhhh Fiends!" screamed Julian from the chamber
Lucas looked back, and 3 hounds charges in the cell. Shaped like a dog with sharp fangs and claws. One jumped at him, he draws out his Dagger with swiftness and the hound’s fangs were pushing between his daggers. He thrash it only the other hound as another charges at him while the other crashes in mid-air against the other hound, he evaded the slash and draws out another Dagger and stabs it. The hound screeched and roars as the other two came back on its feet and starts for next assault. Lucas ran around the corner and both hounds ran after him, it leaps in air with there powerful force which collided with both Daggers and he was pushed back hard rolling into crack of the wall. Trembling down ridiculously into the darkness.
"Ouch! That hurts! Hmm where am I"
He searched into his rucksack and gets out a flare, light it up and sees a statue before him, it was damaged all over but something was winking at him as the flare, flickers through the chamber. Picks up both daggers and place them back into the pouch and goes see what it was, scratched it out and founds a gem like no other he seen.
"Nice got something, hmm what’s this..."
He picks up a piece of paper, which he read was the late king's of Cenarias will it wrote as he reads it:
'If you are reading this please do not let this gem be in hand of those who are abusive or misuse this power. The user would gain a power that would destroy a whole city and would kill the user, it is far too dangerous to use. I hope with sincerity that this gem doesn’t fall into the wrong hand, this is my final word I know this shall end of me along with many of my brave general
Vincent Strongheart IV'
A ray of light shines across the chamber in bluish color, Lucas looks up and sees a magical circle, the ground started to shake as the thing blasts across the room melting what ever is in its way. He quickly jumps down and places the two items into his pocket and ran through the opening out of the chamber.
(MEAN WHILE)
"Man that new kid taking his sweet time" said Carlos
"Maybe something happened to him?" asked Markus
"^%#$! Why we even sitting here waiting?!" shouts Julian
"We even know much about that guy?" asked Markus
"Beats me, he just joined to our clan 2 days ago” Carlos answered and he looks up at the stars while Markus cleanse his gun from bloodstains of fiends he just defeated.
"Damn i regret letting him join, his so slow!" screamed Julian
"But boss you always wanted more people to join our clan" said Markus eyeing at Julian.
Julian stayed quiet for a while then opens his mouth just when an explosion sounded from inner chamber and walls are crumbling from outside into the castle, then a big bluish beam shoots out into the sky and fades into the night sky. They all jumped up and draws out there weapon, Markus with is gun already out, Carlos draws out his daggers and Julian took out his rune blade. They see Lucas running out of the ruins with something behind him.
"IT COME!" screamed Julian
Shapes like a turtle with tons of swords sticking out of its back, a chain on its neck and its eyes yellow with reddish color around the iris. It casts Mana Beam and shoots off the distance towards Lucas. Lucas quickly jumped out of the way and watches as the trees that got hit burns into flames.
"It’s a Torist what the hell is it doing here?" asked Carlos
"Take it out! Aim for the head!" screamed Julian and all 3 of them spread out charges towards Torist.
Torist casts Resonance making everyone and everything spellbind to the ground into a vast area of land, even the trees and animals around falls hard. It raced forward and leaps into the air, Markus shoots while glued towards the ground his body, legs and arms wouldn’t allow him to move thus he is unable to lift his gun high enough to get a direct hit. One of the bullet hits Torist on the back of its body which didn’t seem to affect it much, Carlos threw the dagger with all his might but Torist evaded the attack and leaped back.
“#%^& its fast, I never seen one as fast as that!” screamed Carlos
“Tch, Figures it’s not normal like the rest” said Julian and all of them trying to get up.
“MOVE LUCAS ITS CASTING ANOTHER MANA BEAM” screamed Markus shooting aimlessly for the head.
Lucas tries to get up but his leg wouldn’t obey him, with a lot of effort he threw both dagger at the magical circle and luckily pierce Torist on its left eye while the other dagger flew up across the head, then all sudden a bullet hits the dagger and it spins down slicing the Torist's chain and stabs it hard on the neck. Torist’s Beamed exposed right in its face which made Lucas flung into the air and hits the ground hard, and then an awful screech cried as it dissolves away in the moonlight dropping something behind it.
"Lucas, Lucas!" cried Carlos as he tries to get up.
After a while they manage to get up from the ground, "^%#& it's a strong one, how was it able to move so fast and cast something that powerful?" asked Julian as he watches Markus loot the item.
"Does this answer your question?" he shows the crystal orb to Julian
"Whoa ha ha, best loot we ever had, its going to worth a hell a lot of money"
"Boss! Give me a potion, we need to take Lucas back to Lington quickly" shouts Carlos "I hope his going be alright"
"He better be alright! We need to celebrate on his first mission" Julian laughs as he walks over with the potion.
The party left to go back to town carrying along Lucas which was still unconscious along with them.
