A beautiful start
(A small village in the Socuria Kingdom)
(Suddenly kids running in the nearby forest)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(Jumping from tree to tree & checking the surroundings)
Allan(Luke's friend)

(Suddenly luke caught them both from behind)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
It's just like how larc said it.I'm an expert
Allan(Luke's friend)
Ya,ya, whatever.I'll catch you someday
Larc(Luke's friend)
I hope Clare is alright
Allan(Luke's friend)
Ya.. looks like she's still hiding.So your gonna look for her?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
There is no need for that,cause when it's Clare I always see her running from something.So I will catch her eventually 😂
Clare(Luke's friend)
Yup,this is the perfect spot to hide and relax, especially from luke😊
(She was hiding inside a cave.When she looks deeper inside she sees two glowing red eyes)
Clare(Luke's friend)
(o,ok,okay,that is really scaring me)
(She continues to stare at the eyes as the fear increase)
Clare(Luke's friend)
I can't take it anymore 😭.It's sooo scary
(Clare started running with her eyes closed & somehow managed to come where Allan,larc & luke were)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
See...just like how I said it would happen 😂
Clare(Luke's friend)
Save me,this forest is sooo scary 🥺😭
(Allan manages to stop her & calm her down)
Allan(Luke's friend)
You really are a scary-cat & yet you say you want to join the blue dragons
(Clare stamps on Allan's feet & pouts)
Clare(Luke's friend)
Rude😠
Larc(Luke's friend)
True it's rude.But you better overcome your scariness or you will never get in.They want women with courage & without fear
Clare(Luke's friend)
I'll do my best
Larc(Luke's friend)
I will be going for the magic classes,since I'm gud at it.i like to be a great mage someday
Allan(Luke's friend)
I like to get into the action,so I'm planning to join the black rings
Larc(Luke's friend)
So what are u gonna do luke?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
I was thinking about joining the sword-magic weilders
Allan(Luke's friend)
Ar,are you serious!That is the most difficult thing ever,only the chosen ones are able to join them
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Well, I already made up my mind.cant change now
Larc(Luke's friend)

After cleaning the plates & entering her bedroom & sitting on her bed)
Alice(Mom)

Alice looking at the corner of her room where her sword stays still waiting to be unsheathed once again)
Alice(Mom)
No....I left that life a long time ago.i am a mom now.i don't need it.im happy with my life the way it is right now
(Alice then goes to sleep)
(While luke is sleeping his seal on his back starts glowing & a small crack appears on the seal)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(waking up & yawning) didn't had those dreams yesterday,so I had a good night sleep
(luke entering the living room)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
hmmm... where's mother,I don't see her
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Looks like breakfast is ready (I'll eat it & head out)
(after eating the breakfast Luke headed out to see if his mother was there in the fields)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)

Alice(Mom)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
nothing much,I was just eating your delicious breakfast
Alice(Mom)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Really mom!😳😳
Alice(Mom)
(laughing) seeing you blush like that makes my day😂
(Alice continues to work on the fields.luke sees her exhausted expressed face.He calls out his mom extending a hand, indicating to give him the shovel)
Alice(Mom)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
I said I'd help didn't I,plus you look tired.go take a break grandma 😋
Alice(Mom)
Gra, grandma.hey I'm not that old you idiot 😤😠
luke still smiling at her with his hand extended)
Alice(Mom)
(starring right back at him)Fine..you win
(Alice gives the shovel to luke & sits on the ground relaxing)
Alice(Mom)
this is nice... finally some rest😊
(luke was busy working on the field with his mom watching him when suddenly luke stops)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
You again....
(In front of luke there was a shadow figure standing starring right back at him)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
You really don't plan on leaving me alone, do you?(this is the 5th time I'm seeing this thing)
(The shadow figure was still starring ¬ doing anything.luke slowly puts himself in a fighting position still holding the shovel.The shadow figure &luke were starring at each other when suddenly the figure marches forward with a punch.luke dodges to the right & swings the shovel to the figure face.The figure ducks & gives another forward punch on Luke's abdomen.luke falls back on the ground not able to get back up due to the pain.The shadow figure right arm changes to a sword.By seeing that luke struggle to get up trying to forget the pain.The shadow figure moves forward with the intent of killing him by piercing his heart.In that second luke kicks the figure's leg making it fall forward.Before it could get up& strike again,luke takes the shovel & quickly strikes on the back of the figures neck, dislocating the head from the body.luke was completely exhausted but kept his composure &was starring at the headless figure...after a few seconds the figure vanishes)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
yea...(breathing heavily)you better run
(Alice comes running to luke with a terrified expression on her face)
Alice(Mom)
what are you doing?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Don't worry mom,I defeated it
Alice(Mom)
What are you talking about?there is no one here besides us
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Wha,what you mean?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
you couldn't see it
Alice(Mom)
there is no one here,you were swinging the shovel here and there
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(Impossible,it's gotta be real.i felt it)
Alice(Mom)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
it's nothing mom,I was just playing around.you go prepare lunch,I will finish this in the mean time
Alice(Mom)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(I better keep this a secret,for now atleast, until I figure out what it is)
Another crack appears on the seal.........
Doubts
(Luke lying on his bed deep in thought about the fight two days ago)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
It was real,I know it was.There is no way it can't be
(suddenly he hears his friends calling out to him)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Huh,..ohh shoot,we told that we would hang out today.Damn I can't believe I actually forgot
(luke gets ready & heads out to meet his friends)
Allan(Luke's friend)
what took you soo long?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
sorry,I kinda forgot
Larc(Luke's friend)
that's strange
Clare(Luke's friend)
well now he's here,so it doesn't matter.Lets go & have some fun
(the 4 of them were having fun as usual & were finally taking a break in one of their spots)
Clare(Luke's friend)
I really love this spot of ours.its sooo beautiful.Flowers on one side, beautiful grass on the other side & a giant tree in the middle.our very own flower garden ❤️
Larc(Luke's friend)
your right,it really is beautiful
Allan(Luke's friend)
it's just a normal garden
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(leaning against the tree & watching the butterflies).. beautiful
Allan(Luke's friend)
Hey I have an idea!
Larc(Luke's friend)
great,it's gonna be another lame one
Allan(Luke's friend)
I didn't even say it
Larc(Luke's friend)
well coming from you I can already guess it will be one😋
Allan(Luke's friend)
true,but seriously this is a good one
Clare(Luke's friend)
what is it?
Allan(Luke's friend)
Let's duel
Larc(Luke's friend)
why did I even bother to listen
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
is that a joke
Allan(Luke's friend)
just consider it as training 😁
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
You do realise that I can't use magic
Allan(Luke's friend)
Don't worry,I won't be too hard on you.plus it would be a good way to know where are weakness is so that we can focus on developing it
Larc(Luke's friend)
A valid point.i would like to know which spells would be useful in combat.plus if I work hard enough I won't have to chant the magic just like the elders.i will be able to use it at will
Allan(Luke's friend)
I see.By the way luke,why aren't you able to use magic?
Larc(Luke's friend)
he's right,I'm not sensing a drop of magic in you
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
I know,I'm working on it 😔
Clare(Luke's friend)
it's ok,just keep working hard.i know you'll get there
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
thanks clare
Allan(Luke's friend)
so.. ready to start the duel?
Clare(Luke's friend)
I'll be watching,you need a judge to see if there is any foul play.
Larc(Luke's friend)
you just wanted an excuse to back away
Clare(Luke's friend)
(shows an angry expressed face to larc)
Larc(Luke's friend)
you know what, Clare's right.I think we need a judge.😅😅
Allan(Luke's friend)
you're just scared of her😏
Larc(Luke's friend)
Shutup😤
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Alright,let's do this
Allan(Luke's friend)
Finally motivated,are you?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
You betcha 😁
Clare(Luke's friend)
Ok then,all 3 of you stand in different areas
(luke,Allan,& larc stand in 3 different places each facing the other one)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Gotta be fast,gotta be fast,gotta be fast
Allan(Luke's friend)
(l'll show you what I'm made of,larc)
Larc(Luke's friend)
(ok,gotta be cautious,I better pay attention to my spells range of attack & cooldown rate)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(I better win)
Clare(Luke's friend)
FIGHT
(Allan runs towards larc in order to defeat him first)
Larc(Luke's friend)
(that's right,just keep coming)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
This is my chance
(Allan almost reached larc & has reinforced his right arm with magic armour & gave a forward strike.But larc's body vanishes)
Allan(Luke's friend)
An illusion?
(larc appears behind him & uses explosion magic)
Larc(Luke's friend)
(I hope that did the trick)
Allan(Luke's friend)
Did you forget that I could reinforce myself to not take damage.
Larc(Luke's friend)
(okay...it didn't 😬)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(just a little bit more)
Larc(Luke's friend)
guess I have to step-up my game
Allan(Luke's friend)
You don't have the strength to-
(larc uses ice magic at Allan forming a thick ice on his body immobilizing him)
Allan(Luke's friend)
Ahhhhh,cold,cold,cold.its soooo coooollllddddd🥶
Larc(Luke's friend)
Do you admit defeat?
Allan(Luke's friend)
Ya,ya, whatever,just remove this spell
(larc removes the spell on Allan's body)
Larc(Luke's friend)
Now where's-
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Gotcha
Larc(Luke's friend)
(Damn,he came when I lowered my guard)
(luke grabs larc from behind & was about to knock him out)
Larc(Luke's friend)
(Damn it,I better use it)
(larc uses teleportation to escape from Luke's grasp)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
damn, almost had him
(larc appears a few meters behind him)
Larc(Luke's friend)
(exhausted)..that teleportation really took it out from me.Guess I'm not strong enough to use it yet
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(turns back to face him)you look kinda drained
Larc(Luke's friend)
Got a few more left in me
Larc(Luke's friend)
woah..he's fast
(luke reaches near larc & gives a straight punch to the face to knock him out)
Larc(Luke's friend)
I don't think so 😏
(larc forms a magical barrier around him deflecting Luke's punch)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Impossible
(larc then cast a wind magic to blow away luke.luke was then flown away due to the force & his back hits the tree & falls down)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
That-Was-Hard(I can't get up,damn it hurts)
Larc(Luke's friend)
Now-I-Am-Drained(falls to the ground)I'm out😵
Clare(Luke's friend)
(clapping)that was amazing.The winner of this battle is larc
Allan(Luke's friend)
tsk..if it wasn't for that ice magic I would've won
Larc(Luke's friend)
I better continue my training
Clare(Luke's friend)
guys c'mon,let's go it's getting late 😣
(luke starts to walk but then he sees it.The same thing that attacked him a few days ago right behind larc about to attack him)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
no,no,no,nooooo
(luke runs towards larc & pushes larc to the side.luke then stood in front of the figure using his body as shield)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
I won't allow you to hurt my friends
(The figure uses both of his hands to choke Luke's neck.It was choking so hard that luke was about to die.Then larc gets up & punches luke on the face & he falls down)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
What the hell are you doing?
Larc(Luke's friend)
I should be asking you that,why the hell were you choking yourself?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
I was,what?
Allan(Luke's friend)
Ya dude,first you pushed larc & then you were choking yourself
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
(what the hell is going on?)
Clare(Luke's friend)
luke,your scaring me
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
guys it's nothing.I,I have to go
(luke leaves alone deep in thought)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
I better do something about this
Larc(Luke's friend)
what's going on,this is the first time I'm seeing him like this
Clare(Luke's friend)
me too
Allan(Luke's friend)
Nah,he's just hungry
(larc & Clare stares at Allan)
Allan(Luke's friend)
what are you guys giving me that look for?
(luke was deep in thought thinking about the strange things that was happening to him while on his way home.On his way back he saw a woman sitting by the pond.She looked familiar,even though he never once saw her before.He felt some kind of connection.The woman looked back to see him & gave a gentle smile.When luke blinked,she was not there anymore,She had completely disappeared)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
what the?she's gone.I've never seen her before,yet why do i feel like I know her.Deep down there was some kind of connection.Ahh whatever,I'm just tired,I'll go and take a nap
(after 15 min of walking he reaches home)
Alice(Mom)
Hey kiddo,had fun?
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Thanks mom,I'll go get ready
Alice(Mom)

Alice(Mom)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)

Alice(Mom)

Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Thanks mom
(Alice keeps staring at luke thinking)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
what's the matter mom?
Alice(Mom)
ohh,it's nothing.Just lost in thought
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
Alright then
(later that night while luke was sleeping he had the most terrifying dream.He saw the city,the village & everything else up in flames.Then he saw his mom,Allan,Clare,larc lying dead & right on top of the mountain of dead bodies he saw a demon holding his head & laughing.While luke was looking at him someone grabbed his foot.When he looked down he saw it was his mom holding.In a loud voice she said "Wake Up".At that moment luke opened his eyes & woke up from the nightmare)
Zerah Darkrine (Luke Redworn)
