At the time, Denivians, had no chance of fighting such a random enemy, with powers they had never seen before, but out of the darkness, 3 heroes of light, shined through! The white Witch, Alics, The White Rook, Dezz, and the White Knight, Mar. three warriors, who possessed the powers to defeat the black beasts. after 5 years of war, Alics, And Dezz finally developed a plan to stop the war, or at least Halt it, by sealing away the Malicious King, Mazoas. The 4 nation’s Leaders, agreed with Alics, and so they built a temple in the deep in the Ashdri desert, and lured the Dark King there. There Alics, and Dezz fought brutally against the King, in the chambers of fate, Despite Alics being weaker then the King, she managed to trick him, and seal him away, afterwards, Alics was battle worn and exhausted. She then, returned Victorious, but at the cost of losing her sister, Dezz, and her brother, Mar. sense afterwards, she had disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. A Grown man, closes a book, titled “The legendary 3” as the Man Looked towards a small child, His son. “Did you like that story, Xak?” The Man asked. “Yeah, sure did pop!” The Boy replied. As he was sent to bed with a pat on the head and fatherly smile, as his Mother leaned against the bedroom doorway. After the father, tucked the boy away, the Boy looked to his father and said “Hey dad… Do you think Alics is still alive, somewhere out there?” to which the father replied “I’m sure she is son, she’s out there, looking after all of Denivian kind. Just as she did all those years ago.” The Father, Gave his son a hug good night, followed by his mother with a kiss on the head. “Good night, Xak. Have pleasant dreams.” The Mother said, as they both exited the boy’s room. But shortly after they left, the Boy’s eyes opened and smiled deviously, he dashed for his window, and opened it up, and a Purple hair girl climbed through, “Geez, what took so long?” the Girl said. “Shhh!” the boy replied. “I had to wait for my parents leave.” He continued. “let me guess, they read you that dumb story about the White again, huh?” The Girl Mocked. “Hey that’s my favorite story and you know it!” The Boy replied sharply. “Yeah, yeah, but aren’t you like. 8 years old? Shouldn’t you be… I don’t know, done with fairy tales?”She stated. “heck no. In fact, I hope one day I’ll get to meet the witch, I mean it only makes sense! She’s my hero after all!”Xak said with stars in his eyes, The Girl swung a fist of Xak’s shoulder with a soft chuckle. “you’re a gullible one, Xak. Uhm, Deveron to Xak! the white witch is a fairy tale, Fair-ree Tale! Plus even if she was real, that story is like 900 years old, so by now, she’s either dead, or super old… Ech! Besides, why would you want her for a hero, when the Awesome and mighty, Woman of Power, is here, the great Ophilia! HA! HA! HA!” Ophilia bragged, flexing her arms, in a heroic pose. Xak looked at Ophilia with a unimpressed face “Really? The Great Ophilia?” Xak mocked, “Hey mock all you want, I’m not in Training for nothing! After all, I am in the royal guard elite training camp.””Yeah… in the Junior camp… Hee hee.” Xak belittled, Ophilia gave Xak an angry look, as she repeatedly punched Xak in the arm till it was black and blue. Xak rubbed his bruised shoulder, as she looked at Ophilia just as Angry. “What? You started it!” Ophilia stated. “Yeah, but you didn’t have to punch me so many times, and so hard too, geez. Sometimes I wonder if you forget your strength…” Ophilia Chuckled with a blush ”I know! Right! I’m so gifted!” Ophilia Bragged. “Yeah Gifted at being a numb skull, Tee hee!” Xak taunted. “Okay, buster! You’re getting it so hard this time, and you better not cry, or I’ll belt you another one, real good!” Ophilia said, Jumping at him over the bed, and tackling him to the floor, she sat on his torso, over powering him. “Wait S-stop! This isn’t fair! You’re stronger than me!” Xak whined. “What did I say about Cryin"“ Suddenly a knock at the door. “Xak are you awake?” Said a manly voice, it was his father. “Quick… Ophilia hide!” Xak Whispered. Ophilia panicked, and Took cover under the bed. Xak leaped in to his bed, and covered himself up, pretending to sleep, as the door opened. His father scratched his head in confusion. “Now, I could’ve swore I heard noises from from in here… I must be that exhausted…” The King looked at his son sleeping, and smiled, as she gently closed the door. Quickly Ophilia crawled out from under the bed, and Xak rose, as they both Giggled, at each other, the rest of the night, they played, and told stupid jokes, and stories, made shadow puppets, as good friends do. And every day they’d meet after dark, and hang out with each other. 6 years later. It was a beautiful day, the royal Guard trainee’s were graduating, Ophilia being so happy, now that she’s an official Royal Guard, she’d get to guard the castle, and be around Xak more now, then ever before. And not only that, but it was the Day before Xak’s 15th Birthday. That night after Graduation, Ophilia Once again snuck up into Xak’s room as usual. “Whoa, you finally did it, Ophs! You got in!” Xak chanted with cheer. “I know. 7 years of training, and everything. Just so I can be around you… Xak I"“ She was interrupted, “Right! Hey it’s my birthday tomorrow, and well I wanted to get you something!” Xak said as he walked over to his closet to look for something. “Uh, it’s your birthday, Xak. Why did you get me a present?” Ophilia, Blushed but was confused. “Because, numb skull, you and I finally became… well you know… Boyfriend and Girlfriend, on my Birthday 3 years ago… Duh! heh, Boy, Ophs, Usually you’re the one belting me to remember.” Xak said as he turned around with a present in his hands. Ophilia, blushed, as she scratched her head. “Heh… yeah, I guess I zoned out, thinking about Graduation and stuff. But honestly, Xak. you didn’t have to… I mean I feel bad I didn’t get you"“ She was Interrupted again. “It’s alright, Ophs, you didn’t have to. Sneaking off from training every night, for 7 years… I couldn’t possibly expect anything more from you, you’re all I need for a present.” Xak said happily, as She slugged him in the arm. ”you dork!” she replied, as she took the present from him and opened it, to reveal it was a silver ring with a purple jem on it. “Oh, my"Whoa? How? Well duh, you’re a prince, but wow! Are you sure this is for me, I mean… holy crap!” Ophilia stated as her eyes were so glued to the beauty. “Yep. It’s a promise ring…” Xak stated Shyly. “A p… Promise ring?” Ophilia repeated. “Yeah… a promise, that I’ll always be there for you, no matter what!” Xak stated as he grabbed Ophilia’s hands and held them tight against his chest. “I… I don’t know what to say, Xak. I’m honestly Surprised by this, I mean… I feel so honored, that you care about me so much… that’s a dangerous promise to making to a girl, especially a girl like myself… “She replied giving him a playful glare, with an eye brow raised and smirk on her face. “and I mean it…” Xak replied seriously, Ophilia’s playfulness was quickly dashed, as she blushed, suddenly feeling the warmth of his heart beating, with her hands toughing his chest. “well, I could never say no to you, Xak. you’re the cutest boy I’ve ever met, and only boy I’ve ever known.” Ophilia stated, as she placed her head on Xak’s chest, and listened to his heart beating, as she blushed brightly. “Xak wrapped his arms around her, and held her, as she did the same, holding each other. The night grew late already, and Ophilia, headed to guard’s barracks In the castle. Before they knew it, the Morning came already, and Xak’s 15th birthday, was underway! He was so excited, he couldn’t wait to see what his father had planned, and more especially what Ophilia, had planned. Xak, rose from his bed, and looked out his window, to see the kingdom… In flames, Black flames, Xak’s face turned to a horror, seeing the dead bodies everywhere, he assumed it was a nightmare, and closed his eyes, and rubbed them, but nothing changed, his first thought, was of his Love, Ophilia, and his parents, he rushed out his bedroom door, and ran down the stairs, as soon as he made it to the ground floor of the Castle, the image was more horrifying, He ran towards the Barracks, sense they were closer, to search for Ophilia, he dashed through the fiery hallways, and finally made it to the Barracks, but was stopped but a guard, “My prince! Thank goodness you’re safe! Place follow me, I’ll take you to the Safe room!” The Guard Shouted. “No, not without Ophilia!” Xak stated. “Ophilia? She’s not in there, as soon as the raid started, She dashed out to find you!” The Guard stated, but Xak slipped from the Guard’s grasp, and ran back the way he came. “Sir, Deen! Please, come back!” The Guard Shouted, chasing after him. “Go find my Parents, and make sure they’re alright! Don’t worry about me!” Xak stated as he was already further down the hall.” Xak shed a tear, worrying about his parents, and his Love. Hoping they’d all be alright. Ophilia was in Xak’s room by this point, but found out She was too late, and left to find him, Xak went back to his room, hoping she was there, but she was not. Ophilia checked back at the Barracks, thinking he came after her, but again, he wasn’t there. Xak left his room again, and decided to look for his parents, He knew Ophilia would find him. Xak walked into the throne room, just as he saw a black creature, standing on two legs, with black flames roaring on his head, Decapitating his Mother… “Xak shouted, in full charge! “Don’t touch my daaadd!” But as Xak tried to throw a punch, the Beast chuckled, and dodged it, vanishing and reappearing behind him. “You’re a fool if you think some raggedy kid, like you can touch me…” “Maybe he can’t! BUT I SURE AS HELL CAN!” a Voice called out, as a flying Knee struck the beast, knocking him back away from Xak, “Ophilia! You’re alright!” Xak shouted in joy. “Of course, It is me, after all! Now stand back, I’ll protect you.” Ophilia stated, as she got into her Boxing stance. “Alright, you walking camp fire, I’m going to roast your weenies, let’s go!” She stated, as she sprinted, than a short leap, packing a fist, ready to explode. The Beast dodged the impact, and vanished again, reappearing before the fear struck King. “I didn’t come here to battle… I came here to leave a message…” The Beast said, as she placed his hand on the King’s head, and lit him on fire, Black flames charred the King to ashes, Xak’s eyes widened in shock, as did Ophilia. “I’ll kill you for that!!!!” Ophilia shouted in pure Anger, as she dashed at the Beast. “You can take your Message and shove it up your a*s!” Ophilia shouted, as she punched the Beast over and over and over again, but this time the best was not budging. “Hmhm… You’re a feisty one… You’ll be the perfect key…” The Black fire monster said, as Ophilia was stunned in fear, seeing how her punched had no effect. “W-what the hell are you?” Ophilia asked quivering. “Ophilia Look out!!!” Xak shouted, But Ophilia couldn’t react in time, The beast struck her, unconscious, and grabbed her under his arm, and took Flight, busting through the castle ceiling. Xak chased after him, as he Jumped from on pillar to another, and made a leap of faith, reach his hand out for his beloved Ophilia’s hand. The Beast chuckled, and turned around moving Ophilia’s body away from his limit grasp, and smiled. “it appears I was right. You have a dark future ahead of you…” The Beast said, as he made his free hand in a gun gesture, pointing his index finger out, and his thumb up, and shot a small black pellet, into Xak’s chest, sending him flying, back into the castle walls, as he laid on the ground trying to regain his composure from the impact, his breath was getting hot, and his chest felt as though it was on fire… he squirmed and writhed in agony, with tears in his eyes, seeing his Beloved Ophilia drift away in the hands of the beast. “O.. Ophilia… I- I’m sorry...” Xak said barely able to speak. Xak passed out, moments later, and woke up the next day hearing a familiar voice, but yet a voice he did not recognize. “Happy Birthday, this is my gift to you…”said the voice, as Xak awoke in shock, thinking it was all a dream, but quickly dispersed his hopes, as he looked to see the castle in shambles… “I’ll get you… Whoever you are! Whatever you are! I’LL FIND YOU!!” Xak shouted in rage. He stood up from his spot, and suddenly saw some changes in his physical stature. His he didn’t feel pain or exhausted, and he felt completely fine, no sores or bruises. Xak was worried, but just assumed he was tougher then he thought. He walked back up to his room, and there on the bed was a gift. “wait. That wasn’t there yesterday… wait…” Xak suddenly had a flash back, Xak didn’t notice the present was there the whole time, when he woke up, he walked straight to the window, the present was there.”Maybe.. it was there the whole time?” Xak thought to himself, He opened the present a purple cloth… a note lied inside the Box. “Sorry I didn’t give this to you last night, I was nervous about your reaction, But as long as you get it. I love you, Xak, and This blanket I made is proof, please I hope you like it, and wear it, otherwise I’ll have to belt you for everyday you don’t. -Love Ophs.” Xak lowered his head clutching the note in his hand and the cloth in the other. “I’ll wear it every day for the rest of my life, Ophs, I’ll wear it for you, and when I find you, it’ll be the first thing you see…” Xak said as she wrapped the Cloth around his neck like a scarf, and pocketed the note as a memento. “I’ll find you, Ophs, I promise, I gave you my word. So please, believe in me.” Xak thought out loud, as he left his kingdom, and started on his Journey, but little did he know, this journey, was the beginning, of his destiny… (To be continued)
