Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The sunrise over Kravero could most likely be counted as one of the wonders of the world. It was such an astonishing sight that almost no human being would ever want to miss. It was quite a disappointment that Draven would miss it every morning until woken by his pepreka. Draven is what we call a fatollo. They are special warriors that are usually both wealthy and powerful. With money, you can buy all sorts of potions, ranging from strength, intelligence, speed, and all other powers of the human body. Fatollos are mainly humans with some other races. Draven just so happens to be ranked number 2. “Good morning Drae-Drae! Breakfast is ready for you downstairs.” Draven’s pepreka came in to wake him. Peprekas are human like dogs, carrying more dog traits than human traits. Draven woke up, rubbing his eyes and groaning. “How many times have I told you to stop calling me that, Aza?” he remarked. Aza smiled. “Too much to count. Not like I care of course.” she replied, prancing back out into the hallway. Draven got dressed and started walking downstairs. Aza met him in the hallway and followed after him. “Oh, I forgot to mention that you have a visitor.” she said. Draven looked over. “Really? Who would want to visit me so early?” he wondered. He continued down the stairs. “Lucy. I don’t know why she would come by but, that doesn’t matter. I know you guys get along well.” Draven stopped walking. Lucy!? Didn’t she… No, I’m sure of it. Aza looked worried. “Drae-Drae, is everything alright?” Draven looked over. What should I say to her? She doesn’t know that Lucy died. “Oh, uh, nothing.” he responded, continuing to go down the stairs. Aza’s mind became fogged with ideas. Oh no, have I done something wrong? Maybe Draven doesn’t like Lucy afterall. She pondered. Draven was prepared for the worst. Could it be more assassins sent by Battery? No, Aza saw Lucy. It might’ve been a misunderstanding. Maybe Aza got another friend of his mixed up. Whatever it was, Draven made sure that it wouldn’t get Aza hurt again. Battery was the number 1 ranked fatollo. Each fatollo had special abilities called muzzle abilities. Draven had the ability to summon any weapon ever made. This could be a normal sword to a warhammer with poison vials strapped to each side. Battery’s ability was the complete manipulation of the body of a living being. This meant that he could force someone’s windpipe shut, break their arm, or even control their mind. Battery used his power to conquer the world, and to make sure no one opposed him. Draven made his way downstairs and into the kitchen. There, he finally saw who intruded his home. And, in fact, it was Lucy, sitting at the table waiting for him. Nothing seemed to be different from her. Draven examined Lucy, making sure that it was actually her. She still had black hair. She still wore the same blue sweatshirt with jeans. It was her eyes that were different. They were blue instead of brown. Could this be a spy sent by Battery? Whoever it is, I can’t attack them now, since that might put Aza in danger. I’ll wait it out to see what they’re up to. Draven thought to himself. He took a seat at the head of the table and Aza went to get the food. “Hey there Draven. What’s new around the block?” Lucy asked. “Nothing new, what’s up with you?” Draven replied. Lucy looked up at the ceiling. “Oh you know, I’ve just been watching the new movies that have come out. Y’know, me and you should go and see one sometime. I’ll pay.” Draven tried to keep contempt. She’s flirting with me. This can’t be real. He shook his head. “Oh no thank you. I’ve been busy with all the quests recently.” he replied. Lucy rolled her eyes, standing up from her chair and walking over to Draven. She took a seat and pulled it up next to him. “Man, that really is a bummer. But you know what? I bet that me and you could make really good quest partners.” Draven was starting to get red. I can’t believe this. This has to be some joke. “No really, I’m fine with my work. It can be fun at times.” Aza came back into the room with a large tray with meat and fruit. “You two enjoy, I’ll be in my room if you need anything.” she said, walking up the stairs. Draven had completely lost his appetite. About 10 minutes went by with silence before Lucy decided to leave. Footsteps came down the stairs. Draven followed Lucy to the door. “Well Draven, it was fun talking to you.” she said. Lucy leaned in and kissed Draven. What!? NO! This isn’t funny. This has to be a spy from Battery. Lucy pulled away. “I’ll catch you around Draven.” she said, walking out the door. Draven quickly shut the door before turning around. “Oh, Aza. The food was great.” he said. Aza knew he was lying. It hadn’t been touched. Draven was steaming with hatred. He needed to take it out somewhere, so he decided to go questing. He opened the door. “Wait, where are you going?” Aza asked. “I’m going to do a quest.” Draven replied. Aza shook her head. “Without your equipment? You have healing ointment and bandages in there. If you get injured, you aren’t getting dinner.” she said jokingly. Draven proceeded through the door. “Trust me, I won’t.” he closed the door. Aza’s happy smile turned to anguish. She took a deep sigh. I didn’t know that Drae-Drae was dating Lucy.
