Prologue

                Looking back about two years ago you would never think I would be who I am now. I was really little and never could take anyone on. That’s all changed now. It’s my final year of high school and I look good. With everything that has happened to me, I set my mind to gaining some muscle and being someone better. I accomplished that,(It wasn’t an easy task). I’m so lost and confused now. My life has spun out of control and I got thrown into something weird. I just want to find my way back home. This is what happened to me and why I want to go back home.

                It was the first day of my last school year. I walked into the high school and no one was there. Then I walked toward my locker thinking I was early. I got to my locker and opened it. I was then knocked over the head. When I woke up there was this really bright light.

???: Chase are you awake?

Chase: Umm… Yeah I’m awake. Can you turn the lights down cuz it hurts my eyes?

???: It’s your brain, you can turn them down if you want.

Chase: Really?

???: Yes, really. Anyway, you need to know that in four days, events are going to happen and you’re going to be thrown into them. You need to have a friend you can rely on to send things like journals and such to them. You don’t have much time to explain. *Throws Chase a sword.* Get used to using it, because you’re going to need it.

Chase: Umm… Yeah sure okay, who are you?

???: Believe me you’ll regret it if you don’t heed my words. And you’ll find out soon enough who I am.

 

                I was then knocked out again and when I woke up, I was in my bedroom. At first I thought it was all just a dream but when I got up out of the bed the sword fell to the ground. I put it underneath my bed and went to school. This time everyone was there.

 

Nicole: Hey Chase! It’s our last year!

Chase: …

Nicole: Hey?! Chase you okay?

Chase: …

Nicole: *Pushes Chase against his locker.* Chase seriously what’s going on with you?

Chase: *Tells her about the dream and the sword.* So, I don’t know what to do.

Nicole: I had a very similar dream.

Chase: Really?

Nicole: Yeah, but I was told that you would need a friend to be with you, someone you could count on when things got tough. I just thought it was senior nerves and I was wishing to see you.

Chase: You saw me the whole summer. Geez, it’s not like we’re dating or anything. You’re one of my best friends.

Nicole: Yeah… I know that. *She sounds just a little bit hurt.* Hey, let’s not worry about this too much and just go to class. Okay?

Chase: Yeah, let’s go to class. *Thinking in the back of his head.* Why can’t I just tell her I want to be more than just friends. *Shuts his locker and goes to class.*

 

                The next three days pass just fine. The day things get just a little bit weird.

 

Chase: *walks over to Nicole’s house.* Hey you ready for school?

Nicole: Hey Chase… We got to talk.

Chase: *Scared look* What?

Nicole: This, *pulls a sword out from under her bed* it appeared here last night and this morning it was shinning. Did you look at yours?

Chase: No, you said to just forget about it.

Nicole: *Takes sword and grabs Chase’s arm* *Pulls Chase out of the room*

Chase: Where are we going?

Nicole: To your house, where else? *Both go into Chase’s house, up the stairs and into his room.* Grab your sword!

Chase: Fine! *Takes sword out* Whoa! It feels so warm in my hand. *Walks toward Nicole*

*The swords start to glow and begin to move toward each other.* Okay, now this is really weird and kinda cool at the same time.

Nicole: Yeah it is.

???: Chase I hope you trained.

Chase: *Jumps* How did you get in my room, more importantly HOW DID YOU GET IN MY ROOM!?

???: That has no importance right now. What matters is that you and Nicole defend and protect your world.

Nicole: Your voice sounds so familiar but I don’t know where I’ve heard it before.

???: *Nervous voice* All will become apparent at a later time.

Chase: So, what exactly are we supposed to do? Because I’m lost and confused. And you could be of some help you know.

???: *Throws you a map* Just follow this and it will take you where you need to go.

Chase: What happens if I don’t want to follow it?

???: The sword within your hand is glowing and feels warm to the touch right?

Chase: Yeah, so what?

???: Nicole try to touch the sword.

Nicole: Okay…? *Touches the sword* *Pulls hand back quickly* It’s cold, really cold.

???: The same would happen if Chase were to touch your sword. They have chosen you two for a reason. There are other people who have been chosen. To find them, follow the map. Oh and one other thing, Chase the sword you have allows you to grow more powerful with physical attacks.  Nicole yours allows you to use magic .Learn new spells and use them to the best of your ability. You both can use each other’s swords, but the same skills will be different. For instance, Nicole you have basic magic right now, (Fire, blizzard, lighting, and water). If Chase were to cast fire it wouldn’t be as strong as yours is.

Chase: Okay, we get it, can we just go?

???: Fine, but be prepared to fight.

Nicole: Alright let’s go, I have the map.

Chase: *Walks out of the house followed by Nicole.* Are you sure you’re up to this?

Nicole: Yes I am, so let’s go.

Chase: Okay, I was just making sure.

Nicole: Just shut up and follow the map. *They follow the map to a wooded area.*

Chase: Are you sure this is where we’re supposed to be?

*A boy and girl come out of the bushes.*

Boy: Hi, my name is Josh and this is Sara.

Chase: Okay, hi… I’m Chase and *Nods head towards to Nicole.* Nicole.

Josh: So far we’re the only ones who have showed up. And we can’t wait much longer.

Chase: Honestly, what is going on?

???: I’ve already explained this to you. And now you four will begin a journey to protect everything you know.

Chase: But WHY!?!?

Josh: Just relax; this is what needs to be done.

Nicole: Why don’t you show yourself?

???: Because it is of no importance right now. Just begin your journey. Josh knows where you are supposed to be going.

Chase: So he’s the leader?

???: Yes, and you may meet others along the way. Take them with you.

Chase: Yeah sure whatever.

Josh: Let’s go this way. *Walks off.*

*Everyone follows him.*
