Chapter 1

Chapter One

      It was a day like no other in the Kingdom of Gondia. The sun was shining brightly and the weather was pleasant. Children were outside playing in the streets and gardens. One of the children tripped over something while running behind his friends. He got up and looked down, eyes wide with awe. There lay a beautiful red diamond. He picked it up and hide it in his trousers, and continued running.

       "Mister Dalven! Mister Dalven!" a small voice shouted behind him. The old man turned around and saw a small child running towards him. "That would be me. How may I help you?" He asked, kneeling down to the boy's height. "I found this and I thought it might be yours since you are the only one who does much traveling around here" The boy answered in one big breath, handing Dalven a bright red diamond. "I have never seen it before, my boy. Go look around for its owner"

"It might belong to one of the merchants that come for out yonder. I think you should keep it until they return" and with that, the boy ran back to his friends, who were eyeing him suspiciously. Dalven looked once more at the diamond and walked back to his little cottage. "Kolthia" he touched the door and it burst open. He walked in and found a box to put the diamond in. He put it inside the box and muttered "Mongia". The box closed with a slam and when he tried to open it again, it was impossible. With that done, he left his cottage to walk outside.

The power of black text able to find a majestic "Red Diamond" within. Mister Dalven seems to be one of the base for this mystery.... eager what happens next

The pacing of this section is pretty fast, I was wondering if that was intentional? But it is really good so far!
