Chapter 1:
The Beginning of the End
(There is a kingdom named “Celestic”, that kingdom was divided in 72 small territories and each territory was enough large for countries to fit in them. This kingdom is famous for its myths and beauty.)
[ In an unknown away from Celestic.]
The sky was red like blood with smoke rising from everywhere, the town was on fire, burnt by demons. A full army of demon was on hunt, for human blood, for above land. A
man wearing an armor said, “My lord, not a single soul is left alive in this town”, A man with black cloak and horns said “Huh. Not even one you say? You better keep those words of yours.”. The armored man said “I would never betray my words, my lord. Even if it means my death.”, the man with horn said, “Then let’s take a small walk, shall we?”, the armored man replied, “your wish is my order.”. The two-man walked around the burning town, at the corner of an ally there was a tiny, a very small opening between rocks, where a girl who is approximately 14 to 15 years old was hiding. The two-man saw the girl. The girl sniffing, crying, trying to stop making sound so that nobody hears her. The horned man kicked all the rock above her and said to the armored man “you aren’t going to throw your word away, are you?”. The armored man stood on his knees and offered his sword to the horned man and said, “I, a member of the dark amulet army, offer my soul and my sword to my lord, general arcane.”. “I respect your courage and willingness, but it makes me equally angry.” The horned man takes the sword and slashed his head apart his body. “Now for you, I must replace this man with you, by making you an equally powerful demon.”. The girl was so frightened that she couldn’t even scream. Arcane took some blood from his body and forcefully send it inside the girl’s body. Red thunder occurred from sky hitting the girl. Arcane said, “the ritual is complete.”. After the red thunder goes out there were horns and wings grew on the girl’s body, the girl also grew into a young lady. “I, Crista the new member of demonic army accepts to become the next general of the army and offer my soul to lord Arcane.” The lady said.

(A small town at inside edge of celestic. Elementia.)
[located along the side of a mountain]
[population: 50 thousand]
[In dream of a boy] (a child’s hand covered in blood. Unknown voice of something tells the child “you have to survive……survive in.”. child falling from a very high place into a portal.) [dream ended] The boy woke up, breathing heavily. A girl enters the room “oh. You already awake. What happened, you look pale.” Said the girl to the boy. The boy replied “no, it’s nothing.” The boy then continued “what’s with you it’s not regular for you to come and wake me up Creselia”. “it’s the priest. She sent me to wake you up, it’s the time of ritual.” The girl replied and further continued, “all the member of church which means even you have to come for the ritual, do you understand Alen.”. “huh. What’s with that? Okay I will arrive after I change.” Alen said to the girl. Alen then went to take a bath and after the bath he changed. He went out of the church building and went to the ritual location. The ritual location was on top of a small mountain cliff. Along the route Alen met a young boy. When Alen met the small boy, the boy rushed into alen and said with joy, “goooood morning! Alen.”, then he moved back and further asked, “where are you heading, Alen?”. Alen replied “good morning Zel.”, Alen further answered while pointing at the cliff “I am heading there for a ritual.”. Zel asked, “what ritual?”. Alen answered “it is a ritual in which we pray to god to maintain the barrier for the rest of the years for safety of the town.”. Zel asked, “why pray to god when you can save the town with your sword?”. Alen answered “I can save people, but I can’t save the whole town, now you understand”. “Nope it all got over my head” Zel replied with a smile. Alen smiled and walked towards the cliff.

Alen was walking on the road to top of the cliff, then out of no where a storm hit Alen. It was like the storm was pushing Alen to throw him over the cliff. Alen noticed that the storm was only pushing him nothing else was pushed. Alen tried to push back but he fell off the cliff.
Alen survived the fall, when Alen reach the bottom he saw a cave he thought that there could be a way to reach the top and decided to inspect.
Alen went in to search for an exist. While he was searching for an exit, he found a place which seemed suspicious, when Alen further explored the place he found a sword which seemed to be hanged like a pendulum but the only problem was that it was of size of a giant.
Alen sturdily approached the sword as he approached, he found a ravine in which the sword was hanged. He slowly moved forward to a narrow pathway to have a view of how deep the ravine was but the stone he stepped on didn’t want the same so he slipped and had a fall to check the depth of ravine with Alen. Alen tried to grab something to break the fall but the wall of ravine was dead flat, in hurry Alen pull his sword out of the scabbard and stabbed the wall but the speed was so high that the sword could only break the fall for few seconds and snapped. Alen fell on a plain rock but hit his head on a blunt rock and slowly consciousness.
[At the shrine at the top of the hill where Alen was headed]
“Crisalia where is that boy, isn’t he supposed to be here by now?” asked a woman in white cloak. “Priest I am unaware of his location, I informed him on time he should be here by now” Crisalia in a worried way. “we don’t have time to worry about him let’s start the ritual of the gods” Announced the priest. Ritual middle of ritual a man broke the ritual and started shouting in fear. “What’s with you we are in the middle of an important ritual don’t you know and what with the havoc do you…..?” the priest shouted on the man but he interrupted in fear “ priest please take a look at that first.”
The man pointed in air, it was like the space itself was distorted as there were cracks in air. Everyone silently watched while the priest shouted amidst the silent “Guards! Ring the bell! Run everyone the barrier is broken and Crisalia find Alen we need him the most right now, more than ever”. Everyone ran and Crisalia went in search of Alen while the priest stood there watched the world crack open. Arcane came out of the distorted space. “oh, what a warm welcome, who would have gone so far to prepare a whole town for a feast.”
The priest reached his hand out towards Arcane and started chanting “Oh, may the holy light guide you to heaven and god himself shall give you afterlife with the holy arrow I beseech you. Light Arrow!” as the priest chanted light gathered in his hand and took the shape of an arrow and was shot on Arcane. Arcane bent backwards and dodged the arrow. “Oh, what a lovely woman to start a feast, come forward my army of demons and feast on these humans” spoke Arcane. Cracks started appearing all over the sky above. All people in town stopped and watched in despair as the demon army come forward and then Arcane announced “We shall start our feast”.
