The Cra Kingdom was functioning as a kingdom should. The citizens were all going through their normal routines and the warriors all watched over them and guarded the kingdom. In the castle, two Cra guards were standing outside of a door, conversing with one another.
"Do you think that the boy is ready?" asked the male guard.
"I don't know. That kid has been through a lot," said the female guard. "Losing his mother, half his sight, then he's forced to do this."
"Do not forget that he's doing this for the safety of the Cra Kingdom. He only has two hours left of mental training. Then he will have to prove his worth."
"And if he's not ready?"
"Then he won't survive. Simple as that."
"Hmm, very well then. I suppose we just wait another two hours then."
Inside the room they were guarding, a young Cra teenager was meditating. He had been meditating consecutively for about two years now, feeding on the Wakfu of nearby wildlife for survival. In his meditation he pictures himself sailing in a small boat, in the middle of an endless ocean exploring the World of Twelve. In this vast ocean, he is currently fishing. He felt a small tug on the fishing rod and began to reel it in. Suddenly, that small tug grew and began pulling the boat in whatever direction it wanted. A massive storm began to brew and lightning nearly hit his boat. As the teenage boy began attempting to turn the sails, he noticed that they were advancing towards a whirlpool. He heard a loud noise and looked up to find that his sail was on fire. He had no hope of escaping whirlpool. As the boat spiraled downward into the whirlpool, he looked into the void that was the whirlpool. He expected to see nothing more than a pitch black void that he'd eventually get sucked into. He widened his eyes at what he saw. He saw a tall, weird looking Dragon holding a Iop by the neck and dropping him to his death. He then saw a younger Iop jump and fall after the older Iop. He then saw two Cra. One of them was small male Cra, and the other was an older, pregnant Cra. The pregnant Cra seemed familiar. As he was being sucked into the whirlpool, he heard the pregnant Cra scream a name.
"DALLY!"
The Cra teenager awoke with a start and landed on the ground back first. He groaned in pain before getting on weak feet. He took a knee and waited for his legs to gain strength. He finally got back on his two feet and looked around. The interior of the room was pure white. It was hard to tell where the door was. He looked around and noticed a table full of weapons on it. He walked up to it and found a note. He picked up the note and read it allowed.
"Do not read this until you've finished your mental training," he read. "Well, too late for that."
He continued to read the note.
"Young Cra, these weapons have been selected by your superiors to be your weapons of choice. You can have all of them, or one of them. It is your decision."
He tossed the note and began examining the weapons. One of them was a large Axe. The blade was razor sharp and it had an incantation engraved on the edge of the blade. He equipped the axe and moved on to the next weapon. It was a large bracelet that doubled as a crossbow. There were no arrows, but that would never be a problem for the lad. He equipped the crossbow, then looked at the next weapon. It was a sword. The blade was razor sharp. He picked up the sword and a red aura enveloped the sword and his hand. The aura disappeared and the sword's blade now had the name of the Cra boy on it: Horizontorus. Horizon equipped the sword and looked at the final weapon. It seemed like another long bracelet, only this one doubled as a shield. He put on the bracelet.
"I like all of them these," he said. "But I'd still prefer my bow."
Horizon examined the weapons and looked at his hands. His right hand seemed completely normal, although it was hard to tell. He was completely blind in his right eye. He then looked at the palm of his left hand. It seemed normal. He turned to look at the back of his hand. As soon as he got a good look, he widened his eyes and stepped back, clutching his heart. On the back of his right hand, was a mark. A bow and arrow. This frightened Horizon because it never became visible unless his best friend is in danger.
Horizon widened his eyes in realization. He now understood why that pregnant Cra from his visions looked familiar. He knew her. The female pregnant Cra was none other than...
"Evangelyne," he muttered. He knew he had to get out of here quickly. But, first he'd find his bow, which was a gift to him from Eva. He stood in front of the barely distinct door, and prepared to break it down.
(CLIFFHANGER!)
