Chapter 1: The unveiling (Drew's Perspective)

You guys have that feeling too? Like when you just woke up from a dream? I don't know. It started while I was at my cousin's house, playing hide and seek like all of the good kids do. His name is Patrick, my brother is Kyle, and I am Drew. We were searching for our cousin; she was the best hider ever, when suddenly a light flashed. Again and again, like a camera lens.

I would say that I stood there for over an hour telling myself that this couldn't be happening. I couldn't believe it. But I knew there must have been a reason that we were brought here. So a journey ensued, one that would take us hundreds of miles to learn why we were here. Why would the need the help of 3 unimportant humans? The sight of the demolished town of Alphan-Se changed my mind entirely. Especially when we found out that the town had a generator fueled by the energy of a chaos emerald.
