Chapter 1

In the midst of war between two countries, no one would expect to find love, especially on the battlefield. But two warriors would soon find each other and show everyone that war doesn't change how you fell about someone.

In the country of Aquaria, a red headed female warrior prepares for another day of war. The door to hor room opens to a purple haired woman.

"Lady Nel, we are ready to go to Airyglyph now, are you almost ready?"

"I will be there in a moment Farleen."

"Yes ma'am."

Nel and her subordinates were getting ready to go into enemy territory to see if they could find any new informaton on the Airyglyph army.She always had a hard time getting past the guards into the city, so she usually had to force her way into the royal city by knocking out the guards, not that she objected to that though.

Over in the neighboring city of Airglyph, the leader of the Black Brigade was a walk around town. Albel Nox, also known as "Albel the Wicked" for his expert swordsmanship, was the leader of one of three military forces for the kingdom of Airyglyph. He had black hair that went just above his shoulders and the ends of his hair was blond. His hair covered his crimson colored eyes. For clothes he wore a type of top the went above his bellybutton and he also wore a skirt with his sword tied to the side of it. On his left arm he wore a claw that covered his arm. After walking around town awhile he decided he would go and do some training on the Traum Mountains, which lead to the neighboring town of Kirlsa.

Back in Aquaria, Nel Zelpher was making he final preparations before leaving for the country of Airyglyph. Nel Zelpher was a member of the Aquarian runological unit and one of Aquaria's Crimson Blade warriors, warriors of Aquaria with amazing battle skills, along with her best friend Clair Lasbard. Nel had red hair the went down to her soldiers. She wore her leather armor and wore long boots that went up to the middle of her thighs. On the sides of her skirt she had her daggers tied. She was known to be reckless, putting her mission before her own life, this always worried Clair but nel believed her missions came first. Meeting with two of her subordinates, Tynave and Farleen, they went on their way to the enemy territory, the Royal Cith of Airyglyph.

In the Traum Mountains, Albel was finishing his battle, with a final slash using his Crimson Scourge sword, he won the battle.

"Bah, not a single enemy that is even close to my skill"

As he said that he saw a wagon coming toward him. As it passed by he looked at the back of the wagon as it went by and saw a red haired woman looking toward the front of the wagon so he couldn't see her face. He was stunned for a quick moment than came back to his senses.

"Why did that woman divert my attention?"

He waved off the thought and went back to training.

In Airyglyph, Nel, Tynave, and Farleen arrived.

"All right, I am going to walk around the town and see if I can learn anything on the Airyglyph army. You two sdould check the shops around town for new eapons and restock on items we used on the way here."

"Yes ma'am"

With that they went off in their different directions.Nel decided to stop by the tavern first, it was an Airyglyph soldier hangout often so she thought she might overhear one of their conversatons or trick them into giving her information. When she got there she saw some Black Brigade soldiers and went to sit at the table next to them. After a few minutes of useless conversation that had no info Nel needed, they started to talk about the war situation.

"I heard that Albel Nox got into a fight with the leader of the Dragon Brigade, Duke Vox."

"Over what, and what happened?"

"Not sure it is just a rumor, but i saw Albel in town a little while ago, so i guess nothing really happened."

" Well I heard Duke Vox wants to lead all the troops in an attack on Aquaria, starting with the town of Arias."

At this news Nel started to get worried, if they attacked Arias now, they wouldn't stand a chance and then the Airyglyph army would attch the royal city of Aquios where the queen was. Nel continued to listen to converstion.

"Why, why now?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it is because there is a rumore about a new weapon Aquaria is developing."

Nel was shocked that they learned of their new weapon. She decided to leave at that point to go find Tynave and Farleen. They needed to get back to the Royal City of Aquios and report the new information to the queen. They needed to finish their runological weapon, the Thunder Arrow, as soon as possible.

Albel Nox re-entered the city after his training in the Traum Mountains. He started walking back toward the castle when he saw a familiar red headed woman running toward him.

"That is the woman I saw in the wagon earlier, why is she drawing my attention again?"

As he was thinking this to himself, he saw the woman run past him and she met up with two other woman. After talking for a few minutes they got back in the wagon and left the city. As they were leaving the city, Albel saw the red haired woman's face. He looked at her and found he couldn't look away from the woman's face.

"Why couldn't I look away from her, could it be that I am attracted to that fool?"

He tried to get her off his mind but the more he tried the more he thought of her. He thought about her all the way back to the castle.
