Todd's mind wanders around the memories of the deployment to Iraq he just got back from, Todd and his roommate Devin Wolf still in their army digital camouflage uniforms as they lounge on Todd's living room couch starring at the T.V. both still suffering from a lack of sleep. The sound of his cell phone playing an Irish rock song jerks Todd out of his trance of staring mindlessly at the T.V. Todd looks down and picks up the Cell phone and chuckles to his self as he pushes a button and puts it up to his ear saying.

"This is….. I mean Hello"

" Hey Todd welcome back to the states man"

The voice on the other side a strong familiar voice of his old Friend Matt Meier, The images of his old friend rush through his mind, The short black haired strong framed male with dark eyes.

"Matty what's up man?"

"Yeah the old group is got back together and seeing as how you're here for a little while we want you to come."

Todd smiles thinking of the crazy and fun times the use to share together sitting around being loud and playing Dungeons and Dragons together in the library.

"Yeah ill be there hey Matty mind if I bring my buddy Devin here he came on leave with me ."

"Does he play DnD?" asks matt

"Would I bring someone who doesn't"

"Good point, see you soon we are already here"

Todd laughs as he hangs up and punches Devin in the Arm as he stands up saying,

"Dude we are going to meet up with some of my friends and play some DnD."

"eh"

Devin Replies as he stands up and follows Todd change out of there Army uniforms, Todd pulls off his jacket and tan t-shirt digging through a drawer pulling out a white tank top pulling it on he runs his fingers through his long military cut hair sighing, Devin laughs as he changes in to a pair of baggie black pants with chains hanging down and a black short sleeve t-shirt, together they walk to the door and kneel pulling on their dusty combat boots as they walk out the door. Todd pulls the Keys to his car out of his pocket as he pulls his ashen gray trench coat on. They drive down to the Local Sparks Library seeing a group of his friends standing outside talking as they pull in to a parking spot.

Todd gets out and waves at his Friends as he locks the doors to his car with the push of a button on his keys, Devin looks at Todd then to the group of friends asking

"is that them?"

Todd looks at Devin slightly puzzled,

"No im waving out of the kindness of my heart."

Devin laughs

"kindness… of YOUR heart HA ha ha ha"

Todd smiles and walks toward the group of people, the group turns to face the two soldiers walking up the library walkway.

"Hey guys this is Devin my roommate from Iraq, Devin that is Kris" pointing to a tall skinny long red haired guy with dark green eyes "That is Matt" pointing to a Shorter stout black haired male "this is Kyle" pointing to a male about Todd's height of 5"8' with black hair and a natural tan skin "this is Nate" pointing at a Tall large build male with blond hair and happy blue eyes " and last but not least this is Jack" pointing to a skinny dark brown hair guy also with a natural dark tan skin.

They all nod with a unanimous

"Hey Devin"

They all walk in side and walk to the old meeting spot with smiles and memories filling the air as they sit in the circle. Matt pulling out a stack of papers and a few books, Kris pulling more books out of their bags, Matt handing a already filled out paper to everyone

"I made a bunch of level one characters you just get what you get and no complaining now put your name on it and Kris will start up the setting"

Kris smiles and pulls out a strange glass ball setting it in the center of the circle. Nobody even questioning it because that's just how Kris is, Kris starts up with the set up of the campaign,

"Alright so we are starting in a war between a country which has taken over most of the world and they are fighting to take other the last free country we are a special squad of 7 an archer which is Kyle, a mage which is Nate, A Warrior which is Devin, A duel wielding ranger which is Jack, A barbarian which is as usual Matt, a Melee fighter Which Is Todd, and myself as a rogue."

As the word Rogue comes out of Kris's mouth the Glass ball starts emitting a bright silvery light. The light expanding and enveloping the group in the silvery light, they all feel the sensation of falling and the smell of books fades away to the smell of blood and fresh mountain air washes over them as the land in the middle of a massive mountain plain and two clashing armies one in strange black obsidian like armor the other in a steel plate looking armor. The groups around them stopping and starring at them the black armored soldiers stopping only for a moment then charging in fast swords raised. Todd looking up at this rolling to his knees and leaping punching one soldier hard in the obsidian helmet, the force of the hit creates a shock wave from the connecting point of Todd's fist and the helmet sending the soldier back knocking him in to three other soldiers. Kris looks at Todd in awe asking

"Whoa how did you do that?"

Todd stunned at the power of the hit looks back saying

" no idea I was gonna stun him with the punch and take his sword"

The rest of the obsidian soldiers shocked stepping back as Todd grabs the swords from the down soldiers and tosses them to Devin, Kris, and Matt
