A/N: This is my first DragonFable story, so please go easy on the reviews.
Disclaimer: I only own Dianna, Sariana, and Julio. Everything else belongs to AE.
A young girl, no older than sixteen ran through the trees, black hair cascading down her blue armor. A simple long sword was strapped to her waist. Panting, she came to a clearing, where she skidded to a stop. A body lay in the middle of the clearing, surrounded by a pool of blood. The body was female, no older than the girl who stopped, with pale skin, fiery red hair, with opened blue eyes. Her black leather armor was torn open on one side, revealing the source of the blood. The girl dropped to the ground, tears pouring from her grey eyes.
"Sariana" she whispered, stroking the dead girl's cheek.
Receiving no response, the brunette threw back her head, releasing a loud wail of pain. A figure stepped out of the shadows, dressed in navy blue armor with black trimming, faded brown hair falling into his green eyes, blood dripping from his sword.
The girl looked up at the figure, sadness replaced with horror at the bloodied sword.
"Julio… No…" she said, getting up, hand going to her sword hilt. Julio smiled evilly at her. "I'm sorry Dianna, but she was in the way of my mission, she knew too much, so she must die" he said coldly. "I can't believe I loved you" hissed Dianna, unsheathing her sword. "My dear Dianna, you seriously don't think you can kill me" said Julio. "I'm just as good of a warrior as you" she snarled, and lunged at him.
Julio blocked and twisted around, hitting Dianna in the face with his elbow, and kicking her feet out from under her. Dianna rolled away as his sword came crashing down on the space that had been occupied by her a few moments ago. Jumping to her feet, she prepared to stab at him when a voice barked out "Julio, stop!" Julio gazed past her and sheathed his sword, dropping to one knee. "My Lord" he murmured respectfully. Dianna whipped around, her gaze settling on the stranger. He was tall and thin, with a deep tan, black hair and eyes, with purple circles under his eyes,, wearing green armor and a purple cloak.
"Julio, leave the peasant girl here, we have important matters to attend to" he said. "Yes my lord" replied Julio, brushing past Dianna without a glance. "Wait! Who are you?" asked Dianna. The man smiled coldly. "I am Drakath, rightful ruler of this land, and the man who ordered for your friend's death" he said, before disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Coughing, Dianna realized Julio had disappeared.
Sitting on her heels besides her friend, she whispered hoarsely "I shall avenge your death Sariana, this I swear" she whispered, closing her friend's lifeless eyes.
Drakath and Julio. Two names, two murderers. "Drakath, wherever you go, wherever you hide, I shall find you, I shall find you and cause you pain, I shall make you feel my pain, the pain of losing my closest friend!" she yelled into the forest. The day after Sariana's funeral Captain Rolith discovered Dianna's room empty, clothes, armor, weapons, everything gone. A note was on the table.
I have gone to seek revenge on Sariana's killers, don't come looking for me, this is something I must do by myself. I'll probably be stopping by from time to time, though I won't stay long. Julio helped kill her Rolith, for that, he too must pay.
Please take care of yourself, since I won't be around to save your butt from monsters anymore.
Dianna
That would be the last Captain Rolith ever heard from Dianna for seven long years.
He worried everyday, but after a year, he learnt to push memories and thoughts of her into the back of his mind. Over those seven years, evil began to fill the kingdom. One day he received a message from the Priestess. It was simple, three words.
It is time.
He knew what she meant, and fear gripped his heart. Who would it be? One of his own Knights? Or a warrior, mage, or rouge? Who? He wouldn't get his answer for three long months, when a visitor appeared. Someone who they had thought was dead.
A/N: This just came to me while playing DragonFable. Should I continue it?
