Chapter 1
It was a peaceful, warm, spring day when Yuri and his gang of seven (including the two dogs Repede and Reins) stumbled upon the small town of Lhant. The town's people roamed around the town not paying a single attention. "So Captain Karol, where have you misled us now?" Yuri asked looking at the short 13 year old Karol who led the guild, Brave Vesperia to a town they've never seen. "Uh, I don't know I was following Yuri," Karol said. The brilliant mage, Rita, went up to Karol and smacked him on the head. "We were following you, idiot!" she yelled. "OW! You suck Rita!" Karol yelled back. "Whoa kids, settle down," Yuri said. "I am not a kid!" Rita said. "Everyone please calm down. We're attracting too much attention," Princess Estellise said looking at all the staring eyes. The gang decided to leave the town, which out even attempting to learn where they are. Suddenly, a tap came across Yuri's shoulder and a creepy voice said, "Hi there." Due to Yuri's reflexes and instincts, he quickly turned around, hitting the man in the throat, knocking him out on the floor. The town's people saw what happened and thought Yuri was a threat and quickly went to go get Asbel Lhant, the lord of the town.
At the time Asbel was in the study of the manor having a meeting with King Richard, Malik, Hubert, and Pascal. "That's a great idea Pascal. Get working on that as soon as possible," Asbel said. Just then, one of the guards came in with news. "Lord Asbel, a shady man and his gang hurt Old man David at the entrance of Lhant," the guard said. "What? We have to go see what happened," Asbel said. He got up from his desk and exited the study with his group following him. Cheria was just heading up stairs to check up on Sophie when she saw them all leave. "What's going on Asbel?" she asked. "Old man David got totally beat by this shady guy!" Pascal exclaimed. "What?!" Cheria yelled. She told Sophie to come down and followed Asbel's group out the manor.
A group formed at the entrance of Lhant with all eyes on Yuri. Asbel and his group pushed past, wondering what happened. "What's going on here? Who are you?" Asbel asked Yuri. "Guess that's our cue to leave," Yuri said and started running off with his gang. "Stop! Come back here!" Asbel said almost pulling out his sword. Yuri ran without knowing where he was going. Let's just say bad luck just loves Yuri. They turned right and went up a hill passing a sign that they didn't bother reading. The next thing they know, they are stopped at a cliff looking out on to the ocean. It was a beautiful meadow covered with all sorts of flowers and a gigantic tree that was on a piece of land handing over the cliff. Yuri and his gang stopped trying to find a different route. But Asbel and his group had already caught up with them. "End of the line. Who are you?" Asbel said pulling his sword out and aiming the point at Yuri. Out of nowhere a fire ball hits Asbel sending him a few feet back. All eyes turned to Rita. Cheria went to go help Asbel while the others glared at Rita. Suddenly, Pascal uses her arte Bloodflamme and it went right past Rita and accidently hits Raven. "Ow! That's hurts!" he yelled getting his bow ready. And that's what started the fight between Vesperia and Graces. It was Asbel versus Yuri. Asbel got up right after Cheria quickly healed him. He grabbed his sword that fell out of his hand and ran after Yuri. "Phantom Pulse!" Asbel said casting the arte. Yuri held his sword to block it, but that didn't stop the impact from pushing him back. "Destruction Field!" Yuri said and hit the ground with his sword. Asbel quickly jumped back. At this point both men knew that this was going to be a hard battle. Which they both knew one way to end this. Yes. The good and powerful Mystic Artes.
Susan Lhant ran toward Lhant where the crowd was at the entrance. She had heard about an incident involving Asbel, her twin brother. She approach Lhant and started asking a few people what had happened. "Old man David got beat by this shady man," one person said. "Asbel, Cheria, Sophie, and the others chased them off to Lhant hill," another person said. "Wait, who's this shady guy?" Susan asked. No one knew a single thing about the shady guy nor anyone in his group. Without another choice, Susan ran off to Lhant Hill. She was just passing the sign when a sudden explosion came from the hill sending Susan back against the rock. She shook off the pain and hurried up the hill. Up on the hill, she froze when she saw everyone laying on the ground unconscious all over the place. She first hurried over to Asbel. "Asbel!" she yelled trying to get him up. She didn't hear anything so, by the looks of her surroundings, she decided to use her healing mystic artes. "Help me heal my friends…Healing burst," she said at her full power. A bright white light spread across in a one hundred yard radius. It healed everyone and everything within the radius (even Old man David). Soon Lhant Hill was back to its beautiful glory and everyone was getting up. Susan lended Asbel a hand and helped him up. Yuri dusted himself off and looked at Susan. Everyone in Yuri's gang followed him toward Susan. Asbel's group walked over to Asbel. Both teams stared at each other like they were going to start another fight. Then all glances went toward Susan. "Well, looks like you've got some explaining to do," Yuri said. Susan shrugged and decided it was finally time to tell everyone the truth. "I was born here on Ephinea and grew up here till I was 17. I've been living in Lhant with my twin brother Asbel which concludes that my last name is Lhant. For a couple of months I left Ephinea and went to Terca Lumieres for a year. A lot of things happened, like I teamed up with Yuri and his gang to fight the former commandant of the imperial knights. Then we had to save Estelle from this whole incident, fight the final battle against this weird guy named Duke, and after all that we still had to deal with the Adephagos," Susan explained. After the non-detailed explanation, Asbel and his group definitely had questions. So Susan took the moment to answer and explain more about her past. Once Asbel's group was cleared up, it was time for Susan to tell Yuri's gang about her time in Ephinea. "So after I left Terca Lumieres, I went back to the knight academy in the capital city of Windor, Barona. That's when Asbel and I went on our first field mission with Malik," Susan explained. She explained everything that happened when she was in Ephinea, including the incidents with Lambda and Fodra. Yuri's gang seemed to understand a little bit, but still had a few questions here and there. "Okay, now that that's cleared up. Why don't you introduce yourselves to each other," Susan said. Asbel's gang and Yuri's gang exchanged glances. "Hi I'm Estellise, nice to meet you," Estelle was the first to say. "Cheria Barnes, please to meet you," Cheria said. "Rita Mordio," Rita said not looking so pleased. "I'm Pascal!" Pascal exclaimed putting her hands up in the air excited. "You can just me Raven," Raven said. "Malik Caesar," Malik said. "I'm Karol," Karol said. "King Richard or Richard," Richard said. "Judith, nice to meetcha," Judith said. "I'm Asbel and this is Sophie," Asbel said showing Sophie who hid behind him. "Yuri, and this is Repede and this is Susan's dog Reins," Yuri said. Both dogs gave a friendly bark. Susan clapped her hands together and said, "Okay, how about we go back to the manor?"
