Chapter 1
Long ago in the ancient city of Central Urban there resided eight brave knights. They were close. Some were family, some were friends, but they all had the same purpose: To serve King Jeroboam and to protect their city. That is, until one fateful day.
Present day : ¨Hey guys! Guys wait up. PLEASE wait.¨ John called out. Randy turned his head to look back. ¨What do you want John?¨ John caught up and stopped. He let out a sigh before lifting his gaze to meet Randy's. ¨O k, so you know how the wizards of Jeroboam got their powers, right?" "Yeah, they went to the ancient seal of power at the end of the city. They then recited the ancient incantation. Why?¨ Randy gave John a questioning look. ¨Well what if we went to the seal and broke it? Then we would be the strongest people in the kingdom!¨
An alarmed look spread across Randy's face. "WHAT?! Only people worthy of power can go to the seal to learn magic! And on top of that you want to go BREAK the seal. The magic energy could possibly tear us apart! On top of that-" "Look, Randy, I know this sounds bad, but-" John was interrupted by Randy's angry shouting. "SOUNDS, John! This IS BAD.
We could be killed or banished, and on top of that are we even worthy of magic?" John let out a sigh. "Randy please just get the others and meet me at the city gates", he pleaded. Randy scowls in a way that if looks could kill John would have been dead 5 times over. "Fine, but if this goes south you are a dead man." Randy growls as he turns to get the other knights.
Randy walks over to the castle and the guards lifted their spears with a grunt. Rand nods to them regally and walks down to the barracks where the rest of the knight were being housed. "Hey guys, I just talked to John and-"
"UGH" Candy got up from her bunk and walked towards Randy with an disgusted air. "What did he say this time? What was his crazy scheme for power now?" She questioned, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Get the wizards of Jeroboam to cast a spell on us? A healthy diet and workout regimen? Oh! How about-" She huffed, her eyes rolling in annoyance before Randy interrupted her. "John wants us to break The Seal of Magic." He said finally. They all turned to stare at him blankly. "Repeat that last part please." Candy said quietly, a look of horror spreading across her face. Randy repeated himself and told them that John wanted to go to The Seal of power and break it.
"Of all the stupid things Johnny has done he has never gone this far..." Sally, John's younger sister, says as her soft china blue eyes fill with tears. "Sally I know this sounds bad but John will come to his senses sooner or later. He has to." Randy says, trying to reason with her. "I mean, come on there is no way that John would really be able to break The Seal. So I say that we get ready and we go meet him. We let him tire himself out and let him realize he can't do it. Are we all in agreement?" Everyone nodded their heads solemnly.
