Greetings, Lunars! Silver here, with a story! Let's begin!

Bold: Dragons, giants, things like that speaking.

Italics: Thoughts and flashbacks.

"Come on, Dad! Let me take a job!" Romeo pleaded with his father. "I'm old enough to do one!"

"I'm sorry, son. But Alzack and Bisca are taking care of Asuka, and everyone else is on a mission right now. It's not safe for you to go on a mission alone." Macao Conbolt replied.

"Not even this one?" Romeo asked, holding up a job request.

"Hmm. Looking for Ms. Marie's puppy... You might be able to do that."

"Awesome!" Romeo cheered.

"But! Be back by 4, okay Romeo?"

"Don't worry, Dad! I'll be back before then!"

Romeo searched all over town for the dog. Once he finally spotted it, however, it ran out into the forest! Chasing after it, Romeo stumbled into a circle of bandits. He put up a valiant fight, but was defeated.

"Hehehe. We got one, boss!"

"Good job. Let's get outta here before the kid's parents come looking."

"Yessir!"

Moving swiftly, they fled the scene, making it up to Mt. Hakobe within the hour. Suddenly, a vicious hailstorm started, and they heard a mysterious voice: "WHO DARES INTRUDE THE TERRITORY OF ALFIUS THE HARSH?" Trembling in fear, the leader said; "Ha! Who's really asking? Everyone knows that Giants don't exist!" An icicle spear suddenly pierced the leader in the stomach, and a huge form suddenly erupted out of the snow. "I AM ALFIUS THE HARSH! NOW DO YOU BELIEVE?!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" the bandits screamed, and dropping everything, fled.

"That showed them." Alfius grunted, satisfied. "Bet they'll never come within 50 miles of this place ever again." He then noticed something shivering in the snow. "Eh? What's this?" Picking Romeo up, he said "Hello, little one. What might your name be?" He received no reply. "Oh, am I scaring you? Hang on, youngling." Shrinking down to a size slightly taller than a grown man, he questioned: "Is this better?" Romeo nodded his head up and down. "Good. Now may I ask, what is your name?"

"R-romeo Conbolt, s-sir." Romeo said, his teeth chattering.

"I'm Alfius. It's nice to meet you, Romeo. What business have you here?"

"T-those people b-brought me here, sir." Romeo replied. Upon hearing that, a thought suddenly flashed through Alfius' head.

"Tell me Romeo, would you be interested in learning magic?"

Okay! That's it for the prologue! I'm sorry for such a short chapter. If anyone has any questions on this story, please ask! I'll try to answer them! Constructive criticism is very welcome! I'll also be posting this story on , as Giants of Magic, so be sure to check it out! That's all I have for now, so bye!
