First fanfiction I've written in so long. Thinking about deleting my old ones since they suck so badly and it's not like I'm going to finish them. But I felt like I needed to make this one. It's been on the tip of my tongue for days now and I just had to write it down. I've been playing Guild Wars a lot recently. My favorite one is the Prophecies, "first one." I've never gotten into the other ones. But I've had an idea for a story for a long time now and here it is. A short summery is in the next bolded paragraph but if you want to be surprised then skip it. It's not going to give away a lot.

So my character is named Roy, (who is from Ascalon) and after 2 years of Ascalon being at war with the Char, he is finally returning for an invitation to fight in the Arena. The Arena is made up of 16 heroes from different parts of Tiria and two of them are from Cantha. But the idea is to find out the champion whether it's the people of Lions Arch, Kryta, Yak's Bend, the Wilds… You get the picture. But in the story, you will see the hidden pasts of the main character Roy as well as some other participants. I don't plan on having this story short because I have a lot to fit in and the Arena only lasts five days. Though I hope that somehow I can fit everything I need into it.

By the way I'm going into my freshmen year so I may not be as good as some other authors on Fanfiction. I will try my best to fix my grammar and spelling mistakes I make. Looking back at the stories I wrote in seventh grade, I do hope that I've improved.

R&R Plz!

Ch 1

Introduction

I looked around to see if I could find Orion anywhere. I was meaning to talk to him before I left to Ascalon about some business I forgot to attend to. Orion was a dear friend of mine and we made it out of some life threatening situations together. He was the first one to join my party. It would be quite pleasing to have him come, but I understood he needed to help fight off the char forces in Diessa Lowlands.

At least I wasn't going completely alone. Mox was coming with me. I met him along time ago right outside Lions Arch. He was scouting for any undead. Mox is a robot created by a brilliant man. I don't remember his name but he isn't all that tall. Sort of like a hobbit. I met the guy a long time ago when I accidentally fell into his secret lair. Don't blame me no one told me it was at the bottom of the falls. But I was walking all day and felt like I could go for a swim...

Anyway the Arena is in three days and I feel like I was totally prepared. I've been to Cantha recently talking to some old dude and he was teaching me some awesome fire moves. I'm a fire mage you see so all my spells are basically just fire. I do know some water magic too bur the only time you could use water magic is when water is available to you. But it's not like there is a pond or stream in every corner of Tiria. Fire is a lot easier to create and doesn't take that much energy. I hoped that my magic was enough for the Arena. The best fighters known were going to be there and I needed to beat all of them! That's a lot of work for someone only nineteen.

One last thing about the arena, I had to remember that I wouldn't have Alesia there to heal me every time I get a wound. She's my healer and a good friend of mine too. She was the third one to join my party. Luckily she was going to be in the stands watching me while I was in the arena fighting. That's good because I wound have another human friend with me so I wouldn't be stuck talking to a robot the whole time.

My party of 3 was ready to take off for Ascalon. Since Orion was no where in sight, I would just have to send him a letter after the games.

Alesia was beside me ready when I was. I don't know what I was waiting for. I just felt like I had to wait for somebody. I didn't want to leave the Academy just yet. I wanted to have a word with Ken before I left. An old friend of mine I saw last I was here back when we were still trying to retrieve the horn. I met him and he gave me some advice I would never forget.

I started asking around for him and just my luck, he was in Yaks Bend on a business trip. I sighed and headed out for Ascalon. Though before I walked out the gates, a man ran after me yelling, "Wait!"

A tall man in black cloths and a hood ran up to me and put his hand on my soldier out of breath. His face was pale and eyes wide open.

"Please help me Roy, you must. It's my daughter you see… She's going to get killed!"

"Please sir relax. Where is your daughter and what kind of trouble is she in? Did she venture outside of the walls?" I asked. The man took a long time to respond. He was in a state of complete panic.

"No you see my daughter is named Elizabeth and she died about seven years ago…"

"Wait… She died seven years ago?" Alesia asked.

"Yes and her ashes… She died in a fire and her ashes are still in our old house right outside of Ascalon. Please bring her back to me safety."

I scratched my head long and hard. Though seeing his sadness and content, I decided to save him an hour of crying.

"Don't worry, once I get to Ascalon I will get her ashes and bury them in a nice cozy graveyard. Your daughter will finally be able to rest in peace. Would you like that?" I asked. The man fell to his knees and bowed his head.

"Yes! Than you so much hero! You are as pure as the gods themselves. I wish you well on your travel to Ascalon. You truly deserve to win the Arena."

I quickly walked away in fear that he would start kissing my shoes. I didn't need all of that stupid stuff. But that's how life is when your famous like me. These people start relying on you to do stupid stuff like this and I'm just too nice to tell them no. Most of the people in Ascalon are to broken to realize my greatness and fame sot hey usually don't care as much. That was why the sooner we left the better.

I found Mox standing next to a pile of books and dragged him with me. The trip to Ascalon would take about four hours and I was hoping he could carry me most of the way. He's not much on conversation though. Robots don't talk much like humans. Their more like the quiet strong type.

Slow beginning I know. Sorry guys just wanted to introduce some people and tell you more about the games.
