I know its a weird crossover. But hear me out!Feedback would be gratefully appreciated! I'd love to know what you guys think and If I should continue!

In ancient days, Deltora was divided into seven tribes. Each tribe had a gem, a talisman from deep within the earth with special powers. In time an evil rose from the Shadowlands and cast its greedy eye on Deltora. A hero rose from the ranks, a blacksmith who despite being an ordinary man knew he could save Deltora. He fashioned a belt to which the seven gems would fit and he made it his mission to persuade each tribe to allow their gem to be added. Desperate to save their lands the tribes gave up their treasure in hope that the hero would save them. When the belt was complete the hero clasped the belt around himself and it flashed like the sun. He drove the shadows from their land and he became the first king of the united tribes of Deltora.

The new king knew the source of his power was from the trust of his people and that though the enemy was defeated it was not destroyed. He wore the belt at all times ready if need be to once again protect the land of Deltora. When the first king died his heir continued with the tradition of wearing the belt at all times until eventually it was worn less and less, only to be worn for great occasions.

Rin was running down the streets of Del, quietly yet swiftly. He swore under his breath as he slipped, catching himself, pushing his fringe from his face. He was late, very late. He knew he had to hurry, his parents were wanting to speak with him about something, but any sound he made would betray him. It was forbidden to be out after sunset. That was The Rule.

After the Shadow Lord had invaded and took control after the Royal family had begun to decrease the amount of times the belt of Deltora was worn. Eventually over the years it was worn only for the heirs coronation then placed back into its golden case and stored in the tower especially build for the belt for years. Until one night seven monstrous birds called Ak-Ba's stole the gems and hid them across Deltora. The Shadow Lord brought a new era of fear and terror to the people of Deltora and many rumours were known concerning the current reigning king and queen. Many thought they had died, others thought they had escaped and were hiding like cowards.

Rin continued running down the street, skidding around the corner, wishing he had been more cautious of the time. Thoughts of what his mother and father would say ran through his head as he pressed himself against the wall as a Grey Guard marched past.

"You've got the afternoon off. It's your sixteenth birthday after all." Rin's father had taken the red haired boy by surprised. Rin never had a afternoon off. After he finished with his father in the smith he would be studying with his mother.

"Be back before sunset." His mother pecked his head. "Have fun with your friends."

Rin had ran out shouting his thanks to his parents as he past the old begga

r man, Sousuke. He found his friends at the market place and they spend the day exploring. His friends had gone home about an hour before sunset leaving Rin to explore the tunnels below Del. When he went as far as he dared he turned back and returned to the surface to find it was long after sundown.

Now Rin was breathing hard as he continued through the dark streets towards the forge. Rin suddenly skidded to a halt as two Grey Guards turned the corner heading towards them. Luckily they were deep in conversation and had yet to noticed the frozen red headed teen. Rin glanced beside him and leaned up against the wall, hiding in the shadows. He held his breath as the guards came closer. Rin desperately looked around for an escape, the guards were almost upon him. The guards snapped their heads behind them when they heard a clatter. To Rin's luck they moved away to investigate the noise. Rin was ready to run when something hit his shoulder. He glanced around and to his astonishment a rope was dangling in his face. Rin glanced up to find his escape. His grinned his sharp tooth smile and didn't stop until his reached the top. He didn't stop to think who would help him as he pulled up rope behind him. He rushed home, excuses at the ready as he sprinted past Sousuke who was heading to his shelter in the corner of the yard and he pushed the door open, hands on his knees panting, smiling to himself. Best birthday ever! Rin thought.

"Oh sweetie you're back!" Rin's mother came rushing forward, checking her son for injuries, before slapping him over the head. "I said before sunset."

Rin gave her a sheepish smile. "I lost track of time."

"Come on, your father is waiting to talk to you." She smiled warmly at him. She noticed the pout on his face and motioned him over. "You can eat while he speaks."

Rin's face lightened up at the mention of his dinner and followed his mother to where his father was sat, waiting patiently. His old, red eyes met with his sons and motioned with his eyes for his son to sit. Rin plopped himself opposite his father and eyed the food his mother put in front of him hungrily.

"Rin." His father spoke sternly. Rin turned his attention to his father as his chewed away, unaware of the biggest secret about to be unleashed.
