A Strange New Adventure.
The sky was dark, there was no colour to be seen only greys and blacks, it was another day in the kingdom of Meridian thanks to its evil ruler Prince Phobos but today wasn't a typical day, on the outskirts of Metamoor, Meridians capital, a large shaft of blue-white light descended from the sky, two young people were deposited at the lights location, one Male the other Female. The Boy wore a red vest and cream coloured trousers, his medium black hair blew in the wind and he clutched his Katana tighter, he stood up and looked around at the blackened landscape.
"Where are we?" he asked himself
He held out his hand and helped the girl to her feet, she wore a school uniform and had slightly shorter hair than the boy.
"What happened Van?" she asked
"I don't know Hitomi, the last thing I remember was being in Fanelia working on Escaflowne."
"I think my pendent reacted with Escaflowne again or maybe with something else but why send us here?" she held out a small pink pendent
"I think the more important question is where is here it certainly doesn't look like Gaea?"
Hitomi looked around and saw a city
"Maybe we can ask someone there." she pointed the city out to Van
"Its worth a try, lets go."
Van and Hitomi headed out towards the city.
Prince Phobos smiled to himself, his loyal servant lord Cedric stood behind him in his human form, Cedric's true form was that of a giant snake with a red mask.
"I can sense a new power in Meridian" Phobos said to Cedric "I want you to get it."
"Yessss Sssssire" he hissed "may I assssk what kind of power it isssss?"
"I don't know but I can sense its powerful, If I can get it it should increase my own power greatly. now go." he commanded
Cedric exited the room and summoned his troops, he then left to go to the town.
"Look for anyone or anything out of place" he ordered.
Van and Hitomi entered the large city, they looked around and saw creatures of different shapes and sizes, some had Green skin others had blue and some had brown.
"What kind of creatures are these?" asked Hitomi.
"I don't know." replied Van "Lets look around more and see what we can find out."
Van and Hitomi walked down one of the streets and past more of the creatures who all looked at them strangely, up ahead Van saw a group of the creatures pile into the street, they all carried weapons of some kind.
"That must be them!" grunted the lead creature "Tell Lord Cedric."
One of the creatures ran off while the others moved forward towards Van and Hitomi, Van unsheathed his sword and moved into a battle stance, the creatures halted then started to laugh then moved forward again.
"Get somewhere safe Hitomi."
Hitomi moved over to the side of the street and waited. The creatures got a few feet from Van then charged him, Van jumped to the side and slashed at a creature, he then slashed and sliced at the other members of the group. In moments All of them fell to the ground defeated but before Van could but his sword away another group came around the corner, this time being led by a large snake creature.
"Get him!" shouted Cedric.
Van once more moved into his battle stance as the army charged him.
