Book Three: Fallen Grace – Prologue

An auburn haired girl ran down the streets of Vale. Even after the destruction of the original Vale, its inhabitants didn't change the name after it was destroyed and rebuilt. As she passed the gates, she noticed two figures coming towards the town. One was a boy. He had white hair, silver eyes, and wore a suit of copper coloured leather. The other, a girl, had blue hair, crimson eyes, and wore a light brown tunic. Both were horribly beaten and were barely standing. The auburn haired girl ran to get help.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Felix! Picard!" The red haired girl shouted out to a brown haired boy and an azure haired one. They both turned around.

"What is it Jenna?" Felix asked.

"I found two people outside of Vale, they're badly injured!"

"You two go ahead," Picard told Jenna and Felix. "I will get the others"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, at the Vale inn…

The two figures had passed out at the entrance to Vale. When they had awoken, they were lying on two separate beds. They noticed the people who were there, waiting for them to get up. Among Felix, Jenna and Picard were a red haired male, two blonds, one male and the other female, and another blue haired youth, this one a woman.

"So," The crimson eyed girl asked. "I take it you are the ones who brought us here?"

"Yes," Jenna answered. "We found you unconscious outside of Vale"

"Thanks" The silver haired boy said. "I am Cabal (pronounced Kay-ble), and my companion is Rea"

"I am Felix" Felix answered. "This is my sister Jenna, and these are my friends, Picard, Mia (The blue haired woman), Garet (the red haired boy), Ivan, and Sheba (To the two blonds). What happened to you?"

"We were attacked by two men" Rea said as she looked away in fear. "A Fire Adept and an Earth Adept. One wore a black robe and a brown hat. As for the other, he wore a suit of green leather and a brown cloak. Sure, we're Adepts too, but they overpowered us. They'll be here soon…"

"Don't worry." Picard told her. "We will defeat them if they come" The group started to leave Cabal and Rea. Cabal muttered something under his breath that only Rea heard.

"If? More like when…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two figures walked down the road towards Vale. One was a mage and had a staff with a strange demonic aura. Fortunately, it didn't affect him for some strange reason, possibly it was the ring on his finger, but that was not a certainty. He wore a black robe and a brown, wizard-like hat made of straw, and his blond hair was somewhat visible under the hat. The second man had two swords, messy brown hair, and wore a dark green suit of leather under a dark brown cloak. The duo proceeded wordlessly until the swordsman broke the silence.

"So Vihn, looks like they're trapped against a corner… in Vale"

"Don't worry Cole, soon we'll get those two once and for all."

"Are you sure? They are very manipulative… I hope that no one else gets involved."

"If they do, we might not have a choice."

"…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere, a man proceeded ghostlike to the same location. The figure wore a cloak, a mask, and carried a blade under the cloak. He had to get there in time to stop the sides from killing each other. He was closer than Cole and Vihn, but a horde of monsters suddenly cam out from the forests and surrounded him. Only one person came to mind…

"Alex…" The phantom muttered, full of hate, as it began to slaughter the monsters. Powerful as they were, they were merely a distraction to stop him from getting there on time. Suddenly, a large creature broke through the forest to join the other creatures. The large monster was on four legs, had three tusk-like appendages, as well as a light shade of green scales, and was huge. It was one of Alex's mighty Behemoths.

'Hmm… this could be a challenge' He thought, but brushed the thought aside. He needed to end this fight quickly. He raised his blade and began the fight again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Jenna, Felix and the others exited the inn, two more figures approached.

"They look like the ones Cabal and Rea told us about" Sheba said quietly. "What do we do Felix?"

"It's obvious isn't it?" Felix answered, "We have to fight"
