Chapter one

Prologue

A red haired young man walked down the main road of his new hometown Alvarna after a long hard day on his farm. He couldn't remember his old hometown; in fact he couldn't remember much at all before he had wandered into town.

It wasn't that bad though. Mana (the girl that found him) adored him ,and her father gave him a house and a piece of land to farm on. Plus he had got to swim and fish all he wanted, being that Alvarna is a port town.

Half of the eligible bachelorettes in town also liked him, though he couldn't blame them seeing as the girls outnumbered the guys by more than two to one. He was pondering why this was when he heard laughing as he passed the clinic. He was about to dismiss it then he heard more laughing, since he had nothing better to do for awhile he decided to check it out.

Once inside the clinic he could make out what the town doctor Natalie was saying.

"...and then Buffus he…" she was laughing too hard to finish.

"It wasn't that funny." said a man.

"Yes it was Douglas." said another man who was also laughing. Kyle recognized that voice to be the town priest Gordon. Kyle turned the corner and seen the three together.

"Ah Kyle what brings you here?" Asked the taller of the two men.

"Uhh…I heard all the laughing and I thought I would join in with ya Gordon" Kyle said than added "Hello Douglas. Natalie. Is today a festival I don't know about?" The three often drank together in the clinic on festivals.

"Kinda, we're celebrating having been friends for so long and reminiscing on old times" answered Natalie.

"Would you like to join us?" Asked Gordon.

Kyle found it hard to refuse the priest anything. With a large scar over his closed right eye and then his sheer size to boot he could easily intimidate someone, though the man was truly kindhearted and a pacifist, at least nowadays.

After Kyle sat down Douglas offered him a drink. Kyle really didn't want one, but Douglas (Mana's dad) could also be intimidating with his large muscular build and bushy mustache. That said, Kyle had seen the man turn to butter for his daughter many times. Kyle still ended up nodding his head and accepting a drink made by Natalie, which he found hard to swallow.

"Let's tell him about when we first met" Douglas said.

"Ya, you tell it Gordon you tell the best stories" Natalie piped in.

"Well, I am well practiced at it" he said with a laugh. "OK now then. Kyle." Gordon said this with a serious look on his face and then informed him: "Now there may be some things in this story about me that you find unexpected, but you must remember I wasn't always a priest. I was a warrior once."

Gordon's adventure starts next chapter! His story will tell how Gordon, Douglas, and Natalie first met and how they saved Norad. Also will tell how Cecilia ends up working for Egan.

To Kyle fans,

Kyle's not the main character of this story, but he will have sub stories between Arks. Many of the other Runefactory characters will make appearances or will be referenced also.
