Chapter 1 Sad endings
A soft breeze is blowing over the ocean as a small boat is drifting on the waves.
As the boat gently hits the shore of an island the small girl inside it slowly gets up.
With glasedover eyes the girl gets out of the boat and walks up the shore al the while she is hugging three cards close to her chest.
The sky is clear as a full moon shines down on the strange rock formations that decorate the island this peaceful setting is a big contrast with the chaos flowing trough the mind of the young girl as she leans against one of the stone pillars.
Bright flashes of light reduce the people around her to shadows as the sound of roaring thunder beats down on her eardrums.
The girls legs give out beneath her as she drops down against the stone and hugs her legs against her chest.
Pieces of the wall come crashing down as it was struck by lighting only seconds ago the screams of the few that cant dodge the falling debris are drowned out by the sound of thunder as the others raise their weapons to the center of the room.
The girl starts shaking as tears start dropping down her cheeks.
More than half of the people are thrown back instantly as the purple entity unleashes its power the rest appears heavily wounded.
The girl shivers in fear as the red and yellow eyes meet her brown ones for a second and the creature fires a bolt of electricity straight at her.
Why, why" the girl mumbles to herself still shaking "Why did it have to be him?" she says as she bursts out in tears again.
She had always found it funny the way his face wrinkled as he smiled at her but this time all she could do was look in shock as the old man stood firm shielding the girl from the onslaught of electrical energy "Grandpa No!".
The girls sobbing is interrupted as the markings on the stones around her begin to glow a bright blue color frightened she looks around in surprise and does not notice the full moons light concentrating on the center of the stone circle.
The battle has ended the few still standing are tending to the wounded some are rushing to the body of the man lying in front of the girl shaking him and saying "Chief Chief wake up" with all this happening the girl is just sitting there until one of the man turns towards her and whispers "What have you done?" At those words the girl starts running
The girl yelps in surprise as the ground in front of her gives away into a bright spectrum of colors still concentrating on the center of the rock formation the colors seem to settle into a small swirling circle.
Fascinated the girl sticks her hand into the circle only to pull it back when she feels a pulling sensation she realizes the circle is some sort of portal but whereto?.
Looking back for a second the girl makes a decision and jumps into the portal as the world around her dissolves her last thought is "Wherever this leads at least I won't hurt the village anymore.
