The Sanctuary
"What exactly are we looking for besides firkin bats in all directions!" Seth said as they headed down the catacombs.
"Ugh! What is that foul stench!" Silver growled.
"Eh! Must be underneath Bowerstone Industrial" Connor said.
"Where exactly are we going bat smackers?" Ginjer asked sitting on Seth shoulder.
"I think this is it" Connor as they reached a large room where they saw another Cullis Gate.
"I got this one! Force Push!" Silver said launching the spell and activating the gate as they all glowed.
The group then ended up in a new room as they all collapsed to the ground from the sudden transportation.
"Ugh! My stomach went inside out!" Seth groaned as his eyes widen at where they were.
"Where are we?" Connor asked as he looked at the map table of Albion in the center of the room.
"No bloody way! Connor do you know what this place is!" Seth said as Gabriel appeared in the room.
"This is your legacy Connor, this is the Sanctuary used by your ancestors before you it will take a while to clean but here in this room you will find the items you need" Gabriel said pushing open the dust and cobweb covered door to the armory.
"Amazing, this is the Sanctuary this place was rumored to be never found by any man and yet here I am standing in the real place itself!" Seth said as they stepped into the Armory and approached some manikin displays of two gauntlets on one manikin one hold up a very sharp and strangely having a faint blue glow like the gun and seemed to call to Connor like the gauntlets.
"Wow, these weapons have this strange aura with them" Silver said sniffing them.
"These weapons were used by your ancestors before you Connor and have reacted to your presences put on the gauntlets" Gabriel said.
"Hmmm they kind of look like the ones your wearing Gabriel" Connor said putting them on both his hands.
"Now to add my touch" Gabriel said taking Connor hands and held them out as he held his above Connor's as he began transfer the spells he knew into Connor Gauntlets as Connor felt the gauntlets tighten on his hands.
"What the he-AH AHHH! GAAH! WHAT THE HELL!" Connor yelled as the gauntlets began to burn his skin.
"Connor! What the hell did you do!" Seth yelled pointing his gun at Gabriel.
"Just a precaution, as you can see mine are infused with my skin as well" Gabriel said hold up his hand.
"You mean I can't take these off now?!" Connor yelled.
"You will when the time comes but for now these will now allow you to fuse spells and thanks to me you can now use spells no one but I could use" Gabriel said.
"You could have warned me that hurt like a bitch!" Connor said.
"No one warned me" Gabriel said gesturing to his gauntlets.
"Fuse spells huh? That will come in handy" Connor said.
"Now then time to get rid of that duct tape held sword and rusty old pistol and upgrade" Gabriel said.
"Hmmm" Connor said taking off his old gear and set them aside as he approached the Hero Sword and Hero Pistol and picked them both up.
"So do they feel as magical as they look?" Seth asked.
"Wow, these weapons have such a strange feeling but they feel so right in my hands" Connor said spinning the sword and pointed it at a manikin.
"Thanks to their previous owner they have reached their full point of power but to master them you must learn as you use them and once mastered your true power will be freed once you reached the end of your journey" Gabriel said.
"So where to the south is this hero exactly?" Connor said as they all returned to the main room and looked at the map table as Connor blew the dust off.
"From the visions I've seen this hero fights in a grand arena, with each victory he is cheered on by many spectators like a gladiator in an arena" Gabriel said.
"The Crucible! That is the only arena in the south! I've seen many of the fights on TV! There is a fighter that is the current champion and get this he's only twenty-one years old and already the strongest and youngest fighter there he calls himself the Iron Fist and it's not because of that giant ass hammer he carries around" Seth said.
"That's him!" Connor said setting the Iron Fist card on the table.
"But the problem is no one is allowed to see him, not even for interviews after every fight no one knows where he goes off too but he must live in the Crucible since no one ever seen him leave and they don't let just anyone in, you won't get anywhere as a spectator and as a fighter they won't let you in unless your known around the area" Seth said.
"So I need to get popular, that shouldn't be too hard right?" Connor said.
"Yes, there are many quests that can be done to get your name out there but it will take time" Gabriel said.
"What the hell?!" Seth said picking up a letter, "Connor...this is written to you."
"Say what?" Connor said taking it and saw his name indeed was on it, "it does! But who?"
"It would seem Theresa for saw this before I and informed the last king of you" Gabriel said.
"Who the hell is Theresa?" Seth asked.
"She also one of Connor ancestors but also she is King Sparrow and King Adam guides when they set out to become the heroes they were meant to be, it would seem this would be her last aid to us" Gabriel said looking at the seal on the envelope.
"It's a royal seal! It must be from the last king" Connor said opening it.
Connor,
It's strange though we may never meet Theresa told me you will be a greater hero than even I or my father, she wanted me to write you this knowing you would someday find it so I leave you Connor my Sanctuary and everything within it, follow what your heart says and you will be able to triumph through the hardest of trials, lord knows I faced some myself I wish you the best of luck on your journey and have trust in yourself and your friends they will help you through this journey.
Best of Luck,
King Adam.
"My ancestor already knew about me, wow never imagined getting a letter like this but this is all mine" Connor said looking around.
"Hmm the map shows some odd symbols and according to this really old book...the Book of Heroes...ironically this thing shows you where quests are available and get this it can take you anywhere on here! Just selected your destination it well you should just end up there" Seth said reading the book.
"Connor go to Westclif Village there should be some quests available there Seth, Ginjer and I will give this place some cleaning" Gabriel said.
"Oh sure give him all the fun" Seth said rolling his eyes.
"You will get your chance I can't clean this place alone" Gabriel said.
"Let's see" Connor said examining the map, "okay I found Westclif but nothing hap-" Connor began as he and Silver glowed and ended up outside the gates of Westclif Village, "-pening...whoa I haven't been here since, man I was a baby when I was last here."
"So now we just go around and find quests to do?" Silver asked.
"Let's head to the Crucible first let's see what the requirements to getting first are" Connor said.
"Good plan" Silver said as they walked in and looked around the busy bustling village and looked to the massive arena on top of the hill and the stairs going up them.
"Hardly any Patrol soldiers here" Silver said.
"I've noticed most of them are stationed in Bowerstone while crime increase in the other part of the country which is why that bastard Lucifer needs to be knocked off the throne and Reaver needs to have a royal boot kicked up his pompous ass" Connor said as they reached the stairs and ran up them to see the two men in front of the door.
"Ah bloody hell, not another one!" the large man said.
"Sorry kid, no nobodies gets in" a slimmer man said.
"First of all I'm not a kid and second I will be entering very soon I just want to know the requirements for getting in to fight" Connor said.
"Well you need to be a somebody right Wolf Fang?"
"Right Charlie, you need to have weapons of your own, you got that down, no dogs allowed and you will also need to sign a waiver."
"A waiver? For what?" Connor said.
"People die in these fights kid, if that troll don't beat you our champion Iron Fist will" Charlie said.
"Iron Fist does that guy live here or something?" Connor asked.
"Sorry kid Iron Fist wish to keeps all the personal information to himself, go off and play or something and come back later when you got a name" Wolf Fang said.
"Fine I will and I'm not a kid!" Connor growled as he and Silver headed back down.
"Now what?" Silver asked.
"Can you hear me?" Gabriel asked.
"Yeah we hear you" Connor said.
"Hey Connor, it would seem there is a few quests in the village the closet one is in a nearby house a few blocks from you good luck!" Seth said.
"Yeah good luck you Balverine midnight snack!" Ginjer said.
"Thanks and piss of Ginjer" Connor said as he went to the direction where his first quest was held.
