Chapter II
Atop the mountains north of Seles, a mysterious woman resides. The woman is wearing a purple vest and jacket, with some purple pants. Her black hair is in a pony tail.She approaches a cliff to look into the forests and notices a large rumbling. As it gets louder, she becomes more interested. Soon a large monster appears in the above the tree tops. It screams out a roar and tramples on. "The Green Tusked Dragon, Freybrand." The woman obviously senses danger as she jumps down to the bottom of the mountain...
In the forest, our hero Dart, is sitting on a rock and thinking about the war. "Chance of a war more likely... I hope its just a rumor." Dart soon hears rumbling and goes to see what it is. He does not find Freybrand, but rather a mirage of horsemen turning the path. He walks out as 2 of the horsemen approach him.
"Who are you?" they ask. "Are you a mercanary of Basil?" They grow impatient. "Answer!!"
He draws out his sword in defense, and does not move a muscle as the horse jumps back with the rider, almost knocking him off. As a fight is about to pursue, a monsterous step is heard. They stand there waiting. Soon one leg is seen, then another as a large, green-yellow, frightening Freybrand lurks out. Dart looks up at it in awe, as he stands motionless. The dragon reaches out his arms and hits Dart once, then another.
"I gotta do something or I'll be killed!!" Dart runs back down the path trying to out run the beast. Along the way the dragon knocks down numerous trees, almost crushing Dart twice, but he manages to survive for a bit longer. He starts walking backwards in an attacks position as if to say it was now or never. The dragon is just about to take his final swipe at Dart when out of the sky a the mysterious woman jumps out in a haste. She grabs Dart and leaps with him behind a rock. The wait there since the monster has no idea where they dissapeared to. Dart trys to ask the woman some questions but she covers his moth, "shhhhhhh... unless you want to be killed."
Freybrand is hitting the mountain side and rocks are tumbling as they wait. It soon realizes the two combatants are not in sight, so it walks on through the forest knocking down trees and making large thuds while going.
"Thank you for saving me... What was that?"
"It's a dragon. But its strange. That village could easily have been destroyed without a dragon."
Dart is very worried now. "Village!? What village? Seles was attacked... those horsemen must have done it."
"There won't be anything left now."
"Seles is my hometown..." With that Dart runs down the trail towards Seles. The woman stands there as if almost trying to stop him. Within moments a large purple light emits from her chest. She senses a connection. Oh my god! That man must be..? No. There is no way.
Dart reaches a clearing in the sloped forest so he can now see the burning town. The smoke rises into the ari and drifts with the wind. "Oh no..." He runs down the path falling multiple times and slides down the rest. He finds a fenced off area with a burned down house that holds two guards keeping watch. An old man is sitting the corner almost dead. The guards approach him as if about to kill him...
"Stop!!!" Dart interrupts with a drawn out sword ready to attack.
"Isn't it a little late for a mercanary to be showing up now?" the guard replys not sensing a worthy opponent.
"What are you doing here!?" Dart asks.
"We are here to occupy this area. And this worm seems to be in our way."
"Occupy!? Were you sent by the Imperial Army?" Dart is starting to piece together the puzzle.
The guards see no danger and decide to not tell him anymore and attack him head on...
It is a two on one fight, with the first guard attacking forst with his knife. Dart runs up to the guards and cuts them both twice, ending the fight and the guards run away.
The old man begins speaking..." Are...you really...Dart?"
"Yes... why was Seles attacked?"
"The war... Imperial Sandora." The man can barely talk but manages to spill out a few words. "Shana... taken... only you can...." The man falls to the ground completely as he lays there dead.
"Shana?" Dart runs to some other survivors and asks them what happened. He soon finds out that the Truce was broken and the Imperial Sandora had attacked the town and taken Shana. In a haste, he runs out of town... going to Hellena Prison.
