Chapter 1: The Silver Emerald

"What!" two voices could be heard through the woods, shouting.

"What do you mean by the reign of Jonathan the uh..Jonathan the what?" Sera asked, having not paid much attention after Alanna had said "Reign of Jonathan"

"This can't be good!" Aidan said, "We don't have any ruling kings where we come from and there are definitely no knights there." "How then do you keep peace?" Alanna asked. "There are police men, and others who take care of that I'm not getting into it at the moment." Sera said.

Alanna frowned. She didn't know Wether to believe or not believe these strange girls, but their clothes gave no argument, Alanna had never seen any clothes such as this before.

"Sera" Sera looked at Aidan and Alanna came out of her reverie. "What?" Sera asked. "Where is the emerald?" Aidan asked. Sera went pale. "I..I let go of it when it started glowing." Aidan ran back to where they had been, followed by Sera. Alanna and Raul followed after them at a slower pace. Some of the soldiers who some of the soldiers who had been pretending they weren't hearing stopped and starred at the figures of the two young girls.

Aidan and Sera went on their knees and started looking everywhere in the ground. "What emerald are you talking about?" Raul asked, looking at the girls curiously. "Well where we came from, there is this story, well it's not a story its true but happened a long time ago, about an emerald that was very powerful. A wizard made it so it could be used for good but in doing this he made the balance between good and evil unstable. So the Silver Emerald was created. It was made to do evil. There was this war that almost wiped out all the magic users in existence, but a young Wizard sacrificed himself to destroy the Golden Emerald which then meant that the Silver Emerald would also disappear, but it seems that it didn't work cause now its back and we have to get it back to Sevvin so that he can get rid of it and we can't find it!" Aidan finished, taking a deep breath. Sera looked at her. "Wow, that was a fast review of the Emerald wars." "Shut up." Aidan said.

Sera shook her head. "I think were forgetting what we are," she said. Aidan stopped searching. "That's right! We can just use a spell!" Sera rolled her eyes, and got up. She positioned her hands like she had done not long before. Aidan got up, and stepped away from Sera. A blue light filled the triangle that Sera made with her hands. "Brisko poia tora is chamenos" "What did she say?" Alanna asked. "She said 'find now what is lost' she has to say it another language cause if she says it in her language it'll have some unexpected results, but that's what Wizards have to do anyways. Sera's a wizard, I'm a Mage." she was cut short when the light that Sera had in her hands, shot out into the sky turned left going very far into the distance. Sera dropped her hands to her sides, and the light disappeared. "It seems like the emerald landed here but not with us, and not close either, it's to far away and to make it worse the emeralds power interrupts with my spell! I can't pinpoint its location!" "Come with us to Corus we have friends who might be able to help you find what you're looking for, and if I'm correct that's the way the light went." Aidan and Sera looked at her. "We can't go home with out the emerald so sure we'll go." Alanna smiled. "Don't worry I'm sure this will turn out alright." "As long as it turns out alright with me living I won't complain." Sera said, following Alanna and Raul back to camp. Aidan nodded in agreement and followed Sera.

He stumbled through the woods. How dare the King exile him! Jonathan would pay for that! He would make sure of it. "I see much darkness in your heart." He stopped when he heard the voice. "Who's out there?!" he shouted. A woman dressed in a black dress that had raven wings at her back and two unusually big ravens stepped out from the trees. "You were exiled because you were passing information to the enemy, now you wish for revenge on the one who exiled you." "Th..that's right!" he said. The woman smiled and the he saw that her eyes were black, pure black. No pupil showed or any white around the eyes. "I can help you. I can give you a weapon that will enable you to become very strong. Alliance yourself with those who you passed information too." She opened her palm, and he saw a Silver Emerald. "This is yours to take, use it as you see it fit. I give you this but with one condition." he looked at the emerald. "What ever you want you can have it." The woman smiled. "There are two girls here. Strange girls that come from a time far in the future. With them came another emerald like this one. It is called The Golden emerald. Find it put it in a place where it will never be found again. Do not be tempted to use it for it will burn you; it is made for the use of good, not for revenge. As for the two girls I want them captured and kept alive and unharmed until I come to claim them. If you do that you may have this realm for the taking." She tossed the emerald to him and he greedily cached it. With a small laugh she disappeared and with her the ravens.
