THE NAME!!!!!)

After being rebuilt and destroyed more than once,
the town of Arwic was turned into a fortress.
The Abaharaki clan dominated the area. It consisted of about
150 persons, one third of them were scouts. The larger portion of them were humans,
though there were some Tumeroks and Lugians. Still, oddity created some tension.
The Abaharaki, when not challenged or disturbed or hired, are a peacful, friendly people
willing to help others in need. They are almost like Bounty hunters, but they stick
together. The Elite of the Abaharaki consisted of four people: The chief, Dante the noble;
his fiance, Aya the swift; Aya's brother, Erick the Skilled; and Jhaxk Isandil, a
lugian cleric. Also closely associated with the Abaharaki but not of them were the Two Tumerok
Twins, also called the Travelling troublemakers, Ryoga and Wolfwood.
They were an odd couple, Wolfwood was as black as night, Ryoga was as white as snow.
And it was one cold winter evening, Ryoga was scouting around the mountains when he came across
two people. One was in black vesments, holding a strange staff.
He noticed the garnet was crafted into a strange shape. He recognized it as Elven.
Elves did exist in Dereth. They came through portals long ago and made themselves
scarce, hiding their homes using their powerful magik.
"Never in all my life..." Ryoga said to himself with his Tumerok-born hiss, "did
I think I'd see an elf!"
"Anju, I don't understand, Why was I unable to interact with these beings all my life?"
"Dilandau, my son, it was your destiny. On the third eve of the red star, you will
be born, and you will take on your fallen state."
"What? Born? Fallen state--?"
"Amnesia. You will unleash something into this wold that will change everything.
Depending on what you do, Dereth dies, or is spared."
"What the hell do you mean?! Just what do you plan to do, Anju?"
"You remember the visions I showed you? Of Chaos?
Recall that I told you Chaos needs a powerful host. Only one being
in this world is ever fit to be his host."
"Anju... It doesn't make sense... Me?"
"Chaos needs a pure soul- He needs a mold into which he can shape. Not
something evil and corrupted, not something pure and just. He needs
something clean, blank. You've lived a lonely life, and your young.
Your a baby. Dilandau, you've seen the leaves in these forests burn red
and grow green 499 times.
In your 500th year, You will be fresher than now.
Alas, you too will be a blank thing..."
"...Anju..." The boy looked up at the man in disgust. Ryoga saw
that he had a circlet and his vesments were rich. He must've been
of some royalty.
"Before you go, I need to tell you something." The older one said.
"Speak."
"The summoner dies, while the host lives on. I shall leave you know.
Don't stray too far, my Lord." With that, he vanished. Ryoga stared blankly
at the spot where the elf once stood.
He began to stealthily move towards the boy left alone. He wore a black cloak
with a strange symbol. He noticed then it was a dragon with two heads.
The boy stood there, staring in disbelief into nothing.
"For some reason, I knew this would happen... Maybe this is
why I don't fear it. Hitomi, Hitomi, are you near?"
"Who's he calling out to?" Ryoga wondered.
"Dilandau! Oh, Dilandau, I am always near for you!" A beautiful girl
danced her way softly to the boy. She had a sheer green dress and
pale blond hair. Her cheeks were roses and her eyes sapphires.
She was almost translucent, Ryoga noticed. She was a nymph, he was
sure... He had seen them once before with his brother.
"Hitomi, I just wanted to say good bye."
"But, Lord? You cannot leave these woods..."
"Your right... I just had a day dream..." He took her hands. She blushed.
"Hitomi, promise me, you'll never forget me."
"My Lord, only if you remember me," she smiled at him.
He let go and backed away. Ryoga stood motionless.
His mind was about to pop. The Nymph turned to where Ryoga stood
camoflauged. She smiled, laughed, and faded away.

"I tell you, it wasss the ssstrangesst thing, brother."
"You know something, Ryoga? I believe you." Wolfwood said
in his clear common speech.
"sserriousss?" Ryoga asked.
"No." Wolfwood laughed.
"Basstahrrd." Ryoga spat.
A man walked into the tent were the brothers were.
"Chief Dante, Dost the wind embrace thee?" Wolfwood greeted him with a common Tumerok phrase.
The tall man nodded at the two of them and replied, "Yes, and has the rays of the sun kept
you from harm this day?"
Wolfwood laughed at Dante's attempt to mock the Tumerok speech. "Chief, give up."
They laughed,but Ryoga sat motionless, staring at the floor.
The Chief cleared his throat and asked, "Report, Ryoga."
"Tell me everything you know about Chaos."
