Chapter I
I sighed in utter hopelessness, looking around the small, dark, cell that held 2 other people and me. I am named Ryu. Ryu Kisargi. Me, my sister, Summer, and one of our friends, Riku Savrem, were abducted about a day and a half ago. It was a normal day, then as we were leaving school, a roving band of lizardmen came up behind us, knocked us out, and with frightening speed, took us to the heart of their underground city, Kabraxis. All I did was lean against a wall, Riku medataited, and Summer paced back and forth, because she thought they were gonna kill us or worse. She finally sat down, laughing. She said, "Well, it could be worse. They could've tied us up or something." About two minutes later, five lizardmen came in, one carrying a coil of rope, another carrying 3 amall vials, and the other two seemed to be carrying chains. After me and Riku gave Summer the evil eye, they backhanded us, and in our daze, they bound our hands and feet with incredible speed. They laughed slightly, forcing the contents of the vials down our throats, and it was determined that it was a sleeping potion, and we drifted into a deep sleep, and we were carried off, to an uncertain location. Several hours later, we awoke, chained to separate altars, and we began to protest loudly, and an extremely loud voice yelled "QUIET!" Of course, we immeaditely shut up to this suprisingly human voice. We then heard footsteps, and I strained to see a human, dressed in ornate robes. He laughed loudly, saying "Exellent. The Chosen, The Innocent, and the Defiled! Your blood shall fuel this final act of blasphemy against your pitiful gods! The Three will walk this earth with your blood starting their first breaths! My brothers, let us begin!" About right after he said that, three lizardmen dressed in ornate robes pulled out ornate daggers with curved blades. They slit our wrists, letting blood flow onto the altars, and while we were screaming in pain, a earthquake rocked the small temple, caving in parts of the roof, the moon becoming visable, then a spire of flame erupted from the center, and I heard Riku yell, "WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT?!' and I heard dark, hollow laughter and blood-curldling screams. The chains that binded me finally gave way and I got up, sort of weak from the blood loss, and I saw three gaurgantan figures, horns and other appendages jutting from their humanoid forms, one of them looked at me and I froze in terror, shuddering slightly as it said, "Heh, so this is the Chosen One, he is nothing but a mere boy! My brothers, shall we destroy him now?" One of them chuckled slightly and said, "Baal, why should we waste what little power on him anyway? He isn't worth it." The one he called Baal sighed and stalked off, saying "He is mine anyway." and a large door opened, and the three walked out, laughing slightly. I rummaged through the lizardmen's dead bodies and eventually found a crude broadsword, and I cut Riku and Summer free, and we tried our best to heal our wounds, then I began to walk to the door where they went and Summer said, "Are you insane!? They'll kill you!" I sighed and looked back, saying "I've gotta try, otherwise they might destroy everything we know." She sighed, grabbing a long stick that used to be a torch, saying "I might as help then." The only thing that Riku did was laugh after grabbing a lizardmen's bow and some arrows, saying "You owe me one for this Ryu." and we walked through the door and down a large passage, and we heard an insane, dark laugh that made us freeze in place. The one called Baal was standing there, looking at us in amusment. The only thing he did was send spires of flame from the earth, and that easily dispatched us. He laughed again, and picked me up by the throat, as I struggled in vain, he laughed wildly, and threw me to the wall, and I, I just snapped. I felt some strange energy flowing through my body and I sent a beam of light into Baal, then somehow, Summer, Riku, and myself were teleported out of that place. I didn't know where we landed, because we were knocked out by the fall.
