Heroes
Chapter 1: Passing Elders
As they left the village, they got to the fork of Dalen, which contained four roads, two of which led into the forest. They took the left most branch, which took 3 hours to get to the forest. After about two hours had passed, they heard a slight whizzing sound. While looking around for what it was, they heard it again and Alon fell. Dio gasped and Ri went to Alon's side. "He is alive", he said, contently, "but only by chance." "What do you mean, Father?", questioned Rian. "I mean to say that he needs medical attention quickly", he said gravely, "for it was a poisoned arrow that pierced him in the shoulder." "From who, or what?", Dio asked, curious. "Goblins.", Thirian said. "It is a special toxin that is only brewed by Go..o...." As he spoke, he fell forward to reveal an axe sticking out of the back of his skull. As the two children watched with horror, another arrow appeared in between Alon's eyes, as he was lying on his back. While Rian picked up Ri's sword, eyes filled with rage, Dio, teary eyed and definately P. O.'ed, picked up the axe and pulled out his sword, they looked at the ground, each picked up an orb, and started running along the path.
