Series 1: The return of the Guardian

Hooded man: "Miyuki"

Miyuki: "huh.. wait, who are you?
' Hooded man: "there is no time left. Miyuki: (sarcastically she said) " What?!?!?"

Hooded man: "Your world is slowly dying, and soon they will arose and spread sorrow upon your land you called home, Midgard."

Miyuki: "uhhh... oookeey. uhhm.. were shall I find you.. uhhm sir??"

Hooded man: "You may stay asleep if you wish and all this you so called nonsense will be gone in your mind tommorrow. If not, wake up fast, follow the raven and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

Miyuki: huh.. what?? im asleep?!!

Thunder booms as Miyuki begins to realise that she is in her bed and not outside the walls of Prontrera talking to a brown hooded man. It is still dark but she is certain that the sun is nearing to shine for the chickens are starting to crow nonstop. She gets up in her lousy bed and wears her brown shirt, she tied up her long hair and walks up the bathroom, still groggy thinking about the dream she had last night. But as she is starting to brush up her teeth she noticed something outside near the tree, as she looks out of her cracked up glass window.

A raven that has a shiny coat of feather and brown eyes has been staring at her as she is looking out.

"Follow the raven and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes" her mind started to race some questions, " impossible, this could not happen!! How could the dream be true?!?!! hmmm.. Okey if he wants me to folllow him then I will."

She runs up her room, opens up her untidy closet and started to dress up fast.
She wears up her long shirt, her brown pants, leather boots, a blue coat, her short dagger and her overgrown crucifix in her neck. She went down the rugged stairs, grabs some loaf of bread and hides it in her pouch as she raced out her frontyard. But as she went near the tree the raven started to fly due east.

"My god.. Heeyy!! wait birdy.. or something!!" as she begins to chase up. The raven started to go outside of Prontrera. Miyuki has to give a reason for the guards to let her out, but as she started to reason out she noticed outside the raven perched up into another withered tree and from its looks its like it is waiting for her. Miyuki noticed that the 2 knights guarding the gates looks familiar, the one has short black hair while the other has long brown hair. At the same time when the knights allowed her to go outside the Raven flies again now heading northeast.

After 15 minutes of running the raven come to a halt on the open fields. " Hah there I got you!!" as Miyuki started to capture the bird and stroke its shiny feathers. " Now tell me birdy, where is your hooded master!! Tell me!!" as she begins to shake the raven up and down.

But the raven started to transform, Miyuki immediately drops the bird as it magically morphed into a brown hooded humanoid being. As Miyuki started to get up her feet after she has fallen, the hooded man speaks.

"Good morning my priestess" the man told her.

"Wai... wait.. who are you??" she babbled.

"That does'nt matter now. I am here to tell you......"

"Wait.. why are your eyes.. so small?" Miyuki said in a curious way.

"hehe.. Midgardian eyes are so big I may say, we humans are born to this world having small eyes" the hooded man said the jokingly " by the way so you decided to go down the rabbit hole am I right?"he said cunningly

"uhhmm.. well I like to know what you will tell me after you turned from a raven to a man in a couple of seconds."

"dont be afraid of me, I am here to tell you the incoming of evil"

"huh.. what? wait what did you say?? Evil" Miyuki eyes got wider

"Yes!! The coming of the dead is near and there plague shall spread like wild fire in midgard!"

"Aaahh??? okey??.. Well to your information raven man that we priestesess here in Midgard are able to eliminate almost all evil and undead here in our territory. Plus they.
Immedietely Miyuki stops taliking as soon as she noticed that the Hooded man is staring at her seriously, then the odd person speaks frantically yet clearly.

"I know you are too young to understand this, but what you have seen is nothing what the other races has faced in the last 30000 years. Midgard is not yet ready by this time, for evil is now preparing its forces to attack this continent and turn it to a waste land. The forces of the dead has already taken out the light in the northern and middle continents. Now there next plan is to invade this area and turn your homeland into a plague ridden place. I know that you are thinking that I am crazy but please believe me.

By this time Miyuki starts to think fast " Is he crazed or something?? I dont know,
maybe he is telling the truth. Okey whatever I think he can be trusted".

"Well okey if thats is your prophecy, then what is my role in this scheme??"

"Go to Glas Helm, and tell them to withdraw back all there forces to Prontrera.."

"What?!!? They may branded me as a lunatic for that!! Imagine that Miyuki the crazy one!!"

But the man kept on speaking.

Go to Geffen, Morroc, and Pion and tell them to abandon all these major cities and regroup to Prontrera. Don't ever go to other cities to warn them for they have already fallen to the Dead. Don't trust anyone who might wants to be in your business. After regrouping tell them to be prepared.

"Aaaahhh... uhhhmm.." Miyuki just listen and stares at the man

"Just do what I said and I will give you further details. This task that I am giving you must not exceed within 8 weeks. When done I shall meet you in Al Berta after 2 days in the afternoon. Then the hooded man looks back and started to become a raven again.

"Wha... what?!?!? hey wait a second..

But before she can continue the hooded man turned again into a raven and flies off to the deep forest. That time the sun is now shining and gives out a soft yellow light unto Miyuki's face. The breeze is still freezing yet because of the discussion she have never felt cold that morning. Questions starts to fill her mind: "who's that guy??, Why is he in a hurry?, Go to Glas-helm?
is he crazy? why should I warn them? and.... why is his eyes so small?

"Okey.... if that is what he wants then lets see. Im sure this is part of the exams my mentor gives. Why I'll show him that im the best in my league. Then off to Glashelm for me."
After that Miyuki starts to walk back to Prontrera.
The first week.
