Chapter 2: Azarim Appears
Tharius Evaehell
Night. The rest of the city lies in slumber. However, in one particular house, nothing appears to normal…or right. Rebecca opened the door. A man wearing a robe, similar to those with a wizard except that it carries a crescent moon crossed with a sword and its color was black, stepped inside the house. He took off his robe and hanged it off in the coat rack. The night wind rushed inside the house as the door behind the man closed. The man bowed before Rebecca.
"Forgive my interruption, but I sense that the stone is here. Perhaps you can show me the bearer?" He asked
Rebecca showed him the way up. As they entered the door, the night breeze once again rushed through the room. Rebecca poured some tea into a cup and gave it too the man, who was sitting beside the Xyron. The man closed his eyes and it started to rain outside. The streetlights lighted some more. The man took some of the tea in and exhaled.
"Are you the bearer of the stone?" He asked
Xyron only answered with a nodded.
"Then I have come to the right place. My name is Azarim de Scoulet, brother of the Leon de Scoulet. And what you have their, my friend, is the memory stone."
Rebecca's eyes widened up. "How could you possibly be Leon's brother if he died a thousand years ago!"
Azarim took another sip. "You are about to find out. Listen closely as I shall reveal to you what truly happened. And what is it with that stone."
Lightning roared down outside. The rain started to get worse. The night sky covered the dark clouds that night. All was silent. All was still that night.
"A long time ago, before the Treaty of the four nations was made, the kingdom Netara thrived with power. Netara controlled majority of the small villages in Rune Midgard but it contolled two of the greatest cities ever founded: Glast Heim and the now lost Geffenia. Netara's capital was Glast Heim while Geffenia was their main military settlement. The three other nations, Payon, Morroc and the northern Republic, were struggling to cope with Netara's advancement but none succeeded. Netara continued to grow and grow. Years after they have closed their gates to trading with other nations, they discovered the ultimate ore: Emperium. This Emperium enabled Netara to, once again, overpower their adversaries with the creation of the Guilds. Netara only created two guilds: The knight guild and the wizard guild. Eventually, the other nations discovered this and searched the whole land for some of this godly ore. Wars raged between these nations but Netara refused to give any help to any of the nations. However, not all was peaceful in Netara. Soon, a revolt was about to begin, a revolt that would soon change the history of Midgard."
Azarim turned to his hosts "Do you want to hear more? I should warn you that this might shake your beliefs."
Xyron nodded
"Very well. You are about to hear the tale which no book holds. The Lunar War."
Azarim placed his hand over Xyron's forehead. "I shall show you what happened"
