RAGNAROK (The Sentinel)
Chapter One-
AT THE TOWER
It's a fine early day. The sky is a good blend of magenta, light yellow and blue with little streaks of white. The air is cool and calm, and there's not even a grass moving. Small creatures are still in peaceful slumber. And for these nocturnal beings, it's a good time to extend ones sleep after a long night of hunting.
Up ahead, situated on top of a vast rocky plateau are the ruins of Prontera City. Devastated by continued plaguing of the enemies, not a soul is in sight. But despite its rumbles and ruins the city is full of grandeur, people's way of life in the past is still visible in each fallen columns.
Then all of a sudden… A BLAST! The left wing of the tower of the temple at the north was hit by a very strong force from inside…
"Aawk! We're being attacked!" warned a creature. The room is full of red smoke and dust… and when all have subsided, there standing at the middle was a slender female in her early 20's, dark long straight hair with two long separated braids on each side, few strands in front hanging loosely on her beautiful face, with
fierce dark eyes, a sign of a determined warrior. A Mage. The gargoyles realized what have hit them…
Mages are magic-wielders, specializing on offensive spells. They can cast variety of devastating elemental spells and deadly arsenal magical attacks on their opponents.
"Aaawk… aawk!" The demon like creatures have head of a falcon with four pointed spikes on top, with large muscular body, big rounded sharp eyes that can see preys miles away, but it's no match for the swift movement of this visitor. Hurriedly they lifted themselves up with their strong powerful wings and surrounded the intruder…
"Argh! Lamented her… missed by a feather! Protective shield must be activated!"
Gargoyles with their fiery red eyes flying around her… planning to make the last dive that will put an end to this intrusion.
"Aawk.. aawk! Blast the intruder to smithereens!" ordered one.
The female warrior just stood there watching intently, putting her hands together in a ball, closed her eyes and mumbled words that surprised her enemies…
"Serak'im…Serak'im… Oberon ,Lord of faeries... lend me your power!"
She stood there in perfect balance, planted her feet on the ground and with eyes wide open recited loudly…
"By the light manifested by the full moon, fill this place with your energy!"
The gargoyles appalled, hovering in fright, saw a very dark sphere of nothingness appearing at the middle of the room… growing bigger and bigger!
The warrior lifted her arms, pointed them to the floating freaks… "Darker than darkness!" …and released the force!
"Aaaaaaawwwk!" black smoke covered the whole place… all she heard were loud thuds… and then there was silence.
The powers of evil have been annihilated. The demons have reverted back to stone. "These low life creatures…" putting her feet on top of one that's still moving, "You think you're smarter… hah!" and squeezed it harder, "Don't flatter yourselves!" leaving the creature pulverized on the ground.
She continued on her search and proceeded to the chambers of the temple. The sudden tranquility gives an eerie feeling. The whole place is turning into pitch black as she goes deeper and deeper…
"Ignite Holy Fire!" A ball of fire appeared, and she steered it with her palm without touching the thing, giving her a clear vision of the surroundings. "I see Balder's tracks everywhere!" She felt a sudden gust of wind; a strong force is coming… " I sense… an enemy!"
"Muwhaaha ha ha…"
Turning around to where the voice is coming from, a humongous demon materialized on her sight!
"…!"
The demon opened its mouth and exhaled a ball of green light. "What the… ?" The demon released its weapon… shooting as fast as a comet towards its enemy. Thinking quick, she pulled out her staff and swipe the impending danger off to the monsters direction tearing it into pieces. "Tsk… how annoying!"
She wandered alone in the darkness, but as she go through different chambers she feel strange images following and observing her every movement. And from the shadows at the corners came out more creatures of darkness… realizing the situation, she swayed the staff with full force, summoning its power…
"Fire Light Blaze!" And blinding light surrounded her. The demons screamed and screeched with pain as the light touches their body, then all of a sudden… "poooof!" They vanished like powder in thin air.
And once again she is left alone in the solitude of the chamber walls. Quietly, she goes on, murmuring to herself… "Have this sacred grounds become the lair of demons? Those creatures doesn't seem to be from around here.."
"Muwhaaha ha ha…"
Amuch bigger demon, the size of the first ones put together appeared behind her.
"Arrgh! There's more!"
Getting tired of the creatures, she turned as quick as a lightning… levitated herself and with her staff
striking the creature with full force! But it didn't seem to hurt the demon… she knows she have to do something quick! "Laevatein, I command you! Transform now!" The staff glowed as if getting recharged with power…
"Fire Light Blaze!" The whole hideous being of the creature become visible. It resembles a rock monster, about 10 feet tall, with huge biceps un-proportioned to its body, fiery red eyes and at the forehead it has 6 extra eyes. The head is smooth with something like a bone helmet. It has numerous sharp pointed teeth, long sharp claws are attached on its long wobbly arms and it's planning to make a fatal strike on her.
She saw it coming. And as swift as a fox, she leaped farther at the back. Then the demon opened its mouth to exhale a large green ball of light… its ultimate weapon!
Pointing the staff towards the creature, she commanded… "Laevatein! Extend!" In an instant the staff grew longer until it reaches the monster's face… pushing the green ball of light forcibly into its mouth. The demon, surprised at the turn of events doesn't know what to do. And the deadly Grand finale that's about to destroy her exploded inside the demons body and blew it up into smithereens!
"Whew!"
Analyzing what's happening, she realized that those demons don't seem to have a mind of their own. It looks like they are being controlled by something more powerful. "Hmmn…looks like I'm not alone." She can sense the aura of a strong being as she goes nearer to the opening at the end of the chamber.
Outside she found what seems like the secret garden of the kings. And at the middle of the pile of ruins, there stuck on one rock is Sentinel Breeze! These walls witnessed the great battle between Balder and his enemies. A millennium has past and Balder's Sentinel Breeze remains standing. A sign of his immeasurable might in battle. And she thought, there must be a strong invisible bond between Balder and this Sentinel, something she can use in tracking him down.
"Ha ha! You're so predictable!" A female voice… "The sword does have the clues eh..?"
She looked behind her and found the owner of the voice suspended in air. A Valkrie! And she is chaperoned by six medium-sized Frost giants.
"C'mon Fernis. You really think it could break the seal?"
The female merrily introduced herself as Sara Irine, one of the 12 Valkries, commissioned by Lady Freya to assassinate Fernis Fenrir who dodges death time and time again in search of the Holy blade, the Sentinel Breeze.
The Valkrie is a pretty young maiden, almost as old as Fernis. She's got light colored eyes and light colored hair tied up on the back of her head, half of it is braided on one thick lock adding accent on her beautiful face, with bangs flowing loose ('must be the new trend). She's dressed in thick colorful clothing but just like Fernis, her beautiful figure can still be seen. Suspended in thin air, it seems like she's riding on her magical staff.
"Know what..? said she, "Your doomsday now awaits you!"
Four of the Frost giants neared Fernis as Sara Irine speaks. They resemble the demons that she fought with in the chambers but these ones are Robotics. Covered with heavily padded armor, their claws are 10 inches long and made of sharp metal and there's something that seems like an extra weapon on their palm,
loaded with canons, they look more like Protons than servants of Valkries. They are a perfect image of creatures from hell though they seem to have a happy facial expression all the time that is most annoying.
Fernis realized how hostile the situation is. Sara Irine noticed that she's being ignored. The Frost giants are getting impatient.
"Alright! Take that lousy sword and be gone with it!" shouted the Valkrie.
That's the cue for the four Frost giants. One by one they started leaping toward Fernis, gnashing their sharp teeth and ready to kill.
As this was happening, Fernis cut her left palm. Letting blood gush from the fresh wound, splatter it on four corners of the spot where she's standing and started to chant…
"North, South, East, West… take this offering of blood!"
Standing erect, she waited for the monsters to come closer… closer..., and in a flash she kneeled on one leg, with her left fist she strike the ground… "Come forth Heat Shield!" The ground shook and an Inferno appeared and consumed all four Frost giants crowding her.
"Gyaaaaaah…aaah!" They turned into charcoal mound.
The Valkrie is astonished but pretended cool… "Hah! So much effort for an itsy-bitsy flame power!" And called her pathetic.
Fernis shrugged… wiped the bangs on her face… "Whatever."
Author's Note: RAGNAROK – is a German word meaning "Dooms Day." Obviously, the whole story (of the game) is about the nearing dawn of human kind. Will it be the end for the Gods and humans? As we go through the story, we'll get to meet the other characters who will play very important roles in saving the world. We'll get to meet warlocks, clerics, sages, the honorable knight "Chaos" and the deadly assassin "Loki" whose combined forces will put an end to the horrific monsters and the Gods themselves to save the future of their entire world! This is just one part of RAGNAROK. It's a very long story and I hope I could find time to write it all here. You are very welcome to make comments and suggestions. Please send me your REVIEWS and tell me what you think. Thank you.
