Ariali's POV

I sighed as I headed out of town, pulling my dark blue cloak over my head. I touched my sword to make sure that I still had it with me. I looked at my surroundings and paused. The Halani mountains stretched up ahead of me almost touching the night sky. I decided that I needed to camp before I passed out from exhaustion. I sat in a nearby clearing building a fire, to scare off any animals that might be thinking of me as a snack. I saw that the moon was full and gasped in alarm. Pyro always lit villages on fire when there was a full moon. I stood up and looked down at the town that I had just been in an hour before. The town was engulfed in flames. I silently cursed Pyro and gathered my belongings and started to run toward the village in an attempt to save some of the people. It wasn't their fault that Pyro was a psycho, among other things. I just prayed that at least some people would be alive this time, unlike last time. The image of charred bodies flashed through my head as I cringed.

I could feel the heat from the burning town and I came upon its gates. Guards outside of the town stopped me in my tracks. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?" The taller guard asked. "I'm going to help the people inside." I said with no emotion, trying to shove my way through. "No your not, those people inside should burn." The other guard told me. "What!" I screamed surprised at his reaction. "Those people are not worth saving." He said. "You have to be kidding me!" I yelled shoving one guard out of the way trying to enter the town. I heard a blood curdling scream come from the village. As I looked at the two guards, I could tell that they were completely serious. My jaw dropped in amazement. "What's going on here?" Another male voice asked. The captain of the guard had come. "Sir, this woman wants to help the people in the village." The older guard said saluting. "Bring her with us, she'll be put to death in Maluzo." The Captain said binding my wrists together.

I stared at the captain in complete shock, I couldn't believe how cruel they were. "On what charge sir?" The younger officer asked. "She burned down the city." The captain said smirking cruelly. "What! I didn't burn the city! You sick bastard!" I said regaining my voice as I struggled against the ropes. "It's our word against yours." The Captain said laughing evilly. As I lunged at him, one of the officers hit me over the head. The last thing I saw as I hit the ground was the village engulfed in flames. Flames that I would gladly jump into, if it would end those peoples misery. But he would never let me, he wants me to live, so he can torture me by burning everyone that I ever knew. God, how much I despise him!

Kirya's POV

I sat in a tree swinging my legs in the air. The sound of my orcina drifted into the air as I watched the sunset. The wind blows softly through my hair as I realize that there is something hanging in my face. I open my eyes to see a giant black spider hanging inches away from my nose. "AHHH!" I scream loudly, ending up loosing my balance on the tree branch and falling forward. I mumble oh great, just what I need as I crash to the ground, head first. I jump up as I realize that the spider is on my nose! My eyes widen as I jump around wailing my arms in the air screaming and trying to get the disgusting spider off me.

"GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF" I yell now in tears from having a spider on me. It falls off and I squish it with my broken sandal. I look at the squished spider in disgust as I wipe it on the grass. I walk over to my orcina to find it cracked. I sigh and head back to the village shaking and pale from my spider incident. I know that my hair is probably a mess and clothes are filthy but I continue walking to the village deciding if I should tell Corathir. He'll probably make fun of me I say to myself as I try to fix my broken sandal.

Hiei's POV

After killing another pathetic excuse for a demon, I wipe my bloody katana in the grass. I hear a girl arguing with the guards, but I can't make out her face without revealing my hiding place. I can't hear what they're saying but by the way that she is trying to shove her way past, it seems that she wants to get into the town. I block out the screams of the burning people as I try to concentrate on their conversation. I watch her argue with the guards awhile longer and then the captain comes up to them. Now she's in trouble I think amused at the situation. The two guards salute the Captain and tell him something. He looks at the girl and then begins to bind her wrist together. She seems in a state of shock as her looks like she looking out into the town. She regains her voice and yells loudly "What! I didn't burn down the city! You sick bastard!" The Captain laughs evilly and says something to the girl. She lunges at him but before she can reach him, one of the guards knocked her over the head with the hilt of his katana. I watch her fall to the ground as I notice a sword strapped to her side.

They begin to drag her out of the city and toward the capital city Maluzo, which was about a day away. My curiosity get the better of me as I follow them into the forest, trying to see why they would want to blame the burning town on her. I knew she didn't burn the city, I had seen who had set fire to it. A man that was 5'6" and a couple of inches taller than me. Flashback He had black hair with an red-orange tint. His hair was spiky like mine, which made him look taller than he actually was. His eyes were bright red and he had a black markings around his eyes. As I saw him burn the town I tried to attack him think that he might be some sort of a challenge for me. As I drew my katana he vanished, giving me an evil smirk. Then suddenly the whole town burst into flames, my house going with it. End of Flashback I shook my head clearing my mind as I crept after the guards and girl. I'm going to get that man, I vowed. He is the only opponent who seems worthy of my skills and I knew that I would find that man and kill him with my bare hands.

Corathir's POV

I looked up at my friend who came running into the store. "Corathir! The Priest of Demangil is here!" He says panting. "What? Since when?" I asked standing up. "He just got in. There's going to be a parade for him. Come out and look!" He says running back out into the street. I ran after him and saw crowds of people on either side of the street. "What's he doing here?" I asked him. "How should I know?" He said shrugging and looking back into the street. I looked as well and saw an old man, sitting on top of a horse. He had red robes outlined with gold thread. He looked at the crowd and waved. I stepped out a little further so I could get a better look and then tripping on the stone road, I feel right in front of the priest. His horse stopped right next to me.

He got off of his horse and bent down to help me up off the ground. Taking his hand I stood, noticing that I was shorter than the priest. He smiled at me and said "You are the chosen one. You must keep Pyro from stealing the Blade of Endless Flame." "What!" I asked shocked. "The Blade of Endless Flame could destroy the world in the wrong hands, but save man-kind in the right. You have the will-power. You must travel to Maluzo, there you will find others that will join your quest. " With that he got back on his horse and began to ride away. I starred at him in disbelief, until he turned around and said "Your fly is undone!" And then rode away. I fell to the ground in shock as the crowd laughed. How am I going to explain this to Kirya?

Kirya's POV

As I walk down a dirt road towards the city, I try to fix my sandal. I pass a priest and I stopped to look up at him and he stopped in front of me smiling. "Your part of the group." He says smiling again. I starred at him blankly trying to decide if he was crazy. He could tell by my blank stare that I had no idea what he was talking about so he said "You will be joining a group they have a hero, a warrior, a wanderer and a animal tamer." "Ok..." I said deciding that this guy was definitely weird. I could tell he was getting mad as he yelled "Oh my god! You're as thick headed as that boy! Okay you will be joining Corathir on a quest to get a sword only he can use and you will have people to help you and go travel to the place." "Oh cool, when do we start?" I asked. "Tomorrow." And he rides off mumbling to himself. Something about me but I just shrugged and began to skip into town. Unfortunately I end up tripping on a rock. Grrr! I swear it can out of nowhere!
