Chapter Two, Secrets and Surprises

Prontera

The bustling city was just waking up. There were hardly any people in the streets, only a few merchants and some shady looking customers. In this sleepy crowd two people stood out.

An Assassin Cross and Wizard were wide awake. They ignored the crowd and the good equipment for sale. It was obvious they weren't here to buy things.

They started walking North.

Prontera Royal Library

Inside the library there was a bustle of activity guards, knights, wizards and priests were roaming around. Apparently guarding something, something important.

One of the priests who appeared to be the leader spoke up "Now remember be alert. The Juno library was robbed last night. This book is one of the only two remaining." He said as he pointed to a heavy looking black book with writing in an ancient language.

"Personally I think we have too many people here Naix" A night said facing the priest

Naix Dottus was a priest and a very dedicated one. He was known far and wide for his talent. But he was even more known for his temper.

"Do not underestimate our enemy" Naix shrieked. "Do you think the book walked out of Juno and 20 sages, 20 wizard and 10 crusaders just let it slip! Half of them are out cold in the Juno infirmary!"

That was when two men burst in. An Assassin Cross and a Wizard. They approached the column were the black book was kept. The guards were alert, watching both and blocked them off "This section is closed" A Knight said then the Wizard suddenly spoke up.

"We are here to steal that black book. Please stand down or else we will have to get rough."

The pair was soon surrounded. Naix approached "Stand down" he said sternly.

The wizard just smiled and raised his hand

"LEX DIVINA!" all the priests had casted simultaneously and had silenced the wizard. Almost simultaneously the Knights then plunged in to take down the Assassin Cross.

FIREWALL! screamed the assassin cross and the Knights were thrown in every direction as they came into contact with a wall of fire.

"What the…" shock reverberated around the room. "How did he do that!" a few wizards chorused when they were suddenly struck down, blood spurting everywhere.

All that they saw was the wizard reaching into his cloak, pull out a dagger and lunge at the wizards. The wizard was quick, probably quicker that an assassin and then the wizards fell.

In a moment the wizard had lunged for the Knights who were just about to get up and started dueling with them!

"HEAVEN'S DRIVE!" spikes rushed out of the floor and knocked out most of the priests. The Assassin Cross had just casted the spell! He then grabbed the black book and looked at his partner, who just nodded since no words would still come out.

"LEX DIVINA" the spell hit the Assassin Cross and silenced him.

"ICEWALL" A huge ice made of wall suddenly blocked the path.

The pair looked around. Those who could still stand were slowly surrounding them.

Naix approached the pair while rubbing off dirt from his clothes.

"Well I don't know how you managed that. I have seen you use skills that neither of you should know. You are exceptional, too bad you choose to be on the wrong side. You will be taken away to the dungeons" Naix said while motioning for the knights to take the two.

"Now drop you weapons" Naix said.

The pair just stood there. Suddenly the Wizard smiled. Almost as quick as lightening he took out a bottle from his cloak, lit it and threw it towards the opposition

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

Naix had just enough time to hold up his hands to shield his eyes from the explosion. He stood up to chase the pair but it was too late they had already fled.

"No, now I'm gonna have to explain this to the king"

Outside Prontera

The assassin cross and wizard who had raided the Pronteran library were laughing.

"How long do you think before they figure out that we are part of the Banished Ones?" the assassin cross asked.

"I think just enough long enough before they realized that we switched uniforms" the wizard said, saying his thoughts aloud.

"Well I hope they don't realize that it wasn't just the uniforms and realizes that we are a bigger threat than they think." The assassin cross mused

"Let's hope not!"

Prontera Castle, Royal Chambers

The king was sitting on his desk working away as usual when he was interrupted by a knock on the solid oak doors.

"Who is it?" the king asked looking up from his desk

"Your majesty it's me Naix"

"Enter" the king said as he stood up. This was obviously important since he knew Naix would never abandon his post.

"Sire, the library was raided, It was an assassin cross and wizard. They were using skills that they shouldn't have known. As far as we can deduce they switched uniforms. We almost captured them but they threw a bomb and escaped." The priest said as he kneeled in front of the King.

"What about casualties" The king asked

"Just like in Juno sir, they were careful, most of the men are out cold but no deaths."

"And the book"

"Taken sir"

"Send word to Geffen, tell them that they are next" the king said practically panicking.

"At once sir!" the priest said as he turned around.

"Naix! You will go to Geffen to oversee the situation. I will send Lord Knight Francis with you."

"Yes sir! But if you send me to Geffen, shouldn't I at the very least shouldn't I know what the books contain sir."

"Very well, as a priest you should be informed that the books are unholy, they contain ancient spells an the history of Glastheim. Legends say that those who hold all books will release an ancient secret. In the past we didn't bother guarding it since only three out of the five books are known. But now it seems someone has found the other two and it seems that they are enemies."

Glastheim

Deep in the dungeons of Glastheim there was a wizard standing lazily as if he was waiting for his best friend in some park. But this was no park this was Glastheim!

A Khalitzberg soon approached him. It swung it's arms at him but it the wizard had taken out his wand and parried the sword! The wizard then teleported or at least it seemed that way since he moved with inhuman speed behind the Khalitzberg. He held out his hand lazily and bolts of fire rained down instantly. The Khalitzberg was soon dead, again.

"You have unusual powers for a human." Echoed an unearthly metallic voice from a looming figure ahead.

"It's about time, I got tired of waiting for you" the wizard replied in an emotionless voice to the figure that had appeared. A ghost of a horse and a huge knight, THE LORD OF DEATH!

"Insolent boy" The huge demon launched itself at the boy but again it was too fast. The wizard held out his had and shadows engulfed him. Dark spirits then shot out from him. Hitting the monster though it registered some pain the monster just shrugged it off. The demon slowly lowered his weapon.

"Haha! So it is true, you are not a human. You are just like you father. Yet you chose to go with your mother's profession."

"Don't ever speak of her again, the lowly woman!" the blond wizard shouted

"So be it, what do you want that you came all the way here and caused havoc just to attract me." Said the hollow voice again

"My father sent me, the Doppleganger sent me. It is time!"

That day maniacal laughter was heard throughout all of Glastheim.
