chapter 1 An unlikely friend

As they sat underneath the stars with the crimson sparks dancing happily into the sky they made a pact . This was to say more of an unspoken promise to never desert each other . Riley, only 15 but he has had to grow up fast as his parents were both wanted criminals all through Alexandria. He has been on the run with only his fathers sword for company. His long brown hair platted down to his lower back and the clothes that were once white now were covered in sand and dirt, but yet he still had a feel of elegance about him. His deep brown eyes full of revenge and grief.
For he now was on the path of vengeance. His blade, thick at the hilt but thinned down the gentle curve and a barb shaped flick on the top, the handle was in the shape of a tigers claw that held a red ribbon and the hilt, a ring encrusted with rubies and emeralds. This sword was that of the royal guardian and it held powers deep within but these could only be reached with the skill of the wielder.
