Dark Sorcerer and the Blade of Light
Chapter 2
"A Hero in disguise..."
"Huah..." a brunette haired male awoke from bed, "Ah..." he sighed and took a deep breath, "I love that fresh Trampoli air..."
The youth stood up and walked down his steps,
KNOCK! KNOCK! His house door sounded,
"Raguna!" a girlish voice called out, "Oh Raguna!"
"I'm going..." the brunette grumbled, then opened the door, "Ah... it's you, Mist." he smiled,
"Yep!" Mist, a blonde haired young damsel, grinned, "Are you ready to go on an adventure?!" she said excitedly,
"It's not an adventure if we're just going to the beach." Raguna scoffed, "But sure... I'd like to catch some rays..." he stepped out.
"Ha ha!" Mist laughed, "I knew you would!" she then turned to a new presence,
"Mail's here, Raguna!" a blonde girl in a red suit appeared,
"Alright." Raguna said and reached for the envelope, "Thanks, Annette."
"No problem!" Annette responded, "Just tell me if you're going to send something!" she said and bolted off.
"Are you ready to go!?" Mist jumped up,
"Alright." Raguna chuckled, "Let me just pet Lupux first." he said and ran to his monster shed.
"Hmm..." Mist sighed and waited for him,
"RAF!" a silver wolf burst out of the building, "Ruf! Ruf!" it barked,
"Alright, Lupux." Raguna said as he held his brush, "Take a breather..." he brushed the monster, "Now go!" he patted him.
"Raf!" Lupux barked and dashed back inside.
"Ready!" Raguna said and the two went off to the beach.

"Well... Well... Well..." Brodik said as the two entered, "I see the two lovebirds finally arrived!"
"Took you long enough!" Rosetta growled, "We're waiting for you all!"
"We're not lovers!" Raguna yelled at the Sechs warrior, "I told you once and I won't repeat myself!"
"Relax." Rosetta said and handed him hammer, "Just smash the watermelon..."
"Alright..." Raguna growled as Cinnamon placed a blind fold on him,
"Go, Raguna!" Mist cheered as Raguna lumbered his way down.
"To the left!" Brodik lied to the youth, "To the left!"
"To the right!" Rosetta yelled, "Your right, Raguna!"
"Enough of this!" Raguna said, and stood still, "Hm..." he concentrated, then located the Runic signature of the watermelon, "AH HA!" he yelled and jumped up high.
SPLAT! The watermelon was crushed brilliantly by the brunette,
"Woah!" Brodik said in surprise,
"Amazing!" Cinnamon added, "That... was... cool."
"Great job, Raguna!" Mist clapped, "You win again!"
"It's nothing, really." Raguna chuckled, "This game is just really easy!"
"It must be because you're an Earthmate!" Mist said, "You have such great abilities!"
"Enough with the flirting!" Brodik taunted,
"Why you!" Raguna yelled and ran after him,
"Nyahahahaha!" Brodik laughed as he was being chased.

"Is it time, my lord?" a dark voice called out to a black hooded figure,
"It is..." the figure responded, "Prepare my forces..."
"Will do." the dark voice muttered, and footsteps were heard exiting.
"It has begun..." the figure said, then laughed evilly.

"Hrah!" Raguna yelled as he trained in the beach, it was around sunset,
SCHLING! He cleaved a pumpkin in two with his sword,
"Amazing job." a voice called out to him, revealing a black robed gray haired girl walking towards him,
"Ah! Iris!" Raguna turned, "Wasn't expecting you here!"
"Relax, I just came to hang around here for a bit." Iris said as she walked over to the changing room, "You can continue."
"Alright." Raguna said and turned his back, seeing Iris was already inside, "Hm..." he chuckled, then focused.
In a bluish outline was Iris, who was changing herself.
"Hehehehe." Raguna laughed like a schoolboy, using his Rune sense to spy on illicit things,
"I don't think you should do that..." a voice came to him, it was Iris, who contacted him via the Rune Field, "You pervert!"
"Bwah!" Raguna yelled, "What!?"
"I have that ability too!" Iris finally came out in her swimsuit, "You nasty!"
"It was unintentional!" Raguna excused himself, "Please! I-"
"Enough!" Iris growled, "Why yo-" she paused when a fiendish black portal appeared on the sea.
"What!?" Raguna said in shock as the portal spawned a monster before disappearing.
"KRANK!" a dark Golem creaked as it moved in life,
"What in the world!?" Iris said, "A monster!?"
"It's a lot different than a regular golem..." Raguna said, noting it's darker aspect and glowing red knight armor helmet slit, "Step back." he covered Iris.
"KRANKAN!" the dark golem caught sight of them, "TINTINTIN!" it raised its hands, "POOOM!" it launched its fists.
"DWAH!" Raguna yelled as he was struck,
"Ha!" Iris gasped, "Raguna!"
"Agh!" Raguna landed on the soft beach sand, "What... Ah..." he groaned and stood up, "Damn..."
"TOODOODOO!" the dark golem advanced to Iris, "SHWEOOO!" it launched its hands once more, but not in attack, but in capture.
"Hey!" Iris screamed as she was grabbed,
"No you don't!" Raguna appeared and struck the monster in the back,
"TOOOO!" the golem booped in pain and released the vampirette, "TOOTOO!" it turned in anger to Raguna,
"Hrah!" Raguna went for the monsters legs,
"SHWEOO!" the dark Golem managed to disappear completely, shocking the two!
"What!?" Raguna said as he looked around for his target, "Hm..." he concentrated once more,
"Raguna!" Iris screamed as the dark golem reformed out of Raguna's shadow, "Watch out!"
"Huh!?" Raguna turned to see his attacker, "WAHH!" he was struck by the golem's fist,
"TOO TOOO!" the dark golem charged blindly to finish the Earthmate,
"Augh..." Raguna arose, "No!" he yelled and managed to evade the incoming attack,
"ROOOO!" the dark golem turned, then sunk into the ground in shadow particles,
"Ah! There he goes again!" Iris warned,
"I can't see where it is!" Raguna yelled, "My Rune sense isn't picking him up!"
"TROOO!" the dark golem appeared in the shadow cast by the changing house, "KRANKAN!" it creaked and used its arms to grab Raguna from afar,
"AH!" Raguna yelled as he was captured, "RAH!" he screamed when the golem crushed him in a bear hug.
"Raguna!" Iris screamed, "Hold on!" she yelled and launched an ice volley towards the monster.
"BOO BOO BOOP!" the dark golem, quite damaged by the magic, released the Earthmate in pain,
"Let's finish you off!" Raguna turned, "HA!" he have a huge swing with his shortsword, striking the golem in the chest, piercing it.
"DROOOOOOO..." the golem droned, then collapsed in pieces...
00000000
"Are you alright?" Iris asked Raguna, who was quite pounded and beat,
"Just a potion and I'll be good." Raguna groaned as he sat down, "What was that thing?"
"I don't know..." Iris grumbled, "It was no ordinary monster... It was using the shadows to teleport."
"I noticed..." Raguna sighed, "I couldn't pick it up with my Rune sense too! That's unreal!"
"Hopefully no more appear..." Iris chuckled, "Let's go home... You look beat..."
"No kidding." Raguna scoffed, "That golem was a tough one..."
00000000
"The Dark Sorcerer has been released, Ventuswill." a voice growled, "If he succeeds in finding the Sealed Palace... He will release him... and rule the world."
"What should we do, Terrable!?" another voice added, "We have no Hero to stop him! The bastard might have already released his scout shadow monsters to attack!"
"We have to stop him before he brings the bulk of his army." a third voice said, "We need to cut off his access to the world before he can enter it!"
"That's the problem..." a last voice, revealed by the light to be a large purple dragon, "He's already here..."
