Chapter One: Wolfwing has returned...
Lyra couldn't stop the devious smile that formed on her face as her blue crystal sword slashed a Blood Maggot in half. The woman glanced over her shoulder to see her friend, Lance render a dire wolf helpless as he pulled a hair off of the large creature. Lance was a fire Mage that she had met when she first embraced her power of the light. They got along well, even though Lance had chosen Evil and she had chosen to serve Good, but he had assured her that he was saving up his gold to pay the contact to Good. Lance had dark dirty blonde hair that was spiked up and two of the greenest eyes in Lore. Lyra often tensed him that his hair looked like a bunch of blonde thorns on the top of his head.
"You ready to talk with Z?"
Lance nodded eagerly and the pair began to walk slowly towards the gates of the Darkovia forest.
Shadowslayer Z was standing at the gates that separated the Darkovia graveyard and its forest, under a tall tree. She had dark blonde hair like Lance, but hers was flat and cut at an angle because of the slightly pointed hat on her head. Her dark sword was always by her side, which was little surprise to both Lyra and Lance because Darkovia forest had many dangerous creatures within, it would be an unwise choice to go unarmed. Silver runes were carved on the blade to drive away creatures of the dark.
"Hey Z." Lyra greeted walking up to her. Lance dragged the bag that carried the items Z had asked for and dropped them at her feet.
"That is all you asked for." He breathlessly spoke and Z nodded, impressed.
"We Shadowslayers admire both your courage and power. You're one of the ones who defeated both Wolfwing and the Dracowerepire without assistance."
"When you do what we do Z," Lyra stated, sheathing her sword into its' place on her hip.
"You learn how to fend for yourself."
"Maybe, but it seems your power is needed again here in Darkovia." Z said and both of the heroes straightened up.
"What do you mean by that?" Lance asked curious and Z gravely told them.
"Wolfwing has returned."
"What?" Both of the heroes gasped. Z nodded.
"Yes, it seems the Vampires and the Lycans must unite again to win."
The two heroes nodded and set off back into the forest towards the looming dark castle in the distance. There, Safiria awaited.
Drakath smiled as the two heroes dashed though the forest. The orb then flashed to Wolfwing's home. The purple-furred werepire walked eagerly around his room.
"Well Wolfwing, I hope that you remember your side of the bargain. Take out the hero, but bring the heroine to me, alive and well." Drakath whispered to the orb.
"Then you will be handsomely rewarded." His laugh then echoed eerie loud and all around the place.
A/N: Ugh, this took forever Xp, Dam writer's block. So sorry I've been utterly busy the last few days. I intend to get some major writing done this weekend, since its a long weekend and summer's around the corner =D. So yes, Two things I want to say, I'm pretty sure I spelled Lycans wrong. If I did, please tell me. And I was playing on the Doomwood release and I thought I should do stories on Lance and Lyra and how they met and stuff like that. That would be interesting. Well This was the first chapter of The Book of Lore. The next one is with Safiria, Queen of the Vampires. So see you then
TTFN!
