Prologue: Part 2
The Sacred Prophecy
Chima, the Room of Artifacts
The Lion Temple
I'm looking for my father. Some things need to be taken care of, and because I am not of age yet, I cannot do them. I am in the Lion Temple, the hall of my ancestors. Statues of my ancestors line the hallway to the Throne Room, where the pool of Sacred Chi is kept. Chi is what we use for energy. It is a ball of blue colored energy that we use for practically everything. From our Speedors to in battle. There's only one room I have not been to, and that is the Room of Artifacts.
The Room of Artifacts is behind the Sealed Doors. What is behind those doors is lots of old weapons and maps. Chests line the walls, filled to the brim with swords and maces and armor. BANG. The twin doors close behind me, echoing for a few seconds. At the far end of the room, my father and the Lion Elders are gathered together underneath a stained-glass window. As I walk towards them, I can make out what they are saying. "Are you sure? The Lion has not been seen in ages! Why do you think he will return?" "Because, Lagravis, Cavora has spoken. As you know, we received word of the Phoenix tribe by Mt. Cavora, and we have received word that the 'Lion clothed in green' will return to Chima someday. When that day is, we cannot tell. It could even be today." My father nods and turns away from the group of Lions surrounding him to look at the window. A young Lion in green clothing is standing on a rock, holding a gleaming sword in his left paw and a magnificent shield in his right. Before him stands one of the Hunters, tribes that once roamed Chima. They returned recently, taking over certain areas and taking lots of hostages. Because of this, the leaders were captured, and my friends and I assumed rule of our tribes. We won though, and banished the Hunters from Chima forever. The Hunter that stands before the Lion was pretending to be a Hunter though.
The Hunter's name was Ganon, a beast only spoken of in the tales of old. Some even say that Ganon was there when Mt. Cavora rose up out of the ground to rest in the sky above the Lion Temple. Ganon was a boar/shapeshifter, and could do magic. He attacked the Phoenix Tribe with a force never before seen in Chima. A few hours later, most of Chima was under Ganon's control. All seemed lost, but then, out of nowhere, the Lion appeared.
Wielding the Blade of Evil's Bane, he fought Ganon in a fierce battle. He emerged victorious, and helped the primitive Tribes banish the Hunters away. Now, as I walk towards my father, who is still standing in front of the window, I wonder if he will ever return. "What are you doing in here, Laval? I thought I told you to stay in the Throne Room." "I know, but I felt as though I had to be in here." I walk past my father to the stained glass window. I gaze up at it, thinking of a time when this Lion roamed the fields that are outside. "Laval." I turn. My father is standing before me in his royal clothing. His staff is in his right paw, and his blue cape flows behind him. "Dad." He comes up to me and lifts his head to also gaze at the window. "Do you think he will return?" My father puts a paw on my shoulder. "I do not know. If he does, it is an instance of when, not why. Let us speak about things." I nod and my father leads me out of the Room of Artifacts.
