"Good morning Arcadia oaks, as summer is coming to an end, we all hope that nothing strange will happen, like a monster army attack, a giant alien or a random castle falling from the sky. Yep, I'm sure this time things will be normal around in Arcadia."
A boy wakes up from his bed, he has fair skin, blonde spiky hair and blue eyes, with a skinny body. He took a big stretch and gets up, he then puts on a green long sleeve shirt with black trousers and shoes. He then was in the bathroom brushing his teeth, and then he went downstairs.
"Morning mum." the boy said to a woman, she had blue eyes with blonde short hair with a small ponytail, she wears a pink shirt, blue trousers and black shoes. "Oh, good morning, Roland." the mother replied. "Where's dad?" Roland asked as he gets out a bagel that has Sesame Seed on it. "Your father is in the garden." she said as she takes a sip of her tea.
"Ok then... what about Ross and Laurens?" Roland asked again as he's slicing the bagel and putting in the toaster. "Well, Ross is in town, helping, and Laurens is going to an audition." Roland's mother replied. "Heh, lucky for me that my first day at school since we moved here gets cancelled because of a falling castle." Roland said as his mother sigh. "Don't remind me. It's bad enough that you won't get your education, but how are you going to be able to get any new friends?" she replied.
"I don't think that's needed to be worried about, mum." Roland replied as his mother sighed, as the bagel pop out the toaster, Roland put butter and marmite on, he then went to the couch and turned on the TV.
-meanwhile-
At the Arcadia airport, a boy with Brown hair and green eyes with beige skin, step out the arrivals lounge, he wears a black hoodie with dark blue trousers and black shoes. The boy was holding a Field Bag, he then went into a taxi and gives the address to the driver, as the taxi drives off.
-meanwhile-
In Arcadia oaks town square, Roland is taking a walk, looking at all the shops around, seeing the food and items for sale. He then walks pass a taco truck, where a lot of people and lining up for.
"Huh, must have popular food there?" Roland said to himself as he walked by it. He then went to town to look around, however it made him bump into someone. "oof, sorry about that." Roland apologize. "Don't worry, happens to everyone." the person said, revealing to be Jim Lake with Claire Nuñez and Toby Domzalski behind him.
"But still, I should've watch where I was going." Roland said as he rubs the back of his head. "Hay, I don't think I've seen you around here before?" Toby said. "Yeah, my family and I moved here 2 weeks ago." Roland replied.
"Oh, well, welcome to Arcadia oaks then." Claire said. "Oh ummmmm, thank you." Roland said. "Anyway, I got to go, nice meeting you three."
-meanwhile-
In Arcadia's Hotel, a porter lady opens the room for the brown hair boy as she gives him his room key. "ok, so we have snacks, a mini fridge, and a safe to keep your valuable items safe." the porter lady said. "Ah thank you." the brown hair boy replied. "It's our pleasure, and we thank you for choosing Sweet Dreams Hotel and hope you have a wonderful time here." the porter lady said before she leaves the room.
The brown hair boy then open his Field Bag and took out a communication earpiece, he then puts it on his ear and turn it on.
-meanwhile in England-
In a computer office, a woman is sitting in her desk, she has fair skin, with black hair, and sable eyes, she wears a red V-Neck Shirt, black tube skirt, red shoes and black glasses. Her earpiece then rings as she answered it.
"Hay there, Erik." the woman said. "Sydney." Erik replied as he took out some equipment out of his bag. "So, you made it to Arcadia, how was the journey?" Sydney asked. "It was pretty quiet. I just hope the mission will be too." Erik said as he checks the equipment. "Man, you are so lucky that you get to relax in a high class hotel, whiles I'm stuck here doing work." Sydney said in annoyance as she straightened her glasses. "Well, I am one of the top agent, of course I will get special treatment." Erik replied. "ok, Mr. James Bond." Sydney said in a sarcastic tone in her voice as Erik rolls his eyes.
"Anyway, this mission is simple, all you have to do is wait for the sapphire moon to appear, and then you have to find the cave." Sydney said as she typed in the keyboard. "Got it." Erik replied. "Although, what happens if you run into trouble?" Sydney ask. "Well, I know that the Janus Order no longer have their base here, due to Gunmar destroying their hideout." Erik replied. "Beside, if I do find trouble, I'm sure I can take care of it." he then picks up a black and gold pen and put it on the side of his belt.
-later-
Roland was heading home as the sky turned night, he walked in the empty road, he then noticed an odd blue light in the sky as he realized that the moon is all Blue. "Wait, is the moon supposed to look like that?" Roland said to himself as then blue mist appear. "ok, this is unusual." Roland said as he walks to the mist, Erik then went into the blue mist, as he was wearing a Visor Glasses, he then saw Roland walking by as Erik hides behind a tree. "What is a kid doing here?!" Erik whispers to himself as he carefully tails him.
Roland tries to see through the mist until he found him self a cave with some odd looking rocks. "Are those, henges?" Roland said as he sees that the cave have stairs in it as Roland went it the cave.
Roland then took out his phone and turn on the flash. He then sees some markings on the wall. "What are these markings?" Roland asked as he follows the stairs, he then enters a room, there he sees a sword with a gold handle with blue on it and a silver blade on a pedestal, behind it is a giant orange crystal. Roland's jaw drop, as he takes pictures of the crystal until he sees a shadow. Roland then takes a closer look and realized that a girl is in the crystal.
His eyes widened in shock. "What!?" Roland said as he went over to the crystal. "Hey, lady, are you alive in there?!" Roland asked before he then picks up a rock and tries smashing the crystal, however the rock he was using break in two, he then throws it away as he tried to think on how he can get the girl out.
-meanwhile-
Erik was outside the cave as he ponders. "Why did that kid go in that cave? Is he a Changeling? No, that's impossible, all the Changeling's Familiar are no longer in the Darklands, so he can't be one." Erik said before he enters the cave slowly and carefully as he took out the pen.
Roland was pacing back and forth, trying to think of how he can get that girl out, until he then realized about the sword. "Wait, what if this sword is also a key?" Roland said as he holds the handle and tries to pull it out. Erik then made it to the bottom of the stairs, he hides behind the entrance, as he then peeked out and see Roland trying to pull the sword.
The sword then start moving as Roland pulls it harder, as it came out of the pedestal. Roland falls over, as the cave shake, then the crystal starts cracking and then shattered as it then burst out a magic wave.
-meanwhile-
Jim, Claire and Toby were walking back home until Claire turned, sensing the magic.
-meanwhile in New York-
Douxie, Archie and the disguised Nari then sense the magic wave. "Do you feel that, Douxie?" Nari ask. "Yeah, I did." Douxie replied. "hmmmm, quite unusual." Archie said as the cat pushes his glasses up.
-meanwhile in a top of a building of New York-
the arcane order appeared, as Skrael notice the magic wave. "did you sense that Bellroc?" Skrael ask in Curious. "forget about that, we must find Nari." Bellroc said as they teleport in fire, Skrael then shrugs it off as they teleport as well in ice.
-meanwhile-
a girl turned, she has red hair and fair skin. she wears a red and black shirt and a gold necklace with a round red gem, above it, is a gold necklace in a shape of a snake that has a small red gem on it as a eye. as she smiled.
-meanwhile-
a mysterious figure in armor with a purple cape notice the energy, as a black armor boy with purple neon was leaning on a wall. "well now, this is going to be fun" the black armored boy said.
-back at the cave-
The girl came out of the crystal. She had fair skin with red lipstick on, with a long black hair that ends to her waist, she wears a dark blue dress with gold accessories and white wide bell sleeve and a gold tiara.
The girl then collapse as Roland quickly run to her and catch her in his arms. "ummmmm?... miss?... are you alive?..." Roland asks before the girl move her head, she then slowly open her eyes, revealing she has green eyes. Her first site after awaken was Roland's face.
"Are... are you the knight who set me free?" she asked as her eyes sparkle as she had her hand on Roland's face, Roland then blush and look at her hand with the corner of his eye, as he then looked back at the girl. "ummmm, I did get you out, buuut I'm not really a knight?" Roland said as the girl tilts her head. "Really?" she then sits up "what is your name, may I ask?" she said "oh, I'm Roland Whittingham" Roland replied. "And you?" he asked.
"Well I'm..."
"That is Princess Valentina Pendragon."
They then look around before seeing Erik came in. "ummmmm, hello? Who are you?" Roland ask. "The name is Erik Volturcius... And you, kid, have entered a world beyond your understanding." Erik said, as Roland has a confused look on his face.
