Chapter 1


+ The fall of Volcanon +

  “Look, all I wanted is half of the land and you are refusing that for your people” Fenris, a tall, slim and beautiful goddess of the moon and darkness, argued.

  Volcanon, the god of Sun and light, tall and well build set down his cup of tea on a smooth marble table, sigh and look up at the angry face of Fenris.

  “I told you a hundred time Fenris, I can’t give half of the land to you because that will be going against Goddess Nature will” he said looking intently at Fenris as though expecting what her reply will be. When she didn’t reply, he continued “Beside your people have been killing my people for millions of years since the born of the world. It is only right for them to at least own the land.”

“Fine I will get my hand on the world if it is the last thing I do.” Fenris said angrily before leaving the room.

Volcanon watched as Fenris walk out and disappeared.

“Aqua, I know you are here,” he said as he picked up his cup of tea

A puddle of water begins to form on the ground and a figure appear out of it and materialize into a man who looks like a Paladin

“Master” he bow and waited for his master to comment

“What do you think?” Volcanon ask slipping away at his tea

“What do you mean master?” Aqua ask uncertain of what his master meant

“What do you think Fenris will do?” Volcanon ask, wearing a smile on his face

“I am not sure but do you think it is wise to let her be?” Aqua question staring intently at his master expecting an answer

“Yes, it is part of the prophecy” he answered

“What prophecy?” Aqua asked

“You will soon find out” he reply before dismissing Aqua

After Aqua left, he turn to look out of his window at the blue sky and clam wind, deep in thought.


Meanwhile,

“Generals” Fenris said, her voice echoing through the dark dungeon “What do you all have to say in this?” she asked as she set down on her throne.

“My lady” Dark lord bow as he step out of his position “It is not possible to kill Volcanon as he possesses power far beyond normal mortal or demon”

“So?” Fenris snapped impatiently.

“So if we killed off his 12 guardian, he would be defenseless and my lady could seal him up” the dark lord finish to murmurs of agreement from various other demon generals.

“hmm” Fenris look at her general thoughtfully, considering his suggestion “In this case, Dark lord I will put you in charge of killing his guardians. Work with the other generals and I will see to Volcanon personally.

Dark lord bow to mean that he understood, beckon to a few other generals and left the dungeon. Fenris stood up from the throne, dismiss the remaining generals and left for her room.


The next day,

“FLAME!!!” someone shouted into Flame ear

“What, what” he muttered as he open his eyes to identify the person before him, half awake.

“We are under attack” the voice said hurriedly

“What!” Flame set up immediately, almost throwing a young man off him. “What do you mean Dream?” Flame asked as he quickly identified the person before him.

“I mean, Fenris’s generals are attacking us” Dream said desperately. “But we are holding off the attack quite well hopefully we can hold on till Ice came back with Volcanon”

Flame grab for his armors; put them on at a quick pace and dash out of the room, his spear in his hand with Dream hot on his heel.

Out at the Front yard, a fierce battle was taking place. Thousands and thousands of monsters were trying to stomp the entrance of the castle, which was well protected by the guardians.

“Spirit of wind, spirit of fire, spirit of water and spirit of earth, heed my plea and lend me your strength, Lord of Vermillion” Nature shouted as the orb on the tip of his staff glow, a sudden violent gale of wind and fire falls on the mobs of monster burning many.

“Keep it up” Aqua shouted as he slashes at a nearby monster. His partners were all spread out around the yard clearing as many monsters within the compound of the yard as possible as weapons, magical bolts and arrows fly in all directions across the yard.

“Thunder!” Darkness shouted as she slashes her way towards the fallen scholar.

Thunder grasp at her chest as her magical energy deplete through the constant casting of magical spells.

“Light!” Darkness shouted through the chaos attempting to reach their priestess whom was some distance away from them building more barrier on the giant gate to barricade further attempt of entering the castle. Failing to reach her, Darkness decides to bring Thunder to Light when an arrow shot her on her leg.

“Let me” Shadow whisper as he appear behind Darkness, his weapon soak with the monsters blood.

“You have enough problem on your plate to bother about us” Darkness argued, refusing to let Shadow take both Thunder and herself.

Shadow remains silent but shot his katar-chain weapon at a nearby monster charging towards them to proof his point.

Unable to find a fault in this, Darkness gave up and let Shadow carry both herself and Thunder to Light while Wind cover them from above with her prized falcon.

“Regroup around Light” Flame shouted as he arrived with Dream following closely behind him.

Desperate to gather around Light, the guardian slash, shot at or burn anything blocking their ways to Light.

“We can’t hold out much longer” Nature shouted above the din as she summon more homunculus monster to aid her in her fight while at the same time throwing fire and acid potions into the mob.

Ice suddenly appeared beside them to relate the bad news. “Volcanon had been captured by Fenris. He told me to tell you all to cast the final skill before he was caught” he said. “And he seems to know this was going to happen when I went to get him” he added.

“Are you sure he want us to cast that skill?” Light asked as she uses her holy skills to support her teammates.

“Certain” Ice swear as he punch at a monster

“Everyone ready?” Light ask, looking around at the group of 12  

“Yes” they shouted

“Cover me for awhile” Light said as she started drawing the magical field on the ground with the end of the wand. As soon as she finish drawing the magic circle, she started chanting the spell. “God of Sun and Light, our master whom we respect, give us your strength to protect us from harm”, “Basilica” she shouted. A invisible wall shot out of the ground and temporary block out all damage, covering them in a invisible shield

“Ok” Flame said anxiously “Stand at your respective position” he commanded as the rest hasten to obey

“Vanquish us in the name of light and let our spirit flow through our successor in the near future” they chanted and vanish in a puff of smoke.

The monster finally broke in with the generals in the lead. The Master of light and Sun, Volcanon has lost.
