It has been nearly a year since the capture of Volcanon. The people of rune midgard were desperate for the defeat of the evil goddess Fenris. Many courages warriors and mages had die at the hand of Fenris’s general while trying to storm her castle no one had ever make it out of the castle alive.

People were living in fear as each day passes with news of death and destructions. Many towns and village were destroyed and many people were killed. Until now, only the capital city Prontera and the sub cities were able to hold fort of the demon’s attack. However, this day was coming to an end sooner then Fenris had thought it would be.

The satellite city of Prontera, Izulde.

On the far eastern side of the city, a paladin and a lord knight were practicing their skill through sparring when the paladin knock out the lord knight with his shield.

“Are you all right Alicia?” came Drake worried voice

Alicia groaned and open her eye and saw Drake worried face looming before her.

“What happen?” she ask as she tried to sit up

“I think I knock you too hard over the head.” Drake answered anxiously “Are you sure you are alright?” he asked as he helped her up

“I guess so,” she moaned, as they started moving, her head still spinning.

“I think I better get you an acolyte” Drake said as he help her to a nearby bench. “Wait here” he said and ran off.

Alicia rests her head over the bench, absorbing in the peacefulness of the town. Her hand over her eyes to cover out the bright sun light. After awhile, she stand up and cross over to her spear “lavaridge”, her prize procession, and examine it hoping it was not damage in anyway when she heard foot step approaching. She look up and saw Drake dragging a young acolyte towards her.

When the acolyte saw Alicia, he approach her, touch her forehead and mumble a chant for a quick healing spell and left. Drake thanks him and return to Alicia.

“Feeling better now?” he ask looking at Alicia

“I guess so” she replied.

“I better get you home” Drake said

Alicia was about to argue when the look on Drake’s face silence her and she allowed herself to be taken home by Drake. After Drake left, she laid down her bed too tired to even bother to remove her armor, planning to take a nap before making dinner. When she doze off, she found herself in a dark room.

Slowly, a small fire appear which grew bigger and bigger until it reach the height of an average human. A Lord knight step out of the flame, drew out his sword and begin charging towards Alicia. Alicia was in a state of shock when she found herself holding her spear.

She held out her weapon to block the first blow and step into battle stance, stabbing the Lord knight with the tip of her spear. The lord knight dance out of her attacked easily making Alicia annoyed. He then pull out another sword and held down out in a cross and brought them down creating a slicing wave through the air.

The air wave crash into Alicia and she was knock backward. The lord knight took the chance and continue his assault by slashing both his sword at Alicia directions only to be block by her spear. Then Alicia jump away from the range of attack and throw her spear like a boomerang towards the lord knight. The lord knight once again jump out of the attack charge towards the weaponless Lord knight before him when Alicia whipped out a small dagger and dove it through the gut of the Lord knight.

The lord knight stop in his track and look down at the dagger, blood dripping from it. He pulls the dagger out with a groan, threw it away and advance towards Alicia. Alicia alarm that the lord knight doesn’t seems bother with the damage once again step into a battle stance when the lord knight spoke.

“Its okay, I will not harm you” he say putting both swords back into their cases.

“Who are you” Alicia asked, refusing to let her guard down, still clutching the spear in her hand.  

“My name is Flame” the lord knight introduce, “one of the 12 guardian of the god Volcanon. I have come to make you my successor, chosen one.”

“What do you mean,” Alicia asked, this time curiosity got over her.

“I mean, it is now your job to save the world with the other chosen successor from the remaining 11 guardians by freeing Volcanon from Fenris hand. 

“Huh?” was all Alicia could manage

“Get to the peak of mount Yuno,” someone will guide you there. Just look out for this special marking,” Flame said as he showed her the marking of a wing. “Its all up to you now, the chosen one.” With that he vanish and Alicia woke up with a shock.

She got up from her bed and move to open the window. “Is that a dream,” she asked herself “but it seems so real” She put away her weapon and armor and set about to making her dinner. At the same time, similar thing was happening to Drake.
