The Legend Of Rings

To do the impossible

Chapter 1

In the dark night, the wind blowing lightly. It was about midnight that in the silent forest, a dungeon exists. It was a cold night. There stood two shadows behind the trees in front of the thick large gate. Two guards were there on duty.

It was late at night and they both looked like they could sleep at any time given. One of them yawned. "Why does it have to be our turn in guarding this place? It's not like there will be people coming here in the middle of the night." The other person nodded in agreement. They started talking when they heard a little noise in the bushes. They got scared that there may be some wild animal and pulled out their weapons.

"Who's there?" One of them stated, "whatever you are come out." Their eyes set on the spot of the noise. The other one relaxed and put his weapon down." Relax. I think it must be some small animal lost its way. No need to get carried away."

The other one also relaxed. Just as they were about to get to their places, one got hit hard on the back of his head and fell down with a thud. The other one didn't get time to react when he was also hit by the same person.

Once they were both down, a person came from behind the shadow. " They're both down, check for the keys." Another figure came out of the bushes." They were easy but inside must be more guarded." The former was already unclotheing one of the guards. They draged the bodies aside.

They were fast in movement. They quickly changed their clothes and went in blending into the shadows. They made quick and quite steps. Looking right and left for the other guards then going in further. If they saw someone coming, they would cover their faces with a mask and act like the guards. They saw many places were heavily guarded. It means that there were more dangerous monsters kept in there.

They walked further in there and there was a door with no guards at all. They both nodded at each other and slowly walked towards the door. The door looked like any other door with an exception of a stone carved in there. It was red in colour.

The reason why there were no guards was this stone. It was a mana stone with shield magic. When the later tried to touch it, he was hit by an electric shock. He quickly pulled back. Then the former looked through his bag and gave him a transparent stone. The later took it and attached it with the red mana stone. There was a red light glowing and in an instant it vanished. The originally red stone lost its colour and became a white stone engraved there. The door open with a little tik and they both went in quickly.

The room was even more dark with only a faint light of moon coming inside from the tiny window above. The two figures moved their gaze to a large sleeping being. It was trapped in many chains. There were chains around its neck,claws and one on its mouth. The room was covered in scars of its claws. There was rotten smell. It was very suffocating.

They gluped at the sight. The later moved closer to it. In an instant it's eyes open and glared at the figure in front of him. The person was frozen at their eyes meeting. The former looked at his companion and at the source of glare. He slowly walked reaching out his hand. " Easy there. We're not here to hurt you in any way." He made eye contact with it.

The later stood there silently watching this. The former stretched out his hand in attempt to Pat its head. The creature looked at the hand and glared at the man in front. It let out a deep yet scary growl. The man stoped but then again tried to come closer.

" I told you that we won't hurt you." The creature retreated and let out another growl.
" I won't hurt you... instead I will help you get out of here." The creature stoped, looked at the man and showed his distrust in it's eyes.

"You don't trust me,is that it? Alright, I wouldn't trust a stranger tring to help me either."
He looked at it's eyes and continued " But..I want to get you out of here." He looked at his companion and he gave him the same stone used before at opening the door. Then the man turned to the creature. He streched out his hand to touch its neck. It again growld at the man but did not resist. It seemed that it somewhat have a little trust in him. It obviously wants to be free.
