Chapter 1: Introductions

A/N The picture at the top is the full cover picture.

Wyntr

I whipped my head around to see an arrow fly right past my head and into a nearby tree. The forest was deathly quiet.

REALLY?! PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO KILL ME ALREADY?!

I quietly pulled my bow off my back and loaded an arrow before receiving another arrow in a tree nearby. I show my arrow in the persons general direction before hearing a frightened "eep!" I quickly ran towards the sound and stopped when I saw a girl with long black hair, hazel eyes and a long purple dress. She had a bow in hand but it looked like she had no more arrows. I put my bow back over my shoulders and I slowly approached her.

Aphmau

I'm out of arrows and I can hear footsteps behind me. I grip the wood of my bow tightly and slowly turn to face the person. What I see is a girl with teal hair tucked under a black hoodie, chocolate brown eyes, rainbow shirt, jeans, rainbow socks and slung across her back is a bow.

So she was who shot back.

"Hello?" I ask trying to be calm as I realized she had a diamond sword in her hand.

"Hello." She simply says.

She's not going to say anything about me shooting at her?

"Uh... My name is Aphmau... what's yours?" I ask a little nervously. She watches me for a second before replying.

"Wyntr, but my friends mostly call me Wyn." She says walking towards me.

"Where are your friends?" I ask taking out my mythril sword as I hear the growls of zombies in the distance.

"Haven't figured that out yet." She glances around as if to look for the noises source.

"Same." I say, "Should we maybe find some place to stay. I mean it's getting late and all." She nods and we head off into the forest away from the zombie growls.

Misconduct

Where am I? And where is Niea?!

I glance around at the forest that surrounds me and sigh.

She must be here somewere.

I nod to myself and start to head of into the forest when I hear the sound of swords clashing. I sneak closer and pull out my diamond sword. I finally approach a clearing where I find the fight taking place. (A/N I need more eggnog. Help) In the center of the clearing was a man with short brown hair, dark green eyes, steam punk goggles on his head, a long brown coat, a purple under shirt, brown pants and gold boots on the left. On the right was a man with brown hair dark blue eyes, aviator goggles on his head, a long red coat with gold details on the shoulders and down the center, a plain white undershirt and black pants. Their diamond swords collided in the center. The one on the right pulled back and dashed around from the side almost catching the other off guard. There was another clash and their swords collided again.

"Hey!" I yelled trying to get their attention. It didn't work and they kept their swords firmly together.

"Creeper!" I yelled and they bother turned and looked behind them.

Works every time.

When they finally realized there was nothing behind them they turned towards me, swords still in hand.

"Hello?" I inquired. They both let out a sigh.

"Who are you?" The one in the long red coat asked and turned to face the one he was just fighting. "And you!"

"I'm Misconduct and I am looking for my friend Niea." I simply said glancing at them both.

"I'm Poet." The one in the brown coat replied. "Who are you?!" He pointed his sword towards the one in the long red cloak.

"My name is Arran and I am a skylord." He said matter-of-factly as if we should have known that.

"What exactly is a skylord?" Poet asked giving a confused glance to Arran.
