400 years before
"DRAGON KNIGHTS!" A tall, fair skinned woman in gold accented black armor roared . Behind her, a host of knights clad in silver , red, and gold armor readied their weapons . Te door before her was sealed shut , but the force banging against it would soon change that .
" TODAY WE FIGHT! AND TODAY MANY OF US WILL DIE! BUT THIS BEAST WILL NOT ESCAPE OUR MIGHTY TEMPLE! " the necklace she had hung , hidden , beside the door would see to that . When she died, as she knew she was fated to, her soul would be absorbed by the gem and seal the beast for all eternity. With it sealed away, its forces would fade away. BOOM! With a mighty crack the doors fell open, and roaring he draconic war cry she charged against the black.
December 1st, present day
Nick grunted softly as he squatted , grabbing his large brush from his belt and continued this week long attempt of cleaning the inscription on the wall of this temple . It was deep underground, almost a quarter mile beneath the Great Wall. Damn it's hot down here....... Nick thought as he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead . Slowly , his brush uncovered more of the inscription ...... And a pendent .
" Huh?" He muttered, rubbing his thumb across the still perfect steel. Steel, and green jade . .
" Did ya find anything?" An Irish voice sounded down the hallway . Nick plucked the necklace from its resting place , and slipped it into his pocket .
". No sir, nothing." Nick called forward
" Nothing at all." As Nick walked out, he thought about how this necklace would make a perfect gift for his sons 18th birthday.
