War of Light

Chapter 1

"Next!"The Recruiter Shouted, I moved up to him

"Name?" The recruiter asked not looking up from his paper.

"Alex Novoa." I Say meekly 

"Division?" The recuiter asks looking up.

I thought about it, I'm joining project Crusade which is made up of 6 Divisions: The Priests, The Paladins, The Mages, The monks, The Rangers, and The Shadows.

"Priests" I said.

"Alright, Sign here and report to Cleric 3rd class Roberts, Next!" The recuiter barked at me.

I left and looked around, I can't believe I'm here at Fort Horizon the Headquarters for Project crusade. It has been thirty years since the war of light began, how the world has changed now it seems the world has been taken over by Demons, Vampires, werewolves, The Undead, and the Burning Light. As I looked at this great steel fort I see the banners representing each Division. The fort, a city in itself at least forty miles each way. As I look at the line to see the recruiter its at least five hundred people, some dressed in beautiful clothes, and some in rags. When it comes to this it doesn't matter where you came from. I grip my recruitment papers and head to the priest sector, as I walk in through the gigantic archway labeled Priest Division I look around and see maybe forty people around. They are all either training, healing, wielding great staffs, or beating on training targets. Their white robes flowing, hoods covering most of their faces. I wonder how this can protect them, just as I finish my thought one shouts

"Activate Combat Mode!" The priest shouts.

All of a sudden their hoods emit a face hologram, their robes while still flowing steel armor with a light blue light lining appear on the shoulders, arms, chest, and legs. As I stand there amazed they begin chanting amazing spells, from calling down the power of the light itself, to controlling the darkness. I knew after seeing all this that I was in the right place. I turn to the building in front of me its a four story cathedral lined with amazing painted glass, showing priests of long ago banishing the darkness and learning to control their own darkness within.

"Welcome Brother you must be our new recruit, Alex I believe, I am Grand Priest Jacobs welcome it is good to have a new recruit as we see so few these days." he says as he smiles.

I looked at him, he towered over me with a great staff and mace at his right side a book on his left, his robe adored with blue lights and many runes and incantations. Suddenly I snapped back and stood at attention.

"Recruit Novoa, Reporting Grand Priest!" I said Stoic.

"Please relax, welcome it warms my heart to see you, I am so sorry to hear about your family you have my condolences." He said moving his hand up telling me to relax.

I remember back to that day its the reason I'm here and why I chose to be a priest in the first place. I ran so long till I couldn't anymore my city, my family, and my friends all burning around me everything was taken from me that day.

"Well, you must be the promising Recruit, welcome I am Cleric 3rd class Roberts."

He holds out his hand I meet his hand shake.

"Thank you Cleric I am recruit Novoa pleased to meet you" I reply

"Pleasures all mine, now lets get you geared and settled" he says as he motions me to follow.

As we walk into the Cathedral I look up

"I had the same look when I first walked in enjoy this is your new home" He says seeing the look on my face.

I look around from the high arched ceilings to the painted windows to the beautiful marble floor. As we walk through the main room we are surrounded by classrooms and training rooms
