In the kingdom of celosia, live a man who worked at an orphanage. One dark, stormy night a woman dressed in black and white, came to the door and knocked 3 times. The owner of the orphanage came, but when the door was opened the woman wasn't there. In place of the woman was 2 boys, one with red trimmed gold eyes and one with electric purple eyes with white irises. The owner knew they weren't brothers. In the cradle of each laid an envelope. In the envelope for the purple eyed boy was his name Vatra Blackstrom and with the child laid a necklace with a rune on it and with the necklace laid a little wand and letter that stated: to whom it may concern, I am no longer capable of keeping this baby night elf safe. Please give these items to him when he turns 18. Thank you.
Then he turned to the other boy and it said Balthazar Aquadis and with him laid a letter and a sword and belt. Also there laid a letter which said: he is the last of the we're dragons. He isn't to be given these gifts till he turns 18. I am being hunted by others who don't know about him. Please safeguard him please. Thank you.
The owner then said, " welcome children, I'm Mr. Basil you can call me Father Basil. I promise to take care of you." With that Basil took them out of the rain and into the church.
18 years later....
" Vatra! Come here." I said, " Father Basil wants to speak with us."
"Balthazar wait for me," exclaimed Vatra.
When they were halfway to the church Austin and his buddies stopped them.
"Well.... Well.... well. What do we have here two losers from the insane preacher." Said Austin snarly.
Then he tried to grab Vatra and punch him. But as he was about to a figure came out and grabbed his arm. It was Father Basil he glowered at them and they ran. We followed him to the church. Then he said," today's your 18th birthday and I have special gifts for you two. He handed each of them a box. When I opened mine a sword with a gold dragon on the hilt and with runes on the blade was in there along with it was a belt with a gold dragon and some written language. I asked, " What's this stuff."
"Balthazar, this is your family heirlooms."
Then Vatra yelped he picked up a wand and necklace. It lite up and runes swirled around him. Vatra! Then he smiled and said, " awesome I can read and do magic. Go on try your things I put the belt on and it transformed into a full set of gold armor. Then when I touch the sword it lite up gold and something stirred in me. I looked down and on my belt was a tiny button barely could see it I pushed it and the armour turned back to a belt. Wow! I thought, "amazing."
Then Father Basil said, " I want you two to apply for a position in the imperial army now I know they only select the best for the 12 lords but they are having a tryout for candidates and I want you to go to it so pack your bags."
We loaded our belongings and hit the road. We headed to Dorana great imperial city, on the edge of the Noble realm and commoner realm. We got there at noon the testing was about to start. Then the gate keeper said, "sorry your people don't belong here, but if you want to see how low payed citizens are trash then go ahead." I shoved past him with Vatra in my hand. We went into the crowd of skilled people with all sorts of magic items and weapons. We then stood there when a fire phoenix soared across and landed next to the 12 Knight lords. The announcer said, " ladies and gentlemen, I present you the 12 lords. The first test is to see how much magic you have. These orbs will float over you if you have a chance to be in one of the lord soldiers. Then I held my breath and prepared for the worst. just then two orbs floated and landed on me and Vatra head I was surprised for I usually never used magic before. Those who got a orbs please stay those who didn't leave now. Now when your orb number is called please come forward with your gear." I was #152. When they called me, a voice came inside my head and said " please come forward, number one hundred and fifty two." I stepped toward the altar and the voice stated please speak your name.
