The Three Part 2.5

(this is a  little ''pre story I've baked up for part 3, coming out very soon!( 

Darkness, a terrible scream was heard, the trio's back were to the wall, completely afraid of the tall supposed man in front of them, he then growled loudly, making them even more frightened before he burst out laughing, the giant of a guy falling to the ground with a loud thud, cracking up even more, Mio's face transforming into a bit of an angry one <<That wasn't funny you old freak, next time you do that I swear I'll << before he could finish his sentence, hugo snapped his fingers which sent an orange layer of goo on the boys mouth, shutting him up << MMPH! mmm, mm!!!!!<< <<Well, that should give us some quiet<< he then sighed with relief<< Anyway, kids, want to hear the story still?<< ..

<<Once upon a time, there was a band of thieves , they lived in the land of Skeks, now a remote desert , it is fabled to have once been a land full of life and joy, where magic was loved and kept in high esteem, there were however, some, crooked, evil folk, as every nation has. After a few decades, the practices of dark magic became more and more popular, people were no longer content with cutesey selfless spells, they wanted, something, something more, they longed to have more wordly desires..  more money, more power, more sensual pleasure,everything that  the greats would've never advocated.. they commited.  One day, a very pure hearted youngling, he wasn't like the others, very humble, very polite, very considerate of all living things. , about 19  years old , legend said he had grey hair, despite his young age, and was very nimble, he was named, Lagorious, a very skilled swordsman, but a bit of a late bloomer when it came to his powers...  

One day, the boy decided that he wanted to change the  tides and bring the old books and ways to the people ,  The first time he felt something  truly negative was whenhis parents died at the tender age of  8, after they quarelled with a fire mage who had control over the land at the time, It was at this moment that the young lad, his innocence   tampered by the tragedy, left the city . He experimented with magic, allsorts of it/, going even into the darker realms of the magicks, it has been said that he spent 40 some years, roaming the world to find every bit of magic , it took him his whole life to realize the fact that he<< .. 

Hugo stopped abruptly,Hmm, that's odd *he looked at the book, casting a bit of a red aura around it, to no effect << What is it ?<< Eio asked <<  The book, the rest of the pages are << He turned the book towards them << Blank.<<  Sio and Eio  had a disappointed look on their face, Mio jumping on the guy saying: << NO FAIR! I WANTED TO KNOW THE REST OF IT!!!<< . Hugo chuckled before pushing him off like he was a paper bag. << oh well, it's  just a silly story anyway haha, nothing much more to it, I bet>> They sit therefor hours, the sky darkening as they sing some songs with marshmellows onsticks, Eio smiling for once at them, the fire shining on her face and eyes. After the weather calms down,they exit the shack and  walk  slowly home, breathing in the nice moist air, but instead of going directly to Hugo's place  they go through a shortcut, sliding down a back dirt way down a wet road that Hugo suggested, they slide down the  road, still wet with  rain,  a grey sky hanging above them,  albeit a bit dark, about 20 minutes till sundown , some  very large vines on the walls of the town, the younger one notices a darkhouse  on a mini hill behind a street, and slowly walks to it, but Hugo swiftly catches  her as she attempted to open the door, playfully smacking her hand  The youngest looking a bit startled  but then follows the trio. Once they get home,  before they can even switch the lights on and take off their shoes , a red flash appears in the room, it's a gem ,  a dark red one with a few cracks, floating above the table the grandfather mumbles a name, but the trio can't hear it well,  it flashes again, shiningbefore smashing into pieces . The crew look confused,  then hugo,  his back still turnt towards the crew, his back shaking a bit from his sorrow:

 <<s-she's dead...<<
