The Guardian Chronicles

{ Prologue pt. 1 }

{  The Villainous Plan  }

On the cover of night, when the moon was full and bright, a group of silhouette figures ran through the dark woods in ninja-like speed. It appears they're in a rush to get somewhere as quickly as they can, 'cause they're being pursued by two white-cloaked figures. The thieves have stolen an ancient spellbook that once belonged to a powerful moon goddess called Elara Moon. The white-cloaked male tried to stun the female thief who's carrying the book, but she dodges the spell-attack by leaping into the air and lands on a tree branch, continuing to run fast, the other thieves soon followed. The white-cloaked female went ahead and jumps onto the tree branch too, chasing down the thieves, forcing her mentor to run after her. The thieves leaped from one tree to another, graceful with each step so they wouldn't slip and fall. However, they knew if they don't reach their destination in time, they might wind up meeting their fates worse than death.

But then, up in the distance, a fortress ruin of some kind was spotted in view sight, the thieves jumped back onto the ground and hurried inside, but the two white-cloaked pursuers were hot on their tail. Suddenly, one of the thieves stopped and faces the two white-cloaked figures.

"Go! I'll deal with these 'servants of light' myself!" said The Thief Leader.

The thieves did as their leader told them and head deep inside the ruins. The white-cloaked male stepped forward while his apprentice remains beside him.

"Lumorneth! Return the book at once! You have no idea what raw power lies within." said The White-Cloaked Male.

"Oh, but I most certainly do..." Lumorneth replied as she pulled down her hood, revealing her long hair black as ink, fair pale tan face, and beautiful neon green eyes. "This spellbook is the key to freeing my master from the Shadow Realm."

"She was imprisoned there for her betrayal!" shouted The White-Cloaked Female.

"You're wrong, child. My master didn't deserve the punishment inflicted upon her— In fact, none of the villains in every dimension deserved their punishments either. Which is why my master shall put an end to the cycle, once and for all!" said Lumorneth.

"The balance cannot be destroyed, Lumorneth. The Goddess of Life created the Star Flower for a reason. No dark power can shatter it. And I won't allow your master to lay a claw on it." The White-Cloaked Male replied, ready to fight.

Lumorneth chuckled darkly. "We'll see about that."

The sorceress summons up her black magic and charges forward. The white-cloaked male and his apprentice pull out their magic staffs and fight back.

As the battle goes on, the thieves reached the enchanted stone arch and stand by waiting. Then, the gate portal opens wide in front of the group, inside is a vortex bridge for them to cross through. The thieves ran inside, then the stone arch gate portal closes itself behind them.

Lumorneth was very skillful with her spell-attacks while she dodged the white-cloaked figures' own spell attacks. But then the white-cloaked female manages to hit her with an ice spell, trapping her body inside an ice crystal, leaving her head exposed.

"RRRAAGH!" Lumorneth screamed in pain and anger.

"Gotcha!" said The White-Cloaked Female. "Now— You're going to tell us everything we want to know. Where have your 'minions' take the book?"

Lumorneth only replied with a slow burst of dark laughter. And then, the ice crystal began to crack before it blew up, sending the white-cloaked female flying until she was quickly caught by her mentor.
