Aruthral: The Broken Ones

The Calling

(This chapter is gonna be shorter than the others :P)

        Mikey hopped off the bus and ran to home so he could finish his homework quickly. Mikey arrived to his house and before he could grab the doorknob, the door opened. “Hi sweetie, how was your day?” asked Mikey’s mom. “Great,” said Mikey, who was quickly unpacking. “Is something wrong? You look worried or something,” said his mom. “I’m fine,” said Mikey. Mikey ran upstairs and did his homework.

      He finished at 6:00. "Good” Mikey went onto his computer and launched his favorite game. He called Lee and Xen to play with him. Apparently both of them were already in the game. Mikey invited Xen and Lee to a group chat. Mikey greeted both of them as they joined.

        “That was pretty weird right?” asked Mikey.

“From this afternoon? Well…….I guess,” replied Lee.

        Xen repeated what the man said: “Three people must fight to avenge the Broken Ones, one with the power of Death, one who can control Celestial fire, and one who can control Portals.”

Is it referring to us? Mikey thought as Lee and Xen talked amongst themselves. Broken Ones? Who are they? “

I think we should just put it aside and play our game,” said Xen.

Both Mikey and Lee nodded. The three friends played for two hours until something strange happened. “I feel…….really…..sleepy...all of a sudden,” said Mikey yawning as he said each word. “Same, but I feel weaker somehow,” said Xen. THUD. Lee fell asleep. “It’s onl-” Xen fell asleep mid-sentence. “What..is..happening...?!” Mikey struggled to say the last words before he fell asleep.
