Book 1: Cradle

Chapter 2: The forgotten hero of Aragón.

Ivy was running in the woods, she had no idea of where she was going when a great beam of light coursed through the sky, she stood looking at it, it was strangely beautiful, and it seemed to be in the center of the woods, high up in the mountain, she took a deep breath and started running towards it.

Hisami backed away into his arms and Vadhin hugged her as he turned around standing in between the shadowy figure and her, the figure stepped out of the misty room, it barely walked, it seemed painful...

I need to find Jane of Maire. - the man said with a raspy voice while stumbling out of the room, the man had a full set of knight armor, it was made of shiny silver with golden details.

Are you ok? - He asked while Hisami got out of his arms... - Sir?

The man looked at him, he seemed confused and distressed, he was of a muscular build, his face seemed tired framed by long dark hair and a short beard. The man took a deep breath as he looked up.

Ángel of Aragón was awoken from his slumber, someone had opened the door of the criptum, after five years inside someone had opened the door... he went outside, his body was aching and his sight was blurry, he stumbled into the wall of the cave...

I need to find Jane of Maire... - he said, even though five years had passed he hadn't figured anything out, but if Jane had ordered for him to be awoken something must have been wrong.

Are you ok? - the voice of a man asked... he didn't really understand what he was saying. - Sir?

He looked at the man speaking to him, he was a black young man, but there was something on his clothing that didn't seem... right... next to him there was a woman, at first he didn't believe his eyes... It seemed to be Jane, but the Jane of his memories, the one he had trained with in his years as an apprentice, he stepped closer to her. Under a closer look something didn't seem to be right, her eyes were a little bit lidded and her hair longer, he reached for the girl and she didn't back away, he grabbed her shoulder and he was falling again into the darkness of his memory...

A flash of light led him to his memory, he asked for guidance... He was back in his home next to the building that housed the headquarters of the order, he was sitting on his bed, next to him there was Jane, her light coffee hair and her eyes shining to the sun light, she smiled and then cuddled with him.

It will be alright. - she whispered to his ear, it was the morning that he had left... he closed his eyes and another flash of light took him again into the darkness.

He was at the entrance of the criptum, Jane and Grand Master Rongo were standing behind him, she placed her hand on his shoulder, he turned around and saw her, her eyes were shiny due to the tears that were about to roll freely through her eyes.

I... I... - she started saying, he looked at her and then took her by her waist, she gasped as he passed his hand by her cheek and then she closed her eyes . - I love you...

Ángel didn't answer, he just hugged her, the Grand Master took a step forward and placed his hand on the door of the criptum and it started to shine.

Are you ready, young knight? - the master asked as the door opened... he turned back and looked at his love, she smiled between her tears.

If anything happens I'll make them open the door. - she said looking at him.

I know... - he said as he smiled back.

I am going to miss you. - she answered as she got closer to him.

See you in a minute... - he said with a soft smile, Jane stood closer to him and kissed him.
