Prologue
Rain lashed the ground brutally, filling holes in the ground of a dark lush green forest. Lightning flashed, with a threatining to hit the ground after being followed by thunder, which gave a humongous tremble on the ground. The trees were henrendously large as well, growing over to eighty-five feet in length. The sound of hooves echoed through the forest, breaking the somewhat loud silence.
Mud flew from side to side as a horse stomped its way through a large open field in the middle of the forest, with two other horses close by. The riders of the two rrailing horses were covered in black cloaks and hoods. They both pulled back a strange looking bow and arched their arrows perfectly straight at the rider at the front.
The rider at the front, wore a hooded cloak, with the hood attached and the rest of the cloak flapping behind hi. He turned around quickly and pushed his palm foward, which began to glow blue. Lightning flashed in the sky once more then a blue energy shot out of his hand in a ball form and hit one of the riders down, causing him to fall off the horse. A chain reaction had now started, the fall of the rider had caused his horse to be spooked, the horse thrashed around violently hitting the other horse in its fright. The rider fell of of his horse as well, hitting his head on the ground knocking himself out.
The rider from the front sped foward on his horse and re-entered the thick forest from the other side of the field. He saw a cliff up ahead, so he left his horse in order to climb it.
Back where the other riders were ahead, they made a signla fire in the other side of the forest. The trees were so thick rain couldnt get through, but the smoke managed to squeeze its way out. As the signal had reached its destination several more cloaked riders chased in the direction of the escaped apparent enemy. They all reached the cliff, and left their horses and began to climb. They're were about seven of them, as they reached the top their was a strange humming sound. The first one to reach the edge yelled out to the others. "He knows alchemy!"
The escaped person was kneeling down on the ground with a makeshift rainhouse over him, and a large star drawn on the ground beneath his feet. It began to glow, and the cliff suddenly crumbled, making all the cloaked people fall to their doom.
Suddenly the alchemy was reversed and the cliff undid it's destruction. The escapee stodd up and turned around to find a man standing behind him. He had long blue hair, and wore white armor, with a double edged sword strapped to his waist. He had a red tatto under his left eye. A Red cape blew behind him with the wind, and his eyes glowed a strange light blue. "You shall go no further..." he said in a peaceful tone.
He drew his sword, and stood in a rapier pose.
"Hmph..you havent caught me yet, nor will you ever..." With a quick flick of his wrist, flames shot out of the ground causing the man in white armor to jump back. He looked pass the fire to see the man escape.
"It seems...that you stil havent yet to make your choice on what you will do with your life..." He walked over to the cliff and looked down at the hanging cloaked men. "You all have failed me again, you shall be punished later. You have costed me my power yet again. Get up we must leave."
With a swing of his cloak he dissapeared. The men had begun to converse with one another. "Do you think he actually needs the power?" one of them asked rather curiously. Another one of them spoke up. "Yea he does, he plans to be the most powerful man in the world..."
