CHOSEN ONE (Reunion Of Human and Creatures)

Once upon a time in a world called Earth, a world where magic and magical beings, and creatures exist. A world where peace and harmony existed before the whole world was covered in darkness and evil prevailed.

The world was ruled by four evils and they used humans as slaves and food. The reign of the four evils lasted for a very long time before some group of people that consisted of wizards joined hands together to formed a resistance group that stood up against the evils.

The resistance group fought as long as they could against the four evils but that wasn't enough to put an end to the reign of the four evils. So they pray unto their gods to give them the power to help destroy the evils, the gods answered their prayers and blessed them with a male child that possessed magical power.

A child being born with a magical power was the first time such a thing as ever happened in their world, so they did everything in their power and sacrifice a lot to protect the child from the hands of the evils and called him HOPE, seeing the child as their last hope to conquer the reign of the evils.

When Hope comes of age, he was taught how to use his power by the wizards. The wizards also found out he possessed a tremendous power, a power they have never seen or come across.

As soon as Hope turn an adult, he was made the leader of the resistance. Together Hope and the wizards wage war on the four evils.

Hope and the wizards were able to conquer the reign of the four evils but they couldn't kill the four evils because they were part of what was used to create the world they lived in. If they ever try to destroy the evils it will mean destroying their world, so the four evil was sealed from the outer world.

After the war and the defeat of the evils, Hope, the wizards, and the people came together and built five kingdoms named Axrax, Domitrus, Lythridite, Samuzia, and Micapus.

Axrax was made the head of all the other kingdoms and Hope was crowned the king of Axrax, then peace reigned.

Before King Hope died, he and the wizards came together and combined their powers to create a powerful and magical stone then sealed the stone inside a crystal.

The purpose of creating the powerful and magical stone is for the stone to be used to stop any evil that ever threatens the five kingdoms and the power of the stone can only be wielded by someone worthy of the stone. The crystal that possessed the stone was called the light crystal.

Hope and the wizards also created an army from the power of the stone and called them the light army, so they can be powerful enough to fight against the evil force and link the light army's soul to a ring.

Many years after the death of Hope, a new king from the bloodline of Hope was born and he was called Damon. King Damon was made the king of Axrax after the death of his father, and during his reign, an evil and powerful dark wizard called Marcelos rose against the five kingdoms to conquer and rule them.

Marcelos possessed five great powers which made every living soul fear him. Marcelos five great powers were, he could manipulate humans and control dark creatures, he possessed a great power far greater than that of the late king Hope, he has control over death, he could control nature itself, and last, he has the power of immortality.

With his five great powers, Marcelos was halfway to succeeding in conquering the five kingdoms before King Damon and the light army with the wizards of the five kingdoms and some others joined hands together and defeated Marcelos after King Damon failed to wield the power of the light crystal.

After Marcelos was defeated, King Damon and the five wizards tried to kill him but couldn't. Seeing that Marcelos couldn't be killed, King Damon and the five wizards made Marcelos fall into an eternal sleep and absorbed Marcelos' five powers into five crystals. Marcelo's body was buried in a tomb and sealed with magic.

The five crystals which Marcelo's power was absorbed into were given to each kingdom to protect. The dark crystal was given to Axrax, the mind crystal was given to Lythridite, the death crystal was given to Samuzia, the nature crystal was given to Domitrus, and the immortal crystal was given to Micapus.

They all kept the crystals safe in a hall called the sacred hall and they were guarded by the light army.

THOUSANDS YEARS LATER (Present)

The reigning king of Axrax, king Raynold lost his wife immediately after she gave birth to his second son.

King Raynold was heartbroken when his wife died but he decided to move on so he could be able to take care of his two sons.

King Raynold took care of his two sons (Ramsay and Noah) himself, he made sure they never lack anything and when they come to teenage he began to teach them how to fight and the tactics of war.

Ramsay is now 20 years old, while Noah is 18 years old and they are both on their way to meet their father because he summoned them.

IN A DARK FOREST

A man was sited on an old throne (in a dark castle), and in front of the man was an old man standing (holding a staff) and some group of guys standing around.

The man sited on the throne said to the old man ''for how long will we be staying here Zussorader''.

''Philip my future king, you have to exercise patience, but we shall leave very soon'' said Zussorader.

''That's what you have been saying for a very long time. I think we are just hiding ourselves here instead of us to go out there and take the world'' said Philip with confidence and courage.

''We can't go out like this Philip, we have to be patient'' said Zussorader.

Hearing that made Philip get angry, then Philip hit Zussorader away with his magic, Zussorader hit his back against the wall and fell on the ground with his staff.

Zussorader stood up, picked up his staff and he walked up to him.

''Please don't do that again Philip so you won't piss me off.

When I found you Philip I promise to give you the world and that I will do. But I and you with a bunch of mercenaries can't go out there to conquer the world.

The world is much more than what you think of, even our powers are nothing. If we will want to conquer the world we need an army and a powerful ally'' said Zussorader as he got in front of Philip.

''A powerful ally? who is going to stand with us? You said it yourself the whole world is trying to kill us'' said Philip annoyed.

''There is someone who wants the same thing as we do, and that will be our powerful ally'' said Zussorader.

''And who is that?'' asked Philip in disbelief.

''Marcelos'' said Zussorader.

''You mean the dark wizard you told me about (Zussorader nodded his head). I thought it was just a story'' said Philip.

''It's not. Marcelos has the great power you could ever think of'' said Zussorader.

Philip stood up from the throne and asked ''where do we find Marcelos and how do we wake him up?".

''Finding Marcelos won't be hard but waking him up is. To be able to wake Marcelos, we need the blood of King Damon's bloodline'' said Zussorader.

''Which means we need the blood of King Raynold or that of one of his sons'' said Philip.

''Yes'' said Zussorader.

''Getting that will be truly hard because King Raynold is very powerful and infiltrating Axrax can be impossible because of the light army'' said Philip.

''Yes, that is why I have planned everything before today. We shall visit Lythridite first and steal the mind crystal'' said Zussorader.

''Why are we stealing the mind crystal?'' asked Philip.

''That will help us in getting one of the prince's blood'' said Zussorader with a smile.

AXRAX

Ramsay and Noah entered the palace hall and saw their father sited on the throne, they walked up to him and stood in front of him.

King Raynold said (with a smile) to his sons ''welcome my lovely sons, am so proud to see the both of you grown up into a young and fine handsome man, and for always making me proud''.

''Thank you father'' said Ramsay and Noah (in union).

''Am sure your mother will be so proud and happy if she was alive'' said King Raynold with a little bit of sadness.

''We are also proud of you father, for raising us to be a young handsome man'' said Ramsay with a smile.

''You are the best father we could ever wish for'' said Noah with a smile.

''Sons, I called you both here to tell you it is time to learn how to control and use your magical power. Your master will soon be here to take you'' said King Raynold.

''Yes father'' said the both of them (in union).

Just then the palace hall door opened and an old man with white hair (holding a staff) walked into the hall.

The old man (with white hair) bowed his head immediately he got in front of King Raynold with the word ''your royal majesty''.

''Welcome Zussorender'' said King Raynold to the old man.

''How have you been your royal majesty?'' asked Zussorender.

''Have been great as you can see. How are you and your family too?'' asked King Raynold.

''We are good'' said Zussorender.

''Sons, am sure you must have seen him in the palace but might not know him...'' said King Raynold to Ramsay and Noah.

King Raynold was cut short of words as Noah cut in ''I do know him, everyone called him the weird old man'' said Noah with a smile.

Ramsay smiled while King Raynold smirked.

''Um.. people may address him like that but he is not what they called him.

He is Zussorender the supreme wizard, he is the leader of all wizards and the wizard of Axrax'' said King Raynold to his two sons.

Ramsay and Noah stop smiling and they both bowed their heads to show their respect.

Ramsay said to Zussorender ''we are sorry''.

''Sons, Zussorender will be in charge of your training, he will be the one to teach you how to use and control your magic, he shall be your master'' said King Raynold to his sons.

''It nice meeting you master'' said Ramsay to Zussorender as he and Noah bowed their head to Zussorender again.

At the same time, Zussorender also bowed his head to them as he said to them ''It's nice meeting you too, your royal highnesses''.

''Now that you have all known each other, you can take them with you Zussorender'' said King Raynold.

''Aren't we going to learn how to use our magic in the palace Father?'' Noah asked King Raynold.

''No, you will be with Zussorender till you master your powers'' said King Raynold.

Ramsay and Noah felt sad, king Raynold noticed them, stood up from his throne, and walked to Ramsay and Noah.

King Raynold stood in front of them and said to them ''it's okay sons, I know you are going to make me proud once again''.

Then King Raynold hugged his sons.

Ramsay and Noah packed their belonging and together with Zussorender, they all walked to the palace gate.

The two princes saw a dirty wagon on getting to the palace gate.

''Wizard is this going to be our ride?'' Noah asked Zussorender.

''Yes'' said Zussorender.

''How are we going to be riding this dirty thing'' said Ramsay surprised, same with Noah.

''Riding this dirty thing is the only way you will be able to get to my house, if not stay in the palace'' said Zussorender to the both of them.

''Can't you just request for a better wagon, I mean you are the wizard of Axrax, you should be riding something better than this'' said Ramsay.

''Get in now, or I will leave without you'' said Zussorender to the both of them.

The princes looked at him and saw he wasn't joking, they had no choice but to enter into the wagon, then they began their journey.

LYTHRIDITE

King James of Lythridite sat down on his throne in the council hall, and a general (general Helmond) stood in front of the king.

General Helmond said to the King ''your majesty, we truly need to improve the standard of the army''.

''I see no reason why we need to improve the standard of the army. We are at peace general Helmond not war'' said King James to the general.

''I know your majesty, but I can sense darkness coming our way very soon and we need to be prepared for that darkness'' said general Helmond.

''There is no darkness coming general, even if there is darkness coming, the light crystal is there to stop the darkness'' said King James.

''That is if the worthy one is present to wield its power and again we all don't know where the exact place Ethusa took the light crystal.

All we heard is rumors that Ethusa took it to a light castle where we all don't know where it is located'' said general Helmond.

''Let's accept what you said is true, in what way do you want us to improve the standard of the army?'' asked King James.

''In numbers and weapons'' said general Helmond.

"General, raising more army will cause panic to the people, they will be afraid thinking war is coming'' said King James.

''Your majesty, we have been enjoying peace for a long time now and we don't know the time when this peace will end because nothing last forever. We need to be prepared for anything that may attack us unaware'' said general Helmond.

''You know even if am to agree to this, we still need to discuss it with the great king and the council member'' said King James.

''And am sure the great king will agree to this, this is for the benefit of every kingdom'' said general Helmond.

''Okay general, I will send your request to the great king and let you know what he decides'' said King James.

''Yes your majesty, I will take my leave now'' said general Helmond and left the council hall.

Just as general Helmond left, King James's daughter walked into the council hall smiling.

Zussorader holding his staff and a bird standing on his shoulder, and Philip with the mercenaries (holding swords) stood on a cliff near Lythridite, looking at the palace of Lythridite kingdom.

Zussorader said to Philip as he held the bird in his hands ''this shall be our eyes and ears in the palace of Lythridite''.

Zussorader let the bird go and the bird flew toward the direction of Lythridite palace.

''As soon as the bird returns, we are going to enter Lythridite'' said Zussorader to the mercenaries.

''Yes'' said the mercenaries (in union).

LYTHRIDITE

King James stood up from his throne as his daughter walked up to him. King James walked up to his daughter and they hugged on getting close to each other.

They separated but still held hands.

''How are you, my princess?'' King James asked his daughter (with a smile).

''Am very fine Father'' said the princess (smiling).

''Come'' said King James and took her to the throne.

King James sat her on the throne and sat down on the floor in front of her.

''Father, do we always have to do this every time'' said the princess.

''What that?'' asked King James pretending not to understand what she meant.

''I sited on the throne while you sat down on the floor in front of me'' said the princess.

King James smiled and said ''before I came of your age, my father always did the exact same thing and I always wondered why he did that. Then I asked him one day why he always sit me on the throne and he will sit down on the floor in front of me.

My father said to me that he will tell you the reason why if I answered his question''.

''What was the question he asked?'' asked the princess.

''He asked him ''what does it mean to be a king or why do you think a king deserves to be called a king?''.

Just as he did with me I want you to also answer that question'' said King James.

''That is not a hard question, to be a king is not hard. A king is someone that rules a kingdom and he is the one that has the supreme command.

He is also respected by all the people and subjects, so he deserves to be called a king'' said the princess.

King James laughed and the princess wondered why her father laughed.

''Why are you laughing father?'' the princess asked her father.

King James stopped laughing and said ''that was the same answer I gave to my father and he laughed the same way I did''.

''So what did he say the answer was?'' asked the princess.

''To be a king means, the people must always be your priority. The people must be the most thing you cared about, you must care for their well-being and everything about them, and you must always make them happy.

A king deserves to be called a king when he sacrificed his all for his people's happiness at the cost of his own. That is what makes a king a true king'' said King James.

''Wow, grandfather is a genius. But when you said to see the people as his priority, what about the king's families?'' asked the princess.

''The king's families are also part of the king's people, so he must care for all of them together'' said King James.

''Okay. So why do you always sit on the floor and made me sit on the throne?'' asked the princess.

''The reason why I always made you sit on the throne is because I want you to be the king for that time and me to be just an ordinary person.

I also want you to feel the weight of being a king but you are too young to feel the weight and to you, it doesn't look like you are sited on a throne but just an ordinary chair'' said King James.

''I get the lesson, Father. You are trying to make me realize being a King is not easy, and the throne can't be left empty.

So you want me to be the king for the meantime while you take a rest is just an ordinary person'' said the princess.

''That right my princess. How was your training today?'' asked King James.

Just then the bird arrived at the window of the council hall.

''Great father. I think I will soon be a master, I have learned every tactic about bow and arrow'' said the princess with a smile.

''I know you are going to be the best archer in all the kingdoms and make me proud'' said King James with a smile.

''Thank you father'' said the princess.

King James stood up and said to the princess, ''Tracy, I think it is time that I show you something powerful and strong, also tell you a little history about the kingdoms''.

''What that?'' asked Princess Tracy.

''Come with me'' said King James and lead the way followed by Princess Tracy, the bird also followed.

King James took her daughter to a hidden area in the palace which is where the sacred hall is located, the bird also followed.

They got to the front of the sacred hall and met five light army soldiers all dressed in white and wearing a white mask. Three of them held a sword, while two of them held a bow and a quiver holding a lot of arrows at their back.

The light army soldier bowed to King James immediately after they saw him to show their respect.

''Where are we father?'' princess Tracy asked her father, she was surprised that such a place in their palace.

''The scared hall, that is where we are. Let go in'' said King James to the Princess.

One of the light army soldiers opened the door, and the king and the princess entered.

Just as the king and princess entered the sacred all the five light soldier army spotted the bird where it stood looking at them, then one of them shot an arrow toward the bird but the bird flew away before the arrow was able to get to it.

As they entered the sacred hall, princess Tracy saw a pillar (not too tall) built on top of a podium at the center of the sacred hall, and on top of the pillar was the mind crystal (levitated).

The King and the princess moved closer to the mind crystal and climbed on top of the podium to have a clear view of the mind crystal

The King said to the princess ''Tracy, this crystal is called the mind crystal''.

Then the princess heard a voice from the crystal that continued saying to her ''please help me, free me''.

The princess became enchanted by the voice and lost control of her mind. The princess tried to touch the crystal but King James hit her hand before she could touch the mind crystal.

The princess regain consciousness of her mind as the King hit her hand and asked what just happened.

''You were controlled by the mind crystal for a while there and it wanted you to free it'' said King James to her daughter.

'I heard it saying I should free it and I feel attracted to it'' said Princess Tracy surprised at what happened.

''I know, that is what the crystal is capable of. It can manipulate and control one's mind, and if it falls into his master's hand it will destroy lives'' said King James.

''Who is the master of this crystal?'' asked Princess Tracy.

''The master of the crystal is called Marcelos, the evil wizard. The crystal is five in number, mind, death, dark, immortal, and nature.

Every one of those crystals belongs to Marcelos and he once tried to use them to enslave and rule the world but he was defeated by the first five wizards and King Damon of Axrax with the light army'' said King James.

''How come it is only the king of Axrax and the five wizards that defeated Marcelos, what about other kings, didn't they join hands with them?'' asked Princess Tracy confused.

''It happened a thousand years. The kings of other kingdoms then were all afraid of Marcelos because they saw what he was capable of. They all couldn't stand up against him but bowed down to him.

But King Damon was from the bloodline of the great king (King Hope) and he possessed a magical power which the other kings didn't'' said King James.

''You have told me the story about the great king that save mankind and how powerful he was.

Does King Damon of then possess the same power as that of King Hope?'' asked Princess Tracy.

''No, but King Damon also has magic just like every other king of Axrax because they are from the bloodline of magic, the first king of Axrax.

The present King of Axrax also possesses a magical power and am sure his sons will also do'' said King James.

''Okay. After Marcelos was defeated what happened next?'' asked princess Tracy.

''All the power Marcelos possessed was taken from him and put into five crystals.....''.

The bird returned to Zussorader and stood on his hand. Zussorader looked into the eyes of the bird and saw all that the bird has seen and heard.

Zussorader smiled and said to the bird ''you have done a great job my dear'', then he kissed the bird.

Zussorader faced the mercenaries and said to them ''the bird has located where the mind crystal will be because that is where the light army is guarding which means that is where the mind crystal will be.

We will be going into Lythridite and finding a way to infiltrate the palace, and in that meantime I want everyone should be on their best behavior. No one should act without any order from me or Philip.

Sooner or later we will be facing the light army, don't underestimate them they are more powerful than what you see and can only be killed in the heart. Is that clear?''.

''Yes'' said the mercenaries (in union).

LYTHRIDITE

King James continued ''then the five crystals were given to each kingdom to protect and Marcelos was put to an eternal sleep.

The reason why I told you all of this is because you have come of age to know about all this, and every royal blood in each kingdom knows about this story even the wizards.

And again you will be my successor one day'' said King James.

''Thanks for trusting me father'' said Princess Tracy with a smile.

''You are the only daughter and child I have, if I don't believe in you or trust you, my princess, then who should I trust then'' said King James with a smile.

''Thank you, Father. There is something I need to ask you father'' said princess Tracy.

''What that?'' asked King James.

''Who are those guards that are outside, have never seen them before and they look different to the other guards'' said princess Tracy.

King James smiled and said '' that is why I love you, you never let anything get past you.

They are no guards they are called the Light army''.

''I heard you mentioning them before'' said princess Tracy.

''Yes. They were created by King Hope from a powerful stone which was created by King Hope and the wizards of then, but the stone now lies in a crystal and is called the light crystal.

They were once human like us before they volunteer to be made immortal so they can protect the kingdoms against evil forces that may rise against the kingdoms'' said King James.

''How old do you think they are?'' asked princess Tracy.

''I have no idea, but they are very old. Back then, before the reign of King Damon, the light army can only be seen in Axrax because that is where the first king reside, but after Marcelos was defeated and the five crystals were given to the four Kingdoms.

King Damon commanded five light army soldiers to each kingdom to guard and protect the crystal from falling into the hands of evil.

One more thing, the light army can only be controlled and commanded by the king of Axrax'' said King James.

''Why can the light army only be controlled and commanded by the kings of Axrax, not other kings?'' asked princess Tracy.

''The kings of Axrax are from the bloodline of magic, magic runs in their blood just like their forefather King Hope but other kings don't, that's why we also call them the great king.

After the light army was created, King Hope created a ring and link it to the soul of the light army, and whosoever wore the ring will have control over the light army, they will also be linked to the light army and the ring has been passed down through generations.

If you were to wear the ring, you must have magic or else you will be enslaved by the ring'' said King James.

''So everything with power has a negative and positive side'' said princess Tracy.

''I guess so. That will be enough for today, let's return" said King James.

NIGHT

Zussorender and the two royal princes got to Zussorender's house, and they all came down from the wagon. The two royal princes were confused and surprised upon seeing Zussorender's house, a small house.

''How come you live in this kind house, master?'' Noah asked Zussorender as Zussorender was busy packing his things from the wagon.

''Get your things and meet me inside now'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes and made his way in.

The two royal princes entered the Zussorender's house with their belongings and saw Zussorender, his wife (Lythia), and a 9-year-old kid (Gabriel) sited at the dining table.

''Show them their room so they can drop their belongings and don't take their belongings from them'' said Zussorender to his wife.

''Drop your things and come back to eat'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes.

Lythia stood up and said to the two royal princes ''follow me'', then they followed her.

The two royal princes returned to the dining table and met Zussorender and his family waiting for their return so they could all eat.

The two royal princes sat down and were served food.

As they were all eating, Lythia asked the two prince ''am sorry to ask this, what are your names?''.

''Why sorry, we will gladly tell you our name. we are the princes of Axrax'' said Noah.

''I know you both are the prince of Axrax'' said Lythia.

''Okay. My name is Noah and my brother's name is Ramsay'' said Noah.

''Master sorry to ask this, you are the wizard of Axrax which makes you the greatest wizard of all wizards, but I don't get why you will be living in this place and this small house'' said Noah to Zussorender.

Zussorender and Lythia looked at each other, then Zussorender looked at Noah and said to the two royal princes ''First lesson boys, don't ask questions from strangers''.

''But you are not a stranger, you are our master'' said Noah.

''Then don't ask me a question that doesn't relate to your training'' said Zussorender (annoyed).

''there is something I need to ask master'' said Ramsay to Zussorender.

''What's that I hope it relates to your training'' said Zussorender.

''Ever since we arrived in your home, I haven't seen anyone that comes in or out. I thought wizards teach someone with the magical power to become wizards like them, but I haven't seen any apprentice of yours around or do you send them on an errand'' said Ramsay.

''I don't have any apprentice and no more questions'' said Zussorender (now angry).

''But....'' said Noah.

Noah was cut short of words as Zussorender cut in ''dinner is over'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes.

''But we are not done eating'' said Noah.

Zussorender made the two royal princes' food rotten with his magic and said ''now you are done eating, go to your room''.

The two royal princes couldn't say anything but looked at Zussorender like someone crazy.

''Come your highnesses'' said Lythia to the two royal princes.

''This is my home, your title, and power do not exist here, and Lythia you shall address them by their name'' said Zussorender, then the two princes followed Lythia.

King of James of Lythridite sent a letter to King Raynold saying that he will like his permission to raise more army and improve the standard of the armies.

Zussorader, Philip, and the mercenaries entered Lythridite dressed as merchants, Zussorader changed his staff to just an ordinary stick.

They began to live in Lythridite as a merchant who sells drugs and clothing, at the same time getting information about Lythridite's palace. Zussorader also sent the bird to get a clear view of everything and the security of the palace.
