Introduction 

I have seen, heard, and felt the pain and happiness of the past and future I have seen the 'Ones'  the ones caught inside the dark halls of destiny itself. The young warriors you are to learn about have walked these dark, eerie halls, and eventually, walked out of the dark, only to find themselves to be the chosen ones .. The ones who would change the course of history and restore happiness to the land of Kallena. These heroes have felt the pain of lost, and began to fight against a mysterious force called 'The Dark' who strives to cause it these heroes fight because of the fear of losing something else dear to them whether it is their own life, the land itself, or someone that is loved by them. A young, enigmatic warrior named Stalkid strives to find his missing friend. A young Deku Queen, named Rajal, loses her kingdom, and becomes the last surviving Deku due to her deviancy against the evil force called 'The Dark'. A young, optimistic girl, merely named Z.F. looks only for the good in people and is determined to spread happiness. The youngest warrior, Glyde, joins them to not only aid them, but to 'cleanse' his soul and have friends. A mysterious warrior named Dark Star, who comes from the heavens and is disguised as a young traveler, decides to help these warriors instead of doing his original task he was ordered to do. And a half-dragon half-human simply called Dragon Warrior joins the party of heroes to get revenge on the dark army for destroying his homeland. With their combined strength, they destroy evil in the end, and become known as 'The Heroes of the Light'. As they travel, they soon discover the power within them .. Stalkid's determination brings upon his hidden, powerful power .. Rajal's anger calls upon unexpected, and often destructive power that smothers anything in her way .. Z.F.'s happiness shines light in the darkness and calls upon holy magic to aid her friends, Glyde's past brings a dark force to aid him, Dark Star's strange power to control the sky helps destroy evil in a single wave of his hand, and Dragon Warriors ability to control fire at will proves to be a useful ability…. Though, obviously, they  weren't the only heroes on the land, many others existed, but had either fallen prey to the evil force, become apart of the evil force, or they had survived with forever-scarred lives. These heroes thought they have seen evil and pain through their experiences . Its only the beginning for them, for that there is a greater evil that exists.




Part 1: The Lost Souls


As the sun gave birth to a new day, a youngster crosses the fields at a slow rate. He had not slept in days for he was determined to find his lost companion. The fields were its usual: green and plain. A nice, calm breeze comes from the north, refreshing and cool. As the wind approached, the youngster inhales deeply to capture the fresh scent. He was originally heading east, but changed his direction towards were the wind had blown. As he headed that way, he soon found himself on a steep hill that over looked the near by town. 


Eagerly, the youngster made his way down the steep hill. He thought that it was best to rest after four days of traveling without rest. His presence in the town seemed disturbing to most people, for this youngster was nowhere near human. A man in overalls approaches him with a face full of disgust. He spits on the ground. The youngster, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, then asks the man, "Is there a problem, mister," The man circled the youngster a couple of times before he finally answered, "Indeed," The youngster swallows. "What's wrong, sir?" The man tilts his head slightly as he walked closer to the youngster as he studied the youngster's face, but in complete disgust. "What do you think you are doing here, creature?" The youngster remained still. The man backs away and puts a toothpick in his mouth and began to chew on it. "We don't allow such-" He pauses as his eyes traveled up and down on the youngster. He then continued, "-such. Beings here. Leave now. You're a disturbing sight to see."


The youngster looks at himself and then answered, "I don't think I'm very disturbing" The man impatiently crossed his arms. "We don't accept those who carry war like equipment and have a look of war on them either." The youngster cleared his throat and said, "Um, actually, I' am nothing of the sort. I'm very friendly and peaceful. So, would that mean I can come in?" The man fumed, "Look here, kid, we don't accept anything that comes from outside this very town! Now move it!" Then, almost in a mimicking way, the youngster crosses his arms gives the man a disgusted look. "Look here, MISTER, I haven't slept in days and I expected to be able to rest here for only one, freaking day." The man glares at the youngster. "I don't really care whether you need to rest or not, creature. Either leave town or face the consequences." The youngster sticks his tongue out and says, "I ain't moving. I have come here to rest and I expect to get some rest. I would be more then happy to pa-" Men suddenly surround the youngster and grab him. "H-HEY! LET ME GO! I DID NOTHING!" One of the men snorts. "You failed to listen to the town's rules. That's what you did and it's considered a crime here in the town of Malian." The youngster found himself soon being tied to a stake in the town square. He had a bad feeling of what was to happen. "WHAT THE?! I'M NOT A WITCH OR A CRIMINAL! I JUST CAME HERE FOR SOME REST! PLEASE LET ME GO!"


The men didn't listen, they were preparing the youngster's execution by piling firewood below his feet. The youngster began to think to himself, when it suddenly hit him. He looked at the rope closely and smiled. A man approaches the youngster with a torch in hand. The man then grimly mumbled, "Everyone will surely enjoy this," The youngster grinned and replied, "Sorry to say but-" The youngster jumped out of the ropes. "-YOU GUYS SUCK AT TIEING KNOTS!" The men around him pulled out their swords and dashed at the youngster. The youngster unsheathes his large sword and holds it in a ready position as the men dashed madly at him. He fought each and every one of them with relative ease, pushing back each of them with his sword. Then, by up most surprise, the man from the entrance jumps up from the crowd. "DIE CREATURE!" Almost automatically, the youngster lifts his sword up, pointing at the man with it. He closed his eyes until he felt some weight being put on his sword. The youngster opens his eyes, only to be filled with complete shock. The man was impaled by the youngster's sword. The youngster pushed the man off of his sword and he fell to the ground like a rock. All the men, including the youngster, looked down at the lifeless body, then at his bloody sword. The men turned back at the youngster, scowling at him. The youngster nervously smiles and boosted, "If y'all don't know me, ya better flee. Hear my name and tremble! The name's Stalkid.. See?" The men continued to scowl at him. 'Stupid fool' Stalkid thought to himself. Moments after that, the men chased Stalkid outside the town back into the field. As he ran through the field (though the men had long stopped chasing him) he found himself fall into a mud puddle face first. 'Why me?' Stalkid Bitterly thought. He stood up and wiped the mud off of his face and found that most of his belongings had fallen off of him and cleaned his blood-coated sword quickly.  


Stalkid sighed as he picked up his belongings that were drenched in thick mud, and the made his way back east. As he walked, his abnormally large sword clanked against his back. As it clanked, he remembered when he first received this sword from his best friend. Memories flashed before him, only to bring him pain. 'You promised you'd be there .' He thought to himself. He closed his eyes as he walked. 'Why did you have to disappear like that? You said you'd never leave, but now. You've gone without me.' A tear rolled down his cheek as he thought more and more about his missing friend, but eventually, he wiped his tear and concluded, 'And I'll find you even if it takes me my whole life.'


As he continued on, he found himself walking towards the swamp. In front of the swamp, was a small town. He then decided to try to enter this town. "Maybe the people here are better then the other town's people?" He quickly made his way towards the small town. Upon his arrival, a woman warmly greets him. "Ah! A forest dweller! Am I right," Stalkid stared at the woman and finally answered, "Well, I used to live in the forest." The woman smiles with complete satisfaction. "Oh I love outsiders so much! Welcome to Noro!" She grabs Stalkid's hand and roughly shakes it. "Would ya like a tour?!" Stalkid walks back, almost frightened of her rather loud kindness. "Actually" He started, "I'm very tired and I need a place to stay." The woman's smile faded. "Oh" She pointed towards a building and says, "That's the best place to stay in town. It's nice and affordable." Stalkid smiles and says, "I'm very thankful for your kindness." He began to walk slowly towards the Inn, when he stopped and looked at the woman again. "Tomorrow, if you are up to it, you can give me a tour of the town." The woman's smile returns and yells, "Oh thank you! Because of that, I'll give you the best tour ever given! I'll show you everything!" Stalkid grins and turns back around to face the Inn. After getting his room keys, he quickly ran upstairs to his room. He shuts the door, throws all of his things to the ground, and scrambles into the incredibly soft bed. Soon after, he fell into a deep sleep.
