After months of trainning, Alex finaly mastered his halberd. With this achievement, Alex gainned alot of confidence and challenged Ronan to a duel. Both heros were standing on the battlefield, ready to kill each other and sudently a guard rushed outside of Kanavan's Castle and shouted
Guard: "Knight Master ordered that all seven of you get back to the Castle's meeting room ASAP!".
Elesis: "We hear ya. Let's go team."
Lire simply nodded. Arme, as cheerful as ever, ran in front of the group to get in the castle first.
Ryan(Looking at Ronan and Alex): "Hey ladies, you heard Elesis!"
Lass dispite his reserved nature, laughed at Ronan and Alex. The rivals simply sheathed their weapons and followed the group without a word. Grand Chase finaly arrived inside the castle's meeting room where Knight Master was standing in the back, looking away from the group.
Knight Master: "Kaze'aze is building her army in Xenia continent, and getting ready for a counter attack on Kanavan."
Arme(Cheerfuly): "That's great! Finaly we get to do something!"
Lire: "True, but that also involve added danger."
Arme: "You worry too much." -Giggle-
Alex: "I got our mission objectives, I got our target, so I'll be going."
Elesis: "And where you think you're going, Alex?"
Alex: "Haven't I been clear enough, Ma'am?"
Elesis(Angry): "Who do you think you are? Some sort of a lone hero?"
Alex(Calm): "If you want to put it that way, yes. Beside I'm tired of babysitting this group."
Elesis(Shouting): "HOW DAR-"
Ronan(Shouting): "ENOUGH ELESIS! He'll only slow us down!"
Knight Master: "Alex, be careful and remember the Grand Chase won't be far behind you."
Alex: "Is that suppose to be a good thing?" said while leaving the castle.
When Alex finaly came out from the castle, he raised his head and stared at the night sky. He remained there for five minutes, then sudently started to run toward his family's mansion. Once inside, in stole his grandfather's journal then rushed toward Gorge of Oath.
Alex: "Hmmmm, where is the entrance now?"
Alex read the journal pages one by one while walking his way through Gorge of Oath, focused in his reading never saw the hole infront of him so he fell in it. Alex landed on his back and fell unconscious.
???: "Wake up son. Your journey won't end today."
Alex regainned consciousness upon these words and sat down.
Alex: "Gosh!!! My head!!!"
Alex then looked around to notice that no one was around. He then tryed to raise on his feet only to fell on his knees.
???: "Easy boy! You were injured badly."
Alex: "WHO'S THERE!!! SHOW YOURSELF!!!"
???: "Show myself? I wonder how I ever could."
Alex: "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS WITH ME?"
???: "Nice way to thank someone who healed you."
Alex calmed down, then looked around while he tried to get on his feet again.
???: "Don't forget your grandfather's journal and me."
Alex: "And you?"
???: "It is my duty to guard and aid my master, even if he's only a boy."
Alex: "Master? Me? erm.... wait a minute.... DID YOU JUST CALLED ME "BOY"?"
???: "you remind me too much of your grandfather. Sad that his son didn't followed his legacy."
Alex: "So you know why I'm here?"
???: "Of course! I'm the one who guided you here."
Alex: "Then tell me where is the entrance of my grandfather's cave."
Alex grabbed the journal from the ground and started walking the only way he could.
???: "Don't you forget something?"
Alex: "I don't think so."
???: -sigh- "Me! the freaking amulet laying on the ground! The freaking amulet your grandfather left in the journal!"
Alex: "Amul- wait a minute?!?! how on Bermesia does an amulet talk?!?!"
???: "Details."
Without a word, Alex grabed the noisy amulet and started his ourney again. Alex followed the instructions of his new companion and at sunset, they arrived at the cave. Alex clippled his way inside.
Alex: "This is it. Ermmm, how do I open that now?"
Alex was facing a collosal gate with his family's crest.
???: "Don't they teach you anything these days?"
Alex: "Careful, you're only jewelry."
???: "That you need it's help, sad isn't it?"
Alex ignored his amulet comment, and examined the gate. He then noticed runic markins all around the gate. He then read the entry in his journal and try finding something related to those runes.
Alex: ""Blood must flow, only the chosen bloodline will get to the ascension."Nice." -roll eyes-
Alex grabbed his halberd, mumbled to himself then pierced himself into the torso.
???: "MASTER!"
Alex died on this momment, but his spirit was on an other plane. He looked around and heard a voice but it wasn't his amulet.
???: "I sense great power, state your name and rank young one."
Alex: "Alex Liadon, Guardian of the Kanavan's Temple."
???: "Liadon? Finaly one of your bloodline showed up, after all these years."
Alex: "If you were awaiting for my bloodline then grant me ascension!"
???: "Indeed I will, if you prove your worth. Defeat all the challenges from this realm and I shall grant you ascension."
