This is a story thread. Please post on the feedback thread and not here. Thank you Chapter 1- In The Begining Matt was a 15 year old boy living in a large town called Drack, just on the outskirts of the Capital city, Tapor. He lived with his mother, father and older brother. They were a family of upper class and his father was one to show it by constant giving constant demands to people on the street and wearing radical clothing to stand out. Matt had average grades at school and wasn't very sporty. He preferred to just mess about with his life-long friend, Lynn. She had long, silky, black hair. Her eyes were sea-blue and she was the perfect height for her age. Lynn was also from a rich family but always wanted to do things boys would normally do. She always told Matt how she would run away from her home someday and how she longed to be free and not care about anyone else. It was a saturday afternoon and Matt and Lynn were sittin on an outstretched branch at the corner of the town. Lynn today looked exceptionally beautiful, though she always did according to Matt. Matt had always liked Lynn but couldnt find the words to tell her. Plus he didn't want to ruin their friendship. Lynn and Matt had been talking for most of the day and had no intention of stopping. This moment was the perfect time to ask Lynn out, only to be spoiled by a large explosion on the opposite side of town. As Matt was 15 and a male it was his job to defend the town along with all other males. He raced away home to grab his armor. Once Matt got there he saw hundreds of armored men attacking the citizens of Drack. He also saw his own men struggling to kill the attackers. In the distance was a god-like man sitting on a large throne, carried by six slaves. He knew that this was the work of the Eglie, an ancient race known for its constant wants for war. Angered by this sudden attack Matt tried moving, but he couldn't move for some reason. Cursing he concentrated on thr hundreds of men looking for a way to kill them. Without warning a massive wave of fire came out of his body and burnt the assasilants to death. Everyone looked at Matt in awe. Matt too was wondering what he did, but his last deed made him weak and he fainted on the spot
Chapter 2- The Knowing Matt suddenly woke up. He quickly realised that he was in his room and that he was moved there. He looked out his window and saw complete destruction. One side of the town was fine, but the other was in ruins. Matt had no recollection of his actions, only that the town was attacked by the Eglie. The door opened and his mother and father walked in, followed by Lynn and Thay. Matt turned around. " Are you alright?" said Lynn " Yea im ok, but what happened? All i remember is that we got attacked." said Matt " Well you stood in place then suddenly shot a massive wave of fire out of yourself! Awesome! " said Thay excitingly. After the outburst the door opened and an old man with a long, white beard walked in. He stood at the wall and pointed at me. Before i knew it i was being dragged towards him, but i did not fight it. He then told Lynn and Thay to leave. " I am Azalon! " he boomed." I have come to tell you of your power. Do not ask any questions until i finish. What you did today was magic. We call it the Grimoir. It was practised by our ancestors many centuries ago. Not very many people have it. You are a chosen one. You must come with me to harness your ability to help fight the Eglie. You are allowed to bring four of your friends with you. Its easier to travel as a five. I will give you two hours to get your friends and pack your things. * 2 hours later* A mixed group stood at the edge of the town. He had brought along Thay and Lynn, a dark skinned guy called Eclipse and Matt's best guy friend, Wolf, as he liked to call himself.
By now it was evening and the sun was setting. None of the group knew why they were there. The old man appeared to them and said, " You will have to travel south until you meet a river. Once there go east and i will meet you. It is a long journey and is very treacherous. Take these weapons in order to defend yourself." He made a swift movement with his hands and a wide array of weapons and armour appeared on the ground in front of them. Wolf took a large 5 foot longbow made of yew. He also took two small knives. He took a lightweight body-armour and chaps as his armour. Eclipse took on of the few swords available. It was long, light and slender but was sturdy. He took a tight fitting spandex armour and a black hood. Thay went next, taking a few small daggers and throwing knives. The only armour that fit her height was of medium strength so she took it. Then it was Lynn's turn. She took a slightly longer dagger than what Thay took and a few throwing knives. Her armour was again of medium strength except it covered more areas of the body. Finally Matt took his pick. He choose a large staff along with large white robes. They were given food supplies to last them around two weeks, bed sheets for sleeping and mugs. Once they had received all this, they set off, not knowing what would happen.

The group walked as long as possible to take advantage of the remaining light. To the west was woodland, but flat grassland surrounded them on all other sides. The stars were scattered across the dark sky and we stared in awe at them. Thay took the decision to head for the woodland for cover during the night. They were all tired but Eclipse and Wolf opted to keep guard for part of the night. Matt said he could do second shift, and Lynn quickly took the chance to help him. That left Thay to do the last, but shortest shift by herself. For Wolf and Eclipse, the night was long and dull. Neither had much to talk about and were both relieved to be told to go to bed by Matt and Lynn. Other than the first pair, Matt took the time to catch up with Lynn and talk about the past few hours which they had endured. The pair loved to talk about anything and both normally felt they could share anything with the other. After a while Lynn brought up the topic of relationships. She talked about how she had never found the right guy and how she has always been looking. Matt didnt know what to say. He really wanted to tell her how he felt but didnt want to upset things. " Can i tell you something?" asked Lynn. " Sure! Go ahead," Matt said hoping for the best. " I think Wolf is soo hot!! You think you could get him to talk to me?" Lynn said with entusiasm. Matt felt like his whole world had just come tumbling down. " Yea... Sure. Ill do it tomorrow...." he said emotionless. Then he sulked off to his bed.
Matt always had trouble sleeping. He always found it hard to get to sleep, and with the sudden news of Lynn's liking of Wolf, he found it even harder. Finally he got asleep, but woke up to find Thay sitting on a few rockd she had gathered together. " Hey. You having fun?" said Matt, clearly tired, while sitting up. " No. Its so boring. There's no one to talk to. Wanna talk? " " Yea sure. What about?" Matt replied. " Well, Lynn and I both like Wolf. She is clearly much better looking than i am. She is also more intelligent! I don't see how i would ever keep a boyfriend while she is about. You know.... I've always though you were cute, but you awere always hanging about with Lynn so i couldn't really talk you" said Thay in a sort of solliquay manner. Before Matt could say anything, she leaned in for a kiss. Matt was in a mood and wanted a bit of attention, and Thay was just second best. It was only supposed to be a small kisd but things escalated and Matt found that he couldn't pull away. Thay started to pull her top off, but Matt took thr opportunity to pull away. " Im sorry, but i can't do this." he said sheepishly before returning to bed and turning the other way.
