Golden Legacy chap1
Part 1: The rebel army
It was another dark clouded morning, Sebek awoke to the sounds of his father agonizing crys again. A demon was whipping Sebek's father, he was all cut up and bleeding on the floor. The demon snarled, "Get up you useless cur, the king wants his slaves to tend to his garden again!" Sebek walked outside obediently, unlike his father who could not get up because of the savage lashing from the master. Sebek's mother was sent to the palace of the king, she plead with him, "Please my lord, you must do something about these monsters." The king said in a sad voice, "No, I cannot... I am terribly sorry Lonna." She turned away with tears streaming down her face, "At least tell them to stop beating my husband, he cannot even get up now. I'm afraid he's paralyzed." The king nodded, "I will have them stop beating Dan then." Lonna bowed to him and left, "Thanks my lord." As soon as she left, the king turned into a black creature with a scythe, "Like I'd do a think like that, we necroid shadows have no soul. So we feel no pity or sorrow for anyone." Sebek was trimming the hedges around the castle he saw his friend Railey who was also working quite hard, "Hey Rai, whats up?" Railey shook his head, "Nothing, I'm just working." Sebek replied with a grin, "Me too, man." Just then one of the creatures pushed Sebek on the ground and yelled, "HEY, WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT TALKING!?" Sebek was cowering in fear of the huge and muscular saber-tooth tiger that was yelling at him, "I-I'm sorry Taigon, I couldn't help it."
The saber-tooth approached him with his claws bared, "Well I think it's high time someone showed you how we treat the talkers!" He trusted his claws into Sebek, but before they could be jabbed in, he stopped. Sebek opened his eyes and looked at Taigon, he was still like a statue, "..." Taigon felt several arrows stuck in his chest, all of them pierced his heart, he fell on his back dead. "You okay, kid?" Sebek got up and noticed all of the slave drivers were dead, he asked, "What did you do?" The raccoon rubbed Sebek's head, "the name is Xan, I lead the rebel army. We have come to liberate your town of the evil source, the necroid shadow. If we take them out, we can free the towns." Sebek was happy to see he was free of the chains that were around his ankles and wrists, "Thank you Xan, for saving me from that idiot Taigon." Xan shook his hand and smiled, "It was my honor to have slain that idiot." A girl broke through the crowd and ran to Railey, she kissed him, "Lucia, your safe." Lucia said with a angry look, "What, you did not think I could fend for myself?" Railey smiled and said, "I am so happy your here Lucia, I have missed you." Sebek joined her two friends, "Looks like we are together again." Xan interrupted, "Hey kids, if you'd like to join us I have some weapons for you." he handed Sebek and Katana, Lucia and Railey each received a staff. "You Sebek are a ninja, you Lucia are a white mage and you railey are a black mage. I welcome you to our army." The three friends bowed to Xan.
Xan and the others marched into the castle and went into the king's chamber, The necroid shadow said with no emotion, "Hmmp, welcome Xan, I hope you are ready to join the other rebel armies before you in hell!" Sebek, Lucia and Railey jumped in font of Xan, "Let us deal with this scoundrel." The demon laughed and changed shape into prince Joe, "Hah, hope you fight well." Railey and Lucia began chanting in the back, while Sebek landed a series of five slashes onto the demonic shadow. The necroid hit Sebek in the stomach and he cried in pain. Railey yelled, "Now I'll show you my skills, thundra, GO!" A bolt of thunder zapped the demon, he groaned in pain, "Wah? How is this possible, you three are beating me." Lucia smiled and pointed her staff at Sebek, "Let you be healed, Cura." A light blue aura surrounded Sebek's body as he is being healed. Xan stood ready to fire his arrows, "Let me end this. Holy arrows, seal his fate!" He shot five arrows at the beast and he was now melting into the ground with a roaring noise.
Sebek picked up a stone that was there and it turned brown, "Hmm? Is this mine or something?" Xan examined it closely, he said, "No doubt about it, you are one of the destined sages to retrieve the ultimate magical powers... Only six more to find." He noticed a while stone around Xan's neck, Sebek asked him, "So thats your's?" Xan nodded, "You are the warrior of earth, I am the warrior of light." Xan said to Sebek with a serious look, "I shall tell you about your destiny, will you listen to me?" Sebek nodded and Xan went on, "It goes like this: The seal that the ancients put up to ensure that the three ultimate magical powers could never fall into the hands of evil, Holy, Ultima and Meteor. Only one with a just heart can learn how to use such magic, but one day that seal broke and darkness ruled the world. After a few years, the people lost all hope, the world stopped spinning and monsters were enslaving people. Only one hope remains, the group of warriors destined to repel the great evil that was consuming all forms of life. They wield a power know as Stafus. Do you understand?" Railey said with a nod, "I do, you and sebek are destined to save the world form evil." Xan smiled, "Yes, that is right Railey, you are a smart kid indeed." Railey blushed and said, "Well I do take after my father." Lucia nodded her head lightly, "I take after my mom, she was a cleric for the king... Where is he?" Xan pointed to a vase containing a lotus plant, "Pull the jar, there is a secret stairwell there that leads to a secret dungeon." Sebek did just that and the floor paneling slipped down wards, they four walked down the long stairway and saw several men and women tied to chairs, they were alive and well. The king looked at Xan and said "Xander of the Urra kingdom I'm sure, thank you for saving us from those horrible creatures." Xan winked and said, "Aww no problem, it was a privilege to save you your highness." He untied everyone and they returned to the King's chamber. "As a thanks, I will hereby permit you to use the cross gate bridge." The four bowed to the king, then they exited the castle and left the village in peace. And so their journey begins to save the world from the monsters.
Part 2: Hop the zombie commander
There was a rustling in the bushes, it was dark so the rebels thought it was a assassin, but it was just Sebek coming back from his guarding post. "Get out there Finn, it is your turn to stand guard." The shark nodded and walked through the bushes until he was at the guard tower, he climbed the ladder up and watched from above. Sebek sat next to his friends and said, "So how are you guys holding up?" Railey responded after a yawn, "I'm fine, just a little tired. But I can manage." Lucia was already sleeping against a tree, Xan told Sebek and Railey, "You guys should rest now, you will need your energy for the battles ahead." Sebek sat under a tree and fell asleep right away, Railey did the same. Xan scratched the back of his head, "Those kids sure pack a punch, especially the Sebek, he's quite impressive." Just then Finn came running back to the camp site, he told Xan, "We have a situation sir, seems that the imperials have moved in on us and are planning a strike against us as we speak." Xan went with Finn to spy on the imperial army, they herd a strong, commanding voice say, "Thats the plan men, now lets move in on em and end this rebellion!" Xan jumped out of the bushes and yelled, "Hold it right there Hop!" The general panda turned and looked at Xan, he asked, "Xan, why do you resist us? Don't you know you will be killed by the gods of Voll and Akkran if you rebel?" Xan laughed and said, "Those realms are legends, they do not exist Hop, so give it up." Hop laughed evilly and said, "We are the imperial army of Sliff kingdom, we are not employed to give up."
Hop points at Xan and tels his men, "Charge, hold nothing back!" Finn said with a weak tone, "Oh noooo..." All of a sudden a shadow swallowed the army men that were charging them, Xan said, "Good work Noel, now I'll handle Hop." Noel nodded and helped Finn away from the fight zone, Hop armed himself with his trident, "You will get my trident right in the heart Xan." The raccoon pointed the Harp Bow at Hop and said, "My arrows will pierce your heart and make you wish you had been on our side." Hop jabbed the trident into the ground, just inches away from Xan's feet, he laughed, "Well I'm wearing my Mythrill Armor, so you cannot kill me... But that doesn't make it the same for you." Xan armed his arrows and fired them at Hop directly, they pierced the armor and went right through his skin, the panda yelped, "But how!?" Xan laughed at Hop, "Diamond is the hardest substance in all of the world, so I have some arrows composed of diamond for these situations." Hop growled and pulled the arrow out of his chest, he laughed, "Heh, nice move, Xan."
In Sebek's dream, he was talking to his previous life, the sage Banto. "Tell me more about Akkran and Voll, what are they?" Banto pated Sebek on the head and said, "Well it's the equivalent to Heaven and Hell really. Akkran's sanctum houses the magic Holy and Voll is where Meteor went after the Elemental Jewels were taken from the sanctum in Merrnia Kingdom which is now in ruins. Akkran now towers high above Heaven and only ones who are sages can enter and Voll was buried deep into the depths of Hell, anyone who has sinned can enter there without a problem." Sebek asked Banto, "So why did I come back after this millennium of chaos?" Banto smiled and said with a nod, "So you could save the world and bring light back to the three realms. Voll wasn't always in Hell you know, I once lived there. When that kingdom sunk, the people fled, but the king did not. The same thing happened in Akkran, Ying told me so herself when the kingdom was taken up there, their king went with it as well." Sebek said with a laugh, "Guess those kings weren't meant to be." Banto sighed deeply and said, "I expected you to say as much..."
