Prologue Necro stood up on the railing of the city bridge, staring out at the river. The warmth of a hot bun in my left hand as his right held onto a rope that kept him from falling off into the freezing water below. Snow had blanketed the city and the people in the poorer section of the town were making as much money as they could to keep themselves warm for the winter. Icy wind blows onto Necro's face, forcing his thin cloak hood back and revealing his solid black hair as it eventually rested onto his forehead and around his ears. He did not mind though. He loved the cold weather because that meant he could buy hot food and keep warm on the way home with it. The city of Selia was slowly quieting down as the day drew to a close. The evening curfew has been slowly set in progress. Necro hopped onto the bridge from his railing and proceeded to walk home, his thin black cloaking going as far as to cover his worn out shoes. He arrived into his tiny home as the moon began to rise. "Orcen! Momma! I am home!" He called out. Orcen was on a cot reading. "Mom is busy right now. She didn't make dinner but there are still dried meats from last night in the kitchen." He says bluntly, his jet black hair nearly covering his eyes. There were familiar noises in their mother's room, the sound of a "deal" being made for money. Necro did his best to tune it out as he went into the kitchen to eat. He used their fire place rack to heat up the dried meat as he slowly ate his roll he bought. Looking out the kitchen window, he saw a amazing and bright Sky Ship. He smiled and thought, "One day I will have a Sky Ship of my own. The Phoenix. He chuckled to himself as he turned over the meat to heat the other side. Necro saw a note on the fire place then and picked it up. It read in a familiar motherly handwriting, "Happy Birthday my 15 year old. I won't be able to celebrate with you today but as a gift, look under your cot and have seconds for dinner. I love you. - Mommy" Necro could only smile as he rushed to his cot and looked under it. Orcen looked up from his book and raised an eye brow at Necro suspiciously as the younger brother pulled out a beautiful newly made blue cloak. Necro looked over it in amazement. His black one he wore was filled with holes and had been worn thin, but this was new, thicker, and heavier. Perfect for the time of year they were in. Orcen gave a soft smile and went back to his book as Necro quickly tried it on. He ran to a bronze mirror to see himself and enjoyed his new look. He felt around inside the new pockets and felt another gift. He took out a small thin box, and opened it. Inside were a deck of playing cards. He loved them sense he was a good Scammer and it helped earn a little extra money, plus they were one of few forms of entertainment. Necro returned to his meat and took it off the grate and slowly ate. He didn't get such a good taste often so he wished to savor it. Suddenly there is a loud bang in his Mother's room as a man drunkly yells, "I don't have to pay you anything you stupid fool!" A sudden loud smack is heard and the man leaves the room and the house, slamming the door shut. Orcen and Necro run to their crying mother. "I-I am sorry dears. I tried to get some money. Its okay. Mommy is okay." she says. Orcen helps their Mother up and onto her bed as Necro feels a powerful anger in him. He tries to calm down as he grabs his new playing cards. "Please sleep Mom. Its getting late anyway, so Necro and I will go to bed soon." Orcen says softly. The mother nods and smiles."Good night you two." She whispers. Necro and Orcen return to their cots and lay back. Orcen quickly falls asleep but Necro has his mind racing and can't quite fall asleep. He is snapped out of his train of thought when he hears someone opening the door and in fear, lays still and closes his eyes, pretending to be asleep. He hears the footsteps walk beside him, one person. It slowly creeps to the Mother's room. Necro opens his eyes a little and sees a shadow figure enter his Mother's room, and in silence, Necro stands and follows, but peeks into room. The figure wields a dagger over the sleeping woman and in one quick motion-- SLAM!! The Mother eyes shoot open, her mouth widened. but not a sound came out. She looked down and saw the dagger in her heart and then the shadow figure. She grew tears in her eyes, both from pain, and the thought of leaving her children. She felt a fimilar aura. She turned her head to see Necro with a horrified expression. She whispers. "Run." The word snapped Necro into reality and he screamed. Orcen woke up and heard the panic scream, grabbing his nearby hammer and running in to the room and sees the man trying to silence Necro by choking him. Orcen acted fast as he slammed into the man and knocked him away. He sees his mother as well and gasps in horror as tears fill his eyes, but he hears the man get back up. "Mom! I will come back for you!" He yells before taking Necro's hand and running as fast as he can out of the house. They are chased by the man, only for a Curfew Guard to see them. Orcen runs to the guard. "MURDERER! HE KILLED OUR-" The man, catches up and in a rage, cannot see the guard as he grabs Orcen and chokes him. The guard, is a calm and swift manner, pulls out his flint lock pistol and fires at the man, directly in his chest. The man falls back in pain and drops Orcen. Other guards swiftly run over to them and attempt to restrain the man. One Guard looks at the brothers. She looks at the younger brother as he sobs into the other's chest. She doesn't know what to do so she decides to take them to the Castle of Selia, along with the man. The man, soon thrown into a dungeon, spits and curses the brothers as they are taken inside the warm and lively castle... End of Prologue. ((This is my first attempt at writing a story here on VE and I hope you enjoy the very beginning. I had this idea as a role play originally, but everything had to be so strict onto a system i realize it did not work. So instead I wrote a story. I hope you enjoy and feedback is always appreciated. Please leave your opinions and if you have predictions or suggestions, i will be willing to listen to them. Thank you - Necro))
