Prologue-Night Ambush

The night sky began to set in, as the sun vanished behind the foothills of the Celcio mountains. The Tall trees gently swaying as the wind picks up. A Man sits on a large rock with a cloak covering his face and most of his body. He looks at a bundle of sticks lying in the center of some stones. Starting to shiver, he pulls his cloak tighter and looks towards the stary sky. The stars starting to shine through the treetops. Moving his head back down and to the sticks and starts shiver through his cloak.

Extending his right hand out, an orange circle forms in front of his hand. The pattern of interloping diamond with three interlocking circles in the middle of the circle. Flipping his hand over and raises it up, Ignatius, the Man said in a firm tone. Flames burst to life in the center of the wood pile and engulfs the sticks. Immediately feeling the warmth of the fire, he throws his cloak back and leans forward, watching the shadows dance with the orange glow.

His fine light tanned brown tunic had elegant gold patterns running along the seams with brown leather straps across his chest. His thick black leather boots with brass buckles on the sides were covered in mud. His tanned leather gloves where slightly worn grey rune on both gloves. His thin leather pants were a light tan, a steal buckle on the front around his waist.

A snap echo’s out as the man shoots his head in the direction of the noise. He jumps up from the rock and looks around the area as he only hears a light breeze in his ears. Going quiet he extends out his arms and keeps his elbows bent. Loud clinks echo out with a loud thump coming from in front of him. The Man raises his right hand as a silver ring forms in front his hand. The ring had a crossing pattern with and four interlocking triangles. Guardis, The Man said. A shining magic shield quickly forming in front of him. The bolt stopping as it hits the shield and breaks it. He stumbles back as the excess energy hits him, the bolt lands on the ground.

The sound of heavy armor begins to clank as the attackers begin to charge. Seeing his attacker charging from all around him. He recognizes the Solaris Templars, as a feeling a dread and adrenaline flush through his system.

Their steel plate armor keep clanking as they draw their swords. The fire illuminating his attackers. The armor on their chests were rounded with curved shoulders as chain mail covers their gaps. Their chests have the rounded cross that rises upwards, five interlocking lines with wave like lines make up the star of Solaris above it. Their rounded angled gauntlets have some runes on them. Their rounded angled boots were sinking into the earth. Their kite shields have the star of Solaris on them. Their swords were long and thin. Their steel helmets were rounded back with a triangular point at the chin. Their eye holes could be seen in the dark as a crimson golden cloth hangs around their waist covering their legs.

Two Templars in the back take aim with two-handed crossbows as six slowly advance. The Man’s heart racing as they take aim, his breath starts to become unsteady. A Knight captain comes out of the trees and makes his way to the front of the attackers. Gold edging runs along his shoulders. Surrender Spell tongue, knight Captain said. A priestess keeping to the shadows. The Man pauses as he spots nine more templars in the trees, getting his breathing under control and examines his surroundings. The wind picks up, he hears wings flapping in the air. The Man reaches his hands out as the flaps get closer. Nice and easy just the way I like it, the Knight Captain said.

Quickly forming a fire symbol, he slams his hand down. Ignatius, the Man said. The fire dies out and darkness engulfing the area. The Templars stumbling around as their eyes adjusted. The Man forms a white ring with a bright circle in the center. He throws his right hand up. litus, he said out loud. A ball of light launches into the air and explodes and illuminates the area. The Templars quickly cover their eyes. He hears the flaps get louder. The light quickly fades away. Templars scream as their eyes adjust.

Loud snaps ring out, as branches break. Loud crunches ring out as metal crashes into the ground. The man forms a fire glyph around his left hand. The Man raises his hand into the air. Ignatius, he said. Fires quickly ignites all around them. The Templars look around and sees the two crossbowmen and another missing. The knight captain shaking with rage as he steps back towards the priestess. Capture the Spell tongue, the Knight captain screams. The Templars began to rush forward with their swords extended. The Man forms a blue ring with circular diamond pattern with a square with four triangles around the tips in the middle. The Man pulls in his arm and spreads his fingers. He quickly targets the approaching templars and throws his hand forward. Aquias, He said. A dozen blue circles began to form around the templars. The Templar’s stop and raise their shields as they brace back-to-back.

Ice spikes began to fly out of the circles. The Templars hardly reacting as ice spikes pierce through their shields and armor. Blood begin to pour from their armor as the Templars falls to the ground dead. The knight Captain looks over the bodies, his anger building. Send in the reinforcements, the Knight Captain screamed! The bushes began to rustle as more troops approach.

A single female templar rushes out of the trees and into the fight. The Templar rushes through the ice and dead bodies as it raises its shield and holds steady. The man sees the Templar coming right at him as he forms a fire symbol clenching his right hand. The Man opens his hand and flings it forward. Ignatius, The Man said. The Templar stop as the fire blast’s its shield and stops her. The blasts heating up the Templar’s shield. She steps to the side and throws her shield towards the man. The man steps aside as the shield embeds itself into the tree.

The Templar rushes as she swings and thrusts her sword with a ruthless elegance. The man steps back and stumbles over the rock and quickly regains his balance. The Templar reaches the tree and pulls her shield free and rushes forward. The man swings his left hand over and pushes out his palm. Ignatius, he says with a strain in his voice.

The Templar braces her arm and legs as the heat seeps through the shield. The Man stands still with his hands raises with glyphs ready to go. The Templar bends her legs and rushes forward. The man flings his hands forward and opens his mouth. Reaching up, the templar knocks his hands away and swings the shield around and strikes him on the right side of his head.

The Man feels a sharp pain in his head as he stumbles back. His vison starts to swirl and fade and falls forward and crashes onto the ground. The man weakly turns his head and sees the Templar sheathing its sword. The Templar reaches up and removes their helmet. The Man sees long blond hair fall out of the helmet as his eyes close.
