Chapter 1: Enter: Lucius Arata

Chapter 1: Enter: Lucius Arata

Key Notes:

Scene - Describes the setting and other specifics regarding the time or place of the story

Bulletin - A way for me to describe what is happening at the moment and to describe things that are brought up during the period. Helps keep the Screenplay/Light Novel mixture of storytelling. Also, I will use the Bulletin to describe interactions a character makes during a scene.

Narrator - I will use the narrator to describe scenes that need a VoiceOver. Imagine an old man with a deep voice.

- Remember the literature that is presented ahead is very irregular and English teachers would probably say inappropriate but, nevertheless it tells a story that will all make sense so who really cares.

- Lastly, there will be many questions that you will have as the story goes on. I plan to slowly uncover things as the story progresses. Please be Patient. Enjoy!

SAGA 1 - BEFORE I GO

Chapter 1 - Enter: Arata Lucius

Scene: In the Stalia Central Hospital, Arata Lucius is on the bed talking to Doctor Zameer, an old friend of his who has been treating him ever since he has been diagnosed.

Doctor Zameer: Unfortunately, this looks like the end is approaching soon my friend.

Lucius: I assumed this woulda been told to me eventually. Damn, wish I could just live forever. So much more I could explore.

Zameer: Well, humans will only live to a certain age and who knows where we go after. If there’s another life, I believe you would be reborn as the greatest explorer once again.

Lucius: Thanks, old friend. Can I ask approximately how long I have left?

Zameer: Well, usually I can’t disclose this information without running a complete final diagnosis but, it looks like you have approximately 8 months remaining.

Lucius: Ahh I see... If you don’t mind I’m going to tell you something. Zameer: I’m listening

Lucius: You and I both know the influence I have as an adventurer. Several thousands of people strive to reach my position. I feel as though if I announce an adventure to the world, then they can help retrieve the one item I could never achieve. Located deep in the desert of Jurad, is the Broasiam. A treasure that no one knows of or knows what it does but, with that treasure being found —

Zameer: Wait. The Broasiam??? The treasure that was hidden by the 3 Ancients?

Lucius: Yes. It was the one treasure I could never ever achieve. So many battles I endured and so many endless nights of exploring with my squad and none of us could accomplish it.

Zameer: That’s cause it was impossible. The 3 Ancients are more powerful than anyone to have ever existed. Who knows what god-like powers they used to hide that thing. You gotta be outta your mind to think that anyone else today could find it if you and your squad couldn’t.

Lucius: As someone who awakened Shadowborne when I was just 12 years of age, we Shadowborne users can sense other users of any Borne types in the world. I sense some prodigies out there with the heart of a powerful explorer and I believe they can complete the Stalia Museum by placing the Broasiam in it. What do you say? Shall I announce it?

Zameer: You sense other Borne users?page3image65073344

Lucius: Yes, several thousands actually. It seems Borne is incredibly common these days to possess. None of them Shadowborne though. I chose to keep this on the low due to the “You know who”.

Zameer: Smart decision, I would say but, do you really believe that someone out there can accomplish in 8 months what you couldn’t accomplish in your whole time as an explorer?

Lucius: I will be giving clear instructions and providing a map to help them as much as I can. But, since I’m a man who would die for a great adventure, I’ll let them figure out the rest.

Zameer: I feel like you made up your mind, so do as you please Arata.

Lucius: I’m glad you’re supporting this. You are after all one of the few people alive that I really hold dear to me.

Zameer: Ya Ya whatever, to be honest, I’m kinda curious to see where this goes. Seems like the world is extremely powerful these days.

Bulletin: Lucius picked up his telephone and calls Julius Diamond a.k.a the King of Modern Media, the man who is in charge of the World News Organization.

Diamond: Lucius?...

Lucius: How ya been Julius?

Diamond: Well never expected a call from you anytime again but, I’m still in good shape. What bout you?

Lucius: Well it looks like I’m on my final year of living.

Diamond: I’m sorry to hear that. Is there nothing they can do?

Lucius: No, there isn’t. Look, I have a proposal to make.

Diamond: A proposal?

Lucius: Yes, I want to host the greatest adventure this world has ever seen. It is called the Quest of Broasiam. And I want to announce it to the world.

Diamond: You don’t mean the Broasiam treasure that you could never find do you?

Lucius: I do and before I have another 30 questions being asked by you just think about the profit you will make off of just broadcasting or releasing news regarding this quest.

Diamond: Wait... Alright, I’m in. I’ll set up the press for next week Sunday.

Lucius: Well, I didn’t expect you to say yes that quickly but, I guess different people are motivated by different things for some its food, for some its everlasting life and for you its money.

Diamond: Strange fellow as always. Anyways, I’ll get back to you regarding the conference.

Lucius: Splendid. Pleasure doing business with you.
