Deep within the forest, Kenzo and his friends Aoi and Sara are hiding from the monstrous beings called Altox, a 7th foot black, boneless abomination that can kill millions of warriors if they are ever grouped. This being has enslaved almost 75% of the population of Tevier, leading to a great war between the last standing capital, Koshibo. The princess of Koshibo, who is Sara, was tasked with following this strange ruby stone given by his father. Kenzo said to the princess, Why do we need to follow the ruby stone again? Sara replied because my father said it would lead us to hope and a chance to stop this war and even free the enslaved population. I was thinking very hard about what Sara was saying and said, Are you sure we need to follow the stone and not because your father tricked you so you can run away with us far away from the capital? Sara replied that he wouldn't do that; he wouldn't lie to me, and I saw his eyes telling the truth. Both Kenzo and Aoi looked at each other, still not fully believing it, but in the end agreed on following the stone. The three journeyed day and night, following the light-emitting ruby, hoping that it might give them a chance to end this war and save the land of Tevier. While on their journey, the Altox was hot on their tracks, tasked with killing the princess and destroying the ruby stone. Three days have passed since they travelled deep within the Aruarian Mountains. Sara is observing the ruby stone in her hand because of how much light it's emitting. Kenzo saw this and said, We're close, aren't we?. Sara nodded and said, Somewhere here is the key to stopping this war; we have to find it. Aoi replied to Sara and Kenzo, saying we will start searching tomorrow. It's night time and there are monsters lurking in the mountains, but Aoi was thinking that he should have sensed if there are monsters in the area, even if it's a weak one, but there's nothing as if the mountains are dead quiet. Aoi further analysed the situation and thought that maybe there was an activated cloak spell on the mountains, so no one could sense or locate anything in the area. Aoi proceeded to try and dispel it using his magic, but nothing happened. Aoi spoke with Kenzo and Sara, who are sitting right beside the campfire, and said, I think we are the only ones here in the mountains. Kenzo replied, How can you tell? Aoi proceeded to explain to them what he had gathered while he was thinking and came to a conclusion, saying, I think all of the monsters in the mountains are dead. Sara replied to Aoi, saying, "What?" How is that possible? The Aruarian Mountains haven't been touched by humans for more than 800 years, they should be infested with high-level monsters. Kenzo, who is anxious about what he heard about, brushed it off and said to Sara, Don't worry, princess, I’ll protect you no matter what. Even if it's against all odds, I’ll still be here to protect you. He proceeded to smile and look into Sara’s eyes, but was suddenly cut off by Aoi, saying, Are you a fucking low-IQ bitch? Acting cool in front of the princess and saying, “I'll still be here to protect you,” Aoi proceeded to grab his shoulder menacingly and whisper in his ear, I know your after her tits. Kenzo turned around confidently with eyes full of light and hope and said to Aoi, Hell yeah bro, with a thumbs up. Suddenly, a powerful lightning spell was fired at the princess, but Kenzo acted fast and deflected it with his sword, and said, Are you alright, princess? Sara, who was caught off guard, said yes. Aoi told Sara and Kenzo the Altox is here. Run! Aoi proceeded to chant a spell, saying, I cast on to thee the blazing rods of hell, hell blaze! Suddenly, a powerful wave of fire shoots out on Aoi’s staff and spreads around the area to block the Altox’s path. The Altox walks on to the eternal fire, taking no damage as if it were wind on their faces, and proceeds to run. Aoi sensed the incoming dangers and told Kenzo there on our back run! Kenzo shouted at Aoi to give him a boost spell, which he did. Kenzo proceeded to grab Sara and Aoi, and with one heavy footstep ingraining on the earth, he ran faster while holding them. Kenzo told Sara and Aoi we need to find the key somewhere fast. Sara told Kenzo to put her down and buy me time to find it. Kenzo and Aoi both agreed. Aoi chanted another spell, saying, I call on to thee the one who cannot be named, dark lazarus! In a blink of an eye the running Altox’s got stabbed in the heart turning them to ash, kenzo proceeded to charged on to the altox who are in the trees and sliced them mid-air with ease one by one. While fighting Aoi and Kenzo noticed that each time they kill an Altox they become more stronger and faster, Kenzo and Aoi realised that they can only fight for so long until there overwhelmed by the amount of strength the Altox have meanwhile Sara is running deep within the mountains following the ruby stone’s light, Sara thinking to herself that she needs to find the key she needs to save Kenzo and Aoi, the people of koshibo who are endangered and all of Tevier before it's too late, rain started to pour in the sky while Sara is running, she notices that the ruby is shining blood red now and she said to herself i’m close, she then ran again but slip into a mud pile making her fall into the mountains deeper she picked herself up and looked at the ruby that was shining very strongly now, she picked up the ruby but then sensed a presence at her back, she quickly looked back and saw Kenzo's beated body which have multiple stab wounds and an open chest, Aoi's half burned body that was vomiting blood saying princess, Sara’s eyes widen in fear and was shaken to her very core on what she saw, her hands shaking and looking at the ruby which was no longer shining, Sara thinking to herself what's happening the stone, Kenzo and Aoi’s body, i c-can't fight the-m the-re s-stronger i-i don't see a-anything that can h-help with th-e w-ar, d-did my father lied to me about the s-stone? Why why why why, Sara’s mental state started to shatter by the mere presence of what her current situation is. The Altox let go of the bodies of Kenzo and Aoi, who were barely breathing, and proceeded to walk towards Sara. The arms of the altox morphed into a blade with blood dripping. Sara couldn't run anymore because of how scared she was. She could only scream for help with all her might. Thunder struck in the midst of her screaming. Sara opened her eyes and saw all of the Altox we're cut into thousands of pieces and turned into ashes in one fell swoop. She couldn't comprehend what just happened and could only breathe anxiously. The area was covered with the sounds of thunder and rain, but Sara felt a presence at the back of her shoulder. She turned around slowly while stuttering with fear and saw a human with a black cloth on his eyes and big nails struck into it. Sara then fell unconscious.
