Prologue - The Scrolls

“Get a move on! We need to get there by sundown!” yelled an angry middle aged man while swinging his sword widely in air venting his frustrations at the caravan behind him.

“Father Ronald please calm your anger were almost there” A gentle looking girl with blonde hair no older than 16 spoke next to the middle aged man.

Hearing his daughter voice behind him Ronald finally calmed down. “I know Helena but we’re still too near the forest we can’t take any risks, and your here with me.” Facing his daughter behind him Ronald can’t help but feel guilty putting his daughter in danger.

“Father.” Seeing her father’s anxious face Helena held her father’s hands to calm his aching heart.

“Those Damm nobles..” Gritting his teeth in anger Ronald didn’t even want this job in the first place but it paid well the only problem is the trip is dangerous and he couldn’t leave his daughter when those damn nobles had their eyes on her.

“Worry not Helena this will be the last job and we will move to the capital!”

“Yes father” Helena obediently nodded, she knew her father’s aches and worries ever since her mom died it was just the two them.

“Ronald sir the scouts have returned there was no problems ahead!” A young man equipped with leather armor reported in while giving a salute.

“Good after passing this point we should be saf-“ ‘pssh!’ Before Ronald even finished speaking an arrow flew by and pierced his chest.

“Father!!!”

“Helena...” Clutching his chest dripping with blood Ronald fell the ground.

Suddenly a horn being blown could be heard followed by yells and wild growls coming out of the forest.

“It’s an attack!”

“Men arms up!”

About 40 green crude looking creatures no shorter than a child armed with old swords and axes equipped with dirty animal hides came out rushing at the caravan in a wild frenzy.

“Goblins!”

“It’s a horde of goblins retreat!”

The 10 soldiers guarding the caravan couldn’t help but shake in fear and run away.

“Noooo!”

“Help m-..”

It was hopeless before they could retreat goblins got there in no time, cries of anguish and pain can be heard as the goblins attacked with only one purpose, to kill.

Not far away about 10 li away hidden in a bush was a young man watching silently.

“Why is there a goblin horde all the way here...?”

“Looks like it’s not safe to gather Jum Jum berries here anymore..” Scratching his head the young man felt lucky to be alive but also disappointed since this was one of his best source of income were gathering Jum Jum berries at the outskirts of the forest.

Wondering what the young man should do next loud crying could be heard.

“Father!!!!, why!” Helena was crying hysterically on the ground holding her dead father she didn’t even notice the death around here.

Four goblins started slowly walking up to Helena prying her off her father pushing her to the ground then started ripping her clothes off. Soon cries of pain and suffering could be heard as the goblins defiled Helena.

The rest of the goblins after killing off everyone in the caravan started dragging the bodies back in the forest, also grabbing back whatever interested them.

“I’m sorry I can’t save you.” The young man whispered and looked away.

After the goblins left the young man waited again quietly for another hour as a precaution then walked towards the wrecked caravan while holding a dagger in his right hand.

‘Nothing left..’ shaking his head the young man can only feel disappointed since the goblins took every worth of value.

“What this?” About to leave the young man notice something on the ground, an old small leather bag.

“This is scrolls?” Opening the bag two old paper scrolls were inside tightly wrapped in white silk. Carefully unwrapping the scrolls the young man was surprised that he almost dropped them. “No way...Manna control and Fireball!”.
