Chapter 1 - Rise From Rust

[18 Years ago]

Through the smoke and laying under the rubble, there he is... a young child who has just experience what a battle zone feels like, as his home has just been demolished and as to the town's people.

From the after-effects of the battle only the child survived, soon after, when the child was crying under rubble and reaching for hope, a man came across this battlefield, suddenly spotting and taking the child.

Just before the man went off with the child in his arms he spotted a shiny silver sword among the rubble with the name ANDREW carved onto the sword handle.

[Current Day]

"And that is how I found you, Andrew. I knew that day, when I saw you laying there the only thing I could do was raise you the best I can, and through all that sword training I put you through I knew you would grow up as strong and skilled as I use to be," says Forler (Andrews stepfather) crying dramatically.

"Ok, ok, that's enough. Stop crying it's weird," says Andrew with embarrassment, "Anyway I'm heading off now, to the big city of Harrendail Kingdom."

"Okay. Take care son. I'll be wishing you a safe journey. BYEEEE...!" Shouts Forler frantically waving Andrew goodbye.

Andrew walks over the hill and goes off on his first adventure. To the Harrendail Kingdom he goes.

(On the way towards the Harrendail Kingdom)

While Andrew was on his way through the forest, he felt someone was watching him, his feeling is never wrong.

"What are you doing!" Shouts Andrew as he throws one of his darts at a branch, making it break loose and fall to the ground.

Ow!

As Andrew had assumed, there was someone following him, but he didn't know who

"Undo your invisibility spell!" Andrew commands as he points his dagger at where he feels the person would be.

"Ok, I surrender."

as she gets rid of her invisibility spell Andrew suddenly gets surprised.

"Becky? what are you doing here?" asks Andrew with such confusion.

"Let me come?" Shouts Becky.

"You already know the answer to that. I can't take you," says Andrew.

"Why?" Becky wines.

"For starters your too young, too stupid, and too naive," Andrew pointing out the obvious.

"Hey! anyway I'm coming with you even if you like it or not. So yeah," says Becky with confidence as she walks past Andrew, shoving him while she goes off towards the Harrendail Kingdom.

"Fine. There's no use arguing with a kid," says Andrew giving in to her request and following behind her towards the kingdom, "Wait why am I behind you? shouldn't it be you behind me?"

[2 Days Later]

On the long and bumpy walkway is a young man (Andrew) still walking with a straight back and good posture and beside him is a girl (Becky) who is slumped and starving with wobbly legs.

"Are we there yet?" Becky complains.

"Well, you should have stayed home. If I knew you would've complained so much I should have left the village in secret instead of telling everyone I'm leaving," Andrew regretting his decision.

"Anyway, I'm surprised that your parents let you come with me," says Andrew.

"Well, yeah. they said where are you going, and I said with Andrew and they surprisingly agreed with my decision and left me in your care," Becky explains.

"Those annoying parents, they only did this because she is too much to handle even with those other 6, 7 brothers and sisters she has," Andrew whispers and complains.

"Did you say something? Andrew," Becky asks.

"It was nothing, just forget lt," says Andrew, waving his arms about.

"You sure are weird," says Becky, "Huh?" Becky looks at Andrew as she sees him looking serious.

"Come on out!" Andrew shouts at nothing.

"What are you yelling at? there's no one here," Becky confused.

"Yes, there is. Two in the bushes, one on the tree branch and three behind the log," says Andrew with caution.

"Well. Well. how did you notice? I mean we were invisible and behind objects. You two just ruined our ambush. Actually, you weren't our target it was supposed to be the princess. Everything is ruined," Evan (Boss of the team of scavengers) getting irritated, "GET THEM!" Shouts Evan in anger.
