Chapter 2 - The Mission (1)

The gate opens and Ark is greeted with a view outside the village, the Hijau forest, which extends as far as the eye can see. Observing everything around him, he follows on the right side where there is a small trail that is almost imperceptible if you don't know it exists. Continuing for a little while longer Ark arrives at his goal, a not too big cave that was home to some animal, but has been abandoned for years. In fact, it was abandoned, now there are those who use it.

Entering the cave it is possible to hear voices of people and Ark already known those voices, after he arrives at the place he meets with his four friends and they realize that Ark has arrived. The first gets up and says:

"Finally you arrived Ark, we thought you forgot" says the first, a young man who appears to be the same age as Ark, with short stature and a little overweight.

"No, Coga, I had some problems so it took me a while" of course, considering that when he woke up he had really forgotten what he was going to do today as a problem thinks Ark.

"So since Ark is here, shall we start?" The other young man speaks, who is taller than Coga. With his dark skin and sharp eyes, he exudes a feeling of confidence.

"It's fine with me," says the third young man, who is actually a girl, not very tall and with her golden curls, which gives her a feeling of harmony and calm, an unusual appearance in the village.

"..." Just the last girl in the group nods. With her long black hair and ivory skin that is complemented by deep blue eyes. Even though she is young it is noticeable that she will be a beautiful lady when she becomes an adult, however, in those deep blue eyes they demonstrate some kind of non-physical problem.

To close the formation of the youth group is Ark. Taller than his peers and with a distinctly colored hair, silver like moonlight, as well as golden eyes would give third parties a heroic feeling, but how nature balances everything. Ark has one of the most common faces that anyone can imagine, if it weren't for its other striking features it would be easily overlooked if it were only seen once.

"How are we going to start Natasha?" asks Ark, after greeting the others in the group.

"Well, let's split up, I think we better start looking for the north and west sides, so we can get to more places [...]" while listening to Natasha talking, the girl with golden curls, Ark starts to think about everything that happened, it had been more than six months. There were actually six of them in the group, as they always embarked on their exploration in search of ores that exist around in the Hijau forest. As everyone goes individually, they always choose to meet in a certain place marked in the forest to come back like this when the sun is up. But this time one of them was not at the appointed place and at the right time, even though the group waited for a long time there was no return.

Every day, hunters and protectors go in search of the young man, but found no trace. The great elders and Ketua decreed that everyone who was not a hunter or protector should not leave and remained so until recently. As no explicit danger sign was discovered, they could not prevent everyone from leaving for a long time.

Rumors arose in the village, that he had crossed the prohibited area and that he was caught by the Ogruks ...

"[...] So I think we should be divided into the first group being Ark and Jade. And the mon- "

"Hey Nathasha, n-anyone ... go alone, right?" asks Coga.

"NO! The second group is me, you and Herick "

"So can we go now? Because if we continue here the sun will come in and rise and we did nothing "Henrick enters the conversation.

Everyone looks at each other and agrees, then they head towards the exit of the cave, to find their missing friend, for their mission.
