Chapter 1 - Prologue

Drip drop

Drip drop

The sound of water echoed in the cell doors. A glimmer of light appears as the cell door begins to open.

The guards opened the cells, revealing a small, frail boy. "Let's go, Holder. Your judgment day has arrived." said the chief guard. The boy didn't move as the guards began to untie the chains bounded to his hands and feet.

The boy wanted to fight back but was too weak. His brown hair was dull, dirty, and began to fall apart. His golden eyes were lifeless, unable to react to what was happening.

"All right, subject 003-65, aka Ryan Mizaki, you are being transported to your fate. Any last words?" said the chief guard, as the other two guards who were carrying him.

"Why? Why? Why does it have to be me? What have I and the others have done to deserve this?" said Ryan as he gasped for air.

"Because you have something that has to be destroyed, even if it meant getting rid of its hosts." said the chief guard.

Big doors began to open as Ryan, and numerous guards dragged out more people. It was being taken place at an arena; people booed at Ryan and the other 'holders' as they were chained to 12 different poles, into groups of three.

Ryan has chained up and a girl with green, black, and white hair with green eyes to his right. To the left, a tanned boy with silver hair and an eye patch struggled to get free, but to no avail.

"As of right now, you holders of Sky and Earth, as well as the Guardians, will meet judgment for bearing the sacred symbols of the 12 Gods, so that we will finally be free of their terror." said a masked man, standing on top of the alter booth.

The sky began to turn dark and ominous. Twelve robed sorcerers chanted an ancient language using 12 legendary books called The Darkness Compendium Manuscript. (Gods of legend, hear my call. People of darkness prepare to fall. Cast out these holders who bring you a fright and give us power beyond might.)

A magic circle has been cast on the Holders that were bounded with no means of escape.

Ryan felt great pain and screamed with agony, just like the others.

"AAAAAHHH!!!" screamed Ryan as the mark on his stomach began to burn. A great wave of power began to swell across the arena, causing the crowd to become scared.

"No more! We will suffer no more! " a tremendous booming voice yelled as the glow was too bright, and two forms began to appear with wings and the other with paws.

Suddenly, an explosion, causing the arena to shake, and people began to clear out of it. The masked man yelled, "What happened?! Where are they?!"

"Sir, they're gone!" said a guard. The masked man looks onto the arena, as there was an enormous crater where the poles were.

At long last, the gods were awakened, and all darkness will rise again.
