Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: The kidnapped

Year 1200, 93 years after the war. Marcellia a country full of rivers with a very balanced climate had prospered becoming a conquering country, feared by the other countries. With the power of the stone had the advantage of being able to heal the wounds of the army or diseases that could weaken them, the stone was called Sanaea. They had placed it under a waterfall where it went in the direction of all the rivers of the country where the people could take it without limitations of the King, this was possible thanks to the property of which the stone was made, it was white crystalline that around the hands slid and got wet, being in contact with the water the properties of the stone were mixed and made that the water became one with the stone.

In the capital of Marcellia, Riviera a beautiful city that was built on a huge river where there were thousands of houses and castles made in blocks where they were separated by the river channels and only boats could be used and were connected by bridges. In that city was the palace of the Dorian royal family where the current King lived with his 2 children Francis, 27 years old and Lyra, 20 years old, his wife had died of an illness several years ago. Corvus was the grandson of the former King who won the war for the divine stone.

Everything was as quiet as ever but something was about to change forever, something was coming that would change the history of this country.

A messenger pigeon arrived from Solaria on behalf of King Apollo Solaris, this place was a foreign country outside the continent. The King of Marcellia Corvus Dorian was called for an urgent meeting, quickly Corvus and his son Francis with a fleet of 5 ships with 100 soldiers went to Solaria. A journey of several weeks.

2 days passed since the departure of the fleet with the king to Solaria, a messenger pigeon arrived at the ship from Marcellia, the message said that the princess had been kidnapped by beastmen. The nervous king remained silent for several seconds, he wanted the fleet to return to Marcellia.

-My King, please don't make a mistake, this meeting is important for our country," said the King's right hand man.

-Send a dove back to Cassius and let him take care of saving the princess.

Corvus reasoning heeded the advice of his hand and had a meeting that was important for the future of the country.

In Marcellia, Cassius, a young man of only 25 years old, the youngest in the history of the country to be commander of the army, held a meeting having read the King's message and sent for Captain Julian Norton.

He arrived on the scene

-Julian, I need you to assemble your squad this instant!

-Yes sir," Julian said with his chest puffed out.

Julian assembled his squad and chose 10 people, in them were his lieutenant Kyrios Lyrius a rookie of only 20 years old very charismatic, cheerful and brave, there was also Thane Roderick his friend with 20 years old a pretty funny and half scared guy, Rainer Morrison, William Russ, Dan Fisher, Thoric Cooper, Gavin Fox and not least Ronan Ryder a beast man.

The commander took charge of the squadron as the King himself entrusted the letter to him. Being all together Cassius ordered not to say anything about what happened in that room and much less what happened with the princess.

-We are going to interrogate every person who was in the last days with the princess," said Cassius.

So the squadron set out to search one by one for the people who were in contact with the princess, each of them were put in different rooms without relating to each other. First the maids, bridesmaids, then the students and they were unable to find anything. Until the princess's guards were questioned, one of them was a rookie who had just recently entered, no one knew how he got to this position being so young. Cassius told them all to leave and only he was left with the rookie, no one knew his name, he didn't want to say it either, he knew something.

Without further ado and without even going to the extreme of torture he told everything he knew, where the princess was, who kidnapped her. It was some beastly men who took her to Zarda, a very well known town, Cassius felt very suspicious for all this so easily said everything.

Quickly the Commander came out of the room and told them not to let the knight out of there and to put guards at the door, they could only give him food and nothing else.

-No one goes in or out until I return," said Cassius.

After giving the order he gathered the squadron and told them all that he had heard from the knight and they quickly set off for Zarda on a journey of several days, where more mysteries, deaths and more mysteries were to come.
