Alright, this is the first chapter. This is my first time doing this, so don’t expect the greatest story ever. lets see how it goes. It’s kind of graphic in the fight scenes so it might not be good for kids under 13 to read. im using Earen, and Leana is explained in his bio. link in siggy.

Character pronunciation for the first chapter- Leana-(Layna)
Earen-(Airin)
Dir-Tord-(Deer-tord)


Chapter one- letting go.

As Earen walked down the street, clutching Leana’s hand, they noticed there were not a lot of people around on this beautiful morning.

“Take off that gauntlet, its so cold and rough, it makes my hand ache” She said, taking her hand back. Earen unbuckled the gauntlets and shoved it in his backpack. She grabbed his hand again and he felt just how small her hands were compared to his.
She grabbed his hand suddenly and looked at the skull-like burn on his hand.

“Why can’t you heal that ugly thing?” she asked him staring at his hand.

“I don’t know, I have tried again and again, but it won’t go away” He said, looking at it too. Suddenly Leana turned her head and looked at something.

“What is it?” Earen asked looking at her.

“Look at that church, it’s so beautiful in the morning sun” Leana said, looking at the old near destroyed church. “Let’s go inside it” She said and ran to the doors. Earen ran after her but stopped as she opened the old doors.

“This doesn’t feel right at all” Earen said staring up at the steeple. “Oh come on, its fine, you’re so paranoid.” She said, shoving him playfully. She grabbed his hands and they walked into the old church. they looked around, and then they saw a dark cloaked figure sitting on the steps up to the altar.

“Who are you?” Earen yelled at him. The figure did nothing but stand up. It put down it’s hood and Earen took in a sharp breath.

“Run Leana. NOW” Earen said drawing his blade. “what is it Earen?”

“He is a death knight” and as Earen said this, the death knight drew his blade. Earen ran forward, ready to clash with the death knight. The death knight charged forward, and they clashed with a loud “CLANG!” of steel and sparks flew as their swords grated the others. Suddenly Leana cried out and Earen looked back. She was hacking at dark tentacles coming out of the wall. He turned back and the death knight smiled. He dropped one of his hands and drew a long dagger, and rammed it into Earen’s stomach. Earen pushed on the clash and they broke apart and Earen fired a bolt of light at the death knight, and he flew back, crashing into some benches. Earen ran to Leana, blood pouring from the wound. Leana was overrun by the dark tentacles but Earen grabbed onto her arms.

“I, I didn't want any of this to happen” tears dripping down onto her hand.

“We didn't want a lot of things to happen, but we will get through it” Earen said, the blade wound spilling blood onto the cold stone ground.

“We can fix it, we always have” she said, tears dropping down her face.

“I am not going to let him take you” Earen replied, fighting back the urge to cry out.

“You have to Earen, let me go, I WILL see you again” she said. He released her hand and watched the dark tentacles take her away. Earen jumped up, the wound bleeding faster, but he didn't care. He grabbed his blade and he slashed at the tentacles but she was too far in,

“Let go Earen, I WILL see you again. The wound will kill you, stop please!” she cried out to him, pleadingly. He stopped, and he fell to the ground.

“Leana, please, let her go” Earen said as he heard the heavy footsteps come towards him. A chill ran through his body, and the room was cold as winter now for some unknown reason.

“now Earen, son of Shanahea, you shall die” said the cold, heartless man standing above him. Earen fists tightened and the healing magic surged through his body, and he felt the wound close up and the bleeding stop. His hands curled around his blade, and he was ready to fight. The death knight’s hands curled around the hilt of his blade, and prepared to deliver the final blow. Earen rolled over and shot a bolt of light at the death knight. He flew back, totally surprised. He crashed to the ground with a thud but quickly got up, throwing off his cloak. Earen jumped up and ran toward the death knight. He swung his blade up, slicing the hand off the death knight. The hand flew across the old crumbling church, and the death knight screamed out in pain. His sword started glowing with dark energy as he wielded the blade with one hand. He ran at Earen and jumped up for a downward stab. Earen rolled out of the way and shot another bolt just as the death knight landed. The bolt hit him in the side in an explosion of black blood and chunks of black armor. The death knight stood up, and leaned on his sword, a big hole in his side. Then he started laughing.

“You stupid boy, you cannot beat Dir-Tord, 6th of the 7” He said laughing crazily.

Earen ran forward, and the last thing he saw on the death knight’s face was fear as he looked into Earen's eyes when he cut off his head. Earen wiped the black sludge off his sword on the death knight’s cloak. Then he remembered Leana. He looked around, but the black coils were nowhere to be seen. Earen grabbed Leana's sword and sheath and strapped it on his back. He through his hood over his head and walked out of the near destroyed church and headed out on the north road towards the frozen plains and Leana.


Well how was it? good? bad? awsome? mentally retarded? Give me your input.
