Crystal Wings
Prologue: My Wings Are Courageous
A 13 year old boy with silver hair and green eyes stood in the middle of a dark room. On the table before him lay a pendant, the chain golden and the stone yellow. This was the fabled Pendant of Courage, Nersh's treasure. Vince picked it up and placed it upon his neck, this treasure had been passed down through the years from the most courageous of men to the next generation. Last generation, Vince's father had not been able to recieve it, but maybe Vince could...and his family would become well known. The moment the pendant rested upon his neck, his outfit began to change into golden armor with draconic wings. He blinked and stared at this strange new armor. Was this what he thought it was? The Legendary Crystal Wings?!
"What... the hell happened to me?!" he said.
"You have been chosen by the power of the Courage Dragon, Vince." a voice said.
Out of the shadows stepped an old man dressed in blue robes with white hair. He was using a staff as a walking stick.His eyes were gray, but behind them was a feeling of security and wisdom.
"Who are you?" Vince asked.
"I am Wizen, the Dragon Sage. I know all about the Crystal Wings and dragons. I have lived amongst them since I was the apprentice of the old Dragon Sage." Wizen replied, "As you know, you hold the power of Crystal Wings. But now you have that power, you must leave this town...for the sake of all who dwell here."
"Why?!" Vince asked, "Why do I have to leave my sister?!"
In a low whisper, Wizen answered: "Beause men will stop at nothing to achieve the power you hold. Your sister is in grave danger if you stay here. I know of a place beyond the hills where a man by the name of Lunamis will take you in and train you in the powers of Crystal Wings."
"But...why can't you teach me?"
"Vince, I cannot teach you because I do not yet understand the powers. Lunamis will know how to use them, as he also holds the power."
"I...will go...but only if I can say goodbye first...."
"Very well, you may say farewell to your sister. But you must leave before sunset. There are many things unfriendly in the darkness."
"I will."
And at that Wizen dissappeared and Vince's armor disappeared and he was in his normal clothes. Vince stared down at the pendant, this was the reason he had to leave the only thing important to him behind? He would only fear for his sister's safety. And he walked out of the room.
