Prologue

 

The air was filled with the acrid smell of fire, destruction, and death. Where once the majestic town of Sombra stood, now only abandoned remnants of buildings and roads remained. The ruins of the town were strewn with the former inhabits of the city and an air of panic and despair remained. The soldiers of Seier solemnly went about their duty of securing the remains of the town and searching for survivors. Suddenly, there came a shout from one of the soldiers, and two of them emerged carrying a smaller figure. The smaller figure was clearly a small child. The child had short brown hair which currently was littered with dirt and some debris. The child was a girl and when the two soldiers drew nearer King Arain and his escort, the King was slightly disconcerted to see that he recognized the child. It was Anzu. She was the daughter of Solomon's neighbor. Who's Solomon? Solomon was the primary reason the King and his escort were even there searching the destroyed city. Solomon had been a General in Arain's army and had performed many heroic deeds before his retirement. In recognition of his accomplishments, Solomon had been awarded the title of Lord and granted the lands near Sombra.

 

“Child, what has happened here, how has this happened?” inquired the King. “Your Highness, it was soldiers, Lord Solomon said they bore the crest of Pegasus.” Anzu answered. “Where are Solomon and his family? Have you seen anyone else since the attack?” The King demanded. “No. Your soldiers were the first I have seen. I was with Lord Solomon and Gioco at the beginning of the attack, but was separated.” Anzu replied. Gioco was the name of Solomon's grandson and heir. The King had been hoping that Gioco and his own heir Yami would someday be great friends. Aside from this, it would be a great loss if Gioco had been killed as he had the potential to become a powerful mage. The King turned to address the two soldiers who had found Anzu, “Take her back to the palace and have the servants place her with the other children.” “Yes Sire” they both answered.

 

Two of his Generals approached. “My Lord, we have found no other survivors.” “What of Solomon and his grandson?” the King questioned. “We have found no sign of either one my King, but it is likely they were killed by the enemy soldiers.” “Very well, if you have completed the search of the town, gather the soldiers and we will return to the palace. We have a war to wage.”
