Chapter 2
The two of them reached a nearby woods and Aquila sighed. "It's going to take forever to follow the path around the woods..." "Why?" Tyreal asked. Aquila looked at him, puzzled. "The shortest distance between 2 points is always a straight line. So therefor, we continue travelling north." "B.. but" She stemmered. "But what?" Tyrael asked. "My dad told me to never go into the woods." She said. "And why is that?" He asked. "He says that there are savages in there... Ca... Canibals." She stemmered again. "You don't have to worry." Tyrael said confidently. "I'm here, aren't I?". Aquila gave in and followed Tyrael into the woods. Going through the forest, Tyrael noticed some scenary moving but ignored it. "Tyrael... Can we stop for awhile? I'm tired..." Aquila said and sat on a bolder and massaged her legs. "Well... Ok then." He said and was about to sit next to Aquila, when he heard something. "What? What happened?" She asked but Tyrael did not say anything. Suddenly, Tyrael quickly slided his right foot back and an arrow struck where his foot used to be before he moved it. Tyrael dodged another arrow which flew past his neck. He quickly grabbed Aquila and 2 more arrows almost hit her. He slung Aquila over his shoulder and ran. 2 savages came from behind them, "TYRAEL!! THEY'RE TAILING US!" Aquila screamed. The 2 savages drew their blowguns and began shooting at Tyrael, but he quickly made a sharp left. They were cornered and more of the savages came. "Stand behind me." Tyrael said and reached into his pouch and took out a greenish-blue gem. "Rune of Wind!" He commanded and a powerfull gust of wind blew from his hand and kept their persuers at bay. He quickly redirected the wind to the ground and with his other hand, grabbed hold of Aquila and they both rose upwards and they landed on a small nearby cliff. "I guess we're safe for now." Tyrael said but when he turned around, they were suddenly surrounded by savages armed with spears, all aimed at Tyrael's throat. "This isn't the first thing I would imagine when you said safe." Aquila said sarcastically. Suddenly 1 of them grabbed Aquila, but before Tyrael had a chance to save her, someone knocked him out from behind.
Tyrael groaned as he returned to consciousness. "Rest, you are injured." A female voice said. He slowly opened his eyes and noticed that his shirt was missing and a young woman was cleaning the dirt off his body. "AQUILA!" He shouted and sprung back to life and accidentally headbutts the lady that was cleaning him. The woman passed out while Tyrael stumbled onto the ground. He got out of the tent and held his head in pain, he looked around to find Aquila but she was nowhere to be found and then he fainted. Again, Tyrael awoke and noticed a young woman in another bed next to him. "You have a really strong head." A man's voice said. Tyreal stayed still as he could not find the strength to move or talk. "You need your rest."
He felt better the third time he woke up. He started to massage his head, a well built man, about 6 feet tall entered the tent and sat on the bed where the lady lay unconscious. Tyrael quickly stood up, "Where is the girl I was travelling with!?" He demanded. "Calm down traveller. She is in the tent next to us." The man said. Tyrael quickly dashed into the next tent and saw Aquila and some girls from the tribe doing something to her hair. "Tyrael! You finally woke up!" She said. "What are you doing to her!" He shouted. "Relax, She is just having her hair braided." The man said as he entered the tent. "Doing what?" Tyrael asked. "It's ok Tyrael, I'm fine." Aquila said. Tyrael went back into his tent and sat on his bed. "My name is Ezba. The tribe chief's first born son. " The man said. "Hang on, first you were hunting me and the girl like animals, knock me out, and now you're being friendly to me? Frankly speaking, thats not a really good way to earn my trust." Tyrael said. "I am sorry, you were traspassing our territory, but... Something happened.." He said, "My sister's dream came true." "What dream?" Tyrael asked. "She said that there will be a time were the world will be in great danger. But a warrior, a powerfull warrior, who would walk through the dangerous woods as if dancing through poisonous arrows with out harm. He will fight the great evil." Ezba explained. "But that doesn't explain why you knocked me out." Tyrael said. "We needed to be sure that you come with us quietly." He said. "You could have just asked...." Tyrael said under his breath. "So, where is your sister?" He asked. "Here" Ezba said and pointed to the young lady who was unconscious. "Oh! Sorry..." Tyrael apologised. Suddenly, the girl awoke as if from a nightmare. "THEY'RE COMING!!" She screamed and grabbed hold of her brother and tears came out from her eyes. "Who's coming?" Ezba asked. "4 demons... Led by a.. a 5 tailed demon. They are coming... Coming to distroy our tribe and the world." She said. "I must tell father!" Ezba said and quickly left. The lady got up and started crying again. Tyrael couldn't help but to sit next to her and offer his shoulder to cry on. She looked up at him and had a shock of her life. "You." She screamed. "What? me? What did I do?" Tyrael rambled, shocked and puzzled at the same time. Ezba and his father came in, "HIKU! What did you see?" they asked. "4 demons... First a demon who has no shape... Then a demon which kills with the sound of thunder... A demon of silent death and a 5 tailed demon." She said and started to cry again. "When will they arrive?" He asked. "I don't know... I can't remember... The screams... The screams.. He must not stay... Not more than 2 moons.." She said. "Who me?" Tyrael said, "Why?" Ezba asked, "If he stays.. He won't live.. He won't forfill his destiny." Hiku explained. The chief and Ezba took Tyrael out of the tent. "Father, this is the warrior that Hiku fortold. The 1 that would fight the great evil." Ezba said.
"Him?"
"Me?"
Tyrael and the chief said in unison. "Very well, my son.. Then he must leave." He said. "But the other warriors want to fight him." Ezba said. "Why" He asked, "They don't want to believe that he is the 1. They expected someone more..... Stronger looking" Ezba said, looking at Tyrael, who was 5'7" while most of the warriors in the tribe were over 6'2". "Whats that supposed to mean..." Tyrael growled.

CHAPTER 1
A dark figure steps out of a razed building and stumbles onto the ground, clad in black and spiky hair that looks like a lion's mane. The man lies down, holding a deep gash at his abdomen. 'I guess, I wont' be coming back.' He thought to himself.
10 years ago
A young boy screams as he sees his own mother being decapitated by raiders. "Kill the boy" One of them said and was about to kill him but then a man burst into the room and fought the raiders with incredible speed. The raiders quickly left the village and the young boy burried his mother, "If only I was stronger, I could have saved her..." He cried. The stranger went up to the boy, "Do you still want to be stronger?" He asked. The boy stood up and looked at the stranger. "Yes, I do!" He said and with that, his life would change forever. As they left the village the stranger asked, "Whats your name?" and the boy answered, "Servantaez". The stranger laughed, "Thats a lousy name for a fighter, I'll call you." The stranger paused as he thought of a name for the little boy, "Tyrael, yes. From now on, your name is Tyrael"
As time goes by, young Tyrael grew stronger. And he also proved to be gifted in controlling the rune gems. Tyrael became a dasing young man. He was great in fighting hand to hand as well as with weapons. Unfortunatly, the stranger didn't live long enough to see him through. He was bitten by a snake and the poison raced through his body. Tyrael tried to save him but the stranger said, "Tyrael, my fate was unavoidable. You must travel eastward. To the island of Ioa. There is a great library and in it is a map rune, it has 4 pieces all over the world. The first piece will lead you to the second and so on. Use them to search for the Zod rune and distroy it." and then he breathed his last breath and died. Tyrael cried and burried the stranger and vowed to complete the quest even if it leads him into his grave.
As instructed, Trael travelled towards the east and after 2 week of continues walking, Tyrael rested but when he woke up, his pouch which contained his rune gems was missing and say someone running away with it. He chased the thief and when he cought the thief, he noticed that it was a little girl, about 14 years old. "Please sir, don't kill me, I needed the money or else my family will be thrown in jail because we can't afford to pay our taxes." She explained. Tyrael shook his head and put the girl down, "Take me to your village and I will see what I can do to help." She led Tyrael to her town and took him to her father. "Father, father, this man is going to help us with our taxes." She said. "His that true?" The girls father asked. But before Tyrael could say a word, the tax collector came, demanding money from the villages. He was a small man who was accompanied by 2 knights, 1 weilding a sword and the other armed with a war hammer. The tax collector went to the girls father, "200 gold pieces. And you're harboring a traveller, another 300 gold pieces." He said. "But we don't have that much money!" The girls father. " Take him away!" The tax collector said. "STOP!!" Tyrael shouted, "I have never heard of such nonsence! The tax is obviously too high and he shuldn't need to pay for my stay.". The tax collector's face boiled with anger, "Guards! Kill him!". The knight with the sword tried to slash at Tyrael but he dodged it and then quickly backflipped as the other knight tried to bash him. Tyrael quickly took out a rune gem fom his pouch, "Rune of Fire, RAH!!" he shouted and then his hands were consumed with fire. He attacked the knight with the sword first, each blow had a small explotion.Next, he went after the knight with the war hammer. It was about to smash his face when suddenly, a ferret jumped onto the knights face and bit his nose. The ferret jumped off the knight's face and Tyrael gave an explosive punch to the face. He dispelled the rune magic and returned the rune into his pouch. "Stop right there or else I'll have" But before the tax collector could finish, Tyrael punched him straight in the face. "Who's the head villiger here?" He asked. "I am." The girls father said. "I want you to report to the king about what this man have done and request for a fair tax collecter." Tyrael said. "BEHIND YOU!!" The girl screamed as the tax collector got up and drew a knife and was about to stab Tyrael from the back, but Tyrael quickly cought the knife between his palm and broke the blade. With the blade in his hand, he stabbed the tax collector in the neck, killing him instantly.
After helping the villagers clean up the mess, the girl's father went up to Tyrael, "Thank you so much for your help. May I ask where you are going?" Tyrael smiled and answered, "I am travelling east towards to find the Zod rune." "Tyrael, you may take my doughter with you." He said. Tyrael raised his left eyebrow and asked why. "She wants to see the world and I can't take her because I need to take care of this village. Tyrael nodded. An hour later, the little girl came out of her home, "So where are we going?" She asked. "To the east, but first, whats your name?" Tyrael asked. "Aquila, and this is my pet, Caleaf." She said and took out her pet ferret. "I owe her my life" He said with a smile. "Ya, she knows."
