Chapter I:
Land of Gravince
Characters: Sheldon (DyingStar) Cameron (stunna1173) Christian (Jacob) Destinie (Movie_Geek_)

In the land of Igros, just east of the great kingdom of Hyland, south from Irony, and west from Uplia lies the peaceful village of Gravince. Gravince sits in peace with its many hills that goes on for miles. At the northern border of Gravince is the mighty Silence Woods. Three villages are in Gravince and all are peaceful and careful with no wars or troubles.
Mayton being the furthest village south. Is home to Elisha Diadem who traveled east in Uplia with Galatians the Wise and Marth Silvers. Their adventures took them to a mighty mountain. Elisha is now an old man in his late fifties and his son is but twelve who is named Elijah. Marth has a daughter named Destinie and she is twenty but her father died when she was eight and Elisha took her in. They live on the biggest hill with a stream running on the western side of it. Destinie watches Elijah all the time while Elisha is at work and looking over his books.
Marton being the furthest village east. Here is the home of Bradon and the mayor of Gravince. The mayor is named William Kerry and is an honest man. Marton has the biggest militia with around thirty men. Bradon is part of the militia and is owner of a large piece of land in Marton. Marton also holds the Festival of the Moon every year to celebrate the birth of Gravince.
Merrierton being the furthest village north. Here is the home of Alextor. Unlike the other two villages, this one is part of Gravince but is not owned by Gravince. The King of Gandrian gave his younger son that village. Jaro was his name and he became Count of Merrierton. Jaro has an elder brother named Joran that is heir to the throne of Gandrian. Jaro is a brave soldier, captain of the guard, and ranger of the south.

South of Mayton an old man wonders towards the large hill of Elisha. The old man is wrapped in a blue robe which is fastened at the waist by a brown belt. The sun is bright but a large brown pointy hat shades his face. All you could see of his face�s features is the tip of his nose and his grey beard. He pushed most of his weight on his staff as he walked. The staff was long and reached his chin. He circled the hill and came to the stairs that led up to the house in the northeast. A small wooden fence surrounded the house and a small stream circled the western part of the hill.
From the porch of the house you could see most of Mayton. A vast village that is far and wide with farmlands here and their. Children ran freely in the village playing games and singing songs of old. The old man reached the large green door and two windows sat on both sides of the door. Their curtains were drawn so you could no see inside. Three chairs sat on the porch with a small footstool. The old man used his staff and softly hit the door three times.
�Who is it?� a voice shouted from inside. The voice was soft but deep with a sort of parrot sound. The old man smiled for he knew the voice well. The voice came out again, �I said �who is it?��
�Tis an old friend� the old man said. A noise came from behind the door like someone unlocking it.
�Galatians� a man said. White hair covered his head but he had smooth and fair skin with bushy eyebrows. He was wearing a blue jacket and blue pants with a red shirt. He smiled and continued, �come in, come in.�
�Elisha we meet again� Galatians said steeping in. A round table was in front of him with a fireplace behind it. Four chairs circled the table with maps and books on it. A bookshelf sat on the wall next to an open pathway. Candles were lit and you could see the kitchen behind the pathway next to the fireplace.
�Is it the fourth already?� Elisha questioned heading into the kitchen. A teapot sat over a fire with a small line of smoke coming out of the stout. A long table sat in front of the fire with some cheese sitting on it. Galatians removed his hat and placed it on a rack in the kitchen and then laid his staff along the wall. He sat down on the closes chair too him.
�It is but the third� Galatians said, �but I made great timing this year and you don�t think I would miss the Festival of the Moon now would you?�
�You love the festival� Elisha said pouring two cups of tea and handing one to Galatians. Pots were everywhere and so were plates and cups. Elisha sat down in front of the table, �come now. Tell me of your adventures.�
�Not now� Galatians said, �for once I tell you I will also have to tell your son and Marth�s daughter. Let�s wait for them to come and then I will be more then happy to tail you everything.�
�Very well� Elisha said, �I wonder where those two are. I haven�t seen them since morning and it is almost dinner time.�
�Those kids have too much of their fathers in them� Galatians spoke merrily, �they will be fine. I can tell that they will do something someday worth tailing about for years to come just like the young lads Elisha and Marth who traveled east over many perils.�
Elisha sat silently for a moment in deep thought and then said, �you will look after them? I shall not return to see them or look after them.�
�I will� Galatians said, �as often as I can. If that will be days, weeks, months, or years I will look after them.�
�Good� Elisha said, �I shall leave everything in Destinie�s name and leave behind my greatest treasures to Elijah. Everything will go to them expect a few items I will carry with me in the east or maybe west. I haven�t decided if I want to see places I haven�t seen in awhile or never been.�
�Your maps and your book will go along with you as well as some gold and of course cloths?� Galatians asked.
�Of course. And my pendent� Elisha said with a finger in his pocket.
�Pendent?� Galatians asked, �through all my long years of knowing you I have never seen you with a pendent. When did you get it?�
�A long time ago� Elisha said, �a very long time ago. I can�t remember exactly where I got it but I remember it was nearly fifty years ago I got the pendent�or found it. I can�t remember.�
�Strange� Galatians said, �you remember the littlest details of are adventures but you can�t remember where you got a pendent. Maybe a good night rest will refresh your memory. You shall stay for the festival won�t you?�
�Of course� Elisha said, �I wouldn�t miss it for the world. For I shall miss the festival and all of its lights but I shall not miss it as much as my Elijah and Destinie.�
�Then we wouldn�t mind showing me this pendent of yours?� Galatians asked.
�I don�t mind at all� Elisha said pulling out a blue sphere with a yellow metal outline with strange writing that spilt and formed a cross. In the middle of the cross sat a red sphere. Galatians gazed on it and say the writing:

Mnbuu bexugl me fguimu ere, i mexug me bgemufum eru, ir irkuv me koigh eru, mnu burhurm ej urhvull, mnu burhurm ej lmugrkmn, mnu burhurm mnum fir�m clu lmebbuh irh am al fivvuh Fuvulmaiv

And Galatians looked upon the eyes of Elisha and said, �do you know what these markings mean?�
�Nay� Elisha responded.
�It would be best to leave the amulet here with Elijah as an heirloom� Galatians said, �a family treasure even to pass down to the next child.�
�An heirloom?� Elisha said to himself, �wonderful idea Galatians. I will leave it for Elijah to give to his son some day.�
The door opened and a fair lady and young lad entered. The boy had long hair that passed his eyes but it curled a little to stay above his brows. His eyes were blue and we like gazing into the ocean at sunset. The lady had long light brown hair that reached down into her back�s middle. Her eyes were brown like brake off an oak tree. Elisha stood and walked to them.
�My boy Elijah� he said, �and Destinie. About time you returned for Galatians the Wise is here a little earlier then usual.�
