 Chapter One: Falling out
"Just lay down , nothing is going to happen to you nor the kingdom. So please calm yourself my king," urged the Queen as she pushed the king back to bed.
    I walked into the bedroom chambers to where the king and the queen where.
 "Aidan, come close. I have something I wish to tell you," said the king.
  As he struggled to sit on his back,I helped him sit while leaning on the bed.
 "You and I both know I do not have much time to live...." he said raising a hand to stop me from speaking " I am entrusting you with sword of reign, you know what to do when...," he was cut off with a prolonged cough.
  "Father,calm yourself. Getting better should be your concern at the moment," I said.
  Although it looked pretty grim since he was coughing up blood. Although there was no immediate threat to us from the neighbouring nations I wondered why...
  "Threats are not only gotten from the outside, but also from the inside," said king Flaun.
  I know what he meant. Nobody could bare to say it for it was painful.
  "Go into the Greliu Forest, find The Owan and show him the sword. He shall know what to do,keep the sword safe no matte...." Father broke into a prolonged cough ,this time spitting out blood.
  "Go Aidan, time is of the  essence. I'll take care of your father," said mother.
 With one last look, I rushed out of the room holding back the tears that tormented my eyes.
  "My love, don't you think its too soon. The boy is only sixteen."
  " I know,but you know what the Oracle fore told me of that boy. I have faith he will  succeed,if not,this world as we know it will end." 

Chapter 2: Separation
 The four guards that followed me were slowing down my pace as we ventured into the Greliu forest. It was odd enough I had not seen my older brother at our fathers side,not even his aura could be felt anywhere.
  "Halt, we shall rest here for a while," I told the guards.
They were already worn out by just trying to keep up with my speed. I levitated a few meters high and started to meditate. Finding the Owan's aura was not going to be easy.
  I gave up after a few trials. If I couldn't find him through his aura, I was going to make him find me. I gathered all my chi and  spread it out with enough force that even the Owan would have to take notice.
  As I settled down on the ground I didn't notice the presence that was hidden behind me until it was to late. I turned around drawing my sword but someone hit me from the back. Damn it, there was two of them. 
 "Finally, the sword is mine!" Said a voice which sounded so much like my brother.
  Its like they had waited till I had used up my power to attack me. My vision was already getting blurry, I wasn't going to hold out for much longer.
  "Caldin open the portal, our work is done here."
 With those words I saw them walk into the blue portal,my body gave out and I blacked out.
