Trang 3Prologue
Deep into the century, a sorcerer of notable standing created many artifacts for non-magically aligned folks to fight off an ancient evil The artifacts included amulets of a particular type One of which was the Amulet of Release The quantity
of these amulets are not known for many were destroyed in the war, and some were seized by the darkness
Trang 4These ancient evils were corrupted spirits of the ancient ones They were once in fact mighty dragons who grew tired
of being branded evil by their very look and took action into their own hands to stamp away their threat but, it was these very acts that led them to the path of evil
There are still yet many good ancient ones that remain but they have kept themselves away from man
Through long hours of discussion, the council of the
Trang 5wise ones decided to lock away forever the power of the artifacts
The stories told were long ago but, now is now
Trang 6Chapter 1
Michael sat at the
computer staring at the screen wondering what the hell to do This was the most boring night ever, sure yesterday was boring but this is worse, because it was still boring Tomorrow will probably be the same and he will end up suffering the never ending chain of boredom
It was kind of ironic for him as he muses the fact that at work he works predominantly
Trang 7with computers and yet here and now he was staring at one, when
he finally got home
Sometimes he wishes something would happen, anything at all; a meteorite maybe or even a tiny war Anything would do to stop the growing madness inside of his head If something doesn't happen soon he fears that he would become delusional
Before he knew it he had
Trang 8brain seems to have shut down, and he was operating on
automatic He became amused at this fact but only just
Then it came, the
screeching of car tires in front of his house, the sound of metal scraping across concrete and a loud bang, no…many loud bangs
as if guns were being fired, and then the roaring sound of
something Then everything slowed down
The wall seem to peel or rather seem to bend unnaturally,
Trang 9a small crack at first then metal pierces through the wall, it was like an action movie that he was participating in The car came racing through the left side of the wall with him still sitting where
he was
Another second and he would have died, he had reacted without thinking, he leaned back
so much that the chair fell over with his feet sticking in the air while his desktop computer along with half of his bed was wiped
Trang 10This was not happening,
he had saved up so much for that computer, and he even had to forego eating to buy it
Michael felt so angry at the injustice of this but could do nothing about it for at that point
in time the roof decided to cave
in on him
He had never been one for claustrophobia for the fact that he had never been in a closed space but, now he is and
he struggles with his all to pull
