The crystal heart

Prologue

        "I'm Authmar, I have been walking for two years to finish my quest. My love's life was taken by the warlord that rampaged my village." It is time to get my revenge on Themistocles, he will pay for the ones he has killed. I will take up sword and shield to fight back against his pestilence of bloodlust.

        "I'm Grace, It has been a week since I was made to watch my family be slaughtered by the murder, Themistocles. I will make him pay." It is time to get revenge for my family. I take up bow and arrow to fight the onslaught of murder that Themistocles has brought. 

        "I'm Ruxomarth, I'm a scholar in the art of magic. I escaped the grasp of Themistocles, but my brother was not so lucky. He was taken by the tyrant." I take up my magical spells to save my brother and to stop the brother stealing, backstabbing warlord. I will make his blood paint the ground.

         "I'm Trinity, Trinity Valence. I'm a thief. Themistocles did nothing bad to me, but still I must get revenge, haha wow they are idiots." I take up a knife to steal all the money. I need to steal money and really anything just for fun.

Chapter 1: The hunt - Grace
        I wake to a branch breaking, it makes me draw my bow. I turn and I see a deer, I aim... I take a breath and shoot. It is a hit but not a killing blow, the deer runs. The dear is bleeding out, I follow the trail of blood knowing if I don't get the deer I will starve in the coming week. The trial leads a dried river, the dead dear is in the bottom of the river bed...

       A loud crash makes me jump. I look around, I see a tall and strong man. 

"hello who are you? Can help you?" I yell 

He replies with " help meeeee"  he said in a weak voice and fainted. As I  walk towards him I see a pool of blood accumulating. I start to run I quickly, I find the  source of the blood. It is an knife deep in his leg. It does take long for me to tend to his wound by taking the knife out, cleaning it with alcohol, then wrapping it.

        I set up camp and bring him into my small tent. Now that I have time, I examine him. He is tall, brown haired and has skin like leather. His eyes open and they are the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.

Chapter 2: what is your name? - Authmar
        My eyes open to the most beautiful sight a human, not a goblin, not an Orc, a human and a girl nonetheless. We take a solid minute just staring at each other. She is a medium sized girl, or woman? She is skinny, she must be starving, her red hair glints of the sun. Her eyes, green as summer's grass...

          I sit up and look around, next to me is the corpse of a deer, I jump with a yelp. She with a concerned look said in a worried voice 

"What is wrong? Are you hurt more?" then she followed my gaze. She said in a humorous voice "Oh... that's my pet, Lucky." Her laugh is music to my ears. I replied to her joke 

"It doesn't look lucky, it looks dead!". She falls over laughing I realized I love her and I don't even know her name. When it seem she stopped laughing I ask her name.

"I'm grace. I'm a huntress. What is your name, mysterious man in my tent?"

"name is Authmar. Where Am I?". 

"You're in the lost woods, do you hear that music? that's how you find your way out, but if you get lost you will become a skeleton kid, and trust me you don't want that." Grace told me. 

"That explains where I am, but why with such a pretty little girl like you standing above me" I responded. 

"Oh thank you" grace says, blushing.
