This is my first story, based on the Wilderness, the Mage Arena, and a man named Dalak. Chapter 1: Wilderness Travel Dalak wandered past the large Bounty Hunter volcano. His heavy rune platemail was weighing him down greatly, and the Godsword he scavenged from the God Wars dungeon wasn't helping. Then, he heard a soft sound, like wind through a magic tree. He turned around and a small gray whirlwind was about 5 feet from him. It then morphed into the ghosly form of an orc. He read a line from his prayer book in his pack and a purple bubble surrounded him. The goblin fired a gray ball at him, but it dissipated on contact with the bubble. Dalak walked on and reached the gate that seperated him from the deep Wilderness. He pushed open the gate, and walked through and closed the book as the bubble vanished. Chapter 2: Mage Arena Dalak saw another gray whirlwind in front of him. He leaped and ducked behind the rubble of an old building. He took three astral runes, two cosmic runes and one law rune. He threw them above his head as they fused in a ball of red light and formed a red skull that came down on his head. Dalak also started to glow red. He ran out from his cover and the orc hit him with a white ball. Dalak was knocked down as a red ball flew out of him and hit the orc, which died on contact. Dalak got up and saw the large, hexagonal building; the Mage Arena. He changed into his Mystic Robes and pulled the lever. He appeared inside a large area with two people. He walked up to one in blue robes. "Do you know if Kolidion is here?" asked Dalak. "Well, why do you want him?" the man replied. "I heard I need to challenge him to get a god staff". "Well, I just happen to be Kolidion. I challenge you!" Dalak was surrounded in a purple bubble, and was in another large place, but like the Wilderness, not a building. Chapter 3: A New Kind of Magiks Once both were ready, a bell rang in the distance. Kolidion held his hand out as a purple shadow of a flail appeared. Soon enough, a flail was held in Kolidion's hand. Dalak managed to dodge it as the [bleep]ed ball flew past his chest. It caught his robes, slashing them a bit. He Threw a set of runes at Kolidion which formed into what looked like a blue rope. It held Kolidion in place as Dalak threw another set of runes which formed into a dense cloud of smoke that engulfed Kolidion. "Heh. I have him now" said Dalak. Through the smoke, though, he could see Kolidion taking something out. It was an enchanted branch of the Dramen Tree. Then Kolidion drew a circle around him said and something in a language not known to Dalak. "Kentana Masican Arcana!" A ball of blinding white light appeared from the middle of the circle, above Kolidion's head.. The light grew, expanding nearly as fast as a Bouncer blew up at the Void Knight's Outpost. Dalak was knocked back by a force of the light. He felt like he was being hit by a thousand air waves at once. He was knocked back about 10 feet, and his shoulder was hit against a sharp rock sticking out. Dalak yelled out in pain. "If you're wondering what his magic is" Kolidion said, "it's called Deztrean Magiks, after the lost city of Deztria. It allows you to make weapons out of runes, cast many rituals, and so on. Too bad you wont get the chance to learn them". A ball of red light came out of Kolidions hand and hit Dalak right in the face. And then nothing.
