Setting
A Planet with dust storms undiscovered territory, Animals, little water, and dry land ruled by Arris Vyrn who has taken his fathers place in the throne, heated sources and amazingly built homes This place is loved by many and is named Achenik, but as the sun goes down the evil beings come to play and the temperature drops down,
Hourglass Soldiers are vile souls lost in the remnants of battle...
Arris burst through the doors to the main chamber. He had lost his usual calm personality, which was replaced by a rage that could be felt by all in the room. "The Hourglass of Sorrows has been found shattered and five children have been gone missing, including my younger twin brothers. We will be sending a raid at once." A small group of Arris's trusted friends and warriors immediately grabbed their cloaks and weapons. As his group of warriors, well known as the Wyverns, reached the stables, Arris noticed the unease of his dear friend Xinan. "State your unease, friend, and then forget it. The plains are no place for distractions." Xinan had a serious look on his otherwise gentle face, "This I know. But if the sands held captive by that hourglass have been released, then it's certain that the Hourglass Soldiers have been as well." Arris replied, "Can you seal them once more?" Xinan hesitated, then nodded. Arris returned the gesture and mounted his *Go-thark before turning to the others. Four faces turned to meet his steady gaze. The Wyverns were ready. "Today we ride to bring back our kin. Today we fight for our people. They have faith in us! Don't fail them!" The Wyverns then rode towards the city gates with a loud battle cry, and into the perilous plains ahead...
*Go-thark are horse-like beasts that are used as mounts in battle. WARNING! Go-tharks are incredibly fast, and very vicious.
The Wyverns protect the people, even if death is their consequence...
Just as Arris kicked the last of the Hourglass Soldiers into the new seal that Xinan had created, Kahliki called him over. Arris wiped the sweat from his brow and went to her. "What is it?" Kahliki looked a little pissed off. "I've been trying to get whoever's calling you to come back later, but they seem incredibly persistent." Arris sighed. "So it's come time for that huh?" To be honest, Arris wasn't looking forward to it either. But it was simply something that had to be done. Xinan finished sealing the Hourglass Soldiers, otherwise known as the Sao'ols, in a new hourglass. Then he came over to them with a frown. "I told you something was going to happen today. But to be honest, Kahliki, I'm surprised that you haven't told the person calling off with vulgar language and your usual..." Xinan paused to cough for effect, "Manners..." Kahliki stuck her tongue out at Xinan childishly, her leopard-like ears twitching in annoyance. Soon, Taziel and Sarit joined them. Arris lead the group back to the royal city of Destra. "You're being awfully quiet Taziel. I expected as much from Sarit, but you usually have something to say." Taziel nodded, "It's because we all know that this 'changing of leaders' is nothing except trouble..." Arris grumbled slightly in agreement. It's because of the switching of leaders that the Sao'ols even existed. Lost in their own thoughts, the Wyverns reached the stables and dismounted. Now with the missing children safe, he needed to respond to his other duties as the Chieftain's son. "Kahliki, call the contact back and tell them that it's safest if we meet here, on Achenik. We are the most peaceful of the planets so it's for the best." Kahliki gave a small, playful salute and did as she was told. Arris and the others began the trek to the great hall. After all, there was still much to do and so, very little, precious time to do so. Just before Arris opened the doors, Sarit placed a steady hand on his shoulder. "Whatever happens, we will always be by your side, and follow your lead..." Arris nodded. "And for that, I thank you, my friends." If even Sarit was on edge because of the rotation of thrones, then a terrible fate was on it's way...
