The Eyeries-1:An Unwarned Journey Begins

The flight was becoming boring, as Krad dully looked out through the window. He turned his head and looked at Luke, his older brother. They were making a flight from Perth, Australia, to New York City. While they were going peacefully, Krad looked back out the window. He saw the shining sun, the blazing sea, and beautiful sky. And when he noticed it, he screamed it to the rest of the people in the plane, "Everybody! The plane is going for a crash landing! Get your parachutes!" that moment everybody started a huge commotion, and when the pilot came in, he said, "Everybody just calm down. I'll get the parachutes! You just wait. No wonder the plane had been shaking. Who was the one who told you about all this?" asked the pilot. "That young man over there."Said a man in the background. "What's your name kid?" the pilot looked at Krad.

"My name is Kradius Eyerie, but people just call me Krad. This is my brother, Lucus Eyerie, also known as Luke." replied Krad. "Good things be unto your souls, Krad and Luke." said the pilot. The pilot ran off for the parachutes. He came back with them. He gave everybody parachutes except for an old man. Krad was the first one to be given a parachute, so he decided to give his parachute to the man. The man thanked him dearfully and flew off when the pilot opened the plane door. "Hurry up people! The plane is gonna crash!" said the pilot. Everybody got out of the plane one after another. Krad was the last one to get out. He was standing near the door.

"What are you doing kid? I already gave you a parachute. Hurry up and get out of here. Where is your parachute anyways?" the pilot said again, "I gave up my parachute to one of the passengers. You go ahead, I'll catch up with you later."Krad said simply, "You sure about this, kid?", "Oh, I'm more than sure. You just get out of here.", "All right kid. Just make sure you survive. You saved us last time, and you are a hero. None of us want to lose you. Especially that brother of yours. ", "You just get out. This plane is going down." said Krad. The pilot briefly set up his parachute and jumped out. Krad stood there, and just got Luke's and his own little bags that had some supplies in them. After that, Krad went to the pilot room, and contacted the nearest airport. His father was a pilot himself, so Krad knew a lot about plane stuff. After calling the officials, Krad ran to the door and just jumped out, without a parachute. He saw all of the 500 people, or so, floating down to the sea. In the distance he could see another figure, he was skydiving, too. "Hey! Luke!" Krad called to the figure. Krad could see the figure's head turn towards him. The figure then stood in a upright position, rather than the upside down position used for skydiving. He used the upright stance to slow himself down. Krad gradually caught up with the figure. And it wasn't Luke, it was a young lady with goggles on her. When she saw Krad, she took off her goggles and made them hang around her neck, "See you on the flip side, kid. You will see me again, except not around Earth. Remember me, I'm Aerial.", and she winked at Krad. Krad blushed, and was about to say something. But before he could do anything, he splashed into the water, and went unconcious. As he awoke, he found Luke beside him. They were next to a campfire, "Hey, bro. You finally woke up." said Luke. Krad woke up puzzled, "Where the heck are we?" Krad was puzzled. "I don't know. I just explored these woods, and found a lot of monsters, so I came here. I was walking when I saw you fainted, so I made a camp here. This place is pretty weird. It looks nothing like Earth." said Luke, "Alright. I just think we should rest up a bit. We gotta prepare for tomorrow.", "Yeah, you're right. Okay, let's just take a snooze." So they went to sleep, and when they awoke, they saw a beautiful sun rise ahead of them. After washing their faces with their water bottles, they decided to move, "I think we should move towards the sun. I see an ocean there, and maybe we'll find a seaport there. And where there's a seaport, there's civilization. Let's go."exclaimed Luke. "With you all the way, dude."agreed Krad. So the Eyerie brothers started thier travel. They saw many new plants and creatures. Not all creatures were peaceful ones. They saw one that had sharp teeth, glaring eyes, and a spiked out body. It was about the size of 8 1/2 feet. A humongous monster, and it looked very, very menacing. And it had a terribly large axe. Such a terribly large axe. It looked at the brothers with a cold-hearted eye, "Hmmm....You look much like the heroes of legend. Krilaia was right, if heroes come, there is always trouble. She said something about two boys, and to get rid of them, so you little troublemakers must be it..............Die!" roared the ugly thing. The ugly thing picked up his axe, and held it high in the air, as if it were ready to swing. Luke and Krad saw it coming. They grew up in the dangerous streets of New York City, and had many fights with many people. It was just some old-school New York City slack, so they got a lot from it. And deciding not to fight, the brothers started running. It seemed as the road ahead was never going to end. While running, Luke saw a huge black fort, that looked like anything but good. When Luke peered over his shoulder, he didn't see the large beast anymore, but saw much smaller monsters. Four of them. They were a little taller than Luke, and instead of axes, they had hammers made of bones. The Eyerie brothers knew how to fight, maybe even monsters like these. And finally making a silent decision, the two turned around. The time to fight was, no doubt, the time to fight. First, Krad clenched his hands together in a position so that Luke could jump high off them. And after jumping, Luke landed right in the middle of the beastly group. He used his skills from there, sending all of the monsters flying. Krad then jumped off their heads one by one, and started swinging in a circle using a branch. He broke off the long and strong twig, and jumped back in front of the confused monsters. Krad swung his twig hard at each one of them, and then he held the branch and was now swinging horizontally and kicking the Boneys one by one. Eventually, they became so dizzy, that when Luke kicked each one on its head, the head came off. "(pant)(pant)(pant)Piece of cake, right Krad?" plainly Luke was tired,"Yup. We were on those Boneys like leaves on a tree branch." said Krad, and as he reluctantly looked at his leafless branch, he laughed to himself. The brothers then picked up the weapons used by the mysterious beasts. Just then four more of them came out of the trees. The brothers easily smacked off their heads with their newly-found hammers. Then they hung the hammers on their belts so they wouldn't have to hold them all the time. The hammers were very light, yet they hit very hard. While walking, the brothers found a big wall. Luke climbed it and looked around,"This is an island, Krad. And all the way there, I see a boat. It has...six of those things we've just seen on it. Also, there are about five people! There must be a town nearby! Those people are being held captive! Let's go rescue them, Krad!" said Luke. The brothers ran forward, and when they reached the boat, they practically slaughtered the beasts with their hammers. "Thank you! Thank you so much! Say, were you prisoners here, too? More people are stuck in the Black Fort over there? You don't look like you're from Elcarim to us. Where are you from?" said a man from the group of hostages, "We are from----" Luke was interrupted by a smashing on the ground. In the distance, the brothers could see the same creature that they were running from before, and this time he was running after them, "Hurry up! He's coming! Cut the ropes! Let's set sail! We have no time to lose!" screamed Luke. A woman quickly cut the ropes. The boat was moving, and the brothers leaped onto it. "Grrrrrr....our next meeting will be our last! Curse you, Krilaius and Kriliono! Bash the Mazrit will destroy you!" roared Bash, "So, his name is Bash, huh? Well, that's something new. Why did he call us Krilaius and Kriliono anyways?" said Krad, "I don't know. All this legend and Krilaia thing he's talking about is really freaking me out. Oh well, at least we'll be a lot safer outside of this island." replied Luke. Half an hour passed, and the brothers could see another land in the distance. And when they reached it, they saw nothing but a ruined town. It was completely broken down, and they learned from many of the villagers that the island they just came out from was Grimfang Island. They helped out each of the villagers with some chores, and they quickly got respect from all the village. It was a little while later when they asked the Mayor Ostaf, "What is that big house all the way over there? Is it yours?" asked Krad. "No, not mine. Mine is right here. That one is the home of Thalor, the Wise, Green Sage of the East. My friends, you are in Yendis the village, which is in Anacados the country, which is in Acirema the continent, which is in the world of Elcarim. Oh yes, I think you should go visit Thalor's home. He is a great person, and so is his daughter, Aerial." exclaimed Ostaf. "Aerial?!" Krad thought in his head. The name was just ringing in his head. It seemed so familiar to him. It was in the back corner of his head, but he just could capture it right. He decided not to forget about the subject, and just walked along with his bigger brother. They tried to come in through the first floor. It was locked, and when they knocked, nobody answered. They were about to leave when they saw a flight of stairs next to them, leading to the second floor. When they peeked in through the doorless entrance, they saw a floating green man. He was doing some kind of meditation, with his back facing the Eyerie brothers. Krad took one step, and little did he know, that this one step he took, would change his life, along with his brother's life, forever. Because when he took that step, the creaking, woody noise was heard by the green man. The man quickly turned around, "Hey! You two! Come here!" screamed the Old Man.
