•Chapter Two: A tragedy•

"Everything started in an unforgettable tragedy... Blood... is all i can see"

Explosions can be heard from afar, people nearby felt so hopeless. Not one survived that night but one.

12 hours earlier*

"Harley get back here!"

Lesley stated loudly

Harley laughed and created a diversion by going inside the household and leaving his clothes on the armor display.

"Hmph, think you can trick me this time harley!"

Lesley shouts as she runs quickly to find her brother

Little did lesley know harley was wearing the suit of armor and acted like a display.

5 hours later, Lesley and Harley was eating dinner.

"Hiding in an armor display huh?"

Lesley spoke out of nowhere

"Yeah! I almost laughed hard just because you took the "Trap" i made, guess you could call me Mr.Reverse-psychology"

Harley happily stated

"I see..." Lesley said

By this time lesley saw the will burning down through harley's veins, Harley doesnt like Guns and Bullets but Magic.

7 hours later. It was in the middle of the nigh when this so called "Arcane Tornado" demolished the village and the household killing thousand innocent people, leaving every single one dead. but one.

"Waking up knowing that your whole family has been killed by that incident... makes me wanna have... vengeance... to make them suffer the pain I had to go through, to wipe out all of its loved ones... leaving them to dust."

Harley sadly stated

A few years have past. Harley decided to go to a place called "The Magic Academy" but first he must know where to go. Beneath the caverns of Mt. Alhou you can find an Elder Man named "Ghalak" with having the ability possess the All-Knowing Knowledge but he is not a God, having advantages has its own disadvantage. He may know all things in life yet he is doubtful to himself and is very untrustworthy.

As Harley get deeper in the cavern he feels a disturbance of concentration, like a heavy force squeezing your mind moments later he pasts out.

Harley feels his legs being dragged he tried moving but he is weakened. Minutes later he wakes up in a bed made out of rock but its texture is soft and comfy, almost as if it is softer than cotton. Harley tries to get up but can't.

"Ah so you have woken up!"

an unfamiliar voice joyfully stated

"W-who are you, where am i?"

Questioned harley

"I am cursed with knowledge and that is what you ask?

I am Ghalak the Elder man they speak of, you were under the space hypnotization trap I've setup, so no-one can come close to my peaceful den i was the one who dragged you here, you know for a small boy you could be a bit heavy"

Ghalak Explains

"G-Ghalak!?"

Harley asked surprisingly

"Oh i see you have heard of me... most of the people have known who i am"

Ghalak stated

"I-I would like you to answer some of my questions!"

Harley ask hastily

Ghalak went quite for a few seconds and sadly stated:

"Im afraid i cannot answer any questions that only i know no more than 3"

"W-Why not?"

Harley asked

Ghalak replies

"My powers cuts a part of me. once i answer questions my lifespan will be cut until it will be reduced down to 1 second or worst a millisecond. After your 3 questions i will be at the state of death. You only have 2 questions by the way"

"Uhhh-Fine... my second question... Which way is the magic academy?"

Harley asks as he chooses his words more wisely

"It is hidden in the forest not far from here. Go north and you will probably see a big sign.

Harley makes a face dissapointed at himself

"ok?. and for my third question... how can i save you? no... more specifically... how can i bring back the souls that died?"

Harley asked

Ghalak laughs and replied

"When i die there is no turning back. but i will be back in the next few generations.Revived. But i will forget this exact moment. To bring back the souls who have lost their bodies you must find a person who rules death. Faramis. he may not help you but if you talk it out of him he will give it away."

Ghalak replies as he slowly fades and merging from the caverns being one with the mountain.

Harley wakes up to find himself back outside knowing that he has not entered the cavern yet nor meeting Ghalak but the knowledge he got from Ghalak has been planted in his long term memory. Without even thinking Harley quickly heads over to the Magic Academy. Starting his journey with a tragedy.
