Chapter ll

In the Enchanted forest, ancient trees covered the entire night sky. Warriors of the Lord of Light were traveling through these lands with haste. They found some bloodstains on the ground. A warrior dipped some blood with his finger and smelt it closely. The mixed smell of blood and mud seemed to reveal some information. The warriors of light had to shorten the distance between them and the forces sent by the Lord of Abyss.

They knew the woman who left her people out of love belonged to the forces of Light, and she had to be brought back. They started running faster towards a valley far away from the battlefield. Deep in the Forest, a tribe in the valley emerged into view. Black and golden figures have approached the valley entrance. A bit deeper from the entrance, the young couple is dragging their wounded bodies trying to arrive at the tribe. They heard before that this tribe is the hometown of prophet mages in the Land of Dawn. But more importantly, the ancient legends recorded that a powerful object was kept in this valley --  The Twilight Orb. Legends say once the Twilight Orb is activated that its immense energy can end all wars.

This couple was both from great families. However, one family served the Lord of Light, and the other served the Lord of Abyss. Tired of war and the conflict between their two royal houses, the couple escaped in pursuit of peace. They desired a peaceful life not only for themselves but also for the entire Land of Dawn. Unfortunately, the more they wished for peace, the more oppressed they became.

Orfax, carrying his wounded lover, belied the world didn't have to be like this. He came to know of the Twilight Orb from the Lord of Abyss. As one of the divine artifacts created by the Unique God, the Twilight Orb had enough power to grant its owner unquestioned rule over the Land of Dawn. Orfax hoped to gain the Twilight Orb in order to bring everlasting peace to the land, a world with no war and know idealogical conflicts–Only then could he safely and peacefully be with his love.

Although but a myth, Orfax was held onto his belief in the Twilight Orb and was determined to find it. When Orfax brought his pregnant wife to the tribe, the most honorable chief had already known why they traveled to the tribe. This prophet's tribe didn't want to get involved in this war, but also couldn't accept a reality where this loving and wounded couple would have to face war another day. At first, the chief tried to persuade them to leave.

When the couple began begging for safe passage, the forces of darkness appeared behind them. Black smoked fumed out of twisted creatures, without the proper armor anything that touched the creatures would succumb to darkness. The chief of the tribe desperately tried to declare that the tribe was neutral. However, he was swiftly killed by followers of the Lord of Abyss before finishing his pleas. Monsters destroyed the whole tribe without mercy and kept looking for the woman, Orfax's love. No matter how well she hid, the monsters of darkness could sniff her out. Orfax was desperate to stop the monsters but still couldn't fight numerous enemies. A sudden scream attracted everyone. Monsters rushed towards the scream and began tearing an ancient building apart to find the origin of the sound. No one knew when the crumbling walls would fall. Suddenly a shining light killed all the monsters inside. The golden and white warriors joined the fight, wielding their swords. When the light and darkness started to fight against each other again, Orfax who came for the dark side, had to avoid Light Warriors' attack in order to save his love from the collapsing building. Monsters of darkness kept attacking the building. When citizens of the tribe were running away from all sides, Orfax stayed close to his love and shielded lots of energy attacks against her. He looked at her face with tears dropping from his eyes. Orfax kept enduring blow after blow against his body. Gradually, he couldn't take any more. The Warriors of Light were relentless. When Orfax was about to die, the sudden cry of a baby burst out into the air. Warriors stopped attacking, and Orfax smiled.

When the forces of Light and Dark were still fighting one another, a great energy shock pulsed through the land. Both light and dark forces were damaged heavily. A baby covered with a gold and black halo was born. No one knew if there is a relation between this baby and the energy shock. But the shock has solved the crisis of war. The baby was named Lunox by her mother.

Far away from the valley, on the vast battlefield, Lord of Light and Lord of Abyss were enjoying the war. However, at the moment that Lunox was born an enormous halo appeared above their heads. Both Lords felt that the mysterious ring was trying to absorb their elemental power, while their forces had lost control of themselves. The two celestial Lords worried that they might lose all of their power, quickly they disappeared and left. When the armies of Light and Darkness left the battlefield, the light ring gradually vanished. While many questions laid unanswered, one thing was for sure–The mysterious halo brought an end to centuries long conflicts.
