Illuminati:Chapter 3: The start of a new journey

"I believe we have found the one Illuminati has chosen...The knights will definitely send him to search for Illuminati with the help of a rune bearer..."

The sound of a tossed coin could be heard throughout the hallways of the dark palace from the council hall, meeting place of the Gray Wight leaders.

"The coin has spoken...Avenese,leader of the Order of Time, send 5 of your disposable warriors from the Order of Time and Clarence, Head Necromancer of the Necromancer guild, send an apprentice and his or her master alongside the warriors...They shall be sent to the Illuminati search party to test the strength of the search party along with a demon I shall send."

"As you wish, Lord Puppeteer." spoke both a lady in robes with a skulled scythe and a warrior clad in a dark faceplate helmet, addressing the cloaked man shrouded in darkness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Commander, please pass this message along with 5000 gold coins to the boy called Zeon RedCrest, son of the late Siegard RedCrest, along with him, whom you may call N.A.", pointing to the fully armored soldier at the side. "Carry out this order of the highest priority now.It may very well determine our battle with the rebel group Wights."

"Very well, your highness. You can consider this done." replied the Commander of the Royal Guards to King Axozen Aljonia.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Zeon!? I think you've got a royal message sent by the Commander of the Royal Guards!" called Zeon's mother.

"Huh?Commander why are you here?" said Zeon surprisingly, as he came out from the house after a bath from his walk around the town.

"Apparently you have an important mission of some sort and this knight whom the King called N.A. will be your guide. Here is the letter from the King along with 5000 gold coins." Passing the items to Zeon, the commander departed back to the palace.

Zeon opened the letter which went:

Zeon RedCrest,
Before your enlistment, I have a task for you because I believe you can do it. Find your sister Alia RedCrest and N.A., you and Alia are to meet at the edge of town where N.A. will tell you of your mission. This mission is to be kept a secret and it will be dangerous, but I have faith in the skills of you three. You should have received 5000 gold coins as an aid to accomplish this task.
King Axozen Aljonia

"All right.This mission sounds hard even before I know what it is! Time to get Alia and prepare to leave. N.A. you head to the edge of town first. We'll see you there at sundown and rest there for the night."

-------------------------------------------sundown---------------------------------------------

"All right, we're all ready. Time for the secret mission details N.A." said Zeon as everyone gathered in the room at the inn they were staying for the night.

Finally, N.A. spoke for the first time in front of them."The mission we have this time is not an easy one. It is to seek the legendary lost sword of light, Illuminati."

Illuminati:Chapter 2:Graduation

"Zeon! Time for lunch!"The voice of young swordsman Zeon RedCrest's mother echoed from the house to the gardens where Zeon was training with his light one-handed custom silver sword with the crest of the Kingdom of Iretia made at the strong core of the sword.

"Coming, Mother!" shouted the graduated prominent shining star of Knight Academy and proud son following in the footsteps of the late Siegard RedCrest, father of Zeon who fell in the battle againest the Gray Wights, also known as Wights, a recently formed organization who seeks destruction, led by the Necromancer Guild and the Order of Time.

"Mother,I'm going out for a walk alright?" exclaimed Zeon, finishing his lunch and walking out of the house almost immediately.Just walking down the street outside his house, he was halted by a sudden cry of "Zeon!" somewhere nearby."Bored huh? Ever since we graduated, it's been kinda slack, and knowing you well enough,you definitely have nothing else to do now except wait to be enlisted into the Order of the Knights eh?" The voice came from a bright cheerful girl wearing blue sailor uniform, blue shoes and blue untied shoulder-length hair.

"Shut up, Alia. All day you hang out with your friends, come home quite rarely and never even help mother with the housework even though you've graduated like me. She did bring you up, you know. Even if you're supposed to be my proud little sister who graduated from Knight Academy's archery course with flying colours and was previously a star, graduation ends your fame, and now you're in the society now.I can only hope you'll be more sensible once you get enlisted."

"Worrying about me, Zeon? I think you should worry about yourself more, brother. Oh well have fun strolling around town to burn time." With that, Alia RedCrest, adopted daughter of the RedCrest family of Knights, pride of archers at the Knight Academy, future Ranger of the League of archers, strolled off, leaving the Knight alone to ponder about what to do while awaiting his enlistment into the Order of the Knights.

Illuminati:Chapter 1:Birth of the Chosen

"What?That light...It has been over a few million years!Has Illuminati chosen? But who can the chosen be? If he is born today, during the time of the interlocking 9 planets...It will not be good news. I'll have to look out for potential heroes in about 18 years, born at this time." exclaimed Prince Axozen Aljonia as he looked out at the night sky that shone a ray of light upon the land of Iretia.

"Greetings, your Highness. Sorry to break your trail of thought but Her Highness has given birth to a healthy boy." said the steward humbly, bowing as he walked into the room.

"A healthy boy? Well then tell my wife that he shall be named Neshrax, Neshrax Aljonia. Now do not disturb me. I have disturbing matters to settle."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh dear! There is a storm approaching upon this moonlit night. This does not bode well for your child whether male or female I'm afraid, Lord RedCrest" claimed the attendent as he ushered the doctor in to attend to Lady RedCrest who was giving birth.

"No matter. I have discussed with my wife to adopt a child of the opposite gender of our child and raise it as our own. We will not believe in a storm cursing our child." said Siegard RedCrest, Honored Knight of the Order of Knights.

"Good news, My Lord. The Lady has given birth to a boy and both mother and son are in good condition. All they need are some rest. For now I shall depart because of the approaching storm, but should there be any problems please come find me immediately." came the voice of the doctor as he came out of the room, packing his medical instruments neatly into his bag then leaving quietly.

"Since our child is a boy, dear, then he shall be named Zeon, Zeon RedCrest. We will adopt a daughter once you get better."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The light of Illuminati, the sword of legendary light is fading. Perhaps the chosen one is born? It might be Neshrax, but I will not count on it." muttered Prince Axozen. "Father, as the King, can you please collect a list of the children born in Iretia today around this time as soon as possible? This might determine the fate of our kingdom in around 20 years." requested the prince to the King.

Illuminati:Epilogue

"This sword forged from the rare,glowing mineral ore is almost completed!I shall be the greatest smith in history to forge such a magnificent sword!This glowing sword, I shall name it Illuminati."

Lightning flashed across the sky as dark clouds surrounded the smithy. The door flung opened inviting gusts of wind in as a shadow stood upon the open entryway of the smithy.

"Who are you!?Have you come to steal my ultimate creation? Be gone! My smithy does not welcome you."

Ignoring the words of the smith, the shadow closed in on the smith and before the smith knew what was happening, he laid on the floor motionless with his body in two parts.

"Finally,"hissed the shadow."The sword I have been looking for...Illuminati is now in my hands."

With the passing of the smith, the Illuminati was heard for a few years before its presence vanished and its owner found dead in the mists of Ravenwood, his corpse slowly consumed by the the native ravens found in the dark misty forest maze.
