The Lost Kingdom

The three adventurers had gone on only a few adventurer before a few more joined in. Lupis, Tren, and Yura all became adventurers as well, moving into town. The king was able to build new shops and buildings. A Weapon Shop, an Armor Shop, an Item Shop, a Game Hall, Training Grounds, an Academy for Mages! The town was soon growing large.

(Hey, does anyone remember what event lead to Lupis and Yura finding the ancient ruins on Mt. Chill? It was before A attacked with Phoenix, but after A turned evil, right?)

One of the adventurers were not who they said they were though. A had turned on the other adventurers. With his master, The Engineer, and his minion, Space, he attacked Terran. A went to Mt. Vul, finding the Guardian of Fire, Phoenix, and controlling him. Meanwhile, Space had captured the king, Darkus, Lupis, Lupis' parents, and Yura. Their attack was going all according to plan. A rose in on Phoenix, attacking the town. Joey fought back at him, but it was too late as Cheri was poisoned. The deadly poison was shifted to Meri though. She sacrificed herself for Cheri to live. As A maniacally laughed, the other adventurers attempted to fight back, but they could not defeat the powerful Phoenix. Meanwhile, Yura tricked the guard at The Engineer's base into giving her the key. The captured group quickly escaped from their prison only to be confronted by both the Assassin and the Engineer at the exit. Darkus fought them off as the others escaped, but nobody ever saw him since that incident. Using his power of hot soup, Soup braved the cold mountains to rescue the group, however, Lupis and Yura were lost on the way back. They found an ancient ruin where they learned of the legend of the Dark Lords and Legendary Heroes. It was then they awakened Tyra and gained the God's Necklace. The two returned to town during the disaster as the king used a powerful light spell to blast Phoenix out of the sky. It was then A ran away, back to his base and Lupis gained the first guardian on his side. Then began the adventure to find all four guardians...

"That pretty much brings us to now. Well, kinda. That's all just stories that were told about the heroes and stuff. It's not all necessarily true."

(Fun fact: Freeing the guardians of Fire, Water, Earth and Air is basically the storyline of Malik xd)

"Liberating elemental guardians? That sounds interesting!"

(Aven sits silently formulating opinions on both sides and the people)

"So this is a thing that has happened many times before?"

"Also, what about that other place (I believe there was mention about some events going on in some dark temple before or something)"

"Oh, you didn't know about the Dark Temple? Let me recall the ev-"
"I got dis 2, Puck.
Anyways, me n Kick n some odders werr telepoted to some dank place. Really dank. Member dat bomb dat blew up 'n top of da castle? That pretty much killed us. We woked up n some place-"
"No, no, I should continue here. Anyways, after we quote-on-quote "died" to the bomb explosion caused by the Engineer, I was in some sort of afterlife, but then I heard Yura telling me that I wasn't dead, and then I think she somehow revived me... Me and some others ventured into the Temple until we encountered the Guardian of Darkness being reincarnated. The bast- excuse me, I was then corrupted by some evil, and my body was possessed and used against my allies. They were strong enough to knock me back to my senses, and then we somehow escaped...
I'm still a bit fuzzy on the details myself, but I believe that's the general gist of events that transpired in the Dark Temple..."

Cyrin stares at Joey with a face similar to this. -_-

"What's an orfun, Joey?" Cheri doesn't seen to understand the word.

"Gods..." Yura facepalms.

"Hey, how about a song!?" Before Cheri can get her answer, Sky starts to play on her guitar. She motions to Aven to start playing as well.
