Chapter 1: The Stone of Light.
A crowd of people slowly made their way into a building as blue eyes scanned everyone before someone called out.
"Ashton! Over here!" The kid smiled as he ran over to his friend, Alfred. A girl, Lily-Mae, joined them as they went inside.
"Are you guys ready for the visitor in the Fantasy Tales Class?"
"Oh yeah! That's today! I thought we had a test."
"No silly!" The trio had a good laugh at that.

Brown hair blew in the breeze as a female walked towards the building which was quiet from everyone being in class. Her eyes flashed as she faded from view, slowly locating her destination.
"Here we are..."
~
The trio got settled with the rest of the class before the teacher stepped in.
"Alright class! Attention!" Silence followed. "Alright. So today, we have a visitor today. She will be talking about the tales we went over and maybe some others. Be respectful and let her do most of the talking." She turned to the door. "You may enter."
A brown haired female with a red dress entered, her red eyes scanning the room. She then turned to the class and smiled.
"Good morning. My name is Madam E, and I am the Librarian of the Library of Tales." She paused as she scanned the room. "I'm sure all of you have read many legends and tales like they are storybooks. Well, in my line of work, they are practically reality." There were a few whispers of surprise as she continued. "Such as the great King Arthur. The holy sword, Excalibur, was pulled from stone and fought against the dreadful Pendragon. Well, at the Library of Tales, we actually have records of the battle against the Pendragon and the pulling of the Sword. A very historical moment in history." She hummed. "Here's another. Who knows the tales of Fellanie?" Lily-Mae, being the overachiever, raised her hand.
"Wasn't she the legendary cleric that took on armies of monsters and was the only one of her party to last as long as she did?" E nodded.
"Correct. She was also the monster of her party. She could revive the party 100 times over without ever losing mana. She could fight gods and only lose a fragment of her health. That's the power she had. The Library of Tales has records that date back to the legendary battle of Fellanie and the God of Hate, Innoruuk. In fact, there are records of her fighting many gods that have survived even to this day." She took a breath before smiling. "There is a record in the Library that states that a handful of legendary tales can be activated in a magical sense. No one has been able to prove it, but something called Legend Stones can give regular people the power to wield these legendary tales. Anyways. Are there any questions?" Ashton raised his hand.
"Have you actually met these tales?" She hummed at his question.
"I did meet Fellanie once. Not that it was much since about ten minutes after she left the small chat, a horde of monsters was following her scent. It was a while ago, so I don't recall when this happened." He hummed at that. "I can say that I've met a few tales that aren't as big as the two I mentioned. They are quite friendly if you're not violent. But that was a while ago too." The teacher smiled as she joined E.
"Well. I'm afraid we've run out of time. So thank Madam E for her visit."

"You think she mentioned those Legend Stones for a reason?"
"Maybe. She seemed like she was hinting at something."
"Oh, please you guys."
The two boys snickered as they left the school. It was rather quiet as they stepped out of the school grounds. Then the ground shook. Several students yelped before a large monster appeared over them.
"What the-" Ashton got in front as Madam E's voice filled the air. And it had power.
"UNLOCK!" A light quickly filled the air, pushing the beast away from the civilians. Ashton turned to the female as she floated in the air. "As Keeper of the Library of Tales, I awaken the Stone of the Holy Grail. Choose your champion and join the fight!"
The Light warmed up before a small stone appeared. It seemed to hum before floating over to Ashton, who paused. E didn't hesitate.
"ACTIVATE! KING OF THE HEAVENLY CHARGE!"
