Prologue

A man strode up to a table. He wore shining armour. His hair a silvery tone. Slowly he takes a seat, staring intensely into the nearest cup of water. The man began to mumble indecipherable words in a foreign language.

The water slowly began to waft through the air like stardust, swirling around him until it formed an illusion out if the liquid over the table. The scene before him showed a crowded room full of suspicious creatures of various kinds.

At the front of the room stood a cloaked figure.

"Thank you joining me here." The figure was female. She threw back her hood revealing a youthful face.

"I gathered tonight to discuss a common issue we all share." She continued slowly walking the room.

"I don't believe we share anything in common." A troll growled gesturing to his body shape.

A very large man snorted. "I certainly hope not."

The women gave an irritated sigh. "I was talking about our opponents."

"You're opponents are whiny kids too?" The large man asked.

"You fight children? How disappointing." A man wearing dark armour and a large helmet hissed in a eerie tone.

"It's not nearly as easy as it should be." A figure cloaked in darkness spoke up.

"Back to my point! I have gathered you all here tonight to devise a plan that will help us get rid of our...nuisances once and for all." She said the word with string distaste.

The man from before waved his hand through the mist, parting the illusion. His face bore a grim expression as sat down heavily. A moment past before he stood once more.

He strode to the cupboard and shakily opened the doors. His hand reached in to grasp the colourful vial. The man pulled the cork, gently raising the bottle to his nose as he inhaled the scent. The man slowly walked over to the cauldron in the middle of his room. He then drizzled the concoction into the black bowl.

"To the son of the sea, to the moonlark's flight,
A wizard so wise, and the archer's fight.
Into their dreams, send a message for me.
About the rising alliance between the worlds enemies."
