chapter 1 birth of a new dawn

  [The story begins with a boy staring at a lake outside the stone fence of an orphanage in a rural village]

  Hey Zach. (Says a boy with brown skin and hair black as the midnight sky)

  [Someone speaks from under a tree not far from the boy]

  What is it now Alex? (Says the boy under the tree who has a pale whitish skin tone and hair as white as snow)

  Isn't the outside beautiful? (Alex)

  We're not running away again. (Zach)

  Come on Zach, don't you see it? Beyond the wall it's beautiful out there. (Alex)

  You mean trouble? (Zach)

  Maybe, but look at it! Doesn't it make you want to see more? (Alex)

  You're only saying that because you only see one part of the whole. (Zach)

  Let's make a deal come with me and let's see if you're correct. (Alex)

  What do I get when I prove you wrong? (Zach)

  Bragging rights. (Alex)

  That's it? (Zach)

  What do you expect me to give you I'm broke. (Alex)

  Fair enough, I'll take you up on that offer. (Zach)

  I knew I could count on you. (Alex)

  But if we get caught you'll take all the blame. (Zach)

  If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  Yeah yeah let's just go already. (Alex)

  So, what's the plan this time? (Zach)

  Yesterday, I overheard Sister Melissa using a communication spell with Father Vincent. He said he's returning from Arles after gathering supplies for the next month. Since he left this morning, he'll probably arrive tomorrow in the middle of the night. My plan? We sneak onto the carriage when it departs. (Alex)

  ok and what exactly do i do (Zach)

  simple. you'll be the distraction. since everyone already knows your personality, it wont look suspicious at all (Alex)

  so i do get in trouble again (Zach)

  what? no! you're just... keeping them busy. (Alex)

  [Zach raises an eyebrow and]

  uh huh. i better get paid this time (Zach)

  paid? how am i supposed to pay you when I'm planning to leave this place? (Alex)

  because I'm coming with you. you're not getting rid of me that easily. and beside you owe me one gold and twenty sliver. (Zach)

  wait twenty silver. since when? (Alex)

  since this mission. hazard pay.(Zach)

  fine, fine. now, before we leave would you like to bring anything with you? (Alex)

  hmmm i don't think so but what about money? (Zach)

  don't worry. sister Elizabeth gave me an iron dagger for my birthday last week. it should help us until we can earn more.(Alex)

  that's not money, Alex (Zach)

  its close enough! besides, i also have some beef jerky in my pouch. we could sell it if we really need money or keep it for the road in case one of us gets hungry.(Alex)

  i say we keep some. Food will be very valuable for us until we have a stable income (Zach)

  alright then you keep the jerkies Zach, alright now we wait for the carriage. (Alex)

  [tomorrow at night]

  ok i see the carriage you know what to do Zach (Alex)

  alright [Zach picks up a rock and puts it in the pocket] (Zach)

  ok I'm going back to my room and prepare everything we need (says Alex)

  [Alex goes to his room while Zach gets to the warehouse ]

  [Alex arrives at his room and starts packing everything then run towards the main gate]

  [Zach enters the Warehouse grabs pitchfork ropes and an axe and puts them inside a weird portal]

  [the carriage arrives at the main gate]

  [Zach manages to sneak in to the dining hall and throws the rock chandelier breaking it then he creates a portal to Alex]

  what did you do (Alex)

  you'll figure it out later(Zach)

  [Alex looks back and sees smoke]

  what the fuck did you actually do (Alex)

  arson (Zach)

  lets just go [ Zach creates a portal next to them and inside of the carriage as both of them steps through the portal they then get transported inside of the carriage which was already far away from the orphanage as Zach then opens a portal in the sky as the both of them peeked through the portal to see what Zach has done]
