The Chronicles of Raven - The Quest

Prologue

The day had just dawned and the shadows of the night were fast retreating, but among those shadows hidden in the depths of chrondrus there stired a malavelonce that had been dormant for three centuries. the purpose of its stiring was a man, small in stature but bearing a silver globe that shone in the shadows. slowly this man made his way towards the entrance to the hidden gate. with each step taken the melevalance stired. subconsiosly aware that the time was drawing near to its awakening.

At the foot of the gate the man paused muttering to himself in a strange tounge. roughly translated he was saying. the quest must be undertaken or all else is lost and darkness will rule. for this porpose i must do an evil and may the gods have mercy on me. father i do not bear this task willingly but i do your will. the time has come. now will i be tested and i pray that my training will sustain me.

he walked slowly forward reaching ot with his left hand till he came in contact with the rough walls of the cliff. softly he cried athan mera, athan mathan, athan viruthan hai betha nakuni. as the last word slipped from his tongue he looked up and for the first time the dim light reflected on his face. he was a handsom youth not more than 23 years of age but the cares that he had carried were eched deep in his forhead and reflected in his eyes.
