~a heRO story~

[Spire]

A crystal arrow wizzed through the air, and sliced the giant pincer in two! Saving static from a horrible fate. Static was quick to react and swung with his mighty hammer! SMACK! And the beast recoiled in pain. A dashing archer had joined them. It was not long before our ground of heroes dropped the mighty beast. Bits of the golden bug broke off into shining shards, and the archer held fast a shining smooth black stone. A pale golden aura flowed past the others and flew strait into the orb, and then dissipated into it.

"Thanks for the help," Static said grudgingly, "I could have handled it by myself."

"No problem, old friend." The archer said with a smile. When he did Rika's face lit up, she ran over to the man and held him very close to her.

"Spire.." She said quietly. They had found what they we're looking for.

...

"The orb spoke to me, it told me how we were to defeat the dark one." Spire began as they reached the sunlight out the outside world. "You see this orb traps the power of fallen monsters those monsters we're not alwase monsters. Before they were men, tricked by the dark one, each one of them has a story of their downfall. That man was a noble knight, who traveled the land fighting beasts to save us. But the dark one found him, disguised as a treasure map. And led him down these sewers with the rest of his friends. They found a great treasure, and began to argue about to whom it belonged. The knight consumed by his own greed killed his friends. Relising his mistake too late, he tried to end his own life. But the dark one would not let that happen, he inprisoned the Knight in this form. Only to kill all who came here."

Spire paused letting the tale register with the rest of the party. He sat down next to a tree, Rika beside him. Static took a seat also, unfashoning his armor. Nyuu sat beside Static, Loveless stood stairing off into the distance. "You see, by freeing these souls and collecting the Dark Energy, Then destroying all of the evil at once, will greatly weaken the dark one. That was the first of four poor souls that have been trapped like this. The next is near lutie. But I have no idea how to get there..."

Loveless spoke up, "I know, but its very dangerous.. there is a cave near Aldebaren, one that was used much before all of this happened... That people used to use. But because of the dark one it is full of his undead minions."

At that static stood up and raised his arm. "No place it too dangerous for us! Not when everyone is depending on us! We must try, we can't give up!"
