Chapter 1 - The meeting

El Dorado.

The greatest accomplishment of the mighty Sithari. 

#"Enough!. You have done more than what was ever required. Look around you, all that we built lie in ruins .let's stop"

Here two Goliaths has been fighting for some time now!. Unleashing fury of the likes of which made even the gods tremble, the Earth shook, the sky turned red and oceans boiled while lightning and thunder bloomed through the sky tearing apart heaven itself. The golden city glittered blinding everyone as the lightning striked.It's once lavish brilliance which made even the God's envious, now lies in shambles!.

#"He's right let's stop this. Look around you this isn't what you wanted"

#"Let's stop this before it's too late the gods have got what they deserve any more and all will be futile"

#"Yes listen to your dog's heed their prayers and go back like the spineless bastard you are" 

From the heavens the gods sharpened their eyes to the ruins of the once great temple of AMUN with their fingers on their nose's. Some are afraid, some are in aww, while one lies bloodied at the steps of the temple.

#"Look at me look at your handi work this means only one thing, Waaaar!. You have angered the gods now hahahaha, there is no escape for you or none of you!" 

Through the silence a calm yet terrifying voice 

#"Mmh!. You're right this has gone long enough"

His voice echoed throughout the entire world like a thunder in a clear sky ,while everything else stood still. The hearts of his spectators skipped a beat and the gods forgot to even blink. Their eyes fixated on the man below them. The man slowly walked through the crowd towards the fallen. As he did all the people around him parted way to offer him a path. Climbing his way through the golden steps leaving bloodied footprints behind. As he got near to the bloodied fallen he said,

#"You are a curse upon this world, and now I will end you!".

Followed by a roaring thunder and lightning which illuminated the scene.There he was standing tall above the fallen, blood dripping from their bodies. And as the lightning striked right beside them the golden city sparkled and glittered. A shattered sense of pride of the fallen overwhelmed by the will of a the man standing tall.

#"A curse. How dare you call me such ,Me a god!. You are the curse, you bloody devil" 

As the gods, the world and the fallen witnessed it they saw a man witg his entire body drenched in blood. There he stood before the fallen, half naked with his lower half draped in a dark violet cloth which had been colored red from the fallen's blood. Not just his cloth but his entire body was drenched in the blood of the fallen before him. That image shattered more than the fallen, the gods and even hope for the sithari.

#"You will pay for what you have done " 

He said as he picked up the fallen by his head with one arm. Fear slowly showed in the fallen's face as he screamed 

#"Aaaaaaah-" 

His words cut short by the man and his calm words 

#"Now die vile fool" 

Followed by a sound of skull splinter and the brain falling and getting smeared on the floor.

#"Oh no! what have you done?"

#"It's over everything is gone"

#"At last it had to be you "

The crowd chattered in fear of what they had witnessed. What was yet to come.

#"Oh why! Why! It was all going well "

#"No ,no ,no "

#"We are done for "

#"What will we do now "

#"Who can save us"

The man looked up at the sky letting go of the body of the fallen. He sighed.He looked around to his companions ,and the people,and at the gods above them.

He knows what he has done. He said 

"War it is then!" 

Present day :-

El Dorado. It is now nothing more than a myth. A Lost city which can be found in the maps of the old World a time when the Sithari ruled everything the land the oceans and even the sky. A time when even the gods bowed to them. After a 1000 years only miniscule knowledge about the city exist found in some old text shrouded in mystery. There are no details about it. What does exist is vague caricatures of the mighty temple said to be in the Centre of the city. As per the myth, it is said that "Ever since the Sithari and its empire fell apart and the gods grace and blessings Lost the once connected world split apart into the great land masses". Thus any knowledge of both the Sithari and their empire similar to the Lost city has been gone to ages. 

But this will not stop many who yearned for glory, wealth and power to venture out in search of the lost city, for whom it is more than just a myth. For those thirsty of adventure won't be stopped from their journey to uncover the mysteries of the sithari and the old World.

The Kingdom of Lada:-

Mari a boy from the slums who has long yearned for journey and adventure but who was always tied down due to his families debt could only work tirelessly to pay his debt off. His Young body gradually growing weak and poisoned by his work in the Agatha mines rendered him incapable of travelling the waves. 

The sound of explosives turning the rocky hills into smaller chunks of rock, constant chatter and clanging of the tools against the raw Agatha Ore filled the mines.In the side of which Mari was having his lunch exhausted from his work like many other beside him. As they had their lunch ,no more than a piece of dry bread and a glass of water.

A bell rang. It was the announcement bell ,normally it would mean an accident but this time it was the crown prince Bernard Von Lucious even worse. He arrived on his chariot made of gold, a pale imitation of the great king Dariusz Von Lucious and his true power.Escorted by his guards he arrived, which was an everyday sight to the citizens of Lada a child's representation of power and authority from wealth stolen from the people. This much was no new knowledge to the everyday people of Lada.

But something else was different today beside him on the footsteps of the chariot there was a girl. She was was white as snow and she wore a beautiful silk frock.Her beauty radiated, making any man jealous of the prince, for she was his maid.And sure enough Mari's eyes caught her attention. But she never saw him, her head was low.

After finishing his work and having a drink at the tavern he went to the slums to the hut he called home. As he passed the castle walls he paused and looked up thinking of the poor lady he saw and wondering to himself 

< will my dreams of adventure ever become real if it does I hope it is with her>

He looked at the built mid night moon illuminating the black pearl sky and sighed.As he saw the castle he saw someone wearing the same dress of the lady he saw back at the mine. The dress glowed brilliantly reflecting the moon light. It was her and she was preparing to jump from the balcony. He yelled 

#"Heeey!. Don't jump"

The lady startled and climbed back up.Upon reaching his hut he made his mind. 

#"I am going to go get her and travel the world with her."
