Chapter 1 - "Knight"

[Opening Scene — A Plain Field]

The grass sways from the wind under the beautiful blue sky, we pan to a young boy laying unmoving in the grass, wearing a smooth white full head helmet with horns that goes up and slightly curve inwards and two massive pitch black holes for eyes(this is actually his head). He's wears a ragged blue-gray coat, underneath the coat he wears a full body(feet's and arms included) black suit and a sheathed sword on his back

Then suddenly his finger twitches and he raises up, looking around, though we can't see his face but the way he looks around screams confusion. But then a voice echos in his head

'Kill Quintar'

As the words echo in his head, he turns and looks in a certain discretion as he feels he has to go this way. The boy then stands up and starts walking in the direction while still taking in his surroundings.

Not even an hour into his journey, he stops to watch a herd of deers running before continuing walking.

[Scene Shift — 10 days later — New Location Unlock: Abyss Gate Kingdom]

After days of walking the boy breaks up a hill, overlooking the kingdom below, its black towering stone walls and towers, seemed more like a fortress than a kingdom, but it is expected as it holds the gate to the abyss. The boy then starts walking down the hill to the kingdom's gate, where we see countless hunters entering.

[25 minutes later]

After a short wait the boy finally enters the kingdom and we see merchants selling healing potions, weapons and relics they found in the abyss. As the boy walks he accidentally bumps into a pear-shaped girl with long blonde hair and purple eyes with a wooden staff in her hand.

She wears: A heavy, dark green outer cape that fastens around the neck with a thick, structured collar. Has small gold buttons details. The inside of the cape appears to be lined with deep red fabric. A long, rectangular panel (matching the cape's color) hangs down the center of her torso, bordered by light-colored piping.

Underneath the coat, she wears a thick, olive-green ribbed sweater with long sleeves, with solid black opaque stockings that reach mid-thigh, where there's a brown pouch strapped and tall, sturdy brown boots with straps details around her ankles and shins.

"Watch where you're going-!...kid?..."

She said in an annoyed tone but quickly switch to a soft and confused tone as she sees the boy's appearance. The boy looks up at the girl who just looks at him in confusion, then a teasing male voice is heard behind the girl.

"There you are!. I've been looking for you, short cake."

The girl turns to the voice and sees a lean but muscular young man with black and red eyes approaching. He's wearing a tight black sleeveless turtleneck vest, a white harem-style pants, tied tight in his waist with a red thin rope and wood string sandals.

"Oh Lee, it's you. And stop calling me that."

The girl says in a slightly irritated tone, which the young man–Lee chuckles teasingly at, but he stops when he spots the boy.

Lee: "Who's the kid?. A friend of yours, Sitara?"

He asks still with his teasing tone and the girl–Sitara, replies in an annoyed yet calm tone.

Sitara: "No. You idiot, he's some kid that bumped into me but…he feels weird…"

Lee: "By weird, you mean, He's a kid with a sword on his back and he's in the abyss kingdom."

Lee says shortly after in a calm and sarcastic tone, which makes Sitara roll her eyes as she folds her arms under her chest. Lee chuckles slightly before saying

Lee: "Hey kid, what's your name?."

But there was no reply from the boy as he only stares at them with his pitch black eyes. This makes Lee actually weirded out.

"Ok I see what you mean."

Lee says quietly to Sitara, who gives him a told you so look, that's when a female voice calls out to them both.

"Sitara, Lee, there you two are."

Both Lee and Sitara turn to the voice and see a tall lady with mid-back length white hair and deep blue eyes. She wears a red coat that stops by her knees/mid-thigh, under the coat she wears a tight black suit, and on her upper chest she wears small pieces of armor, mainly on her torso and shoulders, black leather boots and a sheathed sword on her hip, approaching them.

Following closely behind her is a massive and 250 ibs(of pure muscles) man, with black hair and amber yellow eyes. He wears a metal armor chest plate with a massive double edge sword on his back. And a scottish red–and–dark green–style skirt.

"Skylar and Mikey!."

Sitara says as she waves them over, while Lee stands there watching how Sitara attitude changes.

"Do you know how long we have been looking for you two?."

The lady-Skylar, says in a slight scolding tone but that's when she sees the boy, her attitude changes instantly as she pushes pass Lee and.

Skylar: "Oh my! Who's this cute little one?."

Says as she crouches down to the boy with a sweet smile, and Lee, who's rubbing his shoulder where Skylar pushes him, says.

Lee: "He's some weird kid that bumped into Sitara. I asked him his name and I got no answer."

Skylar: "Don't call him weird Lee, maybe he just can't speak or has social anxiety."

She says looking back at Lee slightly, before turning back to the boy.

Skylar: "Ok Uhm…if you can't speak, how about we name you…Knight, yeah Knight sounds good."

She says slightly to herself but loud enough for the rest to hear, as she then continues.

Skylar: "Hello Knight, we are the Abyss Slayers, would you like to join us?."

But there was no reply from the boy, now named Knight, but Skylar took the silence as a yes as she then smiles before taking his hand and stands up.

Skylar: "Great then!. We have a new member!. To the abyss we go!."

She says as she drags Knight to the abyss gate, both Sitara and Lee wanted to protest on Skylar's decision, but didn't say anything and follows with Mikey right behind them.
