Chiefsonny, Count Dooku, Pirate_Ninja, Helius, Jo Nathan, Lady Flare, Castrael, Speed Bike Pro, Hindenburg, Ghowilo along with the laxy Xhin and Kyon who had yet to decide their roles... All awoke from their slumber as the first droplets of rain fell from the dark skies. A loud hissing could be heard as the water begin to dampen the ground and put out the fires of destruction that had begun over the previous night.
The events of last night felt like a distant memory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ghowilo, Count Dooku, Speed Bike Pro, Hindenburg and Lady Flare had all been celebrating another successful day at the farm... For this was the only fertile ground in the continent's desert kingdom known as Spero. Near the border to more greener land it provided the perfect place for farmers like these good folks to make a living.
Two templars, Castrael and Pirate_Ninja, had arrived an hour later. They had come from one of the other kingdoms on a long journey and were seeking refuge for the night. Like any good folk, the five farmers invited them in for a meal.
Another hour later and the mysterious chiefsonny arrived, also seeking refuge for the night. It had long been rumoured he was a professional assassin, though no one dared question him.
Yet another hour later the kingdom's apprentice mage, Jo Nathan, arrived. He was on a long journey to prove his merit as a mage so that finally he would no longer be just an apprentice...
It was a final hour later that the fires came. A great flying beast, a Dragon some claimed, flew over the farm breathing molten flame over the farmland. Destroying the crops that the five farmers had worked so hard to produce! The Templars took to the fight eagerly, but the two of them alone were no match and the beast's tail knocked them squarely on the ground unconscious.
The assassin chiefsonny attempted to manoeuvre in unseen. But without allies to distract it the beast smelt him coming a mile away. Wafting it's powerful wings it also knocked the assassin unconcious.
Mage apprentice Jo Nathan took to the challenge now. Firing bolts of water at the beast, but the heat from the flames evaporated most of it before contact.
The farmers, angry at their work being destroyed. Each picked up weapons and items that would make them the adventurers of tomorrow and charged in to attack... Fearing their new strength, the beast once more swooped its tail around and knock the mage and farmers unconscious before it flew away because eating them all would end the story and that would be bad.
The farmers, now armed like adventurers, looked with sadness at their home and their farm. Completed burnt to the ground. They swore vengeance against this foul beast and along with the Mage, Templars and Assassin they formed a hunting party. They would track down the Dragon and kill it together.
