Chapter 56: An Offer You Could Refuse
-Over ten years ago-
In the town of Hoxly which was just outside of the city of Vrox, a group of children were in a small wooded area playing. The four young boys were Alan, Kein, Cris and his brother Lance. They were all good friends with each other.
They had picked up sticks off the ground and were pretending they were weapons, while also pretending to be famous and powerful archmages. They were play-fighting.
Lance: “Take that! Lightning bolt!!” he shouted out while pretending to shoot out lightning from his hand.
Cris: “Agggh!” he pretended to yell out in pain, acting as if he got hit by lightning and fell to the ground while doing so.
Kein: “NO! Cris! I will avenge you!” he yelled while bringing up a stick to slowly swing down onto Lance.
Lance raised his stick to block Richard's wooden stick. As both sticks gently made contact with the other, both children made sound effects with their mouths. Acting like there was a massive amount of forces coming in contact with each other.
Lance: “YOU WILL NEVER STOP ME—ugh.” he said, as he looked at another stick poking up from his side.
A stick poked up under Lance’s arm. Alan had snuck up behind him with the wooden tree branch and placed it there, making a motion pretending to stab Lance. Cris' brother fell to the ground, acting as if he had been stabbed through the chest with a large sword.
