Ten years ago...
"I'm sorry Ma'am but we have to conscript him."
"You can't..."
"All of Adonia has need of these Shamans, you should know this! If the Sechs Empire wins then this entire village will be forced into submission. Your son can be part of the force that can stop them to permanently ."
"No!"
The boy stands there silently watching crying Mother, and the Father stands there gripping a hoe in his arms ready to attack. His eyes moved over to his sister, noting tears in eyes. The child wanted to protect everybody in the village. Most of all he wanted to protect his sister. Whom he's adored for all of his life. The ten year old boy made the most important choice which would shape his destiny forever more.
"Please mother, don't cry. I'll go..."
five years have passed since the boy entered his teens. Recruited into the academy. The boy learned survival skills. He learned how to forge weapons, forage for food, and Tame monsters. He like many of the conscripted shamans were all assembled to battle the Sechs Empire.
On the fifth year he entered the battlefield and he was on his way to becoming a man.
Five years, he was doing battle and five years he's lost many friends and comrades. The boy became a man at last. Though he lost many things he also gained many things. A strong body a strong mind and strong heart. The war was long but at long last it was finished. The battle was won. The empire, due to fighting several other countries relented it's attack on the boys home nation. And so it was the boy now a man after fighting so had and so long made his way home.
Crystallis was a typical town, though a little bit small. It was still home for Julius. though it was a town of only two hundred, It was still thriving with the occasional travelers going by the "Wooly inn" or adventurers visiting Ivan's blacksmith for the latest in his rare weaponry to tackle a dungeon. After ten long years Julius finally returned home! Though still dressed in the standard military blue uniform with laces. The dark haired man, with sharp crimson colored eyes and a face as steely and sharp as blade rushed over, am eager smile on his face, to the one place he craved for as soon as he saw the town over at the Horizon.
The Creed Farm was an expansive and large. Julius remembered those fond days where he used to chase his sister through the crown fields laughing and playing. When he arrived today, the site that greeted him was far from pleasant. It was empty. The fields which should normally have lines of sweet potato, spinach, and even pom pom grass during the fall were empty. Only grass, stones, even poisoned areas were all that covered the land. Julius was flabbergasted. What in the world happened in the years since he's been away? The retired soldier quickly walked into the large wooden house that was his home. He couldn't help but note how run down the red monster barn near the house was. Though the house itself seemed to be maintained. Somebody was still living here.
He knocked on the door, once, twice, three times. Nobody home? Using his key tied to a necklace he kept on him all this time he opened the door entering slowly and quietly. It was quiet. Too quiet.
"Anybody home?" Julius asked. "Mother, Father." He breathed hesitantly saying the last thing that's always been on his mind. since he was ten. "Sister?"
