“Delta, hurry up and come back!” Royce yelled out as his sister began to put her long white hair into a ponytail and put pants on as she also put her jacket on and brace herself from the wind outside. There was a terrible storm that was about to pass through their small town and the winds were heavy. “I have to go get Fluffy, I’ll be right back brother!” She said as she opened the door when a large black figure was standing in front of it. It looked down to the young girl and smiled.
“Princess, we have found you.” It said as it began to walk into the house and she began to back up. “R-Royce?!” She yelled when the man tried to grab her and she began to scream and ran away when Royce came from the other room and began to fight the huge creature.
“Don’t you dare try to touch her!” he yelled when a huge gust of wind came from nowhere and pushed him into the wall and about six wolf shaped figures came from the good and cornered Delta.
“We have found you princess. No more running, we will take you back to the motherland where you belong.” He said as he began to back out of the small home with the young girl in his arms. “DELTA!” Royce yelled out as he tried to run after them when he say the mayhem that they had caused to his small town. Everything was on fire and it smelled like burning flesh. They were so fast that he could no longer see his sisters long white hair. “Don’t worry Delta, I’ll find you and ill get those mean people for taking you.” He sighed as he went back inside his small home. That morning Royce began to walk around the village when he spotted Amy. She was looking around what was the remains of a weapon shop, hoping to find a few swords that had not been damaged.
“Amy!” He yelled as he began to run to her. Her eyes were red as though she had been crying all night. She looked up to him and smiled a little as she hugged him. “Oh god, im not alone!.” She smiled as she hugged him, “those things came from nowhere and just started killing people for no reason! They had hounds made of air!” She said as she thought about the previous night and Royce nodded as he looked around the town. “They took Delta. They were saying something about how they found the princess and will bring her back to the motherland.” He sighed and she stopped hugging him and began to look around the site of the weapon shop.
“The motherland?” She said softly and began to dig through the rubble, “We have to get her back.”
“What are you doing Amy? Those are demons that we are up against and we do not have powers!” He yelled to her when she picked up a small box. “My father said that whatever is in th- “ she was cut off but a figure in the distance. She gave Royce the box and began to run to the figure. “You’ll pay for what you d-” She stopped when she noticed that is was a human. He looked as though he had been buried under stuff.
“Oh god, there are other people.” He said with a smile and she looked at him. “Who are you?” She spoke softly.
“I’m Cloud. I spend most of my time on journeys, thats why you’ve probably never seen me.” He sighed as he looked around when Royce walked to her and gave her back the box.
“Amy, I can’t stall any longer. I have to go get my sister.” He sighed and Cloud looked at him. “May i join you on your quest? There is nothing left for me here.” He sighed and Cloud nodded. Amy opened the box and inside contained candy that was wrapped in golden pieces.
“What exactly is that?” Royce asked as he looked at her and she smiled as she looked that them. “This is the candy of legend! If we eat them we will be able to home powers like the demons that once roamed the earth!” She smiled as she picked a piece up and unwrapped it . The small ball glowed slightly before she ate it and she looked at Royce.
“So how does it taste?”
“It tastes more like honey.” She smiled and he looked at her and then to Cloud.
“You two coming with me to get Delta?”
The two of them nodded and he looked in the direction that they had gone. “We will meet at the center of town in 30 minutes. Bring anything you this is necessary , but dont bring to much that it would be heavy to carry.” He smiled and they nodded and began to walk their own ways.

That afternoon, Royce was sitting near the well a the center of town when he say piece of paper that was floating along the wind. The paper rested right beside him and it read Princess spotted, Young female near town by the ocean, long white hair, red eyes. Take by force.
Before he could look again it disappeared, Amy and Cloud walked up to him soon after.
“Come on Royce, theres nothing left for us here.” Amy said as she held her hand out to him and helped him get up.The three of them began to walk out of the town and Said goodbye to their past. Nothing was left for them.



“Amy so i’m guessing that you’ll be leading the way?” He asked as he looked at the map she was holding and she nodded.
Cloud walked up to Royce and smiled. “You're a real nice guy. I’d do the same thing for my sister if she had gotten taken.”
“Where is your sister?”
“She is dead.” he sighed and looked at the sky.
“What did she die of?”
“Still not sure. One day i came home and my ma told me.”
He sighed and Amy looked at the road ahead of her. “We should be coming up to the next town soon, i have relatives there so we can get cleaned up and take showers.” She smiled and Royce nodded. Cloud blushed slightly as he continued to follow them. About 10 miles up the road as another small village. It looked like people were rebuilding houses. A girl ran up to Amy and smiled.
“Amy! You’re ok!” She yelled out and Amy hugged her back.
“What are you guys doing here?” She asked as she looked as Royce and Cloud.
“We gotta go get his sister from her aunts outs in a town some time away. I was wondering if we would be able to shower and stuff.” She smiled as her cousin looked at her and pulled her arm as the two began to walk up.
“Is that your boyfriend?” She giggled as she looked back to Cloud who was now talking to Royce.
“No that is not my boyfriend Sarah. He’s Cloud’s brother that just came back.” She said softly as she hesitated and put the map back into her bag. “Sure you guys can take a shower at my house, If you want, I can get yall some clothes to wear.” She smiled and motioned for the two of them to come over to where the two of them were.
After their showers, Royce sat outside and breath in the fresh air. Amy was inside talking to her cousin and Cloud decided to help the people rebuild their home. As Royce relaxed on the porch he noticed a female walking through the town, he was the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. She had on a long white dress with a sunhat on that covered her long black hair.
“Wow,” he smiled as he looked at her and she walked out of his sight. Cloud, by that time, was standing right beside him and he hadn’t noticed.
“Close your mouth, you're lettin flies in.” He laughed as he looked down to Royce, who had just come back to reality.
“If its meant to be, you guys will meet.” He smiled and walked inside.
“We gotta go soon. We are losing too much ground staying here.” He sighed and walked over to Amy who was watching tv. Her eyes glowed white slightly as she looked at the television. “Hey Amy, are you alright?” He spoke softly and she nodded as she picked the map up. “We can catch up to them if we go East for about 3 days. The only problem is theres no town till then.” She said as he looked at her and Royce nodded.
“So we can stay the night here then?”
“Yea, Cloud is helping rebuild the house that got damaged last night.”
“When are you gonna tell them what happened?”
“I’m not sure. I’ve been trying to avoid talking about it.” She sighed and he hugged her.
“Well then get some rest tonight. We will need it.” Royce said as he walked off and Amy continued to look at the map.
Royce went to the back room and looked at the picture of Delta that he had in his bag and sighed. “Don’t worry little sister, I’ll get you back.” He smiled and laid down on the bed to rest.

That morning Cloud was eating breakfast with Sarah when Royce woke up.
“So, i hear that you got a little crush.” She giggled as she held a piece f bacon to her mouth and Royce blushed heavily. “N-No, i do not have a crush on her. She’s just some girl that i saw.” He murmured when Cloud laughed. “Sarah, you should have seen him. He was looking at her like a horny girl.” Note to Kiya: You may wanna change this later -kiya
“Man, no i was not looking at her like that.” He said as he looked at Cloud. Amy came into the kitchen and began to eat a banana when she saw the time.
“Hey boys, hurry up and get ready, we gotta go soon.” She smiled as she walked out the room and began to get dressed.
As the three of them left the town they braced themselves for the long road ahead. Armed with only the mysterious box of candy and what weapons they were able to recover from their hometown, they are on their way to the town hundreds of miles away.
“If you guys don’t want to come with me, you're welcome to stay here. I have to get Delta though.” He spoke silently as the two stood beside him.
“I’m not letting you go alone Royce, we have been friends for too long.” Amy giggled and Cloud nodded. “The adventure my friend, i'll go to hell and back with you.” he smiled and the three began to walk down the dirt path. The three of them walked quietly down the road, no one talked and they listened to the sounds of the woods.
“So how long do you think this is gonna be?” Cloud asked as he looked around. They had been walking for about 2 hours now, following Amy.
“We haven’t even made a dent in our schedule. We are going to try to cut the bandits off at a town some time away so that we can get Delta before they are able to get through the portal.”She said as she looked back to him.
“What portal?” Royce asked
“Demons hide their way to the motherland by a portal. We cannot get through it because we aren’t demon.” She said as she put the map up and Royce sighed. “I may not be able to see my sister again...” He sighed and Amy hugged him. “Cheer up! We will see Delta again!” She giggled and began to run down the road.
“Don’t go too far ahead of us!” Cloud yelled out when she stopped running. Amy stood there as though she was frozen. A girl with white hair was running up the dirt trail in front of them. “Delta!” She yelled out and began to chance the girl with white hair. Royce immediately began to run faster until he was able to see th female with white hair. “DELTA!” He yelled until he tripped and she ran out of his sight. When Cloud caught up to him he was catching his breath.
“This place can play tricks on your mind, don’t let it.” He smiled and patted his back. Royce sighed and stood up.
