 The holy fortress rests upon the summit of this very mountain, the mountain without a name. A weary wanderer may travel for years before even coming near the castle of the knights, and due to its mystical defenses, the warrior still may not be able to locate it.
Within these mountains, one may face brutal storms and cold temperatures. In merely climbing this enormous pile of rocks, one will undoubtedly strengthen himself as a warrior, but that is assuming he survives.

Very few people leave the quaint sanctum of the peaceful city, let alone the mystical protection of the fortress, but for some odd reason, this adolescent did. Perhaps it was due to the all too peacefulness of it all. No, that wasn't the case. The easygoing life has always been the perfect ideal life for him. Something drew him out. A tug of the spirit. What is the source of this tug? Well, that's one thing the young man intends to find out.
Dang, it's cold out here, he thinks. The cool breezing wind pounds against his face. He easily regrets leaving without taking some sort of jacket with him. Shivering in the face of the ever winter mountain range, he begins to think of home, his city. The temperature, though having its few seasons, is generally always tolerable. This right now is just too much. And so thoughts of turning back flash within his mind. Nah, I'll keep on.
After ambulating down the mountain path for quite some time, the city fortress is more than a far off memory for the guy. His path, hidden in white, his legs, losing the will to go on. That's it, I'm stoppin' right here. The brightest idea he's had? Probably not, but it's exactly what he does for the time being.

Okay, this wasn't a good idea... at all. Practically encased in a pillar of ice, he is certain of being out here as possibly the stupidest thing he's ever thought of. He's starting to wonder why he came out in the first place. Why did I come out here?
Dropping the notion, he gets up and tries to trudge his way back to the city. At least the temperature there is bearable.
His walk back up the mountain seems to take more of a struggle than it did coming down, but he slogs onward ever still.
A gust of a peculiarly strong wind brushes past him. Where this came, he had no idea. All he knows is that it's very, very cold.
Unbeknownst unto him, that wind was a little more than a natural occurrence. In fact, it was a lot more. Suddenly the atmosphere changes, shifts, or better yet, warps from its freezing cold temperature to a more intense heated air.
Such a drastic change in weather is more than peculiar and as a result, the wandering traveler stops in his tracks. That's not normal, he thinks. Looking around, he searches for a logical explanation to the illogical phenomenon, but finds nothing. What the heck?

Noah entered the hill area, the terrain was interesting to say the least. He was ease dropping on this man's attempt to comprehend nature and found his stupidity quite humorous.
"Hello stranger." said Noah slightly revealing himself to the man. His top hat covered most of his face and his gloves were worn tightly on his hands. His ruffled scarf was nicely tucked into his suit and he wore a sick smile that shone even though the hat.

And out of no where, some random guy shows up. He finds it odd that he's just out here casually walking the mountain slopes, but then again, so was he.
Deciding against the whole "he's a stranger, I should go" thing, the young man turns to address the other.
"Hey."
He's not entirely sure as to what's going on, but figures that he should at least have some company for the moment.

"Answering hey?" said Noah making a slight frown, "Thats a peasant's word, oh well." said Noah quickly ripping off his top hat and throwing it in the air, revealing his sickly grin: [x]
He then proceeded to rip off one of his gloves and dash towards the man, "I have a message for you." he said thrusting his hand forward and using his power to pass through the skin of the man's chest, "If you don't hear me out I'll be forced to take further action.

"Whoa! Whoa! What's your problem, dude!" The actions of the top hat guy is a little over the top. He takes a leaping step back, so no alien parts come through his body.
The danger meter in his head goes off the chart as he continues to stare at the person. He has a sickly grin, almost maniacal in some aspects. Not knowing what to make of him. The only thing he knows for certain is, This freak's outta his mind.
Calming down a little from the initial shock of the man, he asks, "A message, what about?"

"Those members of the Holy Knights should be warned, a war is brewing. This is a direct message from the Dark King himself." Noah said with a grin.
"I am of the Dawn Striders, I....we may be able to offer you support, for a price of course."
Noah jumped in the air and caught his falling top hat placing it back on his head.
"Whats your answer, you haven't much of a choice have you?"

"A war?" Something he hasn't heard that often in his life. In fact, the whole thought of a war seems ludacris to say the least. Ever since he was born, he's lived in the city, and never has there ever been talk of any sort of "war." Who would be the ones fighting? What would the fight be about.
He is just a normal kid out in a fairly peaceful place. Other than the everyday struggles of simple everyday life, nothing ever catastrophic has ever happened, at least not in his life time.
And who is this guy anyway? Out of nowhere, he comes prophesizing some super catastrophic conflict between two factions who, according to the history books, have been pretty cool with each other.
Deciding to humor the guy for a moment, he states, "Okay, so what if some super war's about to happen. Why the heck are you tellin' me? I'm no one important."

"Valid point." said Noah frowning for a moment, "But not even a man such as myself can pass the divine barrier of the Heaven's Sanctum. That is up to you. I can not force this upon you, it will be your choice whether or not the Paladins shall be informed. But trust me on this, I'm a man of my word and if you don't inform them, starting soon people will die. The choice is yours." said Noah drifting back to that same smile. He was enjoying this, leaving a life changing decision in this man's hands.
Noah abruptly turned around so that his back was turn to the man, he began to walk off slowly still hoping for some sort of response.

"Whatever." He still remains unconvinced at the wacko guy's warning. Turning the other direction, he sets off back towards the city. Already, the crazy guy’s out of sight, and as far as this adolescent youth is concerned, he and his story are out of mind, well not completely.
So what if it is true? That would be pretty funny. Heh, I alone would be responsible for the collapse of the city. Should I take my chances? Nah, who’s to say the knights’ll believe me anyway.
Stopping for a moment to actually take the time to consider the outcome of whether or not that crazy guy was speaking the truth, he lets time slowly pass him by. Completely losing track of it, the sun begins to set off in the horizon. Whatever the case, I should really get back.
Finally escaping his lost train of thought, he looks up to the path set before him, but one thing that surprises him is the sudden emergence of what appears to be a type of monster. Standing at about ten feet tall, the large ogre like creature stares down at what looks to be its next meal. Overall, the ogre has a human like appearance, but it does posses a few prominent bestial features as well, like the overly muscular appendages, and of course the horrid face.
“I never shoulda left.”
He braces himself for a sprint, but before he can start off, another creature emerges from the shadows. These black demons seem to have their eyes bent on keeping the defenseless kid from making it back. “That figures.” Before he knows it, he’s surrounded by these large rough looking demons. He’s clearly outnumbered and outmatched. Demons have the ability to break humans like a twig. So what’s one lowly human to do against five of those creatures?
In the following instant, he witnesses each and everyone of the demons somehow be divided by some strange light. Each of the demons dissipate in a cloud of black fumes, leaving behind a man, much older than the kid who just witnessed it all.

And so the man standing in the place of the fallen demons casts a cold glare towards the child’s way. There’s something mystical about his being. He possesses a certain air around him. Something warm, despite his cold, hardened looks. He’s is clad in black from the neck down, wearing a black jacket that has various marking symbols of gold along the sleeves. His pants carry the same symbols of gold trailing down the leggings. His skin is of a light brown tone and his eyes are a lightly solid color of brown, and his shaggily spiky golden hair comes down to the bottom of his chin and covers part of his face.
Who is this guy? the teen asks himself. From the looks of it, he appears to be a warrior of some kind, seeing as how he carries a large sword of some kind.
The man turns the other direction, without saying a word, and departs from the area in a numinous manner, fading from sight, like some sort of ghost.
Silently thanking the man for ridding the field of those demons, he rushes back to the city.

Kazual sat on a cliff kicking her feet back and forth. It ws boring at night, and she left the city cause there was trouble brooing and she could feel it in her bones. "I dont like this one bit", she said as she bit her lip thinking. "I will have to find Neo soon and tell him what I know. I just hope I will not be late.", and with a shuder Kazual curled up under a tree trying to sleep.

Gelu stood on a rocky outcropping, his wings folded and arms crossed. He had been looking for demons of some sort for 2 hours now, but he was not ready to quit. "...waiting underneath the surface... please don't let it be underground... I can't fly down there." Turning Gelu began to walk along the mountain keeping am eye open for anything that was out of the ordinary. 'Why do I get the feeling I'm being watched?'

Diving from above, a colossally sized creature drops in through a radiant wave of chaotic energy. As its feet slam against the ground, the entire earth quakes, rupturing the snow atop of the mountain.
As the creature stands up straight, one can easily tell that it's larger than the average joe. Standing at about fifty feet tall, the black creature bears the bestial appearance of a chimera of some sort. It is composed of the mane of a lion, face of a wolf, body of a man, and limbs of devilish dragonic beast.
Spreading its magnificent eagle like wings, the demon seemingly ignores the dragon creature at its feet and flies up towards the summit.
