Chapter 1 - Proven Worthy

It was impossible not to hear the voices in the main hall “Nonsense! Trust a creature to this delicate task? Have you all gone senseless? I haven’t, and I’m sure there is no possible way…” “She has been our alley and friend for many years, like her mother before her..centuries! She is well skilled and truly, the only one able to survive the quest, we all do know this” then many voices broke in, all discussing, hollering across the hall, Where not a single voice could be heard clearly.
*
But from the corridors, you could hear someone approaching, very soft steps, followed by the soft breathing sound of an animal; meanwhile back in the hall, the same arguing voice could be heard “ I do warn you, a fer is not something to trust, they are indeed very dangerous creatures, I have heard that with their singing, they can make a man go blind of their sense, and then just when they have you, they__ the doors opened and a young looking girl, followed by a panther-looking-feline and a hawk resting on her forearm interrupted “they stab you in the back, and consume your soul to leave you like a living-dead, am I not correct, master Thilas?” “You are rude, you! And this is what we must rest our problems on? A young girl, her cat and a bird?”
A young girl with a very fit body, long brown hair, brown eyes and a peculiar cheeky way of looking, “Have some respect, as fore I have not insulted you; yes indeed I am of trust, I am Leicrah, daughter of Sadriel, and last of my kin, this bird as you say is Carak, a merodan hawk, and this is my loyal companion Ashiasi, which indeed is a lot bigger than a cat; more like a Surethna. Now I have said who I am, it would be a pleasure if you would just tell me who you are” “ all from me you need to know__ he snapped__ is my name which you do, and that I’m witness master of the council decision room. You should also know that I do not agree with you taking over such an important task, especially if there is no one to be supervising you. Some notes for the here gentlemen, she is still a child and is as stubborn and rude as all fers have been through out our record and worst of all she’s female”

About it

These parrographs are the first of chapter 1. where you will be introduced to the main characters and the mission.

What Leicrah has to do, is retrieve seven stones that have scattered in different periods of time. The head of council, Gowen Altan shows Leicrah the chamber of balance, where he gives her the first stone.
Each stone has a platform where it perfectly fits, and each platform also has the mold of a hand.
Leicrah places her hand and is transported into another 'dimention' in company of Carak and Ashiasi.

Through out this chapter you have some action, small dialogues in Ferdan, a short view on Leicrah's way of life, what seems to be Leicrah's platonic love and an aclaration of how ' the heck' Leicrah will find the other 6 stones in random places.

Characters:
Leicrah: a stubborn playful woman that acts more like a rebel teenager. Appereance between 17-20, not very tall, athletic, brunnette hair tied in a long braid. She has brown eyes and normal skin.

Ashiasi: A surethna, looks like a black panther that has the ability of telepathy, which is how she comunicates

Carak: Leicrah's pet merodan hawk. A hawk of fers only, grey with white spots on his chest

Thilas: witness master of the council decision room. In other words his job is to supervize all the desicions taken about the regions making sure they follow all the correct stablished fundaments and HE DOESN'T LIKE LEICRAH.

Gowen Altan: Head of the Ferolum council, supervisor of the politics and reign of the regions.

Note: Basically what i post is what you can read in the chapter....Maybe I add one or two things, but i keep it to what you can see so that way I dont kill the thrill;)

To finish of

“ May I present you the first, or seventh stone, the earth stone. It will guide you to the others and help you when dark times come, now you must leave”. Leicrah looked very carefully at the stone, looked from every possible angle she could, she knew there was something strange with this thing, she could feel it “ How__ Leicrah cleared her voice__ where to do I go for the first, I mean second stone?” “You must place your hand on one the molds, it has no importance on which, then you will be taken into one of the dimensions, and three, two, one, your journey has begun and so that’s were your decisions become of great importance, now stay no longer and go” he closed up to Leicrah and kissed her on the forehead, Leicrah gave a sweet smile, then he rubbed Carak’s belly, and patted Ashiasi “ you take good care of her” then he turned around and left, leaving the adventurers to their own to begin their journey. “ Well, I suppose this is what I wanted; come on let’s go” Leicrah said as she placed the emerald green stone in her bag “ I do hope you don’t give up on your first try” Ashiasi said “ oh, don’t you trust your own training given to me?” Leicrah responded with a cheeky smile, “ It is not the training I doubt, it is the apprentice from which I’m doubtful” Leicrah opened her eyes and rolled them, then just when they were in front of one of the molds she sighted and said “ I wonder what’ll happen this time, so just for precaution” Leicrah took her daggers, both on her left hand, one, with the blade looking forward and the other one looking backwards, she took from her hand a cape, long brown one, that covered her to the feet, with a big hood that wouldn’t let you see her face, big enough to let Carak Keep his resting place on her shoulder, then she moved her right hand closer to the mold, not sure of what she was doing, Ashiasi sat next to her and Carak, resting on Leicrah’s shoulder just watched; she waited a moment then snapped her hand on to the hand mold, then she blacked out. Suddenly she woke up, she felt she was turning, faster and faster, she tried to look around for Ashiasi and Carak but she could see them, then she heard voices, and just when things were getting clearer, she blacked out again.
