The Apple Of Fate
Once upon a time in the small village of Applopilis two young orphans were stealing food during the village’s annual apple festival. These orphans were well known yet seldom seen. The orphans are fifteen and looked alike too,in fact they were twins! One of the boys was named Ceasar while other one was named Rom. So time to get into some more backstory. Rom and Ceasar’s parents,Julius (the father) and Lin Ux (the mother) disappeared while they were on an adventure in the jungle (Rom and Ceasar were too young to go so they stayed home).A couple years later their bodies were found next to a tree. No scratches, no bruises…no pulse. The memory haunted the brothers so much that they couldn’t stand near the jungle at all. So back to the present, Rom and Ceasar went around the village stealing apples from the families who leave them on the tables and benches, then out of nowhere a knight from the nearby castle of Ragnarock rides his dark coloured horse into the village. The knight then gets off his horse and pulls out a rather long scroll, he begins to read out the scroll while the entire village was watching… well, not the ENTIRE village. Rom and Ceasar were “collecting” all the apples when they ran into a rather unusual looking apple.This apple was shiny, glowing and the weirdest of all… floating. Ceasar tried to pick up the apple but Rom pushed his hand away before he could. Rom then picked up the apple and put it in his pocket while Ceasar began to shout at him. After a couple minutes, Rom and Ceasar finally got back to their hut made out of large sticks and leaves not too far away from the village.The knight then finished reading his scroll and rode off on his horse while the villagers were left shocked that all of their apples were gone. Back at the hut, Rom and Ceasar were examining the apple that they found. They quickly realized that the apple floats about five millimeters above anything it’s on top of. Tomorrow comes, Rom and Ceasar are out again doing they’re usual thing, you know, stealing, when all of a sudden they overhear a group of villagers talking about some sort of prophecy. They said these numbers “10, 11, 21”. Rom and Ceasar quickly found out that they stood for a date .The tenth day, the eleventh month and on 21:00 p.m.(Which is 9:00 p.m). Which was the day after tomorrow They also heard about the use of the apple. The apple is supposed to be brought to a shrine before that date or else the earth would open up and let monsters from the depths of darkness destroy the village and the castle, but that wasn’t the problem, the problem was that the shrine is hidden very deep in… the Jungle of Eternal Fruitiness.
The boys almost instantly got into an argument when they got home.”Never,ever” said Ceasar “Why not?” asked Rom “Because what if the thing that killed mom and dad is still living in there” replied Ceasar.
The room was filled with silence as the boys just sat there looking at the ground.“We have to go in there though. For the good of the village” said Rom finally “Okay, but we must be very careful so let’s go into the armory to get some gear” agreed Ceasar.So the boys sneaked into the armory after dusk and took some leather armor,a bow with a quiver full of sharpened arrows for Ceasar and a two handed sword for Rom.The boys took the gear into their hut and slept while they still could.At dawn, the boys got up and left for their adventure knowing that there was no turning back now.
The boys have been searching for an hour now so they decided to rest against a rock and eat some of the apples they stole.It was the middle of the day now and the boys just heard a low growl. “Did you hear that?” asked Ceasar “yeah” replied Rom.Ceasar began to fit an arrow onto his bow while Rom picked up his sword from the floor and got it ready.Then the beast came out of the bushes and attacked Rom and Ceasar.Rom and Ceasar backed up before the creature got to them, Rom and Ceaser also got a good look at the monster.The beast had a tiger like body and was covered in white fur with a yin yang symbol on it’s back.It also has white wings with a small obsidian spike on the tips of each wing.Another characteristic of the beast was it’s horns,it wasn’t your usual pointed horns but instead they were pointed in front of the forehead with a glowing orb in between.The last characteristic about the animal is it’s long tail, the tip of the tail is shaped like a knife where one side of the tip of the tail is sharpened and by the looks of it, the beast has recently killed something.”Hey i’ve seen this thing before but only in paintings” says Ceasar “yeah me too, in the chapel” replies Rom, Ceasar points out that the beast’s is name is Mortemios (Mortem-ee-owe-s) and he is one of the beasts from the darkness.Ceasar also points out that the orb infront of it’s forehead is it’s heart… it’s weakness.Mortemios lunged towards Ceasar with it’s big sharp claws, luckily Rom saved Ceasar just in time with one slice of his sword he cut off Mortemios’ head and Ceasar shot the orb with one of his arrows.The boys then slept on a rock.
When the boys woke up they continued their adventure aroun noon Rom’s bag began to glow, so Rom pulled out the glowing apple and the apple flew into a bush.When Rom and Ceasar walked into the bushe they found the shrine.The shrine and a place to put the apple on top of a pool of the best juice ever made from fruits not from this world.
Rom placed the apple on the holder and the apple rose up and turned into a small golden bird.The bird said he would grant Rom one wish so Rom wished for his parents to be alive again.On their way back Rom and Ceasar ran into their parents.Lin Ux asks “where is she? Is she gone?” Ceasar answers “yes Mortemios is gone”. “No” says Julius “Exspiravitia”.
