Scythe, Sword And Steel

"Commander Yi! You're here." Layla said.

Yi didn't look at Layla. He went straight to Rooney and grabbed him by his coat. He started choking the hell out of Rooney.

"Do you realize what you're trying to do to that Twilight Orb?!" Yi asked.

"T-The main purpose of t-this experiment, *coughs* was to extract the magic inside it, ti give us more..."

"Nonsense! There's a living being inside there!"

Everyone was staring as Yi talked to Rooney, all of a sudden, Gusion came in and talked to Yi.

"A living being? So the legends are true?" Gusion asked.

"Ah Paxley, so you read the entire story huh?"

"Yeah. I read it from a book, in The Seven Power Orbs, in the Great Moniyan Library."

"So you know her? The Twilight Goddess?"

"Yeah. But it doesn't belong here. It belongs to the Minotaur in the Mino's Maze."

"Uhm... What are you talking about exactly?" Lesley asked.

"Yeah, who's that goddess you mentioned?" Harith asked.

"Okay, okay, let's head down to the Library downstairs. I'll tell you all about the story of the Twilight Orb."

Yi led them to the elevator, to go to their library downstairs.

After a few minutes they were down in the Library, sitting on the chairs connected by a giant wooden table. The Library had a large amount of books. It had ladders everywhere, each one categorized by number or letter. Yi pulled out a copy of "The Seven Power Orbs" in the tall bookshelf.

"Okay heroes listen up, so here's the full story:

History of the Twilight Orb

During the times of the World War, there was once a powerful couple. The woman who was a maiden from the light side, and the man was a soldier from the dark side, the Abyss. Each one of them was specialists in wielding magic the light and dark magic. They had three daughters, Ruza, Juno and Lunox. The three daughters were enrolled in Mage Academy, to unlock the potential of their magic.

Another war emerged, the Forces of Light, and the heroes of Lionhart and Moniya, against the Dark Abyss, and the Dark Lord himself. The couple and two of their daughters died, leaving Lunox the only survivor. She cried in despair, wished that the war never happened.

All of a sudden, her powers awakened. She flied into the air, reaching the maximum potential of her power. She could hear whispers from both the God of Order, and the God of Chaos. She then realized what her mission on the Land of Dawn was, to end the war between the Light and Darkness. The Gods handed over the Twilight Orb to Lunox, to gain more power, and to guide her in her journey. Lunox was only a young lady who got in trouble because of the war. And after listening to her thoughts, she began her journey.

Everyone respected Lunox, when she visited both the Abyss, and the light side. The people would ask her to govern over them, which she refused, as all she wanted was to stop the was once and for all. She discovered the Celestial Palace one time during her way to the Lionhart Empire. She stayed there, watching over, as the war continued.

The war got worse and worse. More innocent lives were being taken, and the Land of Dawn was slowly being put into ruin. She had no other option but to risk her life to save the land she loved. Using the power of the Twilight Orb, she fended off both the people of the light and dark side. She managed to create a light barrier to seperate the two sides, before she faced the consequences. Using all the power of the Twilight Orb, she was absorbed by the Twilight Orb itself. Some say she fell in a deep sleep inside the Orb.

The Twilight Orb is located somewhere in the Maze of Minos, protected by the contractors and Minotaurs. To this day, we have no idea on what has happened to it or where it is. All we know is that Lunox might still be sleeping inside this powerful Orb. Many people have tried to get their hands on the treasure and failed."

Everyone in the Library understood. Gusion pulled out the Twilight Orb from his pocket, and lifted it in the air. The little orb slowly took it's shape and spinned rapidly. Everyone was amazed at looking at the legendary Twilight Orb.

"And I'm the holder of this legendary artifact. Stolen by the Abyss, regained by the Empire, won by Lancelot in the Battle Royale and now, it's in my hands." Gusion said.

"That's why you should be careful Paxley. If you want to return it, you must protect it. Bounty Hunters have invented a strange machine to detect all the Seven Orbs. The Twilight Orb is what everyone wants, as it's located here in the Land of Dawn." Yi said.

"But where are the other six?" Ruby asked.

"It could be anywhere around the world. There are so many lands that might as well not be able to find it."

"Wait, Commander. You said the Goddess was sleeping inside this Orb. Can we awaken her?" Gusion asked.

"I don't know, but it should still be protected. If it falls into the wrong hands, another war might emerge."

"We'll travel to the Maze of Minos one day, then we'll know everything." Rooney said.

"Like we have a vehicle able to navigate there." Yi said. "Are you out of your mind Rooney? We're in the middle of a destroyed city, we have to travel through the wasteland, through a desert, and then the vast mountains. That's impossible!"

"Not if we have a blueprint to create one." Rooney said. "I'll need all your help heroes, especially you Layla." Rooney said.

"M-Me!?"
