Chapter 1 - Sudden Encounter

Raging winds, roaring thunders, and streams of lighting illuminate the night sky, a violent storm raged upon the people within the continent of Lauvret.

In this storm, a hunter continues to hunt for food. Being near the the center of the forest, a warned off place by many, he hears loud cries of an infant. The hunter, curious went deeper within the forest to find the source of the echoing cries.

Deeper into the forest the hunter goes goes, deeper into the dangers of the forest he goes. The cries become louder, closer. The hunter's last push through the wet vegetation of the dangerous forest, then he saw them.

To his surprise, he sees two baby girls. Everything around the hunter fell silent. He can hear his own heartbeat getting faster the second. He is angry. The hunter used quickly used his own coat to cover for the two girls, not minding thar he's soaked.

''What kind of heartless people...monsters were they? To leave...infants in this raging storm", he muttered while holding the two.

The hunter, after some time, finally had the two babies to go to sleep — having them rest for who knows how long of a cry.

Taking advantage of the forest, the hunter carefully makes a makeshift roof. He then takes out a magical tool from his bag then makes fire and have them dry. The hunter, tired and hungry, looked with great pity and sadness at the two infants.

"what should I do?", the hunter mumble.

Realizing this place, he then decided to leave the care of the two to a church that takes in orphans and make them great and pure priest and priestess.Not only will he leave these new born to the monastery's care but also he know a friend there which chose the path of priesthood.

From the forest to the church, it'll be a 2 day long travel by carrier,but if by foot ,it'll be a 3 and a half day long travel. The hunter sigh and thought,"these two can't survive that long, I don't even know how long they've been here ,all alone and cold.Meaning that I have no choice but to use teleportation magic.That way,they'll be treated with care immediately''. The hunter casted a spell of protection to the two so that wild animals won't be able to harm them. The spell casted upon them also seals the noise from the outside, not able to hear the continuous sound of thunder the two began to settle from their loud cry. Seeing the two calm down warmed the hunter's heart and made him determined to quickly prepare the magic needed for the teleportation.

Overnight, the hunter made preparations. He could not rush for the spell might not work, and because of the raging storm that have yet to calm.

Dawn came, the preparations are finished. He returned to the camp then shocked to see the two pale as white and looked like near to death 's door.

He undid the spell and shocked, the two are dehydrated. He then recalled an advice from a friend that children needs more hydration since their still in need of nutrition.

Carrying the two he then quickly run to the magic circle, the site used to transport an individual from one location to another. He then chanted, "Hic ego sum, sume me in alium".

In an instant, the hunter's forest surrounding changed to high and majestic pillars within the cathedral. By the sudden intrusion, an alarm suddenly went on, making loud noises that notified the priests, priestess and the holy knights in charge.
