A cool breeze swept through the cathedral. The serenity of the cathedral can sooth even the weariest creature alive. The wind continuously breeze towards the cathedral rooms. The small white curtains wave in different direction and birds started chirping on a tree near the windows. The sleeping elf was awakened by the sound of the birds. She slowly opened her eyes but covered it instantly as the sunlight touches her soft pale face. She checked her body and got surprised as she got no traces of bruises or scars.

“W..where am I?” she said. The girl looked around the room to see if there’s anyone he could talk to. The cool breeze gave her a shiver and she reached for the blanket on top of the wooden table. She slowly opened the door and walked through the cold hall way of the cathedral. The Cathedral seems empty.

She continued to walk until she reached the huge door that leads outside. As she was nearing the door, she noticed the huge emblem on it. She recognized that it’s the symbol of their enemy nation – Elerd Kingdom.

Fear enveloped the frail body of the young elf. “What will they do to me??” she said to herself and holding the blanket very tightly. She stood still for about 10 mins until she mustered enough strength to open the door. As she opened the door, her eyes grew big and can’t believe what she saw.

“Why… is everything so peaceful here?” she said. Outside she saw a very peaceful community. Children playing, people laughing…. Everything opposite to where she grew. She held her hair as the wind touched it. She looked up as cherry blossoms fall from the tree in front of her. “I never knew Elerd Kingdom could this be tranquil…” she said as she picks up cherry blossoms.

“Yeah, this is the best place you’ll ever be unlike to your birthplace!” said a mysterious voice. The girl got startled and jumped back, with closed fist and is ready to fight. “Whoa! Take it easy. I’m not gonna fight ok?” said the mysterious voice. The girl eased a bit and watched every move the mysterious fellow. “We are trying hard to protect this land… We bet our lives to protect Elerd, the children and this tree…” The elf girl approached the mysterious fellow. “Im sorry for what my nation did to Elerd… Rogwel is so thirsty for power… I can’t do anything…” the girl sat in the grassy floor. “Hey, don’t worry about it. We know that eversince that Imperator gained power, a lot has already changed. Its not like we blame every rogwel we see” she said. “By the way, my name is Kimmie.” The elf girl looked up and smiled. “So how’s your stay here in Nasdaim so far?” asked Kimmie. The girl gleefully stood up and said “Great! I love this place. I never knew such place would exist.” After saying those words, her mood suddenly changed. “In rogwel, all you see is dessert… all you can see is machines. You can’t have a place where you can give yourself a time to think about anything.” Kimmie got lost of words and just said “Hey, lets just stop talking about it ok? For now, you must still rest as you really got tired and bruised.” She said. “But…” Kimmie halted the girl and said “Don’t worry about it, ok? I’m just gonna inform Cereal and the rest of Defenders of Elerd that you are awake now. I’ll be back in a jiffy so we could talk more.

“Defenders of Elerd…. Are they the ones who saved me?” she asked herself. She felt a huge pain in her chest. “I’m more ashamed now than before…” As Kimmie was about to leave, she suddenly went back and asked “ Before I forget, what is your name, pretty one?” The elf girl gave a sweet smile and said “Erika Lei”

“Diatus! Diatus! We have a problem here” shouted Cereal. Diatus quickly stood up to assess the situation. “What happened here???” said Diatus, while running towards Cereal and EternizMortz. EternizMortz laid the unconscious girl to the ground, wiping the blood off the face of the elf girl. “Some rogwel soldiers tried to do something nasty to this girl. Luckily, we were patrolling the outskirts of our land and we manage to save her.” said EternizMortz. Diatus touched the neck of the girl to check the pulse. “She just lost consciousness due to fatigue. Hurry, bring her to our oracles to heal her wounds and let her rest. EternizMortz quickly brought the girl and immediately entered Nasdaim. “She’s from rogwel, isn’t she?” said Diatus to Cereal. “Yeah, but we couldn’t let her die, right? That’s your rule no.1” said Cereal while smiling. Cereal quickly followed EternizMortz to check out the condition of the girl. Diatus looked in the sky as the dawn breaks in Elerd Kingdom. “I sense a strong energy in her… Is she the catalyst to that old prophet’s insight?”

Meanwhile, inside the Oracle cathedral, the once bruised and bloodied girl is already healed. “I really envy your healing abilities” grins Cereal. The oracles just gave Cereal a blank look and just continued to check the girl’s condition. “She will wake up soon” said one of the oracles. “Thank…” as Cereal was about to finish his words, the Oracles turned their backs and entered the big wooden door that leads to their rooms. “One thing I don’t like about you guys is your RUDENESS! Hear that?? RUDENESS!!!” said Cereal in a very annoyed tone. “Haha! Let it go Cereal. At least they did a great job healing this girl.” Said EternizMortz. He walked silently and sat beside the girl. “You know, you’re to beautiful to be raped by those flesh hungry leeches.” As he was about to touch the face of the elf, Cereal gave an armlock to EternizMortz. “No touching ok??” EternizMortz shriek in pain. “Oh god, Cereal, release me!!! I won’t touch her I promise!!!!” Cereal then let go the arms of EternizMortz. “With your size, I don’t know how you manage to do that.” Said EternizMortz, while still frowning in pain.

Back in the front gates of Nasdaim, Diatus still daydreams and got startled by a huge growl behind him. “DIATUSSSSS!!!!!” shouts romalias. Diatus took out his huge axe and pointed it to romalias. “The next time you do that to me, I won’t have second thoughts on smashing this huge thing to your head.” Said Diatus. Romalias jumped two meters back from where he shouted. “H-hey relax! I just saw you day dreaming here so I decided to sneak up to you. I was just joking!” said romalias. Diatus placed his axe behind his back and puts his arm over romalias’ shoulder. “Promise me this rom. Whatever happens to me, promise me that you won’t give up and continue the fight. Promise me that!” romalias was puzzled by this sudden “promise” Diatus was talking about. He just simply nodded and watch Diatus enter the gates of Nasdaim. “Come, we will have our meeting today right? Don’t be a slowpoke” said Diatus. Romalias run forward and looked back at the dawning sky. “Whatever Diatus is looking at, you surely made him weird this day!” said the still puzzled romalias.

The Republic of Rogwel – a nation of advanced machinery and technology. Rogwel prospered after the great war. Rogwel dominated the continent of Rephran, thus overthrowing the once proud Elerd Kingdom. Because of the advance technology of the surging Rogwels, they started conquering the enemy nation. One by one, each Elerdian resistance fell and many Elerdians have perished. Because of this, most of the Rogwels grew proud of themselves. So proud that most of them developed a “fetish” on killing every Elerdian they see, be it a man, woman or even children.

“I wonder why our Imperator is not using an all out attack to eliminate those elerds” said one of the rogwel soldier. “Yeah, we should force our way and kill those rats!” said another soldier. “I will love to kill each and every one of them hahah!!!” The sandway of Deeren is filled with boisterous laughter. Unknown to them, their captain is listening to their chat.

“Since when did I taught you to be like an animal?” said the captain. Everyone stopped and like obedient children, fell in line. “Sir!” said the rogwels in unison, while raising their hands to give a salute. “I didn’t train you to be an animal, did I?” exclaimed the captain. One rogwel soldier moved forward. “But captain, killing elerds is our mission, right? We should exterminate each and every one of them!” Upon hearing that, a swift punch crossed the unready face of the soldier. “We are ordered to exterminate elerds but we are not ordered to butcher them! Where is your honor??” The soldiers united in silence. “As long as I, Dekas, Captain of the 1st infantry battalion of Rogwel is here, I won’t allow such beastial behavior as this understand?” Everyone nodded and moved out.

“That was quite a speech there, Dekas” said the sweet voice behind him. “I’m glad there are still some honorable Rogwel around. Rogwels became so proud they forgot the morals of the Republic” Upon seeing the owner of the voice, Dekas quickly kneeled. “Lady Scarlet, thank you for the praise” said Dekas. “Oh, stand up Dekas. No need for such formality here.” Said Scarlet. The lady took a letter on her pocket and gave it to Dekas. “What’s this, my lady?” asked Dekas. “The Imperator has ordered our 3 generals to exterminate Diatus. I know you have heard of him” Dekas simply nodded “The fame leader of Defenders of Elerd” Lady Scarlet slowly walked back to Deeren and looked back at Dekas “I just wanted to hand you personally the letter of invitation for a private meeting with the generals regarding the next mission. See you there”

Dekas, still mesmerized by the beauty and charm of Scarlet, can’t believe what he heard. “I’m invited for a meeting with the generals?” Dekas looked to the steamy sky and said “I’ll do my best for the Republic of Rogwel!”

“Are you sure we could use Dekas?” asked the mysterious voice. “I believe in his ability, General Celtic” said Scarlet. “You can test him if you want?” Celtic grinned and turn his back to Lady Scarlet. “I believe in what you say. Since when did you judged incorrectly?” Lady Scarlet just smiled and ride her steam rider.

The gust of wind has swept the fiery sand of Deeren Town. It’s as if a huge catastrophe is about to unfold…

3 gunshots echoed through the forest of Armakanse. 3 Rogwel soldiers quickly fell like a freshly cut tree. “You are the worst kind of creature” said the mysterious pom engineer.

The almost naked girl cried a river, literally. It’s as if a ray of hope suddenly beamed on her hapless body. “Tsk, an elerd!” shouted one of the soldier. “Let’s get rid of this rat and finish what we started here. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone!” The remaining soldiers quickly jumped to the lone pom. “Die elerd!” As they were about to reach the pom, blood squirted and guts spilled. “Defenders of Elerd don’t work alone, mind you that” exclaimed the assassin.

The remaining soldiers were like stucked to the ground. None of them can move upon hearing the words DEFENDERS OF ELERD. “T-they are members of DOE???” cried one soldier. “Look at your faces now, watch what will happen to them, young girl.” As the soldiers were about to run, the two mysterious Elerdian quickly finished them off. “Wonder why the rogwel king even trains these trashes” said the assassin. “Haha, bet our reputation and patriotism will increase a bit with these “slaughter” haha” said the engineer.

The girl, still in an awe shock, manages to open her mouth. “T-thank you for helping… me” The assassin quickly untied the elf girl. “Even though you know that Im also a rogwel citizen, you still saved me from those people…” The pom soldier just smiled and said “We sworn to protect everyone in Elerd, even if its from our enemy nation. So don’t worry, we will make sure you will heal all those wounds” The girl cried because of these words. “I have never been given importance ever since I was born…. Thank you… hmm… can I know the names of my heroes?” The two stood up and said “ I’m Cereal and this one of the best assassin, EternizMortz” upon hearing the names of her saviors, the elf girl fell and lost consciousness. “What should we do with her Cereal?” said EternizMortz. “What else? Let’s bring her to Diatus, he’ll know what to do”

Meanwhile, everything seems so quiet again in Nasdaim. After a very joyous day of celebration, everyone is sleeping soundly – but not Diatus. He is worried about the prophecy he heard regarding his victories against Rogwel. Diatus walked through the town lines of Nasdaim while thinking of the coming problem he has to face. He recalled every single word that the prophet said to him. “You will rise from the ashes to form a group that will withstand the rampaging force of Republic of Rogwel. You will instantly gain fame through your skirmishes, and you will always stand tall to your adversaries. But beware an adversary stronger than you will shoot an immortal arrow and will penetrate your invincible hold to power. The once invincible elerd defenders will scatter throughout the continent, pleading for dear life. Elerd will fall when their monarch fall, thus another dark age for all the Elerds.” Diatus wiped his face and sat down in the front gate.

“But after your death, a warrior will rise again to get all the scattered defenders back again. The defenders will grow far more stronger, so strong that Rogwel will be forced to retreat. This is your destiny Diatus. Your symbol will be seen in every corner of Elerd Kingdom and these will ignite the burning patriotism of each Elerdian…”

Tears began falling from Diatus’ eyes. “ I don’t fear death… I just want to see this war end with my own eyes… I want to reach the end together with everyone…” As the full moon began to move away from the sky, a new day for Elerd Kingdom is about to unfold.

The rise of Defenders of Elerd quickly spread throughout the Elerd Kingdom like wildfire. The story of a small group of Elerd warriors that eradicates huge Rogwel Armies gave a huge boost to all Elerdian morale. “Long live Defenders of Elerd!” said the cheering crowd of Bijumir, “Long live the hopes of Elerd!”

Not only did the group’s popularity spread in Elerd but it also reached the proud Rogwels. This sudden influx of Elerd’s power has given the leader of Rogwel a shiver to his bone. He can’t accept the fact that a few worthless individuals have stood ground with his army. “Let’s see how these imbeciles go up against my elite soldiers” said the furious leader. In a snap of his fingers, 3 shadows appeared in front of him. “You know now what to do” instructed the king. In a blink of an eye, the shadows disappeared.

Meanwhile, Nasdaim is celebrating because of the recent victorious rallies of Defenders of Elerd. “This is one hell of a party here” said CrownedClown, who is still in a shock. “Atleast we could see our citizens happy and celebrating again” said romalias while patching his left arm from a recent cut he received while battling Rogwels. “….” Said Valeska, while walking with eyes closed.

From the city gates to the main shop district, members of Defenders of Elerd receive enormous cheer and claps. “Look at all those beautiful flower petals falling from the sky, rom” said the pretty Sade while holding the hands of romalias. “It’s so romantic”. Yumi-Chan, frowning with the sight of the two holding hands, rushed forward and grabbed the other hand of romalias. “Lookie here rom, they’re putting flower necklace to each DOE members!” As Yumi-Chan was pulling romalias, she felt a resistance… resistance from Sade. “And why are you holding the hands of my romalias?” said Sade while pulling romalias to her side. “And why does it matter to you??” said Yumi-Chan while pulling romalias to her side. The two started a game of tag. Romalias can’t do anything but to watch his arms stretch at both sides. “Ladies, enough with the tag ok?” said the man behind them. “SHUT UP!” screamed the two ladies. As they look behind to see who said those words, they’re ayes grew and let go romalias’ arms. The two walked forward liked nothing happened. “Oh thank goodness Diatus… I feel my arms are gonna tear”. Exclaimed romalias. “Come on, I know you liked that too right?” said Diatus. Romalias just walked forward without saying a word. “Look at that V. That’s what you call a curse of having a baby face” said CrownedClown while laughing hysterically. Valeska looked for a second then just walked forward without saying anything. CrownedClown just scratch his head and walked forward.

“It’s a good thing they maintained their personality even after facing thousands of deaths” said Diatus. “Hope I could stay with these people till we gain freedom again…” A strong gust of wind touched Diatus’ face. “I don’t like this...omen... I should have not spoken to that prophet...”

Meanwhile, in the far ends of Elerd Kingdom, a young rogwel female elf is seen running in the outskirts. The girl is full of wounds and her clothes are torn. “S…somebody… please.. help me..” said the girl in a soft but scared voice. Not far behind from her, a small group of rogwel soldiers are tailing her. “HaHa! This foreplay really excites me” said one of the soldiers. “Yeah, run little girl! We are coming” said the other soldier. The rogwel soldiers catched the elf girl and tied her two hands in a tree. “P-please don’t do this to me… please..” cried the elf girl. The Rogwel soldiers didn’t listen to the plead. It’s as if they’re possessed and hungry for flesh. As the soldiers were about to touch the elf girl, 3 swift gunshots were heard. 3 soldiers instantly fell to the ground. “Who’s that??? Show yourself!!!” shouted one soldier. “I pity people like you. You should be ashamed of yourself” exclaimed by a pom Engineer…

The sound of alarm woke the people of Deren Aim. "Rogwels are coming! Rogwels are coming!" shouts the wounded human warrior. Panic errupted and the already torn Deren Aim is stirred in confusion. Elerds of Deren Aim no longer has the will to fight. Elerds already knew that the Republic of Rogwel will target the last standing outpost of Elerd Kingdom. They knew Deren Aim is fated for a gruesome demise.


The ground shook as the charging forces of Rogwel breached the last wall of defense of Deren Aim. Elerds scattered around. Elerdian blood painted the outpost. Only a few survived but was held in a corner. "What shall we do with these rats?" shouts the Rogwel Luife Paladin. "Shall we cut their heads off now?" "Let's just finish these off and continue with our mission" said the Rogwel Captain. Rogwel warriors started closing in to the remaining Elerds of Deren Aim. "This will be real quick, Elerdian" says the Rogwel Luife Paladin, while licking his axe. "This will be over real... arrrrgg........"


The paladin didn't got to finish what he was saying as his neck is slashed and blood spilled. The whole Rogwel army stood in shock as one by one they fall. A shadow suddenly appear above the old oak tree - An Elerd Assassin!


"You will all pay for these you dirty scums!" said the Elerd Assassin. As the remaining Elerds looked at the direction of the voice, they quickly recognized it. "CrownedClown!!!!"


The Rogwel Army laughed in unison. "Do you think you can do that stealth attack again? Do you think you can stop us all just by yourself?? Ha Ha Ha!" CrownedClown jumped down and pointed his Bezel Dagger to the Rogwel Army. " Do you think I'll come here and face all of you alone?" From out of nowhere, a small Elerd group rushed the unsuspecting Rogwel Army. Rogs started flying everywhere as the rush attack of the trio of Diatus, romalias and Valeska hit the already surprised Rogwel warriors. "Ha Ha Ha! This is what I call fun" said romalias, while swinging his huge hammer. "....." said Valeska, while quickly cutting each rogwel he sees. "Take away everything, and leave them nothing!" shouts Diatus. The whole Defenders of Elerd quickly charged too and finished all the Rogwel Army. Roar of victory surrounded the bloodied Deren Aim. "This victory is for the Elerd Kingdom!" Roared Diatus, as he looks at the dead Elerdians. "I'm sorry my brothers for coming late... Rest assured, your deaths will be avenged".


Unknown to them, a Rogwel shadow walker lurks in the darkness. "So this is the Defenders of Elerd... quite impressive. Lets see if you can hold to your words, Diatus" As the darkness succumbs the outpost, the lone shadow walker disappears from sight.

From the aftermath of the great war of the past and the great Elerd Kingdom has fallen from the rampaging force of the Republic of Rogwel, a group of legendary Elerds have gathered around the Huge Furnace Square in Nasdaim.

“We are in great danger brothers” said romalias. Rogwel is getting close of eradicating the whole Elerd Kingdom…”. “Day by day, a lot of our Elerd brothers sacrifice their lives to protect our kingdom” said the weary Assassin named CrownedClown. Everyone began talking. Some are getting weary and some are getting afraid of the situation. From the far end of the Furnace, a middle aged man stood and smashed his sword to the tree beside him. All those gathered around looked silently, waiting for what this man will say. “Hush my brothers! Remove all those anxiety and fear from your heart. We are raised warriors of Armakanse! Fear is a weakness that most of us have fallen into. Remove this, I say. There is no room for fear. There is only room for glory… for Elerd Kingdom!!!”

As the man finished talking, a deafening roar suddenly surrounded Nasdaim. The fear that enveloped their heart has burned and the light of hope shined upon all the present Elerds.

“Let this be the day that our freedom soar and eat those Rogwel spirit. Let this be the day the Defenders of Elerd soar high and eradicate all living Rogwel soul!”.

The earth shaked as the trembling shout of courage crossed mountains. Let this be known to everyone that Diatus, the son of the great Mercus, is standing tall and sworn to protect Elerd kingdom…. Together with his Defenders of Elerd
