13th Halloween at Argent City
This year's Halloween seem to be nothing special. The townfolks of Argent will throw Halloween parties, wear pumpkin masks and dress up as ghouls and skeletons. However, only one person knew the dark significance of Halloween this year, which happens to be the 13th Halloween Argent is celebrating. This person happens to be Old Man- Blurry, who was one of the founders of Argent City.
13 years ago, a prophet had predicted that a disaster will befall Argent City on the 13th Halloween. The secret was left with Old Man- Blurry, for the other founders of Argent City died mysteriously over the years. The prophet left Blurry with a formula for saving Argent City by making a sacrifice to the lord.
This fateful Halloween Day, little Serra was sent on a quest for items which include Cuddly Lamb's tears, Kangeroo Brew, Treant's Heart and Fallen Naiad's Wings. Little Serra was very excited and had thought that the items were for the massive Halloween party tonight. Serra came back with the items within an hour, and Blurry took the items to his magical mixing pot.
"BOOM!" ..a loud high pitch sound came from the kitchen and Blurry came back with a magical potion with a sinister look on his wrinkled face.
Blurry had instructed Serra to drink the potion he created with the items and told Serra to get an afternoon nap so as to prepare for tonight. However, Blurry felt guilty for he had chosen Serra to be sacrificed to the Demonic lord of the Demonic World in order to save Argent City.
Hours later...... Serra woke up to a deserted gloomy Argent City.
"WOW! Halloween sure is fun!" exclaimed Serra.
Serra walked towards Argent bar and saw no one. Argent Bar was supposed to be the venue for celebrating Holloween party. Serra quickly realised something was amiss. Making a quick dash towards Blurry's house, Serra came to a immediate stop there. Blurry's house was no longer there, instead it was a plot of graveyard filled with tombstones. Serra examined the tombstones and saw the names of all the other townfolks of Argent City on one of the tombstones there. Apparrently shocked,... Serra fainted and lost conscious.
Far away in the Demonic World, the Demonic Lord rewarded his trusted slave, Adam and gave him the title of Skeleton Warrior Commander.
"Had it not been for you, I would not have reigned supreme over Argent City and wise Old Man-Blurry. Muhahahaha!!!" sniggered The Demonic Lord
Adam changed his form into the prophet and headed to Icicle Town, which will be celebrating its 13th Halloween next year... |
