Prologue
The story I am about to tell you is a story not known by most. It is a story of a time long passed. Do you remember the long-lost land of Zentra, the land of fantasy? If you don’t let me tell you its story? When the Great Gods were born their names were Logos of light, FlameKing the Flame, Cypher the Dark, Patos of Earth, Lor the psycho, Akara of water, and Orakes of wind. They grew bored of having nothing to rule so they decided to create a planet of their own. Patos created Earth and gave it life. The other gods decided to create a way to protect Earth; they all worked together and created Zentra, a sort of shell around Earth. Akara and Logos then blew life into both lands. Earth got humans, birds, and animals; Zentra got Super-humans, monster, elves and all other fantasy creatures. No one knows if it still exists because 300 years ago we tried destroying Zentra, but unknown to us Zentra had a Shield to protect it. It hit and only angered Jack their emperor. He flew to the mountain that connected Zentra to Earth. There are two different versions of Jack: the original was spawned from Cyphers blood from a battle between him and Logos; the second is the product of FlameKing remaking Jack, the original Jack’s soul was split in two: his good and evil sides. The story I will tell you starts 2,000 years ago.

Chapter 1
Beginnings
The Pianna Knights, an ancient group of monster-slayers; was once a feared name, is now not even remembered. They were betrayed by one of their own. The traitor of the Pianna Knights was one called Jack, who is now known as the Deceiver. Jack is a bio-engineered monster that is a very strong fire charmer. After the betrayal only four were left under the leadership of a light charming knight. They were not seen for two years, then suddenly these five knights were seen everywhere. Each one was equipped with a special sword filled with a special kind of energy called charming. Charming is a powerful elemental attack where the user sends the energy through their body at the target. There are only seven kinds of charming: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Psycho, Shadow, and Light. After three years of slaying monsters the knights made a decision to protect the world from the ultimate weapon, their swords. They gathered in a deep part of the Gnarled Forest. The Light Knight told them his plan, which was to lock his sword in great boulder using the other swords. The others were told to disband and hide their swords so that none could use the light sword to destroy the world. In a book it is said if the great light sword is plunged into the planet combined with the other swords could destroy the planet. After the task was complete all except the Light Knight disappeared. The Light Knight with the help of a time controller, a person able to use time in any way, set some safety locks. The first was light surrounding that part the forest whether it was day or night it would be lit. Second he had the time controller stop time in that part of the forest. Finally the time controller made the field of time open from the outside and close from the inside. After a while the light knight died but instead of finding peace he was returned to Zentra in a ghostly state. Later the other four followed. Some believe that because the swords were not protected that the knights were returned to Zentra after they died.
Looking to the north knoll noticed the smoke rising. For some unknown reason knoll was sent to this world but he gets the feeling it is to save the world. He got transported an hour ago equipped only with a sword and bow. Clothed in clothes he had never seen before. Upon transporting he discovered he had somehow gained super-human speed and strength. In the north a village was being slowly consumed in fire. It was being attacked by one of the minions of Jack, a fire demon on the search for an ancient scroll that told the location of his ancient sword. The sword is the only thing that sustains his life. He has the “Changed” spread all over Zentra. Knoll headed back into the cave he transported into. As he walked in he noticed the light was finally shining into the cave enough to see around. He saw it was not a cave at all but an old collapsed temple. In the center was a stone dragon that looked so real its scales looked like they were moving. The Seven Gods of Charming had sent this dragon there to help Knoll. Logos, the leader of the gods, told them to help Knoll stop Jack. They know that if Jack succeeds in becoming a god he will kill off the other gods. He has been planning to take over for a thousand years. When Knoll walked up to the dragon it spoke to him and somehow he was able to understand. It said, “DO NOT BE AFRIAD. I AM DARKFIRE, THE GODS HAVE SMILED UPON YOU FOR THEY HAVE BOUND ME TO HELP AND SERVE YOU. WE HAVE MUCH TO DO SO PLEASE GET ON MY BACK. WE NEED TO GET TO THE GUILD OF THIEVES. THERE WE WILL FIND JEWEL AND HER MERCINARIES.” On the way DarkFire told Knoll everything that he knew about Zentra and about Jack. As he arrived at the Thieves Guild Knoll is told through his mind who Jewel is. Jewel is a human that had a transfusion of Evil Jacks blood. When Jack was created he was just a ball of swirling energy. Then there was a flash and the energy split into two smaller balls. First one broke then the other one broke later. The first ball held Evil Jack who later took control of Zentra. When the second ball broke Good Jack came out and automatically went to the Elves who put him in hibernation. When Knoll finds Jewel he tells her he is going to try to attack him now. Jewel tells him that she’ll come with him but first they need to go to the Forest of Elves. When Knoll and Jewel get to the Dragon Room to meet with the leader of the elves, Bethany. She is the only one that knows where Good Jack is hibernating. She tells them that while they are at Jacks castle she will wake Good Jack up. Jewel says to Knoll before they leave, “The only way into Jacks land and into his castle is by horse.” They head out and get through the Forest of Death, Jacks land, and into his castle called the Castle of Fire and Illusions. They get to the Throne Room, without much opposition, and the doors close and lock. Suddenly Evil Jack appears in front of them. “Welcome to your death. How are you my sister?” Jewel replies, “I’m only your half-sister remember.” Jack looks Knoll up and down three times then says,“ So this is the great Knoll I’ve heard of you. They say you’re a very good swordsman. Lets put that to the test and takes out his sword. Knoll takes out his sword and they start fighting. After three strikes Jack cuts strait through Knolls sword. Jack puts his sword away and says, “ Let’s test your charming abilities.” Knoll says, “I don’t any charming abilities.” “Oh” replied Jack, “Well then I’ll give you one.” So Jack says, “Jetbutsu” and instantly Earth Charming abilities come into his mind. He is now remembering the original users abilities. They fought for three days until Jack was winning and he suddenly said, “Jetbutsu” and Knolls new powers went instantly back to Jack. “Now lets see how fast you can think?” Suddenly fire went around and over Knoll. “You have two minutes to get out of the fire, you won’t be able to see, and it will be decreasing in size.” After he said that he struck the ground with his shadow hammer and darkness went everywhere. At the last second the fire disappeared and the lights came back on. Knoll drained of all his energy fell on the floor too tired to sit up. Jack is in front of him and says, “ You were a pitiful challenge. Let this encounter be a lesson to you. I will let you live for now, but I will give you something to remember me by.” Jack then takes out a finely crafted dagger and cuts Knoll up everywhere. Jack then instantly sends them back to the Forest of Elves. Two days later Knoll wakes up with scars all over his arms, legs, back, and chest. He finally notices Jewel and Bethany asleep at the foot of his bed and thinks, “They must have been worried about me.” Jewel wakes up and sees Knoll finally awake. She asks him, “How did it feel to have that much power?” Knoll replies with, “it was great.” He then asks, “Why didn’t you help me?” Jewel tells Knoll that, “Evil Jack has many powers. One was the ability to paralyze people and that’s what he did to me.” Knoll, exhausted from the fight with Evil Jack, goes back to sleep. “So starts the war of the swords.” Jewel says before leaving for her own room.
End of Chapter One

Chapter 2
Memories
It’s been three days since Knoll awoke from the horrible ordeal of the castle. Jewel ever since hasn’t left his side; not even to sleep. It’s been two days without sleep for her and she is slowly succumbing to the sleepiness. Upon falling asleep she dreams a long forgotten memory of when she was just as bad as Jack.
Jack needed four horsemen to find the swords of the Knights of Charming and getting rid of any problems that occurred. After two years of serving him- as Death a black-hearted, black- winged villain. She found three of the five swords with the help of Pyro, Jacks apprentice. They found the Water, Shadow, and Air swords. When he told them to go to a certain town and make them tell her where the Earth sword was located. Jewel just couldn’t do it. She returned empty handed and told Jack “I don’t want to fight anymore.” “Frankly you don’t have a choice. Do you remember the mask on your face; well it’s been slowly putting a mind-control chemical in your system.” Jewel replies in shock with “ How could you, I’m your sister!” then it went dark, next thing she knew she was in a meeting room. She then hears Jacks voice, “ Here’s a demonstration, STAND UP.” Suddenly Jewel couldn’t control her legs and stood up. Jack then told Jewel to go sit in a chair and she did. Jack then called for Pyro and told him to bring the Pool of Reflection. He then reveals to everyone that he had known for quiet some time that his sister Jewel had been talking to the enemy about Jack, Pyro, and the Changed. “If you don’t believe me look into the pool?” Jack tells them. Both Jewel and Pyro look into the pool and notice the water does seem different. Jack then looks into the pool and says “three weeks ago” into the pool. The water swirls and clears up showing Jewel talking with some elven warriors. Pyro looks into Jewels eyes with anger in his eyes. All Jewel hears is Pyros voice saying Goodbye then it went dark. The next thing she knew she was in a hospital in the Forest of the Elves. After a few days of rest Jewel visits their leader, Bethany a Gold Dragon rider, she wanted to help the elves stop Jack. Bethany takes Jewel to a cave and shows her Good Jack, then she shows her the secret room under Logos’ statue. Jewel then tells Bethany the secret she has been holding for nearly two million years, that Jack is weak against Light. Suddenly Bethany see’s the error of the elves. They thought, from seeing him only laugh at everything else thrown at him, it wouldn’t work. They devised a plan after three days of planning. Jewel would lure Jack to a raven where light archers and light charmers would be hiding. They would bomb board him with light attacks. After they had knocked him out they took him to the secret room, which was actually a prison. The prison was directly under the statue. A beam of light always shines on the statue and is reflected through a hole in a dome like way. There were chains made of light in the center. This prison held him for five years, until a very headstrong elf thought she could kill jack and end the waiting. She undid the chains and told him to stand. With lightning fast moves shot her with a super-nova blast. No one knows how he got out so fast, but he left no one alive. Suddenly from his castle people could hear the sounds of his factories starting up again.
As soon as Knoll was able to walk plans were being thought of. Jewel started feeling tired of waiting so she just hid of in the library trying to find a way to kill her brother. Finally after a week of looking through ancient books she found it, the way to kill her brother was to use the long lost sword of the Light Knight, the only weapon able to destroy any kind of evil. She ran through the entire forest looking for Knoll and Bethany. Once she found them she told them her plan, which was to use the Great Light Sword against him. “The only problem is that we will need to find the five other swords to get the light sword.
