    Christmas Entry Story….
    I was done, done from this war and this blade. I have already lost everything that was close to me. Everything but this fang of blade, this crystalisk fang was all I got left. All of the meanings and reasons lost, or so I thought it was. It was December 25th, the day that all the little kids came out and play happily due to their wonderful gifts. While they all did that I was alone. Alone because this day was the day I lost all the meanings I ever had. We was the best, the best there ever was. Me, Cricket and him, Beetle. All of it started to comeback, flashbacks was all I could see in the thick white snow.
    “Cricket why you taking so long?” he asked. Then I answered, “I still need to sharpen this sword Beetle, relax.” “I still don’t think we should go do this alone mate. We need more of our fellow mates.” After Beetle said that I got ticked off and I yelled, “Why are you so scared, why do you got to be such a chicken?” He got quiet and left. We was best buds and also the best warriors alive. Cricket and Beetle was what people called us. I was loud and vicious but yet so hard to find while he was like a beetle crawling everywhere but yet as hard to get through as a beetle’s shell. After I was done sharpening my sword I went over to Beetle’s place. While I walked up to him I said, “We got to go now and get things done and comeback and celebrate Christmas like everyone else” “No problem mate I got it” was what he said in such confidence. Then we were on our way, our way to slay the Crystalisk Dragon. The beast was huge and all we had was each other’s back and the blade we had on our side. “Let’s do this!” he shouted. He started swiping away at the dragon with courageous swipes. I charged and went all out berserk at the mighty dragon. After various blows and hits Beetle managed to cut off a piece of the dragon’s ear. The beast roared and both of us went flying to the ground. At that point I knew we couldn’t do it just yet. We had to regroup and think of a strategy. “Retreat Beetle! He’s going to kill us if we keep going!” I screamed. He yelled back, “we can’t give up now, we’re so close!” At that point I knew I couldn’t convince him to return with me safely. It left me no other choice. I rushed down towards him and swiped him with my fist above his head. He fell into the soft white snow. The dragon attacked but luckily I had a speed potion. I used it, picked up the piece of ear that was cut off from the dragon and carried Beetle all the way back to the town. Hours later Beetle had woken from his sleep. “Why did we run mate?” he said in his soft tired voice. “We had to, we have got to have better swords.” I answered as calmly as I could. Then he asked me, “Didn’t you said we was all that was needed?” I paused for a moment before I answered him, “we are the only ones needed and after I’m done making this sword made out of that dragon’s ear, we’ll slay that beast like nothing.” During that night I spent all the time I could to finish the sword. I called it, Crystalisk Fang. In the morning all I could hear was Beetle’s wife yelling and screaming. “He’s gone, he’s gone!” I knew right away where he had gone. I grabbed the fang and headed straight to the beast. When I got there I was too late. Beetle was already face down in the snow. His daggers were broken into bits and pieces. I went out of control. I swiftly ran towards the dragon, swiped it. The dragon roared in pain. Then the mighty dragon blew out dangerous smokes of fire. I flew and crashed. I thought I was done for. Death was in between my eyes. And then I heard, “Cricket, do it now.” It was Beetle. At that point I knew what he meant. He had drained down the dragon’s defenses and he was now vulnerable. I got up quickly and used my cyclone ability which damaged the dragon greatly and left it stunned and unable to move. After that I used my ultimate ability, shockwave. I jumped deep into the air and slashed the dragon right between the eyes cutting the beast into two pieces. We did it, we saved the town from the future destruction the dragon would bring to us. I ran quickly to Beetle. “Hey are you alright, why did you come alone?” I cried. “It was a piece of cake mate. I told you I got it.” He answered. He was coughing up blood. “You didn’t need to do this, if you would’ve just waited for me you wouldn’t be like this!” I yelled. “Why do you think people call me beetle for mate?” he chuckled in his last gasp of air. “Stop it with your mate crap! We’re best buds! We’re brothers!” I shouted in tears. He was gone, gone before he could hear me call him my brother for the first time in our 20 years of companionship.
    That was 5 years ago but yet I could still see all of it like it was just yesterday. Seeing all the kids play outside only makes me wish those kids don’t make the same mistake I did. Hoping they don’t lose anywhere near as much as I have. This Crystalisk Fang means nothing to me now. All it brings is sadness and sorrow. “Set the fire Beetle!” I yelled out. I had named my son after my best bud, my brother. I threw the fang into the fire. As I watched it burn into a crisp I felt more free. Goodbye old friend, goodbye brother, and goodbye…..mate.

    Some people should remember whats important in life.

    Home for christmas

    Some years ago, in a country far away from here, in a place called Colossus Shadowfields, there lived a small family. The parents loved each other very much and doted on their two little children: An eight year old smart girl called Mellyna and a cute boy of four years called Annun.Their small house was located near a windmill. They did not have much money, but they had a cozy home filled with love.

    One day the parents went out to hunt some food, but they never came back. Mellyna waited patiently with Annun, as her parents told her. When there was a knock on the door, she did not open it. Her Parents told her evil people may do something bad if she opend the door. But the knocking did not stop and Annun started to cry, so she went to the window and tried to see the people infront of the door. When she recognized the leader of the close by city called Pandan Village, she slowly opend the door and said "Hello."

    The adults looked down at her and made the little girl very uncomfortable. "We are very sorry to tell you, but your parents got killed by a livid monster." They started. "You two will need to come with us. From now on you will live in an orphanage in our town. So pack your clothes and follow us!"

    Mellyna could not believe it. Her beloved parents... dead! But she did not have time to think, nor cry. The adults waited impatiently for her to get their things and set them down on a horse. They did not even care for her little brother much, they just expected her to hold him.

    A short while later they were dumped at the orphanage and an evil looking old lady showed them there room. Or maybe it would be better to say a small broom closet. It was stuffed with cleaning utensils and other things. Mellyna thought she even saw some spiders!

    The next days she tried hard: To forget the pain from loosing her parents, to care for her little brother because noone else did and to do the many chores she was ordered to do. But after some weeks she just could not take it anymore. The older children harassed her, especially some twelve year old called Kyubey.

    Soon the leaves started to fall and shortly after the first snow followed. Sadly Mellyna remembered her last christmas with her family. Many candles burned in their living room, the fireplace warmed the whole room and they sang special songs. She and her brother even got a small present from her parents each. A little necklace with a small symbol, that should remind them of their parents love forever.

    As her hands touched the symbol on her necklace, she looked down on her little brother and came to a hard decision: She would run away alone, work hard and come back to care for her brother one day. She could not take him with her, he was too small and the cold weather outside would kill him.

    With a heavy heart, she kissed him at the top of his head and whispered sadly "Im sorry Annun but i promise i will be back one day!" She did not know it at this point, but this would be the last time she would see him for the next eight years. Slowly she sneaked out of the room and out of the orphanage. She only hoped, someone would care for Annun until she could take him.

    Long, hard weeks she strayed through the country without an aim. It was so cold, always so cold. Her lips turned blue and her feet did not want to work anymore. She lost all the hope, because she did not know where she was anymore, wandering around in a forest dark as the night.

    When a big wild boar atacked her, her body could not take it anymore and she fainted. Hours later she woke up, but was very surprised when she realized, that her body was comfortable and there was no coldness. She was resting on a soft bed and was covered with a big blanket.

    When she opend her eyes, Mellyna looked straight to an elderly beautiful woman, that sat beside the bed. "Hello little one." She started. "My name is Lucinda and im the greatest healer in this part of the world. I have a proposal for you, as I think you are in dire need of aid: Help me with my work and my houshold and I will show you skills, that many people only dream of." Mellyna did not need to think for long, that would be her one time chance, so she said "Yes"

    With this her training started: She cleaned up the house, cooked meals and most importantly she started to learn the basics of healing. Years went by, lonely years where she missed her brother every day. But she continued on, to work for a better life. One day, Lucinda ordered her to sit with her. "Mellyna..." she started "... it is time to let you go. I showed you all i could, now make a name for yourself."

    With this Lucinda send her out of the home she knew for the last years and Mellyna stood baffled infront of the door. Without a second thought she took her things and started her journey through the country, back to Pandan Village. When she had the chance she healed people and even got some money for it. But her main aim was to finally get back to her little brother Annun.

    Years went by since she last saw him, lonely years, years of regret of leaving him behind. Annun would be twelve years old by now, Mellyna only hoped he would remember her. It was snowing outside. It rememberd her of the time eight years ago, when she left shortly before christmas. But this time, she had some warm clothes, money and skills to care for herself and her brother.

    Nervous she stood infront of the orphanage and knocked. When the old hag from years before opend the door, Mellyna stood up straight "I'm here to get my brother Annun!" She said. "Annun?" The old hag asked, before steping into the house and barking out loud "Annun, come here this instance". Mellynas heart broke when she saw a little boy rushing to the door. He was very skinny and his clothes had big holes. "Yes Madam?" Annun asked, with his eyes downcast. But she only kicked him out of the door "Theres your sister, now leave!" She hollered and shut the door behind her.

    Sadly Mellyna looked at the small broken boy. "Hello" she said warmly. "I'm sorry i was not there for you for the last years, but this will change now." Annun looked at her with caution, but when she showed him her necklace, he started to cry. Mellyna took him into her arms and cuddled him. "This will be a new start for both of us."

    Soon after they found a new home in a small village near Goddess Springs. Mellyna was working as a healer and was making a great name for herself. With the money she got, she made them a cozy home and Christmas came soon. Many candles burned in their living room, the fireplace warmed the whole room and she sang special songs with Annun, that she learned from her parents. She even had a little present for her brother: A little pendant for his necklace. "I will never leave you again, I promise"
