Vanguard: Sons Of Ryden

By Kay Tsurugi

Tides of time. A Forgotten Past. A Viking by Blood in a post-apocalyptic era. Where one world ends and new one begins. A tale of secrets, fate, and destiny. A man's fight for a place to belong. Like the raging tides and the ruthless moods of the sea. The path thread is unforgiving. Where thou art belong o brother of one whose name lost. What would thou be?
Raizel reminiscing the days he has lived and live. The miles he has walked. The people he has met. He lay hidden in the uncertainty of his own destiny. Hoping no one can see through his fears. One hand over his eyes. Shading the light of the sun. Warm on his skin. His thoughts travel to that day. "Raizel we can't do this. Mother will find out and she will be angry." Zachary spoke. "I have an idea." Raizel whispers into his brother's ear. "Wait... I am scared. Mother will kill me." Zachary disagreeing. "Don't worry she can't tell between you and me. That is why she dress us different." Raizel said. Zachary reluctantly agrees. "Raizel if we fall we will be hurt very bad." Zachary said climbing the tree at their back courtyard. "We won't if we are careful." Raizel said.
The sun was high. Two boys on an adventure. "Come on Zach, you want to see what's at the top right? Cause I want to see." Raizel excited. From that tall tree they can see the city below. When they reach the top. Raizel stands up. Zachary telling him to be careful. "Don't worry Zach. I will..." And then it happened. Raizel slipped. He nearly fall off the tree if Zachary didn't catch him. "Don't look down Rai. I will pull you up." His brother instructed. "No don't." Raizel looks down and begins to panic. His hand flail up and as Zach pulls him up to safety. He pulled Zachary by his collar. The last thing he saw is Zachary falling off the tree. Raizel take a breath. The pain he felt that day. And his decision he made. Brought him to this day.
