Niflheim El
Diablo del hielo.

Randi awoke from what seemed like an hour
of not sleep, but just darkness. He tried to stand, but he was
a bit groggy from whatever just happened. As his eyes focused,
he noticed many unfamiliar faces. Warriors, mages, sorcerors
of all ages, sex, and even race. A few of these warriors
stared as if they were judjing him.
Randi gasped, "Is
my sword ok?" he felt his sheath. Randi had never felt better
to see that HE had the sword. However, something was wrong
with it. It no longer shimmered as it had before. 'What's
going on?' he thought. 'I can't feel Mana anymore...' Usually
the sword was a magnet to the power of Mana from the seeds.
Then he remembered the words Luka said to him in the water
temple.
"Holes?" Randi said
"Yes, it is
conflicting with the growth of the new Mana Tree. I would
appreciate it if you investigated," replied the sage.
'That whirpool must have been a hole' Randi
thought. He raised his sword to his face. 'and now I don't
have any mana...'
As he wandered a bit looking for the
captain and maybe some of the crew, the warriors started
gathering. And there was a voice,
"Everyone, report to
the temple at the centre of the jungle immediately. I repeat,
report to the temple at the centre of the jungle immediately."
'Guess I'll follow everyone else.' he thought.
They all crowded around a couple off extremely
odd looking people. "I welcome you, warriors, to the
Tournament of Champions. The challenge will test your skill,
your wits, and your will to live. I am Mian and this is my
compatriot Volnes. We are conducting this tournament to find a
person worthy of joining the Eternal's Echelon. I assure you,
this is as great a prize as anyone can offer."
"Tournament?" Randi yelled, but he was hoarse from the
black and no one heard, if they did, they offered no reply. 'I
was summoned here?! How do I get back? I don't want to
be a Mana Knight, much less an Ishlon.'
Then
something else the voice said caught his attention.
"Before I let you go, I should mention that a few
individuals have managed to enter this dimension without our
assistance. They are not contenders in this tournament, and I
would recommend not wasting your energies on attacking them."
Randi gave a sigh of relief. 'I'm guess the crew
are among those individuals.
"When you leave
here, you will have one hour to spread yourselves out before
you begin battle. Anyone who fights before the hour is up
shall be disqualified. Good luck, warriors. May the Creator
watch over you."
'What am I going to do?' he
thought. At that moment some started to cheer and talk
excitedly amongst themselves. 'What is this Ishlon?
Maybe I can trade it for a way home. But...first I should
think about winning this tournament.'
