A Name

I stepped out of the portal and soon turned to watch it close behind me. I sighed as I looked up at Flame. He seemed to be getting his head into shape, and I had to do the same thing. Since we typically never traveled like that. Soon enough Flame and I got our bodies back to normal, well I thought we did. Flame jumped off of me and began to vomit. I guess it was harder on him than me. I soon felt something was off. It was like something was missing from me. I looked at my left hand. I couldn't feel my Fable powers. Huh, I guess that portal somehow zapped away all my powers. I suppose I'll just have to let them come back to me.

"Oh let's never do that again," said Flame finishing up vomiting.

"I think we won't have to. I don't see a way to use that portal again." I said

We both looked back just to see a wall. I sighed, as I was still right, it was a one-way trip. Though I looked to see, we were in an old stone building. It was old and dilapidated. But even with that, it looked quite presentable. I went over and made sure Flame was alright and pulled out a water bottle, I had bought, for him. I knew it was important that he gets his mouth cleaned up. Flame took the bottle and drank a little water and spat it out before drinking some more.

"So ready now," I said

"Sure am and thanks, Xavier," said Flame as he gave me back the water bottle.

I put it back into the pocket in my backpack before speaking, "Well your welcome, now let's see what we can find here."

We both began to walk the old stone floors of this place. Every footstep we made echoed throughout the halls. We looked at the building to see if we could find any clues to what it was. But everything we looked at had been worn down by time. But soon enough, we did find a wall with something on it. I stopped at looked at it.

"What's up, Xavier?" Asked Flame

"I want to check out that relief on the wall. Maybe it will give us an idea of where we are. Or at least tell us what this building is." I said

We walked over to the wall and looked over the relief. The writing on the wall was again in strange lettering that appeared on the stone portal. I decided to look at the pictures, but they were as worn down like everything else in this place. I thought I could get some idea from it, but at least I did get something. The picture was of the armored human figure standing with a castle in the background.

"Xavier, that figure is standing behind the castle that once stood in Fabalis." Said Flame

He was right, the Castle of Fabalis or known to all Fables as Farsa. But usually, the name never is brought up since the castle doesn't exist anymore. But it was strange to see the figure was raising the castle from the sands that cover Fabalis. Just more questions that we all wished had answers. Flame and I walked away from the wall as we headed onwards. Soon enough we hit a pair of wooden doors. The strange thing was that the doors looked almost new, not a sign of age was upon them.

"Strange to see wooden doors, like these," I said

"Yeah, would have thought they would be falling apart by now." Said Flame

"Come on let's move them," I said

We tried desperately to move them, but they weren't moving an inch. We huffed and puffed, but still, the doors didn't budge an inch. So I then decided that we had to destroy them, and I had the perfect Fable in mind to do it. For you see, since Flame is a Fable, he has a set of powers. Fire is one such power he can use.

"Flame, burn down the doors," I said

"But Xavier, this is a historical sight." Said Flame

"Flame, these are a pair of wooden doors. I'm sure that the rest of the building is more valuable than the wooden doors." I said

"I guess your right, well stand back, here comes the flames." He said

He took in a good amount of air as he held it in his body. He then breathed out a stream of orange and blue flames. They quickly lit the doors on fire. We waited for something to happen, but to our surprise, the doors didn't burn. Not a single scorch mark was present on them. It was like the fire hadn't even touched them.

"Well, that was a waste." Said Flame

"Strange," But as I wanted to speak more, I felt the same stinging pain in my left hand. I looked to see my mark once again glowing, but even stronger as it was coming through the glove. I saw a mark appear in front of the doors. I looked at Flame and then back at the mark, "It seems like we have to use my powers to open these doors."

I placed my hand on the mark and poured my energy into it. The mark in front of the doors glowed and yet again, another blast of light came at us. We covered our eyes, and when it stopped, the place was back to a finer shape. Flame and I looked around to see if we were in another illusion, but it didn't feel that way.

"Well, at least my powers came back. Probably drained what little energy that returned to me," I said

"Yeah, but what's weirder is the last time we did it, we were in an illusion. This time, it almost feels as if everything in here is real as if we have traveled back in time." Said Flame

"Do you think that's what happened?" I asked

"Well you know Fable powers can do many things. I mean we saw a relief of the golden armor figure with Farsa behind him. So I wouldn't be surprised if he left the mark and it allowed us to travel back in time. I wonder if your mother took the same path." Said Flame

"I'm not sure. I guess will walk forward and see what we can find. If anything, hopefully, a way out." I said

We walked through the doors and looked around. Everything had this fresh new kind of feeling. Sure I knew had a connection to my Fable powers, which my mother and I can only understand about ten percent of what it can do. So using it to travel back in time or make a place travel back in time could be an option. But we still walked till we hit two sets of doors. One seemed to lead out of the castle, while the other had the large crystal heart in the middle.

"I think we found our way out." Said Flame

"We can't leave yet, Flame," I said

"Why not?" He asked

I put down my backpack down and unzipped it. I searched through my stuff for the key. I pulled it out and looked at the handle. I zipped my bag up and placed it on my back again.

"I want to know what is in that room. The heart on the door is the same design we have been seeing. It is almost as if theirs a connection to us in some way. Not mentioning this has to go to something in this place. I just know it goes to what is behind that door." I said

Flame had no counter argument against me. So I walked forward and used the key on the crystal heart door. I placed the key in the lock and turned it. I heard the tumblers open for me, so I removed the key and pushed the doors open. Inside was a massive room. Flame and I both entered and looked at all the reliefs on the walls around us. They showed the golden armored human standing behind Farsa once again. Though it was something, we had already seen, though this time it looked much better. We reached the end and saw a new picture. The picture was of the armored figure with a sword in his hand. The other side of him were demonic creatures. The armored human seemed to be sealing them in stone prisons. But behind the armored human was a dragon. It had the crystal heart in the middle of its body.

I wonder if that's what the crystal heart is all about. But I don't see the smaller crystals that are on the back of the coat. I wonder how they fit into all of this. Still so many questions. I walked forward to get a better view of the relief, but my foot began to sink. I looked down to see I had activated a booby trap.

"Booby trap!" I yelled

I ran off and grabbed Flame. I took him and ducked behind a rock that was in the room, but nothing happened. We both looked and were surprised at what we found. Now on the floor was a sword stuck in a stone pedestal, it was like Legend of Zelda was staring at me. We both came out and looked at it. The upper part stuck out from the stone. The sword was a crimson red in color. The handle had a crystal shard at the end. Then from the handle, it went down to a circle with the crystal heart in the middle. I was getting tired of seeing hearts. Then it led out to two hands that each looked sharp. But the tip and most of the blade was stuck in the stone. But the surprising part was that it was chained up and the only way to get it was by having a particular key.

"Who would lock up a sword?" Asked Flame

"I'm not sure, but it is cool. I mean, I am getting tired of looking at hearts, but it is still a cool looking sword," I said

Flame held the lock in his hand. He seemed to be thinking about it. He then turned to me and spoke, "Hey Xavier, maybe that key will also work for this lock. It seems to be about the right shape for it."

I pulled out the key and looked at it. I shrugged, "Well might as well give it a shot."

I stepped up and took the lock in my hand. Flame stood behind me as he watched. I knew why he was doing it, but I ignored him. I stuck the key into the lock and then turned it. The key instantly disappeared into the lock before my eyes. I stepped back as the chains began to fade away. I watched as they finally all vanished from sight. I slowly approached the sword. I reached out with my hands and took the handle of the sword.

"Xavier, do you think that is such a good idea?" Asked Flame

"I'm not too sure, but I do need a blade to fight this evil. Plus the key made the chains disappear. Apparently, my mother gave me that key knowing I would use it to unlock this sword. So I know I am somehow destined to pull this sword." I said

I took my hands and gripped the handle of the blade. I slowly pulled on it. Soon I felt it loosen from the stone, and I pulled the sword from the rock. Now I felt when Link pulls the Master Sword from most Legend of Zelda titles. I watched as the area grew dark around me. I turned to see the massive stones in front of me. They each began to crack and exploded open. I held my hands to my face to block the rocks from hurting my face. Once I moved them, I saw demonic creatures all around me. Suddenly a warm light came into the area. I started to hear a female voice, one I had never heard before, speak to me.

"The seals are breaking; only you can stop them."

I watched as the largest demon's foot began to hover over me. It quickly came down to crush me into the ground. I braced for the impact, but soon I was back in the room with Flame. I looked around and then down at the sword. The blade was a nice size and easily looked sharp. I ran my hand across it and felt the power that was inside of it. I looked back at the relief drawing of the armored human figure sealing away the demons. I knew this had to be the sword he was holding.

"You ok Xavier, you seemed to disappeared there for a minute." Said Flame

"I think we are exactly where this great evil will come from," I said

"So you saw something because it looked like you had a vision of some kind." Said Flame

"Yeah, the demonic creatures are freeing themselves from their stone prisons. Then a female voice in a warm light told me that I'm the only one who can stop them," I said

"Well now you got a sword, but we still need to figure out where we are." Said Flame

"Right," I said

I looked at the sword and felt another object in my left hand. I looked to see that it was a sheath for the blade. I slipped it into the sheath and placed it onto my back and placed my coat over it. I then had Flame jump onto my shoulder. We walked through the other door, and it led us out to a forest. The sun was still high in the sky. We looked back, and the stone building was gone. I went up, but the only thing we touched was the air We looked at each other before what was around us. We had no idea which way to go, so we started walking straight. I knew all paths would lead out of the forest.

"Hey, I just thought about something." Said Flame

"What?" I asked

"You need a title now." He said

"A title?" I asked

"Yeah, every hero needs a title. So I made the perfect one. Your title is the Fabled Warrior." Said Flame

"You know that isn't half bad. Xavier Young, the Fabled Warrior," I said

"See has a nice ring to it." Said Flame

I laughed with him and continued to walk. I knew this was where my journey would begin. It was finally time I find out my true destiny, and I felt it was going to be something I would never expect.
