Chapter 1: The Boy in the Ice
The winds on Galvanda were harsh during the moon's winter. The planet's temperate and humble environment orbited the world of Esoripa Prime. The once envious little moon now laughed at Esoripa's once skyscrapper-dominated planet-wide metropolis, which most now lied in ruins, with the world's former natural state beginning to re-assert itself after a thousand years in post-apocolyptic distress. However, Glavanda didn't have a right to brag, as it's cities had also knew the pain of destruction.

In the moon's northern hemisphere, winter was coming. Snow and fog fell from the sky as a group of three sixteen-year-old boys were exploring the icy north, travelling in the ship that belonged to one of the boy's mother. One boy, a Sinomian, wearing appropriate snow-gear raised a pair of hi-tech binoculars. He turned around to face his two partenrs-in-crime, one a Jujuhan, the other a Colloan, both letting their eyes wander the vast landscape. "Hard to believe there's a whole town one-hundred feet below us!" He shouted. The jujuhan looked towards him and spoke in a deep, loud tone. "I feel sorry for the fuckers who lived in that shithole!" He replied. The Sinomian raised the binoculars to his eyes again and after rotating his glance for a short time, he noticed a large spire erupting from cracks in the cold, icy surface. "Joestan!" The boy yelled back at the jujuhan. "I've found something!" Joestan hastilly walked behind him. "What is it, Dannuas?" he replied with a humourous smirk on his face. "Call. Me. Dann!" Dannaus snapped. "You know I hate that name!" Suddenly, the Connoan raised his eye to stare at them, then approached their position. "Ooh, aah, wow!" He said in a sracastic tone. "An icy spire! How fun and fucking ecxiting!" "Shut up, Connous!" Joestan yelled back at him. Connous crossed his arms and looked displeasend. Joestan turned and took the binoculars out of Dannaus' hands. He looke dthrough them and zoomed in on the tattered spire. "There's something inside it! A massive thing and something wrapped into a ball that's glowing! We should check it out!" Connous' face dropped and his arms began to hang loose. The three began their long journey across the frozen wasteland.

After three long hours, Joestan and Dannaus reached the enormous iceberg, with Connous lagging behind, complaining and walking slowly. "Should we wait?" Joestan asked in a soft tone, as he turned to face Dannaus. "Nah." Dannaus replied. "We'd bee here all our lives and my species lives to be a thousand!" Dannaus inspected the clifface of the tower of frost and snow that loomed above him, making the boys seems like specs of dust, as Connous slowly approached the spire.

Dannaus notcied small cracks in the iceberg. he pulled out his two knives and started climing, without consulting Joestan or Connous. "Wait!" Connous gasped under the remains of his breath. "Don't do that! You'll fall and get yourself killed-" Connous paused for a moment as thoughts rushed through his head of what life might be like if dannaus fell. "-never mind! Keep climing!" dannaus was too high up to hear Connous at the bottom.

Dannaus slowly reached the glowing ball, only to realise it wasn't a ball, but a person, with four arms, a long spikey-edged tail and a pincer for a mouth, with two small tusks juts below it. His skin was clearly not one colour, but a mutlitude of colours thata adorned the person's skin. The person in the ice was Ethroptur, with strange tattoos followed his body and branches onto his limbs. He also wore unusual clothing, a style that would suit some kind of monk. The Ethroptur's hooded robe was pure white, with a dark grey leather suit with crenelations, all topped off with a black sash and belt, the belt holding odd and complex dark grey cylendic devices, that had two small and short wire-like paieces of metal. Each one was unique. Dannaus vaguely remembers viewing such clothing and markings in a history book or a museum, but who wore them and why was a mystery to his mind.

He looked up to see an enormous winged lizard, which made Dannaus shake, while finding himself unable to move. the beast looked very ancient. It had a pair of hind leggs and had large tattered wings attached to it's forearms. Horns decorated the back of the creature head and followed it's backbone down to the end of it's tail, which was tipped with a large spike.

Dannaus, unable to move, remained in awe of the humungous ancient animal for a short while, until he lost his balance. He slid down the ice rapidly, gripping his kinves as they followed him, while still clinging onto the cliffface. They left behind huge cracks in the ice, that slowly sperated into different halves of the same whole, as if they despised each other. Ice that parted from both of the dominant shards of harsh, cruel ice follwed Dannaus to the bottom. Dannaus leapt from the iceberg, pursued by the predatory and idependant icicles that saw him, anything, as an enemy. The two halves of the iceberg began to collapse without each other. One fell and crashed with the other, making both shatter into tiny samples of icy debris. A golden beam of light blasted into the air and from their remains of the ice rose the Ethroptur sealed within, stood in the epicentre and the remains of the ice istelf seemed like it watched in admiration. The ethroptur raised his top-right and top-left arms and suddenly, the ice became water, fast and siwft, but chaotic and dangerous. The water follwowed his arms, flowing behind the naturally formed pillar he stood on and when both rose into the air with a upward swing of the Ethroptur's hands they froze together, creating a newer, greater and stronger mound of ice, one so strong it could easily remain balanced and stable. The Ethroptur, after standing upright and silent for five seconds, then fell from the pillar onto the solid icy floor, meeting it with a loud bang.

Joestan slowly approached the body, his leggs knocking together. Dannaus grabbed his arm, but Joestan shook him away and pressed onward. He eventually lifted the Ethroptur's hand and check for a pulse. "He's alive!" He shouted. Connous slowly trod, trying to avoid any cracks in the ice and picking up a stick from a frozen old Giantsky Tree that's highest branches only just stood above the frosty snow and ice. Once Connous came into two feet of Joestan and the Ethroptur, he stopped dead in his tracks, with his mouth frowning every so slightly and his eyes glaring at the four-armed boy, while he hummed to himself. He rose his stick and poked the boy on the head. the boy's eyes opened every so slowly and once fully open, the boy made a swift and small pointing gesture with his hand. A powerful gust of wind blew the stick out of Connous' hands and a mile in the direction in which the boy was pointing. Connous' mouth dropped to the floor as he felt his bladder burst and urine trickle down his trousers, only to freeze in the harsh climate. "Oh, bollocks!" Connous screamed, trying to punch the frozen urine that now left his left leg imobile. "That's what you get for pissing yourself!" Dannaus chuckled. "Oh, shut the fuck up!" Joestan snapped at them both. He turned to look at the boy who had almost become fully aware of his surroundings. The boy's vision returned to normal and he screamed when he saw Joestan. "Gaahh!" he shriekd in a deep voice. "Where am I?" He demanded. He removed one of the odd cylinders from his belt, pressed a small button and a laser-based blade ignited from the hilt. The blade glew a radiant white, with a thin gap running through the middle that split the blade in two and lead to an eight-sided star close to the hilt. The hilt was etched with elequent markings that matched the boy's own.

"Okay- calm down, mate." Joestan tried to sooth the young warrior's firey heart of defiance. "Put the sword away and we can talk. Alright?" Joestan reached his hand to the boy. The boy, after a minute's thought, sheathed his weapon and grabbed Joestan's hand as he flung himself onto his feet. His once defiant and strong demeanour had changed into that of a kindrid spirit, free and peaceful, without a sign of anger, rage or fear. Connous was skeptical at the boy's apparant change in attitude and glared at him. "Are you alright?" Joestan asked after a second of confusion. "Yeah..." The boy said, "and you?" Joestan's face became decorated with a small grinn. "Yeah, I'm fine, although you made me mate over there piss himself!" The boy looked over Joestan's shoulders to see an embarresed Connous glaring at him. The boy chuckled in an innocent tone. "I like you. What's your name?" The boy asked Joestan, who was bursting with a large smile on his face. "Joestan. The blue guy's Dannaus, but you should call him Dann." The boy once agian peered over Joestan's shoulder. "What about the Colloan?" He asked. Joestan tured to Connous and giggled under his breath. "That's crack-pot" Joestan replied. The two started to laugh, as if they were already old friends. "Seriously, his real name's Connous, but we call him Con." The boy's laughter slowly faded away into obscurity. "I'm Andreas, or Andy. Either is fine. And this is-" Andreas' eyes opened widely and periced Joestan's heart, making it beat with incredible speed. "Oh, damn, where is he?" Andreas turned while looking around the barren landscape. He faced the crater that sorrounded the tall icy pillar he once stood on and without warning, took a deep breath and shouted. "Ap-Oh-Sah!" Wind flew out of Andreas' mouth. The powerful gust of wind carried his voice for over a thousand miles, shuddering the very ground the boys stood, until it faded away. Suddenly, a loud booming roar filled the ears of the four and Connous covered his. "My ears are bleeding!" He shouted. Another loud shout met Andreas'. "An-Dre-Yas!" A large beast emerged from the icy crater, carried on the wind of a Tornado, and soared above all who saw, making the world feel small and insignificant. Once again, Connous' mouth dropped to the floor, only this time he was aware of it and casually held it up again. The creature flew majesticlly, with it's large reptillian wings attached to it's forearms and it's leggs tucked into it's body. The beast landed, like a Pterosaur, using it's fingers on it's forearms to grasp the icy surface, while curling it's wings inwards and it's leggs emerged. In front of Andreas it lowered it's grey, scale-covered head, as if to bow. A loud voice eminated from the beast. "Companion and friend, I humble myself to you." The creature said respectfully, without even moving it's mouth. Andreas patted the large dragon-like creature on the head and felt the tusks that dropped from the bottom of it's jaw. One tusk had alarge crack weaving and spiralling into many locations, whereas the other was split in two, the sharped edge lost to the mysts of time. Andreas smiled. "You don't need to do that, Apposah." Andreas replied, rising into a tall posture, standing 5ft 10" off of the floor, beating Dannaus by two inches, yet missing Joestan by four and Connous by one. "If anything I should bow to you." Andreas lowered himself onto his knees and bowed. Apposah moved it's head towards Andreas and muzzled his mouth on his chest; a sign of friendship. Andreas laughed as Apposah used his head to raise Andreas back to his normal height. "What is that thing?" Connous asked, as he stared at the large creature, inspecting the marks that adorned the beast's body, matching Andreas' in every detail, and took a small step backwards. "This is Apposah, my animal companion. He's a Sorvudah. The largest and feircest of his kind and also the most loyal. Don't worry he won't hurt you, he's awsome, like a thousand-year-old monk; old, wise and powerful." Connous lifted his left eyebrow and lowered the right side of his mouth. "Right," Connous began. "and these are Joetsan and Dannaus, my flying Ethropiru and court jesters! Now lets be serious, what is that thing!" Connous felt a sharp snap in the back of his mind and he vaguely smelt burning. "I just told you, he's a Sorvudah! Are your ears filled with wax?" "Sorvudah are extinct!" Dannaus yelled. He looked at Apposah in awe and admiration and deep down felt a warm feeling in his stomach. "I guess the histroy books were wrong..."

In the distance, a thundering roar could be heard. The sound infested the boys' ears; the sound of snow colliding with metal. Joestan uncovered his ears to notice that the sound had faded away into the air, only the loud, cold wind could be heard. Connous also uncovered his ears and tried to remember where the sound came from. He turned to face the direction the three of them traveresed minutes earlier. "The ship!" Connous blerted out into the open. Dannaus' eyes and ears opened. "Crap, fuck, shit, bollocks!" He yelled. Connous' face dropped. "My parents are gonna kill me! I'm not even allowed to drive until next year!" Andreas stared in disbelief. "Well, if you're stuck here, Apposah could give you a ride." Joestan faced Andreas with a friendly smile and Andreas turned to Apposah. "Won't you?" Apposah sturdily remained in his position. "A friend of yours is a friend of mine" Apposah said calmly. "Oh, oh! Sorvudah ride!" Joestan squealed. Connous' stubborn nature took control of his not-so-intelligent mind. "No! We're not riding on that...," Connous angrily pointed at Apposah. "...thing!" Dannaus slapped Connous over the back of the head. "Don't be a whiney bitch!" He shouted at Connous. "Dann, Listen to me!" Dannaus ignored Connous, consciously blocking out his words. Joestan was already climbing onto the saddle on Apposah's back, while Andreas jumoed onto his head. Apposah didn't seem to stress under the weight as both Dannaus and Connous hopped onto his saddle, Connous giving him a sharp glare before jumping onto Apposah's back.

"Ready?" Andreas asked. "Sadly." Connous replied. Andreas turned around to look in the same direction Apposah was facing. "Go!" He shouted, with a large smile on his face. Apposah lifted his grey old wings; wings that beared the marks of many battles. Burns, scratches, cuts and ripps decorated the skin that hung from Apposah's forearms. He flapped his wings twice in agraceful movment, facinating Joestan and Dannaus, Connous mumbling under his breath while frowning. Apposah jumped into the air, attempting to grab the air currents and become one with the air. Suddenly, Apposah's eye splinetered and he let out a loud shriek as he fell to the ground. He truned his head to face his wings. "My wings are damaged. I need rest." He announced calmly. Connous fell back onto the saddle. "Fuck!" He shouted. "Now how will we get home?" Joestand and Dannaus looked at Andreas. Andreas returned the stare while his mind wandered. His face suddenly became full of life. "Where's your ship? We can rest there." He asked. "It's damaged!" Joestan replied. "It will be good for now. Does your ship have a cargo hold?" "Yes, we also call it the Sorvudah storage facility!" Connous screamed sarcasticlly. "Is he always this sracastic?" Andreas asked Joestan. "Unfortunately." Joestan replied with a small grin. Andreas turned and hung from Apposah's horn and the top of his head and looke dinto Apposah's eye. "Looks like you'll need to walk a bit." Apposah nodded and began crawling across the snowy surface. He grabbed the frozen water with his sharp claws on his forearms and pulled forward, his wings following the limbs they were attatched to. His talons on his back feet clasped the ground and kept him steady in his injured state.

The trek took only half and hour. Apposah's strength greatly exeeded Joestan, Dannaus and Connous' strength combined. Eventually, they reaches Connous' parents' starship, that was now partyl covered in snow and was inoperable. The door of the cargo hold was still visible and seemed larged enough to fit Apposah's huge bodyframe. The engines of the ship were also visible, peering out of the slushy ice, just above the cargo hold. "Is there a door that leads to the rest of the interior in the cargo hold?" Andreas asked. "Yes, of course! No one's stupid enough to not put a door leading to the interior from the dargo hold. Are you a retard?" Dannaus sniggered slightly for a few seconds then stopped. "And what's funny about people with retardations?" Andreas asked, with a large scowl on his face. "Retardation cuases a lot of pain and hardship for a lot of families. Maybe you should use your tiny Colloan brain before you use your oversized Colloan mouth next time." There was a long silence and the icy wind blew even stronger. "Open the door." Andreas said quietly. Connous reluctantly leapt off of Apposah's back and trodded through the snow towards the cargo hold door. He punched a code into a small console built into the ship's silver metal frame. The cargo hold door opened and Apposah walked inside. Connous entered a code into another identical console from the cargo hold's interior and the door sealed shut.
