Chapter 1 - Company

Many years pass since Krillin has Stayed in this cave. The reason for that is because he defeated a goblin leader and withing the body was a gem so Krillin took it.

Before he was abke to exit the dungeon where he entered prior he passed out and during this time the Gem activated and froze his heart and blood in time and created a new found magic to flow through his body as a replacement inevitable giving Krillin Immortality.

Now back to present. Krillin in keying on his back on the cold damp cave stone ground staring at the dripping water landing next to his head.

He was in a trance after being alone For So many years. He has forgot the concept of time, The feeling of the sunlight shining upon his body, The feeling of having a laugh and a conversation with somebody close to him.

During this trance in mind flicks back to all the memories of his previous long lost friends and family before he gained this immortality.

When Krillin First realised he had immortality he was happy and loved the though of living forever.

But as time went on and he saw his family and friends grow old and pass away whilst he remained the exact same seriously hurt him and He soon realised it was a curse.

Kevin's trance is broken by the sound of footsteps.

He sits up and quickly stands as shadows appear from the flickering torch he made on the wall. The shadows enlarge with each footstep until two young girls come around the corner.

They look around early twenties. There is a tall women with long black hair down to the middle of her back. Her skin is a light brown and she is wearing a what looks like a green top with a long black skirt accompanied with flat black shoes.

The other girl has a beautiful shade of ginger hair that is short around the middle of her neck around her ears. She is a little bit smaller than the black haired girl. Her skin is very white almost like milk followed with some freckles. She is dressed in a black and yellow dress with orange flat shoes.

They stop, dripping wet. "Ugh, why did it have to rain", The orange haired girl did clearly not please. They both look over at Krillin who is auprised and a little scared of there company.
