*Editing in Progress*

A group of six humans known as artras are chosen every thirty years to defend a world of magic called Armensia from a great evil, the Seven Dark mages led by Travas (Texan is only his brother.) One might have just called them summoned heroes.

Kevin, the most powerful of the artras also referred to as the Siege, must find a way to defeat him and end this cycle that has raged on for nearly eight hundred years, but so many things stand in their way. (not to mention their unfathomable inexperience) Worst of all, the artras' long history is finally catching up to them.

Kevin Johnson, an ordinary kid making it to his first day of high school suddenly finds his life upside down when his destiny to become one of the six artras is revealed to him.

He is plunged into a life he didn't even know possible. Secrets revolve around everything concerning his seemingly uneventful childhood and even more uncertain future...

The fate of the world is at stake and a lot stands in the way of him and his friends, 'You can always count on moving forward, right? Even though forward is straight into the mouth of a dragon or the bottom of a volcano...'

"How rude of me? I am Texan of the Seven Dark mages. And it is I who controls the Great White Wolf, but you can call it Black now," he spoke smirking for a dark dramatic flair, "Without your dragon, the Elder Dragon Ellimir, the six of you don't even stand a chance against us. I don't even see a point to fighting such amateurs."

"So what? You came to fight a one-eyed man," I yelled back at him as it was all I could do to keep him from noticing my shaken state.

"We shall meet again soon, Siege. And when we do, you shall then know the true extent of my power," he said darkly before vanishing in a swirl of grey smoke.

Time resumed and motion returned to normal. My head was buzzing with so many questions that I left my legs in auto-pilot and was sent into a daze, walking back to wherever it was I did after lunch.

Artras

"Why didn't you ever mention it?" I asked him after giving it some thought.

"I was driven by ambition. I loved my work… and besides, there was nothing much I could do here in Armenville. The Winters family is the least popular of the five houses which is why you can't see many relatives in this big house. They come around once in a while, but only to leave soon enough. The mistake that was made by our ancestors cast a shadow over us and yet, we are the ones that are supposed to lead the artras," he said, chuckling, "harsh world. I guess a story can pave things the way it's meant to."

"Dad, let's try getting back to the point here."
