The people were celebrating in full swing. The entire village gathers the music filling the air.
After a while Rivaan's grandfather called him by sign, he took rivaan to the house and took him inside. Said wait, I will be back, after a while he brought a small chest which has ancient engravings.
It's time, his grandfather said, holding out a strange glove. It was made of leather but its echo was different with a faintly glowing compass embedd on the back?
This is the Life Glove. It will guide you when time is right.
Rivaan frowned. The compass isn't working.
His grandfather smiled sadly. It will, when you need it the most.
Before Rivaan could ask more, a loud roar of laughter and music erupted from outside. But further in distance... a darker sound grew.
On the edge of the village, the Lunetra Clan was going.
Earlier that day, they had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of warriors. from another land. Enraged and humiliated commander's fury burned.
They spotted the village celebrating.
Burn it down the commander ordered coldly. Punish them all.
Like a storm, Lunetra soldiers charged in, House set ablaze, Women and children beaten, some men executed. A scream of terror filled the night.
Rivaan heard the cries.
He ran outside. His eyes widened in horror. A young girl screamed as a Lunetra soldier raised his sword to strike.
With a single, power kick, he sent the soldier flying backwards. The girl clutched his arm.
More soldiers rushed, Rivaan grabbed a fallen sword and took a stance. He had never fought real warriors before-but today, there was no choice.
steel clashed against steel as Rivaan dodged, blacked and struck back
But then.. The commander from the back tries to stab rivaan, he stepped the moment he did, everything stopped.
A pressure of echo burst unlike any-thing commander soldier and Rivaan felt filled the air. Soldiers froze in place their heart skipping a beat.
The presence beyond human - a monstrous aura that made even the Lunetra warrior's tremble.
The commander turned, his eyes narrowing.
An old man walked forward, holding a rusted sword
At first, the commander dismissed him. Just an old fool
But then...
The rusted sword shimmered. The rust peeled away like dust in the wind, revealing a blade of pure silver double-edged, deadly.
And then-
A shock wave of echo pressure burst forth. A force so overwhelming that the very ground shook
The commander's eyes widened in disbelief,He knew that sword.
No... it can't be.
The legendary Jaeger
The man once known as Wrathborn!
And that man stood before him now- Rivaan's grandfather-Virat.
The old man closed his eyes
And in the blink of an eye-fifty soldier's fell
No one saw the move nor strikes.
One moment, the soldiers stood. The next their head's hit the ground
The commander trembled. Impossible Rivaan's grandfather turned to him. Run Rivaan. Now
But....
Go! His voice shook the air with power.
The commander noticed Rivaan's glove- his eyes darkened.
Capture the boy! he ordered.
Rivaan turned and ran.
Through the burning village, into the jungle Rivaan dan with all his strength.
But Lunetra soldiers surrounded him. He clenched his fist's ready to fight Then-
Then-...
A deafening screech tore through the sky.
The soldier froze in fear as a massive shadow loomed over head.
A Griffith.
The beast descended with fury, it's talon's tearing through soldiers, it breaks beak snapping bone like twigs.
Rivaan stared in shock.
Griffith turned to him. It's eyes they were intelligent .
It lowered his body as if offering a ride.
Rivaan hesitated - then leaped onto his back.
Where are you taking me?! he shouted. Griffith spread its wings and they soared into the sky.
