In the Smokey mountains of Tennessee nestled out of the way of any big city's and towns a man resides alone with no family and no more friends to look to.
A broken man siting on his porch
Victor James Thomas ex Delta Force operative of 8 years of his military career.
Stews on his porch with a hefty glass of Jack Daniels and massive amounts of regrets.
A man who's last mission with the US Army ended with entire platoon lost many civilians killed and the speaker of the house's daughter killed in a foreign country.
Victor swirling his glass of whiskey deep in thought seeing the horrible images of those he failed to save and protect!
Victor takes a sip of his whiskey replaying that mission over and over! He looks up at the sky holding back the tears of his frustrations!
God damnit, Good damnit!
Why didn't I just split the team to cover the rear! Fuck that wouldn't have worked either!
Victor's anger riseing because he can't think of what he could have done to make a difference in a very complicated situation!
He all of sudden hears the chime of his satellite phone ringing with the aggravating ringtone that reminding him of Jurassic Park 3. He stands from his chair and walks over to the oversized phone with the frustrating ringtone and picks it up with a scale on his face!
Hello?
The hell you want?
A man on the other line chuckles at Victor's annoyance in response with a sarcastic response!
O aren't we cranky today! Did I interrupt you're brooding there V?
With anger and sarcasm Victor responds back
Shut your mouth agent Carlson. I'd much rather you tell me why you're calling me.
Do you spooks get off on bothering an ex SF operative? Or is it because it's me on the other line?
Carlson responds back with a fake hurt tone!
O my old friend don't be like that! Now I had to call you about the massive amounts of military hardware that was currently delivered to your house!
Victor looks to the drive way and sees the two large trailers full of ammunition weapons explosives and survival gear. Next to them is a military JLTV with a 50 caliber browning and 9,000 rounds 50 caliber ammo and 4 Carl Gustavs, 7 stingers and 1 javelin with enough missiles to fight a small war!
Yah I got a couple gizmos and gadgets here and there if you guys had a problem with it you would have stoped me from obtaining such things to begin with!
Victor hears chucks from the other side of the line.
Yes well we are looking the other way but I also wanted to call to let you know that no one holds you accountable for your last mission. So why don't you come to DC and we can get you a job working for us at the CIA?
Victor looks at the phone and with out a word cuts the call knowing damn well that it had to be those damn spooks that set him up with bad Intel and set up that mission to fail.
He put his hand over his face!
Victor knows that the CIA made him there scapegoat for being the only survivor.
In a FUBAR mission with bad Intel.
However he can't think of a reason why they would set him and his team to fail so badly. Especially when the United States and China are currently in a Cold war.
Getting frustrated he scratches at the top of his head tasseling his short brown hair!
Victor closes his eyes and takes a deep breath and starts to walk back to his chair and grabbed his glass of whiskey downing the glass and poors himself another glass taking another sip. Taking a deep breath as he looks up at the orange Hugh of the the sky as sunset starts.
God damnit why couldn't I figure out how to stop that from happening? How ever nothing came to his mind no plans no idea's just nothing.
He closed his eyes and opened them sharply. Victor stood up and walked to the two large trailers and open them both where he proceeded to empty the rest of the trailers.
By midnight both large trailers where empty and with a pull of a chain to the large garage door closes with the JLTV in the connected Barn garage to the rest of his one story house.
Victor knew that the call from agent Carlson was not a wellness check up but a clear ultimatum for him to come under their influence. Victor knows the CIA isn't always full of good intentions and they do see him as a threat of some sort.
Fuck you Carlson never going to get me under your thumb you fucking prick!
Right at that moment he can hear a passing jet fly by and his eyes go wide in distress!
O fuck!
A bright light covers his vision and the only thing he hears is few words in a very feminate voice before he loses consciousness.
You will not die here honorable warrior of Earth you still have a destiny ahead of you a path that you still need to tread. Your skills abilities and those values you hold dear are needed elsewhere. Your second chance starts now!
The world of Eden a world of magic and wonder. A world where many races reside.

How ever little dose she know that her and her family's lives and the lives of those in the kingdom she resides in are going to be given a ride for there lives US style!
A cool morning breeze rushes through the window of Charlotte's window. The young girl slowly waking up with the sound of songbirds welcoming the new day! To her annoyance she can also hear her older brother's hawk wyvern with it's horrific screeching in the distance.
Charlotte slowly starts to sit up rubbing her eyes and she hears a knock at her door!
With a grone she answers!
Come in!
With a click the door it opens and a young woman enters Charlotte's room!
Young mess time to wake up you'll be starting at the academy today!
Charlotte with her eyes still closed growns out uncomprehensible words and the with half lided eyes she clears her throat and speaks out clearly!
I'm awake Shayla thank you!
At that moment Charlotte hears another annoying screech from the hawk wyvern!
With a slight annoyance on her face she looks to Shayla!
What is older brother and his noisy lizard bird doing? Shayla giggles at her young misses words agitation! As Shayla grabs her charges academy uniform she explains to Charlotte what's her old brother is up too this early in the morning.
Young masters Julian is currently training his hawk wyvern for games that are coming up in the next 6 mouth.
How ever young mistress Tara is currently downstairs eating breakfast with the mistress both are waiting for you young Miss!
Charlotte closes her eyes and takes a deep yawn and rubbing out the rest of the sleep out of her eyes!
Ok well I guess I should get dressed then.
Charlotte looks over to a small little painting on the night stand next her bed of her deceased father. Charlotte gives a small sad smile and turns to Shayla with a beaming smile!
Ok can you please help me get dressed?
Shayla with a knowing smile nods and grabs the new uniform that Charlotte will be wearing for her first day at the Celestia academy with both her older brother and older sister also going!
After 15 minutes of getting dressed and having her hair brushed and set into a braid Charlotte makes her way downstairs for breakfast!
As she gets close to the dinning room she hears her mother, sister and her brother talking about her and her first day of the academy! Charlotte takes a deep breath and opens the door to the dinning room and walks in. Her mother Heather knighthawk the countless of the high high lands of Celestia kingdom stood up a swiftly made her way to her youngest daughter giving her a hug and a kiss to the top of her head!
Good morning my little moonbean!
A nickname that Charlotte received from her mother. Being as she's the only child of the nighthawk family that shares the same hair color as her mother a deep silver while her older brother and older sister received their father's hair color a dark brown!
Good morning mother good morning big sister good morning big brother!
With wide smiles both Julian and Tara say good morning to there little sister.
As a small family sits around the dining room table eating their breakfast and talking about their day ahead Charlotte's mother Heather asks her be very surprising question.
Moonbean will you summon familiar to help you through your day to day tasks?
Charlotte stops eating putting down her fork and with a nervous look on her face answers her mother fingers poking at one another.
I don't know Mommy I'm still having trouble controlling my magic. I'm afraid if I try that I'm going to fail all over again.
At that moment a beautiful silver cat hopes up on the table and walks over to Heather meowing at her. Heather smiles at her little familiar and points to Charlotte. As the silver cat follows Heather's finger and see Charlotte hit meows and scampers over the Charlotte! With a meow and a little hop into Charlotte's lap curls up and purse contently!
Charlotte smiles and Pats the silver cat.
Heather smiles at her youngest daughter knowing that the young girl has been trying to get herself a familiar before she went to the academy. Heather takes a deep breath and puts on a beautiful smile and calls out to Charlotte.
My little moonbean you must have confidence in yourself dear.
When it is time for you to summon a companion for yourself you will have one that will have one I promise.
Charlotte nod shiley as her older sister Tara comes up to her side and kneels down next to her putting her forehead on the side of Charlotte's Temple.
Mother is right my dear baby sister and I am here to help you when you need it!
At that moment a black and gold striped cobra slither is out of Tara's academy uniform jacket sleeve and coils around Charlotte's neck loosely pressing the side of its head to Charlotte's.
Julian stands up and walks to Charlotte's other side his hawk wyvern landing on the back of Charlotte's chair.
Sister is right while you're at the academy always make sure to come find one of us if you need us. And if you have trouble summoning are you familiar again today. Me and you can go and from a contract with a creature of the forest.
Charlotte with her heart warm with love smiles happily no matter what her family will always be by her side to help her out when she needs it.
Charlotte looks to her older brother and gives him an angelic smile.
Ok big brother I'll hold you to it!
Julian chuckles and pokes Charlotte's cheek playfully!
I promise my dear little sister!
Charlotte giggles at her older brother poking your cheek!
Heather pulls out a pocket watch from a vest pocket to see the time and claps her hands!
Ok my loves it's time for all of you to start making your way to the academy. Julian darling will you walk your little sister to her first class? Tara dear I know your assisting professor Lillian today. I know you can't show favoritism towards your sister but please make sure the helper out okay?
Both Tara and Julian smile at their mother and respond at the same time!
Yes mother!
The three walk out of the mansion with their mother holding Charlotte's hand heading towards the carriage.
Heather squeezes Charlotte's hand and kneels down to Charlotte's eye level.
Both Charlotte and Heather staring into each other's eyes both having the same eye color a deep ocean blue. Heather putting a strand of Charlotte's beautiful silver hair behind the right ear cupping her cheek.
Have a great day at the academy my love .
When you get back home tonight I want you to tell me all about it.
Charlotte smiles at her mother and nods to her happily.
Yes Mommy I will be back home later and I will succeed in summing myself familiar worthy of our family name.
Heather smiles and kisses her youngest on the cheek and stands up holding out her hands to both her eldest children.
The two grabbing her hands as Julian kisses his mother's hand and Tara squeezing the other.
My loves have a good day as well and come home safe and protect your sister.
The two smile at there mother and both respond at the same time.
We will mother love you!
As the three siblings enter the carriage The Coachman Spurs though two horses on in the direction of the academy!
Heather waving to the carriage as it makes its way down the road and out of sight.
Heather size out deeply as the head made Magenta walks up behind her with a knowing smile.
My lady the three will return safely and young Miss Charlotte will succeed in summoning a familiar.
Heather with a smile smile nods and turns to Magenta with tears in her eyes.
I know it was hard watching all my babies leave me at home. It's always watching the other two leave but now my little moonbean is now leaving as well. Those three are getting too big I miss the days when they were little Muppets.
Magenta chuckles at her mistresses overprotective motherliness.
Yes my lady and the day will come when master Julian will bring back a potential partner for as well.
Magenta holding back a laugh as Heather narrows her ocean blue eyes at her holding up one finger.
My baby boy is not going to get married anytime soon!
Heather turns and makes her way back to the mansion ready to get her work day started.
Magenta giggles in response back to her mistress!
Yes yes my lady what ever you say!
Victor standing in a black space the only light is a 5 ft circle around him.
Looking around trying to remember what just happened the only thing he remembers was hearing a jet flying over his little compound and an explosion!
Victor looks down at himself and sees that he's wearing his old army combat uniform is kevlar best and ammo rig and his custom m4 hanging from his chest. He looks to his right leg and sees his 1911 custom sitting at his right thigh and it's holster. He feels to his left and sees that his combat knife is also attached in it's sheath on his left hip.
He feels up to his left shoulder and notices that the straps of his tactical bag is also attached to his back.
He then looks back around trying to figure out why he's in his combat uniform.
Victor decides to call out to see if anyone would respond!
Ummm hello is anyone around here?
1 second 2 seconds 3 seconds pass waits a bit longer till 2 mins goes by and Victor sighs out loud.
Ok well that wasn't completely unexpected but still very disappointing.
However right at that moment a radiant feminate voice calls out to Victor!
Hello Victor James Thomas or would you prefer to be called major Thomas instead?
Victor caught off guard and rifle unhooked from its position on his chest pointing out in every direction ready to fire!
He hears that radiant voice giggle at his reaction! As the voice calls out again!
Oh my dear Victor you have nothing to fear so just relax and I will explain everything!
Victor swallows the saliva in his mouth with an audible gulp rifle still clinched close to his right shoulder as he clears his throat and asks.
Ok well how about you explain where I am and am I dead?
Victor hears another chiming giggle coming from the dark space around him!
The voice who's quiet for just a moment and answers the questions he has asked.
No dear you aren't dead and you are in the a space of my creation.
First let me explain to you the role you will be taking on from this point onward.
Victor nods wordlessly amd lowering his rifle and hooking it back to his chest. Poor man still very confused and just wants answers.
The voice responds to Victor's actions and response.
Well my dear I have taken you from your realm and you will be sent to the world of Eden!
Victor a bit dumbfounded at that isn't sure how to respond.
Victor gathers his thoughts and closes his eyes trying to take a deep breath however when he releases that breath it comes out shaky. His nerves shot.
Okay well ummm what is this world Eden and I have to ask why me and who are you?
The radiant voice giggles once again at all the questions coming at once!
Okay okay calm down my dear I'll explain everything. However I guess I should tell you my name. You may call me Lindra the goddess of fertility, life ,death, rebirth, and heroism.
I have chosen you Major Victor James Thomas of the United States as the hero that will have a hand to help save the world of Eden.
Victor still not sure how to react to such a response and ask Lindra.
And how in the hell do you expect me to do that?
Lindra stay silent for a moment and responded
Well dear I know you where and are the best of the best the mission that you lost your team and the ment others that day was not your fault.
However you have beat yourself up and blamed yourself long enough it is time for you to forgive yourself and have a second chance and maybe this time find something that you didn't know you were looking for!
Victor still confused at Lindra's words thinks of his response.
Ok so why do I have my uniform and some gear that I lose the rest of my stuff after the bombing.
Lindra response currently in much enthusiasm.
O no dear all your weapons and what you would call ammunition and that giant vehicle are all safe you'll have the ability to access them at any time but with limits.
If you can look at your right wrist you'll see a bracelet and has all your weapons ammo other gear I even went ahead and added more ammunition and things you may need.
Victor nods slowly still not sure how to feel about she had said. Unfortunately my dear it's almost time for you to meet the one you will serve.
Victor cocked an eyebrow at the dark space in front of him with one last question.
The hell you mean serve?
What are you talking about about?
Lindra giggles again and response.
You will see my dear you will see I wish you luck on your endeavors and when the time is right I will talk with you again.
Victor holding up both hands to stop Lindra from leaving till a bright light flashes and lights up the darkness.
There in front of him he see a woman with 6 angelic links a pure White toga, Long white hair passed her hips and ruby red eyes staring at him.
My dear Victor it's time to go till next time now just walk throw that gate you will know who your summoner is at first sight.
Victor looks around looking for a gate then looks at the woman and walks today her.
What gate are you talking abou....
Right at that moment a shining gate appears in his path.
Victor looks at the gate and then looks around and responds.
Ok I will play your games for now I would like to ask you questions later when we speak again.
Victor takes a deep breath and walks into the gate.
