Chapter 1: Getting the game.

Our story begins with ten friends. They were sitting around in a coffee shop talking amongst themselves. The friends varied in age from twenty nine to twenty one. The oldest a few months past twenty nine and the youngest a few weeks past twenty one. The group consisted of six boys and four girls. The boys were arrayed on one side of the table the girls on the other. The oldest amongst the boys was twenty nine, the oldest among the girls twenty seven. The oldest boy had long black hair held back in a ponytail, blue eyes, a cut on his left cheek that had scarred over, was wearing blue wraparound sunglasses, a red t shirt, beige board shorts, and sneakers. His name was Terry Sequoia. Terry stood at a short five foot three, and had an effeminate face that the scar showed off even more, he'd be what the Japanese called a bishounen.

To Terry's left was a young man who stood at five foot nine, had short blonde hair, green eyes, a scar over the left side of his face that looked like bite marks, which they were bite marks from a dog attack when he was a kid, and a light tan. He was wearing prescription sunglasses, a black t shirt with a red flame on it, blue jeans, black sneakers, and a red watch. His eyes were closed and his head was leaned back as the others talked. His name is Jay, "Shadow", Ookami and he is twenty six. To Jay's left was Li Nera. Li was a young man of oriental descent with white hair, brown eyes, a slim jawline, and stood at five foot five inches tall. He was wearing a blue button up, brown pants, white socks, and wooden ghetta, or clogs. He also had his hair tied back into a small ponytail at the neck, and a tattoo of a flower on his right bicep. Li is twenty five.

On Terry's right, was a young man of Spanish and English descent, with blue eyes, brown hair that was spike up, and a tattoo of a snarling panther going up his right arm with the head by his hand. His name is Miguel Leo. Miguel had a sharp jawline, darkly tanned skin, was wearing a sleeveless red tank top, and cargo pants. On his feet he had a pair of blue flip flops and Miguel is twenty three. To Miguel's right was Shen Dai. Shen was actually of Italian descent, but his parents had fallen in love with a character of the same name from a movie and named him after it. He was twenty one, had grey eyes, platinum blonde hair, was wearing a white t shirt, ripped up jeans, and white dress shoes, making for a mismatched outfit but that's how he liked it. Shen had a tattoo of the kanji for life under his left eye and piercings in both ears. Shen was leaning forward trying to make a point.

To Shen's left was our final male member of this story, for now, Michael Vane. Michael was a young Frenchman with heterochromia in his eyes. His left was blue and the right was green. He was wearing a green shirt, black shorts, red sneakers, and a headband that pulled his hair out of his face. He was wearing a black sports watch on his right wrist and a blue wristband on his left. He had his hands in his pockets leaning back in his chair humming softly.

The girls, or those that are girls at the start of our story anyway are across from the boys. The four of them were talking about getting a board game or something. They were arrayed from shortest to tallest going left to right from the boys view. On the far left was the six foot amazonian princess with tan skin, grey eyes, and blue dyed hair, Shiara Dawn. She was wearing a leather crop top and skirt combo with sandals, her toes and fingers painted dark blue like her hair and her left hand having a ring around her pinkie finger. She was the most vocal about getting a game out of the girls. Her right arm had a tattoo of an eastern dragon with the head at her wrist and the tail curling around her shoulder. Her chest fit her build and was a solid E cup. To her right was Anabel Harris, a five foot nine blonde bombshell. Anabel had an F cup chest, green eyes that seemed to see into your soul, long lashes, a pony tail, her ears pierced with small studs, and a small nose ring, and was wearing a red belly exposing tee, blue jeans, white sneakers, and a bangle on her left wrist.

Next to Anabel, and on the other side from Shiara, was the five foot three ravenette Sonya Andrews. Sonya had red eyes, that everyone thought made her look like an albino despite the black hair, pale skin, black painted nails, a studded choker, a pierced lip, and a hairband keeping her long hair out of her face. She was wearing a black shirt with a red skull on it, a dark blue skirt, and brown combat boots. To her left was the five foot tall Izzy Melisande. Izzy had brunette hair, brown eyes, a mocha complexion, blue painted fingernails and red painted toe nails, ankle bangles and a watch, and her clothes were a simple blue sun dress. She was also wearing blue sunglasses that hid her light sensitive eyes.

With the beginning cast introduced, let's take a look at the conversation shall we?

Izzy looked up from her drink and said "Alright let's have a vote on what we should do, stay at the beach, get a board game, or go to the movies. Those in favor of staying at the beach raise your right hand." Izzy, Michael, and Anabel raised their hands. She continued "Three of us then, alright hose in favor of a board game raise your right hand." Shadow, Shiara, Shen, Sonya, and Li raised their hands. Izzy sighed and said "I guess that means only Terry and Miguel want to go the movies. Alright so what game should we play?"

Jay smirked and said "Why don't we check out that magic shop in town and see if they have anything interesting." Anabel grinned and nodded the others shrugging noncommittally and only Michael muttering about it being best to not tempt fate. Jay grinned and said "Alright then me and Anabel will go get a game, you guys wait at whoever has the largest apartment, which I think is Shiara's."

Everyone nodded and Shiara said "Yeah I have a three bedroom flat that I own all by my lonesome cause my roommates moved out when they finished their classes. I can afford it but maybe one of you guys would like to move in with me/" Everyone else shrugged at that and she said "Ah well, we'll see you and Anabel when you get the game, Jay." Jay nodded and got up grabbing his keys, then he and Anabel walked to his car and drove to the local magic shop. Jay firmly believed magic was real, like Michael, but he didn't think it was all that dangerous. Oh how naive the poor boy was.

While Jay and Anabel drove off the girls all got into a car together, since Shiara had driven them there, and the boys got into their vehicles then drove to Shiara's place to wait for the two.

While the rest of the gang was at Shiara's Jay and Anabel were pulling up in front of the magic shop called "Lady Mystique's Magic and Curios." Jay grinned and said "This place is so awesome, she actually sold me some tarot cards that really worked." Anabel giggled not believing him but knowing his love of the occult she figured he'd put to much faith into the cards and saw magic where there was none. Jay walked into the shop with Anabel hot on his heels her hair coming out of her ponytail as she ran her hands through it then he walked up to the counter and rang the bell.

A voice came from the back saying "Hold on, hold on, I'm coming." Jay grinned while Anabel sighed and leaned on a nearby shelf making sure not to knock anything over. An elderly woman with gray hair, tan skin, and brown eyes walked out from the back. She was about five feet five inches tall and had a shawl around her shoulders as well as a beige dress and sandals. She smiled and said "Ah young Ookami. What can I do for you today, another hair loss potion for an enemy or something more benign?"

Jay grinned and said "Hello Cynthia, I'm looking for a game for me and my friends. Preferably something that will change our lives but not destroy things as long as we play by the rules. You have anything in the back that would be good?"

Cynthia blinked and said "A game, I have two or three of those depending on if you want one with potions, obscure rules, or something straight forward."

Jay grinned and said "Potions preferred, but not necessary. Straight forward over vague, and hopefully no demonic rituals this time not like that game you sold Lexus that he nearly got possessed by." She sighed and he said "I know you were very specific on the instructions but Lexus isn't known for listening it's why I banned him from the shop without someone's supervision. Not that he's part of the group I'm hanging out with. I remember your rules. Rule 1, Magic is not a toy, even if it's part of a game or something it can still be deadly. Rule 2, Always follow the rules of whatever magic you are using. Finally Rule 3, no refunds and all transfers are unable to be held accountable by the shop."

She nodded and said "So long as you remember the rules I can get you the game. How about a simple game I like to call Potions and Magic?" Jay raised an eyebrow and motioned for her to go on. She giggled and said "Well my dear young man Potions and magic is a game where you roll a die and try to get your piece to the end of the board without falling into the traps of the magic or letting the potions corrupt your soul. The potions wear off the moment the game is over but the profits can be from immeasurable to hard to trust. There is nothing demonic about it, unless you land on the demon spaces, and the potions are only used if you land on certain spaces. It comes with the potions premade. If you're interested I'll sell it to you for fifty dollars and a promise to come back to the store with the story of how the game works and who won."

Jay nodded and said "You got a deal." He laid the fifty on the table as the old woman went back to get the game and said "What's the actual name of the game?"

The elderly woman laughed and said "Mystics, Potioneers, and Demonic summoning, a game of magic most wonderful." She came back with a large box in her arms that wouldn't have looked out of place on an old pirate ship. Jay took it and glanced at Anabel who was studying him carefully and Cynthia said "Tell me who's wish comes true. And young lady, be careful what piece you choose for your piece affects your destiny." Anabel blinked and shivered at that while Jay just grinned already knowing that he'd pick a piece that fit who he was. He knew the game wasn't premade and custom made itself to the players with blank pieces and what not because he'd remembered Cynthia telling Lexus before he bought the game "Demons and Dungeons", like a damn fool.

Jay stretched and carried the game to his car then laid it in the back seat as Anabel got in the passenger seat and drove to Shiara's. When they arrived everyone was in the back playing in the pool and drinking. Jay walked up with the game and said "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!!" They all cheered except Anabel and Michael, Michael because he knew how real magic was, and Anabel because she was starting to believe after all the crap Jay had talked about. Jay grinned and said "I'm going to open up the game in the living room and then you guys can join me. Remember that this game customizes itself to the players. All that said I hope you're ready for a game of a lifetime that could make your dreams come true."

Jay walked into the living room and set it on the floor where everyone joined him watching as he started to open the box. The box billowed out smoke and from it a voice said "Speak thy names and designations to begin the game. Your piece will represent your soul. Know that for every obstacle there is a way around it, and for every curse there is a counter spell."

Jay grinned and said "Jay, Shadow, Ookami, Ranger of Shadows."

Michael was next saying "Michael Vane, Mage of Light."

Miguel followed Michael saying "Miguel Leo, Soul Gunner."

Anabel was next saying "Anabel Harris, Druid of the Moon."

Shiara was next following the pattern of the others saying "Shiara Dawn, the Sun's Priestess."

Following Shiara was Sonya Andrews, saying "Sonya Andrews, Magus of Mystics."

Shen was after Sonya saying "Shen Dai, Earth's berserker."

Terry Sequoia, followed Shen saying "Water's assassin Terry Sequoia."

Next up was Li Nera saying "Li Nera, Air's arms master."

Finally was Izzy Melisande finishing things off with "Izzy Melisande, Fire's champion."

The game said "Your choices made, your souls take form. Now grab your token and recite the opening chant, 'In the name of the elements the compact is set, until the game is finished I will not reveal my role, I will not turn back, and I will play on. Should I win I will be humble in victory, should I lose I will be gracious in defeat, may the potions and magic give me strength and the blessings of the soul be upon me."

They each recited the chant then the box fell apart to reveal a huge game board with multiple lands, maps, dungeons, and more. A rack of potions materialized at the edge of the game board and a deck of cards resided in the middle of the board where anyone could reach them. The player's pieces were all at the point that said start. The game said "Touch thy piece to seal the compact." Jay was the first to grab his piece feeling a hand gripping him then vanished only to reappear wearing a black cloak, black pants, a red tunic, and a pair of blades on his back with a quiver at his hip and a bow over his left shoulder. The others stared at him in fascination before grabbing their own tokens. The game said "To pause the game and return to the land of mortals each player must reach a safe zone. Once you've reached the safe zone know that your avatar will sleep as your human form awakens. Whenever you are ready, throw the dice, The ranger of shadows goes first." Jay grinned looking at everyone.

Michael was wearing a white robe with holy symbols all over it, and had a staff in his hands. Miguel was wearing an old western outfit with a simple in yang symbol on his guns at his hips and on his shirt's back. Anabel was wearing a tunic and breeches with the phases of the moon all over them and her eyes had turned a startling silver. Shiara was wearing a bright gold robe with sun motifs on it including a solar eclipse shading her bosom. Sonya was wearing a robe similar to Michael but it was dark red with symbols associated with magic all over it and she had an orb in her left hand and a spell book in her right. Shen was next wearing a dark green open tunic and brown pants with bare feet and a berserker's hammer at his side.

Terry was wearing a cloak, the hood up and shading his face, brown boots that didn't make a sound, black pants, and a black undershirt, the cloak itself being dark brown almost black. Izzy was wearing a mantle like a champion would. Her hair had turned dark red, her eyes bright orange, her clothing was colored like a blue flame the mantle on her shoulder's bright yellow and showing a flame motif. Finally we have Li wearing all sorts of weapons over a blue tunic and pants, with black boots and all of them looked at themselves then grinned.

With that done Jay said "Everyone ready to begin?" The gang nodded and he said "Then it's time to roll the dice." He threw the dice and everyone watched as they rolled along the ground before coming to a stop.
