The Boy and the Girl

It has been said that each of us has a journey. This is the journey of the Boy and the Girl.In Greenplant Village, in the land of Sydo, there lived a young couple named James and Jackie, who called each other the Boy and the Girl. A week after they first came together, she was abducted from inside her home in the middle of the night by a poisonous monster named Agganis. She kicked its head in, and it angrily responded by magically trapping her inside a blue diamond, restraining her movement. It then flew itself with the blue diamond back to its black stone castle in the dark land of Mallad, where she would live as its servant.No human in planet Aroloft appeared mighty enough to take on the monster. James, the Boy, took the task upon himself to undertake a magnificent travel all throughout the planet Aroloft to follow the trail of venomous black slime that the monster was leaving behind itself at all times. He vowed to follow the trail all the way to its end, even if it meant venturing into the dark land of Mallad to defeat Agganis, shatter the diamond she was trapped inside, and bring her back home. By learning to awaken his seven chakras he was able to take control of magic energy and complete his journey. With much faith in God, he refused to let evil win over good.
