Prologue
We are known as the devil minions.
Four powerful creatures with the ability to squash a human like a fly. We carry out work the People has long but forgotten. Now, the work is simply a scary tale to put children to bed. But for us, it's our life.
The world has changed a lot since the Olden Times. I call them that, but some refer to it as "The Time of The Devil" or "Time of Bones". To me and my companions, it was the best time that ever happened to Earth. But, like I said, a lot has changed.
It's 2980. The world ran out of petrol and other fossil fuels a long time ago. We have adapted. If you read this, you'll think you would be looking at the past, rather the future. Everyone deiced that going back in time was the best way to move forward.
They cut all technical supplies, leaving us to adapt. Many just killed themselves with lack of technology to support them. The remaining that survived the "loss" changed their needs quickly.
The Time of Bones happened at around 2770. The world was close to dying. All over the world, they either had a famine or a flood, or earthquake or whatever other huge dangerous things there could be involving weather.
To make matters worse, an evil leader rose to power. He called himself "Dante" or the Devil. He killed of more people than the famines or floods did. He wrote of books concerning all the deeds he wanted done when he died. And, in 2800, he died.
We, the Devil's minions, have set out on our journey to complete the deeds so many have forgotten. We worship what Dante did, and hopefully, we can find the right things to bring him back to life.
Chapter one: New times have dawned
The city of Nadu is, frankly, neglected. We are located dead center of a desert. We get the familiar sand storms nearly every week.
The Government, yes unfortunately we still have one, doesn't even know Nadu still thrives. We live, undetected by anyone. The city itself has only three hundred people living in it, and slowly decreasing each day.
I've always despised the Government for not looking after dying people. I hate the Government. When I was a child, and didn't know about not been known to anyone Nadu still reigns, I hated the Government for simple reasons; not building a proper school, not sending in supplies, not helping out with the dying Nadu people.
My spark of hatred for the Government was what ended me up fighting them, doing out deeds the Devil himself wanted. I was only twelve when I joined my life of crime seeking. Me and my friends, Ne-Yo, Savannah and Blake had been best friends since I stumbled upon them at twelve years old. They're all older me, Ne-Yo (the eldest) is sixteen. Savannah is fifteen and Blake is fourteen. They took me in and after a two years, we went of together, to get rid of the Government.
The first deed on our list was pretty time consuming. By the time we had a clue where it was, I was fourteen. Our first deed was:
Find the Heart of Pharaoh.
And that pretty much sums it up.
