Ch. 1: A Nice Dream

-"here they come!"

"hold the line!"

Many voices and shouts can be heard as the clatering of armor and clashing of swords continues.

The sky bright red, there are many people stampeading in a palace

"lord Evangale! lord Evangale!" the shouts echo through the long dimly lit hallway. A door opens and a man with a long golden-black coat is standing, looking through a window.

"Lord Evangale, there you are!"

"quiet!" the man shouts, his roaring voice shaking the whole room, the man seems to be overlooking the battlefield.

"We are getting overrun, sir!"

"We can't fight any longer!" a soldier says with an expression of terror at the mention of the demon army

"we shall stand our ground no matter what..." Grandmaster Evangale comands.

The demon army, an army that came in contact with the humans, the demons wanted resorces and wealth from the humans, due to greed and coruption the humans didn't want to strike deals with the demons, the demons declared a war on humanity as a consequence. After the war many grandmasters and people lost their lives in the line of duty.

The demons were but all gone after the conflict, and the primordials, their leaders were sealed away in an infinite void.

Lord Evangale is still looking through the window, feelings of great sorrow filling his mind. He notices an arrow flying at the window, and in his last moments he imbraces death, he closes his eyes and the arrow flies through his left eye.

Moments later a tan-skinned boy wakes up below a tree in a sunny forest, it looks like he was sleeping.

"Ezra!" "Ezra!" the boy picks up his things and runs to the village, the village is a spiral place with wooden houses all sorrounding a lake

"Ezra there you are, why were you out so long? Either way, can you help me with this cargo? I need to bring it to the docks"

"sure mom" says Ezra smilling while rubbing his eyes,

"don't force yourself too much, you are still recovering from your training." says Ezra's mom

As Ezra walks to the docks he picks up are strange scent, he stops and after a few minutes he realises... Its the smell of blood.

Ezra drops the cargo and rushes to the village. Once there he sees two guards dead on the floor, followed by a trail of blood leading into the forest, he decides to follow the trail and sees his sister bloody in the hands of two men in heavy armor and his mother dead beside a path. She was clearly trying to fight the soldiers but failed, she was chopped up and dissected limb from limb. Truly a horrific sight for a child to witness.

"stop!" Ezra yells, while he tries to grab the arm of the soldier, but his subordinate unsheathes his sword and cuts off Ezra's hand.

The men start talking to each other while Ezra is crying on the floor, they decided to walk away leaving Ezra in the forest to die.
