Chapter 0:Prologue

Savar is a continent where many beings made their home humans,elf's,dwarf's,beast kin and many dark races as well orcs,goblins,demons,dark elf's.

Humans are the most dominant creatures on Savar at the time no race and army can stand in their way,they have the quantity of soldiers and quality,the Osterom Empire.

Truly human race is at its peak but in their ranks a dark shadow lurks and no one knew what was going to happen .

Eight mighty generals protect the land of man from all invasions and treats towards the Empire.

All the generals where visited by the unknown shadow,they were given a chance for power,wealth and fame if they were to become slaves of the shadow.

Four generals refused but four were consumed by the greed and without thinking they accepted the offer that was presented to them.

The fools,gained power but their minds where lost their bodies could now handle the power out of this world, but that was what the shadow wanted,in to the life less bodies of the generals flowed the darkness and they awoke,they were given only one command "destroy"

The generals where not humans anymore but twisted creatures in the bodies of man.

Imperial calendar year 256 the four lord's that united the dark creatures of the land where born,lord of fire , lord of frost , lord of decay and the lord of darkness.

The dark lord's where power full they covered the northern side of the empire on darkness,no man,no woman,no child was spared the empire fought but their soldiers grew tired with every allied soldiers killed a new enemy would be made,such was the power of the dark lord's.

The Emperor seeing his empire at the brink of destruction made a decision that no one before had even thought of, he called to arms all of the light races elf's,dwarf's and beast kin.

He did not expect any help from the other races but than they came the three armies came to the aid of man.

The dark lord's where power full but they had a major flaw they worked alone all of them,the allied armies of the light races crushed the dark lords one by one,first to fall was the lord of fire,his flame legions fought hard but he was slain in the end.

The next one was the lord of frost,with his dying breath he managed to take the life of one of the empire's general's life.

The third to fall was the lord of darkness who was the strongest of the four he cursed with his dying breath that he will return one day and destroy all that is living in this world.

And now the allied armies after many years of fighting the dark lords are outside the last castle of the lord of decay, his armies defeated only hand full of his plague soldiers remain,the creatures like orcs,goblins and dark elf's have long ago deserted the dark lord's.

The lord of decay was an abomination his skin and flesh were hanging on his body some bones could be seen as well,he wore a dark green robe and hood he had a staff in his right hand.

He stood near the window as he watched the allied armies breach the last line of defence of his plague citadel .

Many foot steeps could be heard along the hallway clanking sounds of swords and armour's

they where the enemy coming to take his life he knew the but he just stood there.

"how can we fall we are the dark lord's of the dark one how ? how ? how !!?"

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Finally the enemy arrived they rushed through the door and there they saw him just standing there .

"charge!!!!" one of the soldiers yelled as he rushed at the lord of decay.

Finally he turned and started to conjure his magic "you insolent beings you dare stand before the lord of decay ! i shall slaughter you all !"

He finished conjuring his magic and green cloud appeared before the soldiers that were rushing at him,they did not have the time to stop they entered the cloud,what happened next was simply horror their skin melted their flesh even their bones .

"hahahaha now do you see my power i am not like the other lord's you have defeated now you die !"

He was conjuring another spell but this time he did not have a chance to finish it,as he felt pain in his stomach,he looked down and what he saw was a woman in black light armour and a dark scarf covering her mouth also two pointy ears where sticking on the side , she held two short swords , both where piercing his stomach.

"ass....assassin dam i ... was ..... careless"

"die you disgusting freak and return to the darkness from which you came!" The assassin woman yelled.

"s...sure but i will be taking you with me !!" Lord of decay yelled, he moved his hand and touched the woman's stomach just when he was about to cast a spell with his dying breath a sword pierced his throat "agrgagagwegr" where the sound's that could be heard.

A bulky elf stood beside him with his sword in the lord's throat "don't touch my wife" the large elf said.

>dam it all the insolent creatures.....hmmmm...whats this in this woman's belly<

>ohhh a child haha well than if i can not kill you i shall make you suffer haha<

The lord of decay sent the last of his power in to the woman's belly thinking it would kill the child inside.

'wahhh!!" The woman was sent flying in to the wall.

"Melinaa!!!" The man pulled out the sword and started running towards the woman.

"im...im alright Algrid"

"whats that mark on your stomach?"

"hmm?" Melina did not know what Algrid was talking about,she looked down and saw a circular mark with some strange letters on it.

"whaa....what the hell did you do to me freak !!" she roared as she stood up and walked near the lord of decay.

With the last strength and willpower the lord of decay managed to speak a few words.

"ha....hah..haha...y...yo..your un.....unborn chi....ch..child i...is my .....succe...successor now hah.haa"

The lord of decay was no more his body started to vanish in to the darkness .

"hmphh fool i don't fear your curse"

Ten months have passed since the fall of the last lord piece has returned to Savar and all the lands in it.

But the child with a strange mark was born in to this world, the story has just began.
