V1 Prologue: The Blind Paladin

Year 1294 humanoid monsters known as demons suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They are beings which were created by the evil of humanity. No one knew where or why the demons were born, but they knew one fact. That the demons possessed powers which far surpasses the powers of humans.

One by one, the mighty human countries were invaded and conquered by the demon horde, those who survived the invasion were enslaved and were forced to serve the demons. As the demons occuppied more land, the humans graduately lost their means of resisting.

After realizing the huge gap in military might, the surviving human countries formed an alliance which is known as the holy knights alliance. But despite the number of soldiers the alliance possessed, their armies still lost against the demon horde. The gap in strength was just too huge. After a decisive battle at Panagata field the holy Knights alliance was finally crushed by the overwhelming might of the demons. After the fall of the alliance humanity fell under the rule of the demons. Their rule lasted for two years until one day a human who found a way to defeat the demons was born. That same human called himself a paladin, users of the holy arts which were made to slay the demon race.

The humans begun a rebellion, with a small number of fifty thousand soldiers. The rebel forces managed to expel the demons from Panagata field which marks the day of liberation. With each battle more and more people joined the rebellion, with their growing might the humans managed to reclaim the fortress of fanghorn, the castle of magnadul and the town of Aldragon. After losing the battle at Daraka fortress the demons was forced to sign a peace treaty with the unified human army which called themselves the holy knights order.

But the demons never forgot their losses, they bore even more hatred for the humans. But they feared the arts which the humans used against them, they knew that the power of the humans can't be underestimated. But what they didn't know is that a girl who possessed powers that rivals the king of dragons is born on the small country of Lasfortia.

When the demons found out about the girl, they sent an army which numbered a thousand soldiers to invade the country of Lasfortia to kill the girl.

On a small village named Sabarin, the young girl was found by a member of the holy knights order and he took her in as her own daughter. The name of the Paladin is Kaynard, he is known as the Fearless Captain of the knight order. He taught the young girl named Yona the secret arts of Faith and trained her to become his successor. 

Yona las long silvery hair which sparkles like starlight, her eyes had an odd pairing with the left being gold and the right which had the color of amber. Yona's slender body resembles that of a child despite being fifteen years old, her face was also childlike.

"I'm tired master, can we continue my training tomorrow?"(Yona)

Asked Yona as she swings the wooden sword that she uses for practice. Kaynard reveals a strict look on his face and he told her in a serious tone.

"You need to keep training everyday Yona, it's to make sure that our bodies are always in the best condition when we fight, if we don't follow this rule. Then our chances on getting killed on the battlefield will only rise."(Kaynard)

Yona lightly gripped the hily of the wooden sword and she told Kaynard while having a bright smile on her face.

"I understand, I'll do my best master."(Yona)

After hearing Yona's reply Kaynard reveals a warm smile for a single second and he told Yona.

"Since you've been a good girl I'll treat you to anything you want, so tidy up so we can go to the shopping district."(Kaynard)

Upon hearing Kaynard's words Yona begun to swing her sword with great vigor as she said.

"You'll buy me anything right master? Yay!"(Yona)

Kaynard scratched his head while his face had signs of bashfulness. The two departed for the shopping district and Kaynard asked Yona.

"How old are you right now Yona-chan?"(Kaynard)

Yona turned to the direction of Kaynard's voice and she quickly gave her reply.

"I'm currently fourteen years old, why did you ask master?"(Yona)

Kaynard grabbed Yona's hand and he told her as he lightly pats her head with his right hand.

"I want you to become a member of the knights order Yona-chan, but if you don't want to become one then it's fine, I wont be mad if you choose to become something other than a knight. So remember that I'll always be on your side Yona-chan."(Kaynard)

Yona shook her head and she told him as she placed her hand on Kaynard's head.

"I want to become a knight, to repay your kindness master."(Yona)

After hearing Yona's statement, Kaynard kneels down and hugs Yona tightly, Yona then waved her hands as if to signal someone and a few moments later a man around the age twenty years old approached the two, with a wry look on his face the man handed Yona a sword. Yona quickly broke free of Kaynard's embrace and she handed Kaynard the sword.

"I know it's not much, but I've saved up enough money to buy you a sword, after I lost my parents you've always looked after me, that's why I wanted to buy you a present Kaynard-sensei. Happy birthday Kaynard-sensei."(Yona)

With a surprised look on his face, Kaynard accepts the sword and proceeds on giving Yona a big hug. Then he asked her.

"How did you buy this sword Yona-chan, it's a sword made by the great blacksmith named Dale right? Where did you get the money to buy such a sword?"(Kaynard)

Yona revealed a smile on her face and she said.

"Secret, I'm not telling you Kaynard-sensei."(Yona)

Kaynard smiled and pats Yona in the head, and together the two went to the market to buy Yona's favorite meal, but the peaceful days that they spent on the town will soon end, the demons are on their way and they will not stop until Yona is killed.
