Dark Souls Fan-Fiction
Prologue
Since the First Great Flame, Discovered in The Time of The Ancients, Fire has been the symbol of life and power in the World. For was it not The Great Flame that gave the Giants the Souls of Lords? For which in turn gave them the courage, weapons, and most importantly, Power to fight the Everlasting Dragons? To burn the Arch Trees? Indeed it was; Gwyn, The Lord of Sunlight and his faithful Silver Knights, who used their weapons and armor to fight against the Dragons by using the knowledge given to them by Seath The Scaleless, traitor to his own. They used Spears of Lightning and Sunlight to pierce the Dragon's Scales of Immortality. Then Nito, First of the Dead, Unleashed his Miasma of Death and Disease on the Dragons now bare and exposed flesh and poisoned the Great Arch Trees. The Great Witch of Izalath, and her Daughters of Chaos, wreathed great and powerful Fire Storms on the Dragons and Arch Trees, charring the exposed flesh and burning the bark and wood to Ash and Cinder. The Furtive Pygmy and his Split Dark soul in thr Form of Humaity, their tenacity and Darkness overwhelming the already weakened dragons. With the Power of Lords, they destroyed the Dragons and Arch Trees, ending their grey, unchanging, and once supposed everlasting Age of Ancients. Thus began the Age of Fire, with Lord Gwyn and his Faithful Knights at its head, with the other lords at the heel and humanity and their Dark Soul under careful watch and rule. For Millennia, there was peace and prosperity in all the lands under their Rule. For The Rule of Gods is supposedly Eternal and Prosperous, is it not?
But, Alas it seems, that not even the Gods are Eternal. But then, nothing it seems is eternal. As time passed, the Great Flamed weakened and began to burn itself to ash and cinders. Gwyn, with his fear of the returning Dark and the Rise of Man, beseeched the Witch of Izalath to Create a New Flame, to extend his Age of Fire and Godly Prosperity. Thus so, the Witch did attempt her task with great fervor, believing thyself capable;
She was mistaken.
The Witch, in her attempts to create another Great Flame, instead created a Chaos Flame; A Flame that devoured and twisted all in its path, including The Witch of Izalath and many of her Daughters and her One Son. This Chaotic Flame created many Great, Powerful, and Horrible things. Chaos Demons, Twisted fire creatures, Devastating damage to the Witch's home of Izalath, which is now watched over by the now twisted and corrupted Brother of Izalath and Remaining Sisters.
But the Chaos Flame also created something Unexpected. Something new and unnatural, something to be feared and Respected, Something Evil and Chaotic, Useful and Dangerous. The art of manipulating Fire;
Pyromancy.
