Chapter 1: The Background…
Third Person View for now, First Person will be after chapter 1
Sky Bladefield was probably the happiest boy to have happily lived for 10 years of peaceful and loving environment of his family. He has his grandfather and grandmother who gave him the name Sky as he was borned on a day of Clear Sky, named so he could have a pure heart like the clear sky. His parents were also in agreement to his name, not knowing that Sky will one day emerge as the Ultimate Hero in 10 years.
He grew up around a supposedly strong demon named Auroa but it stays in a lion form to save power. The lion acts as his babysitter since he was borned after he had turned 10 years old it was to be sealed up by the head of the family again. His childhood was a happy one, Sky was never a spoiled kid, and he was a kind kid growing up. Every morning he would go on a walk in the slums part of the city and would always give some of his allowance to the poor, the poors referred to him as "little savior." His parents would lecture him to not go into the slums since it is an area of high mortality of children, but they would feel proud about their son being so selfless in heart.
He grew up known for his ability to quickly learn stuff such as when his father had started to train him when he was 4, he had learned the Bladefield swords arts in less than 5 years, he could even rival his father at that age if he had went all out with his power activated. He was also known as the "Prodigy of the Bladefields." Every single one of the nobility of the empire knew about this prodigy and also expects him to be a force to be reckoned with. Eventually this message got to the king and this king has started to fear the Bladefield. Nonetheless Sky grew up as a happy boy treated with high respect.
Everything changed when the Emperor of Flias, Caesar V. Flias, outlawed their clan; the biggest Armentalist clan (Bladefield Clan) in the continent of Flias because of the boy's father had accidentally killed the Emperor's brother, Gaustein V. Flias on a duel battle that was supposed to be a duel to protect his wife (aka the boy's mother) since Gaustein had laid his lustful eyes on the beautiful wife of the boy's father. The duel was supposed to be a death match but the Emperor had went against the vouch and ordered the Bladefield clan to be all executed. No one knew the King had used this reason as an excuse to execute the bladefields so he could have a stable throne. He not knowingly that Sky had escaped and later cause his own fall.
An old butler named Vincent was put in charge of the boy after the clan was executed by the last wish of the head of the Bladefield clan which is the boy's father. The old butler is a close friend of the head he swore to protect the boy, one of his objectives was to help awaken the blood of the Bladefield within the boy so he could avenge his family. After the butler has awakened his blood, he was instantly killed in the pursuit of the royal knights of the empire. The cat is actually a sealed demon that has formed a contract with the Bladefields for eternity. The contract is an equality contract which means as long as the Bladefields still are alive in this world; the demon shall have infinite life span so it has to protect the blood of Bladefields.
It found the last blood of the bladefields after most of the clan was totally annihilated. It had gone on a rampage in the city of Fliada due to the anger of the massacre of the clan it was supposedly to protect. The royal knights came in wave by wave to subdue the demon but most are eaten or completely burned out by the flames of the demon. After the Caesar V. Flias called the high priestess of the Holy Light League, Eterna, and the empire finally subdued Auroa due to its weakened stage of burned out magic powers. The royal knights and the high priestess never knew about what happened to the demon after it has used up all of its magic. They would never had expected it to have turned into a cat and snuck to the last blood of the Bladefields.
The Royal Family of the Flias Empire outlawed the boy, Sky Bladefield because he has escaped execution and now is persecuted with a bounty of 3 million gold. (this is a big amount on the continent of Flias for a small boy) Sky has escaped to the border sands with the cat after it has presented to him.
"Child, you who has the last blood of the Bladefields is the last of my hopes of living! You have to live to avenge your clan, and therefore since my life is on the line I shall bestow you the Aurorus Magic that will help you in your path of a vengeance." That was what "Auroa" said before he turned into a regular cat and after Sky has been given the Aurorus magic. Aurorus magic is basically the magic of all affinities which is mostly based on the imagination of the user. Sky was able to escape because he had made himself invisible. He not knowingly stepped into the world's largest and driest desert, the Lagaard Desert and wonder for two years….(Don't ask me how he lived for two year in the desert because the answer is right there, remember the equality contract, he has a stronger life force than regular people)
In the vast desert, one would not expect a boy wondering around it with a cat like animal by his side, but obviously there is a story behind all of this. "Sorry you have to starve with me again, Auroa, "the boy said to the cat with a bit of a joker's attitude. "Meow," was all the cat replied but it looks hungry and that is very apparent. The cat looks like a miniature lion if not the best way to describe it. "Sigh, "the boy sighed but with a sense of killing in his eyes as if remembering the past. "Looks like its lizard meat for dinner again, we gotta find some water soon or else we are really screwed." And as usual the cat says, "Meowwww."
The boy and the cat goes on, with barely any luggage, the cat purrs constantly to signal its hunger. The boy with a, "I'm sorried", face. Night came quickly as they finished up a lizard that Auroa caught. Just when the boy was about to fall asleep, a heavy smoke swept over the desert that woke the boy up. "Auroa, wake up! " "Meowwww!" The cat had sprung from its curled up posture and started purring atrociously. "I think the smoke is poisonous…. WE GOTTA RUNNNNNNN!" The company of boy and cat started fleeing in the opposite direction of the smoke.
From a distance two men armored in heavy plate and huge blades and a woman with light leather armor and a wide bow, watched the boy (the cat is too small to be seen) fleeing towards them. "It's another survivor, should we put him down?" The woman with the bow asked the other two as if they are her higher ups. "Wait, we need some more hands in our guild he might help with the scrubs," one man said jokingly. "Well we should have a good loot in the desert waiting so let's forget about the boy first, the smoke Vesoium, we used can be used to kill any lvl 5 and down monsters so let's not make it go to waste, I'm sure there are some sand diggers laying dead in the sand that we can loot from," A more mature man said. The woman stayed quiet as she started to aim at a creature that appears half dead lying on the sand.
"Auroa! Auroa! Auroaaaaaaa!" "Where are you?!" The boy shouted into the desolate desert. Of course the desert replied with a silence. The boy felt powerless and dehydrated after his voice had used up the last of his saliva, he tried hard to stay awake. His vision blurring, his hearings fainting, and his voice came out voiceless. He realized he is going to die out here, so picked up one good memory to recall before his death….. Back when he was a kid, a very small kid he had a great life, mom and dad loved him his grandparents also adored him like he's the last of the nearly extinct species.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa…..Uncle, Aunt…," those were the last of Sky's thought before he fainted…..
