A More Perfect Union Prologue: Trex's Tale*~Date: April 15th, 2002~*
*~Location: The grounds of the castle Dark's Keep (Mirror Plane)~*
So… The Prince of Eternity thinks he's ready to rule…I think not…Today is April fifteenth, the birthday of Trex Zaytel, the Prince of Salagon, the Kingdom of Magic. It is on this day that he would unknowingly gain all of his powers for either good or evil. But the Lord of Shadows begs to differ. Lord Darkyrion knows of Trex's great powers. Trex alone can control Nightstrike, the blade that rules over all magic. The Dark Lord has been waiting for fifteen years…planning…plotting…
* YAWN * Trex finally woke up. "Uhn...Isn't today my birthday??" "Yes, Trex it is. In fact, I was wondering if you'd ever wake up. Your parents are worried about you, they think you're dead." "…Oops. Well, can you find me some decent clothes? I'm halfway naked and I still can't see yet. I feel like I've got hangover for God's sake." "Yes, sire." Lyros had been Trex's bodyguard for thirteen years. Now they were more like friends than partners. "By the way, Lyros? If it's not too much of a problem, can you get me my amulet? I want to wear it at the crowning ceremony this afternoon. Today, Trex turned fifteen. By rite of passage, he had five years to find a wife. He always wondered why he couldn't get married earlier than that, but that would just have to wait. "Here you go, Trex. I'll wait outside until you're done."
Five minutes later, Trex came out in his clothes. He was wearing a black tee shirt with cargo pants. He never could see why adults always wanted him to look so preppy. He slipped his black pendant on. "Just to know, what's on your mind, Trex?" "The fusion thing again. You know, three become one. I had a dream last night. A guy with blonde hair and a guy with black hair fused with me. Three chicks fused with each other too." "Ok…next topic." "Let's see what's for breakfast." Trex and Lyros strode out into the main hall, where they were greeted by all the inhabitants of the castle. Most gave them a warm hello. Others stared at Trex, probably wondering why he was wearing such…common…clothes. The butler was probably the only person Trex hated in the entire castle. "Master Trex, I can't believe you're wearing such awful clothes to such an important ceremony as this. You let him do this, Lyros??" "Umm, yeah. The prince can do whatever he wants." But inside, Lyros was secretly thinking "Yeah, so what?? You and your fake British accent…Go take your preppy attitude and shove it up your ass!" The butler left, and the two walked into the main chamber. "Ah, Trex and Lyros. I'm so glad you two finally came down. We thought you were dead." "Yeah, I know dad. Sorry I'm late." Trex ran up the stairs and hugged his dad.
"Well, you have an hour to prepare. Maybe you should practice your speech again." Trex stiffened. "Yes, I think I'll go do that now." "Goddamit, why'd I have to fall asleep?? Oh well. I'm good at making speeches…I think." Fifty-nine minutes and fifty five seconds later, the king was at the podium, finishing his speech. "Thank you all. Now here is my son and your future king. I introduce to you Prince Trex." "Exactly one hour." Trex was at the podium. "Hi, everyone, and thank you all for coming here today. This is the day when I become prince, and am named the future ruler of our kingdom. I'd like to thank my family for being there for me and teaching me what I need to know about being a great ruler. Dad, thanks for showing me the proper way to sign documents and form contracts. I'd like to tell you that in the next five minutes, I'll forget. I'd also like to thank Lyros for protecting me and helping me when I need it. Thanks for always talking with me when I was worrying over something. I'd like to thank my teachers at the academy for refining my skills and teaching me facts that I will need to know when I am ruling. Lastly, I would like to thank all of you. You all have always been kind to me and made sure that I came to no harm. Thank you all." As Trex walked off the podium, everyone started to clap. "A standing ovation for three minutes of wasted air. That's kind of cool…I guess…"
Trex's dad walked onto the podium. Fifteen minutes later, he was preparing to crown Trex. "My son, Trex Katano Zaytel, do you promise to be a loyal ruler of the people?" "I do." "Do you swear to lead and guide them in times of war, famine, drought, illness, and any other form of disaster?" "I do." "Do you promise to abide by the laws of our country and never institute a law or bill that would hinder the rights of any of our citizens? "I do." "Finally, do you promise to carry on the legacy of this monarchy and bear an heir to the thrown of Salagon?" "I do." "Then I now crown you Prince Trex Katano Zaytel. Kneel down and receive your first blade." Trex knelt down, head bowed and arms outstretched. Seconds later, a cold, hard sword was lain in his hands. "Thank-" *BOOM!!!* The castle shook. A cold wave swept through the castle. "Trex, it seems that the ceremony must be cut short. As you are the new prince, you must lead the troops into battle. You should discover your unbroken powers sometime soon. Good luck." Trex ran to the military barracks, Lyros on his heels. "General, I have just been named prince. Open the royal keep and let myself and my bodyguard arm ourselves. I'll lead the troops out myself. Lyros will hang back and direct the bowmen. "Alright."
A moment later, Trex and a thousand troops were waiting in the foxholes by the barrier. "Waiting…waiting…" Suddenly, a shadow flew overhead. Trex thought it was a bird until ten more shot across. Twenty… Trex realized these were no birds. "Men, on my mark. Draw your swords and prepare for sub aerial combat. Three… Two… One… GO!!!" A thousand men sprang up around the wall. Trex was prepared for aerial combat, but not for this. There was a huge wormhole in the sky, and thousands of dark figures were shooting out of it. One of them came for Trex. "No!!!" Trex drew his sword and began madly slashing. It had no effect until Trex got an insane urge to say…
"Shadow specter, unharmed by blade…
Through this spell your soul I invade.
Not on the outside, but inside I attack.
Into the portal I now force you back!"
Trex's sword began to glow blue, and a blue charge shot out of it. The apparition was locked inside a blue orb, which shot back inside the wormhole. Another specter rose in front of him, and this one looked strangely familiar. He had no time to think about it, because he was knocked out. When he came to, he was in a small room with the specter. "Well, well. So you're finally awake. I'm sure you don't know me, and I'd like to keep it that way. All you need to know is that it's hopeless to fight me. If you try, you'll die. I wouldn't recommend it." "And what makes you so sure? Lyros will be here soon." "Ha! The reason you're here is because your pitiful army was defeated. He will not come." Trex violently struggled against his bonds, but the magic chains would not budge. "DAMN YOU! LET ME GO!!!" "How about…no?" Trex's nemesis shot a blast at him. Suddenly, he was hit with a surge of mystical energy. He whispered:
"Lord of Darkness, hear my cry.
With this chant I block your psy.
Darkness forces have no result
Forces of light shall lead the assault!"
Trex's bindings were broken and the shadow was thrown back. Trex grabbed his blade…but wait. His hand didn't move! Oh well. If a spell worked once, it might work twice. "But…how did you survive that? It's like you absorbed my attack!"
"Shadow specter, unharmed by blade…
Through this spell your soul I invade.
Not on the outside, but inside I attack.
Into the portal I force you back!"
The dark figure didn't move. "The portal is closed. But I can make one, and I think I will. KYUU!!!" A swirling vortex opened, and the shadow kicked him in. "I'm not going without taking you down with me!" Trex grabbed the shadow's leg. "No! What are you doing? This can't happen! I'm a shadow! How can you pull me down?!?!?!" Into the vortex they swirled.
After what seemed like an eternity of falling, Trex hit a wall. Only it wasn't a wall, it was part of a portal. Trex hit the ground. He shakily got onto his legs and looked around. "Whoa…"
