The Zero Hero
Many tales have been told of great heroes. Tales like the Hero of Oakvale who defeated the evil known as Jack of Blades. His descendent Sparrow whom defeated Lucien Fairfax and made his wish in the tattered spire and united the land and became ruler. Tales of that ruler's children whom one led a revolution against the other, and then raised an army to fight the darkness. And a final tale of how a Dweller was chosen to become a seer of great power but alas those tales of heroes are over and the world has stepped back from the advancement it would've taken. For the descendent of the hero bloodline have still ran their course instead of die out like they were destined to. It started with the Elves that took the kingdom of Albion, And from there the bloodline flourished and spread out like wildfire. Eventually they discovered their magic and new lands, eventually technology was then made obsolete to their views. One day one of those offspring whose name was Brimir Ru Rumiru Yuru Viri Vee Varutori discovered his power. His was different from the rest, for he could be closely related to the actual heroes bloodline. He became the Founder to all of Halkiginia. And like all heroes they die, but not before he created four kingdoms in his death. One was Albion said to be named after the great land where the heroes of old were from. Another Tristain the smallest off the four kingdoms. Gallia home of the bravest people, and last Romalia the religious capital and most faithful towards the Founder of their land.
Another kingdom was also founded but were considered Barbarians to the other four kingdoms. Though they strive and eventually became the strongest of all four. And so the five kingdoms lived out their days while waging pointless wars against one another. And never advancing to improve their lives and stay in a constant motion of tyranny. Though there is still the hero bloodline that has the power to change it all. Just like it was destined to.
The snow fell down the lonely mountain and four cloaked figures slowly ascended it. Their destination was a cabin that had clearly seen better days. Once each of them were at the door and before one of them could knock it was opened and a man with a blind fold with short hair and an appropriate outfit that fitted him well for the cold climate greeted them.
"Ahh come in friends I foresaw you all coming to see me off." Each of the figures looked at each other and then nodded. The blindfolded man led them in and once inside each figure took off their hoods one by one. The first to take off their hood was an old haggard looking man but looked fierce enough to do battle with any foe. The second was a girl who looked to be in her mid-twenties. She wore a pink headband and wore her red hair in two ponytails. The third was another girl with blonde hair that was mid-length she also bore pointed ears and looked to be in her mid-twenties as well. The fourth and last one was shrunken face of a man, you could see the bones from his skin and the wrinkles that were all over him. He wore a blue wrapping that covered his nose and his head. And you could clearly see his red like eyes and yellow teeth. One would say he was a mummy like person. The man with the blindfold smiled and knew what each where here to do. "So friends have you all come to say your last farewells to me?" He said playing ignorance.
"You know why we are here?" The red-headed girl said. The Blind folded man simply grinned at her and retorted.
"I know you are here to stop me Rose. The others I know not though." That got a chuckle from the old man.
"You still need to act more mysterious Gabriel. My Sister had it down where she could confuse us." Gabriel simply smiled at the old man and laughed with him.
"I guess I still have a long way to go before I'm as good as Theresa." He looked to the elf and mummy looking person. "So Sasha, Scythe what brings you here?"
"Came to wish you good luck. And to tell you to find my lazy good for nothing sword." The Elf woman commented. Gabriel nodded then looked to Scythe.
"I came to make sure you do as you have been destined." Said the mummy looking old man. Gabriel chuckled and nodded, his attention was brought back to Rose who turned him around.
"YOU'R NOT GOING!" She all but shouted in his face. He rolled his eyes and went to pack some things that were out and about. The Old man observed him as he continued to pack.
"So do you have the Guild Seal and your Gauntlets?" He asked, Gabriel brought out both mentioned items and tossed the Seal up into the air and let it land back into his hand. He then put on both of his gauntlets and pointed his left hand at a shelf that held various potions and pulled forth several red like potions to him.
"So going to be a Familiar eh?" Sasha commented. "You know those thing change the way you think right." Gabriel grunted as he continued to pack things. "I'm just saying when I was a Familiar to that Descendent Brimir I was forced to love the guy. If he didn't go and try to lead genocide against my people I might loved him still."
"Don't worry the hero Gauntlets will probably protect me And I have written everything I need to know and what my mission is." Gabriel said finishing his packing. He slung the backpack over his shoulder and looked at all of his friends.
"You know boy If I take an aging potion I can bust out my old Archon Armor and Bereaver sword and do it for you? Plus it would give me a reason to finally meet my descendents." The old man suggested, Gabriel chuckled and shook his head.
"I'd appreciate it but no this is my responsibility as a Seer." He continued to look at everyone around him. "When I became the Seer I knew that I would guide the new generation's of hero's one day." They all remained silent for a short while, Rose stepped up to him and gave him a hug.
"Don't go." Tear's falling from her eyes. "Your like my little Sparrow going off to save the world. Next thing you know you will be leading a revolution." The Blind Seer patted her shoulder to show that everything was alright.
"It's ok, we will see each other again. I'll make sure we all do." She slowly let go of Gabriel and went over to stand by the others.
"Make sure you don't fall for Reaver's child that red-headed girl will be gunning for ya." The Old hero said to the blind lad. Gabriel nodded and soon he prepared himself for when he heard those words.
"I beg you. My Slave, who lives somewhere in the universe!"
"I hear her calling guys!" Gabriel said to all of his friends, they all looked at him with various faces. Rose with worry, Scythe with a mask that couldn't really be told, Sasha with a bit of anger, and the Old man with amusement.
"Oh sacred, beautiful and strong familiar spirit!"
"Will miss you!" Rose said. They watched as the beginning of a Green orb was forming.
"I desire and here I plead from my heart! Answer to my guidance!" And the Green orb fully formed in front of them all. Gabriel slung his pack over his shoulder and looked at his friends and waved goodbye.
"Time to lead a new generation of heroes." He said he then stepped through the portal. soon only the four figures in the house were left.
