Chapter 1
Prologue: How the Monster came to Be
My name is unknown ,but other people call me an exile ,a traitor…a monster. All I can recall of my past is visions of a burning village ,people screaming ,my parents telling me to run…so much death. I have wandered this realm for what feels like an eternity ,searching for a way to right the wrongs of my past ,but I am alone. So far I have lived in solitude for as long as I can remember ,avoiding people as best as I can. I hear voices in my head but they just won't stop…ever since that night…the night the monster was unleashed from inside of me.
[FLASHBACK]
I have lived in fear of other people that have come seeking to kill me for fame and glory. But one day I was found by a local village's blacksmith while he was out looking for his wife's bracelet that she lost while exploring the woods near their village. When he found me ,I was so scared he'd kill me and began to cry. (I was only 4 years old at that time.)
"Please don't hurt me! I haven't done any thing! Take this bracelet I found yesterday ,just don't hurt me!" I cried. I curled into a ball ,trying to hide my face from him
When he reached out his hand to take the bracelet ,he asked ,in a strong yet caring tone, "Why are you out here all alone ,boy? Where's your family? What happened to you?"
I looked up at him ,my eyes red and puffy from crying ,and sobbed, "Their dead! Bad men killed them ,along with the rest of my village! I was the only one that survived the attack."
I was surprised at what he said next, "Why don't you come with me back to the village ,boy ,its not far? You can live with me and my wife."
I jumped to my feet and said, "Really ,I can live with you?" I ran over to him and gave him a big hug and cried, "Oh ,thank you ,thank you ,thank you ,thank you!"
He was surprised at my sudden movement ,but soon realized that I had been out in the woods for quite awhile to accept his offer so quickly. He then noticed that I was quite thin and decided to get me back to his house as quickly as possible. When we got to his house ,I was amazed at how big it was ,since my old families was a small hut. As soon as he opened the door ,I smelled something delicious coming from inside ,and my mouth began to water. I followed him inside and heard someone humming in ,I think ,the kitchen. I looked around a corner to see a woman cooking something that smelled wonderful ,then the man walked up behind me and said, "I see you have found my wife ,here let me introduce you…Nala ,I have someone who will be living with us."
The woman turned around and gasped as she saw me ,then asked, "Where did you find him? What happened to him? What's his name?" She put down the knife she was using and rushed over to me.
When I saw her rush over to me ,I cried out and hid behind the man for protection from her as I thought she would hurt me. Then the man spoke, "Slowly Nala ,he's very scared of anyone who runs at him! He says bad men killed his family ,along with his entire village," His face darkened as he said the last part.
"Oh my ,are you okay? Oh, you poor child! I'm not going to hurt you ,I just want to make sure your okay, come here." She held out her arms and I hesitatingly walked over to her and when I was less than a foot away from her ,I looked into her eyes ,they looked like my mothers eyes; they were a rich emerald. I knew she wasn't going to hurt me. I broke down right there ,and hugged her ,crying ,saying I didn't want to leave her. Nala looked shocked that I had hugged her ,but quickly hugged me back trying to calm me down.
"Its going to be okay. Shhhhhhhh ,its alright ,your safe now," she looked up at the man and said, "Go and find a nice place for me to sit down with him. So I can try and get him to calm down." With that she carried me into their living room and sat down with me in a rocking-chair that was in front of a nice ,little fire and rocked me to sleep.
The next morning ,I awoke in a soft bed. I didn't see Nala anywhere ,I began to worry that something had happened to her ,but then the door opened and Nala walked in with a tray of food.
She looks up and see me awake, "Good your awake," She then notices the tears in my eyes as I lied back down ,she sets the tray down on the table beside the bed ,sits down beside me on the bed ,and holds me in her arms and whispers in my ear, "Everything's going to be okay."
I flung my arms around her neck and cried softly, "Don't leave me again ,mom! I don't want to lose you, too!" Nala was taken aback as I said 'mom'.
(Remember I was only 4 years old at the time.)
For the next twenty-five years ,I trained as a blacksmith ,but then one night ,I had a dream that scared the shit out of me; Everyone in the village was dead except for me ,the village itself was on fire ,my 'mom' was being raped by the 'Bad Men' that destroyed the last village I lived in ,seeing her getting hurt filled me with rage and hatred for those men!
I still remember those words; Don't leave me.
[End of Flashback]
I blinked as I came back to the present and dodged a spear that was thrown at me as I fought in the Temple Arena. I roared as an arrow pierced my armor and hit my tattoo ,which then began to glow uncontrollably. I roared as my armor melted off my body and my skin burned away to reveal the monster I have tried to contain ever since the day my 'mom' died.
I reached back and yanked the arrow out and roared to the heavens above before rising my sword high above my head and driving it into the ground causing the entire arena to quake. Then spikes burst from the ground flew towards my opponents ,who just stood there paralyzed with fear ,waiting for their death ,which came quickly as the spikes pierced their chests. They all fell to the ground lifeless.
The crowd was silent for a few seconds but then burst into cheers ,all except for the Guardians ,who just stared at me with faces of surprise and shock. Volteer was the first to speak, "Who is that warrior and what was that power? I've never seen such power except for in Malefor!"
"I don't know ,Volteer ,but we could have a use for him in the coming war with Malefor. Lets go down to visit this odd and ruthless war-" Terrador was interrupted by a loud roar that was filled with sorrow and longing.
He looked down at me as I fell to my knees dropping my weapons and grasping my head as tears rolled down my face ,dropped to the ground and disappeared into the dirt ,then all the sorrow was replaced with hatred as I remembered the men that had killed my 'mom' ,Nala. I roared as loud as I could and unleashed a convexity bolt into the sky which turned the entire area a light shade of purplish red ,once it reached the heavens it turned around and shot back down at me ,engulfing me in purplish-red light. Everyone in the arena ran out the exits screaming.
So what do you think? R&R please.
