Rise of Darkness

Chapter 1: Dark Night

In Velder, all lay quiet. The streets were empty and the moon shined with a brilliant, luminescent light, flooding the ground below like water. Crickets sang their quiet songs and the faint calls of owls could be heard in the distance. All was peaceful.

However, this peace would soon be disturbed.

Two figures were on top of a roof. One was a tall male, who had long, silvery - gray hair and menacing red eyes with two black, bull like horns that came from his head. He had clothing similar to that of a butler's, the torso and gloves being burgundy in color and the rest of suit was black.

The other figure was slightly shorter than the latter and he had medium length red hair, part of it being black. He had a darker shade of red in his eyes, letting them be more pronounced with his sharp eye shape. The red haired boy's clothing was a bit unique in a sense: the top was very skinny and black in color, red mini like 'rips' in it. The bottom was very armor like, a combination of reds, blacks, and whites, with the slightest shades of gray. In his hands held two swords, a red one and a white one.

The first figure turned to the red haired boy and said, "I need you to bring them back to me from here. The ones who nearly killed me in battle."

"Yes, My Lord," the boy replied, bowing.

The demon lord smiled, pleased he had a faithful servant by his side. "Good boy, Elsword," he praised. "Now, take your time with this mission: it may be the hardest task I have given you. If push comes to shove and you must protect yourself, do so. Even brand them if you must. However, whatever you do, do not kill them." There was a serious tone in his voice at the last part. "You may leave them critically injured, but you must not kill them. I want them alive, understand?"

"Yes, My Lord," Elsword said, bowing once more. "I understand my allocated task. You may send me when you deem it ready.

The demon's smile turned into an evil one and inwardly he chuckled a bit. "You may take your leave now," he told him. "I shall keep in touch with your progress."

With a nod, Elsword got up from his bowing position. Suddenly, his mostly crimson hair was turning jet black. His fingernails turned to claws, his canines to fangs, and the pupils in his eyes turned to slits, like a cat's. Two lumps had appeared on his back started to form and burst from his back, revealing black, demonic wings about seven feet long.

Elsword hissed an otherworldly sound, eyes wide for the thrill of the hunt. He looked over to his master once more for confirmation, of which the demon leader nodded, before he took off in the night sky, silent as an owl.

The silver haired demon watched his servant go and turned to leave. He was glad that Elsword was making full use of his demonic powers that he himself had given the boy. He'd never thought it'd be this easy, being able to manipulate Elsword into being his own personal proxy.

'Soon,' the man thought to himself as he disappeared into the shadows. 'Soon, I'll be at full strength and will bring the darkness again in greater power to Elrios than anyone could've ever dreamed of...'

A/N: Sorry if this chapter is a bit on the short side. I was also thinking of adding yaoi here, but I'm not too sure if I should or not. Next chapter will possibly be a fight scene (it might be, but don't count on seeing one).

I'm also thinking if I should continue this as a successful, full length story. Again, not sure if I should or not.

Anyways, read and review! Please no flames... .-.

See ya soon!
