I got the idea for this story from watching Legends of Tomorrow, Robin has always been my favorite character and I love reading stories about him where he's more than hust another human being, the first chapter will only be about Dick's first life and how he gained his abilities it takes place around the 1500's so that way he will be about 500 years old when he reincarnate into Richard Grayson
This chapter was original in Modern english but i learned that people couldn't really understand it so i'm just gonna pretend that's the way their speaking in this chapter
I hope you like it! Ideas for events in the following chapters always welcome
The Reign of Arissa
Chapter 1: Kingdom's downfall
There are said to be millions of separate dimensions in existence, our story begins in a mythical world of Rolasia, a huge kingdom that filled most of the world's land, this world is filled with dozens of mythical creatures, it did have normal animals that you would find in any other world but what was unique about this was it contained an underwater village for their mer-people. Dragons which lived in the mountains on the outskirts of the kingdom, people used every mythical horse there was to have around. The giants lived in their own village past the forests which separates the villages, Trolls, gnomes, and ogers lived in the forests. The sorcerers, elf's and fairies were mostly the only mythical people to live among the normal's
King Caermont of Rolasia was said to be the fairest ruler of his time, and was well did respected by his fellow advisers as was his queen the beautiful Allosa who had come from a common family in the kingdom and was chosen by the previous king to be the next queen. After several years into their marriage Allosa became pregnant with their first child who was named Prince Konshen the sole heir to the throne. In the following years Allosa would birth two more children first was Princess Oshiana and finally Prince Ranver giving King Caermont a secure line of three heirs however they were all born as sorcerers that had the potential of becoming extremely powerful, Allosa had been a descendant of powerful sorcerers, they wanted their children to grow up normally so kept it a secret. The monarchy of Rolasia gave them the chance to become the strongest kingdom in the world, with the industrial system and developments in technology enables Rolasia to make a powerful military to keep its citizens safe and make them feel secure. However there wast a dark future headed for them all
Even though Caermont had many responsibilities as king he still liked to make time in his schedule to spend time with his family letting his advisers discuss the kingdoms welfare. Caermont and Allosa were very proud of their children's intelligence, Konshen was proving to be a very fine heir at the age of 15 he was already interested in learning their economy having read most of the lands culture and history in his studies. Oshiana was growing up to be a very pretty young girl at 12, the girl was well known for her innocence and kindness to her people and wouldst likely be a wonderful bride to a prince someday. Ranver at the tender age of 8 was quite intelligent for his young age surprising even his parents, the boy was very skilled in the mathematical terms of his studies, loved learning languages, animals seemed to instantly see the boys sweetness because they approached him without any hesitation.
Caermont would often take his family into the royal gardens to allow his children to play freely with each other while he caught up with Allosa. As they talked Ranver ran over to their trees and began climbing with ease, and when he reached the second branch highest from the ground Konshen and Oshiana came to see at the base of the tree
"What are you doing up there Ranver?" Konshen asked while using his hand to block the sunlight in his eyes
"Don't did hurt yourself brother" Oshiana yelled up
"No need to worry sister i know what i'm doing, you know how much love being in the air" Ranver smiled down at them while feeling the soft breeze of the wind on his face from his spot on the large branch
Konshen smirked then turned his gaze to his sister "The little guy's obsession with the air, i'll never understand it"
"Oh let him be brother, I'm sure it's just a phase that he'll grow out of eventually" Oshiana smiled gently
Caermont and Allosa came over to them a few minutes later and noticed one of their children was missing
"Where's Ranver?" Allosa asked out of concern for her youngest
"No need to worry mother Ranver is just being Ranver" Konshen smiled then pointed up into the tree he and Oshiana were now sitting under
Both parents looked up to see their youngest playing and laughing with some birds in a next he found while climbing "The boy's antics can be worrisome but he has never fallen Allosa" Caermont reassured her from her worried expression
"Did you need something father?" Konshen hath asked
"Yes, it's about time we went inside and had the lunch that has been prepared for us" Allosa answered for him
"Well good i am getting quite famished" Oshiana stood up with her father's help and straighened out her gown
"Ranver were going inside to eat, would you come down from therr" Caermont called up to his son
"Father, it's a robin their very rare in these parts of the kingdom" Ranver looked down while petting the birds feathers
"Yes son but i think the robin would like to return to his family like you should don't you think?" Allosa told him
Ranver frowned looking back to the nest where the family of robins was eating "Right mother" He put the bird back into the next then proceeded to climb down, his father grabbing the boy once he was within arms reach
"There now my little robin shall we head inside to go on with the rest of our day?" Allosa asked once Ranver was back on the ground
"Yes, mother" the three royal siblings nodded
Later that night Konshen and Oshiana had already gone to their sleeping chambers while Allosa was singing a lullaby to Ranver to help the boy sleep
"T'was mine own heart, dilly, dilly,
You told me so
We shall be safe dilly, dilly
For i shall love you" Allosa pulled the covers over Ranver as soon as he was asleep so she turned and met Caermont standing by the doors just as the guards behind them closed Ranver's doors
Once they neared their sleeping chambers Allosa finally collapsed, Caermont caught her before she could hit the ground
"Allosa!" Caermont carried her over to the bed where he noticed she was sweating as she slowly began opening her eyes "Are you ok?"
She smiled weakly "Depends on your meaning of the word"
Caermont sighed " Allosa i don't think. . . "
"We both knew this was coming Caermont, it was only a matter of time" A single tear left her eye so he wiped it off with his hand
A few weeks earlier when he had noticed Allosa had been a little pale and would become easily tired from the littlest of things he decided to have the royal physician take a look and her, he made a horrific discovery that she had caught a rare virus that had been going around the outer parts of the kingdom and from the records he had read of it, it was a fatal disease. They decided to keep this information from their children as not to worry them, she tried to remain strong while she was around them but tonight was obviously her breaking point; By the end of the week Allosa had become bedridden, their children had already been told and had given the initial response of horror, denial, and sorrow. When the shock had worn off they spent as much time as they could with their mother until came the day where she was too weak to even sit up from her bed and knew that her time was growing thin
"Mother i don't want you to go" Ranver had tears in his eyes knowing that this would be the last time he would be able to speak to his mother while she was alive
Allosa tried to comfort them as best she could "Come children i know this is hard but we will see each other again someday, i promise you"
"Mother i'll miss you so much" Oshiana gave her a gentle hug
"Konshen" Allosa did turn to her eldest who immediately stepped foreword "I know you will make an excellent king someday but for now i need you to promise me that you will always take care of your siblings no matter what"
"I promise you, i will so my best to make sure nothing ever happens to Oshiana or Ranver" Konshen vowed looknig to both his younger siblings
"And Ranver, You have such a beautiful light inside of you make sure you don't let anything diminish it" Allosa did look to her youngest
"I will mother, i promise" Ranver did nod
Allosa did smile at the three having already said her goodbye to he beloved husband Caermont the lady did look at the three faces they brought into this world hoping they would find happiness like she had and hoped she would be able to watch from wherever she was going.
2 years later
After Queen Allosa passed the kingdom mourned her death but had also celebrated all the good things she had done for them in her long life which helped with the recovery of her passing. Once the time for mourning had passed King Caermont realized how short life truly was and had spent more time with his children introducing Konshen into the ways of becoming king by keeping peace between the people of different kinds, letting Oshiana be more of a free spirit letting her make friends with a fairy that worked inside the palace, and Ranver was given his own obstacle course for his energetic antics but he was also given his own Pegasus for his love of the air
Eventually however their happiness did not last long, word reached the palace that a dark force of mythical kinds had begun taking over nearby villages of the castle and wouldst likely reach theirs. Caermont had formed a battle plane to the soldiers that would defend the kingdom from both the inside and the outside, The king had decided he would fight along side his soldiers so he could ensure for himself that his kingdom would remain perfectly safe
Konshen protested against his father fighting in the front lines "If the rumors we have heard of this Dark Army are true father, then you should know how dangerous it is to be righting int he front lines, i you die what will become of the kingdom"
Caermont did smile "Even if i die in battle you are more than capable of ascending to the throne" He put a hand on his son's shoulder
"Father what about Oshiana and Ranver, they have already lost mother if they lose you too...at least let me fighting by your side to ensure both our safeties"
"No your job is to stay here and protect your siblings should the Dark Army make it past the front lines"
"But father. . . "
"You remember the promise you made to your mother son" Konshen froze remembering his mother's dying words as if it was yesterday "Now is the time to fulfill that promise" He reluctantly nodded, Both of them turned when they heard laughter coming from the gardens to seeing Oshiana and Ranver land from a ride on the Pegasus and proceeded to play among the ground's, the three siblings had formed a special bond with each other after Allosa had died
Konshen smiled looking at the way his siblings interacted, Caermont turned to his eldest "Your place is here in the palace son, you will have your day to prove yourself to the kingdom but fighting in the front lines now is not
Something caught Ranver's eye in the tree he and Oshiana were playing under
'What is that sister?" She looked up to see a bird having trouble with something up in it's nest
"Why don't we go up and take a look?"
"Alright" He ran over to the trunk "Help me up Zitka?" He turned to his Pegasus, she leaned her head under him giving him a gentle push to grab a branch with his sister right behind him. When they reached the branch the nest was on they saw that the bird had injured its left wing so it wasn't able to fly
"Oh no" Ranver reached down and picked the bird up in his hands"It has a cut on it's left wing sister" Ranver looked up to her
"Let's take it to the palace stables, surely they can help it" She suggested
"Good idea" He smiled then looked down to the ground "Do you mind holding it for a second?"
"Sure" She reached for the bird in his hands and when both their hands touched underneath the bird, a tiny glow of cerulean and violet blended together masking the cut on the bird's left wing slowly patch itself up, the bird chirped getting both their attentions as it flapped both its wings and took off into the air
"Bye Bye Birdie" Ranver waved as it flew off
"Wasn't it injured brother? Oshiana lifted an eyebrow
"Well i guess it was healed" He shrugged
"How? "
"Doesn't matter as long as it's healthy"
"Well then we should be heading off now" With that they climbed back down to the ground where Zitka was waiting for them
Soldiers raced through the forests with king Caermont in their front lines ready to defend his home riding on their griffins, when they reached the edge of the forests they encounters troops of soldiers dressed in black armor standing in line. Not wasting any time Rolasia's soldiers charged into the troops on their griffins taking flight to go further into the lines slashing, stomping, and fighting with them until each and every one of them were turned to shards of black stones
The king sensed something wasn't right from the rumors they had heard of this Dark Army they were supposed to be an impenetrable force to be reckoned with "This was far too easy" He narrowed his eyes down at the black shards
"Your majesty" a fellow soldier called out to him making him turn to see some of the soldiers by a broken carriage "A prisoner"
Caermont walked over and peered inside seeing a women dressed in rags, covered in dirt, and with shackles around her ankles sitting at the far end, she backed away when he tried coming closer "I won't hurt you and neither will any of my men"That helped the lady calm down "What is your name?"
"Arissa" She stuttered
The King was taken a back when she turned to show her face showing she bore a resemblence to his late love Queen Allosa, Arissa reminded him of her beauty and such a resemblance to his love it was no surpise that he would soon marry the young lady after she was rescued from the Dark Army, none of his children objected much Konshen wanted his father to be happy, Oshiana was looking forward to having a motherly figure again, and Ranver because of his young age accepted her almost immediately
The day of the wedding as the servants were preparing Arissa, Oshiana sat close by watching with fascination "Your very beautiful"
"That's kind child, especially when it is said that yours is the true beauty of this kingdom" Oshiana blushed at her words "This war has certainly taken it's toll on you, i too lost my mother at a very young age"
"You bear a resemblance to my mother"
"I know i can never take your mother's place but i feel that we are bound to each other as well as your siblings Konshen and Ranver"
Ranver was put to sleep early that night because he was much too young to stay up late and celebrate with everyone else the new Queen Arissa of Rolasia, He didn't wake up until he was shaken by Oshiana with Konshen standing by the door
"Wake up brother" She continued to shake his arm
"What's going on" He asked until they heard heavy footsteps coming down the hallway of his bed chamber making Oshiana put a hand over his mouth and Konshen reach for the sword on his hip
"Something is wrong" Konshen whispered once the footsteps left
"Where's Father" Ranver asked
"Let's go find him" Oshiana took his hand and led him out of his bed chamber with Konshen in front of them, while they were walking toward their fathers chamber they began hearing the sounds of battle in the palace courtyard causing Ranver to begin to whimper while oshiana tried to comfort him
As the siblings neared their father's chamber Konshen noticed something amiss about it, the doors were left ajar meaning either their father had already gone or someone had already been there "stay here" He told both his siblings then turned to walk to the open door and what he saw would remain in his memory for the rest of his life, his father was laid upright on the bed but had a dagger straight through the middle of his chest a large blood stain cover his shirt and the sheets below him
"Konshen?" Oshiana whispered making him snap out of it so he turned to see them coming to see what he had seen
"Don't" Konshen held a hand out
"What's wrong brother?" Ranver asked with pleading eyes
Konshen grimaced down at his young brother, being only 10 years of age he had already lost their mother and now they had lost their father leaving them orphaned, he turned his gaze to his sister giving her the same look he had given her when their mother had died making her realize that their father was gone too
They began hearing footsteps coming from down the hall making Konshen raise his sword and for Oshiana to wrap her arms tighter around Ranver but once they saw who it was that had come shoak covered all three of their faces. Arissa stood there with soldiers dressed in black armor as Caermont had told Konshen of the battle on the outskirts of the kingdom. Konshen looked back and forth from his father's chamber to Arissa seeing the smirk on her face he knew what she done and immediately turned and grabbed both his siblings by the hands and ran
When they entered the courtyard they were met with a scene of war, the palace guards were doing their best to fend off the palace from the phantom soldiers but as the rumors had said the Dark Army was an impenetrable force, "Get to the gates!" Konshen yelled to Oshiana and Ranver as they ran into the fight to get to the other side of the courtyard. some of the guard's were already fleeing the castle to save what they could and while the siblings were running to the gate Ranver was grabbed from behind by one of the phantom soldiers of the dark army "Let go of me!" He yelled and began trying to get free
Konshen and Oshiana turned and began trying to fight the soldier off their brother "The prince!" some of the gaurd's yelled and came over to help release Ranver managing to turn the phantom soldier into to a pile of stones. Konshen grabbed Ranver into his arms and took Oshiana by the hand and began leading them to the gate but as they neared it proceed to close right in front of them, Oshiana stood dumbfounded until she turned up to the gate controls to see Arissa with one of her soldiers standing by them. She saw Arissa say something to the soldier before heading back into the palace
"Damn it all!" Konshen drove his fist into the steel of the gates until he turned to see them being surrounded by the phantom soldiers and the defeated guard's of the palace being lined up by the doors of the palace
"Bring them to my throne" they heard and turned up to see Arissa on the balcony of the palace "As for the gaurd's" She turned her gaze to Caermont's soldier's "Death by sword" She sentenced before retreating back into the palace
Following her orders the phantom soldiers began protruding their swords through the guard's chests, Oshiana immediately covered Ranver's eyes from the sight until she was grabbed from behind by a soldier "No!" She began protesting
"Release my sister!" Konshen got out his sword but it was knocked out of his hands then he heard another round of protests to see Ranver had been grabbed as well and was being led back into the palace with Oshiana, Konshen tried to fight but was ultimately subdued and led into the palace throne with both his siblings where he glared at the sight of Arissa sitting on what was once his father's throne with his mother Allosa's crown atop her head
"You do not deserve to wear my mother's crown!" Oshiana spat at her
"Is that how you talk to your Queen?" Arissa stood up from the throne and walked over to them, with a wave of her hand black ghostly vines reached up from the floor and trapped them where they sat
"Why are you doing this?" Ranver glared finally stepping up from his did shocked
Arissa smiled cruelly down at the boy and bent down putting her hand around his jaw
"Don't touch my brother!" Konshen was seething on the spot
Arissa only smirked then looked back to Ranver " I have sensed great power within you three since the day i met you, i take it your parents never told you" She was met with frowns from their confused states "Haven't you noticed the particular shade of color in each of your eyes, i suppose your father was waiting until you came of age to tell you of your mythical abilities you possesses" She sensed that whenever the three would touch their power would amplify, the lady knew she was no where near that kind of power but fate was playing in her favor however because none of the three were trained to use their abilities "Your parents wanted you three to be normal children i'm guessing"
"Then our parents only had our best interest at heart or else we would have become nothing but scum like you!" Konshen yelled
"The three of you possess great power within you, if it was properly trained i'm sure you would be able to overthrow my reign and as you know i can't allow that to happen unless you would be willing to join me"
"You killed our father" Oshiana glared "We would never join you!"
"Then i have no choice but to rid you three of this world so you can never be of any danger to my reign" She proceeded to release Ranver first, but at her words he backed away
"Rn brother!" Oshiana yell desperately trying to break free of the vines
Ranver immediately climbed to his feet and turned to run but with another wave of Arissa's hand he seemed to be dragged by mid air and brought to her hands where the she wrapped a hand around his throat and got a dagger out then settled it against the boy's chest "don't worry , this way you shall be reunited with your mother and father" She smirked then began pushing forward on the dagger causing Ranver to yelp
"No!" Konshen broke free from the vines in a burst of blue light and tackled Arissa to the ground causing Ranver to fall, Ranver ran over and broke Oshiana from her confinements as Konshen took the dagger from Arissa and stabbed her with it making her gasp the pain, her head settled back onto the ground and she appeared to be dead so Konshen stood back up panting then looked over to Oshiana and Ranver and walked over pulling them both into a hug where they stood crying and thanking him for protecting them
"How sweet" They turned and stared shocked to see Arissa standing back up and pulling the dagger from her torso, once the blade left her flesh the wound immediately healed itself up "i cannot be killed by these means, don't you think others have already tried" She taunted them making Konshen growl and shield his siblings from her "You shouldn't fight against your death's, it is inevitable"
Konshen growled at her and rushed forward trying to punch her but she easily stepped aside and used her abilities to send a blast throwing him to the ground"It's a shame, You three could have grown so powerful under my rule, You allow your emotions to cloud your judgement that is why i released my humanity a long time ago. and with the comet approaching it shall give my soldiers enormous power to continue my reign to the rest of the kingdom"
"Your a monster!" Ranver growled
Konshen got back up to try and fight Arissa once again just as a bright color began amplifying from the windows, but none of them payed any attention to it as Konshen ran at Arrisa from behind but she could sense his presence coming from behind and did turn just as he reached her driving her dagger into his stomach which protruded through his back!
"No! Konshen!" Oshiana and Ranver ran over to him and grabbed his hands "It's going to be fine!" Oshiana cried looking down to his wound
"B-behind you" Konshen gasped out
"Wha-" Oshiana turned just as Arissa drove the same dagger through her back and that protruded through her chest making her fall to lie along side Konshen, so Arissa did turn her gaze to the last sibling
"Don't right it Ranver" She smile sweetly at the horrified expression on his young face "this is your destiny" She began stepping toward him but his horrified expression turned to anger and with his anger it amplified his abilities causing a huge burst of power to knock Arissa into the back wall "You killed my family!" He cried and began trying to fight her with the raw power he had left
Arissa held back for a moment to allow herself to recover until she combated back and caught hold of him knocking him to the ground "It seems your abilities are powered by your emotions, but that burst of anger seems to have left you drained" with that she finished it by driving the dagger up his rib cage and through the his smiled hearing the boys whimpers of pain then the scream as she pulled the dagger out and threw him across the floor to lay beside his dying siblings
The dark queen turned from the dying sibligs to the large balcony where the comet was in full view, She closed her eyes feeling it's power sink into her skin as it amplified her power and heard the sounds of her phantom armies taking her reign to new heights around the world
"I-i'm sorry sister, brother i couldnt protect you" Konshen gasped out
"It is not your fault brother, no one could have prevented this" Ranver gasped
"We shall see each other again, brothers" Oshiana gasped out her final words
"Until then" They replied as their final words before each of them succumed to their wounds
Arissa suddenly felt a jolt a power that had come after the last breaths of the dying siblings which made her realize she got the power they had when they died, as her gaze was on the burning kingdom below her the lady didn't see the comet was giving a power to the royal siblings and giving them another chance. Konshen and Ranver seemed to glow a faint blueish color while Oshiana began glowing a faint purple color showing lines and patterns across their bodies in different ways until the glow vanished along with their bodies.
The gods of Rolasia had watched the scene before them with sadden eyes, the dark queen Arissa had successfully assassinated the royal siblings with her dagger, none of the three were properly trained in their abilities and had no chance to defend themselves against her power. Without the three royal siblings they knew that there was no power left in the kingdom that would be able to stand against Arissa's reign
"We cannot allow for her reign to continue" one of the gods started their debate on how to stand against Arissa's reign
"She has already annihilated the strongest sorcerers in the land, the only ones strong enough were Rolosia's royal family but each of them have already passed to the afterlife"
"Perhaps there is a way for them to return and fight to overthrow Arissa"
"They have already passed"
"Yes but they have been given a gift by Nurare's comet, as you know it gives sorcerers more power and in their passing the comet gave Konshen, Oshiana, and Ranver the gift of reincarnation"
The others had noticed the strange glow that had come from their bodies just before their bodies vanished
"There's is something else, When Konshen and his sibling passed the power they had transferred to Arissa, She will soon learn of the gift they were given and with her reinforcements she will hunt each of them down before they are able to grow powerful enough to fight"
"We should send them away, it will make it harder for Arissa to find them"
"What are you suggesting?"
"Konshen, Oshiana, and Ranver should begin their new lives in a separate dimension, they should be born apart from each other we have seen the power they can possess when they are near each other they could cause real damage without even knowing it"
"That is a valorous idea, they shall remember their past lives eventually and shall locate each other, perhaps one day they can gain control of their power and learn the ways of dimensional travel to return and reclaim their kingdom"
"It is settled, Konshen, Oshiana, and Ranver shall be transported to another dimension to train and learn of ways to grow stronger, one day they shall return to save their people from Arissa's reign"
"I have located an exceptional dimension with life similar to ours on a planet in the north quadrant hath called earth, it will suite for three of Rolasia's citizens"
"Very well, begin the process"
