Chapter 1
The Beginning
I and my brother were working the noodle shop the day our village was burned down. Business was normal same customers, same orders, and same thing for the past 5 months. I went downstairs to get bowls while my brother worked the counter. While downstairs my tattoos that were on my body when I was born were glowing bright red. Then I got dizzy and I guess I passed out. When I awoke I was in a swamp to find my village ablaze. My brother woke me up. I shouted what happened. He just said I will tell you later. When we met safety he said there was a huge explosion in the basement I was in the center of it. He said my veins were pulsing and my tattoos were glowing.
We ran away a little further before we were hit in the face with wooden swords. When we awoke we were in a trap. A voice said I have been watching you and your brother and you were not the one who caused the explosion. You two are special you have the Shadow Mark. You can use it for good or for bad. I want you to use it for good but it's up to you. I and my bother can "read" each other's minds so we decide to pick good. He let the trap go and said this is a long path. You both need patience. We began with simple Martial Arts. It was easy for me to pick it up but my brother was a little slow. After a few hours we meditated. Are master never told us his name but he said we need to be two steps ahead of our enemy. He said once he was done training us we would no one's attack before they do it. After 5 long years are master gave us legendary swords. I got the Dragon's Blade. This sword has an oddly-formed blade of a gold color, with dragons and zigzags engraved on it. Its grip is formed like a dragon. My brother got Sky's Knife. His sword has a blade with a blue hue to it. Its grip is of a blue metal set with rubies. The pommel bears a series of amethysts. I have to admit I was a little jealous but master showed me my blades power. It was called Savage Slice of Dragon Souls. Master set down a dummy and said when I was ready say Infamous Bane. I shouted that and the blade set on fire but it did not hurt. Master said I was a dragon warrior which meant I was full of raw dark energy and fire. He said jump so I did. I flipped five times. The blade made me slice down with force of five dragons which split the dummy and cracked the ground. Now it was my brothers turn. Master said say Wind Spans. He said it and boy did he fly. He started floating and then the blade grew wings and sliced the dummy about six times before it split into pieces. Master said he was and air and water warrior. Then he taught me five spells. Dragon's Blast of Fire, Summon Legendary Dragon, Four Sorceries of Fire, Sylvan Working of Alteration, and Drakes' Darkness Web. He taught my brother five spells too. Casting of Shocking Absorption, Call Eagles, Witchery of Conjure Lightning, Yellow Gauntlets of Energy, and Massive Nets of Waterwalking. He gave us armor too. After another five years of training he said we were ready for our first quest. He took us to a field and said come back with the six pieces of the Unspeakable Crystal of Shadows. He gave my brother full armor called, Steel Armor of The Lightning God and Spectral Screaming Shield of Cursed Water Wall. I got Dragon's Iron Mail of Teleportation and Disrupting Fiery Shield. He gave us a map and disappeared.
