The Prologue

It was said that whoever was able to obtain the Four Jewels of the Element they would be able to gain power beyond anything imaginable. Years ago a powerful demon came over from the continent looking for the jewels to enhance his power and rule all the lands with an iron fist and he nearly succeeded. His name was Aeroth.

Aeroth ruled the southern provinces with an complete authority. His generals commanding his seemingly infinite army his reign was almost absolute until he was challenged by 4 warriors from the north who came to stop his reign of terror and to free the people.

Even with the four jewels in his possession Aeroth was defeated. His army was scattered and he along with his generals were sealed away in a special Pandora's box and hurled to the furthest reaches of Japan. The warriors lived out their lives and eventually surrendered their weapons and armour to a head monk at his temple to be given to those who would be their descendants should Aeroth ever return. The jewels were kept, safeguarded by the temple until further notice. Everyone though the times of war were over, they were wrong.

100 years later

"It has to be here something" a voice called out

"Here. Over here. I believe I found it" another voice yelled out

The moon was beginning to peak through the clouds and the ground illuminated the way for the two men. Before them was a cave. The cave had to be no deeper than 100 feet deep and a faint light could be seen as the moon shone overhead.

"I has to be in there. Lord Aeroth's box must be in that cave"

"It seems this place was the near perfect hideout for this box. Up here in these mountains far away from anybody and especially with demons lurking around each corner"

The other man laughed "Well those demons will have a lot to fear once we released our Lord"

The two men began to move into the cave slowly. The rocks were damp yet still sharp enough to cut flesh if one fell. Carefully they made their way to the bottom and to their amazement was the box atop a pedestal with the moon shinning overtop through a makeshift skylight. "Ah it's here" one man said "We will be rewarded beyond our wildest dreams"

Both men cautiously walked up to the alter their hearts racing. They were about to come face to face with a demon that would bring their province back to order. The first man looked over the box that was sealed with 10 sacred parchments and began to peal them off until he got to the last one. "This is it" he exclaimed. The man pulled the last seal off and the box opened up with such force it threw the men to the ground at the bottom of the alter. It shed a light throughout the cave and shadows began to expel from the box until Aeroth stood before them. Behind him were his big four generals but they were covered in darkness. The light subsided and the two men were looking at him frightened.

Aeroth was 25 in appearance. He stood 6'3" 200 pounds and fit. His skin was almost a pale white. His hair was a light shade of brown that was tied into a ponytail and dropped to the middle of his back. His eyes were blood red and his face was rugged yet calm in ways. Below his right eye were two red triangles facing downwards. He wore traditional samurai armour but minus the shoulder and leg pieces. The armour was black with red ties and was a unique armour blend that protected him from any arrow or sword. Along his left said was his sword, the Soruhasai. It was rumour that his sword was forged from a large diamond encrusted meteor that fell to earth many years ago.

Aeroth let out a big sigh "Oh it is good to be out of that dreadful box" he said joyfully. He looked around the cave until to came across the two men trembling before him. He pointed at the two men "You two. How long have we've been sealed away?".

"It has been almost a hundred years my lord"

"A hundred years. Has it truly been that long? Then that would mean ha-ha those that sealed me away are long dead. And the jewels? Where are they?"

"We do not know my lord. All we know from stories is that they were along with the weapons of those that imprisoned you were entrusted to a temple somewhere in the north" one man said

Aeroth looked down at his feet then back to the two men. He walked down the steps until he was then standing in front of the two men "Gentlemen, please stand up" he nicely asked "For your assistance in releasing myself as well as my generals you two will be greatly rewarded". The two men stopped shaking almost immediately and big smiles grew across their faces.

"What kind of reward my lord?" they asked

"Heh funny you should ask" replied Aeroth who pulled his sword from his sheath and cut the two men across their stomachs. They stood there motionless looking down at their bodies then back at Aeroth. Soon though their torsos separated from their lower halves. Aeroth turned around and flicked the bloody off his sword and put it back into its sheath "Your reward gentlemen is eternity in the netherworld ha-ha-ha-ha. Now my generals there are 4 jewels our there that used to belong to me. Lets go get them back"

With quick flash of light Aeroth and his generals disappeared from the cave and began their search for the jewels.
