Pretext: This is the story of Chu Sin, an officer in the Shai Army. Let us watch as his life unfolds through his memories…
A woman's voice speaks.
"So tell me… How did it all begin?"
Chapter one: Fall of the Demon.
"It all started one night long long ago… I can still remember that night like it was merely yesterday…"
Flashback.
There's a man wearing armor that covers his entire body and hides all of his features, the armor is smooth and has no features itself making him seem entirely mysterious. The man is wielding a massive fiery red ten foot long ancient looking fullblade, which is dripping shiny crimson drops of fresh blood from its most recent victims. The nice sapphire blue tile floor and the decorative wildflower wallpaper around the man are skewered and splattered with the blood of the men, women, and children who once lived in this nicely kept castle, their bodies now lay upon the crimson stained ground.
He looks upon what must be the last fighter in his way from achieving his goal of slaying all who lived in the castle, he laughs maniacally as he looks upon the fragile looking female fighter. She looks to be about twenty, she has what must be little to no muscle on her. She has soft sapphire blue eyes, and long elegant platinum blonde hair, she wears a long elegant sapphire blue dress, and wields a large dragon like pike, covered in diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. The teeth are made of ivory and the blade of the pike starts out of the dragon's mouth and ends one foot after that. The blade of the pike is dull and looks as if it can't cut even a delicate strand of hair.
"I shall stop you!" She bravely stands in a defensive pose, holding here weapon readying to counter an attack.
He sees this and starts to charge at her screaming, "You can't hope to defeat me!" He brings his full blade down upon her and she moves to the side dodging his blade, as it smashing into the ground sending small shards of tile up from the impact. She then brings her pike up along the side of his helm and knocks it off of his head revealing his face.
He has a scarless face, with short crimson hair that flares out in all directions, there's a blood red stone in the middle of his forehead, and he has a rough curved nose, smooth looking lips, sharp crimson red eyes that are filled with rage and astonishment.
For it had been a long time since someone had even hit him, he stared at her for a moment and at her battle pose, he knew that she was no normal fighter and that he may have to actually be careful.
"You're the first in a long time to remove my helmet; you shall have the honor of knowing my name before you die." He raises his blade and readies it in a defensive pose; she keeps her pike in a defense pose and calmly speaks.
"You will not be the one to slay me and my father." He smiles an evil smile and readies his weapon for another strike, bringing it high into the air.
"I am Yami Sin; ready yourself, for this will be the final strike!" He brings his full blade down again at a much faster speed this time, she dodges to the side then strikes her pike into the ground pushing herself into the air as he brings his blade under her looking quite annoyed that she evaded yet again.
She lands on the ground softly smirking at him.
"You're good… but not as good as me. You may be strong and have incredible speed, but you lack the mind power to even think about hitting me."
The mirror behind her shifts and starts to move, there standing behind the mirror is a man wearing sapphire blue lord's robes, he has long silvery gray hair, and soft eyes that have seen many battles but keep their strong and caring look in them. Yami Sin looks over at him and grins. He knows that this is the lord of this castle and now that he's here he does not have to spend countless hours trying to find him.
"So you must be Chu Chu, the lord of this castle." The woman looks over at her father with an annoyed look.
"Father, why are you risking your life? I can deal with this foe!" He merely looks at her, smiles, and then looks back over at Yami Sin.
"Yes, I am Chu Chu, but I am not the true lord of this castle. However I wish to make a deal with…" The woman gets in the way, as Yami Sin brings down his fullblade, trying to strike him down. He fails, though as it hits her pike, and their weapons lock. Chu Chu speaks as they hold their weapons, trying to overpower each other.
"Yami Sin, if you can defeat my daughter, Chu Naia, in combat then this castle shall be yours. But if she defeats you then you shall shed your old name and join anew in the Shai army." Chu Naia growls angrily at what her father has said.
"Father how could you risk this all on me?" She's starting to push back and overpower Yami Sin, but he growls and tries to hold his ground.
"Fine, if I win this will be the start of my new empire!" She sighs and pushes back hard, as he stumbles back, she starts to glow softly as she starts spinning her pike.
"I shall not be defeated!" She brings the blunt end of her pike up against his armor, this stuns him and her pike flies up into the air. She then pulls her arms back to her sides and start punching him over and over again rapidly at different parts of his body.
He flinches after every blow, feeling her punches even through his armor. As the gem on his head starts cracking he realizes that she has great strength. Her pike starts to fall from the air and she jumps up, catches it, and brings in down along his armor, shattering it and revealing his old blood stained leather jerkin. He kneels on the ground, breathing heavily as the gem on his forehead shatters. His eyes then grow blank and Yami Sin falls to the ground unconscious, his fullblade beside him.
