Chapter 1: From the Ashes , Reborn in darkness
Once upon a time, in a World of foul beasts and dangerous foes. A world that goes by the ironic name of Sanctuary that existed in between the infernal lands of the Burning Hells, the home of the Evils, Prime and Lesser, and their kind, and the High Heavens,a place where the Archangels and their subjects resided and ruled. The events that occurred and are going to be told in this tale started in the lands of the northwest of Sanctuary, the So-called Dreadlands, otherwise known as the Badlands, and formerly known as the Northern Steppes.
But the Dreadlands, an arid accumulation of deserts, oasis and the usual characteristical lands of dry and rough territories wasn't like that the entire time, the event that happen to change the Northern Steppes into the Dreadlands occurred 3 years before the start of our history.
Mount Arreat, the Highest mountain of Sanctuary, in the middle of the Barbarian territory, home to the Worldstone, the Mythical artifact used by the rogue Angel named Inarius and the Demon named Lilith in the very creation of Sanctuary and later used by Inarius to lower and repress the inborn powers of the Nephalem, the original Human race that populated Sanctuary in its beginning, was being invaded by the Prime Evil Baal, the Lord of Destruction and the Middle sibling of the three Prime Evils ,the Lord of Hate Mephisto being the oldest and the Lord of Terror Diablo the youngest ,both defeated by another group of heroes and imprisoned in magical artifacts called the Soulstones, whose purpose was to corrupt the Worldstone in order to use its mythical powers to control the repressed inner power of Humanity to add it to his own horde of Demons to tip the balance of the Eternal War between the Burning Hells and the High Heavens in the Demon's favor and that way, Baal would rule all the creation.
And yet this purpose was proved wrong when Baal was defeated by a band of Heroes in the top of Mount Arreat, right in the Worldstone chamber. however, Baal had already corrupted the Worldstone completely, and Archangel Tyrael, Aspect of Justice and member of the Angiris Council ,ruling body of the High Heavens had to destroy it, as it would've drained the Sanctuary of its powers and allow the hosts of hell to spill forth into the mortal realm.
But the destruction of such powerful and ancient artifact produced a backlash explosion that made Mount Arreat become Arreat Crater and making the Dreadlands what they are now.
But our real tale starts in a small town of the Dreadlands, when a certain baby was born to a family of farmers and completely normal people, the current state of the Dreadlands makes for a very hard living and yet this people of this village tries to make the most of it working hard and surviving each hard day.
The Saross, a family of 3 members, that recently upped its number to 4 with the newest addition to the family on the form of a little baby girl named Shae to join the already 4 year old Halissa.
The little baby girl was born to the woman Sarah and her husband Davyd, being their second daughter. Sarah as a mother was very dedicated and managed to hold her family together, and get it fed every day by collecting crops and such. It was not very easy considering the state of the land, but her husband Davyd was also very supportive and did the heavy lifting usually on things. The two were very much in love and happy, even if the times were hard.
Davyd was a tall and handsome man, or so Sarah at least thought. He had a short brown hair, rough hands as expected on a farmer and grey eyes. Whereas Sarah was a bit shorter than her husband, she had a long black hair, light blue eyes, pale skin and a petite body. She was also quite wanted amongst the men, but Davyd had stolen her heart long ago. Halissa had a long brown hair, and dark green eyes. As the time passed, Shae had a short raven black hair, pale skin and grey eyes.
6 Years passed by and things were great within the family. However, this is when the truly dark days arrived to the village.. This one dark day, happened when Davyd was out and Sarah was watching after the children. Shae was 7 years old now, and Halissa 10.
It was a dark evening, neither the sun, nor the moon could be seen as the sky was clouded, a thick mist formed up and the view was limited. Many of the villagers were outside their homes, wondering what this strange weather was all about. Torches were lit, yet they did not appear to bring any light to the dark land. One of the villagers shouted: "It's probably nothing to worry about!".
Turns out those were his last words as well.. Just a few seconds afterwards a huge beast leaped from the mist towards the villagers, completely unaware he was torn into bits of flesh and feasted upon by this great beast. Most villagers stood there shaken and shocked beyond belief at their neighbour being sliced and torn into several pieces by the beast while the mist still extended through the village, other beasts ,some humanoid ,some purely beast-like, all of them feral and aggressive started to get out the mist launching themselves at the closest villagers still standing still on their position biting them, shredding them to fragments painting the dry terrain of the Dreadlands with the red of the villager's blood
This event happen to burst the paralysis of the villager's shock making them try to outrun the beasts. Shocked, Davyd holds his pitchfork high as a beast leaps on him, managing to stick his fork inside the beast's stomach, falling to the ground as the beast is quite heavy. The exhausted Davyd says: "What is this monstrosity!" while the beast is impaled on top of him. The beast howls in pain, blood pouring from its wound. With all his strength, Davyd pushes the beast off him, leaving his pitchfork inside its stomach and starts to run in terror towards his home.
However, Davyd was taken by surprise from his flank by another beast, this time it held a giant mace and swung it at him. A girl looks from the window and watches as her father is struck by the giant mace, his body getting mauled from his left side, the beast keeps on smashing him. The girl, Shae screams: "Noo! Papa!" Shae and Halissa both start to cry, some tears can be seen on Sarah's face as well, but she tries to hide it.
"Go.. To the hidden path in the cellar, quickly now!" says Sarah. Both of the girls shocked, they start to move towards a hidden hatch on the floor and opens it up. Shae goes first, opening the hatch and climbing down, pointing at her sister: "Come! Sis!".
A huge sound can be heard as if a door came crashing down. Sarah starts to scream, she is torn into pieces by something that the poor girl could not see, blood flying at Halissa's face, she shivers in great shock. A huge stomping can be felt, and Halissa is slammed at by a steel weapon of some kind. Shae is devastated by fear, losing her grip of the stairs' handles and falls to the ground, the hatch slamming shut. Shae fell unconscious, minutes flew by.
She woke up in a very dark tunnel, still deeply terrorized by what happened to her family. She slowly started to wander the tunnel about, trying to find a way out, crying and thinking about the horrible deaths and scenes that she just witnessed.
