Chapter 1: Scavian Unity
Surksha came as a normal robber, but sided with the strongest faction of the split country. The 'Death and Chaos' it was called, and it had over one hundred thousand members. All of who were wonderful fighters. Surksha proved he was an excellent fighter, and rose to the top of the faction. Once at the top, he worked at having his soldiers overtake and unite with the other factions. This worked well, and it only took ten years until all the factions were united. The only problem was, they still stole and disliked one another. Surksha set up a police immediately after hearing of the problem, and in five more years, Scavia was entirely united into an empire with Surksha as the whole leader. After Scavia united, it started mass-producing weapons and armor as well as soldiers. It also paid more attention to economy, to not steal from the Lutranians any more. Upon hearing of the soldiers being made, Lutrania was alarmed, but did not take any action. Slowly battle would be taking soon.
July 20th, Year 58 B.A. (Before Apocalypse, but Lutranians labeled it as E.A. economy age), Scavian Castle
Surksha stood silent by himself in the thrown room of the Scavia castle. He was waiting for his scout to report on the numbers of his army, for he was about ready to invade. Clad in red, adamantine armor, Surksha looked impressive. Especially with the special sword he held, the Demon Saber, the weapon he bore when he came to Scavia. His muscular body gave off the impression that he was a very experienced fighter, and the skeletons hung up in his closet showed so. A long black cape with a skeleton emblem on the back was on his shoulders, and it drooped to the ground, waving every now and then when Surksha's feet hit the ground. Soon the scout came, bearing the info that Surksha wanted. This scout wore light leather armor, and steel, small, two foot-long shortsword.
Scout: "Sir, we have 1 Million troops. We are prepared for invasion, for we need the territory to add to our desolate place."
Surksha: "Good, prepare for invasion. I want a complete surprise attack, so no mistakes. Move swiftly and quietly, sneak around, and surround the Lutranian village of Ridocia. When you surround it, begin besieging it, once the village is captured, raze it, and continue. Allow no one from the village to escape, we do not want them knowing that it was we who attacked until it is too late. Go now!"
Scout: "Sir, yes sir!"
Surksha: "And Felix, do not fail me now. I will see to it that you are clad in armor and made the loyal squire to the supreme knight of the Scavian forces. Meet Trestic, the knight!"
Surksha snapped his fingers, and a gruesome figure walked out of the shadows. A large, broad-muscled, six foot six inch man walked out, clad in armor. His helmet was off, showing his young face, yet fierce eyes, fierce with the fiery of war. He had short black hair, and deep, azure blue eyes. Adamantine platemail was on him, covering up his muscles, but still giving the impression his muscles were bulgy as you could almost see them through the armor. A large, Adamantine, two-handed sword he held his one right hand, showing his muscles. Surksha smiled for a second, and drew his own sword.
Surksha: "Isn't he magnificent? He is my own personal knight; the second in command, the only one strong enough to make me break a sweat but still win."
Felix: "Prove it to me then, please."
Surksha: "Fine, it is always nice to have a good fight, eh Trestic?"
Trestic: "Indeed it is, friend. Let us dance with our blades!"
Surksha: "Sure, go first."
Immediately the practice duel started. Trestic proved amazingly fast for his size with all his armor on. He swung his sword once, then twice, then thrice towards Surksha's ribs. Of course, since they were wearing adamantine armor, Surksha could just let the blade bounce off his armor like Trestic might to his, but of course for the like of it he blocked them. Surksha blocked them all, stopping the combo in its tracks, then throwing two slashes at Trestic's knees. Trestic caught both, but the amazing speed that made Surksha seem like a master with the sword caused Trestic to break a sweat. After the two blocks, Trestic jumped and front- flipped over Surksha's head, attempting a jab at the back of Surksha's ribs. Surksha caught the attempt short, with a simple blade block behind him. Trestic sweated yet again, as he nearly dodged a five-slash combo attempt by Surksha. Trestic moved once again for the slashes, and threw an awesome ten-slash combo at Surksha. Surksha stepping back dodged the first three easily. The next two were blocked by Surksha's sword, and then the other five landed on Surksha's armor, causing sweat to drip from Surksha's armor. His armor had a large dent in it now, but it could be fixed. For now, he just simply returned with a large blow attempted at Trestic's sword. The blow was so fierce and slashed hard, that Trestic's sword was hit and thrown into the air, landing and piercing a rock nearby. Trestic ran over to reach his sword, but the fight was over.
Surksha: "See? Trestic is an excellent warrior, but of course, I can still beat him. He is the best human warrior, but I am the best dem-"
Felix interrupted.
Felix: "Human warrior? Who or what are you then?!"
Surksha had cold sweat dropping from his face, but Felix did not notice.
Surksha: "O-oh. That was a slip of the tongue, my bad."
Felix: "Oh ok, just sounded odd, must have been my imagination."
Surksha sighs as Felix walks away, only Trestic knows about him being a demon. He paid Trestic a lot and taught him in the art of the sword for the exchange of Trestic not telling anyone. Trestic comes up from behind Surksha, and looks down at the demon warrior.
Trestic: "That was close. This time, it was not me who nearly slipped up."
Surksha: "Well it is good he did not get to know. Only you and I know fortunately, and I would like to keep it at that. You may go now Trestic, prepare for war."
Trestic: "Yes, my king."
Trestic follows the scout to the armory, and Surksha smiles evilly to himself.
Surksha: "It is good they do not know my true, true plans and that I am a Demon Overlord, not some normal demon. Better keep my good cover going though, even to Trestic. Soon, all the good Paladins will be out of the way and I will rule the entire Tyundia continent! I will be unstoppable! HAHAHA!!!"
