Kuroinu: The Rebellion Prologue
This is my response to Wimblegurk Brigade's challenge. I've opted to take the Noble route as for which version of it I've decided to take the knight squire route. Since this is a hentai series I'm taking the traditional harem route. Whether or not Claudia joins is still something I'm thinking over. I don't own Kuroinu or it's characters (minus any and all OC's) in anyway, shape, or form. Well without further to do…...
This world of ours was made up of a single continent… but this continent, Austia, was the home of many different races of all shapes and sizes; Humans, Elves, Demi-humans, and of course Demons. Many of these beings existed in peace but the outlands of the north were the home of the evilest and most grotesque Demons, the kind that ever since they were born were hated by all other forms of life.
These demons would cause much death and destruction where ever they went; defiling and corrupting the bodies of the innocent, taking their livestock. These were only a few of the countless atrocities they committed… and they rejoiced in it. Hostilities eventually came to a head when a dark fortress called "The Black Fort" was suddenly created several hundred centuries ago at the border of the outlands without any word of warning.
Everything within the periphery of the fortress was corrupted and destroyed. The once fertile land was turned into a massive wasteland by the same black magic that created the fortress in the span of a single night. There was no such thing as day or night, the sky was as crimson as freshly spilt blood, the air was corrupted with poisonous gas, the land became so barren no plant dared to grow in it, and finally the crystal clear waters of its lakes and rivers became murky, inhospitable swamps.
This land was ruled by a single beautiful Dark Elf who ruled from within the fortress. It was due to her that the area around the fortress came to be known as "the land of the Black Queen." The demonic beings and creatures that lived there were given great power by the residual dark magic and took great advantage of their new found strength by attacking the various lands that surrounded the fortress. To counter this rising threat the various countries that had become victim to these attacks entered into an alliance with each other.
Seven great fortresses were constructed around the marshes within the span of a month's time; The haste was due to one reason. The High Elves had predicted long ago that their goddess would be reborn as a High Elf girl, Celestine Lucullus. The girl that she was reborn as had predicted the fortress' sudden appearance and the crisis it would create sooner than anyone else and was deemed holy by the Church.
Warriors from all over assembled in response to the Elves call to unity. Celestine was placed in charge of one fortress while the other six countries in the alliance each called for their greatest warrior to lead the other fortresses. Six women stepped up in response; Princess knights Alicia Arcturus and Prim Fiorire, Shrine Maiden Kaguya, Leader of the mercenaries Maia, The Demi-human child prodigy Lou Lou, and the greatest knight of the great Levantain family Claudia Levantain.
These seven women were the greatest hope of the races of Austia.
A/N
I had to pause and re-watch a few of the first episode's dialogue to write this although there were a few parts I added myself. Like the title says this is just the prologue to help set the mood. My OC will appear in the next chapter.
