The Beginning: Story 1

King William, Priest Monick, and Kain went ahead to greet the visitors from Halassar. They stopped in front of a few Halassar guards that seemed to be guarding a chariot. The chariot was crested in gold and pulled by a team of unique creatures that resample dragons. A muscular man bigger then any other of the guards stepped of his horse and walked over to the three Nosgoths.

King William: "Welcome visitors from Halassar, welcome to my kingdom of Nosgoth. You must be Taurgis, the queen's champion. I have heard that you're the brother of Azraman II, ruler of Galdyr."

Taurgis: (Hesitating a few seconds) "Yes, but with due respect please speak of it not. Any forth, King of Nosgoth, we have traveled a longs way to bring these children. Her grace has too accompanied us on our journey here to Nosgoth."

Voice: (coming from the chariot) "Taurgis, will you please finish up."

Taurgis: (Mumbling to himself first) "With faith and valor, I welcome you the royalty of Halassar."

Out of the chariot a woman with a white hooded-robe emerged. Her figure was stunning that even Kain and Williams were left unwillingly speechless. Her long hair was in a deep purple and smoother then silk. She had this diamond shaped orb on her forehead; also across her stomach and navel, the mark of Lahara was indented. Following closely was a tortuously tall and thick man with white hair, much like many inhabitants of Azarath. He wore golden armor with powerful red marks that were unlike any of Azarath writings. A red flame of a cape that dragged across the floor as he exited was connected to his shoulder armor.

King William: "Ah Arella; Queen of Halassar, Goddess Reborn, you honor us with your presence." (Looking at the man next to her.) "I believe we haven't formally met, please inform me."

Kain: (Instantly) "Trigon, he his to be wed to her grace."

A smile brightly but yet mysteriously emerged from Trigon's face as he eyed Kain who was eyeing him also. There was something oddly mysterious about Trigon and Kain as they stared at each other, almost as if communicating through mind.

Priest Monick: (Curiously) "Is that who he be. Strange, as I recall it, Sparda was the ruler of Halassar alongside with your grace."

Trigon averted his attention towards the elder priest, frowning.

Trigon: "Yes well, Sparda's disappearance was shocking for us all. It seems that demon plans to terrorize more then he contributes. Why old man, you seem to praise Sparda even though he's right now battling for reasons unknown."

Arella: "Trigon, darling, be not so rude towards him. He's a very wise servant of the gods, he has much respect."

Trigon: (Snorting) "I do not see why."

Arella swiftly changing the subject, she realized in great pain how even Sparda's name brought burden.

Arella: "Great King William; I have brought my children, as well as another child, to be taken in as apprentices by your priests. Respected Priest Monick and Priest Kain, I appreciate you taken them under your wing." (Turning to the chariot.) "Sudama Kir, please bring them out."

An aging woman stepped out of the chariot, her wardrobe was a red dress with gold encrusted giving her appearance to be superior. Her hair was in a unique style as well as here skin which was painted gold all through her body.

Sudama Kir: "Come along young ones."

After her three children roughly the age nine or ten, stepped out. The first child that emerged was that of Krondos and Starlon. He had piercing black eyes and rather short silver hair that resembled his fathers in his Non-Demon form. He wore a purple royal robe and wardrobe, this gives cense that his mother was now wealth. Then next two to come out were the twins of Arella and Sparda. Both had long hair that reached their lower back and were in dreadlocks. They were evenly the same height with exact blue and green royal wardrobe provided by their wealth. Yet one child had long black hair with frightening burning red eyes while the other had long purple hair and wondrously strong blue calm eyes. As the three of them made their way in front of the Nosgoths a small youngling about 2, jumped out of the chariot and waddled to. Sudama Kir laughed at the little one as she picked it up and headed to put him inside the chariot.

Sudama Kir: "Now, now little Henri. You can't follow in your brothers footprints now."

The three children line up first with the blue-eyed twin, then the silver hair boy, and finally the red eyed twin. Sudama Kir followed them shortly and stood in front of them all.

Sudama Kir: "Recite your names children."

Child 1: "Virgil Atizma"

Child 2: "Rensten Oronimanc"

Child 3: "Shaggalon Atizma"

Henir: (From inside the chariot) "Henri Owon…eeima..ncc"

The two high priest laughed as the little child struggled with his last name. After recovering, Kain stared at Shaggalon deeply. There was something about him that Kain found so pleasing and favorable.

Kain: "May I recall your name as Shaggy in short?"

Shaggy: (Shrugging) "I care not."

Taurgis: "Should be a handful with that one, He's a strictly proud and stubborn one."

Kain smiled and looked back at Shaggy. Rensten was laughing quietly underneath his breath at the boy next to him. Shaggy's ears heard the insulting laughter coming out of his friend.

Shaggy: "Pray tell me what's so funny?"

Rensten: "With your unholy attitude, the gods will desecrate you from their sight's."

Shaggy: "Don't mock me, unless you can say it with a cracked jaw."

Sudama Kir: "Hold your tongues!"

Taurgis trails towards Rensten and Shaggy, flicking them both rather hardly on their head. Vigil started to slowly break into laughter at seeing the two boys rub their heads. As his reward, Taurgis slapped him on the back of the head.

Taurgis: "Be respectful children!"

Priest Monick: "That was unnecessary but thank you Taurgis. Now children in your stay here at the Sarafan Priesthood of Gods, you will become respected and honored priests for the Gods. Kain and Myself will intensely become your mentors for then next few years until you are full blooded priests". (Turning toward Arella and Trigon) "Your children will be probably taken cared for, meantime your should start focusing more on your prophecy."

Arella: "Thank you. Now children, be reasonably good and respectful. This is a great honor that's usually not bestowed on Azarathians that are not from Nosgoth."

Trigon: "Time will pass, we will see you in a few years."

Virgil smiled and bowed while Shaggy snorted at Trigon's attempts in becoming a father figure. Virgil was respectful toward everyone but he disliked the man his mother was marrying. There was a disturbance with in Trigon that caused disorder everywhere he appears. Both three boy's fathers disappeared two years ago without anyone having knowledge where they went. Krondos disappearance was quite mysterious since he vanished without any warning. Sparda on the other hand left since he craved power and was sick of working for the gods. He and Arella fought before he left her standing in tears at the Gates of Halassar. By now Kain had retrieved three other children from the huge temple and led them toward the three newly accepted priests.

Kain: "These are one of are best priest students. They have been here since they were infants. Children, be kind to introduce yourselves to our new inhabitants of the temple." Two were boys that were the same age but the girl seemed to be a year younger. All were in velvety purple robes except they weren't as artistically designed as that of Monick. The two boys look average with one white and the other black hair. One seemed to be more rounder then the other one who was an average build for his age. The young girl had rather short blonde hair that was to her chin yet she seemed very shy.

Priest Child 1: "Melchian"

Priest Child 2: "Zephon"

Priest Child 3: "Lurnda"

Rensten looked at Lurnda in a bright face and winked at her. Her face became a bright red as she looked away toward rest of the visitors.

King Willam: "Your grace must be exhausted from the journey. We would be honored if you and your men could rest for some time."

Arella: That would sound just lovely, Taurgis please……..

As Arella turned to call Taurgis, she spotted someone that caused her to freeze in place. Surdama Kir rushed to her side, fearing that something might be wrong. As she looked where her queen was staring, she gasped. On a hill a dark character stood on a black horse with armor. Soon everyone was staring at him, for the man was Sparda.
