Legend: Rising Evil
By: GravediggersATL
The second installment tells the story of the evil being from chapter 1. Ashi is more than just what meets the eye. He is somehow bound to Airesu for eternity. How and why he and Airesu are connected is for you to figure out…:
A cloaked man walked through the Hidden Village of the Sand. Not much to his surprise, he got more than a couple of stares. He followed a young man into a particularly quite area, and awaited his chance to strike. The young man he was following turned quickly, and tossed a few kunai at the cloaked figure, but he was long gone. He appeared in front of the man, and lifted him up by the throat, "You dare attack me? You really wish to die, don't you?" "My name is Ashi. Many people pity me for my life… Fools! I don't need their pity, or anyone else's for that matter. 1,021 years I was sealed… NOW I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" Ashi's body burned with a black aura, as he bit the man's neck, and devoured his very spirit.
1021 Years Ago
A mob marches through the street of a torn village. Every man, woman, and child armed with weapons, pitchforks, and torches. To the far side of town they marched, and approached a lone child. This child stared through the crowd, at a woman. It was an icy stare, which pierced her heart, almost as if to curse someone. "He's a monster! Kill him! We don't except darklings like you here!" This was what some of the crowd shouted in anger. The woman started to cry, "Ashi… my dear son… I'm so sorry" She broke down, as an elder stepped forward, and began to cast a seal spell. Ashi, recognizing this spell, raised his hands. Several people are knocked away by an unseen force.
As Ashi fights the mob off, the elder continues to cast the seal. As the moon reaches its highest point, lightning starts to fall. Ashi keeps fighting. The elder finished the seal, and a green symbol appeared under Ashi's feet. He fell to his knees, as he was sealed, and faded into the darkness.
1,021 years later
A bright flash falls from the sky and strikes where Ashi was sealed. The green mark re-appeared, but instead of the young kid that was there before, now stands a young man. He rears back, and breaks the seal, "Finally… after all this time… I will be able to get my revenge" He stepped forward. It was almost as if he had condemned the world, for the second he stepped out of his seal, it began to storm. The world… was crying…
2 Years Later
Ashi stood in the mechanical menace that was his base. Churning gears surrounded him. One of the members of his crew stepped forward, "Sir, we are ready to begin the assault on the Supiritto village!"
Ashi cracked his knuckles, "The four elements are held there, correct? I don't need to draw any… unnecessary attention…" Solders line up at the gate, and prepared to move out. Ashi gives the signal, and the solders charge out of the gates.
Yes, it's still kind of short, but that's because I am giving a brief back story of the two main characters. Chapter 3 will be much longer. Believe it! Lol… See you next time!
