William Black stomped his foot down on the top of Mount Ruon, the tallest mountain in Albion. He had been climbing the mountain for nearly three days, and for three days he battled against the piercing wind and freezing cold that could only come from being so high up. William climbed the mountain in search of one thing—the Court. The Court was made up of three beings from the Void, of which William must destroy in order to save Albion from it's evil clutches.
William pulled the sword out of it's metal sheath on his back, and grasped the Sword of Aeons in his hand. It was a dark and deadly blade, and yet a blade made of pure beauty. The hilt had a symbol which would one day become the symbol of the Guild of Heroes. The Sword emanated a feeling of evil, but it would help William defeat the Court and complete his quest, at a price. William's soul belonged to the Sword of Aeons now.
William held the sword tightly in his right hand, and with a loud and clear voice, he called out to the mountain tops and the heavens above. "Hear me, oh three of the Court! Hear me, thy foul and evil beasts from the Void! Hear me, and accept my challenge!"
After speaking, the earth trembled violently, and an indescribable voice louder than everything else answered William. "We accept thy challenge, foolish William Black!"
A vortex opened up in the air, and the one called the Knight of Blades came out of the void to face William. He was clad in the darkest ebony platemail from head to toe, platemail of which was stained with the blood of many he had slaughtered. His eyes glowed an evil red from behind his helmet, and chains held his two giant swords from escaping his grasp. The Knight of Blades laughed an evil laugh, and rushed at William with his two giant blades, one in each hand.
William rolled to the left as one of the blades came crashing down, leaving a hole in the mountain with a depth of three or four feet. The Knight of Blades cackled evilly, and swung a plate-covered hand at William. It hit William, and he flew back, perilously close to the edge of the mountain. William rose back up, jumping straight up to avoid another deadly swing from the Knight which would have cleaved Williams head straight off his shoulders. William threw a fireball at the Knight, of which it hit straight in the chest and the Knight stumbled backwards.
"Fool, thou realizeth thous hast challenged a god?" cursed the Knight of Blades.
"Nay," retorted William. "Thy hast challenged a demon!"
With that, William hit aside one of the great swords the Knight swung at him with the Sword of Aeons. Any other sword would have snapped into a thousand pieces from such a blow, but the Sword of Aeons took it easily. The anger of his failure shown as the Knight's evil red eyes glowed an ever darken crimson shade.
The Knight swung both blades at one, one in a horizontal and the other in a vertical motion, straight at William. William used his powers to teleport right behind the Knight, and to brak the chain of one of the Knight's swords. The chain was cleaved right through, as if the Sword of Aeons were being used to cut warm butter. Without his chain linking his sword and arm, the sword flew off the mountain and down below from the force of the Knights swing.
The Knight of Blades swung around fast and indeed kicked William with one of his massive boots. William was hit right in the stomach, and fell backwards. William coughed up blood and bile while the Knight of Blades was about to bring his remaining sword right down on William. William focused on protecting himself, and a blue and warm shield stopped the sword from penetrating William's flesh. The Knight's sword vibrated violently in his hands as he let out a shriek of anger.
William got up and swung the Sword of Aeons in a circular motion around the Knight's wrist. It cut straight through the armor and chain, and severed the Knight's hand and sword from his body. This time, the sword fell off the mountain swinging wildly as it fell.
William brought the blade to the Knight of Blades throat, and expected the Knight to beg for mercy. Instead, the Knight brought his armored fist right into the face of William. William fell backwards, blinded in agony, and the Sword of Aeons did it's duty by staying upright as the Knight of Blades tackled William, hoping to crush him to death. The sword went right through the heart of the Knight of Blades, and as the Knight screamed in agony, the vortex up above was closed, for now at least.
William grabbed the Sword of Aeons and watched as the soul and blood of the Knight of Blades was drained from his body and absorbed into the Sword of Aeons. The earth rembled a second time, and the unidentifiable voice spoke again, although a little different with the Knight dead. "You have defeated the Knight of Blades, bu now you face the Jack of Blades! Prepare to be skinned alive and drove mad before we allow you to die!" And after saying this, the earth trembled again, and the Jack of Blades was sent down from the Void, cackling as he came down to touch the top of the Mountain of Ruon.
