A/N well at least people are reading it and it seems that everyone went along with waiting for this chapter. now all that's needed is to figure out why no one's giving me a review and p.s. i mat be bashing on all religons that aren't my own so sorry if you hate me for it but i'm christan so shut it

Chapter 2

All fake gods

demand sacrifice

If someone reads what the requirements are to each religion then most may say that Christianity asks only that you form a relationship to god and then let it flow from there, close to no questions asked past that point. while almost every other religion asks that you give up more along with permanent costs to obtain salvation like killing your first born child.

"Sigh did we really need to go THAT far back?"

"Would you rather we go to the last time you wet the bed?"

"Shutting up."

"This was the moment that your life changed so like it or not. We. Are. Starting. Here. End of discussion."

"Alright, alright!"

With a sour taste in my mouth I watched the last happy moment in Regulator village. Me at four years old just started learning how to use a zanbato with the aid of my father. The best warrior in the village which as being the strongest village meant he was the best there was. My dad and me looked almost alike if it wasn't for several battle scars he has and that he wore a black tunic and red sash. It was about noon at the moment we both stopped well, my dad did I was just begging for more before lunch. But as my mother called with a threat that involved a vicious beating with the dull edge of my blade I quickly ran to the table for a lunch of smoked beef, potato stew, and steamed vegetables.

After me and my dad had finished we continued the lessons so I could use my weapon properly once we were done with that the time was about 3 o'clock and I could wield it good enough to at least give me a chance in a fight against a veteran. Since all I had to do was put away the equipment I did just that putting the training equipment in the backroom along withmy new zanbato as I was too small to carry it with my with out any problems after which I left the house. Next I went to find Sarah my friend, she was a beautiful grey wolf that had golden honey eyes that showed only how kind she was, she often wore a kung fu dress that had a scene that showed cherry blossoms flowing in the wind, finally she had armbands with matching shoes that had small milky white gems in them I didn't know if they were there for fashion sense or not I just knew that she has a wicked well everything. If it wasn't for her heart of gold she'd be the best fist fighter we have.

Finally after thinking about her I reach her house it was actual a bit of a walk considering that we live on opposite ends of the village. Once I got to the front door of the house I knock on the wooden door to wait for my friend. However after ten seconds I didn't hear anything just silence aside from the other villagers going about their day. I tried knocking a second time this time a little harder. still no response now I was beginning to worrying about her she would leave a note if she ever left to go somewhere and there wasn't one in sight. I hammered my fist against the door expecting a different response but it didn't change. Out of fear I ran for the backyard to see it devoid of life. In dispersion I knocked down the door to see that there was no one in the building not Sarah, her mom, or her dad.

Seeing nothing I rushed back to my house to get my parents to help me search for her only to hear my mother scream followed by my dad roar in response before a bone shaking scream came from him as well. I ran to my house as fast as my legs could carry me till I smelled blood. Once that scent smacked me in the face I didn't know what I was doing. My legs carried me to my zanbato to see that it was left alone while my father's was gone. Whatever had a hold of my body lost it as I felt that there was someone behind me. I truned to find some masked brute staring at me. He was probably an ape given what did show, fur covered arms and legs, no tail and I could only see eyes full of hate staring into my blue fearful eyes he raised his axe in a attempt to kill me quickly. I grabbed my pole arm and ran before he could start the downward stroke.

Outside I saw that everyone else was being given a similar fate to death by a masked ape or some other animal using an axe. Holding my zanbato closer in my arms I ran for the forests to the west hoping to lose sight of both this blood bath and the two hundred some pounds of death racing after me.

It was as I reached the Savior's woods that the name gave meaning as I jumped from trunk to trunk trying to lose him that he started to just tear down the branches that began to lean in front of him as if the forest was trying to slow him down. In a feat of angry he through his axe to try and impale or better yet kill me. The axe flew past my head missing it thanks to gravity pulling me below it. As it sunk into a tree it cry in agony as a branch bent out to take the blade out. both of us didn't stop at the sight of the treant coming to life. How did I know he was still following? I found arrows across the trees as I continued to any village that wasn't what was left of mine.

After a while I noticed that the trees had less arrows that either meant that he was falling behind, running out, or he's trying for a better shot. In a act of desperation I grabbed a hold of one of the arrows in the tree next to me. I then pulled it out to throw it back at him. I didn't know if I hit nor did I care I just hoped that I gave him a reason to be cautious. It apparently worked as a unknown something tried to strike my hand I pulled it before whatever it was got to touch me.

The 'it' was a odd looking worm or larvae that was a off set of white, it also had a tiny mouth that had smaller teeth that made him seem like a predator from the time he got out of his little egg. I had no time to look at the hell spawned thing as it was really after the carcass of a treant that just looked like a decaying log until a branch wobbly attempted to catch me before I jumped out of the way.

After I was clearly out of the reach of the undead tree it began to stand up the entire trunk was covered with fungus and mold while several other plants claimed it's branches that had been colored bright from the mossy layer. All I could hear after the thing took what I hoped was a battle stance as the dead tree looked like he returned from a heavy party was a laugh from far away followed by that ape speaking "finally someone helps me! I thought I would need to hunt you down myself well I guess that I'll just enjoy the show. To bad I don't have any popcorn it's going to be a riot!"

By now I'm tired of running if he wants a show I'll give him one. Thinking of how to fight an enemy larger than yourself I took a battle stance that should give me some sort of chance if this reanimated piece of wood were to land a blow. But I had no time as it tried for an early swing that most would need to be blind to not see coming.

I rolled under it resulting it to link it with a downward slam which had the same result only that I dodged by inches on both occasions. Noticing that it couldn't immediately bring the branch that was it's arm back I took the opportunity to jump on it to get a chance at slicing the face. Whether it was alive or not if it couldn't see it could attack. I pushed the blade in as far as I could resulting in a howl of pain before shook me off. I got back up in time to catch it throw something at my feet, the second I look the tiny pebbles on the ground they had already grown into vines that ensnared me and lifted me up to the mark that I had made after which a clapping was heard.

"well done little man you actually survived 30 seconds with a Larvae of the Lost," the ape stated from afar. "but sadly you had to meet a mature one the fresh can't do any specials like the vines. But in any case I won't get paid until I kill." the sound of an arrow being drawn in it's bow was heard before the arrow pierced my chest in between my heart and my left lung. Almost immediately after it happened everything went black.

"ok so I get to see my family killed and me along with them. What does that have to do with me getting a complete super form?"

"Because the question is why did you fight the reanimated treant?"

"uh because I didn't want to run and bring a second village down along with mine."

"Right and why didn't you?"

"No one else should die if I could stop it."

"Then why did you die then?"

"I didn't! some one found me an inch from well… you."

"Ok who?"

"Just someone that over heard the screams and the random destruction that me and that ape caused"

"Not quite the real person that saved you was the king of the woods village. He saw everything the second the two of you entered the forest as such he sent out a party to pick you up before you were hurt but the Larvae or rather the Worm made it a different outcome."

"So what happened to the rest?"

"They had their power extracted before being tossed aside to be used as practice for those hell spawned larvae"

"So what did the party that the king send stop the ape before helping me"

"Actually the ape was paid to kill you nothing else was said to him"

"So how would the jackal know I'm dead?"

"Your daddy's zanbato. He figured that if you saw him take it then you wouldn't stop till your dead to get it back."

"Well apparently it was death or inches from it."

"So should we see your life in the new village or should we skip to when you left to get revenge?"

"I don't know. I guess that it's up to the reviews of the story that will tell us to continue where we left of f or to just jump to when I hunt down the jackal's allies and inevitably my downfall by his hands."

A/N if i still get no reviews then i'll jump to the 16 year old looking for revenge if i do and they want it i'll try and cook up something of a second childhood
