Birth of Garo
(Start)
Once upon a time before the world was as we knew it mankind was hunted by creatures who roam the darkness. These creatures were called Horrors and they devour any living thing they come across, and the worst part was they can look like anyone else. People lived in fear of them as they had taken many names throughout history: demons, devils, dark spirits, monsters, and many more. They had been perceived throughout many mythology with humans being ignorant to the truth.
One day a group of humans learned these creatures language and from it used magic completely unknown to fight these monsters while keeping their existence a secret. When something goes bump in the night they bump back. But even with this magic stronger Horrors appeared beyond their strength. One day one of this mages decided they needed a new way to battle them someone who can take the front lines and take the fight to the Horrors.
This mage then traveled and began gathering disciples each a master of wielding a weapon from swords to spears. The mage then discovered that the Madou Plants used to make there tools could be used for another purpose. So the man went to his disciples and gave them a message.
"Gather those you know and bring to me the bravest and strongest among you." He said as he looked to them. "Meet me upon the sacred mountain and there we shall forge the light that will shine through the darkness, there we will forge Hope."
The disciples then went and gathered men who chose to fight these creatures of the Makai. Eventually many of them gathered atop the sacred mountain where a temple and a forge laid. The man looked to the many men who gathered as he then spoke words that would forever be remembered.
"My friends, allies against Horrors I beseech thee many of you had come here to seek the power that will cast away the darkness, to find hope. I have broken a sacred testament and found unusual Horrors those who have chosen Amenity against their own kind. They have died do to their own starvation and have been reborn, but only one was ready to be awaken to be the eternal ally of Hope, now I ask you all who among you have the will to fight as ones who protect, the courage to battle against impossible odds, and who has the soul to lift this sword of hope in humanities name?" He spoke as many of the men were unsure.
That was when one stood out among the rest. This young man was younger than most of the men who had gathered and he told the wise old man his will. "I wish to battle these Horrors, to fight as a protector knowing I will be a shadow and when I fall there will be no grave. But I do know if I am to fall another man will pick up this sword and fight in my place. I had lost my family to these Horrors and most of all I had lost my beloved to them, she made me swore upon her death bed to take the feelings she felt for me and ensure no other shall suffer her fate not even one." The man said as the old mage looked to this boy.
"Young man what is your name?" He asked as the young man looked to the olden mage.
"My name is Leon (Not the one from Honoo no Kokuin) Garino, I was but a knight in the crusades where I had first learned of the existence of these demons and by brother in arms Mathias had seen firsthand what evils they are capable of." The man said as the mage nodded.
"Very well Leon Belmont of the family of Knights I see the conviction in your eyes I shall grant you the power to cut down these Horrors." The old man said before he gestured Leon to rise the steps. "Focus your feelings onto this forge, focus on the love you felt for your beloved and the friendship with your brother in arms Mathias." The Mage told Leon as the mage has to ask. "Tell me Sir Leon what was your beloved's name?" The man asked as Leon looked.
"My beloved fiancé was named Sarah Garino and to this day a day doesn't go by that I miss her." Leon said as the mage nodded.
The mage picked up the hammer and forged an armor. Leon was amazed as the armor turned from darken grey metal to a golden radiance. This forging took three days and three nights to complete and the men who gathered began to grow smaller in mass but they stayed and by the fourth day the forging was complete. Leon looked upon his new armor as the mage offered him a stone ring. "Take this Leon Belmont this ring will forever bound your bloodline to this armor." The mage said as Leon took the ring and put it on noticing its gothic skull design. "Now Leon pick up your sword." The mage said as Leon picked up the sword and found that with his soul alone he was able to lift it.
He raised the sword skyward and reached torts the heavens lights where a halo of divine light had opened. From it the armor that was forged came forth and attached to Leon forever changing his life and his destiny. "Leon Belmont from this day forward you shall wield the hope that shines light through the darkness, this armor named after your beloved fiancé shall be your means to cut away the Inga and sin of Horrors." The mage said before the ring awoken.
"I am Madou Ring Zaruba my master, hear these testaments as they will guide your blade to victory, you must stain your blade from the blood of humans regardless of their, this weapon and armor must be used solely to protect the world and strike at the Horrors, this power must not be used against humans, and finally hear this creed, Where there is Light Shadows lurk and fear reigns but by the blade of Knights mankind was given hope." Zaruba had said as Leon nodded.
"I swear upon this blade and this armor called Garo." Leon said as that sealed it.
"Then I shall be contracted to you Leon Belmont Golden Knight Garo, I shall devour a day of your life upon the new moon for every month of mine." Zaruba said before the mage nodded.
"Now go Leon the Horror who stole your beloved life has taken the form of the head of the Bernhard family, you must travel to his castle and cut him down, and may the light forever guide you." The Mage said and thus Leon traveled to this castle.
The Mage then with the other gathered men forged many more armors but none would be as legendary or as powerful as Garo.
Leon traveled to this castle which land has been drowned into a perpetual night. Leon entered the castle and faced the Bernhard family head Walter whose own sin and Inga had turned him into a Horror. Leon battled the Horrors that Walter had summoned to guard his throne room and came face to face with the man who had devoured his fiancé. Leon swore vengeance for the loss of his love but he chose not to allow that vengeance cloud his mind.
Leon then forced Walter in a great battle into his true form, a form of a vile being who used his own castle as his body and used those who come and die here as his nourishment. Leon summoned his armor and battled Walter who had begun making his way to the capital where humans flock to hide under Gods light. Garo battled this Horror and it appeared he would win, but Walter was dishonorable and vile as he was cruel and evil. He summoned forth to soul of Sarah forcing Leon to stop mid attack allowing Walter to gain the upper hand.
Leon would have died that day but the feelings that his fiancé's soul held for him gave him power. Garo turned those feelings into power and gained the form known only as Garo God's Knight as he took the form of a divine angel to many. Garo cut down Walter and destroyed his castle body. But Walter was not done.
"One day you too will know darkness, the fang who was the brother to hope shall one day show his true darkness and hunt you down and destroy all that you love. This fang will battle the hopes descendants every time they both exist at the same time. Your son and your son's son shall battle my kind for all eternity." Walter warned but Leon no Garo looked to him.
"I do not doubt that, you must know who this fang is and when he summons you forth once more give him this message for me. You have fallen into the deepest of darkness and caused my fiancé's life all for power. This blade and my kinsman will battle the darkness and the Horrors till they face you one day and long after they defeat you. From this day onward the Belmond Family shall hunt the Horrors and Makai Knight!" Leon vowed as then Walter was sealed into the Garoken to be taken to the Makai where he belonged.
The castle crumbled that day when all hope seemed lost to the people. From the rubble they saw a light that shined through the darkness, a light at the end of the tunnel. There they saw the man who shined there light of hope, the man who was clad in gold armor. The man raised his sword to the heavens and screamed so even the mightiest of angels shall hear him.
"I am Golden Knight Garo, the one who shall protect this world from the darkness to my dying breath. And upon my death I shall pass down this duty to my worthy successor!" Garo roared to the heavens as from that day a legend began.
From then until his elder years he battled the Horrors and fathered another son and eventually met this Fang of darkness. Upon his death bed he named his son the next Garo and that son carried on his duty until it was passed down to his son and so forth. People spoke of him in the darkest hours for they know when he is needed most he shall appear again, and his name is Golden Knight Garo.

ESKK: Yes I know this isn't cannon origins for Garo and yes I know I took names from Castlevania but personally I didn't want to go through the trouble of making up names after Garino so here you go. And like always everyone leave a review and ja ne.
