In the dimension of Mewni there are many kingdoms that rule over the land. The butterfly kingdom known for the monarchs and their magical abilities which held them as one of the strongest kingdoms in mewni, the legends that would begin from the kingdom had been song for centuries as the commoners who had to fight to survive with each other grew in strength and love of war. Through time however war seemed to be fleeting and the people softened with the lacking of war with other dimensions, so when the young queen moon claimed victory over the septarians and the people went further out from the kingdom they became weak and allowed the guards, knights, and Royals to protect the people. Though with this security came flaws and time reactions for the outer kingdom was lacking and bandits took full advantage of when it came to hit and run tactics.

A new menace came into being with the organization of the attacks and soon gave birth to the Blacked Sky, a bandit group who through time and effort formed a fort and took over towns through their hit and run tactics and surprisingly held out and assault for three months. Queen moon now being married to the now king River and having a seven year old Star Butterfly placed a force field around her kingdom and took in the remainder of citizens outside of the field and would hold them until the problem was solved, but in their haste to complete the action the kingdom over looked some homes and they were claimed without fail.

Young Boy POV

"MOM!" The boy screamed as he saw her lifeless body on the floor after she was discarded from being these bastards plaything to do as they saw fit, his father tried as he did was cut down the moment he came to the realization of what was about to happen. All it took was one scream from his son and the man ran towards him with his sword and anger in his eyes as he screamed for the release of his son, only to be only to be cut down by a coward hiding by their house.

"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!" He screamed as his anger blinded him from the dropping bodies of his attackers, he noticed the area only when he was released and the man who was holding him and the man in front were both beheaded and their bodies sprayed blood onto him. The boy confused by this looked around the room and started to see shadows move around him tacitly watching him as he looked at his mother's corpse and walked over towards at seeing her strange necklace that had a symbol of a bat on one side and cross on the other.

'One day this necklace will belong to you and with it so many other gifts will come in time, just remember we love you and if anything happens take it and your father sword and run to safety' the memories of his mother playing in his mind as he grabbed the necklace and took it off his mother leaving her as peaceful as possible.

Third POV

The shadows in the home watched as the boy walked over and grabbed what appeared to be a scabbard after he retrieved the necklace, looking at each other for confirmation and reaching a silent agreement a figure appeared behind the boy.

Boy POV

The hair on the back of the boy's neck stood up as if warning him of an extreme danger that was looming over him. He turned around and saw a masked man standing now in front of him with his hands behind his back and looking directly at him, the figure wore black robes and a mask with strange red markings all over it, the robe hid the mans figure rather well but he could still tell the general things, but the most alarming about the figure was the amount of weapons that were strapped across his body, to say he was prepared to fight was the least description of it as every limb and body part held some type of small throwable knife with a sword strapped to his side, the boy swallowed hard as the nervousness tried to take hold, "are you... with them?" He asked holding his ground against the figure.

The figure looked outside at his father's corpse and then at his mother to finally back at the boy, the sounds of a deep breath escaping from the man just gave the boy more conviction.

"Are you the guards or the knights" he said tightening his grip onto the scabbard more as he prepared to asked another question, " your not a royal, they would never save a commoner" he said with anger.

This caught the man's attention however as he took a step forward and the boy took two steps back, seeing where this was going he nodded and three more figures appeared from the shadows all wearing robes but two matching colors. The man kneeled down and placed his hands behind his mask removing is and showing his face, he was a man in his early thirties with brown hair and dark brown eyes with a scare over his left cheek.

"I know it's scary right now... and I know you just saw your parents be taken from you... and I'm sorry but more is coming so we MUST LEAVE." He said making it clear it was a order and not a choice.

The boy looked outside and pointed at the body of his father who tried to protect him, "I understand but I need that." He said making clear what he had left to lose.

Nodding the man picked up the boy and pointed at the others the directions they were to go and with nodding they all went their separate way, the man walked outside and grabbed the sword's scabbard handing it the the child who placed the sword it in. The man watched as he sheathed the sword looking at the craftsmanship of the blade, with that done he ran into the forest as flaming torches could be seen not to far from the home it didn't take long before they enemies came and lit it ablaze.

Three hours later The Boy POV

His eyes opened as he gasped and reached out trying to grab whatever his mind placed in front of him but sadly he held nothing, and he looked at his hand remembering the events that lead up to his unknown location. His parents were killed and he was saved, he was able to keep two things at least. The sword his father told him to respect like he would any man including an enemy, and the necklace his mother held dearly to her heart.

The boy looked over and saw the man who saved his life leaning against the wall watching him closely and curiously.

"How did you do appear in my home like you did mister" he asked wanting to know the answer.

"First of all drop the mister and second of all that's why I'm here to talk to you about" the man said placing his hand on his chin and his other hand tucked under the first. "Do you have any living family members" he asked the boy who shook his head stating he did not as he glanced back at his only items. "Then I'll give you a choice, you can either stay here and train while doing your part or you can leave and never tell anyone about what you saw, it's your choice." He said plainly to the boy.

The boy held out his ha d to accept, "my name is Marco Diaz" he said as the man grabbed and shook his hand.

"My name is Michael Ordonia and starting today I will be you teacher in fighting, magic, and the main occupation... bounty hunting and assassinations."
