Sorry all for the delay of chapters, I was grounded for a long time :/
Valkrin was just about 21 when is whole life completely changed. infact, it was stolen, and replaced by immortality.
[shadow=red,left,300]I. A Frightening Night[/shadow]
I was walking in a nearby forest, near my house. It was getting dark, and cold. I soon realized I should get back home, Tammy would probobally need to be feed, after all;black wyrverns need to be fed one every two weeks. I noticed I was In an unexplored area, where rumors said there was a beast who had slain a million men in one night. So I drew my sword, and started tracing my tracks back home. The only bad thing was, It started to rain, and was getting darker by the minute. Confused by which way my home was, I started running in the direction I last saw my tracks pointed too. I stumbled on a root of a Glaeci Tree, fabled to provide a source of magic. I got up, brushed my clothes off, and put my hands on the tree. I started to feel stronger, faster, and more agile. So I continued my way home. It started to get pitch black, so I took out my mini-lantern. I could only See two feet ahead of me. Still going forward, I started to feel weak, as the tree's powers payed its toll. I sat down for a rest, and was immediatly flipped up and was being held by anther human... or so I thought.
"It doesn't seem to me that I'm in a good situation...." I proclaimed."are you the Triku?" It hissed and threw me at a tree. blinded from not having my latern, I looked for his sword on the ground, found it, and started flailing it in every direction, and started running. tripped by somthing, I felt immense pain in my back, then my neck. I was loosing consencous, and fast. closing my eyes, I thought that it was my time.
[shadow=red,left,300]II. New Friends[/shadow]
"Hey Buddy! Wake up! Are you ok?" a unknown stranger said to me. I opened my eyes, and as soon as I did, he jumped back."Don't bite me! Please! I'm not tasty!" I yawned, and he jumped back farther. "Ugh...what happened? My back and neck are throbing!"I said. " Hey, do you know who ya are kid? Look in da mirror!" I got up, I saw I was in somone's house, and walked over to the mirror. I stared at myself for a second, then realized my eyes. Blood red, thirsty looking eyes. I opened my mouth, and I had fangs. I just kept staring. "The name is Rockey by the way, welcome to my home. I see you were turned last night." he said. "Dear god... I'm a Vampire!" I started. "Who did this? Was it you!?" " Woah hold yer horses buddy! I found you out in the forest with a cut in yer back, and a hole in yer throat. So I brought yer to my house, and healed the wounds, or tried, before they healed themselves."Rockey Said. "Oh, ok. Sorry we got of on the wrong page, My name is Valkrin. I live by Oarkintown, but about 2 miles out. Oh and don't worry. I won't harm you. I'm not thirsty. I think."
"So what am I supposed to do? I don't want to become an animal vampire, nor hurt or kill any humans." I said. " Well, Maybe you can Drink animal blood?" Rockey said. "Sounds good let me go try. Any Animals nearby?" I said. " Well we're under attack by alot of ice animals right now, Some are even magical!" "Sounds good, but whats your town doing about it?" I said. "Nuthin'. The ArchSlayers came into town. They're an Elite War group. Their leaders have amazing powers." Rockey told me. "Are you good at Using a blade?" I asked." I have duals,but I'm ok, I guess." Rockey told me. "Then come along!" He said yes, and we went to go to the war sight.
[shadow=red,left,300]III. Confronting The ArchSlayers[/shadow]
As we were walking up to the battlefront,A person in a golden sacred plate teleported from nowhere. Holding up a glowing gold staff, he said some magic words, and pain was inflicted upon in my chest. I collapsed, and he said to others in the distance fighting off ice creatures,"Oh great, now undead are coming!" Said the gold one. A man in a Brown-yellow plate with a golden axe came up, and was about to finish me off, when Rockey stopped him."What ya doin' that for, kid?" he said. "He's a good guy! He doesn't harm humans!" Rockey defended me. " Prove it then!" The Golden one said. He seemed to be the commander. "How am I still alive, and why isn't he fighting back?" Rockey said. "He's a newling, doesn't know a thing." Said the Warrior. "gah....please....remove....the...spell...can't....talk..." I said. "Why? so you can kill us? nu'uh! Lemme finish him, it'll take a second. He'll only fell a'lot o' pain!" Said the warrior. "Wait... let him speak." Said the commander. He released the spell, and I explained my story, but fast; I knew I had limited time. Rockey confirmed the story and the Golden one said,"Sounds true, But how did you see the reflection?" " I don't know...." I said. He then used a spell and made sunlight beam on me, it was overcast. Nothing happened. "Huh, looks like we got a oddball. M'name be Epsilon, Archslayer general. The Mage is..." "I can say my name myself, you take the kid and get him fighting... I need to talk with this one..." said the mage.
" My name is Zacky Rev Vengance, or Zacky Rev." Said Zacky. " Mine is Valkrin, nime to meet you," I went for a handshake, and he edges back and held his light-staff up. "Sorry about that, I'm trained that way, so its instinct." Said Zacky. "Oh, thats ok. So, Is there any dead animals from the war?" I asked. "Yes, we got some Dragons... why you ask?" Zacky said. "Well You know I'm a vampire, but I don't want to hurt any humans like yourself. So, maybe a can drink Animal blood..." I said. " Sounds like we will conduct a test, follow me." I followed him to a pile of dead dragons and other monsters.Zacky uses a spell, and a slit opens up a dragons neck, and blood flows out, and he flows it to my face. I take a drink, and oh how wonderful the TASTE! Better than panter ribs anyday!"Ok, it was a sucess, you can survive on animal blood!" Zacky said.
Zacky sent me into the war, with a blade made from Obsidion and shadows and a golden hilt. When a saw Rockey, he was lurking in the shadows, jumping on enemys backs, and stabbing his blades at emense speed.I also noticed he seemed to have a legendary armour on.I'd have to ask him about that. Too bad vampires go faster."Hey Rockey!Behind you!"I shouted, and Rockey spun and sliced the ice dragon in the heart. I cam over to guard his back, and the real battle just begun.
[shadow=red,left,300]IV. The Final Battle[/shadow]
Rockey was totally amazing in the battlefield.Oustanding. He killed hundreds!But so did I, and while I cleaned my blade with my tounge, while he just kept on stabbing. Zacky casted an Ultra Uber Fire spell which melted and cooked most enemys. Epsilon was hacking away with his sword.It was Finally over, all but one was slain, and he was A Giant.... SnowMan? What the Hell?
wheathe or not, he was HUGE! So Zacky,Me,Epsilon,and Rockey came to fight side by side.Soon others came, from afar in the battlefront, and said they were The 13th, Angelique, and GodofYeti. I brought out my blade, ready to slice his head into millions. ROckey disappeared, ready to sneak attack.Epsilon was charing to use a cast on his blade to make it fire. Zacky got out a flame staff and made a flame perimeter around us. GodOfYeti summoned 20 yetis to pummel the Snowman.The 13th was getting his blade out to attack. We waited for Zackys orders. The Snowman was about to Blizzard us. Finally, Zacky gave the go, and we started attacking.SNow everywhere, the human had a hard time seeing, a cleared it out, and we kept fighting. I was Impailed with ice shards, ripped them out of my chest, and threw em back. Epsilon was burried in snow, then it was melted by his sword. The 13th got a blow in the snow golems chest, and it started to crumble. I broke one of its arms, and Zacky Melted the other. Now he was using his snow to make mini enemys and angelique was melting them all with fire waves. Soon all that was left was him standing there, and Rockey jumped up, and sliced it in half. It was over.
Zacky asked us if we would join the ArchSlayers, and without heasitation ROckey said yes. I aslo agreed, but under conditions. I get my own quarters. don't want to risk anything. Oh and Hunting trips. Rockey told me about his childhood, and I told him that I'd hunt them down with him, and no matter what, protect him. He told me about the imperial assasian ordeal, and I thought that was pretty cool. After Everything, We got a new cry for help. So we rode out...
[shadow=red,left,300]V. Into The Night[/shadow]
Dear ArchSlayers,
Our town,Direnerit, is being destroyed by a large mass of Darkness monsters, and the sun isn't coming out. My Patalian Of Shadow Slayers is decreasing dramatically. We need your help.
Signed,
Shadow Reign
"Hmm,"Epsilon said,"That Name sound familair... but I don't know why..." "Well, ArchSlayers lets go to Direnerit!" Said Rockey. " Ok. Lets gather our equipment and meet in my quarters,"Zacky exclaimed.
"Ok, Valkrin, since your a darkness creature;no offense; you should try to walk in town from where they are attacking, and try to make a deal, and if not, attack. Me and Angelique will meet up with the ShadowSlayers and tend to the casualties. Then Rockey, The 13th and Epsilon will flank them if they don't agree to our terms. I will discuss those with you later, Valkrin." Said Zacky. "Ok then, I'll go and get my healing spells and light staff," said Angelique. "Ok, I'm Ready! Where are our horses?" Rockey asked. Zacky led everyone to the horses, and everyone sattled up. "No thanks, I can run there. I mean, after all, Im faster than a horse." I told Zacky.
When we got there, there were men In black uniforms with odd golden blades attack darkness creatures. Then I saw those incicvilized vampires. Disgusting, blood of ShadowSlayers dripping from theree mouths, claws scraping bodies,attack every human in sight."God, look at them..." Said Rockey."Glad your not one of em' "Epsilon tolf me. "Yeah... I still want to be human..." I siad. Zacky and Angelique went healing the wounded, Rockey, The 13th and Epsilon got in postion. As I was walking toward the other vampires, about a mile away, clashing with some shadowSlayers, I was takled by some ShadowSlayer. he thrust his sword through my gut, and It Actully hurt. When I tried ripping out, my hands startd to burn. "Silver..." I hissed, Part of my Vampire instincts kicked in. I had barely any contol, and I hissed at him, threw myself at him, and was pummeled to the Ground. "You can't beat me, stupid vampire. I'm too uber!" Said the ShadowSlayer. "Before you die, Let me introduce my awesomeness. I'm Shadow Reign, Head of the Shadow Slayers. I Reign Upon the shadws of the world such as yourself! Silver Sword in your gut, and now a stake through your heart!"He pulled out a silver stake like a dagger, was about to kill me, and epsilon threw back." Leave Him Alone!" he yelled, ripped the blade out of me(he did it brutally, so it hurt alot) and ran and charged at Shadow Reign.
An Epic Battle erupted, swords going everywhere, blood splattering, and chunks of armour. Epsilon got stabbed down by the arm, and Shadow Reign was about to kill him when he looked into his eyes. "B...b....brother? Is it really you?" Shadow Reign asked. "gah.... yes.... It's me... I wondered where I remebered the name. Finally recovered, I got up, and ran toward Shadow Reign, only to have tip of his blade pointing at me. "Stay away from my brother, vile creature, or perish!" He said, not even looking at me. With the other hand, he took the blade out of Epsilon's arm and asked Epsilon why he defended me. He explained to SHadow Reign my story, and then asked if he would join the ArchSlayers. He decliened, but then asked if all Shadow Slayers could be ArchSlayers. Zacky finnaly done with the healing, told him that they can, but our quarters doesn't have enough room, but the could come and help anytime they want to.
After all the Conflict we noticed Rockey and the 13th asleep, they fell asleep of bordem. So we woke them up, and went to the battlefront to aid the ShadowSlayers.
[shadow=red,left,300]VI. TO WAR![/shadow]
The war atcully was hard. I guess ot was because there more than the last. So many... how would we.... No. I have to think positivilly. We Have the ShadowSlayers to help. Shadow Reign Is here. All is good. We just need to push them back. I saw Zacky, he looked tired. we've been fighting for hours. I went over to aid him, but was blocked by a skeletal Behemoth. Sliced him in half and grimicing of no blood, I went to Zacky. "Hey, why don't you take a rest? you look tired." I told him. " Why? to miss the best and awsomest part. No Way! Watch The 13th!" He told me. I went to look over at him, and I saw his 12 blades, each representing something. Pull out one and holding it up in the air, a fissure appeared under most enemys surrponding him. He drew the next, and the lava flowed from the fissure. The third, Spikes of bone came out the ground. Alot of dead bodies were scattered. "Now Epsilon..."Zacky muttered, while imploding A dragon's head with light. Epsilon's eyes glowed gold, he held his axe up high, and a blinding flash occured. after it, all enemeys were blinded, and any monster near was dead. "Woah," I said slicing a vampires head off. "Rockey was right. you guys are special!"
After awhile, there were a few demons left. With my speed, I snapped 23 of there heads, and broke ones legs. I told the ArchSlayers to come over, and I interrogated him at who sent the army. He grinned and said," UZ will revenge you for the day.... he will. ugh... Beware the Ebil Warlord...." and then it died. "Ebil Warlord? huh?" said Rockey. "Doesn't sound too frightening.... but from the size of this army, and it probably isn't all of his, we better keep on guard." Angelique told us. "Well, Brother, You are very skilled at combat. I will meet you again one day, and hopefully in front of this 'Ebil Warlord' so we can own him together," Said Epsilon. Wow. he seems very glad he met his brother again. "And I you...Epsilon."Shadow Reign said while punching him on the shoulder. They started a brawl,punching and throwing each other, but we let them be.
"Rockey, come on! Give me my Blood-Wine bottle back! Your so immature!"I told him. "Gotta catch me first!"He said. "how stupid of you....." I grinned.
[shadow=red,left,300]VII. A Warlord's Kingdom[/shadow]
somewhere in a kingdom, far into the mountains....
"WHAT! THE WHO?" UZ demanded. "The ArchSlayers sir... they teamed up with the ShadowSlayers and defeated the army. But it wasn't a total loss... 127 ShadowSlayers died or will be unable to fight for a long time..." Said Oblivion, Ebil Gladiator and BodyGuard of UZ. "Well we let them in... and then they die. Do they know who we are?"Said UZ. "No Sir."Oblivion said. "Good..." UZ grinned....
In a Nearby forest...
Come on, Valkrin.Be Silent, and lunge at the right moment. don't let her get away. I lept, and caught my goal. A nice dear. Mmm It was a nice Dinner. "Valkrin! Were going to UZ! Come on!" Yelled Rockey. Crap. all other dears are gone... might as well go on now...
Back At The Quarters
"Ok, we have a major advantage point. UZ doesn't know that we know about him. He's pretending he's a king, and inviting us to a celebration of our heroicness, which we should have. Anyway, Epsilon, Rockey, and Valkrin, you guys will scale the back and get in, Valkrin will take out a vampire, dress as him. and pretend he is one. Rockey and Epsilon will be waiting to suprise attack him. The rest of us will be at the party, and when the moment comes, we strike. Any questions?" Zacky told us. "No? Ok lets go!"
When we arrived, me rockey and Epsilon went around the back of the castle and started the climb. It was easy for my, epsilon was trailing behind, and rockey and me were neck and neck. At the mid level, where UZ should be, we broke through the window, and I killed a vampire guard, and wore his uniform. Rockey and Epsilon behind me, they took postion on each side of a door, I opened, and saw UZ. Very magestic,powerful,cruel looking man. "What do you want, vampire?" he asked me. I drew my blade and said,"Your life. Instantly, a person who seemed to be a statue at first lept at me, and I jumped. I then came down and sliced his shoulder, while Rockey and Epsilon went to Chase UZ, who was running away. He used a spell on them, the became uncoonicous, and took Rockey away. "ROCKEY!" I yelled, and then my leg was cut off by oblivion. Enraged by how he took Rockey, I stabbed Oblivion in the gut, and then the leg. and I healed my leg, started chasing after UZ.I came to a dead end, and smashed threw the wall, there was a secret entrance.. following it led knowhere, more smashing onl revealed more room of nothingness... it was a maze. "ROCKEY! I"LL COME BACK FOR YOU! I SWEAR!" I kicked a wall a little too hard and it crumbled down and I saw a Wolf, big and armour plated. With a collar with the name Zorbak. "Crap." I said. it bite me in the arm, and i realized it had silver teeth. I snapped its neck and Epsilon came rushing down. "WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!" he yelled. "UZ took Rockey..." I said and slammed my fist against another wall.
[shadow=red,left,300]VIII. Gone...[/shadow]
"What happened Valkrin?" Zackey asked me. "UZ took ROCKEY! Leave me alone!" I ordered. I ran into a nearby forest... looking for any trail. "I will find you Rockey. I shall banish UZ to the deepest pits of hell! I promised you... you'll be back soon. I continued to walk farther and farther... deeper and deeper. It was starting to get dark. Night. My scantuary. Continued walking, I saw a figure for a split second. then Having a burning sword in my back, I knew who it was."God... Shadow Reign...It's me..." I said... with the silver in my back. "Sorry Valkrin... why are you wandering out here.... at night?" He asked, ripping his sword from my back. "We assulted UZ, the warlord. I got caught up with his bodyguard, and Rockey went chasing after him. He knocked him out, and dragged him onto a maze with secret entrances everywhere. I couldn't find him, or a trail. I'm so pissed!" I said, then kicked a rocked, and it shattered. "That must suck. The good thing is, we have been tracking UZ. we were planning an assult also, and we saw him in a cave near his castle... but it probably leads somewhere else far away..." Shadow Reign told me. "Well I'm still going to look for him no matter what."I said."Well,I gotta go and hunt vampires, you should leave..."Shadow Reign said. "Alright, I shall see you soon." I said, leaving.
Walking back to my quarters, I wondered where Rockey could possibly be. Turning back, I head back to UZ's Kngdom. I took out everyone in sight. Vampires and Dark knights scattered everywhere. Not knowing the knights where humans, I bit one. Then I tasted the HUMAN blood. AMAZING. I had no control after that. I ran everywhere, ripped and biting all the dark knights for more human blood.I destroyed the vampires, so I could have it all. After all were gone, I went to look for the cave that Shadow Reign talked about. I found it, but sealed off with a million stones. I went and bashed, bashed, bashed them away. There were so many. I kept on bashing, and finally no more. I was at no control still. I ran all the way through... It was a endless tunnel with little light. I roared, and kept running, until I saw An entracance to a dungeon. I ripped off the door, and no one was in there, only it seemed to be another maze. I kept on running through walls, until I got to a door with a code on it. I punched it, it, and it didn't break. I put in every code in 5 seconds, and it finally opened. I ran through, only to have 50 arrows pierce my body. Still in me, the arrows broke when I was running with tremendous speed. I found another door.... Only to see it was guarded by... Oblivion.
[shadow=red,left,300]IX.Showdown[/shadow]
WARNING: My first chapter with graphical content. Swearing.
"Oblivion..."I hissed. "Vampire..."He replied. "How dare you call me that!" I yelled and charged at him. He jumped up, and sliced my back. It hurt. alot. "Go to hell, Vampire. And taste SILVER!" He said. I sweared under my breathe, and with my speed, ran up and slit his shoulder with my blade. "Lets see you win with one usable arm!" He regenerated it, and snarled. "Damn Were! Eat Obsidion!" I hissed, and lunged it in his heart, then I saw Shadow Reign right behind me. "How'd you get here?" I asked him, and jumped back from Oblivion. "I knew you'd be looking for him, and I know Oblivion is a WereWolf. Here." He said, and threw me a white blade, with a custon hilt that was silver resistant."Silver..." I said, and lunged at Oblivion, only to have him dogde and transform. "Fuck you..."I hissed. We were battling for hours, and I knew Rockey was in that door... or at least UZ. " stabbed Oblivion in the other arm, then the gut. He howled, and then I stabbed his legs and left my blade in one. I went out through the door, and saw... Rockey, blades stained and wet with Vampire blood... with the Vampire that bit me long ago.... Then I caught his scent of his blood.
"Rockey!" I said inching my self toward him. "Valkrin? You came?" He said. " Of course. I made the promis...Gah..." I said, and Rockey ran toward me. "Get back... I smell you blood.... I've tasted human blood...... get back...... please... I don't want to hurt y...." I then lost control. I lunged myself at him, and he stabbed me with his dagger. "...Sorry..." I said, then hissed, went in to bite him... he threw me back, and I came back and went for another lunge. He dodged, and slit my leg, and I still went after him. I took out my blade, and started trying to draw blood from him.I made A little slit on his arm, and went and bit it. He kncoked me off, sweared at me, and lunged at me and stabbed me in the neck and arm. I ripped the daggers out, and threw them at him. One hit his leg, and more blood came. I charged at him and he yelled, "STOP VALKRIN!" and I stopped dead in my tracks....
[shadow=red,left,300]X. A mercanary battle[/shadow]
"What the hell happened?" I asked rockey, seeing him wounded and bleeding... with bite marks in in arm. " Oh my god.... I'm sorry... I lost control...." I began, and he stopped me. "It's alright.... you've tatsed human blood... you went out of control... I understand..."he said, and grimaced in pain. Shadow Reign came in and saw Rockey, and drew his blade at me, and stared into my eyes. He dropped the balde, and grinned. "First time for everything, eh?" he said. "ALmost converting your freind and tatsing human blood..." " Whoa what?" Rockey said, and starred at his arm. "Crap..."Shadow Reign went over to him and healed him up, and we all stared at the door ahead of us... where UZ was.Rockey jumped up, and snuck being UZ's throne. He slit his head off, and it was a dummy. I note came out, and Rockey said,"Crap... he's getting revenge on us... We need to head back...." he said, and we started to run out of the cave.
Oblivion was still there... and when he saw us he he asked us," Please....Working with UZ is not paying off... don't leave me to die..." and Shadow Reign took him and put him over his shoulder and we started to head back to the ArchSlayers.Halfway there, We were runnng and we noticed and arrow hit shadow Reign in the leg. He dropped, with Oblivion with him, and yelled. We Say a man with elvish features. "My name is Calamus Procella, and UZ hired me. I will kill you, right here right now." he said. "Eh, well go to hell!" Rockey said, picking up oblivion. I picked up Shdow Reign, and we ran in a froest. Weset them down, then went back the the elvish man. "Lets see you take on us!" Me and Rockey said at the same time. Calamus knocked an arrow, shot it at Rockey, and it went so fast Rockey couldn't dodge it so I put myself in front of him. The shaft went through me, and I ripped in out, and jumped at calamus. The Fight began. and we noticed UZ in the distance, grinning.
[shadow=red,left,300]XI.Greetings to All[/shadow]
"You go up top,"Rockey said to me "And you below." I said, and we darted off same speed. Rockey spun around Calamus and cut his shins and I cut his shoulders. he fell, and we asked,"Speak now or die!" and he replied,"Death does not frighten me! But I am in no postion for this... UZ gave me your bounty for 1 million gold coins."He said. "Ha! Have you heard our stories? we defeat armies!" Rockey gloated. "Either you join us, or you die!' I said geting up in his face and baring my teeth."Vampire?WHy do you serve a good cause?" Calamus asked. "I'm not evil... I don't want to be a brainless ghoul for someone's army." I said. "It'll take some loot for me to say yes." he grinned. "Look pal,'' a said, holding my blade to his face,"You go to hell, or join us no charge. You get food...oh how I miss food.... and a room to stay in. Just help and kill enemys. Its a very fair deal." "Fine... but a can't walk. Can you carry me?" Rockey picked him up and I went and got Shadow Reign and Oblivion.
"So Shadow Reign are you thinking about staying in forever now?" Epsilon said punching him on the shoulder. another rumble. Things seemed to be going well. Shadow Reign,Calamus, and Oblivion were healed, and we were having a big feast. At least everyone else but me was. Everyone hugged Rockey, which he didn't like at all. I patted him on the back and grinned. All seemed fine, Rockey started to say something. He was going to probablly tell about his experience, but he started off,"Hey everyone... Valkrin bit me..." He started then, I got got a sword thrown in me and bounded in light chains by Zacky. "Whoa whoa wait!" Rockey and Shadow Reign said at the same time. I hissed at Epsilon who shoved the blade in me. He pushed it up higher, ripping apart my ribs. "He accidently tasted human blood, and lost control. But its alright now, he's back to normal." Rockey finished. Everyone eased. "So quick to jugde..."I said. "How did you taste it?" Angelqiue asked me. "While I was gone I went and slaugtered every creature at UZ's kingdom. Only thing was, he had Vampires and human followers mixed in with masks on. I bit one that was human..." I told Angelique. "Oh," everyone said. Every was back to normal, feasting, telling jokes, and having rumbles.... All was good... for the time being.
XII.A City Under 0 degrees[shadow=red,left,300][/shadow]
"Another letter...."Epsilon said, holding up a piece of paper. "Let me see that,"Zacky got it and started to read,"Dear ArchSlayers,
I really need your help. A Queen of Ice has taken my town and turned it upside down. She has my Fire army dwindling. My own powers can not stop her. Please come and help us.
Yours,
God of Fire, AwesomeMan
"God of Fire? This guy seems full of himself..."Shadow Reign said. "He might be your other brother,"Rockey said. "Ok guys, we will meet up with AwesomeMan, and see what we can do. GodOfYeti, do you want to sit this one out? Your Yetis might not be welcome in a fire town." Zacky asked. "Ok, I'll go and see for any trails on UZ." GodOfYeti said.
About four hours later we got to the town, to see It encased in Ice. Zacky burned a hole through it, just big enough for us to walk in. Shadow Reign went in first, and was struck by an ice shard in the arm. I turned away, just in time to not see the blood rush out. "Crap Shadow, Move!" I yelled, and he ran out, and ripped the shard out of his arm. we all filed in, me last so I could not pick up the scent of Shadow's blood. We saw a man in a red plate with flames frilling off with white trim."Welcome to the war zone!" he said."I'm AwesomeMan, God of fire!" he said, and flames surrounded him."Nice to meet you. my name is..."Zacky started but got cut off by epsilon."Where are the Ice monsters?" he said. AwesomeMan poited over by a statue by himself, with at least 10,000 Ice monster being held off by fire knights. He ran off into battle, with his flame sword. The 13th and Shadow Reign joined him, slaying happily. "Sorry, my name is Zacky, head of the ArchSlayers. We will accomany you in the fight." He said, then darted off, waiting to slay. We all went after him, ready for the war upcoming. Just another day as an ArchSlayer.
[shadow=red,left,300]XIII.Befallen In Ice[/shadow]
He were winning with breaking a sweat. Maybe it was because we had an army helping us. Awesome was setting fire to every monster, it was amazing how he could control fire so well. Zacky and Angelique were tearing up the monsters with fire dices everywhere. The 13th got a new sword out, which smited all the enemys with fire. I was attacking and biting, but I had to precise. There were human followers of the Ice Queen. One false move and everyone might die in the day, including my fellow ArchSlayers.
We pushed them back farther and farther, to AwesomeMan's castle. "Oh my god..." AwesomeMan said, looking at his palace turned into an Ice Castle. "Screw invading MY castle!" he said, but we were running toward it. Rockey was super fast, we were neck and neck, yet again. He and me were in, and we heard A giant shatter above us. We looked up and saw the whole kingdom collapsing above us. A giant Ice boulder covers up the entrance, so I grabbed Rockey and tried to bash through it. It was so hard it broke my arm. I recovered, and we went and looked for a nother exit. We heard all the ArchSlayers trying to create an escape for us, but to no avail. "What now?" I asked Rockey."Well, there was the window, but thats covered up. Were about to be crushed buy at least 1 million tons of Ice." He replied. I swore under my breathe, and then It all came down. I was crushed, and I couldn't see Rockey. I couldn't do a thing.
"God of Fire!? AwesomeMan?! you killed 2 of our men! two of our finest!" Epsilon said, holding his blade to AwesomeMan's throat. " Sorry... I've never seen anything run that fast..." he said. "Wanna see fast?! I'll show you how fast i could kill you!" Epsilon said, about to stab him in the heart when Zacky caught the blade. "Enough!" Zacky said."For all we know, they could be dead, or not!" Zacky said, and ran toward the giant pile of of Ice.
Using a levatation spell, he lifted alot of Ice at a time. Oblivion turned Werewolf, and lifted some Ice. Epsilon was slicing some big ones, to make them easier to levatate for Zacky, and Angelique who joined zacky doing so. The 13th was doing as Epsilon was, and calamus was using an Elf-fire spell to melt the Ice. Soon they saw blood,alot of blood, and they assumed it was Rockeys. "Poor fella..." Shadow Reign said. Calamus unfroze the blood, and it started to move all together, and I reformed. "Its so fricken hard to reform when your blood is frozen solid!!!!!" I said, and saw everyone looking at me."You made it!!!" everyone cheered and strted hugging me. "Um... guys ... precautions.... unsafe....blood...." I said, but till hugging me. Affection. Not needed for the likes of me. "Wheres Rockey?" Epsilon asked me. "I.... I don't know. I was 'killed' before Rockey... I don't know where he is...." I started and every saw another blood pile, and went to look whos it was. We all saw the Ice Queen... coughing up blood. I checked her, she was not human. "Guys.... can I interragate her? She's not human..." I said, and everyone nodded. I grabbed her by her Ice dress and dragged her somewhere unseen.....
[shadow=red,left,300]XIV. A New Member, and another war?![/shadow]
"Did you see anyone escape the crash?!"I yelled at her. "No! for the last time NO!" said said to me. "Don't yell at me!" I said, slicing her arm once again. "Who sent you to attack!?" I yelled to her. "AwesomeMan is a pest!I attacked him myself!" she said, and I could tell she was lying. "Your lying..."I said grinning to show my teeth. I'm good at interragating. "UZ told me to attack..." she said. "UZ that bastard!" I yelled. "What is your name?" I asked her. "Meneliek..." she told me. "Thanks you for your time...." I said, going in to bite her.
Right before I did, she dropped dead. "Odd..." I said, then she was on fire, but it wasn't hurting her. I saw her drop down. She was being altered, her hair turned from Icy blue to white, and her clothes turned to White Calvalier.She even grew smaller to a girl. "What the hell?" I said. "Thank you, the Soul Harvester has left me. I am forever in your debt." she said. "Soul Harvester? Thransfromation? Wha?" I was muttering. "My name is Meneliell, I come from a place not on this Earth. My father was an Avian, a human with wings. I decended to this Earth, and was taken by a Soul Harvester, or something else..."She explained. "Um, I understand you a little bit better, and just to be on the safe side, I'm a Vampire, if you know what those are. But I'm a good one, I don't harm people. She stared at her arm. "Well, I don't harm good people." I said, and she was was healing her arm up. It was an amazing healing spell, which was better than Angelique's or Zacky's. It even seemed to go faster than my regeneration."Ah a Vampire. The Fabled legends are ture..."She said "I take it your an Elven?" I asked her. "Half Human also...." she said. "Then I know someone you'll like to meet...."
"Everyone this is Meneliell, a girl from another world!" I intrduced her, and she took a bow. We were partying in AwesomeMan's hall. She told everyone her life story, and everyone was amazed. "That must have been some hard childhood..." everyone was saying. Calamus was to stubburn to talk to her. Or maybe he was shy. I don't know. "Well, are you good in combat?" Zacky asked her. EVeryone knew what was coming. "Yes, I'm good with a Raiper, and exellent in healing spells." she replied. "Do you want to join our group? There is alot of Evil in the world, and we fight to protect it all!" Epsilon said. "Sure!" she said. Just then the town hall's doors burst opened, and a man with at least 5 arrows in the back was on the ground. Another one came in with an arrow in his leg. "Help.... Please....." the stranger said. "Whats your named?" Zacky said, and we all drew our swords. Meneliell got a Raiper from AwesomeMan's mastersmith. "K....Kelgerik..." the man on the floor said. "And I TwillyTheSlayer...." said the one with the arrow in the leg. Meneliell ran over to heal the most wounded, and Zacky went to heal Twilly. What happened to them I wondered. Then a man in a black armour and Shadow Blade walked in. "I'm her to tell Warlord UZ's terms," The man said. "He is outside this citys Ice dome!" Everyone drew there swords and attacked.
[shadow=red,left,300]XV.Conflict[/shadow]
We all tied the shadow rider up, and then tossed him in the inn's closet. "Oh great, we are totally surrounded..." Klegerik siad, fully healed. "Well buddy, we sure can fight though, can't we?"Twilly said. "You can fight?" Zacky said. "Yes. We are skilled in axes."Twilly said. Just then on of the few of AwesomeMan's fire knights fetched two golden battleaxes. "Good...."
We were heading out side and we saw a man on a horse wearing a vile and dark armour. I knew it was UZ, so I grabbed a small piece of wood from the ground and chucked it at him.It went right into the horse's eye. good. The horse fell, and UZ fell with it. Just then His army got into postion. We then saw some smoke,and some of Shadow Riegn's soldiers were seen. "We need all the help we can get...." Angelique said in dismay.
We then went into war with the most craziest warlord ever. Mostly because he brought a darkness dragon up and drank its blood. He then turned into a half-dragon. Then started eating his own vampires. He then grew longer teeth, red eyes, and another pair of wings. Then at least a dozen werewolves, and soon grew fur and more muscles and longer claws. Then he started charging at us. WOW.
He was heading straight for Zacky, our pround and noble leader. He was going so fast I could barely see him with my 'upgraded' eyes. Everyone thought he disappeared, but I went into the way to block Zacky just in time. I was blown back, and UZ thought I was Zacky and started to rip me apart. Which hurt. ALOT. Everyone confused, they went to stab UZ. One blade through the heart, 2 in the skull, 4 in the stomach, and 3 in each lung. Screaming in pain, i had time to regenteate, and then sliced his neck, and all the blood from all the creatures same poring out. "Is he finally dead?"Epsilon asked, then stabbed with a blade in the arm. We turned around and saw UZ, and looked at the floor. He wasn't there. "Wtf?" we all said at the same time, but Epsilon yelled it. Then We all saw UZ's army charging toward us.
[shadow=red,left,300]XVI. How Many Times Will This Happen?
[/shadow]
As we all saw the blade in Epsilons aarm, we lunged at UZ and he parried, and ran back toward his army at incredible speeds. Just not incredible to me. I noticed something going even faster then UZ, he was in a blur, and rammed straight into him. He fell down, and then this Person ran toward us. I saw his face.
"Rockey?" I yelled, and started running toward him. "Why do you always have to disappear and come back in the most odd circumstances?" "I really don't know..." he replied. "Well, we need all the we can get really...." Zacky came into the conversation."Well we better hurry, there charging at us pretty fast." Zacky said, and without hesitation, we all charged.
Epsilon and Zacky went to cover the far left, Twilly and Kelgerik went to the far right, Angelique, The 13th, AwesomeMan,Meneniell,Shadow Reign,Oblivion,Calamus, and all the rest went out into the middle, where most of the army was located. Me and Rockey were going to sneak up behind and pick off at them. But as we went across to the other side, we saw UZ standing there with a bow, and a arrow right in front of Rockey's heart. It then Pierced his armour, and I slowly started to smell his blood. He was going to die....I couldn't let it happen.......
[shadow=red,left,300]XVII. Change[/shadow]
"UZ!!!!!!!!!!YOU FUCKIN' BASTARD!!!!!!!!!" I snarled.I ran up toward him and shove my blade through him. And another thrust. And another. I would make sure he dies. After I PWNED him, and ran over to rockey. "Rockey..... Rockey...... dude don't die!!!!!!!" I pleaded, but nothing would help the fa... or is there.... I bent over to Rockey, pressed my mouth to his neck, then I bit. "This will hurt buddy....."I murmered. Then I tasted his his. I relalised I was killing him more. I tried to stop.... I couldn't.... then I just... let go of him... and....I stopped. I don't know how.... but I stopped. I got up, sliced my wrist, and let the blood float into his mouth. Then I waited for the burning spasms.
"Uh....ugh...what happend?" Rockey asked, weak. "I turned to him, surprised by how fast it took. I would have thought it would take longer... but I don't know, because I woke a Vampire. Rockey Rescued me. I rescued him. He woke a Vampire. Deja vu, or irony? "Rockey, why don't you see for yourself." I said, holding a mirrior to his face. Then he went even plaer than what we were. I was whiter than white..."You...you...saved me?" he searched for words to ask what happened. "Yea, you were going to die by that rotting corspe over there...." I said, pointing to UZ' body, but it wasn't there. "Oh come on, how many things can this dude do?!" I yelled. Rockey was confused. I told him what had happened after we walked up the hill. He was greatful. Well, be better get going Rockey, we've been gone an hour, and he has a big army...." I started to say. Then all the sudden Rockey fell to the ground. Did I do something wrong? What happened? Then holes in the back of his armour ripped, and Black wings started to form from his back. Fuck him. Life isn't fair, or life being a vampire isn't fair. For me. "What are those?" I asked. "I think there wings...."He said, waving them. he started to fly."Not fair..." I said...
Valkrin was just about 21 when is whole life completely changed. infact, it was stolen, and replaced by immortality.
[shadow=red,left,300]I. A Frightening Night[/shadow]
I was walking in a nearby forest, near my house. It was getting dark, and cold. I soon realized I should get back home, Tammy would probobally need to be feed, after all;black wyrverns need to be fed one every two weeks. I noticed I was In an unexplored area, where rumors said there was a beast who had slain a million men in one night. So I drew my sword, and started tracing my tracks back home. The only bad thing was, It started to rain, and was getting darker by the minute. Confused by which way my home was, I started running in the direction I last saw my tracks pointed too. I stumbled on a root of a Glaeci Tree, fabled to provide a source of magic. I got up, brushed my clothes off, and put my hands on the tree. I started to feel stronger, faster, and more agile. So I continued my way home. It started to get pitch black, so I took out my mini-lantern. I could only See two feet ahead of me. Still going forward, I started to feel weak, as the tree's powers payed its toll. I sat down for a rest, and was immediatly flipped up and was being held by anther human... or so I thought.
"It doesn't seem to me that I'm in a good situation...." I proclaimed."are you the Triku?" It hissed and threw me at a tree. blinded from not having my latern, I looked for his sword on the ground, found it, and started flailing it in every direction, and started running. tripped by somthing, I felt immense pain in my back, then my neck. I was loosing consencous, and fast. closing my eyes, I thought that it was my time.
[shadow=red,left,300]II. New Friends[/shadow]
"Hey Buddy! Wake up! Are you ok?" a unknown stranger said to me. I opened my eyes, and as soon as I did, he jumped back."Don't bite me! Please! I'm not tasty!" I yawned, and he jumped back farther. "Ugh...what happened? My back and neck are throbing!"I said. " Hey, do you know who ya are kid? Look in da mirror!" I got up, I saw I was in somone's house, and walked over to the mirror. I stared at myself for a second, then realized my eyes. Blood red, thirsty looking eyes. I opened my mouth, and I had fangs. I just kept staring. "The name is Rockey by the way, welcome to my home. I see you were turned last night." he said. "Dear god... I'm a Vampire!" I started. "Who did this? Was it you!?" " Woah hold yer horses buddy! I found you out in the forest with a cut in yer back, and a hole in yer throat. So I brought yer to my house, and healed the wounds, or tried, before they healed themselves."Rockey Said. "Oh, ok. Sorry we got of on the wrong page, My name is Valkrin. I live by Oarkintown, but about 2 miles out. Oh and don't worry. I won't harm you. I'm not thirsty. I think."
"So what am I supposed to do? I don't want to become an animal vampire, nor hurt or kill any humans." I said. " Well, Maybe you can Drink animal blood?" Rockey said. "Sounds good let me go try. Any Animals nearby?" I said. " Well we're under attack by alot of ice animals right now, Some are even magical!" "Sounds good, but whats your town doing about it?" I said. "Nuthin'. The ArchSlayers came into town. They're an Elite War group. Their leaders have amazing powers." Rockey told me. "Are you good at Using a blade?" I asked." I have duals,but I'm ok, I guess." Rockey told me. "Then come along!" He said yes, and we went to go to the war sight.
[shadow=red,left,300]III. Confronting The ArchSlayers[/shadow]
As we were walking up to the battlefront,A person in a golden sacred plate teleported from nowhere. Holding up a glowing gold staff, he said some magic words, and pain was inflicted upon in my chest. I collapsed, and he said to others in the distance fighting off ice creatures,"Oh great, now undead are coming!" Said the gold one. A man in a Brown-yellow plate with a golden axe came up, and was about to finish me off, when Rockey stopped him."What ya doin' that for, kid?" he said. "He's a good guy! He doesn't harm humans!" Rockey defended me. " Prove it then!" The Golden one said. He seemed to be the commander. "How am I still alive, and why isn't he fighting back?" Rockey said. "He's a newling, doesn't know a thing." Said the Warrior. "gah....please....remove....the...spell...can't....talk..." I said. "Why? so you can kill us? nu'uh! Lemme finish him, it'll take a second. He'll only fell a'lot o' pain!" Said the warrior. "Wait... let him speak." Said the commander. He released the spell, and I explained my story, but fast; I knew I had limited time. Rockey confirmed the story and the Golden one said,"Sounds true, But how did you see the reflection?" " I don't know...." I said. He then used a spell and made sunlight beam on me, it was overcast. Nothing happened. "Huh, looks like we got a oddball. M'name be Epsilon, Archslayer general. The Mage is..." "I can say my name myself, you take the kid and get him fighting... I need to talk with this one..." said the mage.
" My name is Zacky Rev Vengance, or Zacky Rev." Said Zacky. " Mine is Valkrin, nime to meet you," I went for a handshake, and he edges back and held his light-staff up. "Sorry about that, I'm trained that way, so its instinct." Said Zacky. "Oh, thats ok. So, Is there any dead animals from the war?" I asked. "Yes, we got some Dragons... why you ask?" Zacky said. "Well You know I'm a vampire, but I don't want to hurt any humans like yourself. So, maybe a can drink Animal blood..." I said. " Sounds like we will conduct a test, follow me." I followed him to a pile of dead dragons and other monsters.Zacky uses a spell, and a slit opens up a dragons neck, and blood flows out, and he flows it to my face. I take a drink, and oh how wonderful the TASTE! Better than panter ribs anyday!"Ok, it was a sucess, you can survive on animal blood!" Zacky said.
Zacky sent me into the war, with a blade made from Obsidion and shadows and a golden hilt. When a saw Rockey, he was lurking in the shadows, jumping on enemys backs, and stabbing his blades at emense speed.I also noticed he seemed to have a legendary armour on.I'd have to ask him about that. Too bad vampires go faster."Hey Rockey!Behind you!"I shouted, and Rockey spun and sliced the ice dragon in the heart. I cam over to guard his back, and the real battle just begun.
[shadow=red,left,300]IV. The Final Battle[/shadow]
Rockey was totally amazing in the battlefield.Oustanding. He killed hundreds!But so did I, and while I cleaned my blade with my tounge, while he just kept on stabbing. Zacky casted an Ultra Uber Fire spell which melted and cooked most enemys. Epsilon was hacking away with his sword.It was Finally over, all but one was slain, and he was A Giant.... SnowMan? What the Hell?
wheathe or not, he was HUGE! So Zacky,Me,Epsilon,and Rockey came to fight side by side.Soon others came, from afar in the battlefront, and said they were The 13th, Angelique, and GodofYeti. I brought out my blade, ready to slice his head into millions. ROckey disappeared, ready to sneak attack.Epsilon was charing to use a cast on his blade to make it fire. Zacky got out a flame staff and made a flame perimeter around us. GodOfYeti summoned 20 yetis to pummel the Snowman.The 13th was getting his blade out to attack. We waited for Zackys orders. The Snowman was about to Blizzard us. Finally, Zacky gave the go, and we started attacking.SNow everywhere, the human had a hard time seeing, a cleared it out, and we kept fighting. I was Impailed with ice shards, ripped them out of my chest, and threw em back. Epsilon was burried in snow, then it was melted by his sword. The 13th got a blow in the snow golems chest, and it started to crumble. I broke one of its arms, and Zacky Melted the other. Now he was using his snow to make mini enemys and angelique was melting them all with fire waves. Soon all that was left was him standing there, and Rockey jumped up, and sliced it in half. It was over.
Zacky asked us if we would join the ArchSlayers, and without heasitation ROckey said yes. I aslo agreed, but under conditions. I get my own quarters. don't want to risk anything. Oh and Hunting trips. Rockey told me about his childhood, and I told him that I'd hunt them down with him, and no matter what, protect him. He told me about the imperial assasian ordeal, and I thought that was pretty cool. After Everything, We got a new cry for help. So we rode out...
[shadow=red,left,300]V. Into The Night[/shadow]
Dear ArchSlayers,
Our town,Direnerit, is being destroyed by a large mass of Darkness monsters, and the sun isn't coming out. My Patalian Of Shadow Slayers is decreasing dramatically. We need your help.
Signed,
Shadow Reign
"Hmm,"Epsilon said,"That Name sound familair... but I don't know why..." "Well, ArchSlayers lets go to Direnerit!" Said Rockey. " Ok. Lets gather our equipment and meet in my quarters,"Zacky exclaimed.
"Ok, Valkrin, since your a darkness creature;no offense; you should try to walk in town from where they are attacking, and try to make a deal, and if not, attack. Me and Angelique will meet up with the ShadowSlayers and tend to the casualties. Then Rockey, The 13th and Epsilon will flank them if they don't agree to our terms. I will discuss those with you later, Valkrin." Said Zacky. "Ok then, I'll go and get my healing spells and light staff," said Angelique. "Ok, I'm Ready! Where are our horses?" Rockey asked. Zacky led everyone to the horses, and everyone sattled up. "No thanks, I can run there. I mean, after all, Im faster than a horse." I told Zacky.
When we got there, there were men In black uniforms with odd golden blades attack darkness creatures. Then I saw those incicvilized vampires. Disgusting, blood of ShadowSlayers dripping from theree mouths, claws scraping bodies,attack every human in sight."God, look at them..." Said Rockey."Glad your not one of em' "Epsilon tolf me. "Yeah... I still want to be human..." I siad. Zacky and Angelique went healing the wounded, Rockey, The 13th and Epsilon got in postion. As I was walking toward the other vampires, about a mile away, clashing with some shadowSlayers, I was takled by some ShadowSlayer. he thrust his sword through my gut, and It Actully hurt. When I tried ripping out, my hands startd to burn. "Silver..." I hissed, Part of my Vampire instincts kicked in. I had barely any contol, and I hissed at him, threw myself at him, and was pummeled to the Ground. "You can't beat me, stupid vampire. I'm too uber!" Said the ShadowSlayer. "Before you die, Let me introduce my awesomeness. I'm Shadow Reign, Head of the Shadow Slayers. I Reign Upon the shadws of the world such as yourself! Silver Sword in your gut, and now a stake through your heart!"He pulled out a silver stake like a dagger, was about to kill me, and epsilon threw back." Leave Him Alone!" he yelled, ripped the blade out of me(he did it brutally, so it hurt alot) and ran and charged at Shadow Reign.
An Epic Battle erupted, swords going everywhere, blood splattering, and chunks of armour. Epsilon got stabbed down by the arm, and Shadow Reign was about to kill him when he looked into his eyes. "B...b....brother? Is it really you?" Shadow Reign asked. "gah.... yes.... It's me... I wondered where I remebered the name. Finally recovered, I got up, and ran toward Shadow Reign, only to have tip of his blade pointing at me. "Stay away from my brother, vile creature, or perish!" He said, not even looking at me. With the other hand, he took the blade out of Epsilon's arm and asked Epsilon why he defended me. He explained to SHadow Reign my story, and then asked if he would join the ArchSlayers. He decliened, but then asked if all Shadow Slayers could be ArchSlayers. Zacky finnaly done with the healing, told him that they can, but our quarters doesn't have enough room, but the could come and help anytime they want to.
After all the Conflict we noticed Rockey and the 13th asleep, they fell asleep of bordem. So we woke them up, and went to the battlefront to aid the ShadowSlayers.
[shadow=red,left,300]VI. TO WAR![/shadow]
The war atcully was hard. I guess ot was because there more than the last. So many... how would we.... No. I have to think positivilly. We Have the ShadowSlayers to help. Shadow Reign Is here. All is good. We just need to push them back. I saw Zacky, he looked tired. we've been fighting for hours. I went over to aid him, but was blocked by a skeletal Behemoth. Sliced him in half and grimicing of no blood, I went to Zacky. "Hey, why don't you take a rest? you look tired." I told him. " Why? to miss the best and awsomest part. No Way! Watch The 13th!" He told me. I went to look over at him, and I saw his 12 blades, each representing something. Pull out one and holding it up in the air, a fissure appeared under most enemys surrponding him. He drew the next, and the lava flowed from the fissure. The third, Spikes of bone came out the ground. Alot of dead bodies were scattered. "Now Epsilon..."Zacky muttered, while imploding A dragon's head with light. Epsilon's eyes glowed gold, he held his axe up high, and a blinding flash occured. after it, all enemeys were blinded, and any monster near was dead. "Woah," I said slicing a vampires head off. "Rockey was right. you guys are special!"
After awhile, there were a few demons left. With my speed, I snapped 23 of there heads, and broke ones legs. I told the ArchSlayers to come over, and I interrogated him at who sent the army. He grinned and said," UZ will revenge you for the day.... he will. ugh... Beware the Ebil Warlord...." and then it died. "Ebil Warlord? huh?" said Rockey. "Doesn't sound too frightening.... but from the size of this army, and it probably isn't all of his, we better keep on guard." Angelique told us. "Well, Brother, You are very skilled at combat. I will meet you again one day, and hopefully in front of this 'Ebil Warlord' so we can own him together," Said Epsilon. Wow. he seems very glad he met his brother again. "And I you...Epsilon."Shadow Reign said while punching him on the shoulder. They started a brawl,punching and throwing each other, but we let them be.
"Rockey, come on! Give me my Blood-Wine bottle back! Your so immature!"I told him. "Gotta catch me first!"He said. "how stupid of you....." I grinned.
[shadow=red,left,300]VII. A Warlord's Kingdom[/shadow]
somewhere in a kingdom, far into the mountains....
"WHAT! THE WHO?" UZ demanded. "The ArchSlayers sir... they teamed up with the ShadowSlayers and defeated the army. But it wasn't a total loss... 127 ShadowSlayers died or will be unable to fight for a long time..." Said Oblivion, Ebil Gladiator and BodyGuard of UZ. "Well we let them in... and then they die. Do they know who we are?"Said UZ. "No Sir."Oblivion said. "Good..." UZ grinned....
In a Nearby forest...
Come on, Valkrin.Be Silent, and lunge at the right moment. don't let her get away. I lept, and caught my goal. A nice dear. Mmm It was a nice Dinner. "Valkrin! Were going to UZ! Come on!" Yelled Rockey. Crap. all other dears are gone... might as well go on now...
Back At The Quarters
"Ok, we have a major advantage point. UZ doesn't know that we know about him. He's pretending he's a king, and inviting us to a celebration of our heroicness, which we should have. Anyway, Epsilon, Rockey, and Valkrin, you guys will scale the back and get in, Valkrin will take out a vampire, dress as him. and pretend he is one. Rockey and Epsilon will be waiting to suprise attack him. The rest of us will be at the party, and when the moment comes, we strike. Any questions?" Zacky told us. "No? Ok lets go!"
When we arrived, me rockey and Epsilon went around the back of the castle and started the climb. It was easy for my, epsilon was trailing behind, and rockey and me were neck and neck. At the mid level, where UZ should be, we broke through the window, and I killed a vampire guard, and wore his uniform. Rockey and Epsilon behind me, they took postion on each side of a door, I opened, and saw UZ. Very magestic,powerful,cruel looking man. "What do you want, vampire?" he asked me. I drew my blade and said,"Your life. Instantly, a person who seemed to be a statue at first lept at me, and I jumped. I then came down and sliced his shoulder, while Rockey and Epsilon went to Chase UZ, who was running away. He used a spell on them, the became uncoonicous, and took Rockey away. "ROCKEY!" I yelled, and then my leg was cut off by oblivion. Enraged by how he took Rockey, I stabbed Oblivion in the gut, and then the leg. and I healed my leg, started chasing after UZ.I came to a dead end, and smashed threw the wall, there was a secret entrance.. following it led knowhere, more smashing onl revealed more room of nothingness... it was a maze. "ROCKEY! I"LL COME BACK FOR YOU! I SWEAR!" I kicked a wall a little too hard and it crumbled down and I saw a Wolf, big and armour plated. With a collar with the name Zorbak. "Crap." I said. it bite me in the arm, and i realized it had silver teeth. I snapped its neck and Epsilon came rushing down. "WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!" he yelled. "UZ took Rockey..." I said and slammed my fist against another wall.
[shadow=red,left,300]VIII. Gone...[/shadow]
"What happened Valkrin?" Zackey asked me. "UZ took ROCKEY! Leave me alone!" I ordered. I ran into a nearby forest... looking for any trail. "I will find you Rockey. I shall banish UZ to the deepest pits of hell! I promised you... you'll be back soon. I continued to walk farther and farther... deeper and deeper. It was starting to get dark. Night. My scantuary. Continued walking, I saw a figure for a split second. then Having a burning sword in my back, I knew who it was."God... Shadow Reign...It's me..." I said... with the silver in my back. "Sorry Valkrin... why are you wandering out here.... at night?" He asked, ripping his sword from my back. "We assulted UZ, the warlord. I got caught up with his bodyguard, and Rockey went chasing after him. He knocked him out, and dragged him onto a maze with secret entrances everywhere. I couldn't find him, or a trail. I'm so pissed!" I said, then kicked a rocked, and it shattered. "That must suck. The good thing is, we have been tracking UZ. we were planning an assult also, and we saw him in a cave near his castle... but it probably leads somewhere else far away..." Shadow Reign told me. "Well I'm still going to look for him no matter what."I said."Well,I gotta go and hunt vampires, you should leave..."Shadow Reign said. "Alright, I shall see you soon." I said, leaving.
Walking back to my quarters, I wondered where Rockey could possibly be. Turning back, I head back to UZ's Kngdom. I took out everyone in sight. Vampires and Dark knights scattered everywhere. Not knowing the knights where humans, I bit one. Then I tasted the HUMAN blood. AMAZING. I had no control after that. I ran everywhere, ripped and biting all the dark knights for more human blood.I destroyed the vampires, so I could have it all. After all were gone, I went to look for the cave that Shadow Reign talked about. I found it, but sealed off with a million stones. I went and bashed, bashed, bashed them away. There were so many. I kept on bashing, and finally no more. I was at no control still. I ran all the way through... It was a endless tunnel with little light. I roared, and kept running, until I saw An entracance to a dungeon. I ripped off the door, and no one was in there, only it seemed to be another maze. I kept on running through walls, until I got to a door with a code on it. I punched it, it, and it didn't break. I put in every code in 5 seconds, and it finally opened. I ran through, only to have 50 arrows pierce my body. Still in me, the arrows broke when I was running with tremendous speed. I found another door.... Only to see it was guarded by... Oblivion.

WARNING: My first chapter with graphical content. Swearing.
"Oblivion..."I hissed. "Vampire..."He replied. "How dare you call me that!" I yelled and charged at him. He jumped up, and sliced my back. It hurt. alot. "Go to hell, Vampire. And taste SILVER!" He said. I sweared under my breathe, and with my speed, ran up and slit his shoulder with my blade. "Lets see you win with one usable arm!" He regenerated it, and snarled. "Damn Were! Eat Obsidion!" I hissed, and lunged it in his heart, then I saw Shadow Reign right behind me. "How'd you get here?" I asked him, and jumped back from Oblivion. "I knew you'd be looking for him, and I know Oblivion is a WereWolf. Here." He said, and threw me a white blade, with a custon hilt that was silver resistant."Silver..." I said, and lunged at Oblivion, only to have him dogde and transform. "Fuck you..."I hissed. We were battling for hours, and I knew Rockey was in that door... or at least UZ. " stabbed Oblivion in the other arm, then the gut. He howled, and then I stabbed his legs and left my blade in one. I went out through the door, and saw... Rockey, blades stained and wet with Vampire blood... with the Vampire that bit me long ago.... Then I caught his scent of his blood.
"Rockey!" I said inching my self toward him. "Valkrin? You came?" He said. " Of course. I made the promis...Gah..." I said, and Rockey ran toward me. "Get back... I smell you blood.... I've tasted human blood...... get back...... please... I don't want to hurt y...." I then lost control. I lunged myself at him, and he stabbed me with his dagger. "...Sorry..." I said, then hissed, went in to bite him... he threw me back, and I came back and went for another lunge. He dodged, and slit my leg, and I still went after him. I took out my blade, and started trying to draw blood from him.I made A little slit on his arm, and went and bit it. He kncoked me off, sweared at me, and lunged at me and stabbed me in the neck and arm. I ripped the daggers out, and threw them at him. One hit his leg, and more blood came. I charged at him and he yelled, "STOP VALKRIN!" and I stopped dead in my tracks....
[shadow=red,left,300]X. A mercanary battle[/shadow]
"What the hell happened?" I asked rockey, seeing him wounded and bleeding... with bite marks in in arm. " Oh my god.... I'm sorry... I lost control...." I began, and he stopped me. "It's alright.... you've tatsed human blood... you went out of control... I understand..."he said, and grimaced in pain. Shadow Reign came in and saw Rockey, and drew his blade at me, and stared into my eyes. He dropped the balde, and grinned. "First time for everything, eh?" he said. "ALmost converting your freind and tatsing human blood..." " Whoa what?" Rockey said, and starred at his arm. "Crap..."Shadow Reign went over to him and healed him up, and we all stared at the door ahead of us... where UZ was.Rockey jumped up, and snuck being UZ's throne. He slit his head off, and it was a dummy. I note came out, and Rockey said,"Crap... he's getting revenge on us... We need to head back...." he said, and we started to run out of the cave.
Oblivion was still there... and when he saw us he he asked us," Please....Working with UZ is not paying off... don't leave me to die..." and Shadow Reign took him and put him over his shoulder and we started to head back to the ArchSlayers.Halfway there, We were runnng and we noticed and arrow hit shadow Reign in the leg. He dropped, with Oblivion with him, and yelled. We Say a man with elvish features. "My name is Calamus Procella, and UZ hired me. I will kill you, right here right now." he said. "Eh, well go to hell!" Rockey said, picking up oblivion. I picked up Shdow Reign, and we ran in a froest. Weset them down, then went back the the elvish man. "Lets see you take on us!" Me and Rockey said at the same time. Calamus knocked an arrow, shot it at Rockey, and it went so fast Rockey couldn't dodge it so I put myself in front of him. The shaft went through me, and I ripped in out, and jumped at calamus. The Fight began. and we noticed UZ in the distance, grinning.
[shadow=red,left,300]XI.Greetings to All[/shadow]
"You go up top,"Rockey said to me "And you below." I said, and we darted off same speed. Rockey spun around Calamus and cut his shins and I cut his shoulders. he fell, and we asked,"Speak now or die!" and he replied,"Death does not frighten me! But I am in no postion for this... UZ gave me your bounty for 1 million gold coins."He said. "Ha! Have you heard our stories? we defeat armies!" Rockey gloated. "Either you join us, or you die!' I said geting up in his face and baring my teeth."Vampire?WHy do you serve a good cause?" Calamus asked. "I'm not evil... I don't want to be a brainless ghoul for someone's army." I said. "It'll take some loot for me to say yes." he grinned. "Look pal,'' a said, holding my blade to his face,"You go to hell, or join us no charge. You get food...oh how I miss food.... and a room to stay in. Just help and kill enemys. Its a very fair deal." "Fine... but a can't walk. Can you carry me?" Rockey picked him up and I went and got Shadow Reign and Oblivion.
"So Shadow Reign are you thinking about staying in forever now?" Epsilon said punching him on the shoulder. another rumble. Things seemed to be going well. Shadow Reign,Calamus, and Oblivion were healed, and we were having a big feast. At least everyone else but me was. Everyone hugged Rockey, which he didn't like at all. I patted him on the back and grinned. All seemed fine, Rockey started to say something. He was going to probablly tell about his experience, but he started off,"Hey everyone... Valkrin bit me..." He started then, I got got a sword thrown in me and bounded in light chains by Zacky. "Whoa whoa wait!" Rockey and Shadow Reign said at the same time. I hissed at Epsilon who shoved the blade in me. He pushed it up higher, ripping apart my ribs. "He accidently tasted human blood, and lost control. But its alright now, he's back to normal." Rockey finished. Everyone eased. "So quick to jugde..."I said. "How did you taste it?" Angelqiue asked me. "While I was gone I went and slaugtered every creature at UZ's kingdom. Only thing was, he had Vampires and human followers mixed in with masks on. I bit one that was human..." I told Angelique. "Oh," everyone said. Every was back to normal, feasting, telling jokes, and having rumbles.... All was good... for the time being.
XII.A City Under 0 degrees[shadow=red,left,300][/shadow]
"Another letter...."Epsilon said, holding up a piece of paper. "Let me see that,"Zacky got it and started to read,"Dear ArchSlayers,
I really need your help. A Queen of Ice has taken my town and turned it upside down. She has my Fire army dwindling. My own powers can not stop her. Please come and help us.
Yours,
God of Fire, AwesomeMan
"God of Fire? This guy seems full of himself..."Shadow Reign said. "He might be your other brother,"Rockey said. "Ok guys, we will meet up with AwesomeMan, and see what we can do. GodOfYeti, do you want to sit this one out? Your Yetis might not be welcome in a fire town." Zacky asked. "Ok, I'll go and see for any trails on UZ." GodOfYeti said.
About four hours later we got to the town, to see It encased in Ice. Zacky burned a hole through it, just big enough for us to walk in. Shadow Reign went in first, and was struck by an ice shard in the arm. I turned away, just in time to not see the blood rush out. "Crap Shadow, Move!" I yelled, and he ran out, and ripped the shard out of his arm. we all filed in, me last so I could not pick up the scent of Shadow's blood. We saw a man in a red plate with flames frilling off with white trim."Welcome to the war zone!" he said."I'm AwesomeMan, God of fire!" he said, and flames surrounded him."Nice to meet you. my name is..."Zacky started but got cut off by epsilon."Where are the Ice monsters?" he said. AwesomeMan poited over by a statue by himself, with at least 10,000 Ice monster being held off by fire knights. He ran off into battle, with his flame sword. The 13th and Shadow Reign joined him, slaying happily. "Sorry, my name is Zacky, head of the ArchSlayers. We will accomany you in the fight." He said, then darted off, waiting to slay. We all went after him, ready for the war upcoming. Just another day as an ArchSlayer.
[shadow=red,left,300]XIII.Befallen In Ice[/shadow]
He were winning with breaking a sweat. Maybe it was because we had an army helping us. Awesome was setting fire to every monster, it was amazing how he could control fire so well. Zacky and Angelique were tearing up the monsters with fire dices everywhere. The 13th got a new sword out, which smited all the enemys with fire. I was attacking and biting, but I had to precise. There were human followers of the Ice Queen. One false move and everyone might die in the day, including my fellow ArchSlayers.
We pushed them back farther and farther, to AwesomeMan's castle. "Oh my god..." AwesomeMan said, looking at his palace turned into an Ice Castle. "Screw invading MY castle!" he said, but we were running toward it. Rockey was super fast, we were neck and neck, yet again. He and me were in, and we heard A giant shatter above us. We looked up and saw the whole kingdom collapsing above us. A giant Ice boulder covers up the entrance, so I grabbed Rockey and tried to bash through it. It was so hard it broke my arm. I recovered, and we went and looked for a nother exit. We heard all the ArchSlayers trying to create an escape for us, but to no avail. "What now?" I asked Rockey."Well, there was the window, but thats covered up. Were about to be crushed buy at least 1 million tons of Ice." He replied. I swore under my breathe, and then It all came down. I was crushed, and I couldn't see Rockey. I couldn't do a thing.
"God of Fire!? AwesomeMan?! you killed 2 of our men! two of our finest!" Epsilon said, holding his blade to AwesomeMan's throat. " Sorry... I've never seen anything run that fast..." he said. "Wanna see fast?! I'll show you how fast i could kill you!" Epsilon said, about to stab him in the heart when Zacky caught the blade. "Enough!" Zacky said."For all we know, they could be dead, or not!" Zacky said, and ran toward the giant pile of of Ice.
Using a levatation spell, he lifted alot of Ice at a time. Oblivion turned Werewolf, and lifted some Ice. Epsilon was slicing some big ones, to make them easier to levatate for Zacky, and Angelique who joined zacky doing so. The 13th was doing as Epsilon was, and calamus was using an Elf-fire spell to melt the Ice. Soon they saw blood,alot of blood, and they assumed it was Rockeys. "Poor fella..." Shadow Reign said. Calamus unfroze the blood, and it started to move all together, and I reformed. "Its so fricken hard to reform when your blood is frozen solid!!!!!" I said, and saw everyone looking at me."You made it!!!" everyone cheered and strted hugging me. "Um... guys ... precautions.... unsafe....blood...." I said, but till hugging me. Affection. Not needed for the likes of me. "Wheres Rockey?" Epsilon asked me. "I.... I don't know. I was 'killed' before Rockey... I don't know where he is...." I started and every saw another blood pile, and went to look whos it was. We all saw the Ice Queen... coughing up blood. I checked her, she was not human. "Guys.... can I interragate her? She's not human..." I said, and everyone nodded. I grabbed her by her Ice dress and dragged her somewhere unseen.....
[shadow=red,left,300]XIV. A New Member, and another war?![/shadow]
"Did you see anyone escape the crash?!"I yelled at her. "No! for the last time NO!" said said to me. "Don't yell at me!" I said, slicing her arm once again. "Who sent you to attack!?" I yelled to her. "AwesomeMan is a pest!I attacked him myself!" she said, and I could tell she was lying. "Your lying..."I said grinning to show my teeth. I'm good at interragating. "UZ told me to attack..." she said. "UZ that bastard!" I yelled. "What is your name?" I asked her. "Meneliek..." she told me. "Thanks you for your time...." I said, going in to bite her.
Right before I did, she dropped dead. "Odd..." I said, then she was on fire, but it wasn't hurting her. I saw her drop down. She was being altered, her hair turned from Icy blue to white, and her clothes turned to White Calvalier.She even grew smaller to a girl. "What the hell?" I said. "Thank you, the Soul Harvester has left me. I am forever in your debt." she said. "Soul Harvester? Thransfromation? Wha?" I was muttering. "My name is Meneliell, I come from a place not on this Earth. My father was an Avian, a human with wings. I decended to this Earth, and was taken by a Soul Harvester, or something else..."She explained. "Um, I understand you a little bit better, and just to be on the safe side, I'm a Vampire, if you know what those are. But I'm a good one, I don't harm people. She stared at her arm. "Well, I don't harm good people." I said, and she was was healing her arm up. It was an amazing healing spell, which was better than Angelique's or Zacky's. It even seemed to go faster than my regeneration."Ah a Vampire. The Fabled legends are ture..."She said "I take it your an Elven?" I asked her. "Half Human also...." she said. "Then I know someone you'll like to meet...."
"Everyone this is Meneliell, a girl from another world!" I intrduced her, and she took a bow. We were partying in AwesomeMan's hall. She told everyone her life story, and everyone was amazed. "That must have been some hard childhood..." everyone was saying. Calamus was to stubburn to talk to her. Or maybe he was shy. I don't know. "Well, are you good in combat?" Zacky asked her. EVeryone knew what was coming. "Yes, I'm good with a Raiper, and exellent in healing spells." she replied. "Do you want to join our group? There is alot of Evil in the world, and we fight to protect it all!" Epsilon said. "Sure!" she said. Just then the town hall's doors burst opened, and a man with at least 5 arrows in the back was on the ground. Another one came in with an arrow in his leg. "Help.... Please....." the stranger said. "Whats your named?" Zacky said, and we all drew our swords. Meneliell got a Raiper from AwesomeMan's mastersmith. "K....Kelgerik..." the man on the floor said. "And I TwillyTheSlayer...." said the one with the arrow in the leg. Meneliell ran over to heal the most wounded, and Zacky went to heal Twilly. What happened to them I wondered. Then a man in a black armour and Shadow Blade walked in. "I'm her to tell Warlord UZ's terms," The man said. "He is outside this citys Ice dome!" Everyone drew there swords and attacked.
[shadow=red,left,300]XV.Conflict[/shadow]
We all tied the shadow rider up, and then tossed him in the inn's closet. "Oh great, we are totally surrounded..." Klegerik siad, fully healed. "Well buddy, we sure can fight though, can't we?"Twilly said. "You can fight?" Zacky said. "Yes. We are skilled in axes."Twilly said. Just then on of the few of AwesomeMan's fire knights fetched two golden battleaxes. "Good...."
We were heading out side and we saw a man on a horse wearing a vile and dark armour. I knew it was UZ, so I grabbed a small piece of wood from the ground and chucked it at him.It went right into the horse's eye. good. The horse fell, and UZ fell with it. Just then His army got into postion. We then saw some smoke,and some of Shadow Riegn's soldiers were seen. "We need all the help we can get...." Angelique said in dismay.
We then went into war with the most craziest warlord ever. Mostly because he brought a darkness dragon up and drank its blood. He then turned into a half-dragon. Then started eating his own vampires. He then grew longer teeth, red eyes, and another pair of wings. Then at least a dozen werewolves, and soon grew fur and more muscles and longer claws. Then he started charging at us. WOW.
He was heading straight for Zacky, our pround and noble leader. He was going so fast I could barely see him with my 'upgraded' eyes. Everyone thought he disappeared, but I went into the way to block Zacky just in time. I was blown back, and UZ thought I was Zacky and started to rip me apart. Which hurt. ALOT. Everyone confused, they went to stab UZ. One blade through the heart, 2 in the skull, 4 in the stomach, and 3 in each lung. Screaming in pain, i had time to regenteate, and then sliced his neck, and all the blood from all the creatures same poring out. "Is he finally dead?"Epsilon asked, then stabbed with a blade in the arm. We turned around and saw UZ, and looked at the floor. He wasn't there. "Wtf?" we all said at the same time, but Epsilon yelled it. Then We all saw UZ's army charging toward us.
[shadow=red,left,300]XVI. How Many Times Will This Happen?
[/shadow]
As we all saw the blade in Epsilons aarm, we lunged at UZ and he parried, and ran back toward his army at incredible speeds. Just not incredible to me. I noticed something going even faster then UZ, he was in a blur, and rammed straight into him. He fell down, and then this Person ran toward us. I saw his face.
"Rockey?" I yelled, and started running toward him. "Why do you always have to disappear and come back in the most odd circumstances?" "I really don't know..." he replied. "Well, we need all the we can get really...." Zacky came into the conversation."Well we better hurry, there charging at us pretty fast." Zacky said, and without hesitation, we all charged.
Epsilon and Zacky went to cover the far left, Twilly and Kelgerik went to the far right, Angelique, The 13th, AwesomeMan,Meneniell,Shadow Reign,Oblivion,Calamus, and all the rest went out into the middle, where most of the army was located. Me and Rockey were going to sneak up behind and pick off at them. But as we went across to the other side, we saw UZ standing there with a bow, and a arrow right in front of Rockey's heart. It then Pierced his armour, and I slowly started to smell his blood. He was going to die....I couldn't let it happen.......
[shadow=red,left,300]XVII. Change[/shadow]
"UZ!!!!!!!!!!YOU FUCKIN' BASTARD!!!!!!!!!" I snarled.I ran up toward him and shove my blade through him. And another thrust. And another. I would make sure he dies. After I PWNED him, and ran over to rockey. "Rockey..... Rockey...... dude don't die!!!!!!!" I pleaded, but nothing would help the fa... or is there.... I bent over to Rockey, pressed my mouth to his neck, then I bit. "This will hurt buddy....."I murmered. Then I tasted his his. I relalised I was killing him more. I tried to stop.... I couldn't.... then I just... let go of him... and....I stopped. I don't know how.... but I stopped. I got up, sliced my wrist, and let the blood float into his mouth. Then I waited for the burning spasms.
"Uh....ugh...what happend?" Rockey asked, weak. "I turned to him, surprised by how fast it took. I would have thought it would take longer... but I don't know, because I woke a Vampire. Rockey Rescued me. I rescued him. He woke a Vampire. Deja vu, or irony? "Rockey, why don't you see for yourself." I said, holding a mirrior to his face. Then he went even plaer than what we were. I was whiter than white..."You...you...saved me?" he searched for words to ask what happened. "Yea, you were going to die by that rotting corspe over there...." I said, pointing to UZ' body, but it wasn't there. "Oh come on, how many things can this dude do?!" I yelled. Rockey was confused. I told him what had happened after we walked up the hill. He was greatful. Well, be better get going Rockey, we've been gone an hour, and he has a big army...." I started to say. Then all the sudden Rockey fell to the ground. Did I do something wrong? What happened? Then holes in the back of his armour ripped, and Black wings started to form from his back. Fuck him. Life isn't fair, or life being a vampire isn't fair. For me. "What are those?" I asked. "I think there wings...."He said, waving them. he started to fly."Not fair..." I said...
