Hundreds of battle cries filled the air as King Leopalds forces moved down the mountainside charging toward their enemies below knights all covered in black from a mysterious enemy kingdom. The dark knights stood still as Leopalds warriors charged full force. Finally the mysterious black warriors started to unsheathe their blades and twirl them faster and faster in unison. Then suddenly fireballs started shooting out of the thin air their blades sliced. Jacob the laziest but most unique of Leopalds knights was charging quite reluctantly with Leopalds frontal assault he took the first effect of the first fireball the ball landed right in front of him and the blast caused his horse to stop so suddenly that it sent him flying straight into the air as he flew over the enemy knights he slowly pulled out his claws his own hand made weapons and landed on one of the dark warriors taking him out with his overhead assault he then quickly placed his own hand made smoke bomb into his mouth and closed down on it creating a cloud of smoke more then 15 knights ignorantly ran right into the smoke then Jacob lit a match and set off some kind of explosion blasting any nearby enemies back at least 100 feet. He retreated into the forest below. Jacob originally became a knight to show off his inventions his custom made weapons but he was greatly underappreciated he avoided combat as much as possible and at this moment his only concern was getting out of this battle. Ever since he was young he dreamed about adventures and exploring the world becoming a powerful warrior and undefeated champion of sorts. But he knew he was just too lazy and not willing to put forth enough energy to achieve anything. Jacob’s father freely expressed his disappointment in him very often but he didn’t care he still did what he wanted. Jacob wasn’t really born with a rebellious spirit just a self serving one. He gradually began to grow out of this though he gradually began to grow into a different man. He ran and ran until he came to a clearing with one tree in the middle of a field he went to sit under the tree then the spirit came out. The spirit that has been haunting him ever since he found the wolfs teeth the teeth of the spirit of the hunt hid his teeth in a cave whoever found them would gain his power the owner of the teeth would have increased senses like a wolf but they would also but eternally haunted by the spirit. “You’re a coward worthless coward you never change” the wolf snarled “Oh give me a break look I did something creative with your teeth I made them into claws they’ve become the most dangerous weapons in the kingdom!” Jacob yelled with excitement smiling and laying back against the tree with his eyes closed “I can’t wait until your weakness causes your death” the wolf said then disappeared. Jacob had confidence in himself he thought he was the smartest person in the world and never once worried or had a moment of insecurity he always quickly turned away the advice or criticism of others. Then he heard a noise and saw four dark knights coming up the trail toward him “So you guys are paladins huh black magic paladins maybe I should be afraid” said Jacob as he slowly came to his feet. Paladins are knights who also study magic combining their physical and mystical skills to become the deadliest of warriors “You got away from us back their boy but we’ve caught up to you now and we want to play heh heh” said the leading knight. Suddenly the three knights behind him rushed forward to attack Jacob with their blades but he jumped straight up digging his claws into the tree and climbing to the top “Cant get me up here” Jacob said with a grin “You stupid boy!” the leader yelled then he ran up and chopped the tree down Jacob jumped down the back of the tree and pushed it over as it had been cut the tree crushed the knights effortlessly. Jacob started back to the kingdom he suspected that his side had won as usual. Leopalds forces had never been defeated and even though these black knights had started to amass quite a reputation taking over land and destroying villages Leopald wasn’t the least bit afraid. Jacob moved through the woods hiding in the shadows of the trees on the way back to the castle he watched through the trees the armies fighting black flames incinerating trees the dark knights magic was more powerful then expected. Jacob made his way into a small cave that led into the sewers under the kingdom he heard the battle cries louder and louder until he started to hear screams of pain and terror. He realized his kingdom was in real trouble so he started to run faster and faster through the underground tunnels when he finally came to an opening that led out to the middle of town. He started up the ladder but then stopped he wasn’t sure this was such a good idea he would probably just be killed after all and then suddenly he couldn’t move he felt paralyzed and fell to the ground his haunting spirit was angry “Let me go release me let me have control over your body I’ll show those paladins real power” the wolf growled “You know {Jacob started to speak as he came to his feet} I should give you a name maybe fang? That sounds good…listen fang I don’t intend to fight only get out of here now goodbye I’ll see you later” Jacob said in a mocking tone then he took off running down the tunnel hoping to find another opening outside of the castle town. Suddenly shadows began to cover the walls and 3 knights appeared in front of him “Looks like we have a coward on our hands now” said the one knight “Yea looks like it” added another one Jacob didn’t say a word he just stood their silent. Two of the knights came at him drawing their swords one slashed downward while the other lunged into a thrusting stab Jacob dropped and rolled to his left then readied his claws and lunged forward throwing out a fake strike his enemy raised his sword to defend but then Jacob side stepped and struck his wrist knocking the blade out of his hand the knight quickly ducked while the other knight behind him slashed at Jacobs head Jacob ducked as well then kicked the other ducking knight in the waist and kicked him into the knight behind him they both stumbled to the ground Jacob jumped back and adjusted his claws immediately he wasted no time advancing forward to attack again but suddenly his enemies dispersed into shadows. “Magic…that’s just cheating come on guys your already outnumbering me” Jacob remarked as he looked around the room. Suddenly one of knights came out of no where behind him “He’s behind you fool!” Fangs voice rang loud Jacob ducked and backed into the knight with his elbow striking him in the stomach then quickly turned and slashed his neck with his claws taking him to the ground. Jacob moved to finish him but he dispersed into flames. “My throat he really got me! How did he know I was behind him?” the knight asked. Jacob turned to see both knights standing next to each other in the middle of the room the knight speaking was losing blood fast “Maybe you just weren’t quiet enough” the other knight replied as he began to move forward. He walked slowly closer and closer until he broke into running slashing side to side at Jacobs throat twice then another downward slash Jacob ducked twice then leaped to the side the knights blade cracked the ground. “Your getting tired boy heh heh I guess you aren’t a very diligent trainer” laughed the knight with confidence. “That’s not really your business” Jacob replied with a vague grin. The knight lifted his blade into the air and then it suddenly it burst into flames. He broke into slashing and cutting away at Jacob. Jacob dodged the blade successfully but the flames covered him he was sweating and smoking “Oh come on can you just play fair?” Jacob stated more then he asked “This is fair don’t you realize how long it took to master magic like this?” the knight replied. Jacob looked to his right and noticed the water flowing down like a river he moved fast and waited for the knight to grab him then he purposely stumbled and flipped the knight over into the water putting his flaming sword out. Jacob grabbed the knight by his helmet and then started pounding him right hook left hook right right left leaving the knight falling unconscious into the water. “Their we go all done” Jacob said to himself as he held his swore blistered hand “Geez I’m not used to that much action” He said to himself again. Jacob walked a few steps down the tunnel then stopped when he realized their were 3 knights back their one had disappeared, He looked behind him to see the missing knight standing with 5 others he fell to his knees sweating and exhausted. “Release me let me handle this” Fang growled “Fine this is all yours” Jacob stated with no hesitation then he closed his eyes and cleared his mind giving the spirit room to move in. Three knights moved forward while the other 2 moved around Jacob until they covered him in a circle they all lifted their blades and formed a giant fireball above his head then suddenly they brought it down on him but right before it hit him Jacobs body grew more hair much more and he grew fangs and claws the blazing ball collapsed over him but when the smoke cleared he was gone. “What!? where did he go!?” one of the knights asked then suddenly their was a loud howl like a wolf then the confused knight became very nervous he was shaking so hard he tried to draw his sword and dropped it to the ground then he looked up to see Jacob moving fast across the wall his claws digging in then suddenly he leaped and shoved his claws into the nervous enemies shoulders flipping around in the air and sending the knight hurtling against the wall the four other knights came at Jacob all at once Jacob stood still with blood shot eyes his fangs drooling over the blood stained ground then as soon as the dead knights body hit the ground Jacob leaped into the air and landed behind the other knights. Jacob grabbed one of the knights around the throat from behind and snapped his neck “Come on is that all you’ve got lets see some of that magic come on I’m waiting” Jacob said with a grin. “What are you?” asked the leading knight “Call me wolf-fang and remember my face warn your master!” Wolf-fang said with a laugh. The Three knights came at him all at once again then Jacob let out a howl that shook the ground. The enemies dropped their weapons to cover their ears and then ran. Wolf-fang turned into Jacob he fell to his knees still as exhausted as before looking at the dead bodies “Well I can take full credit for two of those” he said to himself trying to clear his mind of any guilt by laughing it off then he continue down the tunnel. Jacob ran down to a large opening where their was light leading out into a field he came out to find paladins fighting Leo’s knights the paladins seemed to be losing so Jacob tried to slip through. But one of Leo’s knights caught him “Hey Jacob their you are where are you going you coward!” he yelled and grabbed Jacob in a head lock “Come on man lets get out of here you may have won this battle but we’ve lost the big fight” Jacob pleaded. The knight released him and threw him to the ground “I will slay you myself filthy traitor” the knight said as he drew his sword Jacob tried to run but more knights appeared behind him “Come on guys I really don’t want to hurt you” Jacob stated mockingly. The knights just laughed “I really don’t see that happening” replied the ring leader “Come on Rex our real enemies are back in their” Jacob while pointing to the castle walls. Rex the ring leader leaped forward into attack Jacob blocked his blade easily with his claws the blocked six rapid attacks then fell to one knee on the seventh. Rex smiled and took another sideway slash at Jacob he blocked it but it knocked him to the ground “your lucky I’m too exhausted from my last battle to take you right now “Yea I’m sure” Rex said while laughing. Rex lifted his blade to ready another strike but then was suddenly covered in flames and stumbled back. Dark paladins emerged from the trees and bushes surrounding them. Jacob searched his pockets and found one last smoke bomb he placed it in his mouth and ran straight for two of the paladins released the smoke and then quickly shifted past the enemies and made his way stumbling through the forest heading anywhere but there. Jacob grew up in Leopald’s kingdom in the country known as Nextel-Omi-One in his world their were only two countries two halves of the world their was Nextel-Omi-One and Hellstrum. In Jacob’s country of Nextel-Omi-One their was one large Elvin kingdom that took up most of this country the dwarf society in the mountains and dozens of both large and small human kingdoms. On the other country there are the Ogre lands the titan lands and very few small hidden troll and goblin cultures. The ocean lied between the two countries their were countless unexplored islands along the ocean. The merman kingdom underneath the water was very vast and held mysteries much unknown to land dwellers. Jacob moved to a small village in a valley between he dwarves mountains sum 700 miles from his kingdom which was now seized by the dark paladins. Jacob never knew his mother and had no siblings as far as he knew. His father died when he was very young he lived in a orphanage growing up and became a knight because he was a good strategist and knew he needed some occupation to survive. But now that he’s living in a much smaller village as an ex-knight he knew he needed to do something to survive. He started off as an errand boy and eventually progressed to part time body guard but as he started to work with the law more he realized that’s where his destiny lied. But he couldn’t follow the rules he was more vigilante then officer so he decided to try his hand at bounty hunting. Jacob found this to be his true calling he learned to use fangs power to track down his bounty’s he began training with a famous swordsman and shaman Master Red Wolf. Red Wolf was veteran soldier for the king before Leopald he knew Jacobs kingdom well. Red wolf was considered one of the best swordsman in the world but not only that he was a shaman he learned to channel spirits like the one Jacob had haunting him and borrow power from them. He was famous for channeling red wolf spirits thus his name. He is long retired now and is taking students but the only student to show any real success under him was Jacob. After training with him for 10 years Jacob became known as the most infamous bounty hunter in Nextel -Omi-One. He was known as Wolf-Fang and Jacob loved the label so much he took it as his new name sometimes forgetting his real name his father had given him at birth. Wolf-Fang was very happy with his occupation and reputation and cared nothing for changing anything in his life but soon his life would change involuntarily soon things would shift to a different outlook soon he would be forced to make the choices between right and wrong that normal people aren’t pressed with. One day Jacob was sitting in a small café’ thinking about days of old when a strange man walked in. The man was wearing a long trench coat and a cowboy hat he had long hair even longer then Jacobs and he was dirty like he was homeless. Jacob was no clean cut gentleman himself his hair was only slightly shorter then the stranger and he always wore the same leather jacket every day although the fact that it was leather was barely recognizable anymore Jacob was busy chasing bounties he barely took time for personal grooming his only spare time was devoted to training with Red or rest. He was baked red from the sun and his hair was the color of the sun itself. The stranger looked around suspiciously and then turned to notice Jacob. Jacob pretended not to notice and directed his attention back to his drink. He thought to himself “Oh no he’s recognized me no doubt he wants to meet the infamous Wolf Fang” the stranger walked over with a big goofy grin staring at Jacob. Jacob slowly looked up with just his eyes “Hi” he said. The stranger just continued to grin Jacob then noticed he had an eye patch over one eye “Ok well I’ve got to go so…” Jacob said and then began to get up the stranger quickly pushed down his shoulder sitting him back down “No No I’m sorry my name is Ryaswish but you can call me Rya and you are Wolf Fang” Rya said “Yea I am look you want an autograph or something?” Jacob asked. Rya just kept grinning “Ok well…” Jacob said as he started to get up again “Oh wait forgive me I just well actually I kind of thought you were a myth I mean you’re said to possess a wolf spirit” Rya quickly stated. Their was an odd moment of silence as Jacob reseated himself and then Rya continued “Well anyway what are you doing?” he asked “I’m having something to drink and about to head home to rest” Jacob answered with a small tone of irritation “I kind of expected you to be off on another adventures hunt” Rya stated “Well actually I kind of just got back from one that’s why I need to rest…see the prison over their that’s where the 3 dangerous pyro-maniacs are waiting for death I caught them” Jacob answered proudly as he took another large drink of his coffee. Rya continued to look over at the prison with great interest “You don’t get out much do you” Jacob asked. Rya turned around “I..” he began to reply but Jacob interrupted “Look I don’t mean to be rude but could you just state your business please I’d really like to get home” Jacob stated with a fake sarcastic smile. Rya jumped to his feet and pulled his hat off throwing into the lap of a much older gentlemen sitting at the table next to them leaving him quite befuddled. “Well them’s fighting words!” Rya yelled. Jacob started to reach for his knife when Rya spoke up again laughing “I’m just kidding sheath your blade my friend” he stated. Jacob sheathed his knife and leaned up with a very confused look on his face “I’m an assassin on a mission but I need your help you see I’m after an old friend of the great Master Red Wolf and I hear you know him do you think I could meet him maybe?” Rya asked “Well normally I would say no but you are crazy fella you know that absolutely insane and I kinda like that so lets go I was thinking about going to see him anyway” Jacob said finally returning the strange mans grin they walked out of the café’ “Don’t you want to get your hat back?” Jacob asked as he threw his empty cup over his head on the ground and put his sunglasses on Rya looked back at the empty cup quickly ran up in front of Jacob stopping him in his tracks “That was just a part of my disguise I’m constantly changing my appearance you see while you might be infamous out here in the public world I’m infamous in the world of secret societies as an assassin I have to continue wearing different disguises so no one important recognizes me” Rya stated somewhat excitingly “Thanks” Jacob stated with another sarcastic grin and kept walking past him “I don’t know if I really believe you’re an assassin you seem too goofy” Jacob stated while sighing deeply “Yes I am a bit strange at least I seem to be” Rya replied walking behind him. Jacob squinting his eyes further confused “You don’t have very good people skills you know that” Jacob stated “That’s because I grew up a monk learning the ancient and deadly arts we learned them to protect our many temples and the relics within but we weren’t allowed to leave or have any connection to the outside world but I was eventually shunned based on a false accusation…long story short I became an assassin” Rya replied. “Quite a story you have their…Listen (he said while stopping) I’m only taking you to my master to get you off my back so don’t try to include me in your business” Jacob stated “Of course” Rya replied in an assuring way. They continued walking up a small hill to a large mansion Jacob walked right in and asked one of the maids for master wolf. “Wow this is where he lives this is amazing” Rya asked “Yep this is it” Jacob replied. “Well thank you stranger” a man said walking down the stares his very clean cut clothed in red a long red jacket and dark shirt and pants. “Hello master Red Wolf I’m looking for a man they call Abyss he is said to be an old friend of yours” asked Rya “What business do you have with him?” asked Red “Well I’m an assassin who has been paid to kill him” Rya answered non-chalantly but yet seriously. Jacob noted they he did seem serious about his work after all. “Well I’m off” Jacob said abruptly while turning and beginning to leave “Now just hold on a second Jacob” Red said stopping him. Jacob rolled his eyes and sighed and turned “Yes master” he replied irritatingly. “I’ll make you a deal Rya if Jacob can beat me in a duel then I will tell you everything I know” Red stated as he took his jacket off revealing sword at his waist. “Deal!” Rya yelled excitingly “Now wait a minute I really don’t feel up to this its been awhile master this isn’t my business and you {he said angrily pointing at Rya} you promised to keep me out of your business” Jacob stated angrily “No I didn’t I just said ‘of course’ they could of meant anything” Rya explained with a smile. Red drew his sword and walked toward Jacob. Jacob still reluctant “Now hold on I’m tired” Jacob said “Always excuses maybe that’s why you’ve never beaten me” Red stated “I’ve beaten you plenty of times before” Jacob answered angrily “Not the way I judge it” Red replied and then began striking at Jacob with his long blade. Jacob dodged his attacks easily “Look old man I really don’t want to do this” Jacob continued “Old? He only looks half a decade older then us” Rya said while sitting on the edge of the stairs “He uses spirit energy to keep his youthful appearance but believe me he is much older then he looks” Jacob stated finally putting his claws on. Red leaped into more attacks Jacob easily blocked and dodged them then suddenly Red caught Jacobs sleeve with his blade and twirled his sword ripping Jacobs left claw off of his hand Jacob made the mistake of diverting his attention to watch his claw fly up against the wall while he was distracted Red grabbed his collar and pulled him into a head butt knocking him to the ground “Haha your getting your but kicked your not so bad Wolf Fang haha” Rya laughed. Jacob was getting really angry now he let out a growl and quickly turned around throwing an uppercut strike at Red but Red easily jumped back dodging it “That’s good keep mocking him it gets him worked up” Red stated “Loser loser” Rya was beginning to enjoy himself now. Jacob started to head toward Rya but Red whacked Jacob in the stomach with the side of his blade “I’m your opponent remember” Red stated Jacob decided he would have to beat Red down to find any rest today so he slyly loosened the strap on his claw and threw out a lunging attack at Red. Red jumped back again but the claw flew off Jacobs hand and hit him right in the face Jacob then drew his long Knife and started striking at Red. Red blocked the attacks with only one arm using his sword his other hand over his bleeding nose finally Jacob knocked his opponents blade to the ground but Red caught it with his foot and kicked it back up to his hand and started striking at Jacob started backing up blocking the attacks with all his strength. The infamous Wolf Fang and the Legendary Red Wolf doing battle this is quite a rare site Rya thought to himself. Jacob dodged one sweeping strike and lunged forward tackling Red but Red easily through him to the side landing him on the ground but Jacob wasn’t done yet he bounced right back into another lunge his fingernails were grown long like claws he was using fangs power Red blocked with his sword but Jacobs claw broke the sword and knocked Red on his back. “Impressive your fighting like your usual self now Jacob” Red stated. Rya’s interest was peaked. Jacob began to walk back in forth waiting for Red to get to his feet. Red clapped his hands and his servant threw down another sword Jacob walked and picked up his claws put them on and stood ready in his animal like fighting stance they circled each other for a few moments and then Jacob suddenly attacked left strike right strike again and again Red blocked every strike then Jacob quickly jumped to the side dodging a downward slash Jacob backed off for a moment then ran straight toward Red. Red got read to stab but Jacob fell down into a baseball slide striking Red’s ankle with his claw and sending him flying twirling in the air Jacob hopped to his feet smiling walking toward Red who was laying on the ground Jacob grinned and kicked his sword to end of the room. He walked toward Red then suddenly Red hopped to his feet with a large dagger and came right for Jacob he almost had him but something stopped him short. Jacob had jumped back and dodged the attack anyway but Rya had caught Red’s hand with his whip a long black whip “What a skillful catch my friend but please don’t interfere” Red stated “Sorry I thought you had him and I really need him to win but carry on” Rya stated and released Reds arm. Red threw the blade at Jacob he barely dodged it but that was merely a distraction so Red could rush to the other side of the room and grab his sword. Jacob didn’t try to stop him he only slowly followed him Red picked up his blade and began to surge the energy of the spirits around him he grew claws and his hair grew long and pointy and not to mention red. “Now its time to really get started” Red stated with a grin revealing his fangs. Jacob took upon the same transformation although his brought no surge of energy and his hair was gray. Red jumped to the ceiling stabbing his sword into the wall to stick. The ceiling was a good 50 feet off the ground so this was quite a feat. Jacob ran to the wall digging his claws in and climbing up toward Red. Red pulled his sword out and fell toward Jacob but Jacob bounced off the wall in a head on collision with Red grabbing sword with his teeth stabbing his claw into Reds shoulder they turned and turned through the air so much that Rya couldn’t tell who landed on top but the impact sent dust and rubble flying everywhere Red kicked Jacob sending him flying toward the door knocking it open he then threw his sword out after him the sword just barely missed Jacob and hit the ground Red ran out after him pouncing right on top of Jacob. Jacob grabbed him and pulled his stomach into his knee knocking the wind out of Red they tumbled and tumbled rolling down the hill until they hit the road in the middle of town. They both came to their feet and Jacob slashed Red right in the face with his claw knocking back a few steps Red stumbled but then came right back at Jacob. “Stop!” yelled a police officer “Not this again cuff em’ boys” it was the sheriff. They cuffed Jacob and Red and started to carry them off to jail Rya stood at the top of the hill his mouth open wide. That night Red and Jacob sat in their cell “This is all your fault if you hadn’t attacked me like that you know how worked up I can get” Jacob said angrily at Red “Yes I know but it makes me feel youthful and we haven’t dueled in such a long time” Red replied “Well are you really going to help that guy find your old friend to kill him?” Jacob asked “Oh Abyss isn’t an old friend more like and old colleague besides I won didn’t I? so I guess I have to” Red replied “Wat!?..” Jaocb began to protest but Rya interrupted “Hey guys I’ve come to bail you out “What took you so long!?” asked Jacob “Well it took me awhile to figure out how” replied Rya “HAHA well good thinking my friend get us out of here” replied Red with a hearty laugh “You got it!” Rya replied and then used the key to unlock the cell door “Where did you get the money to..” Jacob started to ask then he noticed the guard out cold on the floor with not a scratch on Rya “Never mind” he continued. “Well looks like that‘s another win for me you can put in the book Jacob!” Red said “I really don’t see how you won I got the last blow didn‘t I“ Jacob said angrily “You know I wasn‘t using my full power I could have called upon much more power from the wolf spirits“ Red replied. Jacob knew this was true Fang was the wolf spirit of the hunt but their were wolf spirits of death wisdom and many other things no one really believed that these spirits had anything to do with these things. The spirit world was an entirely different world altogether and if a bear spirit in the spirit world was very good at dancing he would be called the spirit of dance it‘s crazy if you think about it but no one cared to try to change old traditions. Their wasn‘t anything special about the spirit world it‘s simply just that everything was different their and when beings from there came in contact with beings from Jacobs world their chi energy fused and made them very powerful increased physical energy combined psychological wisdom and physical strength of course their physical appearance is always fused to a certain point. “So about Abyss” Rya started “All I know is he’s in Hellstrum I don’t why he lives their now but he does if you want to find him you’ll have to go their” Red stated “There are a lot of interesting characters in Hellstrum for you to play with Rya have fun!” Jacob said with an irritated smile then started to walk off “Now hold on just a minute Jacob” Red stopped him. Jacob grunted and rolled his eyes “What now!?” he yelled. “I think you should assist this fellow in his mission” Red explained. Jacob laughed “Now why on earth would I wanna do that after all the troubles he’s caused me already “Well that’s not real polite” Rya started “Just shut up for a minute” Jacob said annoyed pointing his finger at Rya “Well I think you should because I would be willing to pay you 15g if you do” Red replied. Jacobs smirk immediately died out into a seriously bewildered expression “Why would you do that?” Jacob asked “Because I don’t believe in coincidences I believe everything happens for a reason its destiny that you two have met I can feel it and also because…I know Abyss is up to no good he always was he was one of the founding members of the dark paladins after all and even though he’s no longer a member of them I know he only serves himself and probably doesn’t have good intentions being in Hellstrum” Red replied. Jacob stopped to think for a few moments he could tell by the look on Rya’s face that he did want Jacob to go with him and he knew Red had plenty of money to spare and 15g that would buy him a vacation for quite awhile when this is all over. “Ok ok fine I’ll go I’ll humor your little quest but just for the money and we are waiting until tomorrow I need to rest!” Jacob yelled “Fine by me” Rya said. They both walked off “So where are we staying tonight buddy?” Rya asked putting his hand on Jacobs shoulder. Jacob buried his face In his hands frustrated beyond belief. Red grinned and walked back toward his mansion. Jacob wasn’t as care free as he used to be but he was still just as lazy and when he talked to Ryaswish he saw the naïve young man he used to be and feels jealous wishing he could feel the same he used to. Jacob still didn’t worry or fret over any problem he knew he could always face it. Red walked up the steps to his mansion and sat down on his bench thinking of how things were In the past. Red Wolf, Abyss and Hallendale they were heroes legendary…they stopped the evil Magnus and Drapez two very powerful sorcerers who were necromancers. The art of necromancy is the most powerful form of sorcery Magnus was the one who discovered it but he could never master it. He found Drapez when he was just a boy and trained him in the art of necromancy he found that the boy had exceptional skills far beyond his own. Drapez became more and more powerful. They both conquered the world as student and master they accepted challengers anyone at all who thought they could defeat them. Young Alexander Hills also known as Red Wolf was only in his early 20’s at the time and yet he was still known as a great swordsman but more importantly he could connect with the spirit world as well. Necromancy is a black magic that stills power from the evil and hateful spirits of the spirit world to use that power to cast very unnatural spells. But Alex borrowed the good spirits power to enhance his own chi energy. Fusing his spirit with theirs. He was called a shaman instead of necromancer and he was the first one so everyone expected him to rise up and face the two evil sorcerers. But he knew he couldn’t do it alone so Abyss and Hallandale offered their help. Abyss was also young at this time although he was 4 or 5 years younger then Alex. Abyss was an S-rank criminal he used magic from the world around him to increase his own energy and create spells that enhanced his weaponry. Warriors like him were called paladins. He wasn’t the first paladin their were many before and after him but he was considered one of the strongest or at least a young paladin who could one day be the strongest mostly because of his sword Obelisk it was especially made to absorb magic and become indestructible he had the two witches help him create it. He only stepped up to save himself. Hallendale was the same age as Alex. Hallendale was half demon half human the first and only one in history no one knows how that came to be and no one cared to know. He was feared by many and he lived as a hermit in Hellstrum. He was a master of the scythe he held two small scythes with connecting chains. No one dared challenge him their were legends and rumors that when he fought it was a battle to never be forgotten he rose to defend the world even though the world had shunned him. These three rose and fought the evil necromancers Magnus was killed but Drapez the more powerful opponent was said to get away. After the world was saved the three warriors went their separate ways so no one knows what really happened at that great battle. But many rumors spread rumors that Abyss tried to betray his comrades even rumors that he helped Drapez get away. But Red knew the truth Abyss and Drapez were great enemies they both wanted ultimate control of the world. Red didn’t know why Abyss allowed Drapez to get away but he knew it wasn’t to help Drapez Abyss would sooner kill him then help him. Abyss joined with the elder paladins of the world when the battle was over and together they began training more and more young paladins to become deadly warriors and then they began to train the next generation and so on and so on. Eventually they amassed an army to take over the world the army they have now but Abyss asked for too much power and was eventually kicked out of the paladins by the eldest member and reigning leader Falin. Falin was more then 100 years old his body has been completely taken over by evil spirits in his old age he had become too weak to keep control. You see Falin had been secretly dabbling in necromancy himself but he tried to take in too much power and ended up losing his body to many evil spirits. So the dark paladins spread across the world now conquering kingdom after kingdom.
