Village in Flames
It was a quiet breezy evening in the Whispering Pines, Ashton sat in the corner,
as usual, staring at the floor boards of the tavern, sipping his water minding
his own business. During this evening he fell asleep, while his friend Mika
tried waking him up, but to no avail. "Hey Ash, wake up, Ash?" said
Mika. Ashton didn't wake up, he seemed tired, but the truth is he is remembering
his dark past...
Ashton's Past: "Fire! Fire!" one of the villagers shouted. The small
village of Lunarville, sitting on the outskirts of Yew, near the soon-to-be town
of Necropolis. Lunarville was being attacked by brigands, thieves, and undead,
the village was burning, and only one man was fighting against the hordes of
brigands, thieves and undead. "Father!" shouted a young boy, the boy
nearly head toward his father who was fighting against the brigands until a
older boy pulled him away. "Isaac! Don't! You'll get yourself killed!"
said the older boy. "But father will die!" the young boy said.
"Have more faith in our father Isaac!" the older boy said, the older
boy took him into a house which is supposedly their home. "He'll be ok..
Right big brother? He will be..." Isaac said. "Of course! No one can
kill our father!" the older boy said. But it was to no avail, with the
village in flames, the hordes of brigands attacking one man, the father of the
two boys was about to be killed. "Father! Isaac stay here! I'm going to
help him...!" the older boy said. "Yes brother... I'll stay! Be
careful!" Isaac said. With determination the older boy took a large two
handed viking sword from the wall of his house and went outside to do battle
against the brigands. "Father! I'm here to help!" the older boy said
while slashing and killing a few brigands in his way. "Ashton! Get back in
the house and protect your brother! I can handle this myself!" the father
said. "No! I have to help Isaac can handle...!" Ashton said, but
behind him a few brigands went inside this house his little brother was in.
"Isaac!!!" Ashton yelled, he ran to the house quickly but not until he
saw his father being pierced to death by 10 brigands. "No... Father...
Father don't die!!!" Ashton said. "Ashton... I'm sorry... save..
yourself..." his father said. "Father!" Ashton said.
"Ashton.. Go protect.. your brother... grrgh..." the man fell dead.
"No!!!" Ashton yelled, but then he heard a scream coming from his
house. "Brother!!!" Isaac yelled. "Isaac!!!" Ashton yelled.
It was no use... He dropped his viking sword, his brother and father is now
gone.. dead, his life is meaningless... But... *loud heartbeat* Ashton felt
something... *loud heartbeat* This was it... If he was going to die... *loud
heartbeat again this time in rapid motion* He was going to take everybody with
him... *rapid heartbeats* Ashton yells with such fury and hatred, his eyes turn
red, his body is enveloped in a red aura, he yells with such fury... "AAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ashton yells. The brigands thieves and even the undead were terrified at the
sound, for they knew now what they were dealing with. *heartbeats* A daemon is
born...
The town is in shambles, the brigands, thieves, undead, Ashton's father and
brother are now dead... And Ashton is mortally wounded... But conscious... He
grabbed his sword... but due to the remains he couldn't find his brother and
father's corpse... He went to his house and took his father's diary... And his
mother's bracelet.. The only thing he knows of his mother... He walks off into
the horizon... Only to collapse in Yew... There goes the story of Ashton.. And
how his power is revived...
"Ashton.. Ashton! Wake up you dolt!" Mika yelled in his ear. Ashton
woke up, spilling some water on the floor. "Wha.. What?" Ashton
muttered. "You've been asleep for 3 hours! Good god... You need more sleep
Ash!" Mika yelled. "Yeah... Whatever..." Ashton murmered. Mika
walked off to serve the remaining drinks to the other customers, while Ashton
sits there... And opens up his father's diary.. while staring at the bracelet on
his wrist.
