The screams of people in agony fill the place, dragons are seen decimating the place, chaos and destruction is seen everywhere in a scene that looks like it used to be a city of nobles before destruction came upon it.
A little girl with white hair and red eyes not over the age of seven with bruises all over her body is running holding a child with golden hair in white linen, running like her life depended on it.
"She's over here" a male's voice is heard as she runs through an alley to meet a dead end.
"For a little child of a peasant such as yourself you have proven to be quite a bone up the ass" a tall good looking man without a top revealing his nice not too muscular figure speaks to the young child, as he approaches her he says
"The king and Queen are both dead, hand over the child and I shall let you live and turn you into the finest general this land will ever see" the young child with her fierce eyes filled with tears stands there holding tight the baby afraid, but not in fear of her life but in fear of not being able to protect the one she has been tasked to protect.
The man gets closer and as he tries to touch her the scream of a female voice is heard from above "Ducallion!" and almost as it was heard a huge flair of fire rains down upon the people in the alley behind Ducallion the man approaching the young child, everyone behind Ducallion is turned to crisps he looks up with a glare as he utters "Gaia"
He stares at a floating figure of a lady having glowing eyes burning with anger, her arms outstretched sideways and her hands flaming with multiple colours of fire, as Ducallion is looking up he suddenly feel a heavy aura behind him at where the young child was standing, he tries to turn back but before he can turn completely to look at the figure behind him his left cheek is greeted with a heavy punch that sends him flying some blocks away.
Gaia comes down to meet the young child, "You have done well" she places her right hand on the little childs head and all her bruises seem to miraculously heal.
"Now go and leave this place to us" the tears which had filled the young childs eyes for sometime now, begin to flow down her cheeks.
"We are extremely grateful for what you have done little one, we selfishly ask that you continue to look after that little one in your arms" the male figure that had sent Ducallion flying said.
"Yes... my King", the little child manages to utter realizing this two magnificent people, her King and Queen who had been weakened due to some poison wouldn't make it, she turns around still teary, she brings out a purple crystal from the clothing used to wrap the baby, she breaks it and a portal appears and swallows her up.
Gaia turns to face the King and kisses him, "Lets go Derek" they both turn around towards the direction Ducallion was sent flying, from the background Ducallion emerges,
"I should have known such little poison wouldn't be enough to end the lives of the oh so great King and Queen"
"I didn't think You'd feed us the poison of the two most poisonous creatures brother, all for what, look around you brother is this what you want? Is this how you want to rule? Is this all worth it? Is this how you want to be remembered in history?"
"Hahaha… history is only written by the victors my dear brother, and tonight I will be the victor!" Ducallion screams as he lifts his arms up and we see four beings who seem to be on his side appear along side alot of people most of them looking eager to kill.
"Kill them".
A huge battle ensues lasting 32 hours, devastating the land as big as a country, bringing everything down to ruins.
As all sound comes to a stop we see death all over.
The King and his Queen gasping, the King bleeding, missing one arm with one knee on the ground and the Queen bent over with one hand leaning on the King still trying to remain upright standing.
Ducallion comes towards them also bleeding with scars all over his body missing one eye, everyone aside this three that participated in this battle were killed by this two, the King and his Queen.
"Such power Is truly terrifying" Ducallion comments, " I am supposed to be the fourth strongest in this Kingdom and the fifth strongest on this Planet and yet, I and five other Supreme Peaks from the other races, alongside fifty thousand plus Soldiers non being below the level of S-rank could'nt bring you down…
Well doesn't look like you are gonna survive this"
He looks at Gaia
"Gaia submit to me now and I'll spare your life, Derek was never the one for you, you know I've always been the one for you why do you keep denying it"
Gaia smiles "Do you want to know my answer?" she turns to Derek, squats a little, holds Derek's face, "I love you my King" she kisses him passionately right in front of Ducallion who is fuming with anger, "I love you too my Queen, and I'm sorry"
With a smile on his face, a cracking sound is heard, Gaia looks down at where the sound comes from and sees Derek holding a broking purple crystal, with a panicked look she tries to quickly grab unto Derek but he pushes her and the portal opens up and swallows her as she shouts out to Derek.
Ducallion slaps his forehead with annoyance, "Hahahaha… of course the oh so great king would have had a countermeasure, I should have expected so, after all you have always outsmarted me since we were kids".
Derek manages to get up and starts walking towards Ducallion and with a shaky voice "No Ducallion you won this time, I am disgusted at your betrayal and you will pay for this someday but for now you won, I'm proud of you BROTHER" he hugs Ducallion as if resting on him, a single tear drops Ducallions left eye, he closes his eyes as he feels the fading heart beat of his brother who is resting on him, Derek breathes his last breath. Ducallion places Dereks body on the floor.
" In the end you just couldn't bring yourself to kill me huh? Even with all this power you were still such a coward" he clenches his fist and teeth as he kneels beside his brothers lifeless body.
" Goodbye Brother".
A chilly night in the winter at the west coast of Ireland, Galway at 2am, a drunk young couple singing while driving home at high speed in an old Honda Civic suddenly hits something which sends the lady flying through the wind shield onto the highway, but rather than she being injured, the path on the tarred road upon which she fell is destroyed, the man comes out from the bashed vehicle asking if he's wife AERIEL is okay.
"I'm okay OLIVER" she says while staggering trying to stand up, they both move to the point of impact and are both shocked to see a floating baby with golden hair protected by a transparent plasma shield.
"what a cute little baby" Aeriel says.
"I agree, but what's it doing here"
" who cares, lets take it home".
" Huh? We cant just take it home, we don't even know where its from or who's it is".
"Well I don't really care about all that, I'm taking it home" Aeriel says while looking at the child with affection.
"Sigh, fine but we aren't keeping it" Oliver bends, trying to take the baby but it wouldn't buldge, he keeps trying but there is no result.
Aeriel steps in, "you've gotten quite weak now haven't you" with a smirk on her face.
She leans over and as her hands touch the barrier surrounding the baby the barrier vanishes, as her arms wraps the baby the baby stops floating and drops in her arms.
"That's how its done Oliver"
"Yh yh"
Oliver looks at the bashed car and sighs, they both turn around and leap off into the sky not knowing that this drunken decision of theirs was about to change their lives forever.
19 Years later
"Can you please get off me" a young cute boy with golden hair says while shoving away the face of a cute younger female,
"Stop bothering your brother AURORA" A beautiful slender woman with black shining hair says coming in holding something in her hand
"Happy Birthday ARTHUR" She says holding the young boys hand and placing a necklace with a blue gem pendant.
"I got this from your grandmother when I was younger…"
"Im pretty sure you mean STOLE Aeriel" A tall muscular man with shining black hair and trimmed beards butts in.
Aeriel glares at him " Can you not interupt me when I'm speaking with my son Oliver?"
"Don't you mean OUR son?"
Aeriel stands up, walks to Oliver looks him straight in the eye "OURS? Is he really [OURS]? If my memory serves me right, I remember someone not…"
Oliver quickly covers her mouth with a panicked expression " Ok ok why don't we continue what we were doing"
Aeriel turns and says to Arthur, "that necklace will protect you from anything as long as the force is not as strong as your father here".
Oliver stands there with a proud look on his face
"Thanks mum but I'm pretty sure I don't really need this"
" Huh?... there's danger everywhere you cannot be too careful" Aurora says with a worried look.
"Well of course I mean I don't need it when I have you around" Arthur parts her head,
Aurora blushes " Well of course, I'll just beat up anyone who comes near you"
Just then a cute young lad with silver like hair and sky blue eyes around the same age as Arthur barges in and walks up to Arthur "Well I heard today is your birthday Arthur, I have come to grant you the honour of being in my presence, that alone should be more than enough of a birthday gift, but due to my benevolent character I have decided to grant you another great honour by letting you witness my new strength by beating you today and finally having you under me as it should be, you should be honoured Arthur"
"Hmmm… Well, so what you are saying is that you want to spar?" Arthur says.
"Do not put it in such low language, this is an Honourable event you should be happy about" the boy says.
Arthur sighs " I'm pretty sure we've had this [Honourable event] 78 times now Ares and you've lost in all 78"
" True but all that will be for naught after I conquer you" Ares affirms with a confident smile on his face.
Arthur sighs, stands up and walks outside, Ares follows behind him, he waves his left hand sideways from right to left and a platform appears, they both hop onto the platform, Arthur stretches his hand about to do something when a dome shaped plasma shield suddenely appears covering the platform.
"Try going easy on him this time Arthur" a young stunning lady having a beautiful white hair and glowing red eyes says with her two hands stretched out.
"You do know you aren't strong enough to hold up this shield without receiving a backlash right?" Arthur teases.
" That's why I said you should go easy, you know we need him for the upcoming Mara competition".
"Don't worry Beatrix he'll be well available" he says with a smirk on his face and stretches out his left arm and the plasma shield seems to have been re-enforced.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Ares, why don't you make the first move"
" I would happily oblige" Ares responds with a smile on his face, he puts out his right hand and pulls out a sword from empty space, his sword flares up with fire, he enters a stance and looks straight at Arthur,
"Here I come"and almost instantly appears at a 45 degree angle above Arthur with his sword ready to slash down, as he swings he's sword down Arthur raises he's left arm to collide with Ares' sword as if swatting a fly with the back of his hand, the collision causes a rebound and Ares is pushed backwards, he gets into stance once again deeps he's leg into the platform and pushes forward, as he approaches Arthur he turns trying to gather more momentum as he tries to slash Arthur, Arthur once again stretches forth he's right arm to stop the sword, but Ares suddenly vanishes and appears at Arthurs back, Arthur is surprised as he's eyes look back at Ares who is about to slash him, Ares smirks "Its my win".
The flaming aura of his sword becomes more intense, Ares hits Arthur and send him flying to crash into the barrier, Arthur drops to the ground looking passed out, it looks like Ares has won, but the supposed winner "Ares" does not drop his guard and remains in stance holding his sword with both hands looking slightly anxious "That was supposed to be my winning move, but just as I was about to hit him he fucking smiled? This fucking bastard" Ares thinks to himself.
Just then we see Arthur floating with a diabolical smile on his face, surrounded by sparking golden aura giving off a completely different vibe from the gentle, cool boy vibe he usually gives of.
"Ahh Fuck" Ares laments to himself.
And then Arthur utters with that smile on his face getting wider
"I took that to see how much stronger my punching bag has become, and although you are still lacking you have definitely become stronger, now then, shall we see how much more hits you can take now".
He stretches his right arm and golden arrow head like spikes pops up behind him and are sent flying at almost the speed of sound towards Ares.
"I'll take you on" Ares shouts out, as the golden spikes zoom towards him he starts slashing them as they approach him, he couldn't deflect or slash all of them and some slice at his shoulder and thighs.
Ares groans still trying to stand his ground but then almost instantaneously Arthur appear in front of Ares' face still having that smile on his face and his arm in a position about to punch Ares.
"Shit" Ares splurts as he quickly holds up his sword with his left hand having the edges facing sideways and places his right arm behind the sword to block the punch, the punch hits heavily and Ares is sent flying, breaking through the barrier, Arthur puts forth his right hand and it seems like something grabs and pulls Ares back into the barrier from over 200 meters away, Ares' face is met with Arthur's palm as he is pulled back and is smashed onto the platform.
Arthur stands up and looks down on Ares lying helplessly on the ground, " Well that was boring" Arthur gives off a sigh.
"I agree, I had expected more since you spoke well of him saying he was the best in your grade aside from you" Oliver says with a look of boredom.
Ariel punches him on the arm and walks towards Arthur, "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay mum, you should check on him tho" Arthur suggests while pointing backwards at Ares where Beatrix was already trying trying to heal him, Ariel quickly gets down on her knees places her hands on Ares' chest, her hands begins to glow with a light green aura, she then asks Beatrix how bad it was.
"It isn't too bad, he only has some cuts, a broken Ulna, a sprained wrist and an injury to the back of his head, that's light compared to what he'd normally have to go through".
Ariel glares at Arthur with the look of "what's this I'm hearing?"
"Don't worry ma, as you know Arthur is a quiet, calm and quite shy person, he's only like this to Ares" Beatrix chips in.
"Oh, but is there a reason for that?" Ariel asks.
"Well…
