Chapter 1 - Warriors Bloodline

In the ancient times, many kingdoms are forged. Kingdoms that are so powerful that even small kingdoms or empires are no match for them, armies that are so vast they can even shake the earth.  Many people suffers from the trauma of war. Many orphans never known who their parents are. Men became soldiers of war, women and children became slaves. 

Legends say that long ago there are people who have so much power to control the tides of war, warriors that comes to restore balance to everything. They are stars that watches over us and one day will come down to end this war. Each of them has the mark of the chosen, each represents a corresponding zodiac and tasks to perform. As war rages on, people are waiting for the coming of the heroes to end the long raging war. And so the beginning of the story takes place in a small town in a mountain border between the Empire of Zion and Kingdom of Prius. The two powerful nations are always arguing bout the land on the border regions, a lot of skirmish missions are deployed by the two nations.

A child is running back to their house, Pa! there are so many soldiers coming i think they are Imperial Soldiers. Armed with black heavy armors, riding horses and bearers of the Imperial Flag you can identify that the warriors are from the Imperial Capital of Zion. Wei get inside the house and close the windows. Yue take Wei and hide inside the room. Yes Feng, come with me Wei. Wei then went to the room with her mother. The soldiers are passing right in front of the house when a group of Prius Scouts are sighted by the Imperial soldiers. There! they are the ones! catch them! The imperial soldiers rushed to catch the two Prius scouts. Brother run! we must get back to the border quickly. Rien tried to carry Jun but Jun is heavier than he expected. Rein *ugh* run now, my time is short already so please save yourself  *ugh*. No brother Jun I will never leave you. At my condition I will not escape this place, I have a severe wound in my chest. Jun's body is engulfed by the pain of his wound. As the imperial soldiers approaches them. Their hearts are trembling as the soldiers are getting close to them. I will not be killed by their swords, but i would rather sacrifice our souls to the dragon. Rein it's the only choice we have eh? Wei went to his father to also look whats happening outside. Pa! I wanna see also. Wei peaked out from a small hole in their window with his father. Feng speaks, I think the two scouts are trying to do something, I see their brotherhood as soldiers are strong that they would rather die together instead of leaving someone behind. And the Imperial soldiers approaches, the captain of the soldiers speaks, Why the two of you did not run? Are you not afraid being killed? Jun Answered, Even we run, we will never make it to the border outpost. Rein speaks. I will not leave him we will die together and if this is our end we will gladly embrace it. Pa! we should do something to save them! nagged by little Wei to his father while pulling his father's robe. Feng answered. We will not interfere Wei, it's not our business to do anything. But Pa! They will be killed! Feng sat down in front of Wei and hold on Wei's shoulder. I'm sorry Wei but my soldier times are already over, i have given up everything to protect you and your mother, that's why we don't need to interfere. This is the reality and if you need to protect someone you have to give up on many things to accomplish it, and I decided to leave the Imperial Army just to protect you and your mother Yue. Someday Wei you will understand what i mean to you. Wei cried and goes to the room where her mother was. 

Wei stop crying please? All i can say that it is their destiny to die here today and we can't do anything  to change it. Wei stopped crying and wiped his tears. He asked her mother, Ma when i grow up i Wei will change the destiny of many people, i promise you that ma!. Yue hugged Wei so tight and whispered in his ears. You will be a great man someday Wei, and me and your pa will be very proud of you. 

As the commotion outside gets louder and louder. The captain of the imperial soldiers draws it's sword and pointed it to Rein. Destroying my enemies is my greatest pleasure, but in your case i need to end this quickly. Rein stands up and draws his sword. Then i would die fighting, since i can't escape anymore. The captain dismounted his horse and stand in front of Rein. The soldiers rounded up and formed a ring like arena. The captain formed a sword stance, where he stands straight one hand at the back and his sword is held in front of his face. Then let's duel soldier of prius, amuse me. Jun fainted because of a severe wound in his chest. Rein speaks. This is the end anyway, but before anything else, can i at least know the name of my opponent? The captain speaks, My name? I am 3rd division east captain Albert Mandrove. Anyway you will just remember that name for a short period of time. Let the duel begin!.
