It was a stormy night...Thunder crashed down into the earth...Rain was pouring down quite rapidly...And our land...Was doomed...

A terrible evil we thought would never return has been released, and it has sent armies of monsters to destroy our land so that it could rule.

One man tried to prevent this from happening. One man garbed in red, wielding a blade that could control Light and Darkness, tried to fight off the hordes of monsters that came for our land.

One by one, any monsters that dared stand in his path were swiftly put to the sword. But then came the confrontation against the leader of the monsters...Him.

???:...I don't know how you escaped that place, but mark my words. I will make you wish you stayed there! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Charging to the monster, the man struck the beast by the tail, but it didn't seem to do much.

???:I see you've adapted. But it won't matter, cause i've got a few tricks up my sleeves!

The man casts a sphere made from pure light and throws it at the monster's head, stunning the creature. The hero swings his blade at the creature, trying to find a weakpoint, to no avail.

But he never gave up! There would be times when the man and the beast would clash blades against each other. But though the beast was powerful, the man was determined to the very end.

The battle raged for many days and nights. Until finally, the beast was tired.

Taking hold of his blade, the hero struggled to climb up to the creature, but finally he made it. He positioned his claymore to the creature's chest.

???:I call upon the light and darkness within this blade. Grant me every ounce of your power to destroy the evil that has disturbed our land for so long! With the Sacred Triangle in my hand, i strike down the enemy of peace, AND BRING FREEDOM BACK TO OUR LAND!

The man's claymore is coated in light and darkness, giving him a chance to stab it on the monster's chest.

The whole land was filled with waves of light and darkness of the likes never seen before. These waves lasted for a whole minute, until they ceased.

Drained, the man fell off of the beast, the claymore still on his chest. The beast removes the claymore, laughs at the man's efforts, and throws it as far as it can.

???:*Exhausted* N-no...This...Can't be...

The man starts losing hope. He had just lost the only weapon that he thought could save everyone...Or so he thought.

He had remembered that he held another weapon. An old, but reliable weapon. He takes it out and faces off against the beast once again.

???:*Exhausted* This...This claymore...May not be...As powerful as...The other one...But it has seen...A lot more combat!...Even if i fail...There will be others...Who will stand against you...Maybe not today...Maybe not tomorrow...But one day...They will rise...And realize their destinies...As heroes!

The creature laughs, and with one mighty roar, it charges at the man. The man also charges at the beast, both preparing to strike each other. And with one mighty strike, both of them are at their knees.

The moment lasts ten seconds...

Twenty seconds...

Thirty...

*Clank*

*Thud*

...It was over...Our land...














Was doomed...

The man who stood against evil had just been struck down. His blade sliced in half, his chest bore a huge cut and his body surrounded by a pool of water and blood.

???:...So this is it...I guess...This was meant...To be...

Slowly, the man started to accept his fate, his eyelids slowly closing.

???:Everyone...Forgive...Me...

And with that, the last hope for our land was gone. We were now under the dominion of evil. Unknown to us that a silver glow came from the man before he died.

To honor his great sacrifice, we built him a memorial. One that would serve as his resting place, and a test for those who would revive his legacy. No one has succeeded.

Until they do...The fate of our land...Is in the hands of the gods.
